Episode 131: Our "Demented" President

Evil Democrats (but I repeat myself) have taken up the megaphone to declare that Donald Trump has dementia and must be removed via the 25th Amendment. We examine the evidence. It turns out that The Donald is much smarter than the average bear, and is in fact a master strategist.

Welcome to Careful Consideration of Our Common Concerns. I'm Dr. Ted Noel. There comes a time, as W.C. Fields put it, when one must grab the bull squarely by the tail and face the situation. I keep getting notices that many of you have found my old podcasts and are listening to them, and it becomes apparent that I have something to say that I ought to continue saying. So rather than let the podcast die, which had been my intention, I'm back. And today we're going to talk about one thing in particular, and that's Donald Trump. But the key here is the evil of the left evidenced by its treatment of Donald Trump in their speech. And let's take a look at what's going on. If we look through recent announcements about Iran, you find all sorts of Democrat leaders claiming that Donald Trump had no victory conditions available. I mean, or that he had not said anything about what would constitute victory. And remember, Donald Trump didn't start this war. Iran did in 1979 when they overran sovereign United States territory at the embassy in Tehran. That was an act of war. They have continued that war since then. Multiple episodes, multiple terrorist actions. They assisted in 9-11. Let's run the list. But basically, the point is we've been at war with them since 1979. Donald Trump just looked at it and said, they've got long-range missiles. They're about to test intercontinental missiles. They are within an eyelash of having nuclear bombs. And we know, for example, that they have enough uranium that with a very small amount of enrichment, they would have a dozen nuclear bombs or so. That would create unacceptable risks for the United States. So we started with Operation Midnight Hammer and took out their main enrichment facility and probably entombed most of that uranium. Then the Iranians did nothing to act peaceably. So the real key is instead of saying I have no victory conditions, which all the Democrats were screaming about, he said, here's the conditions. You give up all your nuclear ambitions. Period. Not negotiable. Second, you get rid of all of that uranium. We will take care of it. We'll put it away. But it is not going to sit there available for you to make a bomb. Period. End of discussion. You will get rid of your missiles. Period. No discussion. Those are the big three. Oh, no, let's go on. There's more than that. You will stop funding proxy wars like Hamas and Hezbollah and terrorism around the world. You will stop that. And the bottom line is you will become a peaceful good neighbor in the world instead of a rogue state trying to destroy the world. They are operating under the current forms of Islam, the radical form, which says, you don't convert, you die. We will kill all the infidels, etc. Their victory condition is we die. So the president has a constitutional obligation to protect us, and he's fulfilling that. And he stated these conditions at the beginning. He stated them again and again. And yet the Democrats sit here and lie. And so let us consider one thing about the Democrats. Do they ever tell the truth? And the answer is once in a while. But by and large, they have no concern for the truth. They will scream about everything. They screamed about the Epstein files. Trump was all over the Epstein files. No, he wasn't. Had he been all over the Epstein files, they would have dumped those out instantly because remember, Biden's White House leaked like a sieve. And they had access to all of those files. They could have shoveled them out the door, but guess what? Donald Trump had nothing to do with Epstein. As soon as he discovered Epstein hitting on the female attendants at Mar-a-Lago, Trump cut all ties with him and threw him out. And incidentally, he did ride on Epstein's plane once. As I recall, he rode it from Florida to New Jersey. He had never been to the island on and on. So Democrats lie. And lying is evil. What is the purpose of lying? It is power. Pure, simple power. So let us go on and look at what else they talk about. Oh, let us continue actually and continue with the victory conditions. Because Donald Trump is a whole lot smarter than the average bear. He had laid the groundwork for the current war over the last year. And what had he done? The first thing was he kicked the Chinese out of the Panama Canal. The Chinese, I don't know what he offered or threatened Panama with. I don't really care. The point was the Chinese controlled a choice point for American trade. Panama Canal had to be open to trade for everybody. The Chinese operated the ports at both ends. He worked with Panama to get them out. That was the first thing. The next thing was he took out Maduro and he blockaded Venezuela from sending oil to Cuba. We haven't seen the end of that yet. But that oil is now becoming available under a much more reasonable government in Venezuela for Western supply. That is, the entire world can be supplied easily from the U.S. and Venezuela. Remember that the Persian Gulf only supplied 20% of the world's oil. The rest of it now can come from the West. And if you look at the oil tankers in the Gulf of America, you'll see there's a lot more of them than there were. But we took care of one choke point. Something most people haven't heard about was there is a mutual assistance pact with Morocco. What has Morocco got to do with anything? Oh yes. Morocco is the North African country directly across from Gibraltar. And the Strait of Gibraltar is another commercial choke point. It's narrow. The German submarines learned during World War II that passing the Strait of Gibraltar was exceedingly difficult if the British decided and Americans decided to blockade it. And a number of them met their ends in Gibraltar. Continuing, that's two choke points. Let's go on. There's a mutual assistance point pact with Indonesia that most of you probably haven't heard about. Why is that important? Hmm. Oh yes. There's something called the Strait of Malacca there. It's a very narrow waterway controlled by Indonesia. And with a mutual assistance pact, we now control a major waterway where Middle Eastern oil goes to. Oh yes, who's on the eastern side of that? Oh yes, China. So it would be exceedingly easy for us to uh identify any tanker headed for China and say, uh, you're not going there. And we would be in a place where China would have a little difficulty. Now, granted, Korea and Taiwan need oil, but we could selectively let through those tankers, and the Reds would have a problem. So Strait of Malacca, that's the third choke point. And now what happens? Oh, yes, we've blockaded the Strait of Hormuz. We will let through anybody coming from Qatar, from United Arab Emirates, from Saudi Arabia, all of those people will come through. In the meantime, about half of Saudi Arabia's oil is now going over to the western side of Saudi and being loaded from over there. But anybody coming from Iran, sorry, Charlie, not happening. Anybody going to Iran, sorry, Charlie, not happening. And we turned around, a Chinese oil tanker headed in. We just told them, you're not going through. And so they headed out. The Chinese government obviously knew about it, obviously decided it wasn't worth poking the bear. And when Iran tried to send one out, we sent some five-inch rounds through the engine room of the tanker they tried to send out when it refused to comply. It only takes one to realize it ain't worth it. The U.S. Navy's got you covered. You're not getting through. And here's what happens now. We have all four major marine choke points covered. Yes, you can go around South America. Yes, you can go around Malaysia. Yes, you can go around Africa. But all of those routes are so much longer. And they're just not worth it for most people. So here's the thing. We now have our hand around China's throat with this. That's the first thing. And Trump has obviously told China, we don't have any interest in messing you guys up. We'd like to be good neighbors. We'd like you to prosper. But here's the deal: you're not supporting Iran anymore. It's not happening. And quietly, Iran is not getting Chinese support. It's just over. But Iran now has a major problem. Their storage facilities for oil on Carg Island, which is their major port, are almost full. Once those fill up and they can't be offloaded to ships to go through the Strait of Four Moose to go anywhere, you can't pump any more oil out there. What happens to the oil wells in Iran itself? You have to shut them down. You don't get a choice. You got no place to send it, you don't pump it out. Now, with those ill wells sitting empty, they get water intrusion. That messes up the oil wells. And it takes a considerable length of time for the oil wells to be properly restored to function after things are settled down. Well, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard gets paid by income from oil trade. It's gone. They've got a little bit of money, they can pay them for a little bit, but it's over. The money to finance all the proxies, not there anymore. That's why Hezbollah is getting wiped out by Israel in Lebanon, and why the government of Lebanon is now able to stand up and say, look, we're taking out Hezbollah with the Israelis. It's happening. Okay? And Israel has already basically decimated Hamas in Gaza. There's a little nuisance stuff going on there, but it's not big enough to be a problem. So here we have a master strategist who has put all the pieces together, knocked down the dominoes in the right order to suddenly make us the alpha male. Again, America is ruling the world in this sense. We are not putting up with anybody who can cause harm to us. Iran was the primary actor trying to harm America. And they are being put down hard. We have all of the appropriate means. We have the means to track all of their little boats. And every time those little boats come out, we've got A-10s to take them out. We have helicopters to take them out. And you know, you can't build more little boats in a hurry and put rocket launchers on them or whatever else on them in a hurry. Pretty quick, there aren't any more little boats. We have already done the remote-controlled minesweeping in the Strait of Hormuz and will continue to do it. And pretty soon the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is probably the only structure that really still exists, is going to have to cry uncle because they won't be able to continue. And somewhere down the line, the balance of power will ultimately put them out of business. Who knows what the form will be? But think about this for a minute. We have had a master strategist work this out so that all the dominoes fell at the right time, in the right place, to where not only have we taken out the Venezuelan threat, the problem with China and Panama, the worry about China attacking Taiwan, we took care of all of that stuff basically without a shot being fired. Now, Venezuela, yeah, we we took out a few Cuban mercenaries with some very well-placed shots. But in terms of putting boots on the ground any place, not we've lost a handful of people, and losing any is not good. But if we had invaded Iran, the body bags would have been numbered in the thousands. Not a good idea. And is Trump started a war? No, he's ending a war. But as a master strategist, that brings us to the next question. We have Democrats constantly screaming that uh Trump is demented. Well, no, he's not. As a doctor with a little bit of psych experience, I can sit here and say that the Democrats are the ones who are demented. But actually, they're not demented. They are just children flailing away saying, Mommy, mommy, mommy, Johnny hit me. That's all they're saying. And the fact that they stirred up the fight doesn't matter. Donald Trump has demonstrated he's not demented. Now let's go back and look at Sleepy Joe. Joe avoided having any public appearances. He always had people pointing him to where he needed to go. He couldn't even read a teleprompter effectively. Trump, on his way out to the helicopter or wherever he's going, has press gaggles. He has press gaggles on Air Force One. He loves talking to people. And what does he do? He has all of this stuff off the cuff, ready to go, bang. Does he say things in a way that we don't like? Yeah. As Dan Bongino pointed out, he's from Queens. This is the way people behave in Queens. And Dan's from Queens, so he knows. And this is just a personal style issue. Now, does he say things that seem over the top? Yeah. He's doing two things. He's negotiating. And the bottom line is if you don't like what I'm doing, I have the means to do very, very tough things to you. You ain't gonna like it. And he may express it in a hyperbolic fashion. That's common. But the bottom line is it'll happen. And there's no way around it. So it's either come to the table, give me something I want, and I, you know, I may give you something back in return, but here's the deal. I've got the bigger stick. So you will negotiate. This is not an option. And he has full command of everything instantly. Trump gave more press availability in a single press gaggle than Biden did in four years. And it's very clear that Biden was demented. I think he had a combination of prefrontal dementia and some other things going on. He had a mixed picture. And I did a piece on that many years ago. But the fact is, Biden clearly had dementia, and he needed to be removed by the 25th Amendment. But for anyone who has those dreams, which so many Democrats have. They forget to read 25th. They treat it as if it was holy water being sprinkled on a vampire. 25th Amendment, 25th Amendment. But here is section four. Whenever the vice president and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the president pro tempore of the Senate and Speaker of the House their written declaration that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. The VP shall immediately assume the powers and duties as acting president. That's the first paragraph. Who initiates the 25th Amendment? The VP and the Cabinet. Now, did any of you watch the series Designated Survivor? Oh, yes, there is a scene, I think it's in the second season, where the cab the Twenty-Fifth Amendment is attempted to be used because they don't like what the president's doing. And he instantly fires the entire cabinet. Now there's no cabinet to convey the request on to the House and the Senate. They can't do it. Well, first of all, you'd have to get uh VP Vance to agree. You'd have to get half the cabinet to agree. Ain't happening. It is a pipe dream. And any Democrat who is sitting there thinking that Trump is demended needs to go back and reread or actually listen to what I just said at the beginning of this talk. Trump has acted as a master strategist. He's now acting as a deal maker. Remember the name of his book, The Art of the Deal. And remember, his favorite book by another author is called The Art of War by Sun Tzu. The basic key here is he is a master of tactics and strategy. I don't know how he got China out of Panama, but tactics and strategy had something to do with it. Sorry about that. I'm recording at 9:30 in the morning and the uh market just opened. In any case, uh when you look at what he's doing, he has put America first. What are the Democrats doing? They are screaming because they are losing power. Remember, anything that a Democrat says must be considered to be a lie until proven otherwise. It's just the fact they have no other way to operate. When you listen to Democrats, what are they for? What are their concrete proposals? The answer is they don't have any. What they want to do is to destroy, to tear down. They want to have absolute power. And that is the very definition of evil. So now you have your key as to how you're going to deal with Democrats. Until next time, the message is what matters. I'm Dr. Ted Noel.
