[00:00:28] Alle Tourdaten auf bsw-tour25.de Morally straight, politically incorrect and just plain great. It's the Ron Edwards American Experience. On with the show, this is it. Here we go.

[00:01:15] Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Ron Edwards American Experience talk show where our unalienable rights are celebrated. And now, your radio refreshment, Ron Edwards.

[00:01:56] Well, good day, good day and hello and how are you? I'm Ron Edwards and welcome to the Ron Edwards American Experience. And do we have a show for you today? Yep, yep, yep, yep. Lots of things going on. You know that. I know that. We all know that. Trump has signed an executive order to expand and reduce the cost of the IVF, aiming to make fertility treatments more accessible for American families.

[00:02:24] An Ali Obama judge reinstated a Biden-appointed chairwoman of Merit Systems Protection Board says that Trump doesn't have the authority to fire her. That's new on me. And we'll be discussing that a little bit later. Later, we might be able to touch on Europe's self-inflicted irrelevance. It's like every single day, Europe becomes more or less relevant.

[00:02:53] And they did it to themselves. They did it to themselves in defiance of liberty, in defiance of the rights of its own people. And in fact, for instance, in the case of Germany, in defiance of its own God-given sovereignty. Crazy is what crazy does. And that's what the left are all about. Today, we've got a great guest. Many of you guys are familiar with Tom Caldwell.

[00:03:20] He's an innocent J6er who was needlessly and cruelly treated in prison, beaten, kicked, had to go to hospital. And he even says that he believes that they wanted him to die. And we're going to be getting to some of the details. I believe he was given a commutation of sentence by President Trump. But could it be that a full pardon is in order? I think so.

[00:03:50] Anyway, we'll be talking about that and other important topics after the break. But in the meantime, my friends. Well, President Trump has revealed that he's offered General Flynn several positions in his administration. But he has yet to take one, although they were together last evening at a particular gathering. And something that is very infuriating to me.

[00:04:19] Now, I'm sure many of you are familiar with the old play, Jesus Christ Superstar. I remember that. And I thought, well, I didn't know the term, but if you were to define it by today's term of woke, I would have called it woke even back then.

[00:04:41] But today, they're going to make an even more woke version of the already woke Jesus Christ Superstar. Because at least in the first one, they went sort of along with the real story and what happened. And they, of course, utilized a man to play Jesus Christ.

[00:05:05] But this iteration, they're allowing or they've cast a black, lesbian. I was going to say ugly, but I won't say ugly. Female to play Jesus Christ. Now, to me, this is utter blasphemy. This is evil. This is disrespectful. Anything negative you can think of to say, it's what it is.

[00:05:35] Now, the question is, would there be a similar play regarding Buddha? I wonder if it would be a real insult to Buddha if a thin woman played Buddha. Because we all know that the real Buddha was a real fat guy. And so it would probably be disrespectful to play, to utilize a thin woman to play a fat Buddha.

[00:06:01] And what about a female, a black female, especially playing Muhammad, the pedophile leader of the Islamic way of life? I'm just wondering. Actually, I'm not.

[00:06:17] I'm just throwing these questions out there and just pointing out through questions the hypocrisy that we have to deal with in today's society. But one of the reasons why, and I'm going to throw this out here. Some of my Christian friends won't like this.

[00:06:37] One of the reasons why this kind of disrespect occurs, why they would do this towards Jesus and not towards Muhammad or even fat Buddha, is because Christians, for the most part, in recent decades, have carried themselves as wimpus americanus apologeticus. Or in other countries, or in other countries, just wimps in general.

[00:07:03] The men in Africa allow themselves to be chased out of their homes and their wives beaten and raped and their babies burned alive in Africa. It just goes on and on and on. Christians, the largest, you know, gathering of humans in the world, over two billion Christians in the world, or those who call themselves as such. But yet they're the most pushed around people on earth.

[00:07:27] And I just have more than a sneaking suspicion that God did not design Christians to be, you know, the world's whipping post. I understand we're supposed to turn the other cheek. But we don't keep spinning around until there are no cheeks left. We're just cheekless, just walking around, no cheeks, no nothing, no rights, no respect.

[00:07:54] And I just think that it's awful. Well, a Nigerian British actress, the same one that's playing a thin black lesbian Jesus, threatens President Trump with witchcraft. I find that very interesting. By the way, she's not the only witch that has been threatening President Trump.

[00:08:20] Witches all over the world have been threatening people that are trying to do good for a long time. And they can easily be defeated. So we're not worried about this witch threatening President Trump because we have a much more powerful source on our side anyway. So to heck with her.

[00:08:45] Another thing that's been going on, $2.7 trillion in fraudulent U.S. government payments discovered. And the beat goes on. We cannot forget that Doge reveals $4.7 trillion of taxpayer money went into a government black hole. And they say it's untraceable, but they might be honing into where a lot of it is gone. Not all of it, but I read that they're getting close. Well, they may be getting close.

[00:09:16] Well, Kash Patel has passed a key Senate confirmation vote. And Howard Lutnik has been confirmed as Secretary of Commerce. We hope that was a wise choice. But I want to get back to this Ali Obama judge reinstating Biden-appointed chairwoman of Marriage Systems Protection Board,

[00:09:44] saying that the president doesn't have the authority to fire her. Now, since when has an employee at a government agency had more power or more importance than the president of the United States of America? I mean, you have most world leaders who don't even carry themselves as being more important than the president of the United States.

[00:10:11] And yet you have this entity, this imbecile right here in America saying that the president of the United States of America doesn't have the authority to fire someone. What will bother me more is if President Trump allows that to stand and he doesn't slap that to the moon somewhere. You have another crazy judge ripping in the lawyers. What's up, folks? Stay tuned. Be right back after these important messages.

[00:13:10] In the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, this is Tom Caldwell. You're listening to the Voice of Reason, Ron Edwards, on the Ron Edwards American Experience. Absolutely. This is the Ron Edwards American Experience. I'm Ron Edwards.

[00:13:41] And thanks, by the way, for joining us from throughout America and around the world as we blow away the myths and reveal the truth. Today our guest is Mr. Tom Caldwell. He's an innocent J-6er who was brutally treated by the government. And here he is. Hello and welcome back, Mr. Caldwell. Well, hi, Ron. Thank you. It's such a thrill to be back on the Ron Edwards American Experience. It's been a long, long time.

[00:14:08] And you have been carrying our message to your listeners for quite some time. And I'm surprised to know how far your influence carries. This is a shameless hello to people like Chuck, who's out at Pella Mid-Atlantic in Beltsville, Maryland. There's Michael's prayer group, men's prayer group out at Bernie, Texas. People all across the country, thousands of people, listen to you because they know you're the voice of reason.

[00:14:36] Es folgt Parteienwerbung zur Bundestagswahl. Unser Land verdient mehr als die gescheiterten Rezepte der alten Parteien. Mehr Lehrer und Ärzte, leistungsgerechte Löhne und höhere Renten, Investitionen in Straßen, Brücken und die Bahn und eine Politik des Friedens. Ich bin Sarah Wagenknecht und ich freue mich auf meinen Besuch in Ihrer Stadt. Sarah kommt nach Berlin am 20. Februar um 17.30 Uhr auf den Platz vor dem Brandenburger Tor.

[00:15:05] Alle Tourdaten auf bswtour25.de Wow, I really appreciate that and Godspeed to all of them. And especially to you, sir, and your family. When we found out that you would not be returning to prison and no longer suffering, both my wife and I rejoiced to high heaven for this. But at the same time, we still lament what you had to go through. The beatings, the hospitalization.

[00:15:35] And it's sad to read that even you thought that your own government wanted you to die. And for the life of me, I'm still wondering why they would want that to happen or for any of the J6ers. It just goes to show you, sir, how wicked the left is in this country. And you never even went to the Capitol. You weren't even on the Capitol grounds as far as I understand. Am I correct? That's correct.

[00:16:05] You know, Sharon and I went to hear the president like so many thousands of other people. And we never went on the Capitol grounds until we had been told that Congress was gone. And, you know, in January 2021, when they pulled a SWAT raid on our farm, totally caught us off guard because we hadn't done anything wrong. They accused me of being the mastermind of January 6th and that I had a plot to forcibly overtake the U.S. Capitol

[00:16:33] by a D-Day style invasion across the Potomac. It was insanity. And that began an odyssey that is so bizarre, so painful, so twisted that most people wouldn't even wouldn't even believe it unless you laid it out. But four years later, after a jury, a D.C. jury acquitted me of seditious conspiracy

[00:16:57] and all the other conspiracy counts brought by the DOJ and the U.S. Supreme Court threw out another bogus charge. My sentence on January 10th of this year was for deleting exculpatory photos, including selfies from J6, from one single text message on Facebook. That's it. I paid the customary $100 court cost.

[00:17:24] And here's what no one else but you and your listeners are going to hear publicly. Here it comes. This federal judge named Amit Mehta looked directly at me and he said, it's been a long four years for you and me together, Mr. Caldwell. Your counsel's recommendation of time served, the 53 days that I served in solitary way back in 2021, that is appropriate, he says, and that's what I'm ruling. Take care of yourself. All rise. And that was it.

[00:17:52] So that is what we call a commutation. So he commuted my sentence to that which had already happened. You can imagine our dismay and confusion, talking about Sharon, my lovely wife and I, when on Inauguration Day, President Trump pardoned almost 1,600 J6 people that were overcharged,

[00:18:22] over-sentenced, wrongly treated by this government. And yet there were 14 people whose sentences were commuted to time served. I was on that list of 14. You can't commute a sentence that was already commuted. So that act by the president for us was a nothing burger.

[00:18:44] So we received the answer to the prayers, not only of this household, but I think maybe hundreds of thousands of people around the world, that our sentence was, you're not going back to prison. You've suffered enough. And that's what this judge said. But now we've just got to decide what we're going to do, how we're going to clear my name. Yeah, Jesus Christ.

[00:19:07] Well, I think that we need to all continue to try to get the message to President Trump that you deserve a full pardon, that you did nothing wrong, no matter what someone may have whispered in his ear, that you need full clearance so that you can get on with your life completely.

[00:19:29] And if it were up to me, I would order that the judicial system pay you guys back for money's loss, for property loss, things of that nature. I know that you went through a hard time with your farming situation. You guys should be restored.

[00:19:53] I mean, any time that a person or family has to go through the kind of things that you went through in the United States of America, there should be nothing less than a full refund based upon all that you went through. I think that's only fair. What say you? Well, I really appreciate that, Ron. And I think that there are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of other J6 families that have suffered at least as badly as we have,

[00:20:23] probably many, many worse, some with young kids. My wife and I are not spring chickens, although I look to be 20 years older than I am, and she always appears to be 20 years younger than she is. But we have suffered. As you can imagine, and I'm sure that your listeners would relate to this, after four years of fighting our way literally through a valley of a shadow of death,

[00:20:49] you can understand that Sharon and I are done with legal stuff. We have the ability to fight through the appellate court system. That can take years. And, you know, I have a limited amount of energy and oomph left in this old 70-year-old body. And, you know, we just kind of want to get on with our lives. I don't know how easy it is to sue the federal government.

[00:21:16] Historically, it has been really, really rough, even if you can find a lawyer who will take your case. And that wasn't easy, even in the criminal defense that we had to go through. So I don't know. It would be great to be restored. But even in our state, and we look out and the farm is empty and all that, we are so blessed, Rod. We're so blessed by people like you and your lovely wife, Denise, and her prayer warriors.

[00:21:43] And so many people have been pulling for us across the country, in Canada, in the U.K., in Australia, and being on our side. And we have lost a lot. But we have also gained a lot. And our relationship, Sharon and mine, as husband and wife and best friends, has never been stronger. And our relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, has never been stronger.

[00:22:10] And that is a terrifically good thing to come out of all this. And I think that is most important, because after all it's said and done, you know, one day you and all the rest of us, if we make it in, we'll look back at this as like a second of time. In the grand scheme of things, of eternity, this is but a second of time. And it will eventually fade into the ash heap of memory, and it'll be forgotten.

[00:22:41] But in the meantime, in between time, and for the time remaining, I think that, no, you may not have what you need to sue the federal government. But I do think that there should be some type of restitution, because this is unjust. And there might be a chance that that could happen. I really believe that, because this government is going through sort of a self-cleansing right now through the Doge movement and things of that nature.

[00:23:09] But I want to get into, when we come back on the other side of the break, I want to just get into a little bit of the details of some of the things that you went through on a personal level when they had you in solitary confinement and all of that. And elders as well, when we return on this, the Ron Edwards American Experience. Is that okay with you, Mr. Caldwell? You bet. Glad to stick around, Ron. Thank you. Thank you. And we'll be right back after this.

[00:23:37] From the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, this is Tom Caldwell, innocent January 6th defendant and proud Navy veteran. You're listening to the voice of reason, Ron Edwards, on the Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:24:18] Since when and who gave the judiciary the authority to function as a parallel executive branch of the government? Hello, I'm Ron Edwards. On today's Space for Me, I'm a Snowbook brought to you by Root Brands Premium Products for Your Body and Soul. Recently, a black-robed-gone-wild leftist judge usurped President Trump's authority and blocked the president's legal order to send dangerous Venezuelan gang members to Gitmo.

[00:24:43] This action illustrates the pure evil intentions of leftists who will try any measure to ensure the endangerment of we the people as well as the literal destruction of our republic. Such radical judicial activism masquerading as law is a clear and present danger that opens the door to a possible constitutional and American security crisis.

[00:25:05] There is absolutely no constitutional provision that permits leftist judges to block the president from protecting our republic from enemies, both foreign and domestic, including Satan-worshipping drug and human trafficking cartel members who were emboldened by the previous Uncle Joe administration to wreak havoc along our southern border and in our cities, suburbs, and even country towns. I'm Ron Edwards.

[00:27:07] Ron Edwards, the new voice of America. Welcome back.

[00:27:33] This is the Ron Edwards American Experience, and we are in conversation with our guest today, Tom Caldwell, innocent J6 here. And he's here to converse with us. Welcome back, Tom. And again, it's an honor to have you. And I wanted to get into maybe some of the details about how you were treated. Um, um, 53 days in a row, um, you, you, you, you received beatings and you were in solitary confinement.

[00:28:02] And, uh, it wasn't exactly delectable food you were given to eat either, was it? Es folgt Parteienwerbung zur Bundestagswahl. Unser Land verdient mehr als die gescheiterten Rezepte der alten Parteien. Mehr Lehrer und Ärzte, leistungsgerechte Löhne und höhere Renten, Investitionen in Straßen, Brücken und die Bahn. Und eine Politik des Friedens. Ich bin Sarah Wagenknecht. Und ich freue mich auf meinen Besuch in ihrer Stadt. Sarah kommt nach Berlin.

[00:28:32] Am 20. Februar um 17.30 Uhr auf den Platz vor dem Brandenburger Tor. Alle Tourdaten auf bswtour25.de. No, it certainly wasn't. And, uh, you know, I, when I finally got some freedom, I was visited by this wonderful community that we have. All the friends came out to greet me. I felt like I had just come back from Vietnam prisoner of war camp.

[00:28:58] And, uh, I sort of regaled them with stories of some of this stuff. Um, you know, my, my recounting of Seafood Friday, where the, the stuff that they served on the rubber tray that they passed under the door, uh, looked like, uh, you know, what they call slime eels that live on the bottom of the ocean. They were served up in some kind of a gooey non-Newtonian fluid. And I'm going, you gotta be kidding me.

[00:29:26] And the, and the other thing that was always present, uh, was the, the stems from broccoli. I started, it was a little raw. I started calling them broccoli butts because they're usually the stuff that you cut off and throw away. But, but they are the go-to vegetable of the stem of the broccoli in the prison system in Virginia. And I should point out that everybody has heard bad tales of the gulag in DC.

[00:29:54] There are many gulags. Many of the J6s were dispersed far from their families. I was stuck in a place called, uh, Orange, Virginia. And, uh, it was actually a state-run facility, but they have a contract to serve the feds and do their bidding.

[00:30:10] And when my wife found out, as I was already languishing in solitary, where I had been taken, uh, the, the local constabulary here, the sheriff's department, there was at least one person that told her, oh gosh, he went there. So, so it was an indicator that I was not going to be treated well, but, um, being in solitary, sometimes in total darkness, um, sometimes when there were lights on, they would flash.

[00:30:39] Just like you see out of 1960s, uh, James Bond kind of torture them scenes, uh, sound torture, uh, all that kind of stuff. The physical stuff. Yeah. Okay. But when they mess with the mind body connection, especially for an old guy like me, and I am an old guy and I'm beat up pretty bad. And I have to take a lot of medications like many of us do.

[00:31:03] I would just say how many of us would last very long if we didn't have our pain meds or arthritis meds or our, uh, blood pressure meds or, you know, our diabetes medicine. When you're deprived of things like that, uh, you're already put into a bad situation, sleeping on a nice cold floor. With a threadbare, uh, covering that they call a cozy cover blanket. All those things just lead to a swirling down the drain of despair.

[00:31:34] Jeez. And you, you also mentioned about how there were the beatings and kicking and, and things of that nature. And you had to, uh, actually go to hospital because of the maltreatment. Am I correct? Well, actually not while I was at the facility because they would never have taken me to a medical facility. In fact, I didn't never even saw a doctor there, but, um, afterwards I, you know, what was done exacerbated some existing situations that I had.

[00:32:03] You know, when somebody stomps on your neck while you're on the ground, if you've got neck problems, it doesn't help. So, so it was that kind of thing, but no, they never took me out to go to get any kind of medical attention. And, uh, it's, you know, uh, it's, it's a heartbreaking thing and, and we can talk about the maltreatment, but I'll tell you there were, I've heard these stories from other J6s where they were tear gassed in their faces.

[00:32:29] Um, you know, stripped naked and put in a cage in a central facility, a central location where people could walk by and see them with no covering on them at all. And I go, well, I had it bad. I had it, uh, almost to the edge of my ability to keep it together, but there were still people that were treated worse. And now that people can talk in a, in a frank and open way as we are doing right now, and I bless you for that.

[00:32:58] Um, a lot more is going to be out there in the public domain and people are going to start to say, oh my gosh, I had no idea. Well, that was part of the plan. You weren't supposed to know. And one of, one of the things that I found most hypocritical is that, um, in many locales, New York City being one of them.

[00:33:18] Um, if, if they even thought that a criminal was being wrongly treated in prison, I mean, they would go, go to Nutsville. And in fact, uh, they were letting real criminals go and they still are. If you're a thug, you can be let go and, uh, you can do whatever you want, beat up people. And, um, if they hurt, harmed a head on their head, the police would be in big heaping trouble.

[00:33:44] But then when I would hear the stories about what's been happening to you guys, it just riles you. And sometimes it even, um, questions, you, you, you question your own country and, and you, you wonder what in the hell are we paying for with our tax dollars and how low has our morality gotten?

[00:34:04] But I think, sir, that you set a huge example about what it means to have faith, to understand what it means to walk with Christ, no matter what you're going through. And that you, it seems like you never forgot, forgot the fact that in his word that he says, he's always there with you, going through with you. So you're, you're, you're technically not alone. And I guess the proof of that is that you're out. Absolutely.

[00:34:32] You know, they, a lot of people nowadays have forgotten the story of Nelson Mandela, who was held for four decades in solitary confinement. In fact, the, the Mandela Accords, which are signed and ratified by virtually every country around the world, except the U S and red China and Russia says that 14 years of 14 days of solitary confinement. Continuously is by definition torture, according to the United Nations special raconteur.

[00:35:01] But they didn't care about that. And I wasn't the only one that was subjected to that. I was taken right to the, right to the wall. I would say right now, the moments that I was able to share with my wife, Sharon over the phone. And I want people to picture this, if they will, the, the phone is kind of like the old push button payphone type. And they have it on casters and they roll it in front of your solid steel door. And they drop open a thing about the size of a mail slot that many people have in their front door.

[00:35:31] And this little handset is put through. And I had to balance on my knees to speak with her. And she was such an important part of keeping me together. And she would read scripture to me when they would not let me have a Bible. I did eventually get one at about day 46 of my incarceration. But she was very important.

[00:35:57] And she wanted me to make sure that I knew that God knew what we were going through. She and I together. She was in her own hell, worrying about me all the time. And for people that are listening to this, they're saying, oh, he's another one of those Jesus guys. Yes, I am. Because I've seen him and I know he exists. And I'll tell you all about it. And so someday, Ron, when you and Denise come to visit us here in the Valley of Virginia,

[00:36:25] or we're able to come to Michigan, I will say, like I always say, I'll speak at the opening of a car door about the goodness of God and how he brought me out of that pit. Wow. Well, if you have a few minutes to share some of that with us today on the show, we'd like you to share a bit of that. Because right now, we need this kind of faith in our entire nation.

[00:36:48] I mean, we do have an optimistic outlook because of the outcome of the vote and things of that nature for the presidency. And things are looking better. But we're still in a fight. And just as you were and probably still are in many ways. And so, yeah, I mean, we can always use that story and stories like that. And as far as I'm concerned, any time of the day, any time, any place, anywhere.

[00:37:18] What was it like for you? Just before we had to break, what was it like for you when the election occurred and President Trump was proclaimed victorious? I just had to know, because I was wondering during the election, I wonder how folks like Tom Caldwell, what they're thinking, what's going through their minds right now. Can you share a little bit of that with us? I think there was a watershed moment really for our country.

[00:37:47] Think about what we had been through the previous four years. For Sharon and me, it was not so much elation as we thought, wow, maybe we have turned the corner. Bear in mind that I still had not been sentenced. And the Gorgons were just over the hill. And they were saying, hey, you're going to have to come back to this D.C. court. And they had the ability to throw me in prison.

[00:38:12] And they wanted four years in federal prison for me for taking down selfies from January 6th off of one text string. So we were really up against it. The madness that we had seen convinced us that that type of madness could still happen before President Trump got into office. Because I was originally scheduled to go to sentencing in December. And then it was pushed to January.

[00:38:40] If it had actually been pushed to the 20th of January, I wouldn't be worried about getting a pardon. Because I would not have been sentenced and I would have been free. But we were hopeful that for all the J6ers that were still locked up, that moment when the president won the election fair and square was going to be the heralding of the countdown to them being released and getting to their families.

[00:39:07] We felt that one way or another, he was going to bring people out of prison. And that might be the first step. And we're welcome to that. So while we were still uneasy about our situation, we knew that this was a good thing for so many families across this country. Did the treatment begin to improve once President Trump took office? At least was voted in when he was still president-elect?

[00:39:37] Did things begin to become more positive? I don't know about that for sure. Because during this time, until we came up to our victory on January 10th, I was forbidden to have any contact with any J6 people, even those who had served their time and had come out. I wasn't able to have a cell phone or get on the Internet. I was in a form of isolation, you know, with my ankle bracelet on there so they could track me.

[00:40:06] So I was really kept away from finding out the conditions of others. I was getting it second and third hand. As you know, Sharon works very hard with the Patriot Freedom Project, which was the first charity to raise funds to help J6 families. So she was finding out some of the stories, but I have no first-hand knowledge about that. I figure it's pretty bad. Es folgt Parteienwerbung zur Bundestagswahl.

[00:44:04] a charter member of the emerging new mainstream media. He's not the biggest, but your voices and actions are, so don't give up. You're listening to the voice of reason, Ron Edwards, on the Ron Edwards American Experience. Yes, my fellow Americans, I think heterosexual month is a great idea. What say you?

[00:44:32] Let me know via Edwards Notebook 1 at ProtonMail.com. This is, of course, the Ron Edwards American Experience with our guest today, Jay Sixer, the innocent Jay Sixer amongst many innocent Jay Sixers, Tom Caldwell.

[00:45:02] Tom, I've got one last question to ask you, and I would like to know, how did Holy Spirit sustain you? And you can guess. Let me distill that. Ask that question. Let me distill that. Well, I would just say that when you are suffering that way,

[00:45:28] you will find out that the stories of the Bible and the promises of the Bible are true. And I'll give you an example. When I finally did get a tattered old copy of the New King James Bible passed to me by a guard, I don't know what happened, why he would feel that it was okay to do that. And I'm so glad. I sat down on that ice-cold floor and I said, where do I begin?

[00:45:57] Where do I begin as a guy who was raised in the church, but whose faith had grown a little tepid over time? And now I've got not a friend in the world, and nobody knows how bad Sharon and I are being treated. Nobody cares. And I open up the Bible in my lap to wherever the pages would fall. And it was Psalm 109. The mouths of the wicked and the mouths of the deceitful are opened against me.

[00:46:27] They speak of me with a lying tongue. I'm sorry, I'm getting a little emotional there. And I went, what? What? And I turned to Psalm 56. More words of, I know what's going on. I know what's going on. And then as Sharon directed me and we started looking into Philippians, where it speaks about, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving,

[00:46:55] present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. And then I knew, and I did have a moment in there where I knew that I was not alone. And I haven't spoken publicly about it, but someday I'm going to have to at length. I knew he was with me. He was there. And when I say I've seen him, people say, oh, but not in the natural. I don't even know what that means.

[00:47:24] But I have seen his glory in an absolutely dark cavern where it became blindingly bright. And then I knew that it was a sign. And then, you know, he didn't bring me to heaven like I hoped he would because I was suffering. But it was like, okay, here you are. What else do you need to see? Get off your knees. And I went, okay, I'll stay on my knees only to praise you. And that was a turning point.

[00:47:53] That was somewhere around day 47, day 42, something like that of my incarceration. There's a lot of information that we have on our website. Shameless plug, www.saveourfarmva.com. Sharon built that website for us so we could get the word out.

[00:48:16] But that was my watershed moment in there where I knew then that someone knew it was God. Jesus had come and said, look, I'm here. What else do you need? And that's when I started to really gain sustenance from the word of God. That's our daily bread.

[00:48:40] Not the death worms that they were serving us and the sweat meat and these things that don't even pass for food as I have come to understand the word. That is a big change for me. And it's been an incredible ride since then filled with miracles that come seemingly out of nowhere as we continue to keep the faith, Sharon and I.

[00:49:07] And for people who are going through any kind of an imprisonment or a hell of your own creation or made by someone else, even though you're a good person and you didn't deserve it. No, you didn't deserve it. But don't be mad at God because he didn't do it. There's a lot of bad people out there. And the light of truth is going to shine on them. We see it in the government right now where people are running away from the light. And so the light is what we need to embrace.

[00:49:37] The darkness is where the evil lives. And I think that's probably one of the reasons why they kept me in the worst possible facility they could get in the worst conditions. And while they meant it to be my end, it was only the beginning. And we declare that there's a new beginning for you and Sharon and that you have many bright days ahead. And I want to thank you for your testimony. I want to thank you for coming on today and sharing with us.

[00:50:07] And boy, we're going to have you back in the not too distant future as well, because there's, I believe, still a lot to unpack, especially talking about our faith and coming through. And I think that your story can really bring light. You are a light in our republic. And it's because of people like you that our republic does have even a chance to be great again. And I want to thank you again for joining us. And Godspeed to you and yours, sir. You're very kind.

[00:50:36] Thank you, Ron, so much. It's been a pleasure to be on the Ron Edwards American Experience, as always. Yeah, the pleasure is mine. God bless you guys. And, folks, the website you can check out is www.saveourfarmva.org to check out more information. Or if you want to help the good folks out, help them out. We're going to do that. And you can join us.

[00:51:02] Well, looking towards other stories and things that are going on throughout our world and our republic, it seems that, you know, they're still on the lookout for the crazies that are throughout our republic. Democrat, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoes a bill to speed up vote counting process. So these dunderheads are still out there, my friends.

[00:51:28] You got the Arizona governor blocking an improvement process for the voting situation in Arizona. You've got other situations. And something I brought up earlier about Europe, self-inflicting its own irrelevance. This is something. See, Europe is about five to ten years, depending on which nation you're focusing on.

[00:51:57] But at least five to ten years ahead of the United States of America when it comes to deterioration or movement towards socialism and other stupid forms of government and governance. And you don't want the problems that they're having in Europe right now. Yes, Europe is very beautiful. Her cities are legendary, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

[00:52:23] But I'm looking here at a video on one of the main bridges in London that leads right across. You go straight towards the Big Bend Tower. We crossed that bridge a few years ago. And when we were there, there were hundreds of thousands, many, many tourists. Well, I'm looking at a video right now where it's nothing but Muslims, Muslim men.

[00:52:53] Tens of thousands. They're blocking. No tourists can go by. No British citizens can go by on this bridge to go to work or wherever they want to go. They're being blocked literally by these thousands and thousands of Muslims. And you know what they're doing? Well, there's a bunch of them, at least about a thousand of them standing in a circle with their shirts off, slapping their chest.

[00:53:21] And they're slapping their chest so hard and so long that all their chests are red, literally. And this is on, you can find this on, I believe, Gateway Pundit. And while it looks funny, it's not funny, if you know what I mean. It speaks about the deterioration of Western society.

[00:53:47] And this is part of what Khrushchev saw about how, when he said that we will bury you. But he was talking about not so much external, but internal. Because they knew, and they know even to this very day, they cannot bury us externally. Even in our weakened state, America is still too strong to be just taken down by any willy-nilly nation.

[00:54:16] However, these nations like France, Great Britain, Germany, they are self-sacrificing themselves on the evil altar of whether it's Islam, open immigration or, you know, whatever. Things that are stupid and wrong.

[00:54:32] In Germany, they're arresting people if they happen to express themselves in a manner that goes against the over-immigration of the uncivilized individuals that they're bringing into Germany. Now, Germany was famous for, you know, not just Hitler, but Germany was very famous for its cleanliness. And so were the German people.

[00:54:57] For instance, when German settlers came to America and they went into places like Columbus, Ohio in large numbers. That's one of the reasons why Columbus was always a very clean city. Because... That's all, folks. To exit stage right. Now, we ought to cut that out. We have to stop running out of time. But now that I see that my time is up, thank you so much for your time.

[00:55:24] And remember to pray for your nation, your friends, your family, and even your enemies before it's too late. My friends, treat others the way you would want to be treated. Until next time, I'm Ron Edwards. Bye now. Say your lesson to everyone.
