FULL BROADCAST: Russia, Iran, China, America’s Grid & The MN State Fair | David Pyne, Melissa Huray & More

0:00This is Brandon House Live. Whether the issue is law, science, economics, history, family, social issues, education, religion, government or national security. Brandon brings the issues of the day into clear focus through the lens of a Judeo-Christian worldview. Now here is your host, Brandon House. And welcome to the broadcast. Glad you are with us tonight. Thursday night, September 3rd, 2026. We're going to have on David Pine tonight. He hasn't been on a while, but he wrote an article and it caught my attention and I want to talk about it real quick tonight. If it's over at dpine.substack.com, dine.substack.com, the article is entitled Trump Dispatches

1:01CIA Director Radcliffe on urgent missions of Moscow to warn Russia not to attack NATO. I want to talk about that. I want to talk about cyber hacking. I want to talk about the pull of the data centers on the power grid because he's also the head of the EMP task force, which is now I think just called, I don't know what's the name of it now, something task force, more than EMP. But anyway, we're going to talk for a few minutes tonight with David Pine. Then I want to bring on Dr. Lana real quick because I used to wake up now for several months feeling very dizzy. I'm like I was going to pass out right in the middle of the night. And I would even feel dizzy just walking around vertigo. And guess what folks, I've ended it. It has gone away. I want to tell you what I've done, what I've done, which clearly has fixed the problem. Maybe you can learn from some of this as well. So I want to talk to her about what I'm doing, my diet, what it's done for my blood sugar in glucose level and my quality of life as well as

2:08walking to enough miles in the morning and at night on my treadmill. So I want to get into some of that blood sugar stuff because I think more of you have this issue than many of us may know. But yeah, I've got a remarkable story. I want to tell her and I'm so happy to be feeling so much better, not feeling all dizzy and jittery and like I'm going to pass out and whatnot. So I want to talk to her about that. Then we're going to have some fun. Then we're going to stop talking about wars and rumors of wars and plagues and pestilence and famine and power grids going down. And we are going to talk just flat out fun. The Minnesota State Fair. Now I used to go to the Minnesota State Fair when my father with the federal government moved us up there from Mississippi over to Washington DC, Washington DC to Minneapolis St. Paul in 1981. We moved there August of 1981. Now I started tending the Minnesota State Fair and most of them I married in 1981, 1991 and we

3:08lived a few miles from the State Fair and we would go three to five times during that 12 days. We had we just have so many fond memories and of the fair. But it was also we are going with a lot of great friends, but the food, the mini donuts, the sweet Martha's cookies. Oh my, I want to know what some of these vendors make. We're going to look up tonight while we're on the air. What do some of these vendors make? But I want to talk to you. I said, well, what what we did is we asked, I thought Logan and I were talking. I said, Logan, who do we know up in Minnesota that we could send in the Minnesota State Fair? And Logan said, how about Melissa? Hooray. And I said, yeah, that's a great idea. So we called her up. We said, hey, would you be willing to go to the Minnesota State Fair? And she said, sure, I'd be willing to do that. And so she recorded a bunch of reports for us. She's going to be with us to introduce them. We're going to go through them together, talk about them. We're just going to have fun tonight. Just have fun. Logan, this is a pro example. This was a booth at the Minnesota State Fair that we would go to. And they would do talent shows. And it was long before things like America's got talent or the

4:16voice or whatever, just a good old fashioned talent show. And kids would try out and be picked. And then they compete with each other, singing and whatever. I think some of them probably played an instrument. And a lot of them were vocalists. And then they'd advance to the next night. And to then to the finals. Anyway, or sometimes it was just a good old concert. But it was just a lot of fun. A lot of fun to go and walk around and eat some of the great food. And the Martha's, the Martha's cookies, the Martha's sweet cookies. This is what you would get Logan. You could get a bucket bowl. And they would literally fill the bucket overflowing. Now, I want to find out tonight, how much that lady's making. I think she has three locations. I want to figure, I want to find out tonight. I'm going to look up how much she makes in a, in a 12 day period at the fair. I think you guys might be shocked at the number because I've been hearing the number, but I want to validate it.

5:16They've set records this year at the Minnesota State Fair. But anyway, Melissa Hurei went. She did a lot of filming. I think we even get to see Walter. Walter is a big bore. We're going to see Walter. We're going to see all kinds of stuff tonight. So we're going to have a lot of fun tonight. We don't always have to be serious. Sometimes we can just have some fun at the Minnesota State Fair. So that's what we're going to do tonight after we take care of some business. Speaking of business, let's go over to worldviewstore.com, worldviewstore.com. My book, my next book coming out is called another gospel, Biblically refuting Calvinism. Not Brandon House refuting Calvinism, Biblically refuting Calvinism. And because they have to twist scriptures to defend this doctrine of there, these doctrines, which is another gospel. And I explain why. And anyone that wants to get upset, well, you're going to have to argue with the Bible because that's all I'm presenting is the Bible. And I'm doing it in context. And I show

6:19you the many passages they take out of context. There's nothing to do with what they're talking about. But many people don't know this. And they get drawn away by the simplicity that is in Christ. And as I said yesterday, you must ask yourself, is this a system that is consistent with the character nature of God, the love of God, the justice of God? People being created just so that God could destroy them. People being judged for not believing who were never given the ability to believe. They never had the ability. That's what Calvinists believe most of them. They own doctrine, they're own teaching, their own words. No, the issue is not inability. The issue is unwillingness. You were not willing, resisting the Holy Spirit. I give all the scriptures. So people don't like it. They're going to have to argue with God. Not me. I'm just presenting what the Bible says. I'm doing what the Bible tells us to do. That is to destroy the doctrines of demons and expose it. What's the doctrine of demon? Anything that contradicts the word of God and

7:22the way of salvation and the character nature of God, which at the end of the day is blasphemy. So if you want to get this, it's hardcover. It's hardcover. It's just like the revelation commentary. It's part one, two, and three. Same printing seven by 10 hardcover. And it's a part of a growing biblical world you library. My next one will be on Christian Zionism. I've picked the final name of that this week end because I'm going to be using Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. It's been hours writing each day to finish it up. I'm almost done, but I want to add another chapter. And so are two. And then we're going to go that one to the printer. So that'll give us three revelation commentaries. Another gospel, the Christian Zionism book. That's five books right there. And we'll be adding more. Eventually, it's going to be 20 plus, 30 plus books. Be part of a biblical world view library. So you can collect them and add to them as they come out. Please consider an order right now.

We're about to go to the Minnesota State Fair. But before we can have recess, we have to do our work, work before reward. And so we're going to have some work, some great interviews. And then we're going to put away all of those things and just have fun and maybe laugh a little bit and joke a little bit and get a great tour of the Minnesota State Fair, the second largest state fair in the country next to Texas. All right. Let's get going. Well, he hasn't been on in a while, but he's back because he has a very interesting article out at dpind.substac.com. Look at this headline. Trump dispatches CIA director Radcliffe on urgent mission to Moscow to warn Russia not to attack

9:31NATO inside Russia's secret plan to expose NATO as a paper tiger with a limited Russian invasion of Baltic territory and force Ukraine to surrender by surrounding its capital city of Kiev. He joins us now former military man himself, David Pine. Also ahead of the EMP task force, we have a lot to talk about related to that. A lot has happened in the news, including warning about Chinese parts on our grid. And finally now, well into two years of his second term, he finally signs an executive order dealing with that problem. One that many of us have been warning about for a long time. David, welcome back. Good to see you. Hey, Brad, great to be back. Let's go to this one. Your subst to warn Russia not to attack NATO. What do you think is going on here? Because we're also getting warnings by our Martin Armstrong. And I don't have to agree with everything everybody believes to

10:36appreciate law their content. Not everybody agrees with everything I say, but they appreciate a lot of our content. And I'm really following Martin here. He thinks that some of these guys over there in Europe really want to invade Russia. They want that 75 trillion maybe and minerals in the ground. I don't know what their plan is. Some of them think they need a war, their economies in such bad shape. They can inflate their currency more, justify it with war, be a distraction. I don't know. It just seems like every day I get up more and more of the world is looking less stable. And now we have something that is definitely not sending a lot of message of Paul Manpise is when the CIA director runs off to Russia. What's going on here David? Well, great to be back on your show. President Biden of course set the world on fire with in a war in the Middle East and of course in Ukraine, which he essentially,

11:39personally, guaranteed that would break out in refusing an offer from President Putin to pull back troops to exchange for a written guarantee that the US would never expand NATO into Ukraine. But yeah, this trip was pretty extraordinary. It was an urgent trip. Stephen Bryant, a former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense reported that the plane had to stop, right close to the plane had to stop in Latvia because Russia hadn't even authorized the flight. They weren't really even aware of it. And he didn't want his plane to get shot down by Russian Earth defenses. So he speculates that President Trump had to make a call to Putin to allow the plane even to land. Rackliffe had a hope to meet with Vladimir Putin reportedly to warn him not to attack NATO because NATO and US intelligence have reportedly received credible intelligence of Russian plans

12:41to invade likely the Baltic States, but potentially even attack UK or Poland. Following on US intelligence reports that Putin now believes the US is weaker militarily than it's been really since Pearl Harbor I guess. And that's probably true. Certainly in terms of a comparative military strength between the US, certainly in terms of missiles and drones, hypersonic missiles, even nuclear missiles and firepower, Russian, China, they're alliance along with North Korean Iran is far exceeds our own in a lot of those categories. And so for the first time ever, I am assessing that Putin is seriously considering invading a NATO country, most likely Estonia and Latvia. And I think you can get away with it. Hmm. So what would that look like? What would that precipitate? Well, I think what we would see is first of all, we'd have to see a massing of Russian troops

13:46and Belarus. So I've been saying that Russia, you know, if they wanted to win the war, they should deploy a force of 200,000, perhaps even three or 50,000 troops to Belarus, that could be used to force Ukraine to move all its troops to defend the capital region and Kiev. And then all of Eastern Ukraine would essentially fall into Russian control. So it could be used as a faint. It could also be used to invade Kiev. But Baylor is also borders on Lithuania and Latvia. And so it could be used as a springboard. You know, they could kind of make a fade against Ukraine to get, you know, Zalensky to pull those troops out of the Donbass region. And then it invade NATO instead and you know, could invade Russian ethnic majority regions of Latvia. The eastern region of Latvia is actually 55% ethnic Russian. That region is about 22.5%

14:49of Latvia, I think it's called, like Goli. And then there's also a Russian majority region in Estonia, where the largest city of Narva is 87% Russian. I think it's the same thing for the second largest city in Latvia. And they could essentially what happened is Russian forces could likely take that territory in about 36 hours. And then Putin would just offer a ceasefire. And, 36 hours, there wouldn't be any chance of any NATO declaration of war essentially because all 32 member states would have to agree to go to work in Russia. And that's simply when it happened with a minimal incursion of NATO territory like that. Let's switch to President Trump. I mean, this war with Iran, it seems though, and there are people, and I had it in the World War Report tonight, that the goal is to take our military bases out, damage them greatly,

15:54make them unoccupiable, or create the military and political climate such that America leaves the region to a degree. Enough that, and also take us down with our munitions. I know Trump is out saying today, hey, we have enough munitions, but that seems to be his, again, with the strongest military in the world kind of talk, which I guess you have to do when you're the commander-in-chief. But I'm not sure that's reality when we see all that Russia and China are up to and North Korea. But this idea that you weaken us so much through a war with fighting Russia through Ukraine, now engaging Iran, munitions are down, we've damaged bases, the people have lost the political will for it, and America kind of withdraws. And that leaves Iran, but then not have to take on America and Israel, but they can just go after Israel by themselves, and then those two guys do get out.

16:55Is this what they've been doing, just wearing President Trump down militarily and politically? Yeah, it's absolutely what they've been doing. It's exactly what I predicted. When I first wrote on my real war sub-stack about the war on March 5th, I said this would be, this would prove to be a war that was unnecessary, but also a forever war. It would be a war in which invariably end with humiliating the US strategic defeat, that it would be a war of attrition with the fought with drones and missiles, in which I ran outclasses us in terms of quantity, and in terms of anti-ship missiles and quality as well. And I would say that most of my predictions have proven highly accurate. And obviously this has been a forever war. A Trump wisely attempted to end it with what I call a treaty of Versailles on June 17th, which is the 60-day cease-fire MOU, but he subsequently trashed that just days later. I think it was on the 26th, while he finally

18:01had the cease-fire with more strikes than I ran and then formally trashed on June 7th. And he's been trying to, both here in Iran, I've been trying to get back that MOU ever said, kind of off and on. Iran is, of course, asking for more than just the MOU. They're now asking for a full US military withdrawal from all military bases within 250 miles of Iran. And I think that would be in the US interests. I think that it's one thing to be allied with Israel. I think that's fine. But in terms of having all these US military bases, you know, 50,000 troops in the region, a lot of those troops and especially ships and air defenses need to be positioned in the Pacific to deter China. And as you kind of refer to, reports indicate that the US is now down about 50 to 80 percent of its pre-war missile stockpile, both offensive and defensive missile interceptors. And so we just don't have the missiles we need to

19:04to fight a war against Russia trying to let again, yet even, you know, let alone to ensure their aggression potentially gets NATO in the Baltics, so it gets, you know, from China, it gets Taiwan. Well, everyone I think knows we've got to remind them, you're the head of the EMP task force. You worked with our friend, the late Dr. Peter Vincent Prye, and took over leadership at his passing, which has it been five years just a few days ago? Or is it four? Yeah, so Peter died, I think, in August of 2022. He was a great and courageous leader, the founder of our task force in 2000. Yeah, he let us probably. And where's that right? Well, you've taken over there at the EMP task force, and yet I saw a story that came out the other day. Grid security redox, what executive order 14420 means for utilities, project developers,

20:05and the supply chain? Now you and I and Dr. Prye and others have been warning for so long about the Chinese components, Dr. Price, excuse me, warning about the Chinese components on our power grid and at the power substations. What took President Trump so long to sign this executive order? Well, it's really, you know, we have kind of these two terms, you know, President Trump was a stellar America first peace president during his first term, same thing or his first three months, and then he kind of veered into the Neocon realm with unnecessary wars in the Middle East, and, you know, of course, continuing to fight the war against Russian Ukraine, which is he rightly denounced his Biden's war and said he would end in the first 24 hours of his presidency. So I think that, you know, President Trump has kind of been seared in the wrong direction. We've seen a lot of, you know, the best most America first members of the Trump administration, Tulsi Gabbard, a lot of Vance folks, you know, Vice President's Vance

21:12Vances allies, Dan Driscoll, Secretary of the Army, Brandy George, Chief of Staff of the Army. There's just been a lot of really good realist voices, both in terms of military and political leadership that have been targeted for elimination, and we're seeing, we're just seeing the basically the Bush way of the party have a stealth take over of the Trump second term, and it's been a, you know, complete disaster for the US. He's, again, he's gone from one of the most brilliant foreign policy presidents to one of the very worst in just a matter of, I would say, 15 months. So it's hard to see where we go from here. You know, obviously, I've offered, you know, peace plans, but in terms of this executive order, you know, Trump began his second term, his first term, he had no, there were no Chinese transfer purchases, even before he wrote

22:14that executive order, Biden and Vita are rescinded it, and Trump had the opportunity, you know, on his day one of his presidency to reinstitute it, and I guess he just forgot to, or I know that he's might been much more accommodationist towards Xi Jinping and Beijing, and the second term that he was in his first, much less computational, as was shown it as stripped of Beijing, in which he didn't get a lot, but he was basically urging China to maybe, you know, start some take over some car companies or build some manufacturing plants in the US. So I think it's a great order. I think it's an outstanding first step for the US to protect or eradicates Chinese transformers, and you know, cyber attacks and from Russia and China and Iran, but I think it's a step that's been taken much too late, and just during his the last 18 months, we've seen the number of Chinese

23:16transformers increase from about 496 or so to about 815 today. So there's a lot of damage that's been done. Talked in about where we're at with cyber hacking. How concerned are you with Iran or Russia, because it looks like Russia is now helping Iran with some of their missiles and whatnot. How concerned are you that Russia and or Iran would carry out a cyber attack on our critical infrastructure as we do more they threaten and then all of a sudden we do have a cyber attack because you and I both know that Dr. Pry in this studio from this desk in 2018 was warning about the Vostok 18 military exercise between Russia and China and then later I ran joined in on some of those exercises, but they had operation drag and fly before that, which is Russia and China hacking into the grid. If Russia is and China are working with Iran, they're all working together,

24:20maybe Iran on their own, what is your concern? One of these three or all three would could be involved in saying you damage us, you hit our power grid, you hit our power substations, you hit our infrastructure, we're coming after years of America, we're going beyond your military bases, we're going to the homeland. I mean, if you want to create a political nightmare for President Trump, put the grid down for a few weeks and can you imagine what would happen in this country? Yeah, the absolute chaos, you know, began warfare, people would kill each other for the last scraps of food and water because it would shut down not just our power or it would shoot shut down our food transportation, water distribution, water purification networks. And so people would without food and water, you know, there would be lawlessness, there would be no emergency services, you know, in terms of police, obviously, the cars wouldn't work, the trucks wouldn't work, the ambulances wouldn't work. Now that's if there's EMP, but what if there's just a cyber attack?

25:22Yeah, I should clarify that. Yeah, with cyber, the cars all work, but they run out of gas because the gas pumps don't work. There might be gas in there that you could kind of funnel out, but it would make the Carter gas crisis of 1979 look like a joke because we just couldn't pump gas. And there was actually, I think it was a Russian attack that actually affected 14 different states a few years ago just before the U. Great War in which gas stations in 14 different states were attacked by Russian hackers and, you know, weren't able to pump gas for, I don't know, 24 or 48 hours. So we know that Russia is the premier cyber power in the world. That's probably followed by China, then the US at third, North Korea is the fourth ISS that Iran is the fifth in terms of China. I think the very first 24 hours, you know, within 24 hours of major combat

26:26operations against China in the Pacific in a time one invasion scenario, I would assess that China would, you know, launch a cyber first strike and a counter space first strike to take out all of our early reporting and GPS satellites, taking out communications or command and control, maybe even our nuclear C3 potentially, but certainly the grid and again, all of our food and water distribution networks. And Russia would as well, if we weren't too, for example, they were to invade Estonia and Latvia and we were to bomb Moscow with missiles, you know, shoot Tom Hux at missiles from a native territory or something along that lines, you know, Russia would undoubtedly respond by taking down all of our critical infrastructure, just not just in the US, but in Europe as well. And that would essentially, you know, destroy, effectively destroy all of Western civilization. So the question is, you know, are the Baltics, you know, 6,000 square miles or 7,000 square miles worth of Baltic territory under Russian

27:31occupation? Is that enough for us to risk the deaths of 260 million Americans? Is the Donbass region of, you know, of Ukraine that we're helping, you know, Ukraine to defend or take back? Is that worth the deaths of 260 million when that amount of territory is about the same size as Slovenia? I don't think so. I think that there needs to be a major reassessment of US foreign policy. And Iran does, you know, they were, there were three countries mentioned by the head of US Cyber Command several years ago that had the capability to take down all of our critical infrastructure and satellites. Russia and China were specifically identified. I think North Korea was not mentioned, but that that was the third country being referenced. But Iran also has a very substantial capability as well. And in my opinion, they likely do have the ability to bring down the grid for many weeks, probably several months at the least. Several months at the least. Finally,

28:36was they also have two super-EPS satellites, the North two and North three that are according to all the internet sources that are still operational that can take out all of our critical infrastructure and destroy the US with them. And those two satellites, that's North Korea you're speaking of? No, that's Iran. That's Iran. And then you had the two satellites by North Korea. The Dr. Prah used always talk about. That's right. North Korea deployed satellites at the end of 2010s and in 2023 and 24. I ran into the same pain effect. Peter Prah warned one of his last warnings was that the North two had been launched into 2022 and then North Korea in 2003. That's four satellites. Four satellites between North Korea and Iran with EMP payloads. That we believe are likely yes, that likely have some green MP payloads. And then finally, how concerned are you? We are here about all these data centers and the draw

29:40they're pulling on the grid. Well, I think it's really risky. I mean, I just had a call to customer service line and it was amazing how realistic the AI voice was. I mean, if they hadn't identified themselves as AI, I would have assumed they're real. But yeah, the big issue is we don't have a lot of margin. We do, you know, I attended an EMP conference back in February of 2025 in New York with the leaders of other EMP type organizations, security grid coalition. And we discuss that there is kind of a declining margin where the US produces just enough power and a little bit beyond that to sustain the grid. But if we keep losing coal plants, we keep we don't have nuclear power keeping up. We're just not building the infrastructure we need. And then we have all of these AI data centers that are sapping our power. It's just going to make it

30:42more likely that the grid crashes in response to relatively moderate impact events, not even necessarily a parenting event where there's a super solar storm that takes up the entire grid perhaps globally or perhaps just have to globe or even a super EMP attack. So we need to, if we're going to have these the identity data centers, I mean, that's fine. And I certainly understand the need for that to keep up with China in particular. But we really need to be building a surge capacity for, you know, for our power, ideally nuclear power, but also a clean, clean, clean, coal burning plants as well. And keep up. We're also going to be facing a disaster situation as my hopestead California has experienced a blast few years. Yeah, indeed. Here's the latest again. We talked about it. You can read it yourself at dping.substack.com. Trump dispatches CI director Ratcliffe on urgent mission to Moscow to

31:45warn Russian not to attack NATO. David, great to have you back. Great to have this conversation with you. Look forward to having you back again soon. Thanks for having a good work to it. David Pine checking in dping.substack.com to read this latest article among others. All right, we'll be right back after the short break. The case of freeze dried food will outlast almost everything else in your basement. And every pouch in it needs one thing boiling water. If the power is out and the gas is off, what are you boiling it on? This is the Titan. It burns sticks and twigs off the ground behind your house. No propane and no canisters. Nothing to store and nothing to run out of. Air comes in the bottom, heats between the walls and burns again on the way out. Hotter fire and less smoke. Stainless steel, eight inches tall, a pound in your hand. It burns wood so it stays outside on dirt or stone and never left alone. Hot water for the food

32:53you already put away. The Titan Solo Stove at worldviewstore.com. Joining me now is Dr. Lana. Dr. Lana, welcome back. Thanks for being with us. Always a pleasure. I want to talk to you about a few things today real quickly, please. So for the last six months or more, I have really struggled with vertigo, with dizziness, waking up in the middle of the night out of a sleep, feeling like I was going to pass out, literally saying to Melissa, I feel like I'm going to pass out. And my body would awaken me. And this was going on for months. I've talked about it in the past with Dr. Bashima, who's we're going to get back on. Well, guess what? I had my blood tested, as you know, my triglycerides were a little high. So I'm off. I was all fall sugar for the most part anyway.

33:53But then I got off all carbohydrates or any fruits that create sugar. And I'm only on the berries, the blueberries, the strawberries. I'm having a lot of corn, which is I guess, what do you call that fiber? So that it slops up the glucose as I'm reading a lot of homework on this. And Melissa's got me on a very strict diet. And no butter and all this other stuff. So anyway, I'm walking two and a half miles in the morning on a treadmill, two and a half miles at night. And I am now five pounds lighter than I was. I'm at 167. I'm trying to get to one, maybe 160. We'll see. But guess what? Stop no more dizziness. No more waking up in the night feeling like I'm dizzying going to pass out. No more head rushing like, are no more jittering all jittery. I'm sure most

34:54of the people in the audience knows what that's like. You get all jittery feeling. So you go grab a soda or some orange juice or some spryte or something candy bar, right? And you bring yourself back up before you crash again later. And it's just a cycle. That is all stop. That is all stop. No jittery, no dizzy, no feeling like you're going to pass out. Just even Steven. What do you make of all that? Well, what you are doing first of all, I'm glad you're feeling better. Number one, we're all glad about that, Brandon. So that's first. And what you are doing is cleaning up your cell membranes. If you want to get nitty gritty and I'll keep a symbol for everyone, you are cleaning up your cell membranes. And I'll tell you, you won't you'll get excited about this. You don't even have to be that strict with fruit. It is just all foods, less that your smart wife is right about the butter

35:59and the added fat and processed foods because there's so much so many chemicals in processed food. And there's so many things now that cross our blood brain barrier. You know, that's by design, whether we're taking over the counter medications, whether we've got forever chemicals, in our cookware and in our food, whether we're talking about glyphosate, spray on food. This is pervasive. This toxic load is pervasive. And depending on where you live, you may have 5G, you know, towers around. You may have more pollution around. You may have more agriculture around. You may have more stress in your life around good stress, bad stress. And all of that damages the cell membrane, especially processed high fat food and toxins. And when you damage or misshapen or clog those cell membranes, your toxins cannot get out of the cell. Your glucose, the nutrients to

37:08make energy cannot get in your cell. And your hormones cannot get in and out of your cell. And that is why you when I talk about all the time, the gattatana, God's nutrition, and the glue to thigh on. And if you do nothing else, food does matter, as you can see. But you're getting nutrition with the gattatana inside your cells. And you're getting that glue to thigh on inside your cells to protect your mitochondrial DNA. But you've got to do things in your life to open up those cell membranes and get them unclogged, kind of get the, if somebody clogged or glued shut your front door lock, you couldn't get in your front door. That's what's happening with the toxins, the stress, the agricultural pollution, air pollution, and the processed food. Well, there you go. So you're not shocked by my testimonies, what you're saying.

38:11Not at all. I am trained. And you know, one of the first things I do, we never make health claims here. But I'm trained to reverse chronic degenerative disease. And most of them are reversible. And when you talk about high cholesterol, high triglycerides, blood sugar, glucose issues, you've got to just do a couple of things. You don't need to do a lot. You've got it. We absolutely need additional supplementation in this world. Glutathione, got a tan of absolutely without a doubt, because our toxic load, it's pervasive now. And the other piece is the food. And you did it, Brandon, and you're doing it. And I want to make a point is you don't have to do, you know, secretary, Kennedy, RFK, Jr. You don't know, no, no, no, no, we're not talking about his diet. Just eat meat and sourcrout, okay? We appreciate the secretary, Kennedy and Maha and getting the country healthy and getting all those chemicals out of our foods. Oh, yes, we appreciate that.

39:13But you can't eat too much animal protein either. That blocks the cells as well. So you can have your chicken and your fish and all that, but just not, you know, three times a day and every day. But what you're doing, you can have, you know, peaches and apples and apples. Putting all of theirs. I love peaches. I love apples. But I'm avoiding all of that for right now, because I don't want anything that's going to turn into sugar. So I'm sticking with the blueberries, the strawberries. That's about it. And I'm going other than that, lots of leafy stuff, you know, cucumbers, that kind of thing. And I'm really trying to get that get down to that 160 mark. I haven't been there in years. I, you know, the first five pounds, frankly, have been the easiest. Now I'm feeling it harder to go any further. Is that common? It is. And I'll share with you about about the plateau, because you're constantly, and we're not, you know, talked about this in doctor's offices, right? You constantly need to think about,

40:15I need to clean up my blood vessels and clean up my cell membranes. And guess what? Gut health, my friends, gut health, gut health, gut health. What do I mean? How can I help you here? You need to understand. And I know you all believe this, that 70% of your immune system is in your gut. You have a nervous system in your gut. So if you have, and Brandon, you showed the symptoms, if you have bacteria in your gut, you have good bacteria, bad bacteria, you have to have more good bacteria than bad bacteria. Okay. And if some of that bacteria starts to move from the base of your GI tract, where it's supposed to be, you know, when you're colon, for men, you know, taking care, you know, all the bad things and protecting your bloodstream, basically, from things seeping out of your gut, getting into your bloodstream. So that bacteria needs to be in a certain

41:17place in your GI tract. So that bacteria has moved up to your upper GI tract. You will have symptoms. Very few people are talking about this. And those symptoms are you may get irritable, you may get, and I'm not saying you did, Brandon, but you may get like short tempered or you may get like agitated or like you said, you woke up and you're like, oh my gosh, I'm like jittery, jittery. That is a symptom of that bacteria has moved up higher in your GI tract and living where it's not supposed to live. And it formends the food and that upper GI tract and it kills off your good bacteria. And it chips away at the lining of your GI tract and it allows undigested food particles to get in your bloodstream. Your body mounts an immune response and says, Houston, we have a problem, attack, attack, attack. And your body starts attacking itself and then you end up with an auto

42:17immune disease. Fruit toast is the huge issue. That's why I know a lot of people stop the fruit for a while. But that's why I tell people, never have fruit juice, don't drink fruit juice. The net shell is you must protect your cell membranes, your blood vessels and your gut bacteria. The gated tanna, brana, we're not making this up. The gated tanna goes in and feeds your good gut bacteria and helps keep the gut bacteria where it's supposed to be. And it's getting food inside your cells, no matter if they're damaged or not. And the glutathione goes into your cells, whether your cells are damaged or not. And it protects your DNA so your cells can't mutate. And if you do what Brandon did, you don't have to do a strict, but if you start eating whole foods, take your gated tanna every day. Your gated tanna balances blood sugar, not making a claim, but these nutrients go in and help balance blood sugar. They help with your appetite and they feed

43:21your good gut bacteria. So your gut bacteria stays balanced in that bad bacteria. And that bacteria doesn't travel to the upper part of your GI tract and cause you symptoms. You get fatigued, you wake up in the middle of the night, you can't sleep and you get agitated and fidgety. That is because you've got bacteria moving out of that upper GI tract. All right. Now let's talk about how do you go on to keep moving? The first five pounds are easily pretty easy for it. It was pretty easy. Next, we're kind of stuck right now. I'm guessing I'm going to have to start adding some some, while I'm doing all that, the gated tanna, new meaning doing all that. But I'm guessing I'm going to have to start adding some weights. My point, right, right. And I want to get into that. So my point is when you, and this is not a short term fix, your gut starts to heal. Your cell membrane starts to heal and the weight will start to come off. It is a consistent thing. And lifting weights and intermittent fasting

44:28is very, very helpful. Lifting weights and going 14 hours, really simple. 14 hours without one calorie. I mean without a breath mint, a bite of a banana, a bite of a berry, nothing. 14 hours with no calories. That really gets your body into fat-learning, burning mode after the 12-hour. So if you stop eating at 8 pm at night, don't have one calorie till 10 am. Have black coffee, black tea with stevia in it or something like that. Just to get you through, drink a lot of water. When you get up in the morning, then have your hot coffee or tea. Maybe with some stevia and if you want it sweeter, and then at 10 am, have breakfast, but do a 14-hour window of not one calorie. As soon as you start to eat calories the next morning, you break your fast and you stop your fat-burning machine in your body. And yes, lift weights. Absolutely. Muscle burns more fat than weights. So the 14-hour

45:33window and weight lifting can help. Isn't that something? All right. What else you want to hit this week? Well, I want to share with you something of those of you that got the gout of Tanna. I'm going to share with you and Dave was so generous and he only did it for Brandon and your audience. I want to share with you something that you may not know. This is why you want to take it every single day. No matter your age. The nutrients in here are needed for very specific things. A lot of people ask me, what about type 2 diabetes, Dr. Llaner, like what about high glucose? What about high cholesterol? What about whatever heart disease or any disease? What about hormone problems and high stress and emotional issues? Your body needs specific vitamins and minerals. Okay. And most people think, well, I'm going to go to the store and I'm going to get some vitamin C and vitamin E and some chromium and whatever. Number one, it's far more expensive to do that. Number two, which ones do you get? Number

46:35three, what's the quality of those vitamins and minerals that you're buying? And number four, most of those vitamins and minerals aren't even getting inside your cell. And I'm going to give you an example with blood sugar. Do you know a hundred and nineteen million Americans have a blood sugar issue? Some people don't even know it. And if you have a blood sugar issue, that can lead to kidney failure, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, headaches, migraine, even a heart attack. So what do you need to balance your blood sugar? It helps with your appetite as well, meaning press your appetite, you feel fuller and your calmer. What do you need? You need chromium, you need the nadium, you need magnesium, you need omega-3 fatty acids, you need zinc, vitamin C and vitamin D. I'll say that again, you need chromium, the nadium, omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, zinc, vitamin C and vitamin D. You're saying, well, what in the heck, Dr. Lanna,

47:38like where do I go buy all that stuff and how much do I take and it's going to cost a lot of money? You don't have to worry about it. Everything I just said to balance your blood sugar naturally from God is in here, isn't it a scoop? The nadium, the chromium, though omega-3 fatty acids, everything. Do you know that you need boron, ladies and gentlemen, to balance your emotions, to keep you calmer, to help with those hormones? You need boron. Where are you going to get it? You're going to go buy it somewhere, what kind do you buy? How much do you take? You don't have to worry because the boron's in here. You need trip to fan to make protein. Where are you going to get that? Yes, you'd have to eat a lot of eggs, a lot of meat, a lot of things that are damaging your blood shell, blood vessels, and that are causing some of the symptoms that Brandon had. Don't worry because all of that is in here. The trip to the trip, I can't even say it anymore. The trip to fan, my friends, are in here. Everything that you need for those diseases that

48:41you're concerned about, for losing weight, for headaches, migraines, type two diabetes, even type one diabetes, pre-diabetes. We're not saying this reverses it. We're saying those symptoms, diseases, and conditions need specific vitamins and minerals, and they're all in here in one scoop. That easy. MelissaHouseGPA.com, MelissaHouseGPA.com. One other thing I want to mention, though, and I literally just took some while ago, I take five in the morning, five at night, MelissaProtene.com. I have to tell you this is helping me a lot. This is really helping to curb my appetite big time, as well as burning fat. And here's the thing, even though I've lost the five pounds, Melissa says, hey, you actually look more muscular. I don't always wear a suit, so my wife sees me around the house and what do you call tank top? What do you call those things, Logan? Like a tank top? T-shirt, tank top. Well, I don't wear T-shirt. It's a

49:45wear tank top. Tank top. It's hot here. It's like 98, 101. So if you're going to work out in the yard, you're going to probably wear something with not a lot, right? So it's one of those tank top things you wear. Like you go where when you went to the beach or something. So anyway, so she's able to see my shoulders, she's able to see my biceps, and she was, I was out the other day working in the backyard. And she said, you're actually more muscular now. Not that you weren't because I've fortunate to have my father and grandfather's DNA and in our family, the guys, it's genetics. We we look like we work out when we don't. It's just we're very fortunate that my my daughter has the same same the same build. But she said you're looking even more muscular. So I'm like, well, I'm not doing anything. I've lost weight. But all I can contribute to is the proteins are actually helping me to build muscle mats, true or false? True. My secret weapon for years, everybody. This is protein that

50:46gets near muscles in 23 minutes. That does not damage your kidneys. That does not damage your blood vessels like too much animal protein to do. Here's my secret. And I'll tell you what, you want to suppress your appetite and stay healthy and and get through that intermittent fasting or maybe you don't eat breakfast and you don't eat till late afternoon. It's okay. It's actually good for you. I take five super aminos and a scoop of gouda tanna every single morning. I do drink my water. I love my organic coffee. And I take another five super aminos late afternoon. And you will this is such a magic combination. Everyone, I can't even begin to tell you. And this is in the Physicians Desk Reference since 2006 medical doctors around the country were suggesting the super aminos. I take 10 a day, five in the morning with my gouda tanna scoop and I take five in the afternoon. And you're absolutely right. You'll start to notice your stomach's flatter. It helps your skin.

51:48It it tightens your skin and it gets that protein in your muscles in 23 minutes. It's great if you work out. It's great if you have athletes in your family too. It's fantastic and it's safe. It's safe protein. This is a power punch and it's really good for your grad helps you. Well, there you go.

Three volumes now on preorder at worldviewstore.com. Joining me now is Melissa Kare. You, she's been a guest here before, but she's a minisodan from Minnesota. And she did something I'm very envious about. And that is she went to the great Minnesota get together. Now I am not from Minnesota. I was probably born here in the south. Jackson, Mississippi, part of the Mid-South live now outside of Memphis. I love my southern roots,

54:55but I did enjoy, I did enjoy to a degree. I did enjoy living up there for many years. My father was with was at the time with the US government. Got us transferred up there from Washington, from Jackson to Washington, DC to Minneapolis. And then after, thankfully, I bet my wife also named Melissa up there at Northwestern Bible College. And then we decided 22 years ago, we saw the handwriting on the wall. We saw the handwriting on the wall up there, guys. And we got out. Some of you have done the same. Others have not yet. But with all that being said, I still have a soft spot for that state and some of the wonderful people that live there, even though their politics has gone nuts and has become a bastion for Islam. However, I said to my wife the other day, when I saw the news about the great Minnesota get together, I said, man, I just have such fond memories of you and I going together to the Minnesota State Fair. No, I've been going there to the Minnesota State Fair since junior high and high school. But when my wife and I got married in February of 1991, we were living a few miles,

56:01just a few miles from the fairgrounds. And there are times during that two week period, we would go three to five times to the State Fair at night. You could go in the late afternoon and, and, and, Mount Bava Clockroader was and pay half price and it was cooler. And we would take, you know, some friends with us and we just had a blast. And we have such fond memories of the Minnesota State Fair. Now, we stayed off the midway where all the rides are and that was a little more rough then. But if you stayed in the nice parts of the fairgrounds, which was the bulk of the fairgrounds, it was amazing. And the cattle barn and all the stuff they have was in the food, the sweet Martha's chocolate chip cookies, the mini donuts, oh my. And they had a huge, huge stadium and Alabama, the country group Alabama would come there and sing and do concerts and all kinds of big names. It was a big time for two weeks in Minnesota right outside of St. Paul. I actually

57:04can't almost between St. Paul Minneapolis. It was right there on the border of of Roseville, Minnesota, a smelling avenue. So I called up my Minnesota boyfriend, Melissa Horace and hey, Melissa, would you, would you entertain going to the Minnesota State Fair and filming for us and being a reporter to show people what the second largest state fair in the country is like next to Texas? She said, well, I was just there the other night. Oh, I don't want to make you go back. Oh no, it's a great excuse to go back. So we sent her a little money. We sent her a little money and said, spend some money there. Have a good time film it so we can all get the experience. I actually said to my wife the other day, I don't want to do it. But part of me says, let's take off a few days, pack the car, drive to the Twin Cities and see the mother, my mom and dad and take in the Minnesota State Fair. It would be fun. But I knew that's not feasible with all we have going on. So I'm going to live the Minnesota State Fair for 2026 through Melissa Horace.

58:05She joins us now. Melissa, welcome to the broadcast. Thanks for being with us. Hey Brandon, it's wonderful to be with you. It's been a while. It's such a divine appointment that you contacted me. I saw my phone blanking Brandon House. I thought, what could this be? One of the opportunities, usually, we're being known for bad things, as you mentioned, Islamic take over the politics. To be able to share with you something I'm actually proud of about this state was I couldn't wait to do it. So thanks. Well, thank you for doing this. Now, the State Fair, it is so much fun. Now we would get into the gate there off-snelling avenue. And we would first stop had to be mini donuts. Had to get mini donuts right away. And then you had to walk a little bit, burn some calories and make it to sweet Martha's. Folks, I don't know if you have anything like this, but it is fun. I'll tell you that. And then we got to go to the barn and see what's going on over there with the livestock. And I think we're about to see the biggest, what, what is this sour biggest? His name is Walter. He's a boy. He's a big boy. He's a big

59:11boy. All right, Logan, which one you want to start with? I'm looking through them. They're not, I don't have a label, but this one is the first one I got if you want to go to it. All right, let's go. Here's Melissa Hoerey, the Minnesota State Fair. Last night reporting for us. Watch this. Hey, Brandon. We're here at the Minnesota State Fair. Minnesota is called this the 10 best days of summer. And it's going through Labor Day. And we're starting off in the miracle life. You got to come see the animals. Later on, we'll get food. But I want to show you some things first. I want to show you this cute little baby land. Right here. There's animals that you can pet. There's hands on activity here. Sorry, I don't think you take muds. All right, so, but what people really come here for is to see the miracle of life, right? And some pigs? A pig. That's just given birth. Not too long ago. So we're going to head over to the pig.

1:00:21Their massive animals, aren't they? There's something very interesting about the smell of a large but the piglets are very, very, very cute. And you can see them. Oh, there's one in that bucket. Pat people. So it's kind of nice to be able to move around here and see everything. There's a cow. These are massive animals. When you see them on the close, you really get up. You get a little effect of how big they really are. Beautiful dairy cattle right there. Some of Minnesota's finest. So this is our first stop and we're going to get the midwell. We're not going to go to the midway. There's too much rip wrap there. But we'll see you at the end. Yeah, there's too much rip wrap.

1:01:22We would spend hours in the barn. Hours in the barn because I love those farm animals. So does Melissa. And they have so many big fans that if it was hot out, you would hang out in the barn. If nothing else to stand in front of the big fans. Now what was really fun is there are a lot of young kids. I'm nice to say young kids. I mean, eight, nine, 10 year old and then in the teenagers coming there from all over the state to show off in Minnesota, by the way, for most folks a bit. Maybe don't know. Minnesota is a very rural state outside of the major cities like St. Paul, Rochester, Minnesota, that's south of the Twin Cities by 90 minutes or Duluth, which is north of the Twin Cities by about what is it? Three hours. Two and a half. Yeah. So aside from Duluth, the Twin Cities and Rochester, Minnesota is a very rural state and many of the people are very red. Very conservative. Yes. And a lot of them are farming families and they're part of the 4H

1:02:23and other things. And they come there to the big city from the rural communities and they stay for many days and display and compete in all kinds of competitions with their cow or pigs or whatever they've got. And we just really enjoyed visiting with a lot of those young kids. Usually the mom and dad were sitting in a chair nearby and they're sitting by their animals. Some of them of course had their horses and they've been riding and showing those. So those kids were a lot of fun and those kids used to get so bored sometimes waiting for the next show that they would they would rig up little tricks to play on the fair goers. And you would walk down the you walk down the inside of the barn of the one of the animal areas and you would see a $5 bill on the ground. Now I never fell for it but I watched other people fall for it. You know where I'm going, don't you? Yeah. You get bored as a country kid. You need something. They're not on their

1:03:23screens all all the time. You would see a $5 bill on the ground and some of them would reach over to pick it up. And just as I got done close to getting it, that $5 bill would go through and shoot across the floor. And it was attached to a fishing line run up to one of the barn rafters and they would pull that thing and it would take off. And then everybody would laugh and have a great blast of fun. That was we just had we loved hanging out with those kids and going from you know, station to station talking to them about what their animal, what they did. Some of them already had their yellow or their blue first prize ribbon. It's just a lot. We love the barns. We love the barns. So there you go. You got pigs. Now I don't know if you got the one Logan. I've I'm not seeing all these but I did see one she sent last night. The the bore. His name is Walter. They're kind of I think they're kind of in order if they came through the way I just I think they they should be this next one should be Walter the bore. Usually he's laying there, you know, not really doing much, but he was standing up eating when we walked in. So we have the

1:04:28opportunity to see him. He was moving around. Shocker. Walter was eating. That's a shock. How much did Walter weigh? I think it was 13. I say it in the video. It was either 1300 or 1500 somewhere around there. Oh wow. All right. Here's Walter. I'm Melissa Hurray for World Youth 2. So, probably it's not too of our trip to the Minnesota State Fair. I have a special treat for you. Guess what? Walter the bore is standing up and we need to soak in it. This bore is a big hole. I'm going to give you people what they want to show you. The things are there's an oil booth over there. There's a lot of interesting facts about the oil cakes and the planet. It's all right here but we're not allowed to eat walter to it. That's a lot of bacon right there.

1:05:29I'm saying let's hurry up. We'll see you at the next stop. Okay, walters only four years old. He's already 1300 and some odd pounds. Yeah, he's they're feeding him well. I don't know what what's walters futures like but he maybe might be a little nervous about that. Well, he should be. I think he's going to end up becoming a bacon and a stick and a ham sandwich. I would have our time being a farmer because I'm too much of a I love the animals too much. I would name them like walter there and then I would feel really bad. I'd have a very tough time with it. My wife's niece, what did she raise Logan? What was it she raised about a year ago? What was that she raised? What were the two piglets they had? I don't know, is that what she raised? Do I know the twins? No, the great niece. I don't even know what she raised.

1:06:30Jenna's daughter, she raised something and one first prize and was offered $600 for her animal. Oh, I don't remember that. Was that a little pig or was that a I don't know was she? Text your mother and ask her please. So we'll we'll we'll we'll we'll we'll find out what kind of animal it was. I was showing a picture of it so I can't believe I can't remember. She refused the $600 because she found out what was going to happen to it. So I don't know somehow I think they gave it to somebody for free that agreed to make it a pet. But I would be like her I'd be like, oh no, this is too difficult. So Walther Walther would be safe if he were with me. Yeah, my husband grew up on a small farm and he talked about that how they would get to know the cows. They were their friends. They would name them and then one day you know what happened to my my friend Bosse the cow. And he just disappeared. So yeah, it was hard on a kid having to go through that. Yep, it is, but that's the circle of life and that's being a farmer in a rancher. All right, so we're a little concerned about Walther. We think right now he's on display everybody's last life.

1:07:33Everybody's having a good time at Walther's expense. It seems like all right here, but he's having a great life while it lasts. All right, here's the next one. All right. Hi, this is Melissa Hoerey for World YouTube. I have to show you the scrowed behind me. We're here a little bit later in the evening, so it's windowed down a little bit, but you know how massive this ferrets. And I know you wanted to give your viewers a taste of what it's like. You can see behind me massive sea of bodies back there. This is a record-breaking ferrets, the largest ferret in the country population or attendance wise. You can see 200,000 people going through here every single day. I mean, it's got to be up in a couple of millions, right? A couple of million people through the whole course of the ferret. That's mind-boggling. The only ferret that's a little bigger is Texas and that's sea area wise, but this ferret is based on the love of people, the love of the food, the drinks, the atmosphere.

1:08:39It's fun. You look forward to it every year. You know, there's a lot in Minnesota. We don't like so much the politics. You know, we won't go there, but if you just want to have fun, come to the great Minnesota sweat together. And it's not too hard right now. The weather is perfect. It's going to be a great risk for the ferret. Look at that sea of people. I hear you guys. It was like 200,000 in one day came through. Yeah, every day. I tried to capture it, Brandon. You know, it was hard because it was a little darker, but you see this sea of bodies. It's and everyone is crammed together, healed at all. It's, it's much worse than, you know, worse in the sense of you're not going to move around very fast. So I'm glad we didn't do it live. It would have been hard to go from one location to the next slide. Yeah. We were going to try to do it live and do some hits, but I said, I think you're going to be able to move a lot faster if I just let you go. And then we'll have her on and she can talk about it as we're doing now. Logan, you probably don't remember us taking you to the fair, do you?

1:09:42I do not. Yeah. I'm a little bit. You like to come back. Yeah. I bet you're a little shocked that I would actually like to go to that as much as I hate crowds. Yeah, I kind of am actually. Yeah, I would bet you are shocked, but I don't think you've ever been to the Delta fair. No, I'm not going to the Delta fair. It's very redneck. What special about this one is it? He think ours is. Well, yours is looking at some of the people are looking pretty rough. I must tell you some of these people on there looking pretty rough. I had no ideas. There's also a little more dangerous. I bet it did look a little more dangerous. No, the Delta fair. Oh, the Delta fair would definitely be more dangerous would definitely be more dangerous. I think they even had a shootout over at the on the at the Minnesota fair at the. They did. That was a round on the midway. Yeah, which we always avoided back in the 80s and 90s back in the 80s and 90s. We knew what the midway. But I must say the crowd is looking a little more rough than it did when I was when I was

1:10:43going there in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. But that's the whole country. They don't look so good down here anymore. 22 years ago, and I made it back here. People dressed nicer. The folks dressed pretty sharp, particularly in our area golf shirts, button downs, you know, the khaki shorts. They all dressed like little preppy guys, the young high school college kids, the ladies, you know, all dressed super nice. I don't know since COVID that all kind of went out the window. Now sloppy is fashionable. I don't get it. But yeah, it's looking a little rough. So when I was watching that, I thought I bet you're low going to be shocked. I actually enjoyed going there. No, it did irritate me, but I overlooked it long enough to go and enjoy it, which is why I went at night because it was cooler weather and not quite as crowded. And the later it went, the more dispersed the crowds got. So it was not so bad. But yeah. You sent me at the perfect time. Thank you. It wasn't like to go prime time and it's so crowded, I can't handle it.

1:11:45And I don't know Logan. I thought I'd sent myself a bunch of emails of the Minnesota State Fair. Maybe you can help me find some in my email. But I sent myself some to show the size of the crowd because that video that she just gave us is good, but it doesn't do justice to how many people are crammed into a small space like that. I mean, so I can find one. Minnesota State Fair. I might have a couple too if you need me. Browd. All right, while I'm finding that, let's go to her next video. And then I'm going to show you guys a picture because they are crammed in there this year. Oh, here it is. This was a record-setting year, right? Yeah, yeah, every year it gets bigger. Oh, yeah, I think that's one that I sent you. That one's on my answer. Is it that crazy? Yeah, that's a good one to show what it's like. Uh-huh. Yep. All right, let's go to the next one.

1:12:49That's a pretty good footwork. Now I don't think they were doing. That was a freebie. That's a freebie. I don't think they were doing the whole Mexican music thing when I was up there. Well, I just wanted to illustrate. You mentioned the grandstand shows in Alabama. You know, every night there's a huge grandstand show. There's also free entertainment. And that's what you were seeing there. I think it was a Native American. It was pretty good, though. I thought I wonder if I can shuffle dance to this. Native American, that's what it meant, like Mexican music. Yeah, you know, I could be wrong. I don't know. They had a bunch of Native goods like they had a booth where you could buy things and that led me to believe it was something to do with Native culture, but I could be wrong. Okay. Um, let's see. That was just a short one. Who was at the, who was at the, the stadium this year? Not Alabama's not even a group anymore. So who's, who was at the stadium? Tomorrow night Brad Paisley is there.

1:13:50We saw Weird Al Yankovic. That was last Friday. And then they had Rod Stewart and Richard Marx. They canceled. I think Rod Stewart is sick. Uh, then they had some other kind of 80s marginal 90s. Richard Marx canceled people. Well, Rod Stewart was on tour with him. And I think Rod Stewart canceled his tour. Okay. So, but other than that, they've had fairly decent shows. It isn't like the 80s and 90s. As you said, they have a whole wall at the grandstand of all the people who have been there, you know, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parker. Oh, they have a huge huge huge huge. And the great thing about that is you could get a bag of mini donuts, get some sweet marathas, get a nice chocolate milkshake or vanilla milkshake, whatever you wanted. And you could actually enjoy the concert without paying for it because the, I mean, you could hear it standing right outside the stadium on the street. I mean, you could, you could take in Alabama. And actually the sound was better. I think the sound was better outside the stadium than in. It was too loud in the stadium outside the stadium.

1:14:51The sound was just perfect. By the way, speaking of things aren't what they used to be. I just found this Fox 9 Ramsey County files lawsuit to block two gangs from Minnesota state fair. Yeah. It is. Yeah. It was so nonsensical. I mean, they said they talked to these gangs and said, hey guys, it's really not to call me. Yeah. We won't be there. How are you going to vet them? Are they going to be checking, checking for IDs at the gates? It was just really ridiculous. So every time I go there, I expect that something might break out or you mentioned the shooting that was a couple of years ago. We had just left the midway and maybe a half an hour later, there was this incident with shots fired. We were in the parking lot trying to get out. It took us an hour to get out of the parking lot. So you never know what might happen. Yeah. Yeah, things, everything has changed everywhere. And that's really sad because the things that we all used to enjoy, a lot of them aren't quite as enjoyable because of the potential threat level. But let's try to stay positive.

1:15:52We're trying to do a nice piece for you guys tonight. Let's go to the next one. Here we go. I'm Melissa Hoere for World YouTube. We're here at the Minnesota State Fair at our next stop. This fair is massive. Let's see how there are a few days you can't possibly see everything there is to see and do. So I'm showing you some of the best attractions. When you come to the fair, there's a couple things that you absolutely cannot miss. Number one, a little famous cheese curds. You absolutely must get the cheese curds when you're at the fair. Number two is the giant slide. This is the OG of the Minnesota State Fair. It's a pretty deep five 170 feet long and 200,000 people ride down this slide every year. And it's one of the best ones. One of the most fun. It makes people like to get it again for your parents for a while. I will see you at the next one. All right, can you go back to the end of that Logan? Two things I want to point out. That slide stays there year round, doesn't it?

1:16:52They don't take it apart. Stays are year round, right? I don't know there would be a quiz, but my husband told me all the facts. And I was trying to remember them. You can see I'm concentrating 50 feet high, 170. I don't know if they leave it there. I don't think they do. They don't, okay, maybe they take it on the road. I don't know. Notice the fans though, not the fans is in yay, fans is in circular fans. They're trying to keep the guys that are picking up the mats. What do you call those things? I don't know what they're writing on. You used to be. Magic carpets. Magic carpets, right? They used to write on like potato sacks or something. So they're trying to keep those kids cool who are volunteering. Now in the state of Minnesota for a long time, it was state law. You could not start school after Labor Day because of the fact that so many kids were working at the Minnesota State Fair. Yeah. That's changing. So you couldn't start school before Labor Day. And I remember many a time going to the State Fair on Labor Day.

1:17:54That Monday it closes. It would close at midnight on Labor Day or not a clock on whatever it is. It stays open on midnight, at least it did. I think maybe on Labor Day, Monday night it closes at nine or something or earlier. But we would all run high school, run back to the Minnesota State Fair that Monday and have one last for raw before school started the next day. But all those young people had to bust at home, maybe that's why it ended at nine. So they had enough two, three, four hours to get back to whatever town they were from around the state. But a lot of young people work in that Minnesota State Fair. Now folks, if you want to talk about people making money, some of these families have had boots there for decades and decades and decades and you can wait a lifetime to get on the list to get a proof, I understand. And for some of these people, that's all they got to do. It's worked that two weeks out of the year. And they've made their money. That's what we used to hear. We heard that some of these families could make three or four million dollars in that

1:18:55two weeks. Have you heard the same thing? That's gross. That's gross. That's gross. It is. I know a lot of people do that. We haven't gotten to the cookies yet. I think that's the last video. But they make five million dollars over the 12 days, five million dollars. Oh, sweet Martha. And there's kids. Yes, sweet Martha's. And all kids work in there and a lot of my daughter's friends go and work the 12 days of the fair. But parking would be horrible. It would be very difficult to get in and out. But yeah, you can make a lot of money in a short span of time. Yes, you can. All right, let's roll the next one. I'm going to look somewhere in for a world view. I bet you didn't think there was anything healthy at the fair. Most people don't come to the fair to, you know, beyond a tie-in. There's too much good food here. Everything's fried basically. But if you want something a little on the healthier side, you cannot miss the food. It's a car. 25,000 pounds a year. 4,000 pounds of butter.

1:19:55And it's all Minnesota growing. So definitely a popular favorite. Don't forget your two things. No, you didn't need them. Wow. Oh, by the way, I for yeah, everybody walking around with corn, of course, all the farmers there at the state. I forgot to mention Logan. You might find this interesting. I never went down that big yellow slide. What's it called again? The giant slide. Oh, they don't have a name for it. It is like big brother or something. No, it's soft one. Do you do Logan? I never went down it. But do you know that your mother and brother went down it? I did not know that. Yes, I stood there waiting for them to go up there and then then to ride down. Why didn't you do it, friend? And why didn't you just not a big slide guy? But I was, I think to be honest with you, I think I may have been standing there with a stroller with one of the other kids, probably my daughter. I don't know that Logan was born yet at that point, but I was either standing there guarding Logan for guarding his sister who was in a stroller while she went with the oldest child.

1:20:57I just looked it up Logan. Look at this. Sweet Martha's cookie jar three locations there at the fairgrounds, $5.24 million in 2025 gross sales. What do you think the profit margin is Logan? North of 50% I would say so as well. Pronto pops 2.23 million mouth trap cheese curds. No, thank you 1.29 million. Well, let's eat some cheese curds, get really hot and sweaty and then throw them up on the street. The which you would sometimes have to step over after to be honest with you. Along with stepping over animals that had been berating and left behind some calling cards. Perfect pickle, a dollar or excuse me 1.7 million porn roast. We just saw that right 1.69 million. You know, there's a lot of profit in that one. French French fries. Now I must tell you they have huge buckets of French fries and they are very good 1.59 million. The American dairy association of the Midwest, that would be the dairy barn, a 1.39 million.

1:21:58The blue barn 1.23 million. I'm not sure what that is. What's the blue barn? No, you just dump me on that one. Well, you still look, I have no idea either. Rick's pizza 1.11 million. There you go. Martha, sweet Martha's though, it seems to be cleaning up. Let's go to the next one. Thank you. This is Melissa Herré for World View 2. Come and sue you from the Minnesota State Fair. You know, this is a lot of walking. That's really good for getting your steps in, but it's nice to take a rest. So we're up here on the Sky Ride. This is one of the favorite attractions when you come to the fair. You get to see the scope of everything, the great giant Ferris wheel there. And over there, there's a bunch of rides. And the fair has the down a little bit since it's getting a little later. But up here, you just enjoy the nice cool night air.

1:23:01There's a grandstand show going on. They've got big acts every single night of the fair. Tomorrow night Brad Faisley is going to be here. But yeah, it's just a great time to cap off the summer with some fun, with some entertainment. You know, getting away from it all. We're getting your cares for a little while and everything going on in the world. You have to do that now and then you have to take a break from the grind. Come out and have some fun. We'll see you at the next one. Wow. And you know what? It must have been getting later because those streets were looking a lot less crowded. Yes. I think the next video is the same thing. We did a couple takes of that, but trying to get the best capturing what was up. My husband was my foe tag. So he was doing the shooting. But yeah, I was thinning out quite a bit by nine-ish. And just so folks know, most of those structures there, are year round. They stay a lot of. Sure.

1:24:02Sure. I mean, I know our friend, Charame. He has been at the Minnesota State Fair during the off season. There's a small church there and he did a presentation about Islam there. So we went to see Charame. It was a few years back. But yeah, most of the structures stay. You can drive through there, you know, at the off season. Mm-hmm. The blue barn is definitely permanent. All those barns are permanent. What is the blue? What is the blue barn? Island's up. It's a restaurant looks farm handwitch, beef, burrito bun. Oh. Bamwitch. Handwitch. There you go. Hornroot. Well, that's all new. That was not there when I was there. I don't, at least I sure don't remember it if it was. And I think I would have remembered. By the way, sweet Martha's is a class by itself. Roughly 400,000 per day is sold in cookies. Baking on the order of a million cookies a day across its three stands.

1:25:02Can you even imagine that a million cookies a day across its three stands and employing hundreds of seasonal workers. The spares 15% commission on that one vendor alone is around $750 to $800,000. Can we just stop right there for a moment? Because you don't just buy a booth. You've got to give 15% commission. And then you got to pay your taxes and your employee and your cost. But I'm sure by the time you make $5.24 million and pay everything, you're still coming out where you probably don't need to work the rest of the year unless you chose to do so. I would venture, no, look it up Logan. I would not be shocked if we, I would bet that sweet Martha's is, I mean, if it's not, they should. I would bet you could order sweet Martha's throughout the year. I would be really shocked if they don't sell their product in local grocery stores. My grocery stores do sell it. It's hard to be a vendor, Brandon, can I tell you what I thought of an idea if I could be

1:26:04a vendor at the fair and I'm going to be giving it away to people, but I just think it's so clever. Okay, the stand would be called Boba pret. You know, like Boba Fett from Star Wars. And if you're, if you know Star Wars, so Boba Fett is a Star Wars character. It would be Balba T and Hot pretzels. Balba Fett. So it would be T and Hot pretzels, like iced tea. Balba T, you know, Balba T with the jellies and the tapioca beads. Maybe it's because I have teenage daughters that I know. You've totally lost me. I know what she's talking about. I'm not selling you on my fair stand. Well, I'm Logan knows what you're talking about. They're popular. They are popular. Okay, I'll take your word for it. You know what they, what they really need is some good Southern barbecue up there's what they need. I could choose that. Some some some Tennessee sweet tea Logan. Yeah, you know, if they'd be very popular up there. I don't even if it wasn't either, right? Let's go to the next one. Here we go. One. Okay. Hello, I'm Melissa Hare for World BXU. We're here at the Minnesota State Fair.

1:27:05Our night is winding down. But what is more American than a Ferris wheel? And this is not just any Ferris wheel. You'll see behind me those things. Great American Ferris wheel. commemorating celebrating the 250th birthday of America. It just gives you a real patriotic feeling. Looking at that. That's a wheel. When you're up at the top, the view is tremendous. You can see 14 miles. You're in the middle of Minneapolis and St. Paul. So you can see either city from the top of that wheel. It's just tremendous and it's unlike any other Ferris wheel you're ever going to find. This is definitely one of the biggest highlights of the Minnesota State Fair. We'll see you at the next stop. I don't, is that been there a long time? They bring a new one every year. This one I guess is the tallest one ever. It's yeah, 250th birthday for America special wheel. We didn't go up on the wheel. We usually do. But hey, Brenna, we were trying to hit the highlights and maximize our time.

1:28:09Yep, there you go. All right, let's roll the next one for the second time. I have more for the race with World View 2. Here's the Minnesota State Fair. There you go. Mini donuts. There you go. You've been on the sky ride, the animals. We've just been taking it all in, but yeah. We're getting a little hungry. We haven't had time eating anything yet. And I've been bragging on these mini donuts all night long. These are tom-dum donuts. So you know, every Chinese donut, you've got to have mini donuts. Let's see how these scatter up. Yeah, let's see. That's it. Any other mini donuts? Yeah, let's see. It's really fun. That's very good. You got to say it's the room for three marks. Let's cook these. Wow, those, I'm telling you, I can't eat those now. I'm gluten free, but the mini donuts log in. Oh. Hey, one that you saw, that was the one.

1:29:11Well, they would, they would give it to you in like a wax paper bag. And they just, just everything about it was amazing. The sound of the paper crinkling to the taste of the mini donut. It's just like edged in my mind, covered sugar. You know, they, they've deep fry them and then they cover them and roll them in sugar. You just can't get enough of that. But I can't do that anymore and haven't had one in years. I am hoping we get to the sweet Martha's though. Here we go. Okay. Okay, everyone. I'm Melissa Verre for World YouTube. I know I've been promising you these sweet Martha's cookies all night long. We finally made it here. This is our last stop at the fair. Sweet Martha's. It's, it's what you've come to the fair for. I know I keep saying that about different things, but if I had to pick one day, you see everybody here. They're walking out with a bucket of these. $20 for a bucket of sweet Martha's. They've got three boots at the fair and they crank out the product. Get this. Three million cookies a day. And they grossed $5 million over the farce for 12 days of the fair.

1:30:14So you can take, you're not going to go through this old bucket in a night. I don't think anybody can do that. Maybe you have a big family, you could, but we got to get a taste of these cookies. Home style, better than grandma's chocolate chip cookies. Let's try it. I got to say these are better than the mini donuts. Final crispy chewy warm out of the oven. And you get to take them home to share with the people who weren't able to come with you like my kids. But hey, my husband and I had a fun date. So I hope you have enjoyed all these stops of the Minnesota State Fair. The 12 best days of summer. Have a great night. I'll see you next time. Wow, well, those I'm telling you are absolutely amazing. I can testify to that. They load up so many cookies into those buckets.

1:31:19Now they've been doing this a long time. Here is a picture I just found online. Cookies, 79 to 82. That's 79 I think. Yeah. Things 79 to 82. Yeah, you can tell from the close. Look at all the plaid shirts. My friend Michael Reagan used to always say to me, what is it with all you guys up there? And the plaid shirts. I don't know. I do it here in Tennessee do a lot. Lamar Alexander the US Senator then turn governor was known for the plaid shirt too. But Michael Reagan used to always ask what is it with the plaid shirts for all you guys up there? I said, I don't know, but it kind of runs from Minnesota all the way down to Tennessee into Texas. I don't know. I don't know, but he always found it interesting when he came back to the area all the plaid shirts. I wish I could find a video showing you real quick before we go. Look at this. Let me just do it for what it's worth. Let's see what it shows us because they cram the sweet Martha's into this bucket. Here we go. Let's see about this. Okay. Have a great day at the bear.

1:32:22Look, oh, you can get also cops of them. Yeah. Thanks, honey. Yes. Two milk. More cookies. Okay. Look at that. There you go. A couple on the top. You can just eat right away. I have fun at the fair and back to school. I've already got one bucket this year. We ate the mountain on top. My friend and I, and we closed it to save it. I woke up the next morning. My brother ate the entire bucket. Oh my goodness. The entire bucket. That's nice to meet you. You're lovely. I can speak to you. Yeah. Well, thank you. Okay, that lady, I don't think she's just part of the regular, unless she is actually the woman behind it. She actually sweet Martha. I don't know. It seemed like it. I know. She, let's see. Who was that? Oh, you know who that was. Oh boy, I wish I didn't read that. That was terrible. That was Tim Walsh. That was Tim Walsh's wife. Oh no, keep her out of it. Oh brother, John, don't ruin a good story house. Cookies are extreme. We actually asked them to not.

1:33:23We had to take them home and we were going to eat 50 cookies. I had one. But it's, it's very excessive. Well, that's part of the fun, I guess. Speaking of Tim Walsh, look, there he is. Oh no, he's going to sweet Martha's. He's passing out sweet Martha's. There's no no parties. Yeah, that's hilarious. Oh, I'll tell you a brand. And that's going to ruin the piece. I know. That's a happy note to conclude on. Yeah, that's right. Everybody hear that comment? Make it so everyone hears that one. I'm looking at Lisa's at the state fair and not the White House. Yeah, very good. Very good comment Logan. By Martha's. Frozen cookies year round. You can buy them year round. Frozen. Yeah, really? Do the Ebony gluten free? I don't know. I doubt it. Is it a Minnesota company? It has to be right?

1:34:25No gluten free. Yeah, is it a Minnesota based company? I'm sure, right? I asked the internet about sweet Martha's because do you know that some people have waited up to 20 years to get a booth? Yes, yes, I have heard that. You're right. Of course, that doesn't kind of all the people that applied never got one period with the course of the life of the fair. I said, well, sweet Martha's has got to be a per, you know, they got to be like they don't apply every year. They got to deal where they're set in stone because they're buildings three of them are too big. Their kitchens are too big. You're right. The sweet Martha's looks different from a typical trailer booth. They have been at the fair since 1979. 47 years now run three large locations with industrial kitchens that can bake about 44,000 cookies every 12 minutes. Wow, they're locked in. They're only four thousand cookies every 12 minutes. Don't they know they're starving children in the world and they're baking 44,000 cookies every

1:35:2512 minutes just to give to people at the fair. I don't know. Where's the social justice in that? Ah, it's a buffet of access. Yeah, and I'm all for it to be honest with you. Every now and I'm all for it. Those buildings did not appear overnight. Well, that's yeah, thank you. They started in a nine by 11 food stand. They built themselves over the decades. Well, we just saw a picture of it. Over the decades, they took over and converted existing buildings including the former Adalines Scandinavian kitchen in the early 1990s. I remember that. I remember that Scandinavian. I never hit that up. I don't think I hit it up, but you couldn't miss it because it looked like something out of like Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which is now their oldest standing booth. Opened a grandstand area location in 94, which is right by the grandstand, obviously. They said that and later expanded it. Built a new permanent hill booth on the north end in 2018.

1:36:26Now the hill booth isn't the hill where they have all the tractors? Yes, machinery hill. Yes. See, I've not thought about machinery hill now in 20 something years. But we didn't make it to the track. Yeah, we used to go over to machinery hill just to look at, oh, they see the farm equipment. The big John deer. Yeah, she thinks my tractor's sexy. Remember that's all. Oh, he got any chance. Me Logan. Do you know that song? Yeah, I know that. Sorry Logan. I'm sorry. All right. Martha has seen him in person. You have seen him in person. Can you chest me? Yeah. Yeah. Really? I didn't know that's. I didn't know he hates that he's saying that song. Oh, yeah. That was like 20 years ago. That was hits. That had to be 20 years ago that that came out. Logan, look it up. And then we got to write about like 97, I'm saying 96. Definitely 20 plus years ago. Look at it. Please Logan. Martha has said they own the buildings. Really Martha? Who is Martha? Is she really around still? Look her up. I got it here.

1:37:28She's really there. That's Martha. Well, look at a show where she was younger. There she is. 1979. Look at Martha. And where is she now? What do we know about her? They don't call Martha Roussini Olsen sweet for nothing. Same Paul Native Martha. You may know her for her. Her her as sweet Martha and her three business partners. Gary Olsen and Neil Brenda or Larry have been selling fresh from the oven chocolate cookies for over 40 years. Yeah. And sweet Martha's got a net worth of, you know, how high. What's her name Logan? What's her name? Martha Rossini. How you spell that? Martha Rossini. How you spell that? R-O-S-S-I-N-I. R-O-S-S-I-N-I. I'm going to look at her net worth. That song was in 1999, but look at that.

1:38:28I was close. Sweet Martha has made a lot of money, which good for her. I'm all for it. There is no published reliable net worth for Martha. I would guess not. Okay, well, we'll just have to guess. But anyway, she's been there for 47 years. 44,000 cookies every 12 minutes. And let's see. Martha said they own the buildings, but at least the land year to year from the fair. That is the key distinction. The structures are theirs and are built for high volume baking. But the underlying deal is still the standard food vendor license. They're invited back each November. They operate all 12 days and they pay the same 15% gross sales as other food concessories. You think she sits there every year at the close of the fair in September and thinks, oh no, I'm so nervous. I've got to wait the rest of September and all of October into November to find out whether

1:39:31I invited back for the next year. I don't think she asked to worry. She's been there for 47 years. And I think they're pretty happy to take the 57 or what is it? The 15% of that, what we say she was making five points, something 5.24 billion. Two or a two or I think. Yeah, I think they're I don't think she has to worry that who the fair is over. Wonderful. Wonderful. Be back to Minnesota State Fair next year, guys. I don't know. I sold it. And I don't have that. I don't have that accident. Do I? No, you don't. No, you don't. You don't. But I did notice that some of the folks at the state fair this year putting videos online, we're being sure to accent their accent. They just love. They were playing to the cameras, what I'm saying. They all had the biggest Minnesota accent. I'm like, you guys don't talk that bad. That you guys are playing it up. Playing it up for the camera on social media. But I'll tell you something, there is a distinct culture up there. My wife was born and raised in Rockford, Illinois. And whenever we go back up to Rockford or anywhere in that area, my wife says,

1:40:35you could put, you could put me, you could do a polo, Mr. T, polo, Mr. T, knock me out, put me on a plane, drop me unconscious, back in the Midwest. And as soon as I opened my eyes and looked at the people, I would know where I was at. Because there is a distinct way that they dress, they talk everything. It's very different and very unique to that culture. And I'll tell you. Thank you for saying different. What did you say different and unique? Other than some other adjectives you could have. No, it's not a bad thing. I'm just saying it's just very distinct. It's very, it's very Scandinavian or we'd Yes. There's a, there's a, let me give you an example. Here down where we live, not all the south, but where we live, there are a lot of people you would think have a lot of money. Because they look like they have a lot of money, but the house they live in, the way they dress, the cars they drive, the jewelry they wear. But some of them we know, we know where they work, we know how much they make.

1:41:37And some of their wives have said, if my husband loses his job, we lose our house in six months. Now, if they didn't tell you that, you would think they're super wealthy. But would you back me up low again? A lot of pretenders here, right? Mm-hmm, really. Yeah, a lot of pretenders. They have, they look wealthy, they're not. They're doing fine, but they're not wealthy people. In your part of the world, there are a lot of wealthy people and you would never know it. They don't, that's an interesting perspective. They never know. Don't wear, a lot of them do not wear their well. They're very conservative, that Scandinavian norwegian. Stoic. Very stoic. I'll tell you something else too. When you get them together as a group, to try to get them to respond as a group, they're very stoic as a group until you get them a little bit warmed up. Unless they really, really, really, really know you. They really, really know you.

1:42:38Then when you walk out onto the platform and you're reduced, you get a great, otherwise they're very stoic and you got to get them warmed up. But they're very stoic. But that is really refreshing because, and my wife has said this over the years, your kids up there don't have to play in this, halves have not, you don't wear the right clothes, you don't wear the right shoes. Nobody did that when I was living there in junior high and high school. Everybody was just pretty much the same. Nobody, it was just a culture. It was a cultural thing. People are very conservative. And like you said, stoic and they don't try to show off or show off their money as a whole. I'm not saying they're not people that don't do it. But as a whole, it's a very conservative culture in that regard. And my wife and I actually appreciate that because we get around and have been around here a lot of people that you think are really wealthy and they're not at all. It's just fake. So it's very family-friendly there, very hard workers, very conservative financially.

1:43:43A lot of people sock their money away, they save their money. It's a lot of hard working family people. And you see that at the state fair when you start talking to the farmers and the ranchers. And the same thing is true when I've spent time in South Dakota with farmers and ranchers out there. Some of those guys, they're out in the field, they're working, they're working cattle. You would have no clue that some of these guys, again, it's helped with generational farming and land being donated and equipment. But you would have no clue you're dealing with people that are multi-multimillionaires because of the family business of generation generation generation. Because they're very humble people, they don't wear it. And they just work their job day in and day out and they pass it on to the next generation. It's something very commendable about those kind of people. Yeah, that is something I do appreciate about living here. There are a few good things if we just can overlook the politics. Are you leaving that state at some point or not? Yes, my youngest daughter.

1:44:45She's a junior this year. She'll graduate in 2028 and then we are more or less free. And where are you going? We say, well, we want to go to Florida. It doesn't everyone in Minnesota want to go to Florida. But then the people in Florida say, it's too hot here. It's too humid. We'd at least like to go somewhere in the winter months. Where are you going to go? What part of Florida? Well, we always vacation in the keys, but no one's going to live in the keys. The space coast or not Miami per se, but maybe talking to grow something like that. We're just just kind of spitballing here. All right, well, don't go to Miami. The prices for homes are ridiculously stupid. That's something you can get in Minnesota. Huge yard. We have a huge yard. I think it's a blessing which you can get for your money here. You're not going to find in a lot of other places. Which is saying something because that's not the cheapest housing market. No, it's not. Maybe it was because we bought our house 10 years ago. Well, yeah, you look at it and that's really bad.

1:45:45No, it is. And when people from Minnesota come down and come to my house, they're like, whoa, what are you doing? It's all brick and crown molding. That's standard here. They make the brick here. The crown molding, all the standard here in the south, it's different. What do you think I hate for my house? They gas and I'm like, you're like double off, buddy. You're thinking Minnesota prices. And then my friends from Washington, DC, are California. They're like, oh, I'm like, what do you think? I paid for this place 22 years ago. They tell you I'm like, you're so far off. You're guessing California or DC prices again. But the brick is made here. The crown molding, a lot of that stuff is standard. Whereas up north, that was extra. You go by a house. It's like you want this, you want that. A lot of that stuff here is standard. Your builder builds it. You get that standard. That's part of the house. You get it. So. Yeah, Tennessee is great too. Perfect weather. I think the forest. He's still. I don't know. Wait a minute Logan. She says perfect. She says perfect weather. Can I tell you? Maybe it's East Tennessee.

1:46:46Yeah, well, I don't know what the temp is over there. But let me see. Today is 98 tomorrow 96 Saturday 98 Sunday 99 Monday 95 Tuesday 93 Wednesday 92 Thursday 96 Friday 91 Saturday 92. And that's when we haven't been hitting 98 99 101 for the last couple of weeks. It's night. They want here today. Yes, but you don't have. You don't have our you don't have our humidity. What do we get? You know, people think this is the great frozen tundra up here. And it's actually very hot. I mean, this has been very hot so much fun. Yes, I do know you do. I do know it gets warm up there. Our humidity right now is 55% the 2.75%. That seems pretty. What's that pretty? Yeah, you walk to this mailbox in back in and I'm not talking about. Yeah, I'm not talking about a dirt country road talking about it, you know, a standard driveway. And by the time you get back to the house, the sweat's been running down your back and you're

1:47:46you need to change your shirt. What? I'll mention it all. You have a nice mild 40s, right? Trans. For the winners, well, unless we get an ice storm, but for the most part, yes. You don't usually have to wear a coat here. And if you spend any time living in Minnesota, you definitely don't feel like you need to wear a coat. So no, if you came down here, you would not be wearing a coat and you'd be looking at all the Tennessee into our talk about cold it is. I'm not saying you don't know what cold is, right? Are we out of videos? I think so. That's it. We're out of time. You are awesome. Thank you for being a good trooper. Sometimes we have to come off of the very serious topics we deal with and just have some fun at the great Minnesota get together. Reminds me of Lake Wobegon and Garrison Keeler. Garrison Keeler, yes. He's probably super liberal. I think everybody loved Lake Wobegon. Is Garrison Keeler even still living?

1:48:47I've looked him up in recent days. He's probably, he's had some minor scandals, you know, just different things with alleged accusations of things. I think the one I'm thinking of that. Yeah, you're something. He's a liar. Sound member or something. He's alive. He's 84. And he is touring this month. He scheduled in Sir'sville, Pennsylvania tonight. Well, look at that. He's 84 PBS. He was very popular. I'll take something in closing. I went and spoke at a Christian school for about three days. Christian school tied a bunch of churches for three days. Friday night, Sunday morning, Sunday night, Monday night seminar. And Garrison Keeler's brother was on the board of the Christian school. And his brother was the nicest man. The nicest man, wonderful Christian man. And of course, he loved his brother. And we had a great conversation about his brother.

1:49:48But yeah, what a contrast because I don't think Garrison is all that conservative. But his brother was a wonderful Christian man. A couple hours north of the Twin Cities. And I enjoyed spending my two days with him in the Christian school that he was so committed to. So you just never know. You just never know, right? Well, Brandon, if you and Melissa and Logan and your family come up here, we'd love to take you all. Take you all for dinner. Take you around when Shoramas and Minnesota. We always make sure to go to his church he's speaking out or wherever he is. We'd love to host you if you come up to me. Well, you're very kind. I need to get up there to see my mother and father in the Twin Cities area. But it's a long trip up there and long trip back. But eventually I need to get up there and maybe I can combine it. I'm not coming in the winter. But maybe one of these years I'll combine it while the state fairs going on and there we go. I'm going to see you at your conference. Are you going to be there in Milwaukee? I'll walk a shower, right? Walk a shower? What is it Milwaukee? No, walk a shower. Suburb in Milwaukee Friday night October 23rd. Saturday October 24th.

1:50:48All right, Melissa, where can people pick up your show? Please watch me on Lindell TV every morning, 7am central time. If you want to subscribe to the Hope Report YouTube channel, I do a lot of other streams outside of the 7am show and I'm on Instagram. Addict to Apologist. If you want some more shuffle dancing, little Bible nuggets of truth. And you interview Andy Woods. Another great people like Shuron Willathine. Shuron is a great friend. He's on about every month. Andy comes on every month. I've had Bren in Bolt House. Love to have him back. Good. Yeah, I mean, I have some great guests. A lot of us are running in the same circles. Melissa, you're a trooper. Thanks for doing that. Thank you for the opportunity. I loved it. Me too. It's great. Melissa Hurei checking in, folks. Just put her name, Melissa Hurei, into a search engine. You'll find her on the socials and her broadcast as well. She has a very powerful testimony. We have shared that here. I don't know about you Logan, but I thought that was fun. Yeah, it was. I like that. Yeah. Would you like to go to the Minnesota State Fair?

1:51:48Yeah, I'd like to see you there. You really would. Why are you laughing? Because I just can't see you going there. You know, what is it with you guys in the control room? You're like, I can't see you going to the State Fair. Jeb the other day said, I can't see your old man's water skiing, even though we showed you the video. I can't see your old man riding horses. Why is it you guys can't see me outside of sitting at this desk at a 3-piece suit? I don't know. I can see you outside the desk. I just can't see you going to a fair. This is, I don't know. I think you used to not like us going to the fair here. Well, it's just a little more red neckie here. You know, you know, I'm really red neckie. It's more what? I don't know. I don't know what the Minnesota State first like. Well, you just saw it. It's more crime here in Memphis, right? Yeah, it's more crime. There could definitely be a shooting or a stabbing. I mean, your sister got attacked at this fair. Yeah, that's true. She was just standing there. She got attacked. She didn't even know the girl that attacked her.

1:52:49It was just, she only got attacked for one reason. You know why? I know why. Wow, go ahead, say it. What? Is she was white? She was only recent. She got attacked. She got attacked because she had blonde hair and was white. That's it called her Barbie. Yes. And your mother used to experience that same thing in the public school in Rockford, Illinois. Get, have girls calling her Barbie and pick an honor, try to pick fights with her. Simply because she was cute and blonde. That's it. Yeah, so no. Maybe that's why we've stayed away from the Delta Fair for what it's worth. But it looks like the Minnesota Fair has gotten kind of like ever I would expect. Some of the crowds got rougher. But yeah, I would, I would definitely have to take my shoes off, not bring them in the house and drop all the clothes at the back door in the laundry mat because you want to see. Well, I'm changing topics, but no, go ahead. Let's see what the White House just put out. Oh, do we have to go ahead?

1:53:53They've been posting tweets about different Xbox games and GameCube. So when you go to the link, they're posting and they have a bunch of games on here, you can play. So you can now go and play games at the White House website and you can go play this game where you catch illegals. Oh my. And when you pick them up, they follow you and jump suits. Okay. Well, now look, I'm all for law and order and I am all for protecting the border and defending the border. But I'm not so sure that's presidential, certainly not very White House. And it's, I don't know, it just seems like more of the lowering of the standards that we're talking about. Yeah, I was a little shocked. Why were you shocked for the same reason I'm saying? Yeah, I just want to see the White House doing this. Yeah. I just not sure that's a positive thing for the culture. And how much of that costs us? Well, that's an even better question.

1:54:54What other games do you have? Are they, how about they, are they rounding up the protesters or the data centers and calling them domestic terrorists or what? Yeah, they have a flappy bird. They have a build the wall, which is like Tetris. They have the Illigos one, they have a supply line, sort the school lunch to make America healthy again. And then they have a fill the your kids' trump account or you catch stuff. I would almost think this was a Saturday night. I know. I thought it was fake at first. This sounds like suss, get from Saturday Night Live. Wow. Well, your tax dollars at work apparently, folks. Well, either as a good show Logan, good program. All right, guys, you appreciate it. Sometimes we just have to break from the serious stuff. Tomorrow night, we'll have Aaron Lavarco, a reporter from Israel in the building. We'll do a whole series documenting the history of the wars of Israel,

1:55:58bringing a lot of historical footage and historical facts, showing again more information on the history of the nation of Israel. With our reporter who is coming through the area. And then I think he's after that heading back to Israel. So there you go. All right, if you appreciate what we're doing, appreciate your support. Worldviewfoundation.com. Roll the music. Let's call it a night. Worldviewfoundation.com. You'll also find our mailing address. If you prefer to support us through the mail, I can't eat them, but I have a massive craving right now. Or sweet Martha's cookies. Man, even some mini donuts. I'm telling you at this point, I might risk my life and go to the fair, Logan just to get some fair food. But I can't. I'm on a very strict diet, but man, you can almost smell that fair air, which is a combination of yummy and gross, but you love it for some reason. All right, may God save America. Take care.
