Chickens in the Basement

[00:00:01] Hey, where are you going? I gotta get home. America, it's time to come home. It's time to come home! By bringing common sense back into the nonsense. Welcome to Common Sense Coalition Talk Radio, where America comes home.

[00:00:21] Down this dirt road, you're going to find determination and grit, opinions that matter, and a big ol' helping of good discernment.

[00:00:28] And now, the woman that wishes the DC occupiers would stop making her use her mom voice.

[00:00:34] Do not make me come down there.

[00:00:35] Here's your host, and the voice of Common Sense, Beth Ann.

[00:00:42] And I welcome you today to CSC Talk Radio. It is my honor, my pleasure to be here with you today, and I'm all excited.

[00:00:48] You know, I get all excited when I actually have a face to look at. Not that I don't look at Rudy's face.

[00:00:53] I look at Rudy's face when I'm actually talking to someone on the air.

[00:00:58] And we do have a guest. I promised you a little surprise yesterday, and that's what the surprise is.

[00:01:04] I think I kind of hinted at it pretty strong yesterday.

[00:01:08] Before we get started, let's go to the Lord in prayer.

[00:01:10] For such a time as this, oh, most gracious Heavenly Father, we thank you.

[00:01:16] We thank you for your love and your grace and your mercy.

[00:01:20] Father, we thank you for providing a way, for loving us so much, for sending your son.

[00:01:29] Father, I know we take so many things for granted here.

[00:01:34] Life is so precious, and it can disappear so fast.

[00:01:39] Father, I pray for my son, who's having surgery at this very moment, that you will guide the doctors.

[00:01:47] Make this a one and done, that he will be on the road to recovery and not have to worry about this problem again.

[00:01:59] I know he was fearful.

[00:02:00] I pray that you gave him calm and his wife and the children.

[00:02:08] And Father, I just thank you for Nathan, who is here with me today, and Rudy.

[00:02:15] I ask your blessing upon today's show.

[00:02:19] And as you have commanded me, the reason I start every show with a prayer,

[00:02:25] I pray for your continued watch care over President Donald J. Trump to keep him safe and his family safe and those around him, Father, who are all being threatened.

[00:02:41] Do not let the enemy have another victory, I pray.

[00:02:47] Father, we live in a broken world.

[00:02:50] There's a lot of sickness, and there's a lot of mental illness, and there's a lot of violence.

[00:02:56] There's a lot of confused people because they do not know you as their Savior.

[00:03:01] May all who are listening, may we all be your disciples to go forth and to share the good news that we have salvation.

[00:03:16] That God came down as we go into this Christmas season, Father.

[00:03:21] May we never forget the sacrifice that you made for our salvation.

[00:03:29] For such a time as this, I pray in Jesus' name.

[00:03:34] Amen.

[00:03:36] So we titled the show today, Chickens in the Basement.

[00:03:38] We'll explain that here in just a little bit.

[00:03:41] You know, it's a small, small world.

[00:03:44] And unfortunately, it's a very confused world.

[00:03:46] December 4th, as he was walking down the street, a man named Brian Thompson was shot in the back to death.

[00:03:56] In the back.

[00:03:58] I've watched enough cowboy shows.

[00:04:00] I know that's not acceptable.

[00:04:02] That's the cowardice way.

[00:04:04] And the murdering coward has been caught, and yesterday he was indicted.

[00:04:09] But there seems to be a confusion as to who the real bad guy is here.

[00:04:15] It's the shooter.

[00:04:17] Do not be confused.

[00:04:19] It's the shooter, not the gun.

[00:04:24] The bad guy is the shooter.

[00:04:27] Luigi Mangione.

[00:04:29] And for whatever reason, he chose to take a life.

[00:04:32] In fact, at one point, he had written in a manifesto or a journal that he considered using a bomb, which would have taken even more innocent lives.

[00:04:46] Other than self-defense, there is never a reason to murder another human being and not to mention shoot them in the back.

[00:04:54] The victim, Brian Thompson, was a CEO for UnitedHealthcare and was there in the city on business.

[00:05:01] Something is very wrong in our nation.

[00:05:03] When we have youth who deem murder okay, 41% of the U.P.

[00:05:08] There was like 1,000 registered voters that were polled.

[00:05:14] 41% thought it was okay.

[00:05:18] I figure these are probably the same group of people who are against capital punishment.

[00:05:22] You know, the death penalty?

[00:05:27] Luigi Mangione was just 26 years old.

[00:05:31] Is just 26 years old.

[00:05:33] From a very wealthy family.

[00:05:35] Apparently very smart.

[00:05:38] Had not worked since 2023.

[00:05:42] Brian, the murdered man, was from a small town in Iowa.

[00:05:48] Worked very hard all his life.

[00:05:50] Grew up fairly humble and a kind person.

[00:05:53] Listen, if as many like AOC and Liz Warren claim the healthcare system is to blame for this tragedy,

[00:06:02] they have no one to blame but themselves.

[00:06:04] Because you see, they're the ones who made the decision to promote Obamacare.

[00:06:13] But this is not what we're here to discuss today.

[00:06:17] Dehumanizing people is the way of the left and our youth in this nation lately.

[00:06:24] Apparently, maybe they played too long with the violent video games and they just don't understand what death really is.

[00:06:31] They are okay with the murdering of unborn babies and apparently murdering a successful businessman.

[00:06:41] I'm here to tell you they are terribly, terribly misguided.

[00:06:45] And are inequivocally wrong.

[00:06:50] Never, never is taking a life okay.

[00:06:55] I did notice that the school shooting, which is horrific that happened earlier this week,

[00:07:00] brought about the topic of gun control.

[00:07:04] But the CEO shooting brought about the topic of healthcare.

[00:07:09] Healthcare providers making too much money.

[00:07:14] But we all know Lizzie and AOC want government totally in control.

[00:07:19] That's a nightmare of socialized medicine.

[00:07:23] This week, an old friend dropped by in the office.

[00:07:26] He's wanting me to help him.

[00:07:28] He wrote a book and he's wanting me to figure out how to produce it,

[00:07:30] how to publish it for him like I did my first book.

[00:07:33] And I'm still trying to get my second book.

[00:07:35] Hang on.

[00:07:36] I will get her done.

[00:07:39] But proof that it's such a small town.

[00:07:42] He says, you know who you should have on your show?

[00:07:45] Nathan.

[00:07:47] And he starts talking about Nathan.

[00:07:48] I go, okay.

[00:07:49] Nathan who?

[00:07:51] Nathan Dalby.

[00:07:52] I said, I don't know Nathan Dalby.

[00:07:55] He said, my son-in-law.

[00:07:56] You know Becky?

[00:07:57] I go, yes, I know Becky.

[00:08:00] So Nathan just so happens, also from Jewel, Iowa, which is where Brian was from,

[00:08:09] is now in California, Missouri, another small town.

[00:08:13] So I invited him here today.

[00:08:17] And we're going to talk about his friend, Brian Thompson.

[00:08:21] A man, a young boy at one time, a man, a husband, and a father.

[00:08:27] And he was a childhood friend.

[00:08:28] So with that, we welcome Nathan to the show.

[00:08:32] Nathan, we're going to head into the break here real quick.

[00:08:34] But I'm glad you're here.

[00:08:36] It's good to meet you.

[00:08:36] It is a privilege.

[00:08:39] It's an honor.

[00:08:40] Just thank you for having me on.

[00:08:42] And just kind of an opportunity to put some humanizing value to Brian.

[00:08:50] To remember a friend.

[00:08:51] Exactly.

[00:08:52] And a lot of memories.

[00:08:55] And Brian was a good man.

[00:08:56] So I'm excited about getting to talk to him.

[00:08:57] Well, we are going to talk about that.

[00:08:59] And we're going to head into a break here just shortly.

[00:09:02] I hear the music now.

[00:09:03] But we're going to humanize the man, Brian.

[00:09:08] And we're not going to talk about Luigi too much.

[00:09:12] He's sick.

[00:09:13] Any man who wants to do that is not well.

[00:09:16] He's mentally, he's got a mental problem.

[00:09:18] Maybe it's the medicines they gave him.

[00:09:20] I don't know for his bad back.

[00:09:21] He hasn't worked since 1923.

[00:09:24] I mean, 2023.

[00:09:27] And that's really only one year.

[00:09:29] But it's almost two years now.

[00:09:31] But apparently he's had way too much time to think and stew and get angry.

[00:09:38] But Brian Thompson grew up in a small town.

[00:09:42] And we are rural America.

[00:09:43] And we love small town.

[00:09:45] And we're going to talk about that.

[00:09:46] You're listening to CSC Talk Radio.

[00:09:48] This is Beth Ann with Nathan.

[00:09:49] And we'll be right back.

[00:10:01] The American Crisis Continues.

[00:10:03] The reviews are in.

[00:10:04] This is a book worth reading.

[00:10:06] A book that lays out both the fundamental issues and offers a solution.

[00:10:11] The American Crisis Continues informed me about the battle between good and evil.

[00:10:15] It inspired me to get involved in the author's quest to bring America home to God, family, and country.

[00:10:22] At a time in history when America is being attacked from within by those who have a secular socialist view of America.

[00:10:29] This book quenched my thirst for a perspective of the America I know and love.

[00:10:34] Learn about America's founding principles.

[00:10:37] How do the grievances in 1776 compare to us today?

[00:10:41] Knowledge is the key defense against the vicious enemy, tyranny.

[00:10:45] The American Crisis continues.

[00:10:48] The American Crisis continues.

[00:11:02] Scripture warns us that there will be a day of judgment for our lives.

[00:11:06] Our works will be exposed by fire, which will reveal the foundation of our building.

[00:11:10] Figuratively speaking, have we been building with wood, hay, and stubble, which are perishable?

[00:11:15] Or have we been using gold, silver, and precious stones, which are permanent?

[00:11:18] In this life, there will be a day of judgment for our failing economic system.

[00:11:22] When the economy collapses, will your assets be in paper, which will burn?

[00:11:27] Or will you have a permanent foundation of gold and silver securing your assets?

[00:11:31] Fiat dollars are IOUs from the government.

[00:11:34] But gold and silver are the tangible assets that protect your wealth.

[00:11:38] Owning gold and silver is the permanent solution to a permanent problem in our economy.

[00:11:42] Fiat dollars and debt.

[00:11:53] Give your wealth a solid foundation with gold and silver.

[00:12:02] Did you hear that?

[00:12:04] That's the sound of energy, and America has plenty.

[00:12:07] Power the Future is dedicated to those who power the future for all Americans.

[00:12:11] It is their hard work, sweat, and determination that keeps the lights on in all American homes.

[00:12:16] Their livelihoods are under attack by radical environmental groups.

[00:12:20] Power the Future is advocating for their jobs and American energy.

[00:12:24] Daniel Turner is the founder and executive director of Power the Future.

[00:12:27] Daniel is an expert in energy and environmental issues as they pertain to jobs, rural communities, the U.S. economy, international affairs, and our national security.

[00:12:36] If the radical environmentalists have their way, our natural resources will be less available and less affordable.

[00:12:50] Visit PowerTheFuture.com and let's work together to keep the lights on and bring America home.

[00:12:56] And we have returned.

[00:13:06] You're listening to CSE Talk Radio.

[00:13:08] This is Beth Ann.

[00:13:10] So Nathan grew up with Brian in Jewell, Iowa.

[00:13:14] And Brian, apparently, just like any other kid, you know, he went to school like everyone else.

[00:13:21] He wasn't some rich CEO man that deserved to be murdered.

[00:13:25] There is nobody that deserves that.

[00:13:27] You must understand that.

[00:13:32] But I think it's always amazing to me how small this world is.

[00:13:36] So when Ed came in, he didn't even have that on his mind.

[00:13:39] I don't know how that even popped into his head.

[00:13:41] I think God has a hand on things.

[00:13:44] But Nathan went to school with Brian.

[00:13:46] They grew up together, I'm assuming, with a small town.

[00:13:49] It was elementary school, junior high or middle school, whatever they call it, and then high school.

[00:13:55] So talk about your memories.

[00:13:57] And we'll get to the chickens in the basement.

[00:14:00] Talk about your memories of Brian.

[00:14:02] Yeah.

[00:14:02] So you're exactly right.

[00:14:04] K through 12.

[00:14:05] So, yeah, we – K through 12.

[00:14:08] So, you know, I grew up with this man.

[00:14:11] And just to kind of clarify, when you think a small town – this is a small, small town.

[00:14:17] So Jewell was where the school was located.

[00:14:20] South Hamilton High School was –

[00:14:21] What's about the population of Jewell?

[00:14:23] Do you know?

[00:14:23] Jewell's probably about 1,100.

[00:14:25] Okay.

[00:14:25] A lot smaller than California.

[00:14:27] California looks like a big city there at 4,400, doesn't it?

[00:14:30] Yeah.

[00:14:30] When I moved down here is a culture shock.

[00:14:33] So that was – we were a consolidated school.

[00:14:36] So actually, I'm from Ellsworth, Iowa.

[00:14:39] School was in Jewell.

[00:14:41] Brian was from actually Stanhope, Iowa.

[00:14:44] Again, even with those four towns – there's another little town, Randall, Iowa, that was there.

[00:14:50] And our graduating class, 1993, was 54 students.

[00:14:54] And that was four towns combined.

[00:14:55] Very rural.

[00:14:57] Your graduating class had 54 students?

[00:15:00] 54 students.

[00:15:00] Mine had 15.

[00:15:01] I'm from Jamestown, Missouri.

[00:15:04] So you understand small town.

[00:15:05] I understand small town.

[00:15:06] I came here from Raytown, Missouri when I was in the middle of my freshman year.

[00:15:10] Now, that was a culture shock.

[00:15:11] Big city.

[00:15:12] Yeah.

[00:15:12] Go ahead.

[00:15:13] So, yeah.

[00:15:16] We grew up with each other.

[00:15:18] And with that being such a small, small town in a small class like that, it wasn't just an acquaintance.

[00:15:25] It was somebody that you grow up with.

[00:15:28] You saw every day.

[00:15:29] You see every day.

[00:15:31] And, you know, just a lot of memories.

[00:15:34] And you were in every class together.

[00:15:36] We were up until high school.

[00:15:38] Okay.

[00:15:38] And Brian was much more highly intelligent than I was.

[00:15:43] And so, you know, while he's in his upper level math classes and this and that, I'm still struggling with the basics.

[00:15:53] Fundamental, functional math.

[00:15:56] I still struggle with that myself.

[00:15:58] But, yeah.

[00:15:59] Just to put it in context, Brian was – he was highly – I say he is highly intelligent.

[00:16:05] I try to stop myself and keep referring in the present tense.

[00:16:09] Highly, highly, highly intelligent.

[00:16:12] Just – I can't –

[00:16:14] Kind of like a J.D. Vance?

[00:16:15] Oh, gosh.

[00:16:16] Yes.

[00:16:17] Yes?

[00:16:17] In that realm?

[00:16:18] Okay.

[00:16:18] Yeah.

[00:16:18] You know, when it came to my attention that Brian had reached the heights that he has as CEO, that did not come to a shock to me in any way, shape, or form.

[00:16:27] So, yeah.

[00:16:29] That's pretty cool.

[00:16:30] So, any of you who are listening, and most of my listeners are rural America, you know what it's like when you grow up in a small town and you go to school.

[00:16:38] Elementary class, you're pretty much the same kids.

[00:16:41] Now, with 54 in your class, you might have had to divide a class.

[00:16:44] There might have been two second grade classes or something like that.

[00:16:48] But as a rule, you're all in the same class.

[00:16:50] You go all the way up.

[00:16:51] Like my husband, I think there was 25 in his class.

[00:16:55] He was one of the bigger ones from Jamestown.

[00:16:57] And they actually went from first grade on up all together and graduated together.

[00:17:02] And that's kind of the way it is in a small town.

[00:17:05] Jewel, Iowa at 1100 is not a very big town.

[00:17:08] So, you had some little bitty outspirks of towns around there.

[00:17:11] And you were both from separate ends but still the same school.

[00:17:16] Yeah.

[00:17:16] That's pretty cool.

[00:17:17] All right.

[00:17:18] Let's – did he play sports?

[00:17:21] Was he into – were you into the sports?

[00:17:24] Yeah.

[00:17:25] Yeah.

[00:17:25] So, like I said, Brian was just – was everything.

[00:17:29] He was intelligent.

[00:17:31] He was good looking and definitely an athlete.

[00:17:35] Funny story about that is in – yeah, I played sports.

[00:17:38] I wasn't very good at it.

[00:17:40] I'm a short little guy, so basketball wasn't my game.

[00:17:44] But Brian was a really good basketball.

[00:17:45] His guard.

[00:17:45] Your guard.

[00:17:46] Yeah.

[00:17:46] You can dribble underneath and take it away from him.

[00:17:49] Yeah.

[00:17:49] Go through their legs.

[00:17:50] Yeah.

[00:17:50] But I remember eighth grade basketball.

[00:17:52] And like I said, Brian was a really good athlete.

[00:17:55] And, of course, he was a starter and just a star on the team.

[00:17:58] And we were in practice one day.

[00:18:00] And I remember him – I remember asking him.

[00:18:02] I was like, hey, can you take it easy on me?

[00:18:04] Can you take it easy on me and help me look good?

[00:18:06] And, of course, Brian was like, I'm not going to do that.

[00:18:09] He wanted me to kind of rise up and meet his level versus stooping down to my level.

[00:18:15] So I was just flying.

[00:18:18] And he had a way about him that was good humor and good natured.

[00:18:25] But you're still on the same team.

[00:18:28] Yeah, we were still on the same team.

[00:18:29] It was practice.

[00:18:30] We were scrimmage there one day.

[00:18:31] And I said, take it easy on me.

[00:18:32] He's like, I'm not going to do that.

[00:18:33] But I tried.

[00:18:36] So how tall was Brian?

[00:18:38] Oh, you know –

[00:18:40] 5'10", 5'11", like that.

[00:18:42] Yeah.

[00:18:43] So, yeah.

[00:18:45] And basketball in a small town is a big deal.

[00:18:48] Oh.

[00:18:48] Probably didn't have a football team, did you?

[00:18:50] You did have a football team?

[00:18:51] We did have a football team.

[00:18:52] Okay.

[00:18:53] Yeah.

[00:18:54] But, yeah, it was one of those, you know, you play both sides of the ball.

[00:18:58] So on a football team.

[00:19:00] But, yeah.

[00:19:01] Well, I know in Jamestown that we didn't have football.

[00:19:06] There wasn't enough kids to do football.

[00:19:08] But they had basketball and it was huge.

[00:19:11] And baseball and softball.

[00:19:14] That was huge.

[00:19:14] Softball in the summer.

[00:19:16] No?

[00:19:17] Yeah.

[00:19:17] They did softball.

[00:19:19] And I think during the school year that was softball.

[00:19:23] Because Terry Carlson was the – I remember him being the pitcher.

[00:19:25] But they did it during the summer and during school, you know.

[00:19:29] So they had – baseball, I think, was in the summer and softball was during school.

[00:19:33] I could have that wrong.

[00:19:34] But it was always the same athletes.

[00:19:36] It was always the same kids on the team.

[00:19:38] They grew up together and they were close, you know, in that respect.

[00:19:43] And then I asked Nathan.

[00:19:44] I said, were you able to keep in touch with him after graduation?

[00:19:48] And he said no.

[00:19:50] And I said, well, that's pretty much normal.

[00:19:53] Most people aren't able to keep in touch.

[00:19:58] Talk about graduation.

[00:20:00] Yeah.

[00:20:00] So, yeah.

[00:20:02] And you're right.

[00:20:03] That graduation night was the last kind of contact or visit I ever had with Brian.

[00:20:10] So, yeah, May 28, 1993.

[00:20:13] Brian introduced me as a commencement speaker and, you know, just kind of shared with – as he introduced me, kind of shared with the crowd that was there some memories and stuff that we had shared over the years.

[00:20:28] And that was kind of the last contact I had with him.

[00:20:32] Did you say he introduced you?

[00:20:34] Yeah.

[00:20:34] So, Brian was our valedictorian.

[00:20:36] Imagine that.

[00:20:39] So, yeah.

[00:20:40] That was kind of our practice.

[00:20:41] The valedictorian would always address or introduce the commencement speaker.

[00:20:46] I had been selected to speak.

[00:20:48] You were the commencement speaker.

[00:20:49] I was the commencement speaker.

[00:20:51] Yeah.

[00:20:52] So, Brian introduced me and, you know, I mean we had a short conversation at the end of graduation and then, you know, he went off to bigger and better things and I came down here and that's that.

[00:21:03] So, when you were younger, you did have times together where he came to your house or you went to his house and that kind of thing.

[00:21:11] So, that really does give us a better picture of things.

[00:21:16] I think what the news has been doing and I'm going to stall before we go into the chickens in the basement story because we're going to head into a break here shortly.

[00:21:26] But it's really disgusting to me what's going on in the news and Nathan says he's tried to stay away from that because he wants to remember his friend the way he remembers his friend.

[00:21:36] So, we don't want to even think about some of the – he doesn't want to think about some of the other things.

[00:21:42] But I have to look at it and I wrote on my substack and I think I've got that here in front of me.

[00:21:48] I said it's really funny that I can never remember the titles of my articles when I write them.

[00:21:53] But I kind of did the show on this, if you recall, about Obamacare because Lizzie Warren is making a big deal out of it and she almost made it sound like it was okay to do this because this person has taken advantage of people and he's rich, rich, rich.

[00:22:08] I'm pretty sure a CEO doesn't look at insurance returns and do anything like that.

[00:22:16] But I thought, well, maybe you should direct your frustration more to the left because they're the ones that insisted on Obamacare, which is just a step into socialized medicine.

[00:22:26] And I worked in the medical field and your mother-in-law, Bula, can probably tell you about some – she's a registered nurse, surgical nurse.

[00:22:34] And it's ugly.

[00:22:37] It's ugly.

[00:22:39] And it got uglier when Obamacare – well, actually, when we had, I call it Hillarycare because she's the one who started the PPOs and the HMOs and all this because – it's in my article.

[00:22:50] I have to give it to you.

[00:22:51] In my article, I explained that Bill probably needed her to be distracted and out from underneath his feet for a while.

[00:22:59] And so he put her in charge of fixing health care.

[00:23:04] Nothing they have done has made your care for your health any better.

[00:23:08] Nothing they have done has made it more affordable.

[00:23:11] And you cannot blame a CEO of an insurance company because that particular thing was created and made even bigger by government.

[00:23:22] We have them to blame.

[00:23:24] That doesn't mean we should go shoot anybody in the back.

[00:23:27] But I think we need to direct our frustration at them.

[00:23:31] And we need to understand that Brian Thompson was a victim of a man who was very sick, mentally ill.

[00:23:40] And we're thankful he's caught.

[00:23:43] And maybe he can get some help, but definitely he's going to get some time.

[00:25:02] Hello, I'm Mike Lindell, the inventor of MyPillow.

[00:25:05] For the longest time, I've wanted to come out with the world's most comfortable bedsheets.

[00:25:09] But up until now, I haven't been able to find anything that held up to my high standards.

[00:25:15] I finally found the best cotton in the world in a region where the Sahara Desert, the Nile River, and the Mediterranean Sea all come together to create the ideal weather conditions for growing cotton.

[00:25:27] My new Giza Dream bedsheets are made with this long staple cotton, and I guarantee they'll be the most comfortable sheets you'll ever own.

[00:25:36] The first night you sleep on my sheets, you'll never want to sleep on anything else.

[00:25:41] The Giza Dream sheets are available in a variety of colors.

[00:25:44] And like all of Mike's products, they come with a 60-day money-back guarantee and a 10-year warranty.

[00:25:51] Right now, you can get your very own by calling 1-800-978-6168.

[00:26:02] For centuries, those who raise, breed, and work with animals have been revered and lauded for what they do.

[00:26:08] Today, across America, the rights to own and raise animals are under attack by animal rights activists and their increased influence on government and non-government agencies.

[00:26:18] This onslaught regularly violates protection from legal search and seizure and a citizen's right to due process of the law, all of which are outlined specifically in the U.S. Constitution.

[00:26:28] Protect your animals, your animal enterprise, and your property from this abuse of power.

[00:26:33] With a membership to the Cavalry Group, membership provides immediate access to their team to protect law-abiding animal owners and animal enterprise against unwarranted search and seizure and false claims.

[00:26:44] They also work to protect their members' interests legislatively at the local, state, and federal levels.

[00:26:49] Get the shield that protects you, your animals, and your property.

[00:26:52] Join the Cavalry Group today.

[00:27:02] Looking for someone to educate and encourage your group?

[00:27:09] Call 573-796-2166 or email rudys at csetalkradio.com to invite Bethann to speak at your next event.

[00:27:18] Bethann has been behind the microphone for almost 30 years, fighting to bring America home.

[00:27:23] She brings her unique perspective, drawing from her many life experiences and her love for God and country.

[00:27:29] As a young girl, her family moved from the big city to a small rural community, where she would grow up, marry her husband, and together raise five sons.

[00:27:36] Along the way, she worked in factories, retail, sales, and medical clinic, and now lights up the airwaves on CSE Talk Radio.

[00:27:44] As the D.C. occupiers continue to drive our society into socialism and anarchy, the message to bring America home grows more crucial by the day.

[00:27:52] Bethann brings that message with contagious passion wherever she speaks.

[00:27:56] Schedule Bethann to speak to your group today by calling 573-796-2166.

[00:28:07] And we have returned.

[00:28:08] You're listening to CSE Talk Radio.

[00:28:10] This is Bethann.

[00:28:10] Okay.

[00:28:11] Chickens in the basement.

[00:28:13] Now, that's what really captivated me.

[00:28:15] And his father-in-law was telling the story.

[00:28:18] Now, his father-in-law and my husband and I go way, way back, farther than we probably like to admit.

[00:28:26] But Becky was just a little girl when we knew them.

[00:28:29] And we still know them.

[00:28:31] We just don't hang out together like we used to.

[00:28:34] We used to hang out all the time, you know.

[00:28:36] Like I said, life goes on.

[00:28:38] And, you know, we lost a home in a fire.

[00:28:40] So there wasn't any farm to come down and hunt and fish on anymore.

[00:28:45] And so things just got changed.

[00:28:47] And for the good or the worse.

[00:28:50] But I told Albert, I told my husband, I said, we need to have Ed and Bula over.

[00:28:54] They've never even seen the house.

[00:28:55] He helped us when we started building it.

[00:28:58] We're still building that sucker.

[00:28:59] And he actually got my husband into construction.

[00:29:05] Things were kind of bad on the farm.

[00:29:07] The house burned down.

[00:29:09] And got him into construction.

[00:29:12] And he's made a living there.

[00:29:14] And he's retired and wondering why I'm not.

[00:29:17] And I just keep thinking.

[00:29:19] I tell him in the morning when I leave, I've got to go save a nation.

[00:29:21] I've got to go save a nation.

[00:29:23] And making us poorer in the project.

[00:29:25] But anyway, his father-in-law comes in.

[00:29:29] And he's written a book.

[00:29:29] And his father-in-law is very wise.

[00:29:31] And he's written a book on the Holy Spirit.

[00:29:35] And so I told him, well, I just published a book.

[00:29:39] I could do yours.

[00:29:40] Well, by the time I got to my second one, I couldn't remember how I even did it.

[00:29:43] How I even, you have to reformat it and everything for Amazon, for Kindle, Create.

[00:29:49] Because they're the only ones that are free.

[00:29:52] And so I finally got mine in there.

[00:29:54] Just like two weeks ago.

[00:29:56] But I haven't finished it.

[00:29:58] Because you really have to do a lot of reformatting.

[00:30:02] And so you have to reformat it from Word to get it into Kindle.

[00:30:07] And then once you've got it in there, you've got to do more fixing.

[00:30:09] Because they just don't like each other a whole lot.

[00:30:13] But he tells me this story about Nathan.

[00:30:16] And being a friend of Brian.

[00:30:20] And at one time, Brian spent the night at Nathan's house.

[00:30:26] And I'm going to let Nathan take it from there.

[00:30:29] You can tell all about that little story there.

[00:30:31] But go ahead.

[00:30:32] Okay.

[00:30:33] So, yeah.

[00:30:35] It's really kind of funny.

[00:30:37] I look back on it.

[00:30:38] And I think to myself, doesn't everybody have chickens in the basement?

[00:30:43] And Brian was quick to let me know that, no, that is not necessarily the case.

[00:30:49] So, kind of give you a little background of the chickens in the basement and what that was all about.

[00:30:54] So, I was probably, I don't know, 10, 11 years old, something like that.

[00:30:58] And Brian was spending the night.

[00:31:00] It's, you know, what kids do in a small town.

[00:31:04] It was summertime.

[00:31:06] And so, we spent the night.

[00:31:08] It must have been spring.

[00:31:10] It could have been.

[00:31:11] Yeah.

[00:31:11] But I remember it wasn't cold outside.

[00:31:13] But, of course, in Iowa, it seems like it's cold all year.

[00:31:16] But.

[00:31:17] It is in Iowa.

[00:31:18] But we're 10, 11 years old, somewhere in there.

[00:31:22] And we're just watching TV in the living room.

[00:31:27] And I don't remember what was on on Friday nights back in the 80s.

[00:31:30] But all of a sudden, Brian's like, what's that noise?

[00:31:33] What do you mean, what's that noise?

[00:31:35] Well, it was a little chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.

[00:31:37] I said, well, no, those are the chickens.

[00:31:39] He's like, well, where's it coming from?

[00:31:41] I said, well, it's coming from my basement.

[00:31:43] He's like, get out of here.

[00:31:44] There ain't no chickens in your basement.

[00:31:46] I said, yeah, yeah, there's chickens in my basement.

[00:31:48] And he's like, oh, I got to see this.

[00:31:50] I got to see this.

[00:31:51] And he's just shaking his head.

[00:31:52] I said, no, I'm being serious.

[00:31:54] And I took him downstairs.

[00:31:56] And it was a little crawl space.

[00:31:58] It wasn't like a full basement?

[00:31:59] No, no, no, no.

[00:32:00] It was probably like a, gosh, little area we had sectioned off.

[00:32:07] And there they were.

[00:32:08] There were chickens in the basement.

[00:32:09] We had little heating lamps and stuff to keep them warm and whatnot.

[00:32:12] And Brian just was amazed that we had chickens in the basement.

[00:32:15] So he wasn't a farmer.

[00:32:17] Actually, yeah, he wasn't in the chickens.

[00:32:21] He wasn't even chickens.

[00:32:23] He actually, one thing, he showed sheep in 4-H.

[00:32:27] Awesome.

[00:32:28] So, yeah.

[00:32:30] I could go on and on about it.

[00:32:31] My sponsor, Power of the Future, is Daniel Turner.

[00:32:36] And he was from New York.

[00:32:42] He's a New Yorker.

[00:32:44] And when I first met him, he was a little worried because he's boots on the ground and helping rule America in the energy sector.

[00:32:53] So coal and fossil fuels and blah, blah, blah.

[00:32:57] So he's gotten into, and it's been probably at least three years now, maybe four.

[00:33:02] He bought a little place in Virginia.

[00:33:04] And he's got sheep.

[00:33:06] He's a sheep farmer.

[00:33:08] And so he's got dogs and all this.

[00:33:11] And he's got some, he said he's got some rare breed of cattle, too, I think.

[00:33:17] So he'll be excited that Brian raised sheep.

[00:33:20] Brian grew up with, that is, this is just amazing America.

[00:33:25] You have to understand small town USA.

[00:33:29] That is America.

[00:33:33] So I came from the city and I married a farmer.

[00:33:37] They raised crops, cattle, and hogs.

[00:33:41] And not chickens.

[00:33:43] His dad didn't, they did have chickens at once upon a time.

[00:33:46] But his dad thought they were just too much work.

[00:33:48] Too much work and not enough pay.

[00:33:50] And they just did them for the home.

[00:33:52] They didn't do them to sell them or anything.

[00:33:54] But he didn't like chickens too much.

[00:33:56] So I didn't mean to interrupt the sheep.

[00:33:59] But he raised sheep and showed them in the state fair, huh?

[00:34:01] Yeah.

[00:34:02] So, yeah, he raised sheep.

[00:34:04] Again, did that for 4-H.

[00:34:07] I'm trying to remember if he did that, if, you know, 4-H move up to FFA in high school.

[00:34:12] I don't remember if he did that.

[00:34:13] But, yeah, sheep.

[00:34:17] Gosh, he was, I could just go on and on about the small town things that he did.

[00:34:21] Do you know if his parents are still living?

[00:34:24] His mother is still alive.

[00:34:27] Yeah, she, real quick, when all this went down, I texted my kids.

[00:34:33] And I was telling my wife, Becky, I said, you know, I grew up with this guy.

[00:34:36] And my kids were like, oh, no, you didn't.

[00:34:38] And the way I was able to kind of prove to them that I did was I was like, well, here's his parents' names.

[00:34:44] And here's his brother's name.

[00:34:45] And this is the year we grew up.

[00:34:47] So, yeah, his mother is still alive.

[00:34:49] Her name is Pat.

[00:34:51] And I don't know how long ago, but lost his dad.

[00:34:53] His name was Dennis.

[00:34:55] Yeah, however long ago that was.

[00:34:56] But I was telling him, like, you know, his mom was a hairdresser.

[00:34:59] His dad worked at the co-op.

[00:35:01] He was a manager there at the grain co-op.

[00:35:04] And then some of my kids were like, oh, dad's really telling me the truth.

[00:35:06] And they raise sheep.

[00:35:07] I just find this amazing.

[00:35:09] And, you know, I have this vision.

[00:35:14] So I'm going to ask you to, and I'm going to ask Ed because he comes in here all the time, you know, we need prayer because CSE Talk Radio has a mission.

[00:35:23] And the mission is to serve rural America.

[00:35:27] And when we hear stories like this, this Brian made it big.

[00:35:32] I guess he left the farm.

[00:35:34] And that happens.

[00:35:36] But is his brother still on the farm?

[00:35:39] Do you know anything about that?

[00:35:40] Brother's Day?

[00:35:41] I don't know anything.

[00:35:43] His brother's name was Mark.

[00:35:44] Strange enough, small town.

[00:35:46] His brother, Mark, graduated with my sister.

[00:35:49] So they were in the same class together.

[00:35:52] Mark was the same way, just crazy intelligent.

[00:35:55] But, yeah, I don't know where Mark's at now.

[00:35:58] Okay.

[00:35:58] Okay.

[00:35:59] And, you know, it's just amazing to me.

[00:36:01] Rural America, we are absolutely the foundation of all America.

[00:36:07] Brian's life proves that.

[00:36:09] It just does.

[00:36:10] And, you know, this young man that thought he had the right to take somebody's life, that's not America.

[00:36:19] That's not who we are.

[00:36:21] And we're individuals, and yet we band together.

[00:36:28] And that is my hope for America that's listening today, that you understand.

[00:36:33] Brian Thompson was a son.

[00:36:37] He was a brother.

[00:36:39] He was a childhood friend to many, I'm sure, not just to Nathan.

[00:36:46] And he was a husband.

[00:36:48] And he was a father.

[00:36:51] And no one has a right to snuff away his life just because they're angry.

[00:36:58] And life is precious.

[00:37:01] It's very, very precious.

[00:37:03] And I think in America, we're on our way back.

[00:37:08] But they talk about the culture.

[00:37:10] And I like Greg Kelly.

[00:37:13] I don't always agree with everything he says, but he and I are on the same boat.

[00:37:19] America needs...

[00:37:20] They need to get back to God.

[00:37:22] And that's what Bring America Home is.

[00:37:25] And that's what CSE Talk Radio is talking about.

[00:37:28] I'm not a Christian program.

[00:37:31] I'm a Christian who owns a program, a radio program.

[00:37:36] And it's where we are.

[00:37:40] And I believe we can find our way back.

[00:37:42] And I believe we're on our way back.

[00:37:43] But it needs you, all of you, praying and lifting one another up.

[00:37:49] This is CSE Talk Radio.

[00:37:51] We'll be right back.

[00:39:01] All of you out there know that Mike Lindell and MyPillow

[00:39:03] no longer have the support of their box stores or shopping channels the way they used to.

[00:39:07] They've been a part of the cancel culture,

[00:40:05] the Rolls Royce of nutritional supplements.

[00:40:08] There's nothing like it.

[00:40:15] Its 150 ingredients include 70 plant-derived colloidal minerals,

[00:40:34] Immuno 150 may be the answer.

[00:41:06] The American Crisis Continues.

[00:41:08] In her new book, The American Crisis Continues,

[00:41:11] Beth Ann elaborates on the crises America faces today.

[00:41:15] Invasion at the border, insurrections, lawlessness, climate change, and the cry for democracy.

[00:41:22] These are the times that try men's souls.

[00:41:25] Thomas Paine's words continue to speak to Americans today.

[00:41:28] We the people once again find ourselves under tyranny.

[00:41:32] In The American Crisis Continues, you'll glean wisdom from our founding fathers

[00:41:36] and an understanding why belief in Creator God is the foundation of this nation.

[00:41:42] Liberty is always in the hands of the people,

[00:41:45] but first, it must be a longing and a lust within their hearts.

[00:41:49] The American Crisis Continues is a must-read.

[00:41:52] Order your copy today at csctalkradio.com or amazon.com.

[00:42:05] And we have returned.

[00:42:07] You're listening to CSC Talk Radio.

[00:42:08] This is Beth Ann.

[00:42:09] Well, you know, when you sit and talk, you know, I wondered how long we could talk about Brian in this.

[00:42:15] But when we sit and talk during the commercials, you miss some of the good stuff.

[00:42:18] And he, Nathan remembered another story.

[00:42:21] And so I said state fair, but it was county fair.

[00:42:24] And Brian showed sheep and Nathan had chickens.

[00:42:28] So let's go from there.

[00:42:30] Yeah, so chickens might be my one and only claim to fame.

[00:42:35] 1986, I still have that trophy on my desk at home.

[00:42:40] But no, so, you know, when you show chickens, there's a day where they judge and they do all that.

[00:42:46] And then, of course, you know, for the exhibition, they stay up there the rest of the week.

[00:42:50] And it was maybe two or three days into the fair, and Brian comes running up to me and is like,

[00:42:54] Hey, you need to go hurry up and get up to your chicken coop.

[00:42:58] And we had been doing different stuff.

[00:42:59] I'm like, okay, what's going on?

[00:43:01] And he says, well, they're going to remove your chicken if you don't get that egg out of the cage.

[00:43:07] Chickens lay eggs.

[00:43:08] That's what they do.

[00:43:08] But they're not supposed to stay in the cage.

[00:43:11] You need to go up there and remove the egg.

[00:43:13] I don't know how long you've been there.

[00:43:14] But if I didn't hurry up, they were going to do something with my chicken.

[00:43:17] So Brian actually was very crucial.

[00:43:21] He saved the day.

[00:43:22] So you got the trophy.

[00:43:23] Saved by chicken.

[00:43:24] I don't understand not letting the chicken have an egg, but that's just I don't know a whole lot about judging chickens at the state fair or the county fair or any other fair.

[00:43:32] So that's really cool.

[00:43:34] Those judges were rough, I guess.

[00:43:35] I don't know.

[00:43:36] No eggs.

[00:43:37] Had something against chickens.

[00:43:38] I had something against eggs.

[00:43:40] Eggs are the perfect food.

[00:43:42] Yeah.

[00:43:43] You should be really happy, all those who are into chickens and eggs and stuff, because that's a keto thing.

[00:43:49] Keto is chicken and eggs, and eggs are perfect food anyway.

[00:43:54] So I hope that what we've done today has helped you some, because I know you're grieving as a childhood friend, the passing of a schoolmate and friend.

[00:44:07] Even though you've lost touch with them, you go back to those memories and you think about that.

[00:44:15] And it's, you know, life goes on, but those are things that make us.

[00:44:21] Now, we were talking about music, and you said, well, that he had the Midas touch.

[00:44:26] You also what?

[00:44:26] Oh, gosh.

[00:44:27] Yeah, Brian, everything that he did turned to gold.

[00:44:31] So, yeah, that Midas touch.

[00:44:32] He played the trombone, you know, was like a state qualifier every year.

[00:44:37] Yeah, just he could do anything.

[00:44:39] He was amazing.

[00:44:40] And it's a big deal to make state.

[00:44:43] It's a huge deal, and I've told the story here before that I made – I was able to go to state with my music contest with vocals, but the school was so small they wouldn't allow me to go to state because they didn't think one student – I was the only one.

[00:45:01] The choir didn't qualify.

[00:45:02] They didn't get a one.

[00:45:03] You have to get a one each time you sing to go on.

[00:45:07] And since I was just one student, they didn't want to take a teacher out for the entire day for one student.

[00:45:15] So I never got to go to state, and that's the way the good Lord keeps us humble, you know.

[00:45:19] No telling what I would have become if I had gone to state, you know.

[00:45:26] You still have a radio show.

[00:45:28] I don't know.

[00:45:29] If you'd have told me back then I was going to do radio, I'd have laughed at you.

[00:45:32] So I'm one of those that didn't go to college.

[00:45:37] I decided to go, as my mother called it, the school of hard knocks.

[00:45:40] And you work for Cargill, and I told him we don't hold that against him.

[00:45:44] You know what we think of big corporations.

[00:45:46] But Cargill serves a lot of people, and they employ a lot of people, and they're not 100 percent bad.

[00:45:55] I'd like to think so.

[00:45:56] Yeah, yep.

[00:45:57] So you're in charge of the hatchery.

[00:45:58] I am.

[00:45:59] Back to the eggs, huh?

[00:46:00] Back to the eggs.

[00:46:01] Yeah, millions and millions.

[00:46:03] Yeah, and so many of you might remember I was talking about I finally got new carpet in my house.

[00:46:10] The carpet was 30 to 40 years old.

[00:46:12] And again, how small this world is.

[00:46:16] Well, I call him a young man because he's not really young.

[00:46:19] They're all young to me anymore.

[00:46:23] That laid carpet, that was just a part-time job.

[00:46:25] And he had another part-time job, and that was sexing turkeys.

[00:46:29] And my husband tells us, I go, that's a thing?

[00:46:33] Sexing turkeys?

[00:46:33] And so if you're in the hatchery business, this young man that sexes turkeys, I guess he's more of a freelancer.

[00:46:42] So they bring him in every now and then and have him go through the turkeys and let him know which one's male and which one's female, right?

[00:46:48] That's what he does.

[00:46:49] He helps us out when we're in a pinch.

[00:46:52] So, again, small world.

[00:46:54] It is small.

[00:46:55] And he came from another state as well, but I don't think it was Iowa.

[00:46:59] He came from another state.

[00:47:01] He's got ties to Fresno, California, if I'm not mistaken.

[00:47:03] Well, his mother did the sexing.

[00:47:05] Exactly.

[00:47:06] And so he learned that from his mother.

[00:47:09] And they serve small town.

[00:47:11] That's what they do.

[00:47:12] You know?

[00:47:13] Cargill may be a big company, but it's in small towns.

[00:47:16] And it is the farmers that are raising those chickens.

[00:47:19] Are those turkeys?

[00:47:20] And we can always debate, you know, what the contracts look like.

[00:47:23] But at the same time, it is serving America.

[00:47:27] Real quick, not to go down the rabbit hole, but Cargill is what brought me to California, Missouri.

[00:47:32] And I kind of laughed.

[00:47:34] My wife was working at Cargill at the time in the office.

[00:47:36] Oh, Becky worked there.

[00:47:36] I did not know that.

[00:47:37] And so I kind of chuckled that we are a Cargill love story.

[00:47:43] Almost 31 years.

[00:47:44] Come on, Hallmark.

[00:47:45] Where are you?

[00:47:46] I got the flannel on today.

[00:47:48] Yeah.

[00:47:48] Got his flannel on today.

[00:47:50] It's plaid.

[00:47:50] And that's all right.

[00:47:52] For Hallmark, yeah.

[00:47:52] Yep.

[00:47:53] You know, we watched the Hallmark movie the other night.

[00:47:58] I guess it was Friday night, the one with the Kansas City Chiefs.

[00:48:02] It's a typical Hallmark movie.

[00:48:03] I don't think the acting was real great, but it's been a long time since I'd watched Hallmark

[00:48:08] because I'm stuck on the news all night.

[00:48:10] And I really am on a rut with that.

[00:48:13] And so, anyway, it is what it is.

[00:48:18] But it is a small, small world that we live in.

[00:48:21] And I think God reminds us of that every day.

[00:48:25] And back to Daniel Turner raising sheep.

[00:48:28] When he started with me, when I first had him on, he wasn't a sponsor at that time.

[00:48:33] I'd read something that he had written.

[00:48:36] And I said, this is my kind of guy.

[00:48:38] So I had him on the air.

[00:48:40] But he was worried about small town USA, rural America, accepting him.

[00:48:44] You know, we had that New York brogue and stuff.

[00:48:47] And I said, I'm going to tell you something about small town.

[00:48:50] It may take a little while to win them over.

[00:48:53] But once you've got them, they're loyal.

[00:48:55] They're loyal to you.

[00:48:56] And so we always appreciate small town, small town Iowa and small town Missouri,

[00:49:05] small towns everywhere across this nation.

[00:49:07] And that's my dream.

[00:49:08] I don't want on the big networks.

[00:49:10] I want on the small little radio stations.

[00:49:14] And those are really hard to get on.

[00:49:17] But that's what I want to do.

[00:49:19] Because I think rural America will save all of America.

[00:49:22] And I think they kind of were the ones who were elected Donald Trump.

[00:49:28] But he alone is not the Savior.

[00:49:30] He is not.

[00:49:31] It's got to be the people.

[00:49:32] You can't vote and walk away.

[00:49:34] And, of course, the real Savior is Jesus Christ.

[00:49:38] And, Nathan, thank you.

[00:49:40] Thank you for sharing your childhood with us.

[00:49:43] A few funny stories.

[00:49:46] Come by anytime.

[00:49:47] All right.

[00:49:48] I appreciate that.

[00:49:49] So thank you for the opportunity.

[00:49:50] You're welcome.

[00:49:51] You're okay.

[00:49:51] And your father-in-law is okay.

[00:49:53] We go way back.

[00:49:54] We go way back.

[00:49:56] And you're right.

[00:49:57] He's highly intelligent.

[00:49:58] Holy cow.

[00:49:59] He is.

[00:50:00] He is.

[00:50:00] Yeah.

[00:50:01] He tries to give it to you all at once, though.

[00:50:04] I better have a seat.

[00:50:06] I only got a minute.

[00:50:07] An hour later.

[00:50:08] Right.

[00:50:09] I got things to do.

[00:50:10] People might think that of me, too, you know.

[00:50:13] Do you ever run out of things to talk about?

[00:50:15] And Rudy just kind of laughs.

[00:50:18] Nope.

[00:50:19] Nope.

[00:50:19] We don't.

[00:50:20] Even today, we chased a few rabbits.

[00:50:22] But that's what we do.

[00:50:22] Because we are rural America.

[00:50:24] And we got rabbits.

[00:50:25] We got chickens.

[00:50:26] We got sheep.

[00:50:27] We got cattle.

[00:50:27] We got hogs.

[00:50:28] And we got eggs.

[00:50:31] It takes us.

[00:50:32] It really does.

[00:50:33] It's a small, small world.

[00:50:35] And the United States, we think we're big.

[00:50:37] But we're pretty small.

[00:50:38] And it's time that we all came together to bring America home.

[00:50:42] God bless you.

[00:51:47] Do we lack enthusiasm and understanding of the word liberty?

[00:51:51] Do we weep for liberty which we have lost?

[00:51:54] Or do we simply not understand the substance and sacrifice for which we were once privileged?

[00:51:59] Liberty.

[00:52:00] Webster defines liberty as the state of being free within society

[00:52:04] from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's life, behavior, or political views.

[00:52:10] Today we seem to want restrictions.

[00:52:13] Government micromanaging our lives?

[00:52:15] But do we realize the cost?

[00:52:18] Alexander Hamilton once stated,

[00:52:20] There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty

[00:52:22] that makes human nature rise above itself in acts of bravery and heroism.

[00:52:28] As a republic, we the people must guard the liberty of others.

[00:52:31] We must continue the enthusiasm that will make men free.

[00:52:46] What if things were made in America again?

[00:52:49] We all complain about our products,

[00:52:51] even our food coming from foreign lands and foreign laborers.

[00:52:54] But do we really understand?

[00:52:56] James Stubert didn't understand,

[00:52:57] so he dug in and wow, he kept digging in.

[00:53:00] It all started with a light bulb.

[00:53:02] It held the label GE, but it read,

[00:53:04] Made in China.

[00:53:05] Jim has done the research.

[00:53:07] Now you can have the answers in detail.

[00:53:09] Consumers can rebuild the middle class

[00:53:11] by buying things made in American communities.

[00:53:14] Find out why free trade resulted in

[00:53:17] six million lost manufacturing jobs

[00:53:19] and lower wages for most Americans.

[00:53:21] While free trade brought cheaper goods,

[00:53:23] we also had less money to purchase goods.

[00:53:26] That giant sucking sound

[00:53:28] sucked the life right out of American manufacturing.
