At times, it is hard to not be discouraged, when you look at what is going on in the world all around us. It can be even harder still when the people around you are desperate for answers that obviously you cannot give them, yet they are not doing anything themselves to try to make a difference except add more stress to your own life. That does not mean that you must join ranks with the people that have lost faith, though. In fact, it means it is even more important than ever to try to encourage others and give them strength during these challenging times.

We make difficult choices in our lives every single day. I have had to make some of the most challenging decisions over the last year, but without those moments we would not be where we are today.

It was over a year ago, when I was so proud of Drew Brees for speaking up that he would never be in support of kneeling during the National Anthem. Of course, within about twenty-four hours they had made him out to be a racist and unsupportive leader to his team. So, what happened next, all the sudden he was apologizing and kneeling right along with his team. I lost all respect for him. From that day forward I have never watched another football game, or any sport for that matter, nor do I plan to until things change.

In years past I spoke out little about my views on politics because of our business, except of course right around election time. After that happened and everything we have been witnessing in our country I decided I am part of the problem. If I am going to sit back and not do or say anything, how can I expect things to improve if we do nothing to make our voices heard?

I posted a simple meme stating, “I think it’s sad that Drew Brees had to apologize for his love of country, yet it’s OK to kneel”. That was it, no big deal, just speaking my truth because in my world we are blessed to live in America, and many have died fighting for our freedoms. There is no way I think any American should be disrespecting our flag and all that have fought for the players and viewers to be able to enjoy a football game or their daily lives. I also think because this is America, it is their right to do so if they wish, I just do not have to agree or watch if I choose not to.

Well of course within hours a fellow real estate agent in my area decided to screenshot my simple meme, share it on her social media page and essentially state that a “Top Realtor in St. Louis is showing her true colors”. All throughout the post were comments from that agent, her friends and fellow real estate agents calling me a racist, wanting to educate me on why I was wrong. They shared all my contact information, my google information, told people to go give me a review and let me know what they thought of me and so on. Well, let us just say they did that and a whole lot more, including death threats that noted the vehicle I drove.

Apparently, they thought by doing that it would shame me or make me coward down and apologize; it did nothing but infuriate me and make me go full throttle moving forward and I have not looked back. So, if you’re reading this, what you meant for my harm worked out to be a wonderful blessing in my life and I thank you!

We are living through challenging times where you apparently cannot have your own opinions; if you do the name calling begins, along with the hate. What happened to the times when it was alright to disagree and still care about one another? Why does there have to be so much division, we are all created equal in God’s eyes. It is alright to disagree, if you want the vaccine, get the vaccine but do not be mad at those of us who choose not to get one. If you have the vaccine, you should be protected, correct? It makes no sense to me why everyone thinks they must control others and tell them what to do!

What happened to the America we loved? The America we grew up in where we treated each other with love and respect and were taught right from wrong? I miss those simple days so much and knew that if we do not start speaking up, getting our voices heard, our children and especially our grandchildren will be living in a world that we would not even recognize.

So, while I love my real estate business and having been very successful in real estate now for almost twenty-five years, I felt I had to do something more and hoped that our clients would continue to support us regardless of where we stood politically. Aftewr much prayer, in my heart I know God led us to look for a way to be able to let others all over the world know they are not alone. We all know that President Trump won the election without a doubt, there are many more of us than people even realize, but there were no other REAL conservative places to turn except podcasts.

After the stolen election, I simply could not watch any news or media channels any longer, except One America News. Rick and I would spend late hours into the night listening to podcasts of people we had never listened to before, just because they spoke our language. It was so frustrating at times though, because of course social media was always taking them down causing them to have to move to another platform, making it difficult to find them for weeks. We felt there had to be an easier way and I was very determined to figure it out.

Originally, we had set out not to run our own radio stations, but simply help others that were trying to do the same thing. That was until I quickly realized their idea of a Conservative station was not the same as ours. It felt like their idea of a Conservative was RINO Mitt Romney. No thank you. Most wanted to stop talking about President Trump, and just accept the called results and move forward. For the life of me I will never understand; there will never be another fair election if we do not take care of it now!

From that moment on we were on a mission to find the perfect stations, I believe we have succeeded. Rick and I have never worked so hard in our entire life! We started working on finding the perfect hosts, employees, engineers, studios and so on in March, from that time until September we worked at least 18 hours a day, if not more. We were still operating our real estate business, our real estate team really stepped up as well. Building radio studios from the ground up was no easy task. It was the most exhausting six months of our life, but also the most rewarding experience. I will always be grateful to every single person that helped us make Real Talk possible. Together we are all making a difference!

From the beginning, I felt we were doing God’s work; that he was looking for as many of us as possible to stand with him and fight for our country, to get God back into all things! This is why it is extremely important to us to get more spiritually uplifting shows on Sundays including several pastors who have wonderful programs.

We launched in mid-August and as I write this, we just finished our 7th week on air, what a ride it has been thus far! To date we have had over 15,000,000 hits on our website www.realtalk933.com and over 100,000 listeners have downloaded our APP, from Google and Apple. You can find the APP link on our website. We are blessed with amazing hosts that you will read about towards the middle of the magazine. One of those is Joe Hoft, twin brother of the Gateway Pundit founder, Jim Hoft. Recently they were honored to be able to interview President Trump together for the Gateway Pundit and were kind enough to share the interview livestream with Real Talk 93.3 FM; that was incredible. Not long after that, Joe Hoft and Kell Brazil made national news while interviewing Roger Stone he was served, live on air, with another lawsuit. Never did I think I would see a business that we owned going across the bottom of the ticker on CNN or in over twenty national online publications, including Newsweek and People.

Of course, we have many other awesome hosts, such as our friend Dr. Eric Nepute, who is always making national news and has followers all over the world! Talk about a dedicated patriot fighting for America, on his weekends you will find him at one of Clay Clark’s events or traveling with General Flynn or Mike Lindell; anything he can do to spread the word and help people.

We were honored to have Senator Bill Eigel, who I like to refer to as Skippy, because he is so happy every day. He truly loves what he is doing, trying to educate our listeners on what is happening in Jefferson City.

Then, we added former Senator Brian Nieves and his brilliant son Victor for afternoon drive, what a dynamic duo. There are just so many shows that I could brag on like retired Pastor Stephen Hower. Pastor Hower was a real estate client of ours, I knew from the first time I sat down at their table we would be working with him in some way, I just did not know how. The Lord puts all people in our life for a reason; some are placed just for a season, to learn a lesson. I have learned plenty of those lessons throughout all of this. Those lessons are why several people are no longer with us. Praise The Lord!

There are big things coming for The Rick and Tracy Ellis Real Estate Team and The Real Talk Radio Network both are rapidly growing. We currently have 93.3FM, 104.3FM, 107.3FM, 100.7FM and 1010AM.

Our first station that launched, 93.3FM is currently only at approximately 14,000 watts; so in some areas you may pick up some static. Do not worry, we are hard at work building a brand-new tower that will raise the 93.3FM station to 50,000 watts; this should be completed by the end of the year. Two of our other stations are approximately 25,000 watts each; 104.3FM covers the Hannibal area all the way to Quincy, Illinois, along with a lot of other surrounding cities. The newest addition is 107.3FM, in Rolla we launched in October; which is also approximately 25,000 watts with wonderful coverage along HWY 44.

We also launched our programming, along with a few different conservative programs to give our listeners options on 100.7 FM which covers St. Louis County, St. Louis City, South County and all the way to Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. You can also tune into us in Illinois on KXEN 1010AM.

Do not think that will be the last; we are already working on several others. There are so many people excited about our stations and unique programming that we have several investors calling us wanting to know how they can be a part of the Real Talk Radio Network family.

As always, ALL the glory goes to GOD! Every single one of us at Real Talk, who have worked so hard, for little to no pay, to simply try to help so many of our “freedom fighting” Americans who feel they have no voice please hang on; continue to pray, have faith and fight until the fraudulent election is exposed and the truth revealed. We will not be silenced, nor will we ever stop fighting for the freedom of all Americans.

While the radio stations are quite a big deal, Rick and I are so excited now what we can offer all our real estate clients! Now, not only can we have your homes on our shows on the weekends, but we can also do commercials specific to your listing to air all during the week. Not to mention specific commercials promoting our upcoming open houses or special properties. Now we can truly give our clients the absolute best in marketing and advertising; with over 15,000,000 hits to our Real Talk website we will sync this to www.tracyellis. com for buyers looking to move into our area, they can easily search from any of our websites. Of course, our APP has over 100,000

users and our advertising for our real estate business is all over the APP as well. Look for our new magazine on store shelves as well; moving forward our magazine will be split with information on real estate and what is happening in the political arena. There will be a front cover and back cover, halfway through the pages will flip.

As you can see, we are truly doing everything we can to continue to grow our real estate business, give our clients even more than we ever have before, while also helping our country. We ask that you continue to support The Rick and Tracy Ellis Team and Real Talk Radio Network, The Voice of Freedom. We are truly blessed to have the very best of both worlds, we love what we do every single day. Life is starting to slow down a bit and return to normal, so we are ready to take your calls and get your home listed for the holidays.

Thank you all so much for all your support through the years! We appreciate each one of you more than you will ever know. God Bless You; please never stop standing up for what is right, Your Voice Matters!
