Welcome to the Live Shoot podcast. My name is Jeff Dole, and in this podcast we talk about all things related to Second Amendment, other things going on in the news, or something from my personal life. So welcome, welcome, welcome. In the late 1940s, there was a businessman named Henning Prentice. And Henning Prentice was the president of the Armstrong Court Company and. During his time, Henning notice there was a pattern in history that developed, and it was kind of a pattern where things went from bondage to liberty and back to bondage. And this pattern was called the apprentice cycle. And he used it in a variety of speeches and essays. And in this, this is what it says, and this is quote from bondage. To spiritual faith. From spiritual faith to courage. From courage to freedom, from freedom to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to fear, from fear to dependency, and from dependency back to bondage. Once more. So if you, if you know, if I look at these stages, I think we are somewhere right now between apathy and fear and we're well on our way to dependency and bondage. And the left, as they say, never lets a crisis go to waste. And this is why, because these crisis can move you along this continuum of the cycle and eventually gets you into bondage, which is what their ultimate goal is to be able to control us. So 2020, what happened? Crisis and what happened? We moved and actually I think we moved from probably apathy, complacency, or apathy to fear, and that's what the left was, was trying to do. They were putting these controls, spreading stories, creating a sense of fear. Where are we now? We're on the brink of war with Russia. We have Chinese spy balloons going across our nation. We have Russian fighters invading our airspace trained ailments, spreading deadly gases and our favorite mass shootings. And I haven't mentioned that, that along with these topics, there's their favorite fear mongering topics of. Climate change and racism. And this chaos is what the left wants. Now let's look at the, unfortunate shooting at Ma Michigan State. I don't wanna diminish any of it but cuz it was a very serious manner. But we have, we've, that story has been all over the press, but how much of the. In the press, have you heard about the armed Michigan tow truck truck driver who prevented an armed robbery, or the armed man in Michigan who shot and prevented a carjacking? They don't want to present pres. The media doesn't wanna present anything positive as it pertains to. Firearms. And when you look at the Michigan State shooting, the shooter was already known by law enforcement and this is a pattern we've seen over and over and over again. And he had, cuz he had been arrested for criminal possession of a firearm, but left his prosecutor reduced the charge to where it was not a felony. The thus allowed him to be able to possess firearms and purchase em in the future. George so is backing all of these leftists, easy on crime district attorneys and prosecutors so he can create chaos. Chaos leads to fear, dependency and bondage, and that is where they wanna go, but we will prevail. We have no choice. So we need to keep fighting for our Second Amendment rights because in armed, Can't be put into bondage. We need to keep spreading the truth. Like with things like this podcast and others shows like Tucker Carson Damn Myo, Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, we need to shine a light on what they're trying to do and the deceit in how they're trying to manipulate us because light is the best disinfectant. So we have to keep fighting. Fight for Second Amendment rights. What? Look at the media through those lenses. What are they trying? What is their motive? What are they trying to do? They're trying to spread fear to keep, create dependency and eventually move us into bondage because if there's fear, and we want to then become more dependent on the government to protect us. And the government was not designed to protect us. It was designed to protect the nation to a degree, but we are our own protectors, and that is why the second Amendment is so important, and that's why. You know, as founding fathers, they're writing first thing. They said, I'm gonna let these people say what they want. And then he said, if they're gonna do that, they need to be armed. And so that is why the second Amendment is so important. Just some thoughts I had on this. As I look at what, just the news and of the day and how it just feels so crazy and what they're trying to do. They're trying to keep us in fear, trying to suck away our faith. We can't allow it to happen. So go out, spread the word, share this podcast and stay positive and know that we will prevail. Thank you.
