He’s learning to fight with all his might and not getting much help from the GOP, so listen in to learn about him and how you can help him make a difference! We’re also talking about the first fusion reaction that produced more energy than it took to start the reaction – we’re on the threshold of an emissions-free energy source – amazing! All of this and more on today’s broadcast!

Episode Transcript

Lance: Hey, this is going to be a very interesting broadcasting. I’ve had Leon Bnjamin. This and the crazy thing is this guy ran for congress up in Virginia and then he lost and the guy is died. He died like a week later. They should have notified everyone that he was on his deathbed when the election happened but oh no the Democrats ran the guy anyway. So now it’s kind of like the movie El Sid with Charlton Heston where he rides out on a horse and he’s not even alive. Well, they put their candidate out there and now he’s deceased. God bless and rest his soul, etcetera but here’s the deal, the elections open again and this guy, Leon Bnjamin, who was denied, who lost the election is back in. And he’s a brother and he’s a leader in Virginia. 

I want you to meet him. Also, we’re going to be talking about this nuclear fusion breakthrough. I don’t even know if you know this yet but we’re going to the millennium technology. It’s like there’s in the midst of all the chaos, God is giving to science the ability to tap into clean energy that can be fossil fuel free. I mean, it’s a powerful idea but before we go anywhere, I want to talk about Legacy Box. This is a wild idea. I got all this film that Annabelle has of the kids and then we have film of us. We had this eight-millimeter film of us as kids growing up. Our parents took.

Now, I don’t know if you remember this but when our parents used to have these lights they used to hold up and it was like so bright. It’s hilarious. If you get pictures of you as a kid, your kids love seeing you a teenager and you know what? You could take all that dried out Brittle Film audio. All kinds of tapes. You’ve got send it to them. Put it in a box legacy box and you know what they’ll do? They’ll digitize it and send it back to you, so you have a permanent record to give to your children of the legacy of your life, your children’s life. This is ingenious. Want you go to Lancewallnau.com/LegacyBox. Perfect gift. For a spouse to give to the husband to give to a wife, wife to give to a husband. Perfect gift for a kid to give to the parent. Legacy Box. Capture the memories of a lifetime before they are lost. Lancewallnau.com/LegacyBox. Let’s go into the program.

Welcome, welcome, welcome everyone across the Foody Place of America. This is a great day. It’s a great time to be alive. I hear people always complaining about situation. Listen, man. Let me tell you a little word I heard from TD Jakes once. He said, take a look at your picture of you right now. You say, look how old I’m getting. Let me tell you something. You are right now the youngest you’re ever going to look. 20 years from now, you’re going to look back at this picture and say, look how young I was 20 years ago. You are as young as you’re ever going to be and this is the best time to be you. So, I’m going to be celebrating the Christmas, this year in America like never before. I’m not going to focus on what’s not working, I’m going to focus on what’s being set back in place and what’s being recovered. Because God hasn’t lifted his hand off of his people, he’s in the business of glorifying himself. Listen, I’ve got a friend of mine today. Talk about interesting stories just when you think it’s all over God can come back and reopen the door.

I have Leon Bnjamin who happens to be a pastor but also how as I into him. He happens to be a man who understands political office. Leon, let’s talk to our people. We got eight hundred thousand folks a month that download this broadcast. I hope that all 800,000 get to meet you.

Leon Bnjamin: Yes.

Lance: Tell us about what you’re doing in the political mountain right now.

Leon Bnjamin: Right now, I’m running for congress again in a special election and my opponent passed away about a week ago or so.

Lance: And did he win?

Leon Bnjamin: Well, the numbers did not work out in my favor.

Lance: Okay. Alright. So, your opponent is, so anyway so he he’s gone.

Leon Bnjamin: He’s gone.

Lance: He’s gone. And now it’s coming what’s the protocol for this? They have to do?

Leon Bnjamin: They have to do a special election. And the governor just announced a special election for Virginia for that US House of Representatives. 4th Congressional District.

Lance: 4th and what part of Virginia would that be?

Leon Bnjamin: This is Richmond. All of Richmond. Most of Henrico. Most of Chesterfield that it goes into Petersburg, Colonial Heights goes into Dinwiddie, Prince George, Hopewell, then it goes down to Sussex, Surrey, then it branches off over into Brunswick County and then back over into Emporia Greensville down to the North Carolina border.

Lance: So, that’s a lot of territory.

Leon Bnjamin: It’s a lot of territory. A lot of great people in Virginia’s fourth.

Lance: I want everyone in this audience who knows somebody in one of those areas in Virginia. I mean I was just sharing with Leon. My father and my grandfather both came grew up in Richmond, Virginia. I know Richmond Virginia even though he says he reminds me I’m a northerner because I was born in New York and he says Southern, you’re a northerner you always will be spoke with the Southern accent. But Leon I am so excited about this. I want everyone that’s in those areas to know how to track with what you’re doing. Give your website just so?

Leon Bnjamin: The website is Bnjamin, the number four, the number four congress.com. So,Bnjamin4Congress.com”. The number 4.

Lance: Alright, if you’re watching now, it’s we got it up there in this. You can see it. So, tell,how to first of all take me back to the beginning how is it that you knew you had to run? What did you learn as a candidate running for those out there? I mean I’ve got friends that run for congress it ain’t no easy thing obviously. Tell us about the journey?

Leon Bnjamin: Well, it’s about fighting for what you believe is right and again this special election is February 21st, 2023 that’s when it’s happening and there’s going to be a nominee selection going on sometime this week.

Lance: Okay.

Leon Bnjamin: Right before Christmas is going to be a nomination.

Lance: How does that happen? How do they determine?

Leon Bnjamin: The party has to call a special type of nominee selection like a in-house canvas.They call it a primary an in-house primary where they select. If someone’s going to run against me. Now if no one runs against me, then I’ll be the sole person going into what we call the general election and the general or special elections going to happen.

Lance: Who is the head of the Republican Party in Virginia?

Leon Bnjamin: Well, right now Rich Anderson is the head of the Republican.

Lance: So, people contacted him and said, hey, we’re happy about.

Leon Bnjamin: Happy about Leon. Yeah.

Lance: That’s a good thing, right?

Leon Bnjamin: It’s a great thing.

Lance: So, we’re going to get that email address up there. You watch how this little army of the Bengal Lancers. They’re all Lance, Lance people out there. Watch what happens. We get a thousand of them. He’ll go who the heck is these people. Just say, you’re watching this closely and excited about Leon Bnjamin‘s election.

Leon Bnjamin: It’s just totally a God thing. I’m going to give all the glory to God, but the fight was learning. I ran in 2020. I fought in 2020. I fought in 2022. I call it learning how to fight with all your might and not really getting a whole lot of help from the party per se.

Lance: The party didn’t help you?

Leon Bnjamin: My goodness. This is all grassroots. This was a lot of small donations, grassroots, and my goodness.

Lance: I’m disappointed in the Republican Party. I’m not shocked, but I’m disappointed.

Leon Bnjamin: Yeah, I’m hoping that they will understand this will be the only election going on around the nation. This special election.

Lance: It’s not like we have a large bank account in congress folks, not like we’re working off of a big margin here. Everyone counts. This should be getting as much attention as Hershel Walker as far as I’m concerned.

Leon Bnjamin: Oh, my goodness.

Lance: Give one tenth of the juice.

Leon Bnjamin: My goodness. It’s going to be awesome. This seat of course, we have right now the majority in the house 222 seats. This will be seat 223 in 2023.

Lance: Come on.

Leon Bnjamin: The numbers just don’t work out like this.

Lance: 223 in 2023. I love that. So, what are you going to do? Alright so now we love you. We know you and I’ve known you as a man of integrity for years. I’m excited about what you represent. Talk to me about what your vision is as a congressman.

Leon Bnjamin: Well, what we have to do is get the power back to the people. It’s simple. A rising tide raises all ships. I’m being a former Democrat. JFK coined that phrase. When you help everybody and I believe right now, what I see is the ability now to redistribute the wealth to the Commonwealth of Virginia in the fourth congressional district. So, we’re talking about our educational system. Giving our children a chance and opportunity to learn and to be educated in not the school that they’re failing in but the school of their choice and also backing the parents. I think the parents this is something that I know worked very well in the governance race and thank God for Governor Glenn Younkin who has supported us and he endorsed me in the 2022 elections. I’m telling he ran on parental rights. Meaning that the parents ought to have a say so in the curriculum.

Lance: And I could tell you feel strongly about that. Feel free to go out and address the folks that are potentially go be voting, and listen some of our people might send this clip because we’re going to make it so they can send it to Virginia.

Leon Bnjamin: Wow, look parental rights is all important parents ought to have a say so in the curriculums being taught their children. They ought to have to be able to remove books off the shelves that that do not align with the values and the precepts and the concepts that they teach at home. Transgenderism should not be taught to young little children. They don’t need to be seeing positions. I don’t mean to get vote or anything, but they don’t need to be seeing innuendos and suggestions of how to have sex at that age. We also have to raise up the tide of the economy. So,we’re raising the tide of the education raising up the tide of the economy. We have to bring this inflation down and in the congress which holds the purse. We have the ability to stop these high taxes that is coming from the Biden administration. We have the ability to low the crazy spending. We have we have the ability to curtail it and allow the money to go back into the hands of the people who work hard. This is amazing.

Lance: Well, how many people would be voting, do you think in this?

Leon Bnjamin: I believe it’s going to be thousands of people that are going to get out to vote. I believe that the people are awakened now. I think this is an opportunity to really not just get people excited about change but actually now see the whole vision of what would happen if this former Democrat who is now a Republican who represents all people. I mean half my family is Democrat. I’m not going to hate my mom. I’m not going to hate my cousins and all of that.

Lance: Right.

Leon Bnjamin: My church is half Democrat. I’ve been pastoring for 20 years. No, this is understanding about who is best for leadership right now. Not the game of politics.

Lance: Yeah.

Leon Bnjamin: But the actual living and being able to be an example for everyone and I think this is such a perfect storm. I mean it’s just coming. It’s coming. It’s coming.

Lance: And that’s right. And having that strong Democrat sensitivity I think makes you the right kind of Republican because you can represent all aspects of the community.

Leon Bnjamin: Look, I grew up in the hood. I know what it’s like. I grew up in a area called Fairfield Court. I grew up in the Lothian Village. These are all places that those in Richmond know what I’m talking about. I grew up in Ruffin Road. I used to fight at the bus stop every day. I had to fight to go to school.

Lance: Wow.

Leon Bnjamin: And I didn’t know I was poor. So, you grew up, you played, you went to play basketball. I remember going and I wouldn’t do that now but I used to walk to a school when I was living in Midlothian Village, Westover Hills to go play basketball. That was a long walk but as a child, you don’t think it’s a long way because you’re excited about going to go play basketball. So, you don’t think about those things but I grew up in the neighborhoods. I grew up in the communities. I met my wife in high school, didn’t know I was going to marry her but came back after the war. I’m a veteran and came back after Desert Shield Desert Storm back in 1991 and was in church and my wife said what literally she looked at me saying like what are you doing here last time I seen you was a heathen.

Lance: It got changed that much.

Leon Bnjamin: Yeah, I have to admit. I got saved in Jetta Saudi Arabia right in the desert I had my own Red Sea moment so to speak.

Lance: Wow.

Leon Bnjamin: And came back to the States and end up coming back to Virginia saw my wife in October and I tell everybody being a pastor of 20 years don’t do what we did. But October, I saw her and by December we eloped and now we’ve been married now coming up on this December 20th, 31 years.

Lance: Well, that’s the proof is in the pudding I must have heard God do that fast. I have to talk to you sometime about your conversion experience. Let me stop right now and just say once again the website is “Bnjamin4congress.com”. Those of you that are listening BNJAMIN4congress.com and you guys and listen you need to send some support to him. You can help him financially. He’s going to, these are all costly and they’re personal, they’re emotional, they’re spiritual and they’re financial prices people pay to answer the call of God. This is one time you could do something that can make a massive difference and we’re going to have you back on and celebrate the results pastor.

Leon Bnjamin: Yeah, look I appreciate you so much. I just enjoy every time I see you. I love the 7 Mountains. You just don’t know what that’s done for me over the last 15 years just dealing with understanding the power of being at the tops of the mountains according to Isaiah 2 & 2 in Revelations 5 and 12. I just love how you deal with it.

Lance: And it shall come to pass. Isaiah says, and in the end times in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord should be established at the top of the mountains. And so, God‘s vision is that his glory would be preeminent that Christ would be lifted up. And the only way that can as if his people are lifted up because the church is made up of people. It’s not a building. So somehow his people are going to have to go to the top of the mountain and let people know that Christ is real. So, looking forward to having you back and God bless you.

Leon Bnjamin: God bless you, Lance.

Break: Friends the news headlines prove only one thing and that is that the world is actually a very fragile place right now. And that means the time to prepare is now for more instability. So let me ask you. Do you have enough emergency food on hand to get you through a severe shortage? Most people actually don’t. That’s why I recommend the My Patriots supply and right now at Lancewallnau.com/Patriot. You could save $150 off of a vital 3-month emergency food kit. That’s a kit that actually contains a whole lot of different kinds of meals. They’re actually tasty. They got 2000 calories a day in them and we’re talking about breakfast and lunch and dinner and a combination of different meals. That’s going to be Lancewallnau.com/Patriots”.Save your $150. Get a hold of the 3-month food supply and do it now. Don’t be a victim. Don’t live at the last minute and decide that you’re going to do it when they don’t have the product. But take action Lancewallnau.com/Patriot”. You’ll be glad you did.

Lance: Welcome, it is, actually it’s the Christmas getting down the countdown to Christmas only give me the day. Because I’m so shocked to wake up today and find out that it’s only like what couple of shopping days till Christmas. I’m very disappointed by this Carl. I have my son with me.

Carl: It’s a couple of full days. I mean if you choose to shop during those full days. That’s great.

Lance: Yeah, how is it out there you out there shopping at all myself?

Carl: Yeah. a little bit boots on the ground. Trying to support the local vendors instead of just Jeffrey Bezos. No offense to those of you who just shop Amazon. I get it it’s dangerous world out there, you should stay home.

Lance: No, they shouldn’t. They should support the of vendors. Hey, you gave me some news today that I want to be able to cover. It’s the science news today. You want to tell me what’s happening?

Carl: Absolutely. So, not too long ago, is this my camera or am I in the sky? That one’s mine.Awesome. So, not too long ago, scientists were able to create nuclear fusion which is basically the idea there being that we are on our way to clean energy. The facility that made it possible that actually did this shot 192 lasers at a I believe is a diamond and we’re able to create 1.5 time, not 1.5 times but to the power of 1.5 the amount of energy that went into it came out of it. So, there’s a couple of things I would like to read from this particular article by Kenneth Chang of the New York Times. Say what you will about them. This is some good news.

The result announced on Tuesday is the first fusion reaction in a laboratory setting that actually produced more energy than it took to start the reaction. In a brief moment lasting less than 100 trillion of a second, 2.05 mega jewels of energy roughly the equivalent of a pound of TNT bombarded the hydrogen pellet. It’s this little tiny BB size thing that they were shooting at.Outflowed a flood of neutron particles, the product of fusion which carried about three mega jewels of energy a factor of 1.5 in energy gain. So, a factor means its exponential growth, right. 1.2. Let’s see this cross the threshold that laser fusion scientist call ignition the dividing where the energy generated by fusion equals the energy of the incoming lasers that start the reaction. So basically they were able to fire these lasers at a singular point and then have that singular point eject energy that they were able to actually capture or monitor and this happened about a week ago last Tuesday.

Lance: All we need to do is set off the equivalent of 192 lasers or one nuclear bomb inunderneath each electric plant, and we can produce a second’s worth of energy. But I’m assume the breakthrough here is that if it’s like going back in time. If you can go back in time even a second, then you can go back in time an hour and they’ve just proven that you can actually generate more energy than it takes to create energy.

Carl: Yes, I don’t understand the time reference.

Lance: No, I’m saying because it’s a very small. Like what you read was a nanosecond of fusion of laser explosion and it produced 1.5 times much energy that’s a very small sample point.

Carl: Power of 1.5. Yeah.

Lance: How you going to make that serve a practical purpose for an hour or 2 hours?

Carl: Well, the fact that we were able to do it in a laboratory setting is really.

Lance: That was my point about time travel. Even if it’s only a fraction of a second, the fact that you just broke the rule means it’s just a matter of scalability. You could do it again.

Carl: Okay. Yeah. Sure.

Lance: Did you guys at home follow my analogy? Like I’m an older guy, right? So, do you catch what I was trying to say? Do you have challenge with your children? Finding the metaphors, the analogies that can link generations across the great technological divide of space and time in the spacetime continuum. But is that pretty much the essence? So, how long will this take do you think before we’re able to get a practical benefit out of the this the 192 lasers?

Carl: I am of the opinion that we already have a practical benefit. The fact that we are able to create this in a laboratory setting means that it can be replicated it can be done again. And as technology advances as our tactics advance, we’re going to be able to replicate this on a larger and larger scale. It will be scalable. So, another aspect or another point inside of the article is fusion would be essentially an emissions free source of power and would help reduce the need for power burning coal and natural gas which pumps billions of tons of planet warming carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year.

Lance: Now, we see why the New York Times is covering it because it’s potentially an environmental success story.

Carl: Absolutely. Well, even what’s that gentleman’s name? He ran for governor. California. He has a show. Sorry.

Lance: It’s all about Brown. He has a show. Okay, keep going.

Carl: No. One of the guys that was Running for governor. He has a show I think on Daily Wire but he’s actually very much pro nuclear and it’s because

Lance: Is it Larry Elder?

Carl: Larry Elder. Yes. So, I’m saying it’s not just a strictly political talking point that we should be good stewards of the environment, right? We should actually be looking into these things that are cleaner for our future generations.

Lance: Absolutely.

Carl: Yeah. So, to say well this is why the New York Times is saying it because it feeds their narrative. It’s like well, I think it’s a narrative we can all kind of get back.

Lance: Well, no it’s true. I mean I’m saying that without cynicism and at the same time being very sarcastic because I’m saying.

Carl: No, cynicism just a little sarcasm.

Lance: Because the New York Times not to say to be negative it means it checks off the right boxes for the New York Times and I’m looking to see well what’s the benefit there. It’s environmental and I and sometimes you can have a winwin.

Carl: Yeah, absolutely.

Lance: I mean I’m all for saving the planet I’m not for like oh, go, we blow up a planet isn’t that great we beat the New York Times. I like to see a winwin and I see how that one is a win. Now not to open a bag of problems. But my problem with the environmental lobby is that I distrust the way in which the scientists are bought off to produce reports that coincide with the engines of finance. Those are people that make money. So, my whole point is that.

Carl: Yeah.

Lance: I believe there’s that the environmental lobby. It’s kind of like the green lobby. I have grown to distrust big government. I’ve grown to distrust the financial incentives for getting scientist to write what they what you want to hear. I mean it’s kind of like they couldn’t find anything against smoking until suddenly it was politically incorrect to smoke. Then all of a sudden, the data was coming out instead of it being good for you. It’s actually bad for you. So,my problem is a lot of the stuff that’s driven by the green lobby is dangerous. Not to mention they shut down nuclear in Germany. They’re so radical that they shoot, they won’t, this didn’t even consider what you just said a breakthrough. To them that’s still nuclear They don’t want to go there at all. I don’t know what their alternative is.

Carl: I thought after they well maybe I’m misinformed on the Germany and nuclear topic because I thought they were trying to go green and, in their efforts, to go green. They ended up shutting down a lot of their coal refineries. They didn’t have enough energy to sustain that so they had to turn them back on thus generating even more emissions than they would have if they had just let it running. So maybe I’m mistaken on that story. Well, they were the Germany. Maybe it was different.

Lance: Germany actually they shut down the nuclear because they thought nuclear was an environmental risk.

Carl: Okay.

Lance: So not having any plan after solar and air and wind. They found that they were it was inadequate to support the infrastructure. So, and then with the Nordic pipeline shutdown with Russia that’s created a crisis which they’re still trying to work the way out of. But thank you Carl for scientists achieved nuclear fusion breakthrough with blast of 192 lasers. We’re on our way to clean energy and I do think nuclear fusion and its management is almost like a secret technology of the future.

Carl: Yeah, I think so. I mean, I think we’re really close to actually being able to harness this on a scale of a level and even if that looks like two decades out, I think that’s fresh. I think that’s really true.

Lance: Well, I’m in total agreement with you. I’m glad to hear that report. Thanks for bringing to my attention. Speaking of nuclear, are you guys prepared for what some of the prophets are saying so that people are saying about 2023. I don’t want to shiver your timbers but it looks to me like we could be heading for one of the most radical recessions slash almost borderline depressions in America’s history. We don’t have a game plan to get out of it. Government is fueling the fire with irresponsible spending. It’s almost as you’d almost think that the collapse of the United States was part of somebody’s design the way they managed the economy. Over 35% of small businesses claim in the last 60 days they cannot pay rent. Imagine what’s going to happen to the franchise to the 70% of the self-employed Americans who actually live-in small businesses when 35 or 40% of them can’t pay to stay open.

You’re looking at some very serious developments, but I want to tell you something over and over again I’m saying to people go to Lancewallnau.com//Birch and take whatever retirement,whatever wealth, whatever money you have consider take a look at your IRA and putting it into gold and silver. I’m reminded of the prophet Haggai that said in the day when God shakes everything that could be shake in heaven and earth. The silver is mine and the gold is mine and God says, he is building his temple, his house, his kingdom even in the midst of shaking. I believe that the house God‘s building is a house made of living stones. It’s you and me. It’s the body of Christ.

So, go to Lancewallnau.com/BIRCH and see why me and a bunch of other people are taking a very serious look at solar and gold and various other stable commodities that prop are going to be anchored in reality while Washington is living in economic fantasy land. You’re going to be able to come through this and I believe you’re going to survive and thrive. Lancewallnau.com/Birch. You don’t want to miss it tomorrow. It’s going to be powerful. This is Lance Wallnau signing off and saying, I believe our best days are yet ahead. God bless you.
