Calling us from South Florida, Palm Beach County area, we have Dean Simpson on the phone. Dean is retired NYPD.

He is also an author of two books, number one, the Blue Pond, a memoir of an NYPD foot soldier, and second is Godless versus Liberty, the radical left's quest to destroy America's Judeo-Christian Foundation. Dean, thanks so much being guests from the show. Very much, appreciate it. John Jay, thank you for having me. I really appreciate this opportunity to speak with you today. Well, I'm glad you are, because we're going to talk about something that is tough to talk about. I know a little bit of Dean's story. I don't know the details, so a lot of ways I'm going to talk about is as much a surprise to me as it is to you listening. You were retired from NYPD. How long were you on the job? I was on the job just a little over seven years. Okay, gotcha. And I did look at your story a little bit, and our stories are remarkably similar, but I don't want to be a spoiler.

I want to go into, you're on the job, you come from a police family, you had all the ideology I did.
