Key Takeaways

Episode Transcript
Today's podcast, it's a great great show. Lots of, lots of things that you can really take to the bank here and apply in your own life. Today is the fourth day of Hanukkah, and we haven't talked about Hanukkah at all. But it's the miracle of life, lights. But I I think it's more than that, especially today, the fourth day of Hanukkah. You know, I'm not a rabbi. I don't try to play one, and I don't know what the fourth night actually means. But I'll tell you what it means to me, and what it should mean to all of us, coming up on today's show. Also, Chip Roy is on the podcast. Chip is talking about an end to all immigration, a pause in all immigration. I can't believe the some of the stuff that's in his bill. Crazy things like we shouldn't allow terrorists in. If you are a proponent of Sharia law, you shouldn't be allowed in. I mean, crazy stuff that you can't believe we actually have to say out loud. And why in the world would Susie Wiles be dumb enough? Because she's not dumb. She's really smart. Why would she say what she said in the Vanity Fair article? All that and so much more on the podcast. Here it is. Let me tell you about Burna Launcher. People who don't wanna live in fear, they just, you know, they wanna know they have some options. And if something goes wrong, you're not helpless. You know? You're not waiting on luck. You're not depending on somebody else to arrive on time. That's why I like the burn a launcher. The burn is a non lethal self defense tool that is legal in all 50 states. You don't have to have a permit. You just have to be over 18. It fires chemical in, irritant projectiles that can stop an attacker dead in his tracks from a safe distance, giving you real protection without escalating the deadly force. And now you can choose between the standard burner and the new compact launcher, which is lighter and smaller. You can carry it every day. I can carry it in my back. You can carry it in a backpack. You can carry it in your purse, whatever. It's not aggression. It's not paranoia. It's just being safe. Berna, byrna.com/glen learn more or try before you buy at a Sportsman's Warehouse near you.
