Hey, everyone. This is Heidi St. John. Thanks for tuning in today. You guys have found me right here at my little corner of the internet. This is the Heidi St. John podcast. And today my guest is Dr. Mark Sherwood. We are going to spend the next 40 minutes or so answering listener questions. It's going to be straight fire. Stick around. I think you're going to be encouraged.

So my friend, Dr. Mark, welcome back to the show.

It's good to see you.

Yeah, it's good to see you too.

You're doing okay?

You know what?

I'm doing pretty good, considering that the world is on fire. I mean, goodness,

you know, look what happened a couple of days ago with President Trump. And I mean, come on.

I think there's a lot of people who are feeling there's a shift happening. Are you feeling it?

I am. And I got to tell you, that brought back a lot. I don't know if you knew this. I was a police sniper back in the day.

That's right. I forgot.

It really freaked me out because the position that those two snipers in the video were,

you don't make yourself a target by sitting up like that. That was like a bizarre situation for me. I was never in all

in my years of deployment. And I have been partnered up with the Secret Service and Dignatory

Protection events before, you know, and they actually did pretty good. But that was a lot of

been experience in my opinion. You just don't do that. And frankly, the idea about having

to get a, somebody talked to you about saying you have permission to take the shot, that's not how

law enforcement works. If you see someone with a gun pointing at you, you should. You take the shot.

Yeah, you don't have to ask anybody. You are given that opportunity just because of the duty with which you've sworn to and be entrusted. So I was shocked by the whole darn thing. And I'm really grateful that President Trump's okay. That was a miracle. And I'm grieved by it all because when I look at that and I see that from my background

and my expertise, I'm thinking, I hate it for the young man too. What a bad decision. Yeah.

But that should have been ended before it started. You know, we got the citizens pointing out a

shooter on the roof with guns. It's weird, right? There's just so many.
