    He was at Brandt Centre in Regina Friday evening. We attended. Just wondered if anyone else attended.

          He doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would let the Bastards grind him down.

            My take - he must have been gagged. He had a packed house, he could have started a Western revolution right then and there. Instead, he quoted scripture after scripture from the bible, repeating much of it. The theme was supposed to be life-altering, inspirational. He talked about having a vision for the future, focusing on it and a great deal of emphasis on paying attention in order to follow through with your goals, ho - hum. The crowd was anticipating evangelical fury but got anything but. We both looked at each other after and said, “ Some one read him the riot act, he must have been threatened”. Only supposition, maybe Blackpowder has a better description as, “ burnt-out”.

              Maybe the message was subliminal.
              Inspiring the Western revolution you mentioned without even addressing it. Covert. Alluding to it with outright saying it...

                Strikes me as having had a nervous breakdown. Not quite as intelligent as given credit for. Simplistic theories overwrapped and over thought.
                Repeating script.
                Too bad for audience.
                Again, psychologists shouldn't write books.
                Days as an influencer numbered.

                  I believe you got what was advertised.

                  He has been advertising his tour on the podcast, and it sounded to me like it was going to be all about scripture.
                  That topic didn't interest me, so I had no interest in attending.

                    My wife and I went and enjoyed it. We also went to the meet and greet after and found him very personable/friendly. He took 4-5 more questions and gave thoughtful answers.

                    Having said that we could have started another freedom convoy that night with just a little push from him and we didn’t get that.
