“RedBalloon” ~ Patriotic Job Board that Buries ‘Woke Culture’ in the Workplace ?

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: [00:00:00] With breaking news and political commentary from a public servant, serial entrepreneur, community leader, philanthropist, and American patriot, and a darn nice guy, it’s time for the Grassroots Truthcast and your host, Gene Valentino.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: Hi everybody and welcome to another episode of Gene Valentino’s Grassroots Truthcast.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: You know, we try to reach out every week and get individuals, businesses, concerns, enterprises from different walks of life to come in and share some Americana, share their mission, their life experience. We’ve had people from all sorts of walks of life. The gentleman with me today is Andrew Crapuchet.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: He is with RedBalloon. Work. Welcome and thank you for joining us,

Andrew Crapuchettes: Andrew. Thanks for having me, Gene, it’s nice to be here, and hello everyone.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: You know, folks, this is something I really [00:01:00] came to you know, Andrew’s got a employment agency, for lack of a better word, and I don’t, and I think that’s disparaging just to say it that way.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: He has, he has done something in the corporate woke work culture that I think you’ll appreciate. He’s well, how can I say it? There’s a growing movement in the American workplace right now one that’s not dominated by a political party or an ideology but a real Americans who oppose these divisive rules and the cancel culture mandates that many of you are victimized by in the workplace it’s invaded many of the American’s largest companies, And it’s now showing itself, and Andrew has come to me at a very timely point in our culture with this woke culture trying to take hold primarily in the school systems but pervasively [00:02:00] throughout, and his concept is a movement of hometown America, people who want to build their careers, raise their families, raise their families.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: and live their faith in the spirit and the legacy of what we used to call the American Dream. Andrew, welcome aboard. Share with me what I introduced you by. Any truth to anything I just said?

Andrew Crapuchettes: Yes, absolutely. You know, redballoon. work is we are America’s pro freedom job board. You can call it a non woke job board.

Andrew Crapuchettes: I like to, I prefer pro freedom job board. It’s what made America great in the first place. Meritocracy, hard work. free speech, the ability to show up, bring value to your employer, support your family and do what all of us thought was normal in America until just a few years ago. And RedBull. Works is only a couple years old now.

Andrew Crapuchettes: The reason that I started this business, and I’ve been blessed to start quite a few businesses over the years, is [00:03:00] I have my own cancel culture story where I was running a fairly large business that I’d helped start and built it up to a 50 million tech business. And lo and behold and I’d sold most of my ownership.

Andrew Crapuchettes: So I wasn’t in a position of control anymore which is another story altogether. But. My board decided that I was a little too conservative and Christian for their liking. I didn’t have the right social media profile. I wouldn’t say things about BLM or COVID or George Floyd that they wanted me to say.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And lo and behold, I found myself unemployed. And I thought, well, if this happened to me, a CEO of a company that’s growing 25 percent with a 40 percent margin, it’s going to happen to a lot of America, other Americans who are going to have to decide between their job and their values. And I don’t need you to agree with me on all of my values, I do want you to allow me to have my values, and I think that’s what is under attack in America today in a lot of this woke culture.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And so that’s why we started RedBalloon. Work, and it’s called Red Balloon because if you’ve ever been on a hot air balloon, it’s a little bit terrifying [00:04:00] it’s really fun. It’s kind of this floating sensation, it’s very quiet and it feels a lot like looking for a new job. And so people are using, and it’s also a kind of this metaphor for travel.

Andrew Crapuchettes: People are traveling to red states to red regions of blue states, and to red businesses where they can be free. The, Gene, the reason that I wanted to focus on jobs because there’s a lot of things that, you know, are broken, and you mentioned schools, other things. A job is such an important defining feature of an individual.

Andrew Crapuchettes: When you meet someone new, you might ask them, you know, what do you do? And what you’re asking them with what their job is, but the question it betrays that the job is more than just a nine to five hobby. Is it defining it’s your vocation, right? And so if we can allow people to be free at work, if they can find a job where they’re not going to have a woke worldview pushed down their throat every day.

Andrew Crapuchettes: Then my theory is they’re going to be free in other areas of their life. And that’s been playing out because I get unsolicited thank you notes from perfect strangers saying you changed the trajectory of my family or you saved my marriage because of my job, of the new job that Red Balloon helped me get.

Andrew Crapuchettes: So [00:05:00] that’s that’s what

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: we’re doing. Two questions. Do you find your footprint of your business? First of all, you’re in Moscow, Idaho, right? Yes, sir. Okay, but where’s your footprint? Is it nationwide? Do you find yourself gravitating more towards blue states versus red states? What kind of company is looking for Red

Andrew Crapuchettes: Balloon?

Andrew Crapuchettes: Yeah, that’s a great question. When I started Red Balloon, I was just going to be an Idaho job board. I just wanted to kind of, this was going to be a hobby job for me as a side note. I’m doing a housing development. I have a bunch of other things going. But I started getting notes from people all over the country saying, hey, when’s Red Balloon coming to my state or my region?

Andrew Crapuchettes: Because we need freedom too. And so it was clear to me very quickly that we needed to be in a position to serve a nationwide audience. We have two of our top states for job seekers are California and New York. I think people are looking to either move or relocate or find a remote job. And two of our top states for businesses are Florida and Texas.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And I think Arizona is a close follower on that. So we really are seeing businesses [00:06:00] from all walks of life and job seekers from all walks of life because these are just people, the central and unifying principle in all of it is freedom. People who just believe that what made America great in the first place, we should get back to.

Andrew Crapuchettes: Tech companies and construction companies and HVAC companies and media companies. We do all the hiring for Loud Earth Crowder, for instance. We work with Vivek Ramaswamy’s Strive Financial. We work with Robert Kennedy Jr. ‘s Children’s Health Defense. So all the usual suspects you anticipate in this world, we’re helping them find the type of talent that they need that’s going to build their culture and not wreck it.

Andrew Crapuchettes: Well, just

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: by those two names, you’re certainly crossing interesting political lines. So they, which really drives to an ultimate point. Well, we may have created some boundaries in the political world, the cultural tones and the moods which purvey are pervasive in the workplace, either by the employer mandates or by the employees.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: I’d like to come back to that. But, [00:07:00] I mean, we’re recording this show on November 30th and tonight’s the night that there is to be a a debate between Governor Florida Governor DeSantis and California Governor Newsom. And so who’s your customer? Do you find more customers from Florida?

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: Do you find more customers from California? Yeah,

Andrew Crapuchettes: it’s funny. I would say, I don’t know that there’s a clear winner between those two because there are a lot of people in California that still want freedom. Obviously, we have a lot of concentration in places like Orange County, where you still have a lot of conservative bastion holding up there, but You know, we’re in a weird time in America where we have this weird bifurcation, and in fact, we kind of have this tale of two economies going on right now because you have the red states, which and it’s funny, because what used to be, we would debate which Political philosophy will drive economic prosperity the best.

Andrew Crapuchettes: Well, now we have a scorecard. It’s very clear. California and New York are having trouble [00:08:00] paying their bills. People are exiting those states because of taxes and regulation, and they’re going to places like Florida. So, Florida is booming. We obviously have a lot of customers there. But this weird tale of two economies is fascinating to me because We now have a very clear scorecard on which policies, which political policies will drive the best economic response.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And it is very clear that the Republican and the conservative policies are winning. It’s interesting

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: to me, Andrew, that you can see that there’s been a cultural shift by the employers throughout the nation in backing off on some of the overreach I see they had imposed. It started just three years ago when we had this lockdown on the vaccines and the masks and the, and everything during COVID 19.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: But it continued with a tone by the employers. And in some cases, the employees, where they were pushing [00:09:00] forward a momentum of public social political opinion that arguably interfered in the workplace with one’s ability to feel free about the liberties and freedoms and the aspirations of hard work in the workplace.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: Have you seen a disconnect or a resurgence of motivation with people like yourself telling employers, hey, I’m here. Let me bring you a passionate employee that wants, that’s loyal to the, to the, to the principles of America, but at the same time is going to give you a good eight hour workday. Yeah.

Andrew Crapuchettes: Oh, absolutely.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And I, you know, I was talking about the, the scorecard effectively that we have with states. Well, you’re seeing that with businesses as well. I talked to some former employees of Silicon Valley Bank and just ask them like, what was it like working there before the whole thing collapsed? And they said, look, we had weekly microaggression training which had nothing to do with protecting people’s money to getting a return on investment [00:10:00] to our investors, to making sure we had a stable bank.

Andrew Crapuchettes: It was a, a, a woke political leftist ideology that they were pushing on a weekly basis. And, and one of the guys said, you know, the problem is we saw the credit risk coming, but we knew that if we mentioned this to anybody in the credit department, it would be considered a microaggression and we were not allowed to give that kind of input to other employees in the company.

Andrew Crapuchettes: Well, think about that for a minute. If you have a business where your main focus is not on your business, but on a pushing a political agenda that curtails innovation and communication between your employees. Of course you’re going to fail, right? And then you start to see people like most diaper companies, major diaper companies in America, support Planned Parenthood.

Andrew Crapuchettes: Well, no matter where you stand politically supporting an organization that is making So that you have fewer customers doesn’t make any sense at all. And so, and you see this with Disney, you’ve seen this with all these places that are using their political [00:11:00] ideology to trump their business sense.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And so I think we’re going to see some clear winners and losers on this front as well. And most conservative businesses, look, they’re not trying to be out. and pushing their agenda. They’re, they’re simply just trying to do their business which means we’re not going to talk about them in the media, but they’re going to win in the long term because they’re prioritizing having fiscal responsibility, blessing their customers, retaining employees, the things that make a business successful.

Andrew Crapuchettes: So I think this is going to be an interesting moment when all these things come out in the wash and a lot of these woke businesses are going to struggle to make ends meet. And the conservative businesses don’t have to push their worldview, they’re just going to live it out.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: Folks, www. redballoon. work, W O R K, you know, Andrew, one of the most tangible factors that I found on your website is for employers who don’t require the COVID injection.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: Or injections. How widespread are people [00:12:00] looking for a job without that requirement? How important of a factor is anyone coming to you and saying, Hey, I don’t want you asking me about the COVID injection, but I want to work for you.

Andrew Crapuchettes: Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, that, that was one of the big driving factors for Red Balloon early on.

Andrew Crapuchettes: We said, look, we, every employer signs a pledge. That they think the Constitution still matters and that they will protect the freedom of their current and future employees up to and including, uh, medical privacy. And, and so that was one of the big driving factors for freedom for our employers. And, I mean, Gene’s pretty straightforward.

Andrew Crapuchettes: We’re a two year old company that’s had over 1. 5 million job seekers on our site looking for freedom. So the demand for freedom is definitely there. A lot of our businesses were able to fill their positions in a hot minute, even in a tight labor market. Because they were willing to stand for the freedom of their employees.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And so, that’s obviously one of the factors when it comes to this political agenda in the [00:13:00] workplace. But it has been a really big one. And there’s a lot of employees that don’t want to be compromised on that front. Are you

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: afraid of running afoul with any of the equal employment labor laws saying, hey, what are you doing poking in this direction?

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: Why don’t you just stay in your own lane? What are you doing asking this of the employer or prompting the employee prospective employee? I mean, it, it, it, it. Are you getting any pushback because of your influence in trying to curtail that employer’s involvement in one’s personal vaccination status?

Andrew Crapuchettes: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it’s a concern. It’s something we’re going to have top of mind all the time. We do have a labor lawyer on staff. So when we’re helping our employers hire and we are doing this kind of and somewhat of a side note you’re not wrong that this is a huge risk because hiring in America today is a terrifying prospect and very litigious for many small businesses.

Andrew Crapuchettes: You think about it. If they go into an [00:14:00] interview process as a small business, If they ask the wrong questions during the interview, they might get a lawsuit because there’s a lot of regulation around what you’re allowed to ask in an interview. But if they don’t ask those questions, they might get a bad culture fit, and then they are going to get a lot of heartache, and we all know the cost of a bad hire, and then they’re going to get a lawsuit.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: Right? Well, many of these, yeah, many of the non profits are actually enjoying the role of trying to suggest you’re involved in some sort of employment discrimination.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And so, so a lot of these small businesses are terrified. So we have the advantage of because we do hiring for hundreds of employers every single month.

Andrew Crapuchettes: We’re in a position with our labor lawyer on staff that we have a very dialing process that we are reviewing the EEOC regulations all the time. But there’s a lot that you can do that most of small 0 0 Conservative businesses don’t have the time and energy to look into. There’s a lot that you can do very legally [00:15:00] to be able to understand where an employee or prospective employee is coming from.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And so that’s where we’ve actually found while we continue to have a thriving job board where people can post jobs, they can use a resume database. We have a lot of employers coming to us and saying, Hey, can you just help with the hiring process? So we actually take over that hiring process. We’ll help write a job posting.

Andrew Crapuchettes: We’ll do a comp review. And then we’ll do a first cultural interview for you. So that you know that by the time you actually talk to a prospective employee. They are a culture fit and a skill fit and you don’t have to worry about some of the things that you’ve been worried about in the past. Well, this has been a huge blessing to a lot of these businesses that we take some of that legal risk off them.

Andrew Crapuchettes: We take some of that work off them and we bring them people that are values aligned so that they can build their culture and they don’t have to worry about that bad hire that we all know can cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: There’s a power in the spirit, in the American spirit that I think you’ve captured.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: I’ve mentioned it on other podcasts. There’s a power in the spirit of the [00:16:00] American culture that I think most socialists, Marxists, naysayers, people on those other extremes that have been trying to take down and destroy America for centuries have failed because there’s a power in the spirit of this America fiber that I think you’ve latched on to.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: Give us your, how do we

Andrew Crapuchettes: reach you? Yeah, so you can go to redballoon. org and just so you know, it is org, not com because I thought com sounded too much like communist. And we don’t want communism. We want, we want work. And work is good for your soul. And, and we’re doing a lot of different projects right now.

Andrew Crapuchettes: So in addition to obviously helping people hire, helping people find jobs one of the things we’re doing is we’re working with Public Square, PublicSQ. com huge marketplace of pro freedom businesses, and we do a joint survey of all of their customers and our customers every month, and we call it the Freedom Economy Index, the FEI.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And the Freedom Economy Index is basically giving a voice [00:17:00] to all those small businesses that the media ignores, that politicians ignore, and that America that actually represent America. And we bring their opinions to the marketplace once a month and we ask about politics and the economy and their business.

Andrew Crapuchettes: Inflation taxes, etc. And it has been fascinating. So I would encourage you, if you want to go to redballoon. org slash Freedom Economy you can see the results of that survey. But we find things like 95 percent of our businesses do not believe that anyone in Washington, D. C. will ever Republican, Democrat, Congress, Senate, anybody.

Andrew Crapuchettes: Nobody, they don’t believe that any of them will ever actually balance the budget. And so there’s this massive disconnect between the businesses that are participating in this freedom economy. And the businesses or and the people in Washington, D. C. So that’s been fascinating. So we’re doing a lot of things as much as we can to represent the, the part of America that’s actually the lifeblood of our country, the [00:18:00] small businesses that are showing up every day, just seeking to be faithful and work hard.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And it’s been really fun to be part of that. We’re definitely

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: going to have to have a follow up with you. On my website GeneValentino. com, I have a port of entry where you can go to Gene’s second Bill of Rights. These are about 11 more amendments I proposed to the United States Constitution for the very reason you just said, Andrew, the fact that it’s not likely Congress will pass them.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: A balanced budget, term limits. A definition of who’s an American citizen and how you become one. One nationalized day of voting per year. Make it a legal paid holiday for all I care. But no three months of voting in advance stuff. Absentee ballots only for employees that are Overseas and working with our [00:19:00] government overseas and simply can’t get to a ballot box at home.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: These are issues that really are the founding principles of liberty and freedom, which you espouse and are taking on in your specific niche. We’re talking with Andrew Krapashe of RedBalloon. Work. Folks, we’re going to take a break right now. We’ll be back right after this with more with Andrew and RedBalloon. Work.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: Welcome back to Grassroots Truthcast. We’re here with Andrew Kraposhe from RedBalloon.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: Work. Well, it’s Red Balloon, the company in Moscow, Idaho, and the website is www. RedBalloon. Work. And Andrew, we were talking just before the break about About how, you know, you’re, I hate to say you’re in the employment business because you’re more than that. I get it. But for the searcher or the people looking they would find you under what?

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: Employment [00:21:00] agency services?

Andrew Crapuchettes: Yeah, I mean, we, we, I’ll be honest, we started as a traditional job board, a job board with a thesis around freedom. So if you think about the big job boards out there, Indeed or ZipRecruit or Monster. com, which you might be familiar with, we’re going to have a lot of the same functionality, but we have all of our employers sign a pledge that they actually believe the constitution still matters and they’re going to protect the freedom of their current and future employees.

Andrew Crapuchettes: But we also have the employees sign a pledge and that pledge is that they’re going to show up to work, they’re going to work hard and they’re not going to be a whiner. And it’s amazing if you’re an employer out there, think about your best employees and they’re probably not whiners. And so if you want to find the type of people that are going to build your business that’s, you’re going to find them on redballoon.

Andrew Crapuchettes: work. And we have tens of thousands of people every single week on the site looking for jobs at Companies that will respect their freedom. There’s a lot of demand for this right now. And so, so we have that traditional job board side of the business where you can post a job. It’s free for job seekers. And [00:22:00] there’s a little bit of a cost for employers who want to post jobs.

Andrew Crapuchettes: We also have a resume database that is growing by over a thousand a week of people who are saying, you know what, I’m going to put in all my information. I’m going to put in my resume and say, I want to participate in this freedom economy. I want to find a job where I can be free because it’s good for my family.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And so there’s that side of the business. But then I mentioned before the break, We also do what we call Red Balloon Recruiter, where we will actually take on a position for you. We’ll help write that job posting, we’ll do a comp review, we’ll actually source and screen candidates for you, we’ll do a first cultural interview, we’ll give you weekly market feedback on what people are saying about your job, and instead of charging what a recruiter might charge, which is 20 or 40 or way more.

Andrew Crapuchettes: We charge a flat 4, 500 for us to take over the hiring process for a specific position. And we’re now doing this with many dozens of businesses. And I had a small Christian radio station just tell me, man, it was such an answer to prayer to have you guys take [00:23:00] this over. Because we all know if you get someone who’s a bad culture fit, especially inside of a small business, it will have a disproportionate impact on your ability to succeed.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And your joy at work. And so, being able to just hand that off for only 4, 500 and we’re able to do it for so cheap because we’re a job board. And so, we’re at the scale and we have the systems and the process necessary to be able to give you a, a white glove recruiter process for often a tenth of the price of a traditional outsourced corporate recruiter.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: This woke culture which invaded many of the large companies in this nation that you have been in touch with have you seen a a retraction or them pulling back on that is it because of folks like you and the Americana that you present is there, is there a rebound going on that we probably don’t talk enough about?

Andrew Crapuchettes: Yeah, I think there is. I think the pendulum is starting to swing back. I’m sure that RedBalloon. Work is part of that, Public Square. You look at [00:24:00] Revere Pay and Old Glory Bank. You see this whole series of businesses that will provide the the freedom alternative to the woke culture that’s out there right now.

Andrew Crapuchettes: That’s a big part of it. What we saw with Budweiser and Target. And Disney, where conservatives are saying, why am I spending my money on people who hate me so much? That’s going to be a big part of it. And a lot of people are realizing, and then when the Supreme Court says that all the affirmative action that’s happening in our universities is unconstitutional.

Andrew Crapuchettes: Well, unfortunately, the DEI policies at corporations look a lot like those affirmative action. And so I think corporations are going look, I don’t want to be on the wrong side of history. I don’t want to be the last one espousing a worldview that’s bad for my business, that’s bad for America and that is unconstitutional.

Andrew Crapuchettes: And so we are seeing DEI officers, their are actually, there’s a significant rise of them looking for jobs because corporations are realizing that if you have uncertain [00:25:00] economic times, you don’t want to be spending your time and money on something that has nothing to do with your business. And so I do think that there’s a swing back to the right on all of this.

Andrew Crapuchettes: Yeah,

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: I would agree with you and I Bob Iger from Disney Elon Musk was on a show recently where he was talking to his host and saying, I won’t use the term, but F you Bob Iger at Disney, if you think I’m going to be controlled by you. And your, and your crazy ideologies, and you’re going to move me because you’re going to pull some advertising money away from me, is the essence of what’s been driving some of the media up to now, which has in a very perverse way, taken us down these days.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: Pathways that are now backfiring nationwide. And I might add, I want to compliment you publicly and let you know how proud I am of you and your company. You’re one of the many spokes in the wheel that are moving the mountain as they say, and that’s no easy [00:26:00] task. America was hard to create and it’s going to be hard to destroy.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: And with people like you. I’m very proud of what you’re doing. You know, it’s really funny. Why is it that an employment agency or a job source entity like yours has to be in the position of seeking an agreement from an employee, Hey, you’re going to be a good American and work hard. And then turn to the employer and say, Hey, Mr.

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: Employer, you’re not going to nail this employee with a bunch of crap ideology that has nothing to do with the productivity of what you’re selling, whether it’s a product for the sale of a service or, or the sale of a product you, you, you have no right to impose your ideology. What’s wrong with our culture that we got to a point where somehow the workplace had to be controlled?

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: By ideology. The media is at the top of the list since they were the ones most easily influenced, by the way, not only by a woke culture, [00:27:00] but subversively by government itself. Government was using the media to control the elections in 2020 and put out a false narrative. That they succeeded at doing and and, and that, that then, that then trickles down to all of the sponsors, the the corporations that, and the employees of those media entities, and all of a sudden from the grassroots, from a guy like you coming up the ranks, that’s why I like the name of this, this podcast, a guy like you coming up through the ranks are, are, are doing a 180 with the culture and saying, Hey, you Americans, have you forgotten what we’re all about?

GrassRoots TruthCast INTRO Video plus Narration with your friend and host Gene Valentino: And I’m, I commend you for that. And that’s my speech. I wanted to get that in there before we wrap it up. Any, we’re we’re approaching the deadline on your timeline here. Yeah. Any final thoughts on on red Balloon? Yeah. Where you’re going in the future?

Andrew Crapuchettes: Yeah, so, again, [00:28:00] RedBalloon. Work, you can also find us on all the social media channels at RedBalloonWork and, and look my encouragement to everyone is you kind of have two options.

Andrew Crapuchettes: There’s a lot of craziness going on in the world, whether it’s Israel and Ukraine and D. C., there’s lots of craziness going on in the world, and your options are sit on the couch, watch Fox News, and wring your hands, RedBalloonWork. com. Or get off the couch and go do something. And that would be my encouragement to you.
