The Global Freedom Report with Brent Johnson
Global Freedom Report: Sovereignty, Veteran Justice, and the "Cal Affordable" Vision
Guests, Kate Monroe and Steve Hilton
This broadcast of the Global Freedom Report features intensive discussions on reclaiming personal liberty, reforming California's "bloated" bureaucracy, and securing earned benefits for veterans. Host Brent Johnson facilitates deep dives with Kate Monroe of VetCom and gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton regarding government accountability and economic survival.
Veteran Advocacy and VA Reform
Kate Monroe, CEO of VetCom, highlights the systemic challenges veterans face when seeking disability benefits. She describes the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as acting similarly to an insurance company that preys on veteran anxiety and utilizes "insurmountable paperwork" to deny claims initially, hoping applicants will simply give up. Monroe’s organization focuses on a "shield" strategy to bypass bureaucratic roadblocks, emphasizing that many veterans are "complicit in their failure" by not filing claims due to analysis paralysis. Beyond financial compensation, VetCom provides critical mental health support, reportedly intervening in approximately 100 potential suicide cases monthly.
California’s Political and Economic Overhaul
Steve Hilton, a Republican candidate for Governor of California, introduces his "Cal Affordable" platform, aimed at dismantling the "bloated nanny state bureaucracy" in Sacramento. Hilton argues that California’s high cost of living is driven by stealth taxes and climate-driven regulations from agencies like the California Air Resources Board (CARB). He proposes the creation of "CalDOGE" (California Department of Government Efficiency) to identify fraud and reorganize government functions to the local level. Hilton also discusses his personal decision to renounce his UK citizenship, citing the UK’s "stagnating economy under socialism" and restrictions on free speech as a warning for California.
Personal Sovereignty and Legal Principles
The program emphasizes the concept of "The American Sovereign," teaching listeners how to live free from government regulation and protect God-given rights. A significant portion of the "Lessons in Liberty" segment is dedicated to Jury Nullification. Referencing the 17th-century trial of William Penn, the host explains that juries have the inherent right to judge not only the facts of a case but the legitimacy of the law itself, serving as the "last bastion of freedom" against government overreach.
Current Events and Security Concerns
The show covers several alarming news items, including a local Santa Clarita case where a roommate was caught on surveillance spraying poison on a couple's food and kitchen appliances. Internationally, reports confirm an explosion outside the U.S. Embassy in Oslo involving an incendiary device in a backpack. Additionally, the broadcast notes a sharp spike in California gas prices, with averages exceeding $5.00 per gallon in over 15 counties following conflicts in Iran.
The broadcast serves as a call to action for citizens to move beyond "hope" as a strategy. By utilizing legal tools like jury nullification, seeking professional assistance for veteran rights, and supporting aggressive fiscal transparency through initiatives like CalDOGE, the program argues that individuals can effectively counter the "insanity" of modern bureaucracy and reclaim their personal and economic freedom.

[00:00] Speaker 1: ... parents don't get him any toys. That inspired me to buy th- my kids a Christmas gift. And he had three boys, and for each, he ended up getting a gold and a silver. Whether the in- th- the story of- of why to invest in gold triggers you to say, "You know what? This is interesting. Let me look into it," what you have to do is determine what's the purpose.

You don't want to be at the mercy of the market. Using, it's not about just the market, it's also about purchasing power. Your job is to start to strategically position for this. Folks, do you think the operation of, uh, uh, uh, Hammer Midnight of back then, and- and the Epic Fury, do you not see any connection? The government positioned itself for about eight months. The first one was a dr- run.
[01:14] Speaker 1: We learned str- eight months for us to p- position to take all, uh, uh, Navy and- and Air Force power there, to position ourself to win the war. We're not going to war to lose it, folks. Why are you letting your money go to war without strategically positioning? Because here's what I can tell you.

[14:54] Speaker 18: (instrumental music) And welcome back to the Global Freedom Report. I am your host, Brent Johnson. It's a pleasure to be with you this afternoon. Our question for the week: How do you feel about the United States government's relationship with the State of Israel? How do you feel about the US government's relationship with the State of Israel? If you'd like to chime in on that, the toll-free number is 866-870-KRLA. That's 866-870-5752. A couple in California say their worst nightmare was confirmed after they captured their roommate on surveillance video spraying their food with poison. Timothy Bradberry, 42, was arrested by the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station on Tuesday, February 24th in the alleged poisoning. Billie Sonnhopper and her husband, David, told ABC7 they saw security footage that captured their roommate, Bradberry, spraying their food and kitchen appliances.
[16:23] Speaker 18: "He was spraying stuff all over our groceries, our fruit, our vegetables, our coffee pot that we use every morning, and our whole pantry full of our chips and cereal, all of our canned goods and spices. Everything. He sprayed it all over everything," Sonnhopper told the local outlet. The view- the video shows the suspect in a blue hoodie and gas mask spraying the kitchen with a blue bottle. David Sonnhopper said the couple's suspicions were raised during a recent ER visit when doctors told them blood work suggested possible poisoning. That is what led the couple to check the cameras the landlord had installed in the home. "On the video, we found that besides all the other things that he's done in the year that we've lived here, he was spraying something. We weren't sure if it was rat poison, wasp spray, or what," the couple said they have long struggled with their roommate, sharing that in the past, he allegedly tried to set the house on fire and cut up the couple's clothing.
[17:34] Speaker 18: The Sonnhoppers shared that they had turned to the police before but didn't have evidence until the surveillance video. "'It's been hell living with him this past year. It's been horrible,' David Sonnhopper said after Bradberry's arrest. 'With her health issues, we were extremely concerned. We're just tired. We've been living with so much stress.' 'We don't wanna be in fear anymore. We're tired of it. We just wanna be safe,' said Billie Sonnhopper.""On February 24th, police officers arrived at the home, but the suspect refused to exit. After deputies were informed by family members that Bradbury suffers from a mental health disability, they recruited the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Mental Evaluation Team to help detain the suspect. After two hours, Bradbury voluntarily left the house. Investigators then executed a search warrant and recovered physical evidence.
[18:41] Speaker 18: Bradbury was arrested on charges of willful poisoning of food, drink, medicine, or water with the intent to cause injury." I don't even know what to say about this. Can you believe this? You know, we're always hearing about all the crises du jour, whatever the dangerous situation of the day is, and every day it's something, and every day it's something that if we don't deal with it, you're gonna die. That's the message we're constantly getting. Then this story comes across my desk. I wanted you to know about it because this took place right here in the, in the Los Angeles region, and many of you who are listening to this show or watching it on the live stream are from that region. But it doesn't mean it can't happen elsewhere either. So, you've got some kind of roommate and you really haven't checked out this roommate. You only find out what this roommate is about after living with him for a year. I don't know wh- how you prepare for or deal with this situation.
[20:11] Speaker 18: This man was spraying poison on the son hopper's food, water, coffee pot, cereal, cookies, whatever. The only solution I know of is you don't let people have access to your food. You don't let people have access to what's yours. If that means that you get a lockable refrigerator and you keep all your stuff in the refrigerator, a lockable pantry so that your roommate cannot use it, cannot do anything with it, then, then that's what you do. It's horrible that you are faced with this type of situation. It's really horrible. You know, I've been saying for 30 years we are living in an insane asylum, and you didn't believe me when I said it back then, and today it's showing up. Okay, we are living in an insane asylum and most of the people in the country, in the world, are inmates in that asylum. These people are nuts. They're psychotic. They're crazy. They don't believe in God.
[21:39] Speaker 18: They don't have any system of values, and either they're too stupid or they simply have no conscience and don't care what they do to other people. You know, I just read a story (laughs) . I'll, I'll, I'll be editing it for posting probably next week, but I just read a story about a, a couple of people who are sitting in jail. They've been in jail for 20 years now. They murdered a young woman. Why? Because they were fans of the movie Scream. They were horror movie fans and they thought it would be a real cool thing to kill somebody using the scream technology. I'm not kidding you! Uh, I'll have the story ready for posting on my website by next week. We are living in insane times and you need to take extra special steps to protect your life and protect your liberty and protect your property. We'll be right back with VetCom: Veterans' Rights here on the Global Freedom Report. Stay tuned.

[23:44] Speaker 20: It is not true that the function of law is to regulate our consciences, our ideas, our wills, our education, our opinions, our work, our trade, our talents, or our pleasure. The function of law is to protect the free exercise of these rights and to prevent any person from interfering with the free exercise of these same rights by any other person.
[24:04] Speaker 19: Freedom Fever. Pass it on.
[24:07] Speaker 3: I was born in a welfare town. I was raised in poverty.
[24:17] Speaker 21: ... people dressed in gray. Got no privacy. Got no liberty. 'Cause the 20th century people. Took it all away from me.
[24:36] Speaker 18: And welcome back to the Global Freedom Report. I am your host, Brent Johnson. A proud United States Marine Corps veteran, Kate Monroe, took her oath to defend this nation and turned it into a lifetime mission of action, not rhetoric. As founder and CEO of VetCom, she has helped more than 27,000 veterans secure over $12 billion in Veterans Administration disability benefits they earned through sacrifice and service. While others talk about supporting veterans, Kate delivers results measured in real dollars and restored dignity. By her early career, Kate had already appeared on national and international media more than 800 times with her voice and message seen billions of times worldwide. Her leadership and unapologetic convictions have been featured on Fox News, USA Today, The New York Post, The Times, Washington Examiner, One America News Network, Newsmax, Dr. Phil, Daily Mail, Victory News, National Newswire Services and more.
[25:52] Speaker 18: She made headlines when she personally helped shut down illegal crossings by installing razor wire at the southern border, proving she doesn't wait for permission when action is required. Kate stepped into the political arena as a congressional candidate because she believes California deserves fighters, not placeholders. Her best-selling book, The Race to Save California, lays out a bold blueprint to restore law and order, protect taxpayers, defund... I'm sorry, defend (laughs) American sovereignty and return constitutional leadership to a state that has lost its way. Kate doesn't just confront power in politics, she exposes it on screen. As executive producer and lead actress of the political thriller, The Body Man, she pulls back the curtain on the corruption, backroom deals and political machinery that most Americans only suspect exists. Kate Monroe stands at the intersection of service, strength and fearless accountability, and she is not asking for a seat at the table.
[27:06] Speaker 18: She is rebuilding it. Kate Monroe, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Global Freedom Report. How are you, Kate?
[27:15] Speaker 22: So happy to be here. That was an mouthful. Thank you.
[27:19] Speaker 18: Well, you know, I co- I consider you my guest, and it's only appropriate that I introduce my guest in a proper way. And I- I have to say, I first saw you just, like, last week, the week before. I saw you on One America Network r- uh, right after the, uh, State of the Union, and I was very, very touched and very impressed with you. And I said, "I have to see if I can get Kate Monroe on this show." So thank you so much for joining me. When you originally took your military oath, do you recall exactly what you said? What were the words of your oath? What did it mean for you to promise to defend this nation?
[28:03] Speaker 22: Well, I think when I first took my oath, it reminded me of that Bible verse, you know, um, that you really couldn't love people more than that you would lay your life down for a friend, and that's really what it still means to me to this day.
[28:19] Speaker 18: Okay. Very fair and good start. Now, you founded an organization called VetCom, and you were its CEO. What is the mission of VetCom, and why did you find it necessary to even start the organization? Did, did you believe that veterans were not being treated fairly? Is that why you started VetCom? I would imagine that veterans were being treated as defenders of this country, and so it seemed to me that there would be no need for an organization like VetCom, yet you obviously saw otherwise. Could you explain your motivations?
[28:58] Speaker 22: Yeah. As a, um, Marine Corps veteran myself, I was assaulted in the service. I crushed my, uh, nose, my eye socket, my elbow, my right ankle, all of my feelings totally shattered, and I ended up getting out of the service really with nothing 'cause I was sort of shooed away like a broken toy. And then years and years later, I actually opened a car dealership and I put veteran owned and operated, and I had hundreds of veterans come to buy a car from me. I was the only dealership open during COVID-10. And after helping about 200 people, I realized I hadn't met a person that was getting compensated, that was getting compensated fairly, and it turns out that there was three big reasons why. And I said, "I'm a problem solver. I'm gonna solve this for veterans." And I just sort of went to war for them in, in 2020. And in less...
[29:45] Speaker 22: You know, it took us the first three years of building the company to really get traction to convince people that we were the good guys and there was a easier, better way to do it than trying to do it for free, which could be very costly. And so, you know, it's just, it's my life's work to keep everybody above the ground and ensure that they prosper.
[30:04] Speaker 18: Well, I have to tell you, m- my least favorite thing to do is to deal with bureaucrats.
[30:12] Speaker 22: (laughs)
[30:12] Speaker 18: And boy, have you tackled, (laughs) boy, have you tackled a bastion...... of bureaucrats. So, my hat goes off to you-
[30:21] Speaker 22: (laughs)
[30:21] Speaker 18: ... because I don't think that I could, I could, uh, do what you do without absolutely having conniptions on a regular basis. And maybe you do, but you, if you do-
[30:31] Speaker 22: I do.
[30:31] Speaker 18: ... you certainly don't let it dis-
[30:33] Speaker 22: (laughs)
[30:33] Speaker 18: (laughs) Yeah. You certainly don't let it distract you. Yes. I can only imagine. It's kind of like talking to a wall. Like, I, I, I would think you've had your share of experiences. In your bio, you said your unapologetic convictions have been seen and heard on hundred media outlets. What exactly do you mean by that? What do you mean by unapologetic convictions?
[30:58] Speaker 22: Well, I think people always wanna water down the message, and they wanna, you know, bevel the edges of what they actually think and feel. And I figured, you know, there's people out there, millions of people, that voted, you know, one way, that might have voted for Trump, that feel very convicted about stuff, but they're made to feel small and to cower down and to water down everything. And I said, "You know what? I'm gonna be the voice of the people." And it just so happens to turn out that that became very popular, and I've been seen billions of times. I get shared. Um, I go viral almost every single week, because I somehow became the voice of those who found themselves voiceless.
[31:33] Speaker 18: Now, how, how, how... Okay, there are a lot of people, a lot of people out there who have podcasts and who, you know, who, who have a voice in media, and who go out there and they're looking to, you know, expose this and reveal that and whatever else. But they don't necessarily all, most of them probably don't, have the results that-
[32:00] Speaker 22: Yeah.
[32:00] Speaker 18: ... you have. So what is, what is different about Kate Monroe? What sets Kate Monroe aside from anybody else who feels that, "Well, you know, I wanna help the veterans"?
[32:13] Speaker 22: Well, I think two big things about me, you know, growing up a Christian person, I have a lot of resolve. I know that God has laid a path before me, that victory is mine, and it's my job to arrive on time to claim it. So, I always operate on a daily that I am doing the right thing, going the right direction, and I feel very empowered in what I'm doing. And I also just feel like, as a Marine Corps veteran, if I decided to say, "Hey, I'm gonna step in for veterans," it's my job to arrive violently on my battlefield every single day and kick ass and take names and make sure that we keep these guys safe and that we get them funded and, you know, that we keep them headed in the right direction.
[32:51] Speaker 18: I gotta tell you, you, you, you're in my, you're in my short list of people I want on my team. Because (laughs) what, what I do, what I do is I really push the envelope, but I do it in a credible way, okay? And I do not take no for an answer. I do not, I do not ex- uh, uh, I... When somebody comes up and says, "You know, I can't get my veterans benefits and everything, and there's nothing I can do, and they're taking away my freedom," I come back and I say, "No, no, no, no. Nobody's taking away your freedom. All they're doing is violating your freedom, violating your rights." And when they do that, you have to ask yourself a question. "What am I going to do about it?" I do stuff about it. Clearly, you do stuff about it. And I have to say, my, my evaluation up to this point, and it's only been a few minutes, is that you are genuine and you are authentic, and that's what makes the difference. You make a difference because you really mean what you say.
[33:59] Speaker 18: Have you found that to be the case with the people you're out there to speak with, or even with the bureaucrats you have to deal with? Have you found your genuineness to be picked up by those other people?
[34:14] Speaker 22: Oh, for sure. I think, you know, people can watch you do a one-minute roast on social media, or you might sort of tear somebody apart, which is part of my brand, and then think you to be only, uh, one-dimensional. But then faced with you in person, you know, they have to take a look at, uh, everything. And, you know, it was funny, NPR, this is a good example. They reached out and said, "Hey, Kate, we'd like to take you down to the border." This was around the turn of Trump getting in the second time. And they said, "You know, hey, we're gonna try to be fair with you, but, you know, we're NPR and all." And I said, "Hey, you know, you gotta do what you gotta do, but just do me this favor.
[34:46] Speaker 22: Go down to the border, actually look with your own eyes, listen to me, listen to my heart, and then you can go ahead and write or put out a story based on what you see, and after going out with me, after going to church with me-
[34:57] Speaker 18: And, and, and, and let me-
[34:57] Speaker 22: ... after facing a family..." Yeah.
[35:01] Speaker 18: And let me, let me interrupt, because we got a hard break coming up right now. I wanna actually pick up on that when we get to the other side. My guest is Kate Monroe. We'll be back after these words. (instrumental music plays)

[35:23] Speaker 6: A common law pure trust organization is the most powerful asset protection device available. Pure trusts have been around in the USA since 1790 when patriot Patrick Henry created the first one. Pure trusts establish ironclad protection for real property, vehicles, businesses, and just about anything else. A pure trust creates a wall of privacy over its assets, reduces personal liability, and protects property from attachment. Freedom Bound International has been creating pure trusts for over 35 years, and none of their trusts have ever been successfully attacked. Call today at 888-385-FREE.

[37:49] Speaker 13: I'm talking with investment fraud attorney, Adam Satnick. We've all lost money in the market, but could losing a lot of money signal fraud?
[37:56] Speaker 26: Yes, Dave. People are victims of financial misconduct all the time, but they don't realize it. It's often a matter of simply looking at brokerage account statements and what investments a broker has put their money into. We find that sometimes the broker has invested without their knowledge or permission. People have lost a bunch of their money and had no idea why. We hold their brokers accountable. We hold their feet to the fire.
[38:17] Speaker 13: If you're losing money and don't know why, could it be that your broker sold you unsuitable investments or put their own commission interest ahead of yours? Go to stopyoursteal.com. Stopyoursteal.com. Call 888-358-4547. 888-358-4547.

[39:31] Speaker 28: Nor I. I want to live. I want a home and children and peace.
[39:37] Speaker 27: Do you?
[39:38] Speaker 28: I do. I've asked God for those things. It's all for nothing if you don't have freedom.

[40:16] Speaker 23: And welcome back to The Global Freedom Report. I am your host, Brent Johnson. My guest is Kate Munro, CEO of VetCom, dedicated to helping veterans get justice for all that they have done for the rest of us. Kate, welcome back. What were the challenges you encountered in your efforts to bring justice to veterans? I mean, why was it an uphill battle for you? Again, like I said at the beginning, to me, okay, these are people who've risked their lives for the rest of us. Okay. Why did you have an uphill battle? What did you come across when you started to work on this?
[41:01] Speaker 22: Yeah. When I started to work on this, it was almost like when you enter a hoarder's house. There's so much to do and so, the magnitude of the problem is so large, you sort of go, "Where do I start?" And I said, "Hey, I gotta start by delivering veteran by veteran by veteran." I can't look at the, you know, 14 million people that are collecting nothing and just freak out and try to tackle that whole thing. I gotta start small and then grow big. And I think what I found and what changed the game for me and for my company was realizing that the VA, in many ways, is just an insurance company. And being an insurance company, they don't wanna pay you. So, in order to not pay you, they'll prey on your anxiety. They will put roadblocks in front of you. They will make insurmountable paperwork. They will deny you first to see if you'll go away. And a lot of veterans say if they didn't have VetCom's help, they might have just taken their ball and, and go home never to play the game again.
[41:49] Speaker 22: So, I feel like it's our job, like our, our logo is a shield for a reason. We are, we put that shield out there and we kick in the door and we let veterans go in and get what they are owed safely and soundly. And it's just, it shouldn't be that difficult, you're correct, but it is in fact that hard.
[42:06] Speaker 23: You know, it's interesting that you bring that up. I remember a movie, I, for the life of me, I can't remember the name of it, but there was a movie and it was a true story. Uh, I believe it was, it was either Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves.
[42:21] Speaker 18: ... uh, as the star. And the story was about, in the 1940s, a lawyer who took on a, an insurance company, and what he found was that this insurance company had a policy of denying any claim no matter what all the time. You could have-
[42:45] Speaker 22: Yes.
[42:45] Speaker 18: ... the most perfect claim, the greatest evidence, everything, it didn't matter. Their policy was an, a first time denial on the premise that if they did that, some people would just go away, exactly what you just said. Some people would just go away. Now, eh, and he won the case, it was a major thing, okay, and this happened in the 1940s, but to hear you say that, it conjures up exactly the same thing. And, and what I realize is that you're dealing with bureaucrats, and I wrote an article on this called The Bureaucratic Profile. Bureaucrats, no matter where they're from, no matter the country, no matter whether with the government or the banks, it doesn't matter, bureaucrats all have the same profile. They are the product of their training. They can do no more and no less than what they are trained to do. And if they are trained to say, "No, we're gonna deny it," then that's what they're going to say, for sure. Wow. Okay. Tha- tha- that's... I...
[43:45] Speaker 18: I'm gonna see if I can find out the name of that movie and I'm gonna send it to you on email 'cause i- i- it's, it's right up your alley. It's exactly what you just described. Wow. Just amazing. Um, so okay, so, y- you, you end up having to deal with a, a VA bureaucrat. You've got a client, okay, the client has been denied his or her, um, you know, uh, benefits, uh, to whatever amount of money under whatever set of circumstances. They come out and they say, "Well, I'm sorry, our policy is that we're not going to pay this." What do you do?
[44:25] Speaker 22: Yeah. Ah. Well, there's actually two schools of thought. Uh, uh, what you just said is that people come to us in a state of denial. What, what half the people do is actually come to us never having made a claim. So there's this sort of false narrative that everyone is denied. Veterans tend to deny themselves, so they are complicit in their failure. If you don't even make a claim, you can't be mad that you're not winning, said claim. So we always tell veterans, "Hey, stop watching all this educational content, stop doing all this if you're not gonna make a claim 'cause you're just getting more analysis paralysis." Now for the guys who are denied, we look at what they have and we say, "Hey, you tried to go in the front door. There's a back door, there's a slider door, there's a, uh, chimney. Like Santa, there's windows." And we create a new plan, a new strategy, and we execute it.
[45:10] Speaker 22: And typically, if somebody were listening to us right now, in less than four months, they could be up to $4,000 a month richer. So if they've been waiting 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 years, today may be their day.
[45:24] Speaker 18: Wow. So you g- you basically, you give them hope. You give them... You know, you're basically inspiring them, okay, which, again, is like, I want you on my team, like... (laughs)
[45:36] Speaker 22: (laughs)
[45:36] Speaker 18: Absolutely, 100%. You, you are phenomenal. I am so glad to have you on the show here.
[45:41] Speaker 22: Thank you.
[45:41] Speaker 18: And I know that my listeners listening to you are themselves inspired. There are a lot of people here who are veterans or who know veterans, who have veterans. I, I, actually just the other day, I was talking to a friend of mine. I told her who was gonna be on this show, and she said, "Oh, I have this friend who's been going through this stuff with VA." You know, and I, I said, "Okay, I will send you... I will send you the website. You have him get in touch because these people are going to help make it right." Now, you mentioned that you helped shut down illegal crossings by installing razor wire at the southern border. How'd you get involved in that?
[46:26] Speaker 18: Tell me about that situation-
[46:28] Speaker 22: (laughs)
[46:28] Speaker 18: ... please.
[46:30] Speaker 22: I know, it does sound so absurd, but what was going on at the time is I had s- decided to run for Congress in California's 49th District, and then you go out and you start talking to people. They say, "Hey, Kate, you know, we see you on the news, we like you a whole lot. You're a good speaker, a genuine lady, but what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do about the border?" And I said, "Man, that's a really good question," because it's, again, it's that huge problem of where do you even start? And I said, "You know what? Let me see if I can get on Amazon and order some razor wire." 'Cause I had just the same week saw that 60 Minutes where there was hundreds of people coming around the end of the wall here in San Diego, and I said, "Well, I'm gonna go up and see if I can find the Border Patrol, see if they'll tell me where this hole is," and sure enough they did, and I patched it up. It turned into worldwide news. We did three more spots, had the Border Vets form.
[47:17] Speaker 22: I had tons of veterans out with me. It was like striking a match in a dead forest. I think it made people go, "Wow, we don't have to go quietly into the night." And it was, uh, it was a big boon, you know, to my media career because it set me apart from other people. A lot of people like to say, "Hey, there's a problem." I say, "Great, there's a problem. I'm gonna show you that we everyday regular people could go fix it."
[47:39] Speaker 18: Well, and, and, and, you know, I... Every, every week on this show, near the end of this show, I will always say, "What are you willing to do to protect and preserve your liberty? And what are you not willing to do to protect and preserve that same liberty?" And, you know, the idea is that when you ask a question, anybody who hears the question automatically, it's a reflex, you have to think about it. You have to consider it, you know. You, you wanna know how to change the world? You ask a question. And, you know, I put people on, on the spot that way, you know. "Okay, you talk about your freedom, you talk about your rights. W- what are you willing to do to defend it?" You know.
[48:22] Speaker 18: "W- what happens if somebody comes up and says, 'You can't do that?' Or if somebody comes up and says, you know, um..."We think that the most compassionate thing is to have the borders open and let everybody and anybody-
[48:35] Speaker 22: We do.
[48:35] Speaker 18: ... come in because, because we, meaning the people of the United States, have and they, meaning the people trying to come in, don't have as much. And so the proper thing is, you know, this is, this is pure communism. The proper thing is for us to open our doors to them and inevitably those of us who believe that, you know, we, we... And, and by the way, I think most people would say, "Hey, if, if they need to or want to come and avail themselves of this, let them come in legally." Legally. Nobody is argu- I, I would assume you're not arguing against that. N- n- nobody I know of will argue against that. They want to come in legally and they want to contribute to our society, that's fine. But when people just come in and they wanna take advantage and they wanna take from the American people, okay, and not give back, and they do it illegally which means they're criminals, I think that's a whole different, whole different scenario.
[49:45] Speaker 18: So, in the end, you know, the question of, you know, uh, just open borders, closed borders, secure borders, whatever it is, the whole question is what are you willing to do about it and you have already shown your willingness to do things about it, and, uh, uh, uh, again, you know, it... I, I feel, I feel honored to know you. Now-
[50:13] Speaker 22: Thank you.
[50:13] Speaker 18: ... reportedly, you res- you recently bought out others involved with VetCom, that's my understanding, and you took complete control of, of the organization. What prompted that? Were people you worked with not as dedicated-
[50:27] Speaker 22: Well-
[50:27] Speaker 18: ... as you or, or, or-
[50:29] Speaker 22: No.
[50:29] Speaker 18: ... was there a problem?
[50:32] Speaker 22: No. No, that, that's actually not what happened at all. What really happened was I founded the company in 2020, um, we were gonna do, um, a reverse and I, you know, I at one point was a public company CEO. Um, I can't share too much, but there was a hostile takeover where they essentially tried to, um, steal my company and I was able to win it back. It was a foreign power that did this to me. Um, but as I said, I will arrive violently on my field of battle. I'm not easily overtaken. And during this time, we grew the company by 10X. We went from helping 7,000 people a year to 24,000 people a year. I had 90 employees, now I have 230 employees. Um, I will not be taken off course, not by, uh, anyone. Not by any powers that be.
[51:19] Speaker 18: And I'll bet you all those 200 employees love working with you and love working for you.
[51:24] Speaker 22: (laughs)
[51:24] Speaker 18: I will bet you. Yes, yes. (laughs) Here we go.
[51:27] Speaker 22: Definitely. Uh-huh.
[51:27] Speaker 18: Okay, we got one more break, we got one more break. I know that you have a commitment coming up, okay, at the top of the hour.
[51:35] Speaker 22: Yeah.
[51:35] Speaker 18: I will have us done before we get to the top of the hour, I promise you that. But we do have to-
[51:40] Speaker 22: Okay.
[51:40] Speaker 18: ... take one more break. We'll be back with Kate Monroe here on the Global Freedom Report. Stay tuned. (instrumental music plays)

[52:57] Speaker 27: There was once a dream. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish. It was so fragile and I fear that it will not survive the winter. Let us whisper now, together you and I. I will empower you to one end alone, to give power back to the people and end the corruption. Would you accept this great honor that I have offered you? With all my heart, no. That is why it must be you. You have not been corrupted by our politics. Network news makes the people snooze. Watch the liar speak tonight. Distorted views keep them all confused. See the liar speak tonight.
[54:00] Speaker 18: And welcome to the Global Freedom Report. I'm your host Brent Johnson. My guest is Kate Monroe of VetCom. We're talking about veterans' rights and veterans' justice and, uh, a bunch of other things as well concerning your rights and your freedoms and, uh, it's just good to know that there are people like Kate Monroe out there acting and working on behalf of us all. Kate, you ran for Congress to represent California.
[54:31] Speaker 18: Now-
[54:31] Speaker 22: Yeah.
[54:32] Speaker 18: That's a, that's a tough environment. That's- unless, unless you're a devout Marxist, that is a tough environment. What did you learn about California politics from your run for Congress?
[54:49] Speaker 22: Well, I learned a few things. One, that in running for politics, it's mostly a grift. You know, the people that run your campaigns, for the most part, all the people that do the mail and the texting and the calls and all the fundraisers, they just charge a lot of money and they don't really do that much for you, quite frankly. So it, it's like its own industrial complex, politics is. And then the next thing is, here in California, I would not say that our elections are fair. Um, it, it's very clear that there is some rigging of our elections, the way in which, um, they do it. I mean, we just pres- passed Prop 50. As if it already wasn't one-sided, we went ahead and made it even more for the left. And so it was very disheartening, but it was still worth the doing, because it needs to be done. I would like to have seen me go farther.
[55:33] Speaker 22: I think if there had been less people in the pack, I would have got to the end, and I think that I could have been somebody who could have overtaken Mike Levin. I, I feel sad though. I think we might have lost that seat. There's not a big star rising to take it. But, uh, I get to say forever that I was a Congressional candidate, and I, and I may do it again in the future. Who knows?
[55:54] Speaker 18: Oh, yeah, and, uh, I think anywhere, anywhere you did it, at least in, in my all due respect, I think it will be an uphill battle, because the, the, the one thing that disappears in politics is the truth.
[56:09] Speaker 22: Yes.
[56:09] Speaker 18: And I get that you believe in truth, and that means you have an uphill battle, and-
[56:16] Speaker 22: ... were governor for a season, I would stop all unnecessary spending, shut down all temp- programs. Everyone, uh, would have to be put through the wringer of what is the actual ROI of your program? I would not just find fraud, waste, and abuse. I would prosecute everyone all the way to the DAs that have not prosecuted this, even though they know damn well that it is going on. I mean, just look at the homeless industrial complex in our state. It's actually rigged so that some of the money goes into this Housing First. The builders of the housing put a lot of that money back into the coffers of the Democrats that run, and it feeds that machine on the left here in California. And when you actually walk the streets, like I actually took Chad Bianco out on a walk and showed him what's actually going on when you stand and talk to people, when you stand and talk to the workers, when you stand and talk to all the homeless people.
[57:09] Speaker 22: We even stood and talked to the Crips when we were down there on the corner, and it's very clear that the money is not making it to the street. The money is making the problem bigger and not making the solution, uh, worthwhile. So that's what, that's what I would do. If I was gonna fix California, I'd dry up all the frivolous spending real quick. A lot of people would be real sad.
[57:29] Speaker 18: Well, yeah, and I'm sure a lot of people would, you know, especially the criminals out there. And by the way, when, when, when I say criminals, I actually tell people th- that the people who work for government, whether they're elected or appointed, they're all criminals. And I mean that literally, because people in government are all trained to find ways to circumvent constitutional restrictions. Whether it's state or federal constitution, it doesn't matter, because the constitution is the supreme law of the land, federally, okay, and comparably in each state, which means that the people who work for government are trained to break the law, which means they're criminals. And it's one of the first things I teach people, because if you understand you're dealing with criminals, just showing them the law isn't good enough.
[58:19] Speaker 18: You, you know, you go up to a bank robber sometimes, "Hey, excuse me, did you know robbing banks is illegal and you can go to jail for a long time?" There isn't a bank robber in the world who's gonna say, "Oh, thank you so much. I'm going home now." So just showing the law to criminals in government doesn't get you what you want. We have to do more than that. We have to think outside the box. We have to be creative. You know, we have to, uh, go beyond what we're told we're supposed to do, and that is where, you know, that is where you and me and people like us, okay, are able to make our, make our imprint, make our stand. All right, my final question for you, o- at least my final planned question. Could you tell us about the VetComm.us website? Is this the best way for people to learn the work you do? Can users contact you through the website? Is this how they can s- support your efforts and support VetCom?
[59:23] Speaker 18: And is this where people who are veterans who have issues like my friend's friend, okay, is this also where they go to get help? Tell us about it.
[59:34] Speaker 22: Yes. Yeah, if you go to VetComm.us, many places on the site, you can fill out a lead form and somebody will be answering you very quickly, especially Monday through Friday, they work 14 hours a day answering veterans. And on the weekend, we have a, it's kind of a skeleton crew that runs Saturday and Sunday, but you'll be getting an answer very quickly. Every single veteran gets a free strategy call with us, so whether you do anything with us or not, we're gonna give you the strategy you need to move forward and give you an assessment of where you stand and how far you have left to go, um, to your target. It's also, we have helped every single month about 100 people not commit suicide. Somehow, um, they can't reach the suicide hotline and they can't get to any of these free services, you know, they're not open, and so they reach out to us all hours of the day when they're about to pull the trigger, so to speak. And so we do a lot more than just help people get compensated.
[01:00:28] Speaker 22: We make them seen, be seen and heard and loved and cared about, and I think that that is really, uh, important as a organization. But please do find us at VetComm.us. You can also call or text 858-360-2227 and somebody will text you back.
[01:00:45] Speaker 18: Can you give that number again, please?
[01:00:47] Speaker 22: Okay. 858-360-2227.
[01:00:55] Speaker 18: Fantastic. And, uh, I, uh, at one point I was, uh, when I actually ... when I lived in California, uh, at one point, I, um, uh, was part of a suicide hotline. So I know exactly wh- what goes into that on both sides of it and everything. And I really appreciate what you just said, uh, uh, about that kind of help, because, um, p- people are at, you know, people are at their end of- the end of their ropes in so many ways today. They, they, they have just had ... Ev- everything has just stressed them to the point of there's nothing in ... There's no reason for me to keep going at all. There's just no reason. And I appreciate you being there for people, you know, who are in- involved in that. Now, what about ... What about those who say, "You know, I think VetCom is the greatest thing since the paper napkin. I wanna contribute." Is this where they go? To the website?
[01:01:56] Speaker 22: So if- if they wanted to go to- to VetCom and help sponsor their friends, by all means, if they put in a lead form with a note that says they're looking to help people, we have a lot of veterans pay it forward. You know, a lot of them will get $5,000 to $50,000 in back pay and they'll want to reach out and say, "Hey, I got three of my buddies. If I send them to you, can I, can I sponsor them in?" And you absolutely can. We have companies that sponsor veterans. So, if that's something that's in your heart to do to help somebody, uh, we'd love to have your- have your support.
[01:02:26] Speaker 18: Thank you so much. Kate Monroe, it has been ... This has been one of my most pleasant, enjoyable interviews I've ever done. Thank you so much-
[01:02:37] Speaker 22: Aw.
[01:02:37] Speaker 18: ... for being with us.
[01:02:38] Speaker 22: Thank you.
[01:02:38] Speaker 18: I know you, you have to, you have to get out there. And, and okay, i- if and when I get to California and everything, I'm gonna call you up and see if I can meet with you just to say hi in person. Uh, I love what you're doing. Uh, it's been a pleasure and, um, if circumstances warrant, I'd love to have you back. Thank you so much.
[01:02:59] Speaker 22: I'd love to be back.
[01:02:59] Speaker 18: You take good care. God bless.
[01:03:00] Speaker 22: You guys have a great day.
[01:03:01] Speaker 18: And God ... God bless to you and God bless the work that you are doing. Kate Monroe with VetCom.us. We'll be right back with Hour Number Two of this Glo- Global Freedom Report.

[01:03:35] Speaker 12: My friends, can I share something with you for a moment? I know how confusing ... Um, every time you turn on the radio, you hear another voice telling you to buy gold. Every host, every show, another endorsement. Like walking through a mall with 20 gold stores in a row, each one shouting, "Buy from me. Buy from me." I'm not gonna do that to you Eldorados. Many years ago, when Dennis Prager helped me get started in radio, he told me something I've never forgotten. He said, "Credibility is all you have. Protect it." So I'm gonna tell you why I chose Allegiance Gold. I sat across from Alex Epkarian, the owner of Allegiance Gold. We talked about family. You can discern a man's character by the way he talks about the people he loves. Alex is a former banker, so he understands the US dollar and why you should own gold. When you work with Allegiance Gold, you see exactly what they pay and exactly what you pay. No games, just transparency. I'm a client of Allegiance Gold.
[01:04:21] Speaker 12: And if you value trust the way I do, you should consider them, too. Call Alex Epkarian at Allegiance Gold. 844-790-9191. 844-790-9191.

[01:05:54] Speaker 9: With SRN News, I'm Mary Rose. A Texas judge has ordered Camp Mystic to preserve damaged cabins and other parts of the grounds hit by last year's catastrophic flood.
[01:06:06] Speaker 32: That flood killed 25 girls and two counselors last 4th of July. The order followed a lawsuit by the family of eight-year-old Ceil Stewart, whose body has still not been recovered. District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble ordered Camp Mystic to halt any construction after the family argued that any changes could destroy evidence needed for their lawsuit. Attorneys for Camp Mystic have maintained that there was little they could have done during the catastrophic flooding that quickly overcame the camp. John Scott reporting.

[01:13:34] Speaker 35: ... 3737. 888-385-FREE. Steve Hilton was born in London, the son of Hungarian immigrants who fled communism in search of freedom and opportunity. From a working class background, Steve made it to Oxford and then built a career at the highest levels of business and government. He served as a senior advisor to Prime Minister David Cameron before moving to California, where he taught at Stanford, built multiple businesses, hosted the Next Revolution on Fox News, and launched Golden Together, a movement for commonsense reform. Steve is not a career politician. He is an outsider with the experience to take on the insiders, end the bloat, and fight for the people who make California work. Steve Hilton, it is my pleasure and honor to welcome you to the Global Freedom Report. How are you?
[01:14:38] Speaker 35: I'm great, and it's wonderful to be with you
[01:14:41] Speaker 18: Oh, it's terrific. I'm, uh, I- I thought we might have a technical problem in there at some point. Uh, I'm so glad to see you here and to speak with you here, and, uh, let us start really simple, m'kay? Let me ask you, what are the greatest priorities for you during your first term as Governor of California?
[01:15:05] Speaker 35: Well, really, the number one priority is to take an absolutely massive sledgehammer to the bloated nanny state bureaucracy in Sacramento that is crushing our freedom, that is making everything impossible in California, so difficult to live your life, run your business, whatever it is you want to do, and so expensive. All of it comes back to the bloated bureaucracy, the regulations, the endless legislation they passed. That's the priority, and then that feeds into all the specific things that, um, I'm- I wanna get done, and the results I wanna deliver for people, um, and it's- it's all captured in one word actually. I wanna make our state Cal Affordable.
[01:15:47] Speaker 35: That's the theme of the tour of the state, that we're doing town halls-
[01:15:50] Speaker 18: Oh.
[01:15:51] Speaker 35: ... up and down the state all the time, and you've got very simple things. I just wanna run through them. Three dollar gas, cut your electric bills in half, your first hundred grand tax free, no more free healthcare for illegal immigrants so we can lower healthcare costs for you, and a home you can afford to buy. That's it. That's the plan, but underlying it, we gotta-
[01:16:10] Speaker 18: I-
[01:16:10] Speaker 35: ... really blow up this legis- this- this ridiculous bureaucracy.
[01:16:15] Speaker 18: I love the word Cal Affordable. Never- that never even occurred to me, and, uh, and I, you know, I think about things like that, and that's delightful. Cal Affordable. Okay. You're gonna make it Cal Affordable. Super. Well, you know, you already raised a few things that I wanna touch on. Of every-
[01:16:34] Speaker 35: Mm-hmm.
[01:16:34] Speaker 18: ... state in the union, California has the most legislatively committed spending requirements, programs whose budgets cannot be cut.
[01:16:47] Speaker 35: (laughs)
[01:16:47] Speaker 18: How do you address the out of control spending in California?
[01:16:53] Speaker 35: Well, you're right that s- that some of it is legislatively mandated, but a lot of- a lot of it isn't, and you- and you look at, for example, the costs that are the- the kind of, what you might call stealth taxes, the costs that- that are being imposed through all these other things that aren't the legislature, uh, they're just bureaucracy running away with it. For example, a lot of the climate-driven costs coming through the California Air Resources Board, CARB, um, that includes the gas taxes and the low carbon fuel standard, and all these taxes on energy producers and users that force up electric rates and gas prices, that's not legislation. You can attack that through the bureaucracy. Then there's another whole category, which is all the fraud and corruption. I mean, I set up, a couple of weeks ago, CalDOGE, the California Department of Government Efficiency.
[01:17:40] Speaker 35: We're n- we're not elected yet, this is just a volunteer effort with myself and my colleagues on what we're calling the Golden Ticket, the team I'm putting together to turn things around in California. Michael Gates, running for attorney general, in particular Herb Morgan, running for state controller, and Gloria Romero running with me for lieutenant governor. We launched CalDOGE together. Just in the last couple of weeks, we've found, um, nearly a billion and a half dollars of fraud. Just us. Just without any access to the official, um, uh, books, but just going through and diligently following lead that have come in through our website, califraud.com, the whistleblower tip line that we set up. So we're really getting ready to do the work of being there on day one, in a position to identify and cut the fraud, and that's a big part of reducing the bloat and the spending so we can cut taxes.
[01:18:32] Speaker 18: Um, I- uh, uh, I will- I will put in a little plug for myself here. I'm actually a director of something called the Department of Government Accountability that has been created-
[01:18:43] Speaker 35: Very good.
[01:18:43] Speaker 18: ..., okay, in- in the private sector, uh, and-... I'm very actively involved with that. I would love to, if it is available to non-political people, you know, I would love to be a part of your CalDOGE. I think, uh, I think I could-
[01:19:00] Speaker 35: Yes.
[01:19:00] Speaker 18: ... I could bring a lot to it. And if there's a, an avenue available, I'd love to know how to get in touch or who to get in touch with-
[01:19:06] Speaker 35: I'd love... Yes, absolutely. Let's follow up on that. It's a, it's open to all. We're very... That's my attitude. We've, it's all hands on deck. We've gotta save our beautiful state from these far-left lunatics, and every common sense person can get involved in the movement. And we definitely need serious, thoughtful, experienced people to help us identify the places where we can cut. And also, there's two, there's really two parts to CalDOGE's work, which I outlined when we set it up. Number one, I've touched on, which is identifying the fraud and the waste and the abuse of money. That's, if you like, the financial aspect of it, finding ways to cut the spending. But the other part of it is finding ways to reorganize the government and make it more efficient by shutting down and cutting back bureaucracies and these agencies, by finding places where they duplicate functions that could be better dealt with at the local level or the county level.
[01:19:58] Speaker 35: So there's so much to do there in terms of thinking about how go-... We, we are just drowning in government in this broader sense (laughs) in California, just so much of it. You know, the rules and regulations and the legislation and the different bodies, and you've got, you know, the state leg-
[01:20:17] Speaker 36: Information
[01:20:17] Speaker 18: ... we can hear him.
[01:20:22] Speaker 36: ... the state leg-
[01:20:22] Speaker 18: Hey. Hello. What just happened? What just happened? What? Oh, oh, oh, no. Oh, no. Okay. Um, we have to get him back. We have to get him back. Okay. Um, yeah, I don't know what happened there. I heard some... I heard the studio doing something and I don't know what the studio might have... Yeah, I don't... Yeah, I think so. I think so. All right. Well, we will get, we, we will get Steve Hilton back as quickly as possible. Um, again, the, the, uh, what, wh- what I was telling you, while we're working on getting him back, what I was telling you about was, um, that if you wanted to do a rant and rave, you can call and you can get on board and participate. Now, there's another thing that you can do, and that is that if you would like to become a member of the press, you can go out there and you can actually do man on the street or woman on the street interviews with people that we will put on the air. We'll edit them, okay?
[01:21:40] Speaker 18: But then we, and n- n- not editing it for content, editing it so that, you know, so that it comes across, the ums and the ahs and things like that, you know, don't come across. But, um, if you'd like to, you know, think of yourself as an intern at this point. If you'd like to become a member of the pr- ... press who actually with issues, like to call us at, at Freedom Bell, at 888-385-3733. 888-385-FREE. And we have backed Steve Hilton, candidate for governor of California. Steve, can you hear me okay?
[01:22:24] Speaker 35: I got you. I don't know what quite what happened there.
[01:22:25] Speaker 18: Steve, can you hear me okay?
[01:22:26] Speaker 35: It seemed to be fine on my end, but I'm glad we're reunited.
[01:22:29] Speaker 18: Uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah. I, I don't know what happened either and everything, but I'm glad we are reunited. Now, considering you mentioned some things that strike me, considering that the state legislators in California are predominantly, and with all due respect, Communist Democrats, how do you plan to work with them-
[01:22:50] Speaker 35: Yeah.
[01:22:50] Speaker 18: ... to change the face of politics in California?
[01:22:55] Speaker 35: Well, there's a number of, of, of stages to that answer. The first one is just to point out that when I'm elected governor and take office next year, that will be a political revolution in California. Um, and I will expect the legislature, however it's comprised, to take note of that, especially if it's run by Democrats. After all these years of their lectures on our democracy, how much they care about our democracy, how, how much they hate anyone who tries to overturn elections and so on. Um, well, the people will have spoken. The governor's race easily the most high profile in California, much more high profile than any of their elections in the legislature for their districts. And so I will expect them to work with me to implement the agenda that I will have just been, uh, running on and that people just voted for. That would be my starting point. And, and I would be, um, very surprised if there was a complete stonewall and that they refuse to engage at all.
[01:23:53] Speaker 35: I would be very surprised. I think the dynamic will totally change in California once this momentous decision by the people to put a Republican back in charge has happened. Now, I don't expect them to, uh, want to get everything done that is on my agenda. But remember that the governor of California is ve- It's very a powerful position if you know how to use it, if you understand how government, government works, and if you understand how you can make things happen. Now, I have experience of that. I learned all the ways in which the bureaucrats and the machine try and stop you from doing what you want to do. I saw that firsthand in the UK government when I worked there, right, at the right hand of the Prime Minister. Um, and so I'm very prepared.... for all their tricks and, and, and blockage in the, in the executive branch, and that's where you're gonna have the really big influence.
[01:24:44] Speaker 35: Because so many of the things that really are driving everybody crazy in California is coming out of the executive branch, all these endless agencies and, and, and, um, bureaucracies of state government. And, and by kicking out the climate fanatics and the far-left ideologues, all these people that have stuffed up these agencies for the last, you know, 16 years of one-party rule, and probably longer than that, and putting in their place, uh, common sense people w- who are gonna unleash California energy, make it easier to run your business, bring costs down, all these sensible things, get water to our farmers and so on. We can achieve that through the executive branch if you really know what you're doing and you're well-prepared, which I will be. Because by, you know, already you'll, you'll see I've developed in detail the plans we need to make these changes. For the last three years, I've been traveling California, to California listening to Californians developing the solutions.
[01:25:38] Speaker 35: You can read them at my policy, uh, website, goldentogether.com, or my book, Califailure. Um, and so the plans are there. The people are there. I, as I mentioned earlier, we, we're already putting in place not just a statewide running, uh, set of running mates. That's never happened before in any race for governor where the governor's actually run with running mates for these various and very important state positions so we can work as a team to get things done, but also the appointments to the executive branch. I'm announcing appointments as we go along. By the time we get to November, there'll be a real, serious, credible government-in-waiting, ready to take office and make big changes from day one.
[01:26:17] Speaker 18: I love it. I absolutely love it. All right. I've got a, a tough question for you, and I'm gonna bet nobody has asked this question before, and hopefully you're gonna tackle it. Reports indicate that the vast majority of legislators, both federal and state, do not have proper-
[01:26:35] Speaker 35: (laughs)
[01:26:35] Speaker 18: ... oaths of office, and in some cases have no oaths of office on file. Without an oath of office, a legislator has no authority to sit in office. Will you investigate and address the oaths of office of each California assemblyman and senator and take appropriate action if you find those oaths lacking?
[01:26:58] Speaker 35: Interesting. I do ... I wasn't aware of that. You're right. I haven't been asked that question before. I'll take it away and take a look at it. I mean, I'd love to know from your point of view what's the, um, you know, what, what are the implications there? How, how should I be looking at this question?
[01:27:13] Speaker 18: Well, here's the thing. Okay. In, in, uh, you, you are going to have to take an oath of office when you become governor.
[01:27:19] Speaker 35: Yeah.
[01:27:19] Speaker 18: You're going to have to take an oath of office, "Okay, I promise to this and that and all that." Okay. That, that oath has to be not only taken, but it has to be written, it has to be certified, and it has to be on file in the public venue. We have found that many, many, I'd even say the majority of people in public life do not have proper oaths of office. Some may have taken the oath and not filed it. Some may have not actually taken the oath. But the bottom line is, if they don't have oaths of office, they cannot ... And it doesn't matter who it is, from the president on down. If they don't have oaths of office, they cannot sit in public life, and, uh, they cannot be bonded, okay? They ... Nothing. It, it all falls apart.
[01:28:14] Speaker 18: And I'd love to give you more and more on this, but we can't do it on the air, but, um-
[01:28:20] Speaker 35: (laughs) Okay.
[01:28:20] Speaker 18: ... I think that this would be a tremendo- a tremendous step that you could take, that you could actually start looking into these people in Sacramento and find out who is and who is not properly oathed, um, because if they're not properly oathed, they can't be sitting there doing what they're doing.

[01:29:19] Speaker 18: Yep. Yep. Yeah, I'm back. I'm back. Is, is Steve still wi- Steve, are you still with us?
[01:29:27] Speaker 35: Yeah, I'm here.
[01:29:28] Speaker 18: Steve, are you still with us?
[01:29:29] Speaker 35: Yeah, I'm here.
[01:29:30] Speaker 18: M- okay. Okay. Um, what I ... So, w- what I, what I was saying was I'd be happy to work with you to help you learn about the oaths of office. I think it's a major issue. I really do, especially in California.
[01:29:46] Speaker 35: Well, very interesting. Let's take a look at it. Thank you.
[01:29:49] Speaker 18: Absolutely. I'll be happy to do that. So, um, tell me, tell me about stevehiltonforgovernor.com. And by the way, folks, for is F-O-R, not the number 4. Okay. Stevehiltonforgovernor.com. Is that the best way for people to learn about your candidacy and support your candidacy?
[01:30:10] Speaker 35: Yes, thank you. We're just ab- ... (laughs) It's actually a little bit out of date now because, um, uh, it was wha- it was the website that we put together just before I launched the campaign, and obviously I've been making a lot of, um, policy announcements and other announcements, including the team and the golden ticket and so on since the beginning of the campaign. So it's just about to be updated, but still today, you can go onto stevehiltonforgovernor.com and do the most important thing, which is to get involved in the campaign. Everybody listening and watching, you can all get involved, and there's something useful for everybody to do, whether that's sharing things on social media, talking to your neighbors, yard signs, merch. You know, there's ... It's just a really, really important thing for people to understand that the way we're gonna win this election is through a grassroots army. That's the real people's revolution.... that's gonna make this happen.
[01:30:59] Speaker 35: In California, you've got the massive Democrat machine with all their money, their corrupt money, the funding that they get from the government unions, basically taxpayer money. And so that's what we're up against. But we can do it because people power is stronger, but you've got to get involved. So I'd really appreciate anyone watching or listening. Do it tonight. Go to stevehiltonforgovernor.com.
[01:31:21] Speaker 18: Okay. Uh, now, a moment ago you said that, uh, it's an old website. Is there, is there a different website that is, you know, more up-to-date or should it be Steve-
[01:31:30] Speaker 35: Oh, no. It's just-
[01:31:31] Speaker 18: ... be Steven?
[01:31:31] Speaker 35: It's just that it's going to be updated. It's the only w- website. There's only one. It's the right one. Um, I'm just saying that there's g- it's g- it's shor- it's soon going to be refreshed with the latest, um, announcements that I've made on the, on the campaign trail, including our team and so on. But the, but the button that says get involved, absolutely that's where you need to go and it works perfectly.
[01:31:52] Speaker 18: Now, um, I, I, I, this has been good. I think this has given a, a lot of people at least an initial introduction to Steve Hilton for governor. And by the way, Steve Hilton is the front-running candidate on the Republican side at this point. That's the information that I'm getting-
[01:32:12] Speaker 35: Well, a- among everyone.
[01:32:13] Speaker 18: ... at this point.
[01:32:13] Speaker 35: I mean, I'm in the polls, including all the Democrats.
[01:32:18] Speaker 18: Very good. Well, before I let y- before we go and we have to go to our, to our bottom of the hour break, before we do that, I wanna ask you one quick maybe personal question, and that is that-
[01:32:31] Speaker 35: Mm-hmm.
[01:32:32] Speaker 18: W- what are your feelings, what are your thoughts about what's happening in the United Kingdom right now? The entire country-
[01:32:38] Speaker 35: Oh, please. (laughs)
[01:32:39] Speaker 18: ... seems to be falling apart.
[01:32:42] Speaker 35: Yes. I've never been so relieved and happy that not only have I become a US citizen, one of the proudest days of my life, people may have seen that moment when I took the oath. You're talking about an oath earlier. I took the Oath of Allegiance to the US, and, and that was all filmed, and, and we did that a few years ago. That was on my Fox News show when I became a citizen. But actually, since then, I've also renounced my UK citizenship, (laughs) um, which I'm very happy to have done when you see what's going on in the UK. Um, by the way, they're obviously short partma- part from all the other problems, they're obviously short of money in the UK because they charge you on the way out. I had to pay 482 pounds for my renunciation form.
[01:33:22] Speaker 18: Oh, my. (laughs)
[01:33:22] Speaker 35: But look at what's going on. It's s- it's absolutely unbelievable. You've got Sharia law spreading. You've got 30,000, whatever it is, the number of people arrested for saying things on free- on, on, on social media that the, that the government didn't like. Um, you've got a totally stagnating economy under socialism. I mean, there's a very simple way I put it, which is apart from all the other things I'm fighting for that, that we've spoken about, some of them, making the state Cal-affordable, also common sense on things like biological boys and girls sports and crime and homelessness, all these things I'm fighting for, there's a really deep one, which is I'm f-
[01:33:58] Speaker 18: Yeah, definitely is. Steve Hilton, thank you-
[01:34:01] Speaker 35: ... fighting thing to make sure that this state does not control-
[01:34:03] Speaker 18: Steve, we're, we're out of time. I am sorry about that. It's a hard break. But thank you so much for being with us. We will have you-
[01:34:09] Speaker 37: We'll be back in a moment. You're listening to The Global Freedom Report.
[01:34:09] Speaker 18: ... back, and I will be in touch. I definitely want to find the best way to be in touch.

[01:36:38] Speaker 13: I'm talking with investment fraud attorney Adam Satnick from stopyoursteal.com. Adam, if a person sees their investments lose a lot of money, how can they know whether it's the market or if their advisor has made self-interested investments or even defrauded them?
[01:36:53] Speaker 26: Some investment advisors will promise great returns, but then when it comes time to pay you, they'll say they need more time. This excuse is a red flag. Unscrupulous advisors will keep people in the dark to disguise their self-serving or even illegal actions.

(clears throat) If you would like to be part of the show, the toll-free number is 866-870-KRLA, 866-870-5752. And our question for the week: How do you feel about the U.S. government's relationship with the State of Israel? How do you feel about the U.S. government's relationship with the State of Israel? 866-870-KRLA, 866-870-5752. And now it is time for this week's edition of Lessons in Liberty. There is a principle that dates back to medieval England called jury nullification. Jury nullification is the prince that says that when a jury is about to decide a case, the jury is able to gauge not only the facts and the evidence in the case, but the jury also is able to determine the legitimacy of the law. Jury nullification is the principle in which a jury can decide on whether a law is just and valid.
[01:40:28] Speaker 18: It's what Thomas Jefferson called the last bastion of freedom, the jury's ability to weigh the value of the law itself and not just be a mindless receptacle for government. Now let me tell you a little bit about the, the history of jury nullification. Jury nullification came to light after the Magna Charta, which, by the way, is the correct way to say it, the Magna Charter, not the Magna Carta, of 1215. And at that time, the nobility got together and basically took, took up arms against the king and said, "If you don't sign onto this, we're gonna take your life." (laughs) Uh, and the king ultimately signed onto this and, and that was the Magna Carta, Magna Charter that laid the foundation of fundamental law that we all enjoy today.
[01:41:48] Speaker 18: Well, in the, I believe it was the 15th century, there, there was an incident, there was a situation that came up involving William Penn, after whom Pennsylvania is named, and William Meade, and the two of them were teaching people about the principles of Quakerism. Now you have to remember, back then the only accepted religion was the Holy Roman Empire, okay? And at the, at that time, England, okay, had the proper religion, if you will.And Quakerism was not it. (laughs) And William Penn and William Mead went about preaching the ideals of Quakerism. Well, that was not acceptable in 15th century or 16th century England, and so they ended up being arrested. And their crime was preaching Quakerism. Now, that wasn't the end of it, because there were juries that were there to render guilt or innocence. That's what juries were.
[01:43:25] Speaker 18: But in this particular situation, the members of the jury on William Penn's trial were essentially told by the court that William Penn was guilty of violating the law that said, uh, only- only Roman Catholic wa- only Roman Catholicism was valid. Anybody preaching- anybody preaching any other kind of religion was guilty. And so William Penn was guilty of this, and you, the jurors, have to find him guilty. That's what you have to do. Well, the jurors didn't like that. They wondered at that and they said, you know, he- he's- he's not hurting anybody. He's simply, you know, telling people about Quakerism. And William Mead was doing the same thing, and William Mead was accused of the same crime. So when it came time for the jurors to render their verdict, they came back to the court and they said, "You know, we don't see anything wrong with what William Penn and William Mead have done.
[01:44:42] Speaker 18: We- we just cannot find him guilty." Well, believe it or not, the- the court didn't accept that, and they threw the jurors in a dungeon. And they said that, "When you come back with the right verdict, we'll let you out." Now, understand, this dungeon was a real dungeon. It had no food, no water, no sleeping arrangements, no toilet arrangements. It literally was a- a dungeon. And they were being starved and they w- they were not given anything to drink. They were being literally tortured. And what it did was it got... The jurors got even more upset about it. They got more angry. And so after- after a while, the court brought the jurors out and asked them for a verdict and the jurors said, "He's not guilty. They're not guilty." And they wouldn't accept that, and they threw the jurors back in the dungeon. No food, no water, no toilet facilities. This went on for quite a while, but the word got out to the people.
[01:45:52] Speaker 18: The word got out to the people, and when the people realized what was going on, they wouldn't have it. And the people revolted and the people said, "You will let these people out. You will not do this. These people, uh, have a right to vote their verdict on their conscience." And ultimately, the public pressure was so substantial that they had to let the jurors out. William Penn and William Mead were indeed found not guilty, and the principle of jury nullification was born. The cornerstone of freedom in a republic is that a jury has the right...
