URGENT Intelligence Briefing: Threats Facing Your Church Tomorrow

0:00All right, guys, let's talk about what's going on right now. So we obviously have the issue going on in Iran. We're going to fill in over there. And then we're going to talk about how that's affecting us here. Now, that conflict in Iran is continuing to escalate rather than stabilize. We have retaliatory cycles between Iran and us. And it just increases the likelihood of having indirect consequences outside of the Middle East. You have had three major Iranian leaders issue a call for Muslims to attack Americans wherever they are and to attack us in the homeland. They have, I thought I did see something where they did tell Iranian proxies, Hezbollah, to attack Americans here at home. But we haven't seen anything yet. And the biggest problem that we're going to have besides the proxy groups, our biggest threat

1:01is going to be that lone wolf actor. That's the one that I'm worried about tomorrow. It's the demonically possessed, the crazy person that has been watching the news feed and just decides tomorrow's the day. In my heart with everything that I know, I do have a feeling that in the next four weeks, somebody is going to hit a church. Now we've seen two people stopped in the last two weeks with guns and evil in their hearts and with what looks like an intent to shoot up the church. We had one in Sacramento that I reported on and one in Washington, the state of Washington that I reported on. Both instances, church security stopped the person with a handgun ammunition and writings that they were going to shoot up the church. That is the person that I'm worried about. Now in both cases, church security or people acting in that capacity stop the evil doer.

2:05At some point they're going to get through and they're going to do it to a church that doesn't have security or they have the old, oh, we have concealed carriers, that's our plan. I live in Idaho, everybody's got a gun. Yeah, man, everybody's got a gun but not everybody knows how to use it. And now everybody's thought about it. So I do think at some point they're going to get through and I think security you guys are going to continue to stop people before they actually do something. So I wanted to give you a little pep talk. Again, talking about these threats but also talking about your attitude and how you go into tomorrow. And so I know as a sergeant on a SWAT team I would, my men we would go out to go do dangerous things and we would know going out and I would have to tell them that not only do we have to be ready to stop somebody

3:10but we also have to be ready to use a lot of restraint and to have a smile on our face and to avoid having to use our skills at every cost unless we have no choice. And that's kind of what I want to talk to you guys about tomorrow you go into some, the chances of something happening at your church tomorrow is pretty minimal but it's not zero. And I do think that tomorrow I think somebody is going to end up stopping somebody that was going to do evil. We may or may not hear about it because these things don't get publicized. In fact, yesterday I put out an alert in Arizona specifically for Scottsdale and it was beyond the lookout below. There was put out by Scottsdale Police Department and there was a lot of talk that they did not want to pass that out, not the police department but people didn't want to share that information because they don't want to scare people. Well it got sent to me by somebody who was like, hey churches in the area need to know about it. I redacted a bunch of information out of it

4:12so there's no personal identifying information but you have this picture and you have what he wants to do which is he showed up to a church saying he wanted to do harm. According, I talked to the investigator before I put that out yesterday. And the investigator told me that he believes that that guy was going to go do something bad or is going to do something bad in the Scottsdale Phoenix area. He showed up with body armor, he had magazines but no rifle, it doesn't mean he didn't store it somewhere it doesn't have access to it. And it sounds like he had evil in his heart. There was a push to keep that quiet. And I do think there's other incidents around the country that we haven't heard about. So that's three that we've talked about on this broadcast right now of people that were stopped with evil in their heart and a means to do it. How many more happened in the past week? Think about that. We had three in the past seven days. When's the last time we've had that many

5:13in such a short amount of time, not as long as I've been doing this, it hasn't. And so I do think tomorrow is going to be a big day. I think for a majority of us, I think not a lot is going to happen for a majority of us. But for a few of you out there, you have a big day tomorrow. And are you going to be at the top of your game? We also have other issues besides like active shooters, lone wolves, Iranian proxies, right? We also have people that are doing surveillance that are used to tricking you and to make a new paranoid. So we know that a tactic amongst Middle Eastern terrorists is that they will do, they ask believers that if you're not going to go do G-Hod, that we would like you to go out and do suspicious things like take pictures of a church.

6:13So that you draw attention. There's nothing they can do to you. You've done no crime. But it puts everybody on high alert and it gives out false signals. Or they could be doing it righteously to surreal churches. There has been a significant amount in the last seven days. I've heard of at least, I don't know, six, seven incidents of people taking pictures of inside of churches and stuff like that. And that is significantly more than we normally have in a seven day period. We've had several bomb issues where people have placed bombs at churches. Today, we just had in downtown New York City, a G-Hoddy threw a bomb at kind of a Christian nationalist guy down in New York City. So we do have a lot of stuff happening. We also have the cyber issue, the cyber disruptions. But only that, they're targeting places with just cyber fraud and what have you and churches are really weak at that

7:15and we're seeing that at churches specifically quite a bit. So there is no publicly confirmed specific threat to a church right now, but the overall threat environment is elevated because of these geopolitical tensions. I guess we can call it, it's a war. So church security teams should maintain their normal operations, but you should increase awareness for suspicious behavior, any hostile surveillance, unusual photography or individuals conducting reconnaissance around entrances and children's areas. I wanna be perfectly clear with you. If you have that, it needs to be shared. It needs to be, you can send it to me, but I need a police report to go with it, right? So give me a police report to support what you just had. Don't fill my inbox with, like we think we heard this happen. I'm sitting in about 200 emails a day, so help me out. What, there is a lot of churches that are having stuff

8:20happening that are not releasing information because they don't want to embarrass the church. Shame on you, the Bible talks about that that we should be sharing information with each other. Help me out here. The Bible verse about all of us working together, I can't remember it for the life of me, probably because I'm on camera in front of thousands of people. But I know somebody's really good is gonna come up with that Bible verse. But it's making me sad the people that are withholding information. Shame on you. When you have the cyber activity issue, it's tied to Iranian aligned actors and historically it just includes website to basement denial service attacks, attempts to disrupt communication platforms. So churches at livestream or maintain online ministry should just be aware of that. I think every church livestreams at this point, we just want heightened vigilance without panic. So tomorrow when you show up,

9:21I want you to put a happy face on, not see, I see so many guys that want to be serious. Like, look, man, put a smile on your face. Greet everybody as they come in. Love them, but have a plan to defend the church. For my military guys, you remember, I can remember who said it, was it Mattis? Who was have, you know, basically welcome everybody, put a smile on your face, but have a plan to kill them. Okay, don't have a plan to get, well, you could, but in your mind, be ready to just protect the church if you need to, and welcome everybody anyways. The good example is the person that's out in the parking lot that doesn't come inside, and everybody notices it, everybody tells security and you go out there. I want you to remember your part of the ministry. Most of the time when I go out there, it is a person that's ready to come inside. And it's just because they don't know what to do. But they have seen the news, they've seen all the bad things and they wanted to come to church.

10:22And they need help coming in. So use your discernment. You see that that person's not evil. They just don't know what to do. And you held them inside and you give them to your welcoming committee, right? If they have evil in their heart, God will give you discernment to figure that out and you deal with it appropriately. I want to, we're going to answer questions in a minute. Okay, before we do that, it's going to give you a little biblical perspective because everything comes from the Bible. And I want to tell you about my favorite verse in the entire Bible, probably because I was a cop for 30 years and it really has to do with law enforcement more than security, but Rome is 13-4, right? Basically, that passage explains that governing authorities are established by God to restrain evil in society. Okay, in fact, let me pull this up really quick. Second here. Ah.

11:22It says, for he is God's servant for your good, but if you do wrong, be afraid, for if he does not bear the sword in vain, for he is the servant of God, an avenger, who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Now, that is really meant for civil authority when you look at Romans 13 and what Paul is writing. Paul is so awesome. Just have to throw that out there. But when he is explained 13-4, it's more about civil authority, but you can use this too, right? If there is a bad person that comes to your church tomorrow to kill your people, Romans 13-4, baby, you are the sword that is gonna come down and stop all of that. But I want you to do it with a smile on your face before all that, right? Not smile that you're being the sword. Well, you could do that, but I want you to put a smile on your face that you're there to protect God's people. What a great job, right? But yet, you're ready to do action if need be.

12:25All right, I want to open this up to questions. Before you do a question, I need you to say question, colon, and then whatever your question is. So that way, I know like what it is that you're, you know, so I know it's a question, but Ed has a great one in here, Ezekiel 33-6, I love it. But if the watchman sees a sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood, I will require the watchman's hand. That is for all, thank you, Ed, that was exactly what I was thinking of. There are people that are not releasing information that we can all learn from. And all I can think of is Ezekiel 33-6. We're required to. I don't know why we don't. Kent with Neomyah 415,

13:27when our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall each to our own work. How many of your churches are not going to get hit tomorrow because you have church safety ministries, church security team, whatever you guys want to call it, Guardians, Watchmen, whatever, it doesn't matter. And how many of you are not going to have a problem tomorrow? Because of that. Crusader 009, I see you all the time, brother. Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet. James, Mad Dog, Madness, I knew it was Madness, that's what I had it right. Retired EMTP, that would be our paramedic question. Have you seen any warning for deep South Texas in response to the Mexican cartel activity? I am really worried about the Mexican cartels. I'm glad you brought this up, bro. All right. So I actually had a newsletter before this. It was cartel watch.

14:28And I wrote about the cartels and what they were doing. I actually taught classes to the military and to civilian law enforcement on cartels. And I still keep in touch. I can tell you right now, the cartel members have said that if the military comes after them, meaning the American military comes after them, that they are going to go to war against America because they know they're going to die. So they're all in. And they are going to start attack. I think it's mainly going to be law enforcement. The thing that worries me though, with the cartels, they used to leave, they used to leave everybody alone or not everybody, but they used to leave the, when I say everybody, I was thinking in my mind, the priests. The priests and the pastors, they left alone. Even gang members, I would watch the Mormons go out and go door to door. And even the gang members would leave those guys alone.

15:30And that has changed. They are killing priests now. And when they started doing that a couple of years ago, that really made me nervous because that was an operational change. That I had not seen with them before. And that told me they were willing to do that stuff here. Now they do bring violence over on this side of the border daily, but it's usually against other cartel members. But there is like Phoenix. I mean, I think they were having like a kidnapping a day over there, but it was all cartel related, not like us, regular people. So just be careful. All right. Nobody has questions tomorrow. I let me tell you about my load up. Just in case there are questions tomorrow. I wanna tell you about my load out. I can't do this one on YouTube. I'm gonna do a separate live for YouTube because I'm on probation or parole with YouTube right now. My load out for tomorrow. Why do you guys have guns that are too small for what we're doing, right? You should have a mid size to a full size auto, okay?

16:34So this is what I am taking with me. Tomorrow, this is my duty gun I wear every day. I wear it every day. Just my wife and I went on to walk and this is what I carry. It's a Glock 45. It is a full size auto. I've got a light on it. I've got an optic. Why do I carry a big one? Because I was lucky enough to train narcotics detectives all over the world, specifically mainly United States. And these guys are undercover and they would carry small guns when they're buying drugs. And then they would get in a shootout. And I would always ask in the class who's been in a shootout undercover. There's always at least one in every class. And I would ask what gun did you have? Glock 43X, snub nose revolver, a 380. It was always something super small, totally inadequate. And I would say, what do you carry now? All of them. Glock 17, which is like big gun. The Glock, a Sig 226, Sig 320. It was always a full size gun.

17:36And what I learned from every one of them was after the shootout, I realized that I wanted to carry a big gun. If you, if I told you, or if you didn't know anything was gonna happen tomorrow, somebody's gonna carry some small gun because it's comfortable and I could hide it. But if I told you you're gonna get in a gun fight tomorrow with a terrorist, what are you gonna carry? You're gonna carry that. I don't care if you carry that. I don't care if you carry a 2011. I don't think it's as good. Carry a big gun, okay? Yeah, don't carry the retired EMTP. Don't carry a 320. We did tell you on Christian Warrior that we don't allow 320s. They're horrible. I love them. I want to love them, but unfortunately they have some problems. Brian has a question, would you consider coming to the Northeast to do your in-person training in the near future? Okay, so I have some medical problems that keep me from doing a lot of stuff. So I'm down to four presentations a year.

18:39The Colorado Springs one got canceled. I was kind of sad about that. We are trying to keep it going. I don't know if it's gonna happen or not. To be honest, I did promise to go to Florida in South Carolina area also this year. I may end up going to Illinois. I that came up the other day. The Northeast, man. No offense. I'm trying to avoid certain areas of the country. Maybe we'll keep it open. No offense to my Northeast nerds. I just read this from Dr. Fred. I just read the White House has blocked intelligence agencies for morning law enforcement about new tear threats due to the war with Iran. If you read that and why would the White House do that? I'm here to tell you that they block information from coming to law enforcement routinely. Because if they bring it to law enforcement, so civilian law enforcement, you're municipal in state.

19:42We don't have secret, top secret. We don't have any of that. And so I know there were times that I was working a case. There was cartel case. And the DEA people, their status on it was secret. Well, we don't have those classifications. Now, some of us still hold secret and top secret clearances, but we don't have that in law enforcement. And so they won't share information with us because we don't have that clearance and the information is titled top secret or secret. And so we don't get it. It's just stupid. The whole federal system, they label, if you guys know this, but they label everything as secret, everything. And it's so that they don't have to show it to anybody. And I think it's abused. And so we never hear about it. They don't share anything with us. I do hear about stuff. I hear about stuff because I have friends that work in JTTF. I have friends that work on that. Because I trained so many people and so many of them are believers in the, I'll give you an example.

20:42My Bible study, I shared it to my drug intelligence bolts and drug intelligence boltin.com is run by me. I really don't post there anymore because I'm one out of that world, the cop world. And I launched that to 20,000 people, the Bible study for warriors, which make sure you guys sign up for that. It's Christian WarriorBiblesaie.com. We're doing that every Sunday. So when it'll come out tomorrow. And the minute I put that out, I got tons of messages like within a minute and putting that out from cops saying, I had no idea you were Christian. Or I had no idea you were doing that. And then now it's even more information than I'm getting from other people. Because they're upset that there's no sharing of information. Jeffrey Ramirez asks, go ahead and throw all your questions in there guys. It's not often that you get me on a live all day or whatever you want. It doesn't matter. This is Jeffrey, hello Keith. I had a question, our security team just had a meeting

21:44discussing Connergan's wine to take pictures with our over security on the outside. We agreed that it's not a good idea for safety, but I just wanted to get your perspective on that. Is it a concern or just something to overlook? I wouldn't worry about it, man. Like as a cop, people want to take pictures with you all the time. I think that's cool, like be good with it. People want to take pictures with you guys. They're not, if you use some discernment, if you think evils in their heart just say it like make an excuse and walk away. But like most of the people are just like grandmas and grandpas are like, oh look at my church is doing it right. And they want to take a picture and they post it up whatever man some terrorists can drive by and see you. Personally, I think it's an added benefit. They're not going to hit you because you have over security outside. Why would they come after you? So Jeffrey, I wouldn't worry about it. I think it's fine. Don't get too hung up on it. Johnny says I put the shield, put away the shield recently. If it used in the G19, good for you brother. That's exactly what we want to see. I don't care if you buy Smith and Wesson.

22:46I don't care if you buy Glock. Walter, the PDP. They make some great guns out there. Always carry, I am telling you right now, this is the gun that I take with me everywhere. And I, because if something were to happen, I want to have a good gun with me. It is, I don't dress to impress. All right, I'm just looking for questions. Go ahead, I like this. I tell my guys, nobody ever sends someone back to the rig for a smaller gun or less ammo. It's true. Be our Miller, the 6226. Yeah, I like that. That's my first gun, it's right. There you go, I got a 6226 right there. That was my first duty gun, it's actually, I had a Model 19, but M9's good. What's going on with Colorado Springs for Dan?

23:46All right, so Colonel Grossman's group will prove warship had set up something for Colorado Springs. It got canceled because there was some personnel, just reshuffling in there. And so it got canceled. So it was canceled for a good reason that I probably shouldn't say to thousands of people, but it was for a good reason. There is somebody trying to move in, rights of bears moving in, trying to figure out if they can salvage it. So the other problem is it came up at the same time as another larger church security conference. And so we had that going on at the same time. Where do I plan on visiting in Florida? I don't know, rights of bears actually setting it up for me. They had something really just comes down to time. Paul Hill, thank you for all you do for us at church as security, you're welcome. I love all the, I love this audience.

24:48You guys are awesome, all the appreciation. Thank you. We live in a time that I never expected the enemy is prowling, does not care about us. My daily is an FNS nine, because it shoots very well and it has a high cap mag 17 rounds, that's awesome. Brian, no offense taken. I wouldn't expect you to come to New York. I wouldn't come to you if you were in driving distance. We got to figure out where that is. 500 viewers, wait till I go to YouTube. I can't do certain things on YouTube and talk about certain things on YouTube, but I wish everybody would come here from YouTube. There's 225,000 people on YouTube in 70,000 here, a more need to come here. Ohio would welcome you. I want to go to Ohio. It's one of the few states I haven't been to in the US. We were talking, Albert was talking about Wisconsin. We're welcome, you know, that came up. We were talking about that. Any questions? How many rounds do you carry from Michael?

25:51Our church security is limited to 10 round mags and Massachusetts. Sorry, carry 41 rounds every day, Glock 19. So I would carry a minimum of two mags. Well, let me back up. So I carry one extra mag with me on a regular date tomorrow. I hope you're watching on a big screen. Hold on here. Give me just a second here. If you're watching on a big screen, good for you. This is what I'm carrying tomorrow. This is just a messenger bag. I can put a link for it in the comments. So you guys can see it. It's not going to come in the comments right now, but in the replay, you'll guys get an email on it. So in this, I'll carry three magazines, a flashbang, screening smoke, an eye fac, and then this.

26:51And this is a 300 blackout. I carry four extra magazines for this and it has a body armor panel inside of it. I've talked about, I did this in my PDW video, but it got taken down by YouTube, unfortunately. YouTube, that's where my strike came from was profiling that guns and others. So tomorrow when I go to church, or I have my homework bag with me, I am going to abide by the rules of the church. Our church is not allow rifles. So that's a pistol. And I'm still abiding by it. Safety ministry is doesn't allow rifles at this time or any kind of SBR or anything like that. So I'm just carrying it to go to church tomorrow and I'll just be in the audience. And I'll be like that for probably the next eight weeks or so.

27:51Remember to put a question in front of it, just so that way it makes it easier for me to look into the comments. So I'm in New Jersey. I currently have AOR, Trinidad's on retainer, but I saw you don't like them anymore. I never really liked them. I think AOR is fine for where you're at. I don't think they're, I don't get, how do I say this? Because they're going to call me. Every time I say something bad about AOR, the president calls me later. He forgets that we've talked before. All right. So AOR is fine. Fine, it's like when your wife gets mad at you, I'm fine. It's like that. It's fine, right? I think of you in New Jersey. It's fine, right? It just sucks that New Jersey and Washington and was the other one in New York that they do that to you. Now, right to bear, we'll cover you if you don't live there, but you are there and get into a shooting.

28:51Just some stuff with AOR, there's some stuff with the president, and I'll let you Google it and figure it out yourself. Langley Outdoors did a thing on them. You can see some stuff that he has set in the past that I just don't agree with as an American. And I don't know if it's true or not, but it came from people that like Langley Outdoors, they have no reason to lie and they did a pretty good outline on it. But you live in New Jersey, so you need help, so I think it's fine. Washington, I do think that you're going to have some options here pretty quickly. Really, so for Leonard and New Jersey, you don't have a lot of options, but I think that one is fine. Let me see here. Sorry, what holster brands do you prefer?

29:55All right, so I like Safari Land, but that's more of a duty holster. Man, I don't know. When I get in front of a bunch of people, I forget. I'm trying to remember the name of the holster, I normally use. G-code makes some really good stuff too. Two Rex Arms is fine. When I'm working, working, I end up using a Safari Land level two, because I don't want to have just kydex like when I'm, I did a video on this, but I don't want to get into a fight where that just, you know, somebody can just grab that, that's pretty weak. So, Gordon, 10 millimeter. I do carry a 10 millimeter sometimes. I carry a Glock 20, sometimes when I feel spicy, everybody talking about their guns, love it. Dan, if you can't go to Colorado Springs, go to FBSN.

30:56Maybe FBSN won't bite me one day. Question, I'm not on a security team, should I carry? 100%, everybody should carry. If you have the right in the ability and the training, I suggest everybody, everybody, carry right now, all the time anyways, but Michael, thank you. I appreciate the kind words. Thank you, New York FB, I appreciate you too. Just looking for questions. If you would like to present a course in the South Texas Hill Country, I can secure our church in New Braunfels, I might do that, because I got a lot of friends that moved to Texas. Question, other than you in Right to Bear, where can we find out about church security conferences? So, there's FBSN, the FAPA security network. They're okay, I wish they would do more,

31:57because they kind of make it like we're an association, and I would like them to see more than just the conference every year, but they do have good speakers at the conference. FBSN is pretty good. Joe Morrell, thank you for keeping us up to date. Enjoyed meeting you in Burleson. It's nice meeting you too, brother. Burleson was fun. Nice area. If I was not in Idaho, I'd probably be in Wyoming, and if I was in Wyoming, I'd be in Texas. We're Tennessee. What flashbang do you recommend for civilians? What's the name of that? It's something international. Guys, I've told you guys what it was before. IWA, here you go. I think it's, let me just look it up. I'm gonna give you a website, IWA International. Think that's it. Nope, that wasn't it.

32:57Trying to find the website for you. Here we go. So here's how it works. I'm gonna give you the link here in the, look in the chat, okay? So IWA International sells flashbangs, door breaching equipment, smoke, and all that stuff. The flashbangs, man, I buy them because I can't get good ones anymore because I'm not on SWAT anymore. I've thrown a couple of them, and I wear gloves when I wear them. I had one the other day, I threw for a video. You know, it's got a primer on the spoon. When the spoon came off, private ignited. It tore my mechanics gloves. So think about what we can't, like for those, like all UGWAT veterans, I was wearing mechanics gloves. It split it, it burned a hole through it. So if I wasn't wearing gloves, I think I probably would have a decent second degree burn on my finger. So I personally, I hate it, but it's better than having nothing. I just, I think that primer on the spoon design is horrible.

34:00But you don't have any other choices. They're gonna make you take a test. They're gonna, to buy them, you need to have some certification for explosives. So you're gonna take that test. I'll give you a hint, just open up ChatGPT and then cut and paste a question, and then it'll give you the answer each time. And then you can breeze through it, go buy them. Once you have the, once you have that card from them, you can buy from them all the time. So you're fine. Question, what round were you using in the Jackal 300 Blackout video? I'm mistakenly bought 200 grade subsonic, which wouldn't cycle. Yeah. So I use a Hornet de Tap Round and it's, I think it's like 140 grain, something like that. It's really light. I use hypersonic. I don't use subsonic rounds, because I'm not using a suppressor. I'm just, I'm using, because I want a, I want a 30-cal projectile going down range and swacking that guy.

35:03Oh yeah, Benjamin, you're right. So those who are watching in non-freedom-loving states, careful carrying a kit like this, you're absolutely right. I don't want you to get in trouble. Make sure you bay all the laws in your area. Which 300 Black are you carrying? For the rifle, I'm having a hard time really, I want to take the Jackal, but I'm having a hard time concealing it in the bag I have, because of the muzzle device, so I have another muzzle device on order. So right now, I'm using, I've got a, maximum PD, PDW that I'm using. Lakeland, Florida. Question for your 300 Black out. Supersonic or subsonic, we want sup supersonic. I'm using 300 Black out, because I'm using seven inch barreled AR platform guns, and if you do that in a 556, the round is not that great. It has some performance issues, but 300 Black out, I can shoot five and seven inch barrels,

36:04and it performs just fine, as long as you don't use subsonic. Donald, I like the way you skirt the rules. I do my best. Brian, we have almost 40 people in a church security network with all different denominations. I love that. Guys, I'm, we, I noticed that FBSN, FB, ISO, that's another good group is, they don't have a conference, but I do believe every one of you should join the FB, ISO, they call the ISO. There's a lot of good intelligence coming out of there. It's not, it, it, it's all open source. There's not, and they put in some government bulletins, but it's all stuff that like the press has access to and it's like five days old, right? It's, it's never on time.

37:05But it does give you some pretty good intelligence that, that you could use. They are all starting to like, hey, form groups with intelligence. We've been telling you that for two years now, the form a group of, of all your churches. So in the treasure valley of Idaho, which is basically like from Boise to Oregon, we have like 40, 50 churches in our group and we meet every quarter and we talk about intelligence issues, but if something comes up, we all know about it because we're in a signal group, all the leaders. And we, we talk to each other. I want to say every couple of days, somebody's putting a message in there with some important information. So question, John purchasing T-shirt armor. So that's the other thing I forgot to bring out for this video. I do wear T-shirt armor. Guys gotta be careful on your kit. Our man brought up a good point if you're not in a free loving state.

38:06Some places don't allow body armor. I do wear the T-shirt body armor from Premier Body Armor in the follow up video. I'll make sure I put a link in there for you. I'll put it, put it visible for you. The T-shirt body armor I shot up big time at the range and it did better than my current, my body armor that was issued. I am gonna do a video in the next couple of weeks and it's my 30 year old body armor versus what they make today and it's hilarious because I still have my body armor from 1995 that I bought myself and it's hilarious looking at it compared to what we have now. So I'm gonna shoot it to show you that body armor doesn't expire. But that T-shirt body armor actually is pretty good. It's under $300. Do me a favor and use my link though. I do get a little bit of money out of it and it helps from the ministry. But the big thing is is it lets Premier Body Armor know that people are coming because of Christian Warrior

39:06and what it does is allows me to get stuff from them that I can shoot up to show you in a video or stuff that I can show you. You know, to help make things better for you. So, question. Oh no, we got that one already about White House. I don't understand this stupid, all right. Question, Keith Wheeling, West Virginia. I looked into purchasing the flash bang you recommended but they would not ship with me without me taking the test, working you get that. So they have a link on there on IWA to take the test. I know when I went through it, I'm like, I got to take a test, this is stupid. And plus I had certification already for explosive breaching. So like, why am I taking the test when I already have certification and I wanted to provide my certification to show. Like, I've been through explosive breaching school. Why am I doing this? But you gotta take their stuff anyways. It's liability for them, I think. They, I took the test on there.

40:06It was, it was somewhere in there. It wasn't really, really easy to find. Any info about the Lake Havasu event in April? I am waiting, there's only 400 seats. So I'm waiting for the church in Lake Havasu to invite all the people that they want because I know the minute I open it up here on Christian Warrior, you guys are gonna fill the rest of the seats and the problem is a lot of people don't show up because like when I post online that I'm doing like a live event, I'll give you an example like Burleson. We had over 900 people sign up, but only 600 showed up. Where are the other 300? Texas, what happened? It doesn't happen to that big of a degree, but it happens enough that like, if I only have 400 seats, I wanna be careful. And I gotta tell you why I'm doing Lake Havasu is because my favorite pastor, my favorite campus minister from my ministry went down there and he asked for me to come. So I can't tell him no because he's a good dude. So I'm going, can I carry a crusader?

41:09Can I carry a Saturday night special or a high point? Oh man, I cannot tell you how many high points I would see it a crime scene on a dead man. All right, so question, any threat, chatter to churches in Corona? Yes, in your area. You have a group, I recommend that if you're in that area, that you reach out to Jack Hibbs's church, Cowlory Chapel, ask for Kelly Moore. They have a regional group and they talk quite frequently, but you have to be a security team leader to get into the group. You can't just be the dude or designated by your church to go there. There was nearby to you. There was, and I talked about this, but I do a deep dive in my life class, three Taliban that went to a church near you and near you kind of nearest to you in Corona,

42:11like close enough, where they were doing pre-attacks surveillance. And so yes, you should be careful. Plus you got Jack Hibbs's church kind of closeish to you. So be careful, Michael. Thank you for reminding us of Psalm 144, verse one. Blessed be the Lord, my rock who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. I love the 10 millimeter, sit away. I love the 10. Sorry, I'm just looking for questions. Listening to Moscow Idaho, it's not Moscow, it's Moscow. I love that. I'm a key person, should I start carrying a long gun in my truck when I serve? All right, so the question is, do I carry a long gun? Keep it in my truck. Look, where I am, I'm in Idaho, everybody has a truck gun.

43:13I have a Mark 18 in my truck ready to go all the time. Would plates that say, now, mindset police, my recommendation to you is go on Amazon, you could have it delivered to your house later today. This says security. It's Velcro, large letters, white, do like the really like reflective white on black. It doesn't matter if you have camo plate carrier, whatever, and then put that on the Velcro so everybody sees security. And it just makes sure that you don't get shot, right? So put that on your plate carrier, leave it in your truck, lock it up, make sure that you do your best to make sure somebody can't steal it. And then that way if something happens, you're good to go. Now, me personally, my kit, I have encrypted calms, which I have, let me show you. My whole family, we have a puck link radio.

44:16It's cheap, don't drop it, it's not cheap, it actually costs a lot of money. They have a, please use my link just because that way, they give me free stuff all the time and it helps me help you get stuff. I found this out through survival dispatch. I've been using this. This is my family's secure communications. So my son was in Mexico when the cartels popped off. We were able to communicate with him nonstop with this and just be like, hey, give us a status update. If you drop it, it sucks, it'll probably break. I dropped this and it fell apart but I was able to get it back together. This is my encrypted calms and I keep this in my truck and when I clip it on my plate carrier up here, so that way we can, or actually up here, opposite shoulder so we can talk. I'll put my kit in there but I do keep a long gun in there. So I went down a rabbit hole, sorry. So I do keep a long gun in there available to me so that if something were to happen,

45:17I have access to it. I don't think it hurts. Just make sure you have training. If you're not training with it, I don't want, you can do more damage than good. So please be careful. You've got the Arizona Church Security Network. I've heard about them. They're really good. I'm in Texas. Question. I'm not in secret. Should I carry, but we don't know where to go to get it or train or in OC. So where do you go to train? I think that's the main question. There's tons of private contractors out there, especially in Orange County. There's tons of retired cops doing stuff in retired military. Eric, thank you. I appreciate the love of your updates. FBSN does have conferences throughout the year. You should check them out. Just looking for questions. Oh, from SKEET, it's recommended that security teams people have less lethal tools available to them.

46:19Yes. And I get the ideology behind that. The question is, do fists and feet count as less lethal? No, it doesn't. Not at all. No. You got to have another option, man. You're more likely to pepper spray somebody than you are to shoot somebody. So yeah, you just throw a can of pepper spray in your pocket and you're good to go. I don't have any with me. It's out in the car. I just keep a little can in my pocket when I work with church security. I have pepper sprayed exponentially more people than I've shot. So just my two cents. Just looking for questions. David Sanchez has a note. Most church have requirements such as being confirmed by the pastor or of the church before being allowed to carry in church. Please look into it. Thank you for doing what you're doing. Yeah, so like that being confirmed like for us,

47:21I guess I'm, so I'm, I go to an evangelical church. I'm not sure I'm confirmed by the pastor. I'm not sure what that like that specifically is. But like, I think all of us have to have permission from our elders before we can carry. And we have to, we actually have a big process. You've got to qualify, got pass a background, go through a bunch of stuff and then qualify. I mean, it, and you should all be doing the same thing. Question, why would the White House tell intel agencies not to warn law enforcement? I thought I saw that one already. I think we address that just because they're federal government's stupid. You guys know how I feel about the federal government. All right. All right, so Kathy, you recently said, if you're not on a team, don't pull your gun or you'll actually be an active shooter. Not quite that, but the sentiment basically is,

48:21if you're a concealed carrier and you're not part of the active team and now you pull out your gun for whatever reason, how do we know that you're a good person? Like, nobody knows, right? Same, and honestly, it's like that way with the security team because most of you guys are in playing clothes too. It starts creating confusion. Good people get shot all the time. There was a concealed carrier recently. That happens actually frequently where they go to shoot a bad person, the cops roll up, think they're the bad person, they shoot them and they die. Nobody's wrong, okay? We tell our people, our concealed carriers, take a knee. If the active shooter's in front of you, then shoot them. But if they're not near you, take a knee. And, you know, because everybody's gonna go down. We tell our passers and everybody to tell everybody to get down and then our concealed carriers, we tell them to take a knee. And that way when the safety team is dealing with it,

49:22they know the people that have taken a knee are people. And then it's trying to reduce that friendly fire, Johnny. Of course, he's good at screwing the rules. He used to be law enforcement, that is so true, man. Benjamin, I'm also part of FBI South. They do do a good job. There's some really dedicated people in there. And if you guys are watching from FBI South, I appreciate all the hard work that you guys are doing. Question, I bet that hurts getting hit with the T-shirt armor. Do they have trauma pads? They do not, and you're probably gonna have a broken sternum when it's done, but at least you're alive, right? It's just gonna hurt a lot. All right, I think I'm gonna wrap this up. Oh, let me got one last question, John, question. A mix on US CCA or right to bear in US Law Shield. Which one do you recommend? I'm pretty sure you have right to bear from a previous video.

50:23I do, I looked at all of them. I don't hate US CCA, and I don't hate US Law Shield. I personally just think that right to bear is doing a better job. Now, US CCA, I've talked to their board members. There are a lot of them are Christians and they're good people. I like their training. I like their print material. We'd like to see a little work on the insurance side. US Law Shield. I say no because they actually sponsored me my old channel, two ACOPS. And then they broke contact, and they wouldn't return calls. And it's like, come on, man, you were my sponsor. If you're not returning my calls, then are you gonna return the calls of regular people? And it's same thing with US CCA. They didn't cover a church security team member that should have been covered. And I called them because I figured it was a mix up on their part

51:24and I wanted to get their side of the story before I did a YouTube video on it. And they didn't return my call. And it's like, man, if you're not gonna return my call, you're gonna return the call of a regular person. So US Law Shield and US CCA both did that with US CCA making the extra full pot of not covering the church security team member. Do I think that they'll be okay for you? Sure, but right to bear is only $200 with 50 state coverage if you use code CWT for Christian order training. Now, I like that I've started looking into this. I don't like all the other companies who are mad at me because I'm not recommending them. And if I start recommending them, I'm sure we're all gonna be friends again. And then other people are gonna hate me. It's business, right? But I have been able to make some of these companies do different things like, I'll give you an example, CCW safe. I wanna recommend them, but they make, because you're on a church security team, you have to pay this higher tier that's soon absorbed in an amount.

52:25And I've talked to the president, and I talked to him at Shot Show. And I was like, I can't recommend you until you make it to where just church security teams pay the same price as everybody else. They said we can't do that. Okay, well, we're not gonna do it. I can't recommend you then. That right to bear is the best right now. Now, if their leadership team changes, or something else, I reevaluate every year, and I will always let you know, which one is the best for you. I can tell you right now, the best for me, for me personally would be go to USCCA. I would probably make more money. I would have USCCA staff able to assist me with certain things. And it would just be better for me overall. But what's better for you is right to bear. And I hope you guys respect that. That like a lot of influencers pick who's good for them, and then tell you who to go to. But I can't constantly do that when you're serving the Lord, telling you like, go to this person

53:26because it's good for me. It's like, Berna, I want to make seven grand by recommending Berna to you guys, but it's horrible. So I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna do it. All right, last, last question. Any known issues in middle Tennessee, there are issues everywhere, everywhere, everywhere in the United States. Tomorrow, when you go to work or tonight, when you go to work, be an enhanced reader, smile on your face, have a plan to protect the church, have a plan to engage and just know that I am seeing a lot of people taking off lone wolf actors before they actually do something. And I want you to be prepared. That's it. All right, guys, I love every one of you guys. You guys are the best people I could ever have. I've had other newsletters. This, you guys, I look forward to reading your comments because you're so kind and wonderful. When you go to work tomorrow, just smile on your face

54:27and just be ready. And hopefully, I don't have to do a live tomorrow. That's my goal for tomorrow is to not go live and just have a normal day. All right, you guys take care. Be safe tomorrow. I'll see you in a couple days.
