Always remember, folks, whatever you think about, you bring about whatever. You focus on growth. Hope everyone's having a great day, safe day. Let's make it a great night, folks. Take a look at one of our four agreements. Love is responsible for its actions.  And you want to experience the consequences of your actions in one way or another. All human beings are completely responsible for their actions, even if they don't want to be. My good eyes. Let's take a look at it out here. We have the now industrials trading down 1137. You get the NASDAQ off 542. We get the S&Ps off 159. That is a downdraft focus inside the NASDAQ of 4.5% inside the S&Ps, 4% inside the Dow Industrial's 3.5%. Gold. Gold contract flat at $18.19 an ounce. You get silver down 26 cents, $21.49 an ounce. Light sweet crude off $3.44 cents at $108.96. Notes and bonds. The note is up 17 ticks, trading $119.12, 30-year up a full point and a half at $140.07 and $Kingdala. It just won't give it up, man. $Kingdala is up $448 ticks, trading at $103.808, Euro is at $104, Yen is at $128, and the British pound is at $123 to $1.00 US dollar. iPhone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. Give us a call, folks. One note is going on in your world, and the world of the S&Ps, let's take a look at them. Okay. So, intraday out here, folks. This is what you have. We get a bad market. No doubt. But guess what? You have another ABC structure down intraday. So right now we're at $39.23. You're going to see this. I'll set this up for you. You can see how this works. So you're going to, this ABC here, yeah, 8 point is the $39.74, the B point is down there at the $39.27. Your C point is up there at the $39.42. You broke it with volume. That sets up, where am I? I got so many different ABCs here. It's amazing. $38.84. Now, we can get to $38.84 today. That's how this is setting up. You've got a weak market. You broke the B point. You're broken on volume. Okay. So that's the first part. Second part, let's get to where we think this may go. So what you have out here today is this. The spy's down $16. You're at $392. The B point on a potential ABC down is $385.15. If you're a bull, what you'd love to see is this hit the low today. Because right at this particular point, you get 71 million shares, bottom line, that's not big volume. You're coming into $125 million. What I expect we're going to see is that you're not going to get down to this $385. What you're going to see is it's a down market. I expect this ABC structure on the way down could very well hit before 4 o'clock, and then the market wakes up in the morning, folks, and just blows this number away. That's in your spy. We take a look at the NDX100, the three Qs, same type of setup. What you have with the NQs right now, they're down $14.5. You're at $281. You have 58 million shares traded. The highs of the lows is at $295.75. You've listened to me many times, you know that when you get into a bar, the top of that bar is $295. The bottom is $284. We're four points into it. We're going to the bottom of the bar. I don't expect we'll get there today. If we did get there today, that'd be good. Bottom line, I don't expect it, though. I expect what you're going to see is that we're going to get lower because the Qs have, where am I? The NQs, let me pull the NQs up because they're in the ABC structure down to intraday. NQ, okay, so the NQs, where did I put this one? Here we go, okay. So we're at $119.60. It did the same deal. Bottom line, you can see this bar at $230. Check out the B point. That sets up $11,822. And right now, you're $11,951. So bottom line is that intraday, that's what we have. Now if we go over to the Qs and we take a look at the Qs, what we have is that you're going to see that the B point of a potential ABC down is laying out here at that $284. You're going to need a volume of $120 million. Right now I only get $60, so I don't expect we're going to get it out here today. What I do expect we're going to see is that you are going to get a surge of volume at the close. And the thing that's wild about this, so watch how volume works, folks, is that, and this is subtle, but I've been doing this for so long that I just wanted to understand something here. So picture that we get a big bounce. Well, if we get a big bounce, you're going to have a high volume low. If we don't get a bounce, you're going to have more people selling at the close. Now this is kind of where this sits when you've been down all day. That's how this baby is set up. Let's go to Earl and Seminole. Hey, Earl, what's going on? Hey, Tim, how are you doing? Looks like a wild ride, Timon. It certainly is a wild ride. There's no doubt about that, man. Yeah, I'd like to have you take a look at where you think Bitcoin might be at it. XBT. So do you trade Bitcoin? Your own Bitcoin? What do you do? I'm sure I'm at an ETF. I'll say, OK, so right now Bitcoin broke, you're at 29,000 right now. I suspect, well, let me put this on a weekly. OK, so 31,000. Yeah, I mean, this looks like this is going after its low again.  So my take is that it will get down there. You break that, and then you're talking about real action. Then you're talking about like 18,900. You break that, and then you're back down to like 11,800. So it's serious business, man, on the way down. Yeah, that's what it looked like to me.  Does it look like we're headed into a recession? Yes. Yes.  That's the structure that we're in.  So that means we're going down. With booming inflation, we are purchasing powers eroded, there's no better place to protect your hard earned money than in gold. Vista Gold's flagship asset is the Monk Todd Gold Project in the Northern Territory of Australia. This is Australia's largest undeveloped gold project. We are talking a world-class gold project in a tier one mining district. This is a large-scale, low-cost project with significant existing infrastructure in a politically safe and friendly mining jurisdiction. Vista Gold just completed the Monk Todd Feasibility Study, which resulted in a 7 million-ounce gold reserve in a 16-year mine life. All of this combined with the approvals of all major operational, as well as environmental permits. This distinguishes Monk Todd as an attractive, diverse party, ready-development-stage-goal project. Vista Gold trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol VGZ. Are you looking for a way to consistently add winning trades to your portfolio? Tom O'Brien is here to help.

We're talking to Earl from Seminole, basically talking about what our signature's worth. You know, Earl, that's the bottom line, that when interest rates go up, the bottom line is that banks are going to lend less money, our signature's worth less money, so that tells me that there's going to be a reset in everything. I'm talking about everything. You name it, there's a reset, because we're all worth less money, you know? I agree. I was just wondering what you thought, like let's say real estate value is something, let's say it's about half a million, if you look for 20, 30, 40 percent, maybe a retracement, what do you see? Yeah, so this is a great question, man. And so pitch is folks, anecdotally, right here, let me tell you a couple stories there. Because anecdotally, you know, I build a lot in St. Pete. I've consolidated it in a monster way, which, you know, all your tigers and tigers just know that, because that's what I did. And I've got offered, like, two projects with permits in place. And I said to the first guy, this is about two months ago, I says, you know, why aren't you doing it? Oh, I'm too busy. Second guy said, you know, I'm just worried. This morning, right, I get three different phone calls offering me more. We're in it. And the hot pot is that you just don't know, or that's what it comes down to, is what we don't know is that, as that old saying goes, we don't know who is naked in the market and overleveraged. And you know, there can be a lot more than we think. Well, you know, this is, to me, this is not a 2007, 2008. I'm looking, I'm saying, I'm figuring like 20%. And we'll see how long that lasts, you know. But listen, it can go, you know, in different markets, it can be a different animal. But it really depends on, you know, the character of the market. Something that, so there's two wildcards here. The first one is how many people actually got into the Airbnb business, okay, as to, you know, how many do they have, are they over their head? Now that'll be on the downside. But then the upside is, do these funds that has still have quite a bit of money, are they going to come in and try to stay, not stabilize it on purpose, but trying to get more houses, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I get calls every day to buy my property. Yeah, well that's, yeah, no, everyone does. That's normal, that's the flip is that we want to buy a property for nothing, do you know what I mean, son? Yeah, anyway, Cook and Brother, have a great one, man, have a safe one. Be blessed, Tommy. Thank you, I appreciate that. I love that saying. You know that saying, folks, okay, have a blessed day. You know what I'm saying, Pete, a lot of people use it, man. What a cool saying that is, man, right? It really is. Let's go to Phil in Puerto Rico. Hey, Phil, what's going on, brother? Cook and how's it going, Tom? You're getting in that water every day. Yes, sir. Wonderful, I'm doing the same, living the dream, same as you. I know, man, it's crazy. Yeah. Wanted to take a look at Overstock, was looking for a target, if it breaks a little lower. Okay, so let's take a look. We're looking to take a swing. You get Overstock.com, the lowest 27, the highest 111. This has been on a one-way deal. Let's pull this up and put this on a four-year. Okay, so, oh, look at this. So you broke down 29, we're under that. Yeah, I just still hang tight, Phil. You know, yeah, let me put this a line up so you can see this line. See that tight, right there with volume? That's $20.85. Let it get down there, at least. Right, see what around 20, okay. Yeah, and you need a rejection of price at that point. If you don't get a rejection of price, you know, the bottom line is that that thing can go low. Because if you were just listening to Dave's program, there's no doubt what we have out here today, folks, is this, is that you're coming down, we're coming down with light volume, there's no doubt about that. But you need a rejection of price simultaneously. The reason that I'm basically saying we're gonna go lower is that intraday, I always go with the ABC. And the ABC, you know, bottom line, we already broke the B point of an intraday ABC down. So that's telling me we're gonna go down.  And if we're gonna go down, the volume's gonna explode. So to me, at the end of this day, we're gonna have volume. That's how this shakes out. Cookin' brother? I appreciate it, Tom, have a great one. Okay, man, have a great one, have a safe one. So, man, we have an even 1200 here. Okay, so let's go, there's not gonna be any, let's go inside the NDX first. So we look at the NDX, the strength versus the weakness. We got Dollar Tree is off 15%, cost goes off 12 and a half. Old Dominion, oh, let's look at this one. Now this gets interesting. Okay, so this is the trucking business, folks, right? When we pulled up truckies a while back, too. And what happens here is that, see, my take is this, we've been in this since last November, folks. Last November to me is when this thing started. And anyway, so you get Old Dominion, okay? Old Dominion, you know, big trucking firm, man, huge trucking firm, okay? I've used them many times, okay? The lowest today, 236, the high is December 7th, okay? 373. So you're talking about, my God, $70, $740 has gone down since December. This is gonna be an ABC down, but let's just see how we're kicking it here. So put it on a weekly. Okay, so you're breaking, hmm, that's interesting, you're breaking B point, you're not gonna have the volume though, 2.6 million. Oh, Wednesday, oh yeah, we could have the volume. Okay, so we can. That's 328, 257, we got what? 43, 50, 363, 71, that gets you 220. Or 236, yeah, this is going to the next level. 220 is on the agenda. And this one here, you also can see is this. You can see how we came off the high, that's coming off the high with volume.  That's what ends up happening. That's how they basically shake out. We gotta go look at Twitter, you know, I suspect what's going to end up happening, they're going to have to fight over the billion dollar breakup fee, because none of us really actually know what's inside of that first contract. But as I said a little bit earlier, like a couple of weeks ago, if Musk hadn't bid $54, Twitter would be a $20 stock. And right now, let's see, 73, let me look at this. This would be a mindblower, 40 bucks. Okay, so pitch this. What Twitter can set up, folks, is Twitter can set up an ABC structure down to $14. And that would make sense, because I felt it was a $20 stock, like a week after he made that attempt, and he probably did too, because, you know, the bottom line is that, you know, everything is lower. So it's like, why would you pay something higher? Well, bottom line, we'll see. Starey there, folks, come right back.

Yeah, so what I'm gonna do right now, you guys get a pencil handy and write some of these numbers down. So I did all the numbers for the ABC structures. These are potential ABC structures, folks. Okay, if you have the Art of Timing the Trade, you know they're gonna take the B point out, they're gonna take it out with volume. So let's do the NASDAQ first, because I don't think I don't expect any of these to hit the B point until tomorrow. That's the bottom line. So the composites are 11,405. That projection is 10,628. So now let's go look at where 10,628 is. Okay, so 10,900 to the high is 10,000. What is that, that's 12,000, 10,000, yeah. So this is where we're going, man. That's, you know, we brought this up a few times. So your next leg down, basically, is bringing it down to probably 10,500. When you get that close, that'll be the leg. That brings you back to, what's that, August of 2020. So that's the composite. Now, NDX. We take the NDX, okay. So we're at 11,917. This projection, okay. It's 10,698. Yep, same deal. Yep, we're going to these lows, man. This is this next place that, it all makes sense. We tried it around the release five or six weeks. Okay, NDX. Dow, let's pull the Dow up. Dow's laying out at 31,406. This is saying ABC down at 27,353. Let's see what this is, that, oh, hold it. I did that right once again. 3,035. I'm going to do that Dow again. Don't take that number yet. Okay, SPX and the Q's. So the cash SPX. Okay, so the cash SPX is 35,25. And that's 36,51. So we put this back. Yeah, this is heavy. See, this is what's getting heavy here, folks, is that the 36,51 is bringing you back to just above, you know, the February before we crashed, you know, the COVID low for a minute, right? I was 3,393. This is bringing us back to the top of it, so, man, you know, my take here is that, particularly after seeing Walmart and Target, you know, you have companies like that that are pulling that healthy markets or corrections don't have equities open down $50 that are not tech stocks. Just doesn't, you know, it just doesn't happen, you know. It happens, but it happens in bear markets. That's my point. Because then the sell is just everywhere. That's how it goes. So let's go take a look at, I know we're gonna take a look at them. J.P. Morgan, because what does happen as you keep getting to lower price, this is where, okay, that's not bad. This is definitely not bad. It's only down 250. They're at 119. But watch this, this is actually what I just, this has already got smoked. Yeah, look at this. See, it's already into it. This is, these are the types of clues that you really like to wrap your head around. So if we look at J.P. Morgan, the low in J.P. Morgan at the COVID low is $76. The high of that low on a weekly basis is 97. Well, guess what, we're already digging into it. And look at this, this is an ABC down too. One second, one, no, no, it's not. Yeah, it's a small one. It's a small one. Let's see what that is. That's 143. Well, I guess it's not as small as I think. You know what's so weird? Is that these prices have moved so dramatically. That looked like a small one, but yeah, it's at 17.8 to B. So 17, 27, 37, 17, God. You got, this is like insane. You got, look at it, six, once, oh, it's already, we're at 116. 116 is the A to B equals the C to D. So yeah, the pot that's pretty intense here folks is not only that this market is down this dramatically. Now let me show you that this is the, you have some fear out here today. You know, we talked about the tick and the trend. We're gonna get our heads wrapped around this because the bottom line is that you can see minus 1608 the ticket, okay? So in that aspect, you know, is that right there? Yeah. So this was just hit the last 10 minute buy. Now that's a good down tick. That's what you're looking for. What we also have is the trend. This is what you need to get to the bottom too. The trend, see that trend at 2.45, that's what you want. That's what you need. And if we get two more days like this, that would basically put yourself, you know, so here are the three things, right? This is when you're coming into bottoms, what ends up happening is this, the five day trend will basically get over 10. The tick index we've had, we've had for quite some time, meaning that you keep coming down, you come down and intraday have had it. So we have that in place. Then though, you need the rejection of lower price. You need all three of them. And what I've seen is that when you are looking at the trend, you want that for good bottoms, you want those that, well, yeah, you want that over 10. And it's really hard to get over 10. And you can tell, you know, I was talking about this last week that unfortunately when it ended up happening is that this came way back. You see this yesterday, yesterday, that's like a bull market at 0.46. On Friday it was at 0.30. This is the deal, like when you start really understanding what these figures actually mean, that's the last thing you want to see on a down market is that it comes back so quick.  Bottom line folks is that, you know, when you get markets like this, okay, most of the time what ends up happening is that you will hear no one. And I mean no one saying that I'm going to buy this. That's what happens in bad markets. And yeah, that's just kind of how it goes. I mean, I'd love to basically, you know, think it's something different, but it's not, it's not. No matter, let's go look at Amazon. You know, I've always talked about how hot the Amazon is always to buy. And it always is, man, because it looks like it's going to be the end of the world. Now, Amazon's only down $168, but you've got to remember something.  And now you're back, look at this, this is it, man. Look at the high of the low of Amazon was 1957 and March of 2020. If you don't think the stocks are going back there, man, the best companies in the world are going back Stay right there, folks. You come right back.

So you got advanced Microsoft five bucks, you got Apple up eight and a half, Nvidia's off 11, Target's 54, Bank of America 117, Tesla 53. We're gonna test that for a second because you can just imagine, you know, Elon, when, how many, how much stock he sold at 1200 and 1225? Think about that, folks, okay? I mean, that was the canary in the coal mine also, in a monster way. Now, what Tesla's doing, I mean, Tesla has already traded back to, let's see, December of 2020. And this baby, oh, look at this, hold it, this broke, yeah, it broke a swing, 121, I don't know, yeah, versus 168, okay. So, oh man, this is gonna get interesting. So, okay, so watch this. Okay, so let's put this up. So Tesla would have to get under 700 again. But if Tesla gets under 700, guess what, folks, you're talking a Tesla 200 and 193. Look at this, man, 193, coming at you. This is gonna be sick. There's the high volume, last high volume buy. And so technically, what I've just done here is just so you can see what I did, right? Technically, what happens is this, when you break down, I'm taking the top of this, okay, if it's not an ABC down, there's a couple of different ways, these ones are pretty consistent too, by the way. When you have a large consolidation, you're going sideways, right? And you don't have volume at the highs, which Tesla does not, okay? And you just broke a swing with volume. Now, it saved itself, it came back on the other side and it should, because you can see when you're looking at Tesla, how much support, and this support specifically is how many people bought Tesla between December of 2020, going all the way over to May 2021. So those folks there are not in a losing position yet, okay? Now, this gets underneath that level, then it can just break loose, man. And when it breaks loose, you know, you should get some support at the 502, so I can definitely see where you're looking at the 500 to 502, there's no doubt about that. And this one here though, when you get a market that that's bad, you know, that can get extended. That's how it normally shakes out. And so, you know, the whole thing is bizarre, man. And he's going to be sitting pretty because he sold so many shares, you know, Musk is a genius, but the bottom line, he's taken so many people south, it's pretty intense, man, you know, he knew exactly what he was doing selling at 1250, I mean, who's kidding, who? Billions of dollars, make sure you got a couple of billions stashed away, right? You know, just in case, just in case, yeah. So let's go look at the volumes out here and see what we have. So inside the NYSE right now, you're dealing with 704. Okay, so that's gonna get into about 1.1, nothing heavy, but that's an expansion of volume, no doubt.  We go to the spy, we take a look at the spy. Spy is laying out at 83. Yeah, we went higher yesterday with 63, no, at 83. We're at 84 now. Bottom line, the spy will throw in 100 million shares. And what you have, that's, you've already dug into the bar at 395. So I expect what you're gonna see out here tomorrow is that tomorrow what you are gonna see is that we are gonna go after the B point of an ABC structure down. And it couldn't be a worse time to do it, meaning that you have two days. That's intense, man. You know, we take a look at the cues. Wow, the cues, one second. Okay, so the cues are at 64. We did 62 yesterday. It's coming into same deal, man. Okay, so the cues, the high over the low is 295.  And, you know, we'll see what kind of volume we got. You're gonna need 120 million as you break or get into the 284 in order to have a confirmed ABC structure on the way down. So remember, something that ABC structures, the way they work, is that you, we're talking about ABC down.  That's, and when you take out the B point, you have to have a higher volume than the B point. Something that to understand if you're not used to the ABCs is this. The A to B point, the first point down, is a straight line move. The B to C normally drives everyone crazy because it's all over the place. In a bad market, which we have, it only lasts a couple days. That's what we've, these ABC structures on the way down haven't lasted at all. Meaning there's no counter-trend bounce. And when you have that, it's a huge problem because what ends up happening then is that you have more power on the next leg down. And the next leg down, of course, is the C to D.  Let me see this for a second. Oh, this is interesting. Okay, so hey, listen, man. So we have the weekly option expiration and the monthly option expiration this Friday. So bottom line, folks, is that you better buckle up, man. This is not cool at all. You know, this is, yeah, this is definitely not cool. This is some destruction that's coming down the pike. Let's go to the GDX. See what we got? No, I know, we gotta go to the dollar, man. The dollar just won't give it up. And if you heard Teddy Keg stack this morning on Tommy's show, and Teddy's a great analyst, folks.  And what has happened, this is another one day wonder from yesterday. So what ended up happening yesterday, it got back inside, you know, that 103, 747. What ends up happening today? It jumps right outside it again. And when this jumps outside it, man, the bottom line is that you have 121 that is opened to get hit. And that will just throw wrenches in everything, man.  Do you know what I mean? They're always different things that are hitting it. But at this particular point here, it's like, oh, you know, this is something that is hitting that market. Meaning the high dollar. Now what happens is this, when it's a high dollar, of course, we can buy goods overseas a lot less money. That being said though, what ends up happening is that because we're in a one world currency deal, okay, what happens is that it hurts earnings in a monster way. Because of course there's, these larger companies make money a lot more than just in the United States. So when you try to do the currency and, you know, the bottom line is that you're outside of the United States, it's a real problem. Stay right there, folks, we'll come right back.

Dow is up 12-16, Nasdaq's up 581, S&P's are up 171. And this is, I know there's only 11 minutes left here. Folks, actually six minutes, but you're gonna see a little downdraft here again. They're gonna throw it at the futures market first. When you get a day like this, the spikes are pretty brutal coming into the close. So we'll see where this baby shakes out. And as I said, you definitely wanna watch these B points tomorrow. Because this is the cool thing about an ABC structure down are up folks, okay? Is that, you know, we're speculators, okay? So, you know, they don't always work, but they're very consistent and you actually know what the price projection is before they get there. So what I've found is this, there's two different ways. You can either, if you're making money in them, the bottom line is that you know where to take your money and you know, they really work well there. Or if you're inequities or in futures, whatever you're in, and you know what the ABC structure is, it doesn't mean it's gonna get there.  And it's important to do that. And that's where I've seen that an ABC structure can help you in a dramatic way. Because when you have large ABC structures down, you should be asking yourself, can I take that heat and do I wanna take that heat? And most of the time, what happens is this. You'll have the ABC structure, let's say if it's down, you know what's going there. Well, you don't know, the production's there.  You know, that will happen the first year, year and a half that you do this. After you get them down, guess what? I don't screw with them at all, I mean at all. It's like, because they've been consistent enough in my lifetime that it's like, okay, I don't care if it goes back up, I'm not gonna take that heat on the way down because all of a sudden I have a dollar here. And then if it goes where it's supposed to, I have 70 cents, I'm gonna say, I want a dollar, I don't want 70 cents. Always remember folks, the bank and claw your hat out, the bull can run you over and thank God, there's always another trade. Health, happiness and prosperity. Have a great night folks, have a safe night. Come back and visit Tommy tomorrow, nine o'clock. He knows where those B points are folks. Have a great one, have a safe one.

I know you felt it. Most everybody has. That chaotic, sickening, uncontrollable, utterly helpless feeling of falling. You've probably dreamt it as a child. The falling dream. You always wake up before a hit, you know, because if you didn't. And perhaps you've known that feeling of falling in reality as well. A dark basement. A dimly lighted stair. An outside stairway. A step. Wet with rain. A slick, wet floor in the bathroom. And no place to hold. A storm door with a glass inset. A teenager in too big a hurry. Every year in the United States, more than a third of a million people go to the hospital with injuries from falls. On simple stairways. In ordinary bathrooms. Through glass doors. In most cases they suffer needlessly. They didn't have to take that tumble that brought on that feeling of falling. A picture of a senseless accident about to happen. A dim basement stair. A missing handrail. And a patterned carpet that can confuse the eye. Hey, look out. Wait a minute. Let's go back. That dangerous fall didn't have to happen. If the victim had done something about that dark stairway, then put light switches at both the top and bottom of the stairs. Install the handrail. Use solid colored carpets instead of that confusing pattern design. Safety around the household is really as easy as that. Yet some people don't seem to understand. For example, a sack that impairs the vision. A wet spot on the stair ahead. Hey, watch out. But let's go back because it didn't have to happen either. A simple precaution like improving traction on the stair surface by adding a skid resistant substance to the paint. Safety around the house isn't really difficult. But you have to think about hazards in advance. Things like a slick floor in the bathroom. No grab bar. Hey, be careful. That didn't have to happen either. Come back. An inexpensive grab bar on the wall. A clean dry floor. Thinking ahead about hazards around the house pays off. Just as ignoring them can hurt. Badly. A glass inset in a storm door. And a teenager in too big a hurry. Hey, slow down. But if we had to do it over again, we'd surely do it differently. With safety glazing in the storm door. Isn't it better that way? The feeling of falling is bad enough when it's only a nightmare. When you get it in reality, you can be badly injured. Crippled or handicapped for life. A third of a million people are in the U.S. every year. What's a little time or money or thought if it can help you prevent accidents around the home? Write the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for information on preventing accidents like these. Do it. You don't have to have that feeling of falling.


rights around our world on broadcasting from our downtown studio in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Moana, Nuiakea. Today, we're looking at significant rights and foreign policy legislation safeguarding human rights in arms exports. Today, we're joining by Sophia. Sophia, thank you so much for coming and speaking with us today. Aloha, Jas. Thank you for having me. What's so important about this issue that we're talking about is this is really the most significant bill in multiple decades focusing on human rights and foreign policy demanding the attention of America and world affairs. Safeguard human rights in arms exports locks the rule of law considerations into existing legal framework of arm exports, controls, and sets practical procedures for implementation and continuing review. Sophia, can you share why is this issue so important in international human rights law? Thank you, Josh. Yes. As you said, this bill is incredibly important. And this issue broadly more broadly is incredibly important for human rights around the world. The United States is one of the largest exporters and providers of weapons and other military equipment around the world. And those weapons can be used in the commission of human rights violations and abuses. It's imperative that the United States take responsibility for its role in these conditions around the world and take every possible measure to ensure that it doesn't become complicit in the perpetuation of human rights abuses and violations. One of the reasons why this bill is so important is because it enshrines into law protections that are currently only a matter of policy. It also expands existing statutory authorities to ensure that not only are weapons in the form of direct assistance but also sales are subject to scrutiny for human rights violations and abuses around the world. It's really crucial and it's so exciting for you to be able to explain this important legislation. Can you share with us a bit about the legislation, what senate number and what house number it is, and where it's at right now in today's world? Sure. So some of the reasons, some of the specific provisions, Josh, that are really important within this bill include an expansion of existing lehi restrictions. These are two laws that affect the State Department and the Defense Department. And they require that we not provide assistance, direct military aid to police and military units abroad that have a record of gross violations of human rights that have gone unaddressed. However, those two laws only apply to direct assistance and not to sales. So the Safeguard Act, if enacted, would apply the same restrictions to sales as well as assistance. It would also improve what's referred to as end-use monitoring. End-use monitoring is an existing process but it's inaccurately named in that it tracks the location and possession of U.S. weapons and military equipment but not actually their use. And so the Safeguard Act would actually require the U.S. government to track human rights abuses committed with such equipment and weapons overseas. In addition, and I mentioned this a little bit earlier, the Safeguard Act would enshrine into law certain aspects of the Biden administration's current conventional arms transfer policy or the CAT policy for short, which require the U.S. government to consider international humanitarian law and international human rights law considerations. And finally, and perhaps most importantly, the Act would increase congressional oversight by requiring periodic reporting to Congress and also require that at any threshold, at any dollar value, any arms sales or assistance to foreign entities with a record of international humanitarian law violations, gross violations of human rights, genocide, and war crimes. It's really important to understand all those elements and why the Safeguard Act is so important. We know that in the Senate, it's in its S-1025 and its HR-1801 in the House. And it's so important to see how this humanitarian law considerations can be put into law and how enshrine human rights going forward. What first inspired you to care about this issue and get involved in campaigning? Thanks, Josh. So I worked with Amnesty International as a member of staff for seven years. And during that time, I had the opportunity to work on a range of international human rights issues. And one of the truths that was evident throughout that time was that the United States, unfortunately, has a role in international human rights violations and abuses around the world through a variety of means and causes. One of those being the provision of weapons and military equipment to actors who have shown that they cannot be trusted not to commit such violations and abuses. And this is why it was incredibly important to me to contribute, however I could, to this fight for the greater realization of human rights around the world. Amnesty International has documented in many countries all over the world the fact that U.S. weapons have been and are being used to commit human rights violations and abuses. No, and it's so important being an Amnesty member, right? It's that model of it's better to light a candle than curse the darkness. And also the inspiration that one individual can really make a difference. We see Peter Benison creating Amnesty while reading the newspaper and complaining about what's happening in another country. But then that aspect that we can all write a letter that we can all share a sense of solidarity and that through coming together in this case is A.I. USA, we can have an impact on national legislation, which then ripples around the world and guarantees really a culture of human rights and rule of law that will then help many people around the planet. Absolutely. When we're looking at Amnesty and when you start sharing that aspect about the impact around the world, it reminds me of the time I was lobbying and when we were Senator Schatz, who was actually co-sponsor of the Safeguard Act, then Sasha was with us from Amnesty UK. And he was able to also say that really US taking a lead on this would then encourage the United Kingdom to follow and then really set up a new standard heading in the right direction when we look at what's so important around arms and what we can do more to make sure that human rights violations do not take place and impact innocent people around the planet. I couldn't agree more, Josh. And I will say that is I think one of the most unique aspects of Amnesty International's contribution to the global movement for human rights. Amnesty International, of course, is the world's largest grassroots human rights organization. And this is a value added that many other organizations are not able to bring to bear. The fact that people all over the world in the United States and elsewhere who have all kinds of jobs and ways of spending their time come together and express, advocate fearlessly for the human rights of both themselves and everyone around the world is incredibly important and impactful. And our leaders, I think, especially in the United States, really need to hear from all of us. It's not just about subject matter experts and PhDs who sit in white towers. It's about everyone. And it's about all of us letting our leaders know that we are paying attention and that we do care and that we demand greater respect and realization of human rights here and abroad. It's true. The way you mentioned just really brings back the memories of being there the evening before connecting with fellow Amnesty passionate volunteers around the country, meeting with people who have been working on this issue for decades. You know, you really see it that someone has been a policy person pointing this out. And all of a sudden then they see in a way that sea of humanity coming together to support what only they thought was important or a smaller group. And I love how you put it that it's not just PhDs. It's not a job. It's a joy for people to come together and to have an impact to be able to really shape our policy. And as we're all standing the next day, then on the stairs, it was so exciting to see everyone energize, leaving those steps. There was that speech by AIUSA president. You can see the executive director Paul sharing his vision, talking about this is really what democracy looks like and why we're all involved. And on this important year where, of course, half of the world will vote and cast their ballot, it was really showing the power of the ballot and what voting rights mean and what we can all do to make a difference to change the direction of our country, but also make sure that the world also remembers that spirit of 1948 remembers why human rights are so crucial in domestic affairs, but also foreign policy too. I couldn't agree more, Josh. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining. It was, as I used to say, it was a beautiful day to fight for human rights. And I know that we had more than 100 folks from all over the country meeting with representatives who serve communities across the 50 United States. And I know that in some of the meetings that I was able to sit in and participate in, we certainly encountered a real sort of refreshed energy and an appreciation for hearing from the constituents who care about human rights, as opposed to career lobbyists who may represent more powerful or moneyed interests, maybe on the other side of some of the issues that we work on. The offices wanted to, were happy to know that their constituents care about the United States and its role in protecting human rights around the world. It is true. You really see Article 20, that Peaceful Assembly and Association and also Article 21, the right to participate in government and free elections. You could really see and feel it in the air when you see everybody getting excited. And so that's really good as we look going forward. One aspect when I thought about the Safeguard Act and really connecting security and human rights, we're trying to explain what this is. I like the example of a bartender who serves an inebriated customer. Governments who are supplying weapons abroad have a secondary responsibility to ensure that they're not used to violate human rights or commit war crimes. Could you maybe expand on that a bit? Certainly. So as I shared before, the United States manufactures and exports weapons at a rate that far outpaces most others in the world. And we have ongoing security relationships with many countries around the world. And those relationships are valuable to those entities abroad. Now, what's important there is that the United States takes responsibility for the devastating impact that these weapons and equipment can have. I mean, many of these items are inherently dangerous. And so it's critical that the United States take every possible step to ensure that this equipment and these weapons are handled responsibly. Now, unfortunately, despite really critical protections that currently exist in the law, there are serious gaps. And we know that because Amnesty International has documented again and again in countries around the world with whom the United States has had long term relationships and the use of these weapons and human rights abuses and violations. And so you would think that the United States would be able to exert its influence for the greater good and for the respect of human rights. And unfortunately, there are many places and many times in which the United States is and has fallen short. And so again, it's just it's critically important that we bolster the protections that we have currently with new and updated and frankly better measures moving forward. And as you mentioned that it did get me thinking there are a couple of examples maybe that we could look at. We could see what happens in Colombia, maybe what happens in Yemen, or also Nigeria. Maybe we could share some examples that brings the words on these pages to life of why this is so important and how human rights can be respected, protected and fulfilled, but also lives can be saved. Yes. So you mentioned a couple of important cases. These are recent cases. In Yemen, Amnesty International identified US made munitions that caused the death of dozens of people in addition to many children. One family lost every child in their family, but one and it's devastating. The impact that these weapons were not used responsibly and and correctly can have on people who just want to live their lives like you and me. In Colombia, in response to peaceful labor organizing, the government used United States produced tear gas and other equipment to violently suppress peaceful protests, resulting in all kinds of horrific injuries up to and including death. Folks have lost their eyes. Folks have experienced horrific injuries that happened using US equipment. In Nigeria, Amnesty International has documented a whole host of incredibly serious human rights violations and abuses by both state and non-state actors, but with regard to United States equipment, there was a clear documentation of a case in which a United States manufactured helicopter was used in the violent suppression of peaceful protests by the Nigerian government. And these are only instances where Amnesty International was able to verify the use of US equipment in particular incidents of human rights abuses and violations. The human rights abuses by each of those three governments, the violations by each of those three governments, are so much beyond just these incidents. They are widespread, they are repetitive, and often they happen with impunity. And as you mentioned, it really does make me think about those stories, right? The one child who said they have no one to play with anymore, when you look at the Yemen example, that they used to have such a full family. And then now that's the only child due to this issue not being enforced and what happened there. And it also brings up what I remember lobbying and going around, we went with a student who created the first Amnesty chapter on her college campus. And she told the story about how this student in Colombia was majoring in pretty much the same issue she was. And that here she's able to organize, create a chapter, do activities. But there in Colombia, that this young woman lost her eye doing the exact same thing that she does here. So we could really see that sense of solidarity between people across borders, understanding that really our language, our common language, is human rights, compassion, courage, and creative ways to have campaigns that make a difference for all of us in the world. When you were able to lobby, are there any exciting stories or aspects of lobbying that jump out at you? And what were you able to do when you returned home to be able to share this experience with others? Well, I will say that being able to show up in person and communicate with another human being face to face, to really tell the story of why these, why provisions like those in the Safeguard Act are so important for protecting real people around the world and why we here care so deeply about doing that. I think is very impactful and it's that human connection and it goes beyond words on a page, although our letters are important and although our sharing our words through social media and through other means are important, that human connection I think really drives home for folks that we care about this, it is important and we will continue to care about this moving forward. It's not just one election cycle or one term in Congress. Another takeaway I have is that there is seemingly broad support for improving the United States way of showing up in the world and in ensuring that we're not contributing to human rights abuses and violations around the world. Most of the meetings that I was able to be a part of and I heard the same from many other amnesty lobbyists were really productive and engaged. I also think that it underscored the importance of two aspects of amnesty's contribution to the human rights movement. First, our people power. As I said, we had more than 100 people out meeting with congressional offices representing communities across the country and I think that can do those constituents speaking to their leaders, speaking to their representatives is incredibly important. I also heard in those meetings a desire for more information. That's really important and it's really fortunate because Amnesty International has a wealth of information, has been documenting human rights violations and abuses including those using US equipment around the world for a very long time and so I was really encouraged to hear from some offices, hey, we'd like to read more about this. Can you share more of the legal analysis and more of the documentation that you all have? I will say after returning home, being able to share that experience with other people who are constituents of some of the leaders that I met with, some of the representatives that I met with, it sort of ignited a renewed sort of passion for engagement among those who weren't able to come with me to DC. It's true. You could see it on our faces as we left. I'll never forget I arrived back here in Hawaii and this young girl saw my bag and I said, I lobby for human rights and she goes, Mom, what does that mean? And I gave her a sticker and actually the bookmark and the mom was great to explain that it's about each citizen standing up for positive social change and making sure that their voice is heard. And in this case, she was like, what are rights? And it was so good that just even that tote bag can start that conversation and as well when I shared all the different amnesty information, especially that button, the button says vote like our human rights depend on it. I think that was a part that was also raised at the annual general meeting where it was that we're building a culture of human rights that is really growing a movement. And it's not just the one election in 2024 and the presidential, but it's at every level at the municipal, at the city hall, at then the state capital, and then in the US Congress, and then as well, all the way up the ballot box too, of course, the White House. And it really does show though how at each level we can all contribute and make a difference. And with the safeguard act, it was so exciting for us to say that the US government must not approve weapons transfers and exports that will be used to commit human rights abuses or violate international humanitarian law, that once again, the US would lead in a positive way and differentiate itself from authoritarian regimes. And that Congress, of course, can play that vital role to enshrine human rights protection in arms exports law. And that the members of our Congress, as we asked them to co-sponsor the bill, push for markups, advocate for the inclusion of provisions in the must pass appropriations and authorization bills. And that's of course important where members from Hawaii sit on those important staff. And that's what's so crucial. What do you see that we can all do going forward for the safeguard act and for human rights to make the US a better place? Before I answer your question, Josh, I do just want to pick up on one thing you shared, you know, that conversation that you had when you returned home to Hawaii and had that discussion about, well, what are rights? What are human rights? And shared that interaction. You know, I think in this time where frankly, United States law and policy and United States interpretations of constitutional law are frankly inadequate to preserve and protect our human rights here in the United States. I think it's ever more important for people to be able to access human rights frameworks as an aspirational and essential means of, you know, living a free and fair life wherever you are from. International human rights frameworks provide much higher standards when it comes to how governments treat us than the US laws often do. Now to turn back to your question moving forward, what we can all do I think is share with our communities and share with our representatives our conviction and commitment to human rights and demand that they reflect that commitment as well. Very important. And, you know, as we look at this in conclusion, weapons in the hands of security forces can easily become instruments of human rights abuses. And in times of armed conflict, convention, military weapons cause harms and deaths to many civilians, unfortunately. And this bill would overhaul the arms sales law to center human rights by ensuring US weapons are on the world, pushes for accountability, enhancing correction oversight on arms sales. And we really want to thank you for sharing just one example of people power coming together from our communities to then make sure that our Congress represents the values and also the visions of what we care about. And as of course we look at the 75th commemoration of the UDHR, we of course look at Article 2021 today to see what's possible. But it's important that we see the interconnection of all of those articles and all of those rights. And one last point that you raised really inspired me because we do have to understand that no country is immune to really populism and seeing a potential retreat in human rights. And that's why when Eleanor Roosevelt was chairing the commission on human rights to create this Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the subsequent nine treaties, it's to make sure that if any country stumbles, there's still a global standard that we don't allow ourselves to fall below and that we all can utilize these human rights weapons to help ourselves in our countries to make sure our country can be everything that we desire for it to be in this democracy for global diplomacy and for a world that guarantees equality and equity for all. Well said, Josh. Mahalo. I really thank you so much for joining us today and we appreciate all the work that you do and look forward to continuing these important dialogues and discussions for a better human rights in our world. Thank you so much for joining us. Aloha.


All right welcome back to Steps of Freedom. Thank you. We're back. We are back Last week we started talking about renewing the mind I look at the miracle list and I naturally want to break it up into parts So the first part It's kind of some inner inner introspection You have to look inward. Who do I need to forgive? You know, how do I feel about myself? How did I treat my parents when I was young? I Got a deal with that and then What are these negative thoughts that I keep having on a regular basis? We are not allowed as Christians. We are not allowed. We're not permitted the privilege or if are the right I'll say that the legal right to hold on to unforgiveness Okay, we do not it'll make you sick Not just sick in your mind. It'll make your body sick.  We'd have fewer sick Christians, right?  You can't nitpick yourself Father does not nitpick you. He doesn't criticize you He does not have a long list of do's and don'ts For you to follow to be accepted by him Okay Contrary to what some churches teach actually all of God's wrath about sin Landed where on the cross That's right. It's not landing on you. It's not coming to you Will you be judge? Yeah, you'll be judge at the end Not now The bad if the bad things are happening in your life. It's not because God It's because of you. It's because of the enemy. It's because of the people.  You'll have an autoimmune disease Okay, you'll be sick and there's a lot of them hundreds of autoimmune diseases hundreds I Know somebody right now that has something about the dry mouth. That's a really dry mouth and I know this person well and They have spoken a lot of negativity out of their mouth Complaining envy I've heard it said the envy will break the teeth Huh and the bones to yeah The bones Which I guess that's teeth teeth is related to the bones, right?  Has it been fine? No, it's been a mess. Okay. Why how did you act when you were 16?  And if you did Says you have brought a curse You need to go back and for you know apologize Gotta apologize And Then number four is about the negative thoughts that you have in your mind Chronic negative thoughts is going to bring about what? Depression what else fear? Yeah here Mental health issues absolutely 100% negative thoughts. That's what planospearce is all about is All about what goes on between your two years your thoughts And if you're if you're constantly negative and criticizing yourself and complaining and and all of that Yeah, you're gonna end up with a mental illness. So the first Four items on the miracle list are covering those four things and now you have The next section renew your mind last week we talked about some chapters and John and Matthew Right, and hopefully you've been reading over those Keep going keep reading them Maybe it'll click what does it mean to abide What does that really mean to abide What does it really mean to ask whatever and my name and it shall be done? How do we get to that place? It's all about what you believe Yeah Yeah Mm-hmm Right and we know belief is so important Jesus in his hometown. He could not do it says many miracles why Because of his problem. No because of their They're on belief It astounds me that Jesus could not do something What it's honest it says he couldn't do it Yeah, everybody's got a free will You get to choose how to use it, right? You have the freedom to use it, but I'm telling you if you want to Operate as a Christian and want the benefits of the Christian life or certain things you just have to tell your free will No, I'm not doing that So this next section is about renewing the mind. Okay, the first one's overcoming rejection. It's really overcoming childhood rejection and You know, it's talking about what happens before child's born in childhood and then how does that manifest in a person's life? Yes, it's long. I know it's long Just I don't drive to work and listen to it. You don't have to watch it. I Mean I would watch the first half an hour 45 minutes to answer the questions in the in the workbook But the rest of it just listen Get to the end Be someplace private In your car and the park at home and you know if you got a bunch of family members at home You got to go someplace else Listen to the deliverance service after Okay Listen to it There's a story. I'll share with you. Why how important it is to listen to that portion of the video I was working with a guy a couple weeks ago and he was telling me a story about He's a carnal Christian. Maybe he changed his ways now. I hope so. How's my goal? But he's living with his girlfriend and She just recently learned about deliverance Okay, and so He's asleep next to her and she's got the laptop open watching brother Mike. I Don't know what part she was that maybe they were like come out in Jesus name. I don't know He's sleeping next to her and he's telling me about a dream he has There's a dream. He's in his house with his son and there's this like lizard man reptile type Person he's like, I think it was a demon And he goes and I said in my dream this house we stand for Jesus And he had to say it a couple times and then the thing left He wakes up and he slams the laptop shut Well the next morning and yells something at her next morning. She tells him Well, you know, I was listening to this man speak about Demons and deliverance and he then shares the dream So he came in to see me. He says I think maybe I might have it You know a demon, maybe I go maybe you live with your girlfriend. Okay? Maybe got a few in there Yeah, I explained to him.  He never he never even been to a service He never even watched one of Mike's teachings his girlfriend just told him about it and he had that dream He became a believer and then he came in So look listen to it Okay, it might stir some stuff up in you then you know, it's still in there And then you can deal with it. You can't deal with it if you don't know if it's there, right? So are you still have a question? Oh sure saying that The demons are in your soul and not your spirit. Oh, yes, ma'am. Absolutely. So I Think it's on one of them. It asks whether the five parts of the human so The Bible describes the inner man And of course we know about the body so the inner man being the heart and the spirit, right? well years ago Mike Smith the guy who started this ministry. I got a revelation from the Lord that the the heart or Or the mind and the the heart the soul are two different things So the mind Right, you process information in your mind and it's stored in the brain the body and then your soul is Where your emotions are your spirit is separate. That's where the Holy Spirit is And no no demonic spirits can get in there That's what's born again. That's what's new Okay, thanks, she's taking over my she's taking over my Bible study, okay I know I appreciate you Yeah, so that's absolutely your spirit man. That's what saved that's what's Brand new that's what's you know new creation, right? You're perfect there and no spirit can get no evil spirit can get in there But we know we can be afflicted in our body That's not born again. My soul. Oh goodness. No, it's a lot better than it was Right, so thanks for asking that question. That was good anxiety disorders That was my struggle for my life for almost 20 years that's 20 years of my life and It's they're here They're in the mind Even though you feel it in your body, you're like, but I feel it and I would I felt it here Okay, Mike always will point right here to fear He'll grab the bridge of your nose and he'll point right here and say that's where the fear is I had I've had COVID twice now the first time I had COVID was I guess 21 yeah a year ago January this last January a year before and after I had that virus or whatever it is I Was losing hair Clumps of hair and That morning it was ministry training and it was going on for for a couple weeks I'd say I was having clumps of hair and then I would comb my hair out and more clumps would come out So I remember ministry training of sitting right back there, and he's like okay Does anybody you know need prayer for anything and I I just said I think I adjusted in my seat And I remembered my hair falling out and I got up and I felt a little dizzy And I came forward and I said I'm losing my hair and he said that's a fear spirit And he pointed you know how he does it I I started crying and It's actually on YouTube you just do the back of me, but it was like this Sneeze cough it's the only way I can describe it coming out It was this anxiety a sneeze cough. You know what I mean? Yeah, I know some of you've experienced that before It's like that the same sneezing and coughing at this. It's uncomfortable. I Washed my hair the next day No, excuse me. I I did two more days I didn't wash my head the next day because I'm like I'm gonna see if it really happened because you know ladies You wash your hair and a lot of hair comes out like if you have long hair, especially I'm like I'm gonna wait two days Hardly anything came out. It stopped immediately Immediately Yeah, so and now my hair is back. I'm so happy It was getting really thin it's getting really thin it's my glory Okay anxiety mental illnesses seminar there's part one. I think there's four parts So if that's something you're interested in something you struggle with Go there, you know Mike One of his very first cases with a was a guy with schizophrenia His name is Nick Grimsman. He's running for city councilman right now I Districate I think there's something I don't know. I think it is yeah Nick Grimsman He's the one who told me to come and see Mike. He did my first deliverance Nick did Yeah, he was really sick. He tried to kill himself. I think nine times. I Believe that's what his book says. Yes. Yeah, the CD called them.  I love I have that CD still It's one of his first ones. It's intense No, I'll bring you a copy. I have one in Spanish too actually.  Yeah, that's a powerful powerful CD Yeah, he's a friend. He's a good friend of mine Grimsman An Maybe I don't know about that, but he's got Overcoming mental illness is his first book. He's got about five books out right now. Yeah, the father's friends ministry Yeah, that I hate the devil that CD it's powerful if you're dealing with this or You know a lot of confusion in your mind if you're dealing with Arguing with people a lot confusion head-pressure dizziness Forgetfulness.  Yeah Yep, that's a good one So yeah, he introduced me first. Anyway Mike. I believe he's got three documented People who were diagnosed with schizophrenia. They were full-blown schizophrenics and they are now healed Nick is one David Baldwin is the is another Yep So and many many more Baldwin Baldwin David Baldwin. Yeah, he's on our YouTube channel Huh, and we know his wife. He's a good guy. Yeah Oh Good great welcome sister she knows she knows our people Awesome I'll say here my own testimony is I was diagnosed with a clinical depression about 20 years ago and It was two years ago that I trusted the Lord. I was on a lot of medication and I trusted God I believed he was telling me it was get time to get off and Yeah, I did It came at a cost, but then in about 15 minutes of deliverance. I was free from it Yeah, I was on almost 300 milligrams of antidepressant every day The effects are It's very this poison that stuff. It's poison. That's all right. Don't worry about it. I'm not telling you what to do Don't worry about it. Look that is not a cut I would never ever ever tell somebody to get off of their medication. Okay, that they say that that's harder than harrowing to get It is yep And I almost went into a detox center. I was gonna spend $60,000 to do it Oh, I Was this close to calling two friends of mine who you know, they're done very well in their lives But I've been friends with them like over 20 years and I was desperate. I had vertigo so bad That I could not get from the bed to the bathroom without bruising myself I was house sitting for some animals and I was two hours up in the mountains so I was really scared and so I reached out to Mike and I was like telling him all this stuff, right?   I'm like, I can't process what you're saying to me Crying and all that mess and then he just wrote get out now And I ran to the bathroom and I stood over that toilet for about 15 minutes coughing my head off. I read it Read it No, I will say stop and say this one thing that's I think it's not 100 necessary, but it really helps If the person needing deliverance Trust the person doing the deliverance It helps tremendously Yeah For years I know me too me too Oh, yeah And it is really important what we say about other people It's important that we treat people with care and dignity When we're doing deliverance when we are praying for other people Not all ministers take that approach Um, I I think I learned by watching Uh, a good example and a bad example of that And so that's what you see today. I hopefully I emulate emulate more Mike Smith's approach Then the the other You know, we're all in a process of learning so Trust is very important. I trusted him And he it's funny. He gave me first. He gives me the long, you know, Mike doesn't send these long emails And then he wrote me the the quick, you know get out now and that's what did it And uh, I was here Serving 30 days later Yeah, yeah, it was I mean that wasn't it that I wasn't all completely done Believe me a lot of wounds a lot of hurt happened over that length of time So some things are still healing. So this is a really good seminar here.  I don't think that's a yeah, I think it's more of the mind Yes So diabetes is not from what I understand the medical people in the room can correct me, please Is not an auto immune disease. However, it acts very similar to one Hmm. Am I right? It's kind of auto immune because the cells in the pancreas get destroyed that produce insulin. Okay So you now have to inject insulin because your body's not producing it to do metformin Which kind of enhances them to produce a little more. Okay, not all of them are destroyed So it's kind of like self-destruction Exactly. So it has a little bit of auto immune in my opinion. Okay. Yeah Kidney disease Huh? Um, I don't believe it is I'm looking around for people giving me some support right now um, I have heard um, and I understand that um, deep wounds heart Terrible heartbreak is sit trauma sits in the kidneys Bitterness Yeah, bitterness different But you meet people that are loving and have cancer and I think Where where's that bitterness? I don't see it That's great. Um I've met yeah, I've I told the story. I've I've worked with three people with a bone cancer And my first 10 minutes with them.  There's what's causing the cancer That's it. That was it. I know another lady. She's a wonderful beautiful woman from scott stale. She, uh Has done a lot for god. She's a great career She's a big giver. She's volunteer.  Why did you have to take him from me? I'm like, that's it. That's the problem I'm my great pet You know, you got to let it go. You got to let it go And she wouldn't do it She she didn't but I do this for god and I do that for god and I and I I I'm like, whoo I'm like, look, I explained it to you and I pray for you But the other woman who had bone and breast cancer Who was losing her mind? cried a river and continues to cry a river in Repentance and guess what her pescan says zero cancer zero cancer She's getting her life back she's getting her mind back She's getting relationships back with her her daughter and her grandchildren. I mean she's 77 years old Renju and I went to her home did the first one. We walked into the room. She starts upchucking. I was like, whoa She was ready She was ready. She had enough of her own mind to know she was out of her mind Yeah, she had enough And um, god bless her caregiver who set the whole thing up and stay still calm and As far as I know she's still getting deliverance She's still pressing through. Yeah Yeah, I think she's dealing with some, you know mental.  I forgive you I release you in the name of Jesus. I bless you. They're dead, but she's writing them out Crying guess what those tears are healing her healing her Nothing escapes The lord's view he sees it all You may have forgotten But he has not forgotten And he doesn't remember it because he wants a point And say you did this no He wants he sees it and remembers it because he wants to point at it and go, I want to heal you right there Give it to me Give it to me That's what I want next What does he want next from you? You're holding on to something You may not even know what it is. You may not know why you're holding on to it You may feel like you have a right to hold on to it Just let it go All right, let it go I mean, okay, and then the last one is miracle blockers, which I didn't write anything up for that But that's the last video. Uh, it's excellent Um I don't know if it's that oh autoimmune disease too. He does talk about it in the miracle blockers Um If you don't forgive yourself Everybody is an epic failure in life We all have made a ton of mistakes If you don't forgive yourself You will fall into a state of victimization type We call that self pity You will never receive anything from god if you remain in a state of self pity That will block your miracles For the rest of your life No, we're not allowed to do that. I wish it was preach from the pulpit Stop self pity We can't we can't do that Yeah, these are the lists of things you can't do the list of laws You can't hold on to other forgiveness.  You got to take responsibility, right? It's not a bunch of do's and don'ts like don't lie and don't cuss and don't smoke and don't drink Of course, don't do those things, but Really what god cares about is your heart It's your heart so So those are those videos and then there are over 300 youtube teachings Mike's got over 300 of them. So check them out. It's under the house of healing easy All right I don't know I don't know if you need to write that down. I think everybody's pretty much got That in there All right, so um Do you have I have a question yes Thank you. There's such as yourself in other states that are doing this because there's such a need Yeah, um We're we're unique, but we're not So unique that it's not happening in other places, right? So there are deliverance ministries In lots of different states That I know about from here. I know there's a group in kansas I know there's a group in new york I know there's um Tennessee I know about one who's connected to us. I don't know But we have phone ministers that will take phone calls in different parts of the country Mm-hmm We do see people come from all over the country and sometimes the world will come right here because they They look for It I don't know the it factor they look for what we're doing here and they can't exactly find it Yeah, they find us on youtube, right and they go to their churches and they They don't they don't know what to do. So that's a good question. I wish we had like a little map and I'm from chicago and one of my good friend goes to a huge church and I says You know, you have a deliverance team and there she's like what? What's that I think I I would guess most christians Were like I was I didn't know I didn't believe I was taught that i'm a christian so I cannot have Spirits and myself Yeah, and that's so wrong. It's so wrong. Yeah um And so i'm I thank god for the now understand the full gospel Right he preached the word he healed the sick. He's cast out demons the full gospel It's not talking about the gifts of the spirit the five fold ministry. Okay, that's good. But what about the full gospel? Right, so um That's a good question and yeah We're growing here even though it's been here a long time Mike's been doing this thing and we have more ministers probably than Most of the time it's been the last five or six years that he's really grown in this building So, um, there's a lot of things that can grow. Yes Doesn't mike have the vision about an international he does. Yes. He got a prophecy actually it was Yeah, the international deliverance center. Yeah, that's the third phase He was given a prophecy a very long time ago. I think it was confirmed I'm probably going to get the number wrong, but it's confirmed. I think seven times A one person just walked in off the street had a bike with him and just can't god said this and It just was confirmed to confirm confirmed and so this is phase two Of that Yeah, well, I mean people come here, but we do phone and then there's zoom I mean, there's people from different countries on rick's zoom Right, just son of me email He does his facebook. That's his ministry facebook. Yeah in 2015 and I was having a bad period He just Email me like how's it going? Oh, and I was like, how did he know? You know, it just really shocked me. He's like so personal like that And I think also it must be led by the spirit of course, but it's just really been a blessing Yeah, he's a blessing. He's a blessing. So send him that email and just say thanks for the miracle list Don't send him a whole paragraph No, your homework is the video. Okay, uh, so you're gonna get into thank you very much. Thanks for watching


Our third inductee is Fran Fiddler. Fran has spent 20 years as the administrative assistant for the athletic department, starting on the Greenspring campus. During that time she has worked with and gotten to know hundreds of Mustang student athletes and worked with virtually every athletic staff member at Villa Julie and Stevenson. In the athletic department the front porch is Fran. Any time anyone had called the university or touched base, whether it was vendors, whether it was people that we worked with, it was other schools, whether it was recruits, whether it was a candidate for the position, Fran was the front door. And immediately our success in recruiting talent and also retaining talent has been due to her warm, loving and nurturing Stevenson University way about her. It's hard to look at the university's athletic department and not see the comfort and community and love that she has for the institution. And it's not just recruits, we've had 10,000 alumni in the athletic department over 22 years. Venture to say that every one of our student athletes have benefited from Fran and all know Ms. Fran. She is Stevenson University's athletics. If family and athletics are synonymous, then Ms. Fran is the mother to our athletic department. She was the one that everyone went to, good news, bad news, funny news. And she was the person that we wanted to share our lives with. Of all the values of the Hall of Fame and the people inducted in the Hall of Fame, Ms. Fran embodies all of those values. She has been a cornerstone of our athletic department. She has been a foundation for me that I've been able to lean on both administratively and personally. If the Hall of Fame means a great value and a great contribution to the institution, both past and present, Ms. Fran is a Hall of Fame superstar. It is my honor to welcome Fran Fiddler into the Dick Watts Athletic Hall of Fame. Almost rendered speechless, glad I wrote down a few words. Thank you all for this wonderful honor of being inducted into the Dick Watts Athletics Hall of Fame. When I started at then Villa Jolie College in the basement of Knot Hall, with a handful of sports and very few facilities, I had just left a large corporation and I was looking for something part-time and close to home. So it began, a 20-year fondness and love for what has now become my second family. And as I look out in the audience, I see my wonderful first family that I thank for their wonderful love and support. I have met and worked with many outstanding individuals, coaches, staff, esteemed colleagues, and mostly friends over the past 20 years. And the student athletes that I've met and keep in touch with are some of the finest young men and women who represent the best of Stevenson University. So many changes, so much more advanced. How many times did our meager athletics administrative staff, including Chris Ramer, Carol Zimmerman, MC McFadden, and I run concessions, set up for home games, create and print the game program, run the bleachers after a home game, and travel great distances to our various off-site locations for those teams that did not have a home field. I'd like to thank Brett, who hired me when I didn't know the difference between a baseball and a lacrosse ball, especially for his friendship and great work ethic which has made the department a truly marvelous place to work. And throughout the years, thanks to those that have inspired me, made me laugh and cry, shared stories and confidences. Some of those wonderful people being Dick Watts, Chris Ramer, MC, Paul Canabine, Gary Story, Graham Miller, Melissa Button, Jackie Boswell, Matt Grimm, Kathy Riley, and if I have forgotten anybody in the department, please forgive me, but you are all wonderful people to me. The growth of the department is indicative of the foresight of a forward-thinking group of individuals that have made Stevenson University a leader in college athletics and a reservoir of quality students. It is with humbled appreciation that I accept this most esteemed honor and I thank you all very, very much.
