Pastor Joe Opens Raising Expectations

In this episode of Raising Expectations, Pastor Joe Schofield welcomes listeners and introduces the show’s regular team, including Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Dr. Paul Hall, Ron Greer, and the wider Raising Expectations family. Pastor Joe reminds listeners that the program is rooted in Christian faith, encouragement, prayer, and practical wisdom for life in America today. He also highlights the show’s website, the hosts’ books, and the program’s ongoing desire to help people move forward with hope, clarity, and stronger faith.

Frank Roberson and Black Rhino Group

The guest for the episode is Frank Roberson, founder of the Black Rhino Group, a protection and security organization. Pastor Joe introduces Frank as someone who works in protective services, counterintelligence, and security preparedness for families, businesses, and public leaders. When Frank joins the show, he shares that Black Rhino is expanding and may be acquiring its first security company to build out a uniformed division. He also says the world of protection is changing quickly because technology is evolving so fast.

Smart Glasses, AI, and the New Surveillance Problem

A major focus of the conversation is emerging technology, especially Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and similar devices. Frank explains that glasses with hidden or subtle camera functions create new security risks because people can record video, capture documents, photograph credit cards, observe jewelry stores, or gather private information without others realizing it. The group discusses how this can affect malls, medical offices, corporate meetings, financial institutions, and everyday family privacy. Frank emphasizes that the same tools available to security professionals are also available to criminals.

Data Privacy, Cloud Storage, and Digital Exposure

The discussion expands into data privacy and the risks of cloud storage, facial recognition, AI-generated images, and social media data. Frank explains that uploaded videos, photos, and recordings may pass through systems controlled by third parties, contractors, or cloud providers, leaving people uncertain about who has access. He also discusses AI photo tools that can create realistic images of people using uploaded pictures, warning that someone could gather photos from social media and create fake profiles, poses, websites, or misleading content.

Scams, Phishing, and Protecting Personal Information

Frank gives several examples of modern scams, including fake invoices, fraudulent text messages, fake Apple or AT&T alerts, payday-loan threats, gift-card scams, fake legal-service calls, and voice imitation scams targeting grandparents. He explains that criminals may study billing patterns, imitate companies, slightly alter email addresses, and trick people into paying fake bills. His advice is to avoid clicking suspicious links, independently look up company contact information, call the company directly, and never volunteer personal details just because someone on the phone asks for verification.

Social Security Numbers, Travel Posts, and Everyday Risk

The hosts discuss how easily people give away identifying information. Frank explains that social security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and travel information can be combined to steal identities, commit fraud, or target homes. He warns against posting vacation photos while still away, because criminals can use public social media information to know that a house is empty. The group also discusses family code words as a practical tool when someone receives a frightening call that appears to be from a relative in danger.

Security, Churches, and the Problem of Visibility

The conversation turns to physical security, including churches, public events, and protective details. Frank says many churches are vulnerable because they are open, welcoming, and often not security-minded. He also criticizes overly visible security teams that draw attention to themselves with tactical gear, open firearms, or dramatic behavior. In his view, good protection often means blending into the environment, staying unnoticed, and positioning people wisely rather than making a show of force.

Protective Work and Practical Wisdom

Frank uses examples from jewelry escorts, public figures, high-net-worth families, restaurants, malls, and public events to explain how proper security works. He says protection is often about preparation, observation, and quiet placement, not ego or intimidation. Pastor Joe and the team connect Frank’s practical advice to a larger theme of preparedness: people should not live in fear, but they should be aware, wise, and ready. The episode closes with Dr. Paul Hall praying for Frank, his wife Chrissy, Black Rhino, and all those involved in protection work, asking for wisdom, safety, and God’s guidance.

Hey, it's Monday night folks. Good to see all of you. Actually, we can't see you, but we know
you're there and thanks for being with us on this week's edition of raising expectations. We're
sure thankful that you are with us. You know all of us. We are believers. We're excited about our
country. We're excited about what John's doing and we're in prayer for everybody. And tonight we got
a special guest. He's coming. Don't worry. James Bond me a good call, but he's coming in. Don't worry.
He will be there. He came in and he's on his way. So don't worry. And in the meantime,
hey, I hope things are going well in your life. Racing expectations stands for just what it says.
We know the Lord Jesus Christ. We're Christians. We believe what the Bible says because we believe
it's the Word of God and it's great to think that every single day we could talk to God about it.
And sometimes he talks to us when we really aren't ready. And all of a sudden we understand
things we didn't know what to ask. You ever done that? You couldn't ask the question because
you get an answer because you couldn't formulate the question. Sometimes God comes in and some of
the most difficult things and form relates to the question for you and then gives an answer.
So I hope he's working that way in your life. We get a lot of testimony, things that you say are
working in your life. And we're always glad to hear those things. And so it's going to be a great
night. You're going to enjoy being with us again tonight. I hope you told your friends because
trying to have some good things to share. You know our company, you know who we are, you know the
guys in the gals that are part of our special team. So very quickly, I'm just going to go and give
the names that we're jumping in and talk about our guests and show our guests. And hopefully he is
sent to go there where we get going. But on the west coast, you know we have Dr. Paul Hall
who is in Lompo, California and Paul is retired pastor and speaker and he's done just about
everything. You all know Paul. We're excited that he's here with us tonight. And before we go to
these coasts, on my right coast, which would be my right arm, my best partner right here is my wife.
Melva is from Texas and she's here with me and we're excited. We always pray for all of you. We
pray for our team. We pray for what God's doing. And the words are so many things are coming back
to us. So Melva, I'm so glad you're here. So we too. Amen. Okay. All right. So the two of us now will
come with Paul that makes three. We're going to go all the way to the east coast there. And you'll
find there that we have on George, you know, Dalton, George. In fact, we have with us Dr. Craig
and Stephanie there. Stephanie and Craig right there. And it's good to see them all the way from
the east coast. And he is a surgeon. He has a book out and I'm going to invite you to why we're
looking at this. In the meantime, we're doing a lot of work on some of these things. I'm going to
look new to you in the coming weeks. But if you go to our website bbsradio.com
forward slash racing expectations bbsradio.com forward slash raising expectations. You will see
on there some different things that that about the people and about our show and about what's going on
and we invite you to read on your own there. You don't find also the books. You'll find Dr.
Thayer's book. Craig has a great book out called Saved. And you'll find that right there finding
out what God does in the ordinary, the things that God's done in his life. Pretty exciting. You
want to read about it because God will encourage you in your life by doing that. Also above that,
you'll find my book, which is hopefully legitimate faith in a way that produces a great authentic
home. Zig Ziglar said to me, said, I want that informed. We put it out. I'm thankful that it's
helping people. So you want to find those books. And also on his right, you'll find his his wife.
And she has done so many things. Stephanie is amazing. And the two of them fit together.
We always do call them our dynamic duo on what they do in life. And they love the Lord. They love
each other. And they love people when you have those three things coming up to the plate. You're
clean up here. It's a home run every time because God speaks to the arts of people around you,
simply by them being there. This is a couple just like that. So you're going to want to get
to know them. Check the page bbsradio.com forward slash racing expectations. So also, if you come
back from the east coast there in Georgia, the south, the north part of the south, which is close.
And you come all the way back to Texas, and you'll find there in the Dallas area,
are one of our most favorite. That's not an oxymoron, but it's really cool with this guy.
You're going to see him in McKinney, Texas. And that's faster. Ron Greer.
Ron is a great man of God. Great family. Ron is a counselor. Works with man in the mirror out of
I believe it's Florida, but he handles it in Texas. Look him up on the website and you'll see more.
You get to read about what he does also. And as well as get to know, we want to know you.
I get excited every time I can respond, not just for ourselves here. Melba and I, but also for you
and sharing about the team. And I've used their names to some of you. Check in on them. See how
they're doing. They'd love to get a text from you and hear how you are. So again, we know that God's
working in our midst. There are great things happening. Just want to tell you something.
We're doing some changes in the show and it's going to be exciting. Some very neat things are
coming up. We've been talking about it for a while. Some of them are coming into fruition right now.
I can't wait to share them even with the rest of the team on some of the things that God is doing.
Simply amazing. So we want you to know that tonight, our special guest,
and I don't know what has happened here. No answer on that number. I hope there hasn't been an
emergency, but in any event, we're going to go ahead and I'm going to ask to just go ahead.
Frank Roberson, as you know, is part of our team. He's the founder of the Black Rhino Group.
That's a protection agency. And in the world we live in today, he helps people and takes care of
families, businesses, and really kind of protects them in different ways where this is needed.
Also, he has a protective services, counterintelligence. He safeguards political leaders,
like President Trump and others cultivating the spiritual awareness for everyday life,
making us all kind of stop and think about it. Hope you read what I put in there by learning
from Frank Sex's critiques. We've gained clarity. What clarity navigating life's challenges,
understanding the importance of preparedness. Like he always says, don't be a reactionary,
but be prepared ahead of time so that you don't have to just react. So life depends on it like he
says, and Frank also offers practical wisdom to help you navigate life's complexities with confidence.
So we don't want you to miss this powerful discussion that we're going to be having with him,
as soon as he gets here. So he'll be on his way. And we don't know. But one thing this group has
always been famous for, we're never short of words. So we're going to go right in and this,
and we're going to open up with a thought. And you've been following the news. So I'm going to kick
this out and let everybody share here. We've been talking like three things tonight he was going
to share on. And we're going to look, yeah, like Paul says, close enough. But anyway, we're going to
go ahead and look tonight at like three things that he was going to give us some new insight in.
There's new things out there. And that is the White House, you know, had a problem just a week ago
with the president in session there. And just have somebody come in there and you know the
horrible thing. He was killed at the gate. He was firing shots in the White House. And you all know
the story, I won't go into it. But he was told that the police and the special Secret Service
men that were there and the women that were leading it also, that we needed to move the
parameter two blocks out from the White House. So there was more distance between somebody getting
close and the White House. Interesting thing that the Democratic government there in Washington DC
didn't want to do that because people needed to be able to walk on the road and see things.
So anyway, there's an interesting discussion and so it's two on that for a minute. And then we're
looking at so many of the celebrations that are coming up, June is just beginning now.
So it's going to be exciting to see what happens for the 250th anniversary of the United States of
America. And what we're talking about is going to be really exciting. And they're on the on the
mall. You've all gone on the mall probably in Washington between Lincoln and the Constitution
where the Congress meets all the time. And the Washington Monument in the middle there, I guess
it's going to be packed. All kinds of things are coming out now. So we're going to talk about
that. How do you protect your family and how do you get in and out? And what do you think we would
do about that? He had some thoughts on that he was going to share. And then also your family.
So when we think about this, and then O'Ron always says a good input on this because his wife
always reminds him. But when you go in a restaurant, where you go somewhere, what are you doing? You
could ask, no, we went out to eat a week ago. And I sat down, you want to sit here? No, I don't
sit here. I looked around, I got back, I got my back to the wall. But we talked about that. And I
said, you kind of remember what Frank said, O'Ron will give Ron the credit to on that one. So Frank
is live. I think he's coming in now. It's helicopter must have landed. Many of you really like this
thing. We did put James Bond up for you because, you know, it's on the corner here. I was nothing
on our Frank. So we thought you might enjoy that. So we got a lot of comments on that too.
Some of you asked if that was Ron's thing, but he probably used that in the past at times. But
anyway, he's going to be honest really quick here. And if he's still here, he's still
good. There we go. He made it. Oh, that's why it was he's sold down by the Cowboys.
Yeah. So anyway, Frank, we've had a great time talking about you. It's all been good. So we mentioned
the things we talked about, the White House perimeter, celebrations in the Capitol Mall,
and family, and how that fits into all of our lives. First of all, how are you, sir?
Good. How are you guys? Thanks for having me back on. I appreciate it. I didn't have a link. So I had
to get a link. So I'm told to keep it book market. So I got it for for next time. I don't have it.
I like your still a bit for a tire that's going on there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's a tiny class. Keep up alive. Keep up alive. I like that.
Being a cowboy fan is just like the old starring chain. You know.
Yeah. Look at optimism. Keep up alive. I love it.
That's right. Never give up.
I'll be calling all y'all for prayers come September 13th.
Blue in your honor. You see, we've all got a ton of blue and then the referee shirt is black.
He's in there to be said to go. I got the flag in case we need a replay or a penalty.
You go wrong. Oh, good.
Oh, my goodness. Well, tell us how you're doing and how do you what's going on in the world of
taking care of folks and we'll get it down to where we live to. Well, everything's going great.
Black Rhino is expanding growing. We're looking at possibly acquiring our first
security company. So we don't have to reinvent the wheel on a uniform division.
Oh, we had a meeting on that last week. We had a couple guys going in to start negotiations on that.
A lot of fun stuff. A lot of new tech stuff coming in and I think we're going to talk about that
a little bit today and how tech and security and a couple other things I've done last couple of days.
We've talked about how the bad guys are using the same.
Now with me that the good guys are using. So if we want to talk about that, we can touch on that
as well. I've been testing out these the new Ray band meta glasses and going different by
the sunglasses and the regular ones and how that affects security because we went to the mall in
Dallas, the gallery in got in Dallas and we stayed in Dallas over the weekend to kind of get away
from everything. And it's interesting how many people actually wear those glasses in public,
whether they're working or not. And then I saw some security people at some of the stores we went
into. And some of them were wearing the glasses. And then I'm sitting there walking around, okay,
how many bad guys? Somebody over your shoulder snap a picture of those glasses of your credit
card being handed over or just following you around or doing those kinds of things. So
I'm not the only paranoid one. Huh? So I'm not the only paranoid one. Yeah.
No, you're not the only one. I was something that while Christy was in the store, I was sitting
with the guys, you know, sitting around waiting for our significant other shopping and was noticing
people and all the people walking around with those glasses. And there's more than you think and
most people don't realize it. And going into a jewelry store and turn on the video videos,
I think for three and a half minutes or something like that. You know, no, you don't have the case
to join anymore like in the old days. You know, now you just video and looking around. I used
it for for putting the other day. I did a video on my Instagram on how I putt and use the glasses
in it. But in the mall, I'm sitting there going, okay, I'm in the Rolex store. I could be looking
okay, there's an officer over there officer over here video and everything. And nobody knows I'm
videoing anything. Yes. So that's technology sure has changed the way protection is gone.
It was going the last couple of years. So I'm not my wife watching recording of that. This first
I mean, my wife watched recorded his first part here. So, amen. He just vindicated me. Thank you.
I didn't even know these glasses existed. I mean, just heard of it. Oh, well,
the second second version of them too. I would tell the second version. And if you go online and
you put it in there, accessories for them, there are guys that sell the little things that go over
the camera portion of it. Because when when you take a picture, it does flash to warn somebody
that you're going to picture or video, a little light will be blinking. But they have a thing
that'll go over it or you can still do that. And nobody knows your video.
Anything with anybody at the mall or the valet guy or anything. Security guys,
the guy at the SWAT shop was using it. And imagine if he got any in any weird conversations, all
he has to push the little button for a second. I think he's rubbing his eye and a lot of them
automatically start videoing for him. I heard though, like the next agenda of that is going to be
official recognition. They do have an upgraded car that have a vision inside there, different
things that can see it. You can read it inside the glasses of those are a little higher.
That's up screen. Yeah. What's kind of screen? What did you say? I'm sorry.
That's up screen. So some of the cars, the fighter pilots have all kinds of technologies.
So it's on the window or this. Yeah.
So what's one of the major security issues in places of financial institutions and
places like that and offices and so forth? I may not have a question if that was in a medical
office and our lovely physician assistant left some records on the counter and there was a guy
standing there with glasses on him going. Is he recording? Is he getting health information or
yeah, yeah. And because you're in the public side of it, I mean, I guess in the private office,
you can ask him to remove the glasses or whatever. But yeah, I know that it's, I think the Attorney
General Texas has actually filed something on meta about the privacy side of it. I don't know
how that's going to work because then people are going to have to put stuff on their door. No
meta glasses. So you can't wear your prescription glasses into a store or something. You know, that
kind of yeah, but that is a it's getting worse. Those threats with the tech going into offices
and things like that. It used to be when someone even broke into your home or an office, they'll
take the TV, they take the computers, they'll do all that stuff. Now they're looking for stuff
that that means more money to them, which is information. Now, you see how many how many spy
movies do we see where the guy carries a little bit of camera and he's trying to take these
little pictures or trying to scan these things. Now you just push a button and you can sit there
and look at the document, video everything on the desk and turn on and download that and have it on
your on your computer at home by the time he got home. It's it's it's scary. Yeah.
I was introduced by my son got the first iteration back probably probably two years ago now.
And he was joyfully showing me what they do and how I could do it. And I was horrified.
Yeah. I'm going to what how was that legal?
Yeah. I mean, I mean, things like again, looking at a book or looking at a paper and
and then having it, basically taking a picture of it and then being able to download it and going,
wait, wait, wait, wait, what? How can you do that? How is that possible? Yeah. And I reminded of
Tom Cruise Secret Service. I mean, this I spy movie back when he announced reality.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. And you know, I touched on it already, but I had a conversation with somebody
the other day. I actually a group of investors and we're talking about the technology. And
well, it's a good thing the good guys have all that technology to detect the bad guys. And so,
well, the bad guys get it too. The first thing I learned, the first meeting I ever had to to
teach me or help me get my protection career started back in 2001 was if I can think about it,
the bad guys have already thought about it. Yeah. Over. Yeah. I'll give you an example. Napo
last year when I was there for that family office conference, their signature event there.
I met a guy that had anti drone technology. And his his technology is about the size of a shoe box,
but it's so new. It costs a million dollars a shoe box. And it's a regeneration of the big
trailer that has to be pulled behind the Humvee. Now it's in a box. So he his big
presentation was an airfield, an abandoned airfield where they had 15 of these boxes up and they let
150 drones go up in the air. And within 90 seconds, all those drones were gone. And you didn't see how
there was nobody pointing anything at me. All of a sudden, they just fall out of the sky, right?
And it was up where they zapping them, right? So then one of his investors is best friends with
Larry Ellison, who's building a house apparently on the coast of Florida somewhere. And he says,
so Larry Ellison's house can have these boxes around the exterior perimeter. So if somebody's
on the water in a little boat, and they put up a drone, those lasers will take out the drunks,
they hone in on that little red signal. Like if I'm sweeping your room looking for cameras,
we look the devices we use look for the little red dots. That means there's something working
and operating. So I said, that's really cool technology takes all that stuff down. So let me
ask you a question. So if I'm the guy in a little boat, and I have your little million dollar box,
and I'm pointing at Larry Ellison's house, and I use that laser to take out all the little red
dot cameras that he has all around the perimeter of his house. And he goes, well, yeah, but that's
not what it's been for. Of course, men for that. But the bad guys are going to think that that's
what men do. They do as much recon, advanced work, whatever you want to call it. I don't know
what the bad guys call it. I don't know if they call it advancing, or they have some more sinister
word for it. But they do as much advanced work as we do. I mean, you know, if they're looking at
at you, Joe and Melba, and they want to get at you guys, and they know what restaurants,
because they watch you, they can have guys sitting in the restaurant watching you guys for weeks,
trying to figure out what your patterns are and doing all that kind of stuff. Use the glasses,
they can use all the technology that that we purchased to use, because when you sign up for
the technology, they don't ask if you're a good guy or bad guy. You build up and you can build
a fake security site. You know, I mean, it's really easy to get access to the same technology
that we use. So here's another concern I have. Well, two in particular. One is,
again, as my son explained how he's working, I did more reading on it. So the information,
and even the video footage that's taken about the glasses, I ask him, how does that get to your
cloud? How does it get to your computer? He goes, well, it just upflows it. I'm going, so if meta
controls the cloud, and say, for instance, some guy in Kenya, who's a contractor for meta,
has access all that data information, how do you know who has it? And where is it going?
Because not only does he do words in his office, when they have meetings, he works for an organization,
he's having an organization, and they have conversations in private, so-called meetings
between them and the board of directors or major funders. I'm going, all this information is being
recorded and being uploaded. Who sees that? And how do you ensure that they don't? And I have no
one explaining yet how you can stop that. And I know for a fact, even our organization, we have
contractors in South Africa who they work remotely. So you pass on all the information through which
server where and who controls that? That's a good question, but I don't want to push you
over the ledge. But here's another thing. You can do a live stream video on a Facebook messenger
for any contact on Facebook. So now you can, I can send my wife a video of me on the golf course,
live while I'm on the golf course on Instagram or on messenger with these things. And again,
we were walking through the mall yesterday and she's been looking for a new dresser for a long
time and we looked at a couple things. I didn't put it on my phone, but we're looking at her computer
and we looked at, oh, and the name of the furniture is kind of crazy hook or furniture,
but they have desks and not padded desks, but they're just desks. And next thing I know,
this afternoon, I get an email from Parago or whatever, a company that makes another version of the desk
and then the same desk and another way on my Facebook feed. I send Christie the link,
I said, how in the world, because I was making fun of the name hook or furniture. That's all I was
doing. I was just saying it and making jokes about the name of the furniture. And next thing,
you know, I get ads and links on my my phone this afternoon to go purchase it and go look at it.
Oh, I mean, that this thing causes me, I mean, if I think about it, it actually calls me,
hairs in my back, my neck. I did and primarily because part of our requirement with the ministry
is that there's this digital training that we require so many hours a month, you know,
phishing emails and data, what do you call it, data farming and blah, blah, blah.
You start looking at all the requirements they sent us through to prevent certain things, you go,
okay, that's not happening to the average person. So someone walking around with those glasses on
have no clue what kind of information they're sharing out there. And then you'd like you said,
if we know that, criminals know that. So it scares me. It really does.
The two pictures that I sent Joe, he picked the more action-packed one,
and not the professional one. You picked, I didn't see what both of them you guys did.
Yeah. But both pictures, all pictures are cool.
It was cool. They're both from an AI app where you upload 26 pictures of yourself.
So it looks as real as humanly possible. Yes. Yes.
But I do that for Kristia her birthday is next week. So I have a cool AI picture made of her
coming down the steps in this gold down that that's going to go in her post. But I could go
get pictures off anyone's Facebook page, get 26 of them or whatever, and use the same app to go
create all these other poses and all these other things to create all these new websites and all
these new things using your picture, Ron, or yours or Paul's or anybody else's. I mean,
it's getting kind of out of hand. I mean, really scary. Really scary.
I mean, the video market, the ring, the wise, I think it was the ring that was going to try
and when someone would lose their dog, they take all the neighbors in the surrounding area
and allow you to look through their cameras for your dog. I'm like, that's an invasion of privacy.
Wow. Wow. That's scary. That's scary. That's scary.
I hear my other concern is the impact of AI. It's it's it's that rose. I think of the
the availability and the rapid availability of data. It's so especially if some things
that are stored in the cloud that that's probably one of my biggest pet peeves with a lot of young
people I talked with. Everybody's got cloud storage and everything goes in the cloud and
knowing can ever answer the question to me, who has your data? Yeah, who has who has a sense of
information? One, it particularly is you have what is it? Last pass. We just had a big lawsuit
settlement. Why? Because multiple hundreds of thousands of people's passwords and past keys
are now out on the on the black market because somewhere somewhere there's someone violated.
I'm sorry. Go ahead. Sorry. No, you're good. So you could go get yourself cloaked. There's an app
that will immediately remove you from everything. But you can go and remove yourself from everything.
And then all of a sudden target's going to get hit. And if you shop at Target now, they got all
your info or Texas DMV a few years ago that was was hacked into the NSA for good. It's
six was hacked into. You know, our information is out there. It is it's critical to keep track
of stuff and make sure they're getting more and more sophisticated in the text messages they send
you to I got one today about something my Apple my Apple account was used for some purchases for
$284 and 69 cents and blah, blah, blah. Oh, don't reply to this. But we want you to call us at this
number and I'm not doing that. You're not getting my voice either. Right. You know,
AT&T. And it came from a number that started with plus 12. Oh, yeah. Okay, sure. And then I got
some all your your speeding ticket has been escalated parking tickets. And it's a foreign phone number.
They're still making some mistakes. But there's there's some real we're actually at call
AT&T. Hey, did you really send me this message? Yeah, and they said, that's that's not one of
our messages. But they're so the advice, the advice advice would be how do you how do you
event and I mean, prevent and avoid that that whole fishing phenomena? What would you tell people?
Well, I'll tell you what I if I haven't done business with that person, I just delete it.
Okay. Like Nord Nord VPN. I get these messages emails all the time that says it's a PayPal receipt
for your Nord blah, blah, blah. If you didn't make it purchase, click this link. Right. I never
look at and never shopped it for Nord, you know, anything like that. The other thing you can do is
I immediately go and Google the company that is coming from. And then if there's a phone number
for them, I'll call them the company direct. So if anything is just suspicious, but here's the
thing. I may have told the story a couple of years ago when I was on the wine family work
for out in California, they had a lady that pays all the bills. And for months, there had been
hackers inside her system. There was it's it's and it was the system. The gentleman I took over for
said the system was like a NASA, a NASA levels kind of security system. These people got in
somehow probably from an employee hitting the wrong button and they get in and they don't do
anything. But months later, after they analyzed all the bills that came in, when they come in,
they found out what the patterns are. They find out that that information. So they found their
largest customer. They found the pattern when the bill comes in. They duplicated that bill
they sent the email with a misspelling of the name of the person that comes out, but it was only
one letter. So very, or you know, you couldn't tell, or you can get a fake fake email. I forget
what fake email where it actually has the real spelling of the lady's name. But it was sent two
hours before they thought they knew that the real bill was being sent. This lady went in there and
paid a $400,000 bill. And and two and a half, three hours later, when she got the bill email,
she reached out to them and say, Hey, I paid the bill a couple, three hours ago. Well, I don't know
how you did that because we just sent the bill just now. And then they went back and they looked
and they hovered over the email. And there was a difference in the email. And it was coming from
fake email. And they can't get that $400,000 back. And then they spent the next three days trying to
figure out how to tell her a teleball. Wow. Like of a button cost her $400,000 because they didn't
double check. So nowadays, they won't even go in there, you know, go run your card up at the gas
station. They're going to sit there and they're going to go through your network. They're going to
find people to send emails to customers or clients. Hey, your bill this month is up, you know, and
then they're expecting that bill every month. And then unless they're diligent and check on that,
they're going to automatically click on something. But you got to pay attention to when things come.
If you do business with those people, don't do business with those people,
you know, those kinds of things. And there's another there's a couple scams where they say
your account is being we need to get you on the phone. There's a documents that need to be served
to you blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And you get on the phone with them and they start talking about
some account that you never had. I think cash loan cash paid a loans or whatever they call it.
I was playing along with the guys. Really? I didn't know. Back in 2017. Oh, yeah, you're going to
serve me. You're going to what do you mean you served me already? You're going to court or you
have to serve me before I got to go to court. Oh, no, we can do that by phone and we can validate
it by phone. So you need to pay us now is if we if we get off this phone call and you haven't paid
us, all we have to do is push a button and it validates it with the courts and you're going to get,
you know, that counts as service. I mean, do you think I was born yesterday?
One guy was trying to get me to go to Walmart to get a gift card gift card.
So I was on a gift card to build and give him the gift card number for the $300.
It was a dude. I'm going to go to Walmart. I will get the thing, you know, and and he's trying to
explain to me and he he texts me back or whatever and did you get the Walmart card?
And I'm like, dude, I didn't leave my house. What do you came? You were wasting my time.
You're just I said, you're the one who's trying to scam my buddy.
Well, I had a personal experience where she probably might be telling this. Anyway,
a woman I know was was trying to send the son of cash app, a son to money, but somehow
wouldn't know if it was too much to send by cash app. So I decided just go on and Google
cash app and then got to something to look like cash app, saw that, clicked on it and then called
and they took her through all kinds of things. And she got frustrated at school and then came home
to ask me to look at it. So I'm looking at it. She download this app. It's supposed to help do
something. I go, wait, what? So I get on the phone talking to somebody, Robert,
he's talking about a mumbai, probably sounds like. So I'm asking him questions and he's still
trying to do this competent, you know, scam thing. And finally, he wanted me to transfer this and
let him in account and transfer this. I said, okay, I'm not doing that. But no, I just transferred
in your in your account. So he transferred about $2,000 eventually. And then I go, okay,
we're done. Shut the thing off. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Wait, I'm not done. I say, you're done.
So he shut shut the thing off. So we kept $1,500.
But $1,500. $1,500 a Bitcoin. Oh, by the way, Uncle Sam sent me a, what is it?
income statement for $1,500. That's another side.
But so we, and I was getting information as I did it and then called the cops and their
digital fraud department. So if I need to talk to the police officer, he sounded like he had
he had a care in the world about doing it. He eventually came to the house,
spoke to my wife who was horribly upset. And I'm angry. And he goes, he did not show
on. I said, well, let me ask you something. I said, it seems as if somehow you're busy,
you got something else to do. I'm not giving the sense that you're interested in what
case he goes, he said, no, no, but you know, you guys got away pretty 50 hundred bucks.
He said, it's not a big deal. I said not a big deal. He says, sir, I just left a 80 year old
gentleman who just got scammed for $35,000 in gift cards. I go, okay.
But it's that one. And then my mom, and another friend, I had to intervene there because she
got a phone call from her grandson, who was stranded and was begging her to help him because
they were going to do something to him, you know, do such and such and such. And I said,
there wasn't him. No, no, no, I know it was him. He called me. I said, no, mom, they digitized
his voice and it made it seem like it is. She goes, no, it was him. I got to help him. It took me
20 minutes to talk her down. She was that convinced by she was going to send him money because he
was trapped someplace. And my friend, Harry, late friend, Vietnam that same way, had
so swole, stranded in Mexico. And they needed it needed with $1,000, or they're going to take
you blah, blah, blah. And actually his wife and me on the phone, it's not exactly like him.
Exactly like him. Scared the like daylight side of me. Yeah. My old, I have a thing now to my kids,
everybody else. We got a code word. You don't say the code word? Sorry. Yeah.
Yeah. We put the code word thing in, I think a year and a half ago or so with the family
programs. We do the code words. So yeah, I actually stole a few, Frank, just just in the future.
Oh, okay. Nice. I think you should put a pamphlet out, Frank. Maybe just a small pamphlet that we
send out to people, especially moms and dads. How do you perceive some of these things? Maybe
it won't be the exact answer. We're gonna flip a lot of lights on in their mind. Hey, wait a
minute. Like Ron said, what do you think about this? And they don't know who to go to on stuff like
this, the majority. Yeah. A few years back, they were sending emails. Yeah. They were saying that
I was stranded in a friend of mine called me. And he said, do you still need the $2,000?
Talking about, he said, we've got an email that you were stranded somewhere in order to get
you home, you need about 2000. I said, no, that wasn't me. But you can send me the $2,000.
You can send me to my address or my bag. Yeah. I am stranded.
We have a similar one going in our area where it's the police station or the sheriff station or
something that calls you. And they're saying it's like, you know, to get warrant, whatever.
It's not actually them, but they've somehow linked to the phone line.
Well, in our community are talking about it. So they're getting really advanced.
Yeah. They're spending money on technology. Like the good guys are trying to find them.
I think I told you guys once before that on the dark web, you can buy
100,000 identities for 10 grand. Oh my goodness. Whatever. You can buy anything on it.
When I had to go through my counterintelligence studies, we had to go on the deep web. We had to
do a, you know, we had to go get a separate computer that had a whole new anything in it and had
nothing connected to any networks that we were touching at all. We had an external
Wi-Fi anything because if you get on there and they have a whiff of that you're in their playing
around. They will backtrack you and they will take your world down. But you have this little
disposable laptop, $200 from Office Depot, and you go in there and you can buy anything, any kind
of weapons with any kind of things on it, any kind of municipal drugs, any kind of thing.
They had some really bad sites on there too. It's not appropriate to talk about a couple of them.
But not of the sexual type of just weird things that they put out on the internet. But
you can hire a hitman for $10,000. But I will tell you that they have ethics there because it can't be
a top 10 on the political list and it can't be under 18. So,
we got some ethics, you know, some sort of moral. I don't know who.
Absolutely. But even the birth date, these kids have figured out that they just add a few years
here or there. They're already 18 even though they're 12. So, I saw that happening when they first set up
Facebook stuff. Yeah. Because I knew you were 10 and they were already on the network. I said,
one of the other big things is people who post pictures while they're on trips. Oh, wow. We
tried on post ours when we get back. But we always have somebody here at the house watching the
house anyway. I won't say about that another couple. We know like that. But then it was.
The church yesterday and everybody churches like,
where'd you go? Florida? And I was like, no. And so, and they go, what? I'm like, oh, that was
from before, you know, so we mix it up all the time for the same. Well, that's good.
But tell us why Frank, why is that a bad idea, Frank? It is a very bad idea. Here's why,
because if it's on Facebook, they have your first and last name, they have all this information on
you on Facebook, including birthdays and all those other kinds of things. And guess what?
Not the kind of tier one software that we use, but there are a thousand websites on there. You
pay $35. You go put wrong gears, name and birthday in there. It's going to give you his address.
It's going to give you all this stuff. And you know, he's gone for a 12 big cruise in the Mediterranean.
So all you got to do is go make sure nobody's at the house. And the house is you could sit in the
house all day long and go through their computer. Do anything you want in the house. Yeah,
we have cameras in our in our house in the offices and the door garage. We have a camp my father-in-law
tries to catch up with this. Our sneak up on us when he comes to the house. We kind of keep telling
it's set up for my mother-in-law for real. But if she hits the driveway, we get an alert. If she
hits the anywhere closer to the garage, we get an alert. And she turns towards the doorway, we get
an alert. We got the camera. All sides out there protecting me from my mother-in-law.
We can call property and we have a driveway alert and it's one of my favorite features.
Absolutely. I even have it where it says, you know, you can program the faces on there because it has
facial recognition on the door door and the other ones. And I put Evil Disney Queen and so it'll
pop up. Evil Disney Queen is in your driveway. I just want I want my big drive up when the
light comes on and the sign files all the same. Just make in mind.
Yeah.
You guys don't hear from me tomorrow. That's because she was.
No, there's there's a thousand different things. I mean, I told you the incident where I was going to
visit a friend of mine that got the motorcycle accident. Christy and I were going along and we
security guard let us in after hours are going in. We're signing in. I said, man, this is a lot
of information. I'm surprised they don't ask for a social security number. Man, you guys can have
my social security number. Mine is this this is all the way through all nine numbers.
Wow. And then we go, wow, that's crazy because the things that people can do is so
dude, mine is this and he read it off a second time. Oh, how many other people has he told his social
security number to? Right. He thinks it's any as well, they can look at my credit. I'm not
it's not credit anymore. Not about credit in court. You're probably getting benefits at the company you
work for at a hospital. They can get your benefits. They can get you this, they can get your house,
they can get your car, they can get all these other things. And people still don't understand how
important that number is. And during our counterintelligence studies, one of the things we had to do is we
had a time limit of 45 minutes. And they told us at the last minute, what the assignment was,
you had to go to the mall and get the last four numbers of someone's social security number.
I was able to get it in 27 minutes. And it was because I went in and I purchased something and
it was $15 and something like, oh, man, that's weird. That's a third time in a week that my last
four of my social was the total amount that I paid somewhere. I've never seen that 1572. Wow,
mine is minus 1764. I've never had that happen to me before. 27 minutes, it was done with my op.
I got the call in and said I got the last four of the social. Some people, people just don't
know that. And if they're born here, all you have to do is hey, you're born in Texas. Oh, yeah,
born and raised in Texas. Now you can get the first three numbers of the social security number.
Right. Well, you probably have four or five different options. But now you got the last four
and the first three. Now you just need the middle two and then you just find out some of the social.
I think that's really frankly, have you come back and speak about the moral compass missing in America
for so many of those. Where they come from. And moral compass was sure that we're doing to you
as you would do to me in session session. And now they say, yeah, that's why we're on the black
market. And you know, so it's really different than what it used to be. Hold on just a second,
Frank. Stephanie, how you doing? I don't see any coffee. You're doing good.
I have my tea. I'm doing good. Oh, that's good. All right. I'm going to ask you, would you help
us and say a word about this show that somebody thinks, we're excited.
Sure. We always love that you guys come and hang out with us regularly and you can catch up on
recordings on all the fun places. But our main place to connect is our website, which is bbsradio.com
forward slash raising expectations. You'll see right up there at the top, you can donate. We always
appreciate that. And there's a fancy way to do it. There's old snail mail way to do it if you want.
You can call after Joe. And then if you can continue down, you'll see the prior shows and you can
even search there for certain guests. We have really, really great folks that have been on.
They're fun to listen to. And then you can see each of us co-hosts. There's ways to connect with us.
Learn a little bit about each one of us. And then when you get to the bottom of that, there is
Pastor Joe and my husband's book. You can connect here and get their books. That's also another
great way to support everyone. Just a reminder, share the show that goes a long way. We really
appreciate that. It's amazing what can happen with just different people sharing what matters to them.
Amen. That's great stuff. There's something that happens. You get a
a word. Drop us a word. Send us a text and let us know. So we'll know how to pray for it that way.
And I'm thinking this book should be titled Frank Knows.
We should get a pamphlet on that. A lot of people on the last page, either reread or walk out at
your own risk, you know, wherever people are. I don't think people have a clue. And you know,
Paul, I don't know. We're getting older, man. I don't know. Younger but older. Just younger,
longer. That's what it's been. Yeah, that's what it is. Frank's been past reading this. It's such a joy
to have you on the program again, you know, and you know, and hear what you have to say and the
updates and everything. I heard that it's a simple sometimes if somebody asks if they call you on the
phone and they say, is this, you know, Paul Hall? And if I say yes, wrong, you know, I got to find
a note with yes, you know, or, you know, ask you who's calling, you know, things like that.
And by the way, I have two electric bicycles being delivered sometime in the next couple of days. I
didn't order. But I got the notice on my my text messages. I'm feeling really good about it.
And if you if you hear my voice from Maui, it's me. Send it. So that'll work out really fine.
But it's just a joy. I it must be it must be absolutely daunting, Frank, for you to keep up on
yes, changes that take place so rapidly. And you know, and I just you know, we pray for you and
hold you and I regard and and just just to let you know, you know, you've got a family here and
we enjoy what you do and pray for your protection because I think the work you do put you in a bad
situation, you know, and put you in in some really delicate, delicate situations, delicate places. So
we pray for protection for you and Chrissy and and everyone that you're working for.
Well, I appreciate that very much. That means the world, but I got my protection right here.
Yeah, I just got we just got a word. We got 15 more minutes. Let's keep rolling.
Yeah, well, as Dak first got our quarterback, I don't have a direct threat.
Yeah, what else would you say? Yeah, right?
Well, there's is not getting any say if somebody asked me yesterday on an investor call,
what is the one thing that can get black rhino or cause black rhino to not grow? And I said, well,
the one thing is the world becoming a safer place. Everybody holding hands because if you're holding
hands, you can't shoot a gun. The only way that that the world is going to get any safer and
we're good. They're figuring out new things. I mean, the drone situation, we're lucky to do
some of the things that they do overseas. I mean, some of that stuff would freak people out here
and wouldn't leave their house. But the things that they're I mean, I was on watching before one
of my interviews on Fox News with the on the Charlie Kirk assassination. I watched some other guys on
CNN and some other channels and stuff like that that are supposedly experts. And one of the guys
says, well, I guess it's come time we're going to have to we're going to have to open up a new
new division of our company and add sniper teams to our security. What law enforcement agency,
what college, what jurisdiction is going to allow a private security company to put a sniper on your
roof? Most of them don't want security there in the first place because they're not professional.
They fall asleep on the job and do all these other things. Now you're going to put an
allied universal guard up there with a sniper rifle that is never going to happen. Not a chance.
The Charlie Kirk situation could have been avoided if you put two of the guys that had egos that had
to be around Charlie Kirk up on the up on the thing where there's a walkway up there that goes
from one building to another. With radios cost the client the same amount of money. You just
reallocate your assets where they're looking at rooftops. They have a radio. Hey, you probably
should get Charlie in the tunnel. Let the law enforcement officer that's down there know that
there's somebody up on the roof. Yeah. I mean, yeah, oh, extra money, no Germanics, no guy. I mean,
we have a we have a we do jewelry escorts and we have a company we work with that's off duty
officer company. So we provide guys to do the escorts. One of the guys that does all of our escorts,
one of the reps saw him one day and said, wow, you should have been with me yesterday.
The guys showed up with full tactical gear and shotguns to escort us yesterday. I thought this
was supposed to be a covert thing that made me more nervous than anything. Because that was not
our company. We do not do it that way. This is the way it is. It's supposed to be not attracting
attention. And then two weeks later, somebody shows up with an AR pistol thinking he could carry an
AR pistol on on on a post for a jewelry escort. And all they're doing is attracting attention to it
because of the ego. They want to be they want to do their thing. I mean, the murder trial just
started of the the kid that was stabbed at a track meet. And but when he was first arrested in
the rain and he had the higher security detail, and they video themselves escorting him out to go
on their YouTube channel and their Facebook page. And they could even do the protection detail
correctly. Yeah, I mean, I sat there watching, oh, that's wrong. That's wrong. He's in danger. Oh, my God,
you really you did. How why do you have five guys in the car waiting for them to get into the car?
I mean, I don't understand. And they're all getting their faces on the on the video. I'm not
the whole thing. It sounds really melodramatic. But the whole thing is being in the shadows.
Yeah. You know, in Skyfall, M said it best. We operate in the shadows. You're not out in front.
You're not known to people when I protected the wine lady. And we walked London three times a year.
She's worth $10 billion. I'm in a polo shirt and jeans. She's nobody can tell that she's
worth $10 billion. Of course, she's carrying what we call the football bright red purse that had a
bunch of stuff in it worth a lot of money. But nobody knew us protecting her. We had non verb
roles. We had this and there was no touching the earpiece and sunglasses, the whole, the whole
thing. And it wasn't an I mean, that's not what protection all you're gonna do is attract attention
to your client. And it looks so cool. It looks so cool. It does look cool. And I had to work
those to you thinking for nine half years, the guy had a director. I'm gonna show these guys that
have not afraid. Okay. But that's marks. That's great. So we had to wear suits and earpieces,
the whole thing. And we had the rice with the two SUVs and the motorcade and the whole thing.
And it's harder to do your job that way because this element of surprise, I mean,
the family of the work Dallas led us to the way we're supposed to where we're going to dinner.
They want me to go. I have to be with them all the time, but they want more security. Okay, fine.
I have a male female agent team sitting in the restaurant. They just ordered their appetizers.
They're gonna be in there having dinner watching us while we're in there. You don't know they're
there. You know, they're on the payroll, but you don't know that they're there. And then the
next place we go, they're gonna be there. The daughter's out with her new boyfriend. Well,
Mike's over at the main event. He's having a pizza at the bar keeping around her playing games.
He's playing Mario Brothers next to where they're playing these other games in bowling.
He's got eyes out on the whole time and nobody knows she has security. Nobody knows security
was at the restaurant. Nobody knows anything about it. But those guys, if anything happened,
we're gonna get taken out of the restaurant. They're gonna get taken out of main event,
put in the vehicles and take into a safe place. But nobody knows. That's how it's supposed to be.
Yes.
We went out with a cabinet member a few weeks ago to lunch at the gang club,
which was a great location. But maybe a little nervous, the great location.
But that was one of the criticisms. I said, and I walked in, I said, I noticed one of the tables
over there. I think that's one of your people. Yes. But the problem is he had a female, one of
them were female. And just a little too masculine at the time. But the others were fine because,
they look like regular customers in the restaurant. I don't know. The thing
fascinates me at the same time, the kind of thing that scare me. But here's a question though.
So how do you get churches to start thinking more in line with the need for security?
I walk into them and I see them because I work with churches all the time. It's like a shooting
gallery with a big sign saying, come. And I can't tell you how many churches I've walked up to
and they say, no guns allowed. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's true. The one in West Fort Worth,
the guy, most of the members of the church carry guns, of course,
it's different to Dallas. Less cowboy hats in Dallas. But
they either want security, they don't want security. And we got rid of it. We had a gentleman on our
one of our agents that he thought it was really cool to do all this. And he's on a church team.
He sent me a video of all the church guys. And here's the problem with church security,
if you don't find the right people is he sent this picture and the church Bible is right there.
It's right. Obviously somewhere near the worshiping area. And they're all in tactical gear,
little mini cams, they got their faces painted, they got all this and they're carrying AR 15s
and full tactical gear. And he sends it out proudly sends it out to everybody saying, hey,
there was another training day. And I'm like, I said, dude, do you carry a AR 15s at church?
Because I'm pretty sure Texas law doesn't allow us to carry a AR 15 general public can carry
them without a license, but we can't carry them with a, you know, on duty. And are you training
like that? Because if that's a protection detail, that's not how you train. Because I've been around
guys like the guys from the California Highway Patrol Protection Division, I worked with for
nine and a half years, they do it in golf shirts and and and five 11 pants or jeans. That's how
they train because that's how they're going to be less what they're going to be wearing on
on the detail. Then the same guy sent me sent a picture out on his Facebook page. And this is
how smart he is. Kevin alerted me to it because Kevin was a special operator. Kevin and I met out
in the Bay Area when I was protecting the Congressman out there. And he was on the quick
response team when when President Bush flew in and my Congressman flew in all the time.
So I was always there with Secret Service and all that kind of stuff. And I got to meet him that way.
So he sent me this picture and he goes, is he trying to be a special operator? So he sent
out a picture that has his face blurred out and full tack gear standing there like you see
Navy SEALs and pictures, you know, right? But he was the thing he posted on his public Facebook
page that has his name on it, right? You zoom in and his name is across his chest also.
And he's carrying an AR 15 again. What's protection detail right? And that's it looks ridiculous
because they're on his public Facebook page. Is this picture looks like he's a special operator
and he's not supposed to be known on his public faith and you scroll down there's a picture of
him and his wife. They're they are celebrating their birthday. So there they are. Look at where
all these different places they go. I mean, if you want to take out a special operator,
go to his website because it looks like one he's pretending to be one. And there's all the
information you need to find him. To me, we've had a lot of friends that are undercover.
Because we know who they are, you'll notice every once in a while they very subtly say hello to
someone, but keep going like they would never ever draw attention to themselves.
Oh, you don't do that. It's pretty walk open. Yeah. Yeah, you just don't do that. I mean,
I went 25 years and I've only got one picture that was taken of me on on a on a protect with a
protectee. And it's because it was a campaign thing with a lieutenant governor. And because
he's the only picture I have it here on the wall, but this is the Kevin Costner version real life.
But this is on the front of the state's largest newspaper. That's the only reason I have the
picture. Otherwise, nobody knows who I'm protecting or where I'm protecting.
All right, that stuff. But and I'm proud of that. There's other guys that will have their whole
website or Facebook page with constant pictures themselves. And then they wear uniforms that have
four stars on him and and all this stuff and call themselves chiefs and look at me. Look at me.
Look at me. My goodness. I mean, you wouldn't know that. Well, the one somebody. Well, that's
that's that's that. Do have security team. That seems to be in a lot of cases, the same case.
It's like they stand out like sore thumbs. You know, you can walk and go, that's one guy there.
He's sitting there in the front and it's aisle. I'm going, why are you being so because if I'm
if I'm a shooter, come in and I know you were there, I'm going to position myself where I don't
have to worry about you. So you defeated the purpose of being there. Yeah. Or I was in a
situation in Chicago, was in a friend was there for conference. And I was on a corner behind this
street that had the back doors to bars and restaurants. And the session, it pulls out secret service
guys with their buds and black suits. And I'm like, I don't know, I wonder who's this guy coming
out of the bar? I started to go get my phone and record it. And I go, no, probably not smart.
No, I'm going to reach for anything. How are you guys today?
Well, another reason why I love the shows, because this is this is where I can wear my cowboy stuff
because out in public, it attracts attention, unlike attention, and it can get my protect to you.
And you want to blend it, right? You want to be so we use this app for driving. And I have,
it's an investigator guy that talks to us all the time, he's British for our direction. And he's
like, what here in one piece, you survived, you are not noticed. And that's what it always does,
right? You don't want to be seen. Frank, you're a you're a great cartoonist. We all marveled the way
you can draw different cartoon things usually. There's an artist that used to put a book out,
John, remember Paul, remember that one? And he had animals, but the animals would be saying
funny things that offer situations. And speaking about you guys are sharing, there are two
deers in the middle of the road looking at each other. There's nobody and they're great big deer
and looking at each other. And one on his chest has this great big target. Just like you could
arrows that and the other one looks at him and he's looking at him and the other one's saying it,
man, you're right, bummer of a birthmark.
Stream. Yeah, they're making their own birthmarks.
Oh, wow, that's funny. That's why it really pains me to see somebody carrying open. I know you're
allowed to do it. But when you go into a quick trip to go get a drink and some guys carrying in there,
yes, and quick trips have armed security in their in the evenings for a reason. And it's not safe
to go walking into a quick trip exposed or carried because he'd become the first target. Yeah, who
are they going to shoot first if they're going to come in here and rob the store? They're going to
take that guy with a gun. Yeah, that's why everybody they joke about something happens in in Fort
Worth in a restaurant. Everybody's going to stand up with their guns, but no, you don't nobody,
anybody's got a gun. But man, those guys that carry that, oh, yes, I don't know if it's just ego,
they want to carry whatever. It's ego. I think it's ego making a statement to me. I just, I was
standing behind. I had the exact, oh, for those who naughty, not in with in Texas,
here we carry guns. Okay, I mean, it's it's a weird deal, you know, but I'm standing and just
that it was truck stop, one of the big trucks stop. And there's got to be 50 people in there.
And here's a guy. Highway carry here, no latch over his overspisto. And I'm standing there a
foot away. I'm going, what stopped me from pulling it out? All this thing, right? And then what stopped
so much. And I'm like you, if I come in and it's, it was very obvious, big belt, everything. He's the
first guy I'm going to shoot. I saw a guy going to quick trip with a thigh rig on why are you
well carrying a thigh rig with your jeans on? But I was on one of these calls podcasting in a
lady in California, we're having the same conversation about me guys open the carrying she goes,
oh, I thought everybody in Texas was carrying it openly like that. I thought you guys were just
carrying rifles and start with you from California, of course. But I thought everybody carried openly
in Texas. It's like the Wild West there said, no, we don't need to be exposed openly in Texas.
You're allowed to do it doesn't mean you do it. Yeah.
I'll see you in in Kennesaw, Georgia, as a requirement when you buy a house, you buy a farm.
Because you're not a crime rate as a stroke crime rate. Wow.
I had a question about the Social Security stuff. My late, my late husband's sister wrote me last
week and they're trying to do something with my father-in-law's house that they have now that
they're living in. And they wanted my late husband's name, Data Bird, Social Security Number. And
it's in that unless they told him that the particulars over there in Mexico that he had become a
resident from here. And I wrote back to her and I said, I cannot release his Social Security number.
Even though it's it's it's been erased or they're no longer going to use that combination
to recognize him as the Social Security. I said, those are American assigned government assigned
numbers. And we I can't it's anybody in that office in Mexico City could grab it and use it.
Whether or not, you know, they know what they're doing, but I can't take that risk.
One thing you can do. Frank, what's what's the what's the market like in the block
black market for Social Security and and birthdays? Oh, man, that's that's a gloomy market. But I'll
tell you when somebody calls and says, uh, well, we're calling because you've been qualified for
this and this, we need to verify your information as to well, if I'm qualified, then you have my
information. So you read it to me and I'll then we know you're legit. And then they will we need
you to say, well, I'm not saying it. They they are still because if it's a legit thing, like a
doctor's office or whatever, if it's a legit thing, then they'll tell you, you know, your mailing address
is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, even then you still want to keep asking questions.
Yeah, and what it's just about blah, blah, blah, but never volunteer the information right up
front. That's half. That's half of people who get scanned right there. Well, we need to verify
your information so you can get just check refund check for this blah, blah, blah. Oh, really,
this is my address. Oh, no, no, no, no. You called me because I'm qualified for something or that you
have my information that I'm supposed to have it back. You have my information. So you need to
explain it to me that the the scam call that they do on the payday loans that you oh yeah,
about eight years ago, you took out a payday. Really? Okay, give me my information about it.
And then I'll verify that. No, no, that's not how it works. We got a vert now. That's not
no, no, no, no, because you're calling me. Yeah, a legal office. And when my father in law passed
away, they noticed that when he listed his family, he each of his 10 children were named an Aztec name
and a biblical name. He wrote all the names of the names we called them in the family. And it was
like for my husband was Tony, when the other was social and her name is Rosalia. So everyone
went by a different name, even though it was a form of their name. So in essence, his information
didn't list any children. So having to go back and verify everybody's first and second name and
last name, whether they're married, whether they're deceased and have them were deceased. So, you know,
it doesn't, I told him, I said, I can't really set information. Yeah, there's too much going,
too much junk going around. And they don't need to know that they just need to know that he lived
and he died. And that's all they need to know. And then you can do the politely say, you know what,
why somebody just came over or something's going on, the dogs just got out. Give me a number,
let me call you back. Because those phone numbers are typically not real phone numbers.
So, I'm going to need to call you back. Give me a phone and I'll call you back. And I'll hang up.
Yeah, they're gone. Yeah. She's just told him, I know Frank, and he's up and down. That's what
she said. Frank said, he can help you with it. I have a lawyer in San Antonio that could help
them too. So we're going to have to look at closing that off now. Frank, we just love having you with
us. It's so much fun. And Chrissy, your wife, she's a special gal to tell her, hi for us. And
Stephanie, thanks for sharing with us with everybody tonight about everything. It's good to see you.
Thanks. Good to see you. And I tell you, what a great group of people. I'm going to ask before
we close out Ron, of course, there's only one Ron Greer. We're so glad you're here, man.
That's it. That's it. We got it. We love him. Hey, man. Just before we go off, Paul, would you just,
we're going to know much time. 30 or 45 second, pray for Frank. Would you, brother?
Praise God. Sure. Father, thank you for who you are, for the gift of life that you've been to us.
We thank you, Father, for Frank, for Chrissy, for the Black Rhino, everyone that he's connected to.
We do pray your protection over them. And Lord, above all, fill our hearts with the knowledge of
how much we're loved. And may we have such a sense of wanting to share that with those around us.
And Father, we pray for wisdom. Give us wisdom that we could make good decisions and do the right
things. And in order to do that, Father, we need to stay in step with you. So may that be our desire.
And we just thank you for the time we've had together. We thank you for your love, your grace,
your forgiveness, and thank you for the gift of our salvation in Christ Jesus, and whose name
we pray. Amen. Amen. And listen, you all have a great week. Frank's great to see you and we will
