From Iran’s Streets To Minnesota’s Scandal: Power, Protest, And Accountability

A protest movement faces live fire. A daycare pulls in millions while identities are allegedly stolen. An ICE stop turns fatal and the internet decides by clip, not by context. We connect these flashpoints to a deeper question: who gets to enforce the rules, and who pays when they’re ignored?

We start with Iran’s spiraling crackdown and the wrenching dilemma it creates: the moral pull to help versus the strategic reality that U.S. intervention in a Muslim-majority nation can backfire, ignite anti-West sentiment, and fuel extremism. From there, we dig into alleged welfare and daycare fraud in Minnesota—claims of billions wasted, fake enrollments, and victims of identity theft. The argument isn’t abstract: when systems bleed, people who actually qualify get less. We talk audits, restitution, and how political labels get used to deflect accountability.

Law and order collide with perception in a hard segment on ICE. Viral videos rarely show the ten minutes of warnings before the window breaks, or that a car can be a weapon. We examine use of force, why context matters, and the uncomfortable truth that enforcement can be both necessary and imperfect. Economics thread through the gaps—lower gas prices, a frank take on oil’s role, and why choices around Venezuela ripple into everyday budgets. We also question the media “hot take” machine, highlight Greenland’s long-standing strategic value, and push for plain-language standards like English proficiency for commercial drivers as part of a broader, fair approach to immigration and public safety.

If there’s a center to all this, it’s trust. Trust that benefits reach the right families. Trust that protests aren’t met with bullets. Trust that officers act within the law, and that media doesn’t strip away context. And trust that elected officials serve everyone, not just a narrow base.

Catching Up And Holiday Setbacks

SPEAKER_04 0:55

Hello. James, what's going on? Very well. How about yourself? All right. It's been a while. It has been a while. It's been uh pretty pretty uh mellowed out here through the holidays. How was your Christmas holidays? All good? Eventful.

SPEAKER_15 1:12

Um health issues and stuff like that, and uh dealing with my father who's in the throes of dementia. Uh it keeps it keeps you busy. Yeah. And uh it it really manages to push the Christmas spirit away. Right.

SPEAKER_04 1:26

Yeah, I hear you. Yeah, we were all uh sick here over the holidays. Christmas uh with like five people COVID. Whoa. Yeah. All right. I thought you were just like sniffles and stuff like that. That's all I had. Yeah. But we didn't know everybody was sick. Wow. We all gathered for Christmas Eve. Christmas Day, done.

SPEAKER_15 1:52

It's like the old days when kids would get chicken pox, you'd all pile them in a room together to get it over with. Yeah, yeah. Everybody suffer now.

SPEAKER_04 2:00

It's uh yeah. I mean, all I had was a little cold over New Year's Eve, and uh that was it. That was it. But uh, that's it. What else is happening? Nothing playing at playing out anywhere, nothing.

SPEAKER_15 2:16

No, I I um I had a I had an injury and uh it developed into something pretty pretty nasty over the course of the past two and a half months. And uh I'm to be completely honest, between being off of my feet literally, not being able to walk around and uh being on leave from work, the financial issues that come along with that, depression that comes along with that. I haven't done much but but master the remote. Yeah, you know what I mean? I'd look at my studio where I can go in and play music and stuff like that. I'm saying, how do I bother? Right, you know what I mean? So I'm I'm just getting I'm just getting past that mindset right now.

SPEAKER_04 2:55

Well, I haven't worked a full week uh while I'm lying. Last week I worked a full week. That's probably the first full week I've worked since December.

SPEAKER_15 3:04

Now, is that due to a lack of freight or is that due to other issues, sickness and time off and stuff?

SPEAKER_04 3:10

I had uh time off for the holiday. Let me tell you this. It started December 2nd when I got my accident. I had the following day off after that. Then the following week, I had scheduled a day off for something. The week after that, I had something going on. Also, I had something scheduled off. And then I had vacation time I used for Christmas and New Year's, and uh here we are. Right.

SPEAKER_15 3:46

You know, that's another thing, and I'm off tomorrow. You you you start you start going through, especially the holidays, and and it's like one of the old movies where the calendar pages there's a fan that just flips the pages, the days just fly by. Yeah, and the next thing you know, you're in a new year, and and and yeah, it's really kind of a disconnected feeling of time.

SPEAKER_04 4:06

I don't know. And I'm off tomorrow. I had to stay out last night. Well, I got up there, it took me seven hours to do a five-hour run. So I wasn't making it back. So I took my tent up there, got home about midnight this morning, and uh that was it. Woke up to more snow.

SPEAKER_15 4:25

Yeah, I woke up and walked out to the coffee machine this morning, and I'm like, what the hell? Where did this come from?

Iran’s Crackdown And Protest Dynamics

SPEAKER_04 4:31

Yeah, yeah. Yep, I don't know. It is what it is. We got a different look here. We're no longer in the basement. That's right. We're back pretty pretty close to where we started doing a podcast. Luckily, I still have the same hoodie. So, yeah. You do. I got that going for me, which is nice. Yeah, I don't like change. So, what what do we got going on here? We got a lot of shit to talk about. There's nothing happening in the world at all. No, everything's pretty mellow, pretty chill. There's a lot. There's a lot to talk about. What uh uh, you know, we'll start on uh the Iran issue, which is a huge powder keg type stuff. Yeah, it's it's um I guess uh you know, from what I gather, uh a lot of a lot of death, a lot of uh I want uh you almost want to call it genocide, you know, but it's not, but it's almost what you want to call it.

SPEAKER_15 5:30

When you look at the numbers, the the numbers are shocking. The reports of death, um, and this this is Iran on Iran violence. Uh just to just to clarify, uh, the leader Khamenei over there authorized live fire, uh, real bullets to suppress protests that are going on in Iran. Uh, the protests, there's myriad reasons for the protests, uh, everything from religious oppression uh to remarkable inflation, an economy that's in the toilet, which is hysterical for an oil-rich country like that. That just it it screams of gross mismanagement. Um, but Khamenei ain't having it. And Iran's always been kind of totalitarian since you know that this regime has come into power around 1977. Right. Um, so he's like, okay, shoot them. Yeah. And they have been. Reports vary from the numbers that I've read from reported 5,000 dead to reported 20,000 dead. Now, anywhere in that arc from five to twenty thousand is still a remarkable amount of dead people. Staggering, staggering that their own government has killed them.

SPEAKER_04 6:36

Yeah, yeah. Let's uh I got a little video clip here, we'll play. And um this is what we're looking at here. Yep. Pull it up here with all these people and you're giving authorization to open fire. That's under control. Look at all the people. It's like you're gonna open fire on all these people.

SPEAKER_15 7:45

Apparently. Well, the the thing that is when you have all those people you see a couple of people drop dead in front of you, you're not gonna want to protest all that much anymore. I mean, it it's it's crude, but it's fear-based effective force management, which is disgusting and despicable, but it it is effective. Now, uh but it seems like the people aren't backing down though. No, they're not backing down at all. And this is reminiscent of the uh the revolution in the 1970s, the late 1970s, that put this current administration in power, the the theocracy that Iran has. Uh, they overthrew the Shah, and it was a very similar type of thing. Young people, hyper-religious, could not be deterred, would not be deterred, made something happen. History shows that that is a very effective means of change. When young people demonstrate en masse and say that they want change, it usually happens. The current power structure structure recognizes that history and they're doing everything they can to suppress it. Right.

SPEAKER_04 8:59

Now, what is what do you think? Is it a good idea for us to go in there and try to calm this shit down? No, I don't think it is. I kind of I do just for from the humanitarian side of things, but I think you're you're escalating into something much, much, much bigger than just going in there and and trying to calm stuff down. It's not like the last time where we just took out a bunker with uh nuclear weapons and we put a couple bombs in there and blew it up. This is totally different. This is 100% different.

SPEAKER_15 9:37

And also it is uh you're immersing yourself in a culture war, and and you know, because there's the one of the goals of this um protesting and and it's to bring about the end of the current regime, and uh there's a popular movement to reinstall, I believe it's the son of the Shah Reza Pahmi. Yep, the son, yeah, uh, who's currently living in exile in America? So that there's a lot of political ramifications for that. It could look like a push by America to have a certain kind of government in place. It's messy. Now, don't get me wrong, five to twenty thousand people dead in the streets is also messy. But when you're you're not dealing with a military target like we were with the nuclear bunkers, right? You're dealing with a culture. Yeah, you're not it's not one specific thing. You're dealing right, just what you said. And it's a culture that we do not and cannot identify with. Now, if if people want to uh piss and moan about the body count as they should, because it's appalling, where's the United Nations? Where's a consortium of governments, many of whom are theocracies, many of whom are Muslim nations that could get involved and maybe soft soap this a little bit? I'm not I there's deafening silence from the UN, except to say, hey America, don't do that.

SPEAKER_04 11:04

But do they have did do they have to get some kind of authorization to intervene to go in there from somebody?

SPEAKER_15 11:12

Excuse me. Previous experience has shown that the UN, whenever they get involved in any kind of a peacekeeping mission or anything like that, uh I described before we before we turned the mics on, we I describe them as Ken dolls, no balls. Yeah, they they they they kind of sit there passively and watch stuff happen. Kind of like NATO. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Hey, look at my spiffy uniform, right? And my gun that I'll never use.

Should The U.S. Intervene In Iran?

SPEAKER_04 11:38

Um I don't know. Uh I I don't uh uh the only benefit if the if it is a benefit is the oil. Yeah. And uh it's almost like uh Venezuela type deal, you know, we're gonna benefit from the oil, we're gonna, you know, from uh financial standpoint, we'll benefit. And and I also think that too, if we do go in there and if we do kind of uh tone things down a bit, are we gonna have a little bit more of a stronghold uh in that region? Is I if we do calm that down, let's say the Ayatollah does get overthrown, it gets out of there, and uh it gets to be more of a civilized nation. And is it going to be something where they may possibly want us to stay there? Is this going to end up like a like uh uh uh uh Afghanistan type deal? We we get in there, we're keeping the peace, we're holding ground. Now all of a sudden we have these radicals that don't want us there, and now we're starting to lose uh soldiers and marines. Exactly. You know, that's what concerns me.

SPEAKER_15 13:01

See, this is an ugly opinion, and it it's gonna make me sound like a callous asshole. But sometimes people just gotta work the stuff out. Yeah, they they do. You know what I mean? And it could get messy, it could get bloody, it could get ugly. Um, but if you remember, one of the reasons that Osama bin Laden hated us so badly, and one of the reasons why there was such an uh an uprising against the West is because we put boots on the ground in Saudi Arabia. Yep. As infidels. Listen, that area is is predominantly Muslim.

SPEAKER_04 13:42

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_15 13:43

So if we put any kind of boots or have military action on the ground in Iran, guess what? You're gonna have the same effect. It's like hitting a hornet's nest. Right. And and it it whether they know exactly why or what our goal is there, it doesn't matter. All they see is boots on the ground in a Muslim nation and infidels fighting Muslims. Right. That's a powder keg, and and you can't change that opinion once it's in place. So is it ugly? Is it callous? Yeah, but I think this is something that they're gonna have to do on their own.

SPEAKER_04 14:23

But they're not going to. And what bothers me too, I've I I've said this over the years quite a bit, is why are we always getting involved in this shit? Why are we the uh the uh police policemen of the of the of the planet?

SPEAKER_15 14:40

Well, the South the the guys from South Park did an entire film about that in Team America World Police. Yeah, you know what I mean? And they did a spoof of it, but it's it's kind of it's kind of the truth. We we we come in there with what seem like good intentions, and there's always undercurrents of bad intentions. I'm sure the oil is on on the mind of uh uh politicians prominently. Right. Um that that's probably the you know the main option. It might even be the main thrust. Sure. I'm I'm hoping that the lessons that we learned in the early 1990s, Saudi Arabia boots on the ground, what did it do? We wound up starting a terrorist organization and a and a Muslim movement because of our involvement, right? We weren't careful, we we didn't we didn't think it through enough. Um I think that I think that there's and this this might be uh a fault of Trump's. He wants to be the good guy, he wants to be the white knight, he wants to be seen as the white knight. He does. Well, guess what? That doesn't always help in the future.

SPEAKER_04 15:44

What what it also I noticed. We have not heard, I I don't want to get on this topic, but we have not heard a wick of anything at all, period. I would say on in almost the last month, of what's going on in Europe with Russia and Ukraine. That's that's back burner shit right now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_15 16:10

And all of a sudden, uh just what you just said, it's back burner shit. Well, Putin has a strong opinion about Venezuela, no, uh about Venezuela. Of course, Maduro who was his guy.

SPEAKER_04 16:21

Yeah, he was benefiting from that, sure. Yeah sure. You know, uh, you know, it's just with uh everything that is uh going on in the world today, it it's very concerning with uh what's going on in Iran, what's going on in Russia, what's going on uh over in uh Venezuela, Venezuela, Israel, Minnesota, Minnesota, you know, it's like when is this going to come to a head? When is eventually bad shit's gonna happen, more bad shit, and uh somebody's gotta get a grip on this stuff because uh this could get out of control really, really quick, really quick. We you know we look at what's going on up there in Minnesota. Uh we have you know the Somalis up there that uh pretty much uh took over Indianapolis for the most part. Uh and when I when I see that and I see what's going on in Manhattan with this new mayor, why did we allow this to happen?

SPEAKER_15 17:38

Well, in the case of what happened in Minnesota, if my memory serves me correct, Somali immigrants were allowed in and they were kind of bunched in a certain area. And uh the it was for votes essentially. It it it's uh what's the what's the term that I I was thinking, it was running through my head earlier. Um immigration gerrymandering. I was just gonna say gerrymandering without the immigration, but yeah, that's the way we're gonna use these immigrants, we're gonna put them up there. They're all gonna vote Democrat because they're in a better situation than they were, and they're gonna recognize who put them there. And it worked effectually. Uh effectively, it worked. You have it like people like Ilan Omar rising to power, who's a batshit insane, right? Uh, but she's there and she's got FaceTime on the camera, and you know, it's it's a it's a bad situation, but you also have a governor who was complicit in turning a blind eye.

UN, NATO, And The Limits Of Peacekeeping

SPEAKER_04 18:40

Well, he he's to fraud to ripping people. Yeah, he's he's in the hot seat right now. He's got a lot of a lot of explaining to do. Um obviously we've all heard of this Nick Shirley dude who brought all that fraud to light with uh with the daycare centers. Uh what's concerning about it is it's not just the what's going on in Minnesota, Indianapolis. It this is this shit's going on all over the country. This is billions of dollars. I talked about this on my last podcast I did on my own. And uh when when I looked at numbers, that's what drew my attention to to that was billions of dollars being just wasted, given away not only to to the Somalians, but American white people that are you know they're manipulating this system to get free shit. Right. And what pissed me off about the whole thing, that's my money. That's my tax money. Why am I paying? Uh don't quote me on these numbers, but I'm pretty sure I'm pretty I'm gonna be pretty close. Uh Just give a roundabout number. Five million people in California are on SNAP benefits. Three million on SNAP benefits in Pennsylvania. So why is my federal dollars going there to California to pay for them clowns? Why can't Governor New Scomb uh fix his own problems? Why can't he fix that instead of you know depending on the rest of the nation uh uh financing his his fraudulent activity over there? And nobody could tell me that there's no fraudulent activity going on in California.

SPEAKER_15 20:38

And if you see there's fraudulent activity going on in Pennsylvania, it's everywhere. It's everywhere. Like to give you an example, my my father, 77 years old, uh he's in dementia, worked all his life, uh, did the right thing, and uh he is eligible for SNAP benefits, so I signed them up for him. Right. And uh he gets a whopping$17 a month. That's that this is the part that bothers me too. Meanwhile, there's people with grocery carts overflowing, right? Busting out that EBT card. It's it's you know, and now luckily my father didn't buy. I'm not pleading poverty for him, but I what I'm saying is like somebody who actually needs did all of his paid in$17. Yeah. Come on.

SPEAKER_04 21:25

Yeah. And it it the average person across the nation, uh now they didn't they didn't say uh how big the household was, uh, is uh they receive$188 a month in benefits, not benefits.$188. Now I am a family of three. My wife spends more than that a week. Sure. A week. So how are these people if they if they are deserving of this and they need it, how are these people getting by and they can't work? How are they getting by if they have three or four kids? It just dumbfounds me. I don't want to stick to just on the snap, but it the if if we if we if we go in and remove all of this fraud, the people who are deserving and actually need these benefits will be able to get more, and they can't because of the fraud that's being committed, not only in Minnesota, but everywhere else across the nation.

SPEAKER_15 22:37

So let's say that Trump tomorrow uh came up with a position like um, I don't know, welfare fraud czar. And this person's job was to dig deep in every state and filter out those who are defrauding the system, or at least realign it, that the people who are getting massive amounts of money with no work uh maybe get less snap benefits and have to work, that type of thing. Right. Let's say that he digs deep and or this person digs deep and filters through all of this fraud or abuse of the system. The amount of people that would be screaming racism, classism. Right, that that's part of the problem. You know, like the the the the we we live in an entitlement culture. Away, yeah, just a little bit. Oh that that's good. Yeah, we live in an entitlement culture, yeah. And that's the problem. But entitled people get loud, and loud people get attention, and then all of a sudden this is a shameful thing that you're trying to root out waste and you're just trying to hurt people. It's it's the way it's spun.

SPEAKER_04 23:58

Now, where I agree with you 100%. Uh where was Elon Musk when when uh he was uh where's Doge at right now looking into this? Why wasn't Doge looking into not only the SNAP benefits, but but the these all this this daycare stuff up in Minnesota, the the fraudulent people getting welfare fraudulently, uh all that stuff. Do we just overlook that or what's going on? I'd like to know why that wasn't looked at more in depth.

SPEAKER_15 24:31

The I I think it might have something to do with the fact that the face of Doge, Elon Musk, walked away from it. He had to because his his businesses were taking such a beating.

SPEAKER_04 24:43

Well, his time was up. He was he was only allowed to be in that position, I think, for 90 days or something like that.

SPEAKER_15 24:49

But he was he was also like he he could still stay on as an advisor. He could. He just can't be ahead. But right now, because of because of the amount of abuse he took, because of what I just talked about. People you're just a racist. You just want to you just want to hurt people, and you want to you you want to make the poor suffer even more. His businesses took a hit. Oh, they big time. And he literally said he he when he gave one of his speeches or statements or whatever. Listen, I have businesses to run. I have to step back and focus on my businesses because yeah, this is what got me to where I am.

SPEAKER_04 25:26

Right, right. But there's still that that that organization is still a part of the government nowadays. So I I just would like to know why it wasn't looked into when he was there. That the i it took a no-name reporter to dig that up. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_15 25:51

It took two no-name reporters to do the uh uh thing with Nixon. Right. The Barry Nixon.

Minnesota Fraud And SNAP Abuse Allegations

SPEAKER_04 25:56

Right, with Woodon Bernstein. And and now we have uh Governor Walls and uh his uh his his crazy wife now that is being investigated for all this fraud that's going on with with these daycare centers, and now there's some kind of transportation thing going on there. Uh these companies just don't exist. They don't exist. Let me play a clip here of uh what's what's going on here up there. Uh where is the air handy? Uh uh uh uh uh I think this is it here. Yeah, here we go.

SPEAKER_08 26:48

42 a.m. Free Fall, Minnesota. The temperature was well below freezing. The streets of the southern district were empty save for the exhaust looms of three unmarked federal SUVs idling at the curb. Inside those vehicles had 11 federal inspectors from the FBI and the Department of Health and Human Services. They weren't there for a drug fund, they weren't there for a fugitive fund. On paper, this was a routine compliance inspection of a state licensed childcare center. The facility was run by a Nina Farah Hassan, a 45-year-old director with a reputation that raised no suspicion.

SPEAKER_04 27:21

All right, well, let's pause it there and let's look at the name. Hassan. Yeah. And that's the part that all all of these businesses up there, they were all run by Somalis. What what burns my ass too is if I went and tried to get funding to open up a business, it's not happening. It's not happening. And these people want to claim racism and and fascism and all that bullshit. Because they got caught. Exactly. They weren't screaming that beforehand when they were getting the money. So funding. They go in there, they find out, okay, it is fraud, it is uh illegal what you are doing. Let's take Tim Walls out of the whole scenario for right now. And what's gonna happen to these people? What's gonna happen? Are they gonna get deported? Are they gonna have to go back to Somalia? Are they gonna spend spend time in jail? Uh what's gonna happen to these people? Now, the the the people that got uh uh convicted of the fraudulent activity with the SNAP benefits, uh I believe three people spent time in jail. There's another three that uh pled guilty and uh they got put on uh probation or parole, whatever, all that stuff. They were all white people. So I know I'm sounding racist here, but it it is what it is. It's facts. So why wouldn't these people be held accountable for what they're doing? You can't you cannot just give them a slap on the wrist.

SPEAKER_15 29:17

Well, okay.

SPEAKER_04 29:19

If we're gonna if we're gonna and they all claim citizens, they're all American citizens, they're claiming that they are. So keep that in mind, too.

SPEAKER_15 29:28

Because this group, like you said, the the convicted parties were white folks. I don't think anybody was screaming to the rafters that they were being oppressed or uh the government was moving against them because of some they're different. Just like what you were saying earlier. This is this is what happens with volume. Right. You you're going to have somebody of a different skin color, you're gonna have somebody of a different nation of origin, even though they are an American citizen. They're gonna amplify the the the narrative that I'm being oppressed because of my skin color, I'm being oppressed because of where I came from. And what that does is it helps change the narrative away from the fact that you're a goddamn criminal. It does.

SPEAKER_04 30:15

And that's why they say that stuff. It's it's throwing dust in the air. That's what it is. It's like poking and hoping, right, pretty much. And it's it's the same, it's the same. Now, we look at Tim Wallace here. We'll we'll get on on this frickin' retard. Because he's a goddamn criminal. Because he's a criminal. He's been a criminal since the day he took office up there, right? Claiming this, claiming that, claiming that, you know, he did all this shit. He was a football coach, he spent time in China, Tenement Square. He's he has done nothing. Nothing. What has he done other than what has he done for the citizens of Minnesota other than what he's done for the Somalis? Has he done anything for anybody else? And from what I see, what I looked up, he has done much.

SPEAKER_15 31:12

But Waltz is doing the same thing that the Somali contingent is doing instead instead of instead of talking about what's going on, they're talking about their race, they're talking about their color, their their nation of origin, their immigration status, and using that to kind of like steer the focus away from their crimes. Tim Waltz is doing the same thing. Correct. What he's doing right now to get everybody's attention off of this stuff that's going on up there with the fraud and the Somali contingent is look at ice. Look at how terrible ice is. Ice rates, people fight back against ice. He's throwing dust in the air and having people look over here instead of looking at what they need to look at, which is his him being complicit with the fraud that's going on up there. Uh and he's got a microphone and he's got the press, you know, who's willing to listen to him and and make uh ice into the bad guy.

SPEAKER_04 32:15

Well, he knows he's he's on he's he's on the shit list because he dropped out of the next uh governor race, right? Race for governor up there. Um and now uh okay, they caught the fraud. They know where it's coming from, how it's happening. Now what? Because now our government, the American people, are out billions of dollars.

SPEAKER_15 32:44

Billions that they're not gonna get back, even if everybody's prosecuted, that money's not coming back. It's gonna cost us more money to house these scumbags, and it's gonna cost money to prosecute them because it's right at some point once they identify the all the people of interest, they're probably going to have to appoint a special prosecutor to dig deep. They are they are and and and put it in put it in legalese to make it a prose prosecutable, right? Is that a word? I don't know, but prosecutable, sure.

SPEAKER_04 33:15

It is today. Prosecutory. You see, you see that's a nice word. Prosecutory is good. We'll use that. We'll go with that one. That sounds pretty intelligent. Here, let me straighten that coming out of my mouth.

SPEAKER_15 33:26

Quick, say something foul so that we could forget that we're intelligent. Um, but no, that that that's that's gonna cost a fortune. Special prosecutors always sound like a good idea until they get into their investigation. And you you could you could go back to the the one that the one that uh investigated Trump, the one that investigated Clinton. They take forever. That's because it's money. The longer they take a bloody fortune because it's a government contract, right?

SPEAKER_04 33:52

The longer they take, the more money they make. Right.

SPEAKER_15 33:55

Yeah. And at the end, at the end, the the the results are usually underwhelming. Right. Every special prosecutor that I could think of, when they finally delivered their report, the one against Trump, the one against Trump was so underwhelming that I think they released it on the weekend. Yeah. So that it wouldn't hit the news cycle, had a couple of days to calm down before the main news cycle hit. There's nothing there. And uh it's usually, like I said, it's an underwhelming thing. And how much did you pay this guy? How many lives did we ruin? Uh it's it's I mean, inefficient system.

SPEAKER_04 34:30

The the other thing that that concerns me with this is the way the way they were they were uh uh bringing the how do I want to say this? They the way that they were with these daycare centers, they were giving children's names and parents' names and you know, stuff of that. They to say that they had all these people, they need the funding. And by the way, the funding that they were getting, this one daycare center up there, was 12 million dollars a year. A year. I don't think it takes 12 million dollars to run a freaking daycare center. Somalian snacks are very expensive, you know what the freak. But what they were doing, they were stealing the identities of American citizens, social security numbers, birth certificates, all of that stuff to register these people in their daycare center. Uh fake names, well, real names, but no, no actual human in these in these buildings, right? You know. Uh so now are they going to go in and get these social security numbers, identify these people, and say, uh, have uh did you uh see any fraudulent activity in your bank account or with your 401k or anything like that? Are they gonna go in and and and notify these people that their social security number was being used or their driver's license, their birth certificate? Is that gonna happen? And if it does, and these people find out that, oh yeah, there was money stolen from me uh from up there somewhere, whatever, where wherever, excuse me, from or wherever, I still can't get rid of this cough, man. I've I've had this for freaking months for over a month. But that that's a concerning uh uh part of this too. And what's gonna happen here?

SPEAKER_15 36:35

Stolen social security numbers, people who don't exist. Sounds like a democratic voting registry.

SPEAKER_04 36:40

It does, yeah. It it sure does. It's you know that this is uh it's not unbelievable that it happened here, but it's unbelievable that it wasn't caught for me when Doge was in there. It's unbelievable that it got it got this far. Billions of dollars. It's not millions, billions with a B. Right. 12 million dollars this one facility was getting a year.

SPEAKER_15 37:07

Isolated in one area of one state. Right? That that you talk about a red flag when you're talking about billions and billions of dollars in uh one area of one state. How is that not you know what I mean? That's that that's like the uh that's like that's like the young drug dealer that that buys a Ferrari and and lives in the Bronx. Right. You know what I mean? Like how would how does that not attract attention?

Identity Theft, Daycare Funding, And Accountability

SPEAKER_04 37:31

Right. Now we've almost we almost had the most frickin' two incompetent frickin' people running our nation, Tim Wallace and Kamala Harris. Out of all of the options that Kamala Harris had to pick from to have her to run for VP with her, she picks the most frickin' idiotic, scummiest. He looks like a pedophile, frickin' weirdest son of a bitch that she could find. Or did the DNC find him? That's more like Walls have something on the DNC and say, Listen, I won't expose this if you make me her running mate.

SPEAKER_15 38:20

Why don't you go vice versa on that? That the DNC picked Tim Waltz because they knew he had all of these skeletons in his closet and that he would be malleable to do whatever they wanted. That's a possibility, too. It could go either way. Hey, listen, VP. Yeah, it could go either way. You back this play because we know about this shit that happened up in uh in Minneapolis. Yeah. Uh you know, back our play because we know all the dirty dealings that you've done, and we we can quietly expose that. Get in line. Yeah. So yeah, he was he was a malleable figure. The more dirt that you have, the easier you are to manipulate politically. Exactly. Yeah. So I think it's more of the DNC pulling the strings in the background.

SPEAKER_04 39:01

It could be. It could be, it could go either way. Yeah, I think so. And I think I don't know, Governor Shapiro was probably uh her best pick if he was if he wanted to run, but I don't think he wanted to run. Uh I don't think uh there was beef there too.

SPEAKER_15 39:17

I don't know if he read about uh some of the personal things that happened between him and her. And I I'll stand by what I said in a previous podcast that he I think he would have been a much stronger choice for VP, but the fact that he is of Jewish descent, that was an issue, created a serious problem, not for anti-Semitic reasons in the United States, as much as because I'm sure there was an element there too. But when you look outside the United States, the vice president does a lot of diplomatic stuff. Right. And uh I'm sorry there's going to be a culture clash if you have a Jewish vice president going to uh Muslim countries and trying to do deals. Right. That's not gonna work. And I also found that that ticket would have been a problem if you remember me saying, because uh Kamal Harris is a woman. Same reason. These are people that have no respect for women. And uh I thought that that would be a a real problem with our foreign policy.

SPEAKER_04 40:09

Yeah, yeah, it would be. It really would be. Uh but uh this fraud shit, it it really burns my ass. That that's my money, you know. Uh have you seen uh we we did had no plan on talking about this at all today. Have you seen any difference in a grocery store or at the gas pump or anywhere? As the gas pump, yes. The the the pump, yeah. I have seen it come down a little bit, but yet they're saying that all gas is still, or they're saying gas on average across the nation is what'd they say under three dollars, like two something, two seventy-eight or something.

SPEAKER_15 40:50

Not here. Well, there's certain places in PA you could find it for I think the one the one place is uh Sam's Sam's Club was 288. Yeah. But we still have what is it? Uh our our taxes between federal and state are something like 53 cents a gallon. Yeah, yeah, it's high. Uh it's it's I believe it's second only or almost matching California, yeah, as far as the gas tax goes. We're the second highest. And unfortunately, and I I would I would love to sit here and and and scream, lefty Democrats did it to us, but it was signed into effect by a Republican governor in a three-tier plan. Yeah. And uh uh he left us with that.

SPEAKER_04 41:25

That was Corbett. These, yeah, yeah. But the these prices, though, the this they went up the uh right when Katrina after Katrina they saw what was going on there and the refineries, and that's when these gas prices really went got out of hand, you know. And uh I don't know. I I see a little bit of a difference in the gas. I definitely see difference in the gas. Uh maybe a little bit at the grocery store, but uh nothing dramatic. No, you know, I I don't walk out of the grocery store with a giant smile on my face. No, no. I'm just spiking my figure, you know. My wife tells me, you know, prices are they're they're they evened off. Inflation's it's at a it's at a evil deal. It's holding, it's not going up or down.

SPEAKER_15 42:19

But uh but when you talk about the price at the pump, that's to me a bit of a segue just to touch on what's going on with Venezuela right now. Yeah. Yeah, and the and the fact that that the president has President Trump has has very openly said, hey, we're gonna sell Venezuelan oil and we're gonna profit from it. So is Venezuela, right? But so are we, right? And you know, there's a lot of people that uh that are like oh my god, more oil, you know, that's all you care about.

SPEAKER_04 42:48

Yeah, you're goddamn right it is the world revolves around oil, revolves around that that black tar, that gold.

SPEAKER_15 42:56

Exactly. And and and I I I could pay what I pay for eggs as long as I could fill up my massive truck cheaper. Yeah. And I I I I'm sorry, I have no moral qualm about that.

SPEAKER_04 43:08

Well, I would say I used to put uh about$125 a week in my vehicle to get back and forth from work, and I'm down to about$100 or about$60 some dollars. Nice. Yeah, I will say that it's gas has come down, that's for sure. But we that was a perfect segue into Venezuela. Uh what's your thoughts on this? Uh uh my my main concern is it's not a concern really, it's more of uh when we look at uh Maduro. Um we went in there, we took out a leader of a country, self-proclaimed. Self-proclaimed. Yeah, he wasn't elected. And we look at all of the protests that happened here, especially in Manhattan, uh about him being removed. And when I looked at these protests, and I'm looking and I'm watching, and it wasn't just from one channel, it was from three, maybe five channels, different different media outlets. I did not see not one. Not one. I'm sorry, but it's just a fact. Not one black person, not one Venezuelan in the streets protesting against that.

SPEAKER_15 44:40

You're not gonna see a whole bunch of Venezuelans protesting what we did against Maduro, right? As a matter of fact, but you're gonna see them cheering that he's gone.

SPEAKER_04 44:48

Right, but here's my here's my question. Why is it that you only see white people in the streets protesting against that removal of a dictator? When I say a dictator, he's a dictator. Oh, yes, he is. But you have people here that that say that Trump is a dictator and they want him removed, but yet they want to let that dictator in that country stay in office. Okay. Explain that to me.

SPEAKER_15 45:20

First of all, uh the white folks that are protesting have time. Uh I don't know how else to put it. Uh they've they've they've kind of got nothing else to do. They're ill-informed. And that that's that's symptomatic of America, too, by the way. I I told you off mic a story and I'm gonna repeat it. Um I was having a conversation about the fact that we went and we took out Maduro with one of my friends, and his girlfriend said he she she called him Menjaro. Yeah, didn't even know who the hell he was. Didn't know who he was. It says, okay, you're you're confusing a dictator with an injectable drug to help you lose weight. That's that's great. Welcome to America. Was she large? Idiocracy. Was she large? No, that's the funny part. I guess she just watches a lot of daytime TV and stuff.

SPEAKER_02 46:14

I'll tell you what, I'm putting some pounds on.

ICE Confrontations And Use Of Force

SPEAKER_15 46:15

I don't want to talk about it anymore. Just let me finish my cheesecake and get through this point. Um getting fat. But no, uh uh the the the people that are protesting in the streets largely are are are people who are going to be unhappy with anything Trump does. It's a massive anti-Trump contingent. It's a hate thing. Just for that man alone. That's all it is. A lot of the people have no idea uh uh what we did, who we did it to. A lot of people are ignorant of the fact that um he lost an election and refused to leave office. Now, what was the main thing that Democrats were scared of when Trump lost that election? He's not going to concede power. He's gonna and now they're okay with somebody who refused to concede power and continued to oppress his nation and dreadfully mismanage the economy to the point where people are starving down there.

SPEAKER_04 47:11

Well, I think he's managing the economy just fine, but he's managing it just fine for himself. Not Maduro. Maduro. Oh, I see what you mean. Okay, for himself.

SPEAKER_15 47:20

Yeah, so for his own benefit. Something else that we did um uh the Department of Justice issued a warrant, I want to say it was 2020, and a uh cash reward for the arrest of Maduro five years ago. Yeah. Um basically what we did is we went in and we exercised a warrant. Yeah. And forcibly extradited someone uh who has been indicted as a criminal and a terror narco-terrorist.

SPEAKER_04 47:51

That was that that was Obama. Was it who put that warrant out? That Obama or Biden?

SPEAKER_15 47:57

I want to say it was Biden. Yeah, I guess it's I think it started with 20 million and then they upped it to 50 million for leading to his arrest, which I think is hysterical. Okay, anything you could do leading to his arrest, and I'm just imagining some poor Venezuela pointing to him and trying to make a phone call. That's not how this works, that's not how any of it works. But uh, you know, and there there were there were plans in effect to uh to capture Maduro before this, whether we were working with uh, I think I think it was one of his pilots that uh heard that, yeah. Yeah, talking to the CIA and the DOJ and basically saying, okay, when we when we get him outside of sovereign territory, when we land, he could swoop in and he he finally realized what side his bread was buttered on and didn't want to wake up dead. Right. So he reneged on that. So we basically went in, we served, we we served a warrant and we forcibly extradited a an indicted narco-terrorist. That's what we did with Maduro. We did it with minimal damage, minimal loss of life. We had nothing. And on our end, we had nothing. Opinions vary as to how many Venezuelans were hurt or killed, and I don't know what to believe. Uh once again, I don't know. I I didn't see no numbers on anything like that. But yeah, it it and the whole narco-terrorist thing, not to not to get off on a rant here, but every time I see one of those boats getting blown up, I laugh and laugh and laugh. It's a fishing boat. Sure. And I'm a supermodel. Yeah, it's a fishing boat.

SPEAKER_02 49:22

All right, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 49:25

That's something there too. I just don't get, I don't understand about how you can sit there and you can you could be okay with these people in Indianapolis, these illegals, these rapists, or Minneapolis, sorry, these these rapists, these murderers, these criminals. You're okay with them in your streets walking around, and you want to abolish ice, and you want to abolish uh police force, but they would be the first ones you call if that was your daughter or son that got kidnapped or murdered or or sexually assaulted. The authorities would be the first ones you call. Also, my call your uncle?

SPEAKER_15 50:14

My social media, well, back in the day you called Smith and Wesson, but whatever. But you uh uh my my my social media feed is chock full of all the atrocities that ICE is doing. And what it shows it shows them in the middle of dragging somebody out of a car, it shows them in the middle of detaining somebody with a knee in their back, it shows them uh there's a screen of women up to that, right? And then you have you also have the ignorance of people who are saying, Well, they're not police. No, but they are federal agents. And if you impede a federal agent, you are going to get taken down. Yeah. Um and again, it's the noise, it's it it's it's it's the loudness of it. There's scream. The one woman I saw was screaming, I'm disabled, I'm autistic. You're you're driving a car around, which clearly shows that you have and you you knew enough to block ice and refuse to move. They don't show the 10 minutes leading up to it where the ice agents are screaming, get out of the car, move the vehicle, get out of the car, do something. And they ignore it. All they show is they took out the window, they drug her out, and she's screaming that she's I don't know, a leper. I don't, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 51:29

You know, let's play this clip here. Uh I want to play this. Uh, this is uh the sheriff up there. Uh there it is here. Bear with me, bear with me.

SPEAKER_15 51:45

I'm getting there. I hope this isn't the one that burst into tears and talking about ISIS activity. No, I don't think uh here.

SPEAKER_16 51:54

I've been asked by the outlet and several people in the comment on the curry and the outlet yesterday. Let me make one thing about that.

SPEAKER_03 52:05

This was last week.

unknown 52:07

You have to be accountable for your combat. I think I'll do that. Yesterday that people not only of the city in the state, but across the nation. Shame on you.

SPEAKER_16 52:30

That's a lack of professionalism. Now, what's what video of that?

SPEAKER_15 52:35

That's what we need right there in this country. And this is Sam comment and uh commenting on the event of the woman who struck the ice agent with her car. The ice agent put a bullet in her and she died. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 52:46

Now, I'm sure you watched a video. I'm sure all of America watched that video. 27 angles. Yep. And it's just no doubt that car, depending on what angle you look at it from, was heading for that ice officer.

SPEAKER_15 53:05

And that ice officer had had a previous previous experience where he had been hit and drugged by a car.

SPEAKER_04 53:10

Six weeks prior to that, to this incident here. Uh yeah, he uh got drugged 300 feet, I believe, or 150 feet, something like that.

SPEAKER_15 53:22

Enough to make it memorable.

SPEAKER_04 53:24

Right. So, you know, and and all they want to do is condemn, condemn this guy for it's murder. It's murder, it's murder, it's not murder. When you're put in a position like that, and and and you have to make a decision in a millisecond, and he made his decision, right? And he was hit, he had internal bleeding. Uh, how bad? I don't know. Uh, I I don't even think there's any reports on it.

SPEAKER_15 53:55

But again, you're dealing with a with a with a weapon in excess of one ton. And and and he had had experience in that before. And now uh one of one of my favorite things that happened is he after he got off his shots, he muttered the words fucking bitch. Well, I would have said the same thing. Listen, uh somebody cuts into my lane. I say that. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? That that is what's called a human response.

SPEAKER_04 54:25

What bothers me about the whole thing is they get these videos and they go frame by frame by frame to try to find out what this officer did wrong. Well, that officer didn't get to pause life and go second by second by he had to make an instantaneous decision on what to do. Uh did this woman deserve to die? No, nobody deserves to die. Uh but she was wrong. Yeah. She was wrong. And so was her idiot wife. Yeah. And her idiot wife is the one who told her to drive away. Drive, baby, drive, drive, baby drive. And she drove. And this is what happens.

Venezuela, Oil, And Dictators

SPEAKER_15 55:11

Um by the way, an interesting aside, well, interesting to me anyway, what you just pointed out. We've pointed out in the past about a totally different topic. They sat there and they watched the footage frame by frame by frame, looking for ways to kind of tear down the officer and what he did. Right. What a remarkable similarity to the safety department of almost every trucking company when something goes wrong. They have the luxury of watching that footage. Right. Ad nauseum, going frame by frame by frame. Well, this driver was clearly picking his nose 20 minutes before the incident. And and and there's if if you look hard enough, any thing, you will find something that doesn't add up a hundred percent. But like you said, in that moment, you're dealing with split-second life and death decisions. Right. And uh that similarity just struck me.

SPEAKER_04 56:04

I know it's a it's it's apropos of nothing, but not to get on my accident, but my well, I got an accident on the 2nd of December. And uh this woman, it was snowing out, my lane was clear pretty much. The left lane was snow covered, and I saw her come flying behind me. She was a good, I don't know, quarter mile behind me. She lost control a little bit. I saw her, so I I was I was only going maybe 40 at the at the most, 40 miles an hour, and all of a sudden she's gone. I see another car back there, but it's not her. Then all of a sudden, I see her whip out from behind me. She gets in the left lane again, and she loses control again, takes out my cab, she spins out, she gets in front of me, and I just kept it in my lane, and I hit her, and I pushed her for, I don't know, maybe 50 yards, maybe a hundred yards, I don't know. But there was nothing in that video that they could have looked back and said that I did something wrong. Nothing. That doesn't mean they didn't try. They tried, of course, but there was nothing because I did exactly what I was told. Keep it in your lane, don't try to change like, and that's what I did. That that that was it. There's no disputing anything. But these people, frame by frame by frame, until they can find something wrong to blame who they want to blame, right? Whether it's the right person or not, or to shift blame, shift blame, right?

SPEAKER_15 57:44

Her her actions that woman's actions in that car, and uh, I don't think anybody could argue that they were wrong, even leading up to it. The reason she was in that position is because she had positioned her car to block ice agents, and not to mention she was following them around all morning, right? And not to mention that she was there for a specific purpose. This is a woman who lived in Colorado, yeah, made a trip out there to be part of this. Yeah. Guess what? This is this isn't a trip going to Woodstock for peace and love. With children at home. Oh, yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_04 58:20

Ignore the responsibilities of the mother. Yeah. So it it's it's a crazy, crazy freaking world out there. It it really is. Um but the the one the the the the things that really bother me is is the fraud that's going on in Minnesota. And and I want to play, I'm gonna play one more clip. And this here really, really drives me freaking crazy. Well no, I'm gonna play two more. I have to do that. No, let's let's go with this clip here from Sean Hannity. We're gonna play this. And uh I I love this this uh this clip. It it's awesome. It it's a little lengthy, it's not too too bad, but just watch this clip. This is crazy, man.

SPEAKER_15 59:12

And the next thing is.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:24

This guy looks like little Richard.

SPEAKER_16 1:00:27

That's a guy.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:31

Oh, you look at this clip. You got the whole so would you say he looks a little tooty fruity? He's uh yeah, he's out. This guy's out there.

SPEAKER_15 1:00:48

Um and this is why Rand on my land line. Uh the leader Kamei over there authorized the Wi-Fi. This guy's dumbfounded.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:59

We didn't expect that everyone's talking to my own. There's myriad reasons for the purpose.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:09

I love Hannity. I do. He doesn't hold back that he's relentless.

SPEAKER_14 1:01:14

Wait, is that just the I talked in my own? That's not for the same thing.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:19

Um Iran's always been kind of total.

SPEAKER_15 1:01:23

This is what bothers me. Let's play this real quick here, too. Let's play this one very quick. Yeah, and they have been varying from the numbers that I've read. Reporting 5,000 dead two reported 40. Now, anywhere in that arc from five to twenty thousand possible amount of dead. Exaggering, exaggerated.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:47

That's it. Yeah, yeah. It's gone. I don't know what the hell I did with that later. And um, here it is, but this is what we're looking at.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:58

Recognize that his monitor shop is a deck. I mean, obviously, this is important, and and looking at this as a someone who was a husband and a father, and in the days after his shocking death that happened as a result of his views or or happened to be sharing his abuse publicly with people, did people find it right to hear such criticism of that in the immediate aftermath? Um what I what I find.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:32

That they want to be to honor him, and that they want to produce resolutions in the House of Congress.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:39

All right, that's enough of that. I want to make a point here. And it it's the point I want to make is I don't believe and and I'll say this until I go to my grave if you were born in this country, you should not hold an uh an uh a government office, especially on a federal level. Because this is the shit that happens. What we're seeing now in Minneapolis, but it's uh basically all all the protests that has been going on pretty much around the country, is because we let uh foreigners that don't they don't respect our culture, our laws, our way of life, uh and they get in office and they want to try to change things and they start changing out false narratives, false rhetoric, false information, not saying I'm not telling you the whole truth. It would not be deterred this right here with Omar, that is a perfect example shows that they are very effective. When young people, says a lot of change is the culture of America. And she is totally against that record. So if you're against it, if you want to bring your culture from your country here to override our culture, is it a good idea? Why did you come here? Go back and try to live the way that you want to live. Don't try to change the way we live.

Immigration, Assimilation, And Representation

SPEAKER_15 1:04:26

Well, the whole concept of legal legal immigration is much much better than embracing just the culture laws, right, trying to get it, and the way of life. That's why we have your adopted country and the country that's allowing you to become part of it. Now, one of the problems that I see uh with um immigrants coming in and getting elected yourself in a culture is there's at certain times not all of them because there's not not all immigrants are like this who get elected into office, uh, but with some, especially with that one, it's to bring John Omar. There was an undeniable and unmistakable bias towards her countrymen at the expense of the show, the people that she's supposed to be representing.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:17

What she's representing is a smallion. So there's a lot of district.

SPEAKER_15 1:05:22

I guarantee you there's a couple of not many, but still she's she's ignoring them. She's supposed to represent her. And I guarantee you if you're also messy. I won't even I won't even win. I won't even military if you're if you're like we were with the from any other culture aside from Somali. I think that she's giving you those constituents short shrift because she's only focused on laser we are not and cannot be able to do that.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:48

Well, the left is giving now if people want to their constituents uh the short end of the thing about the body count as they should because it's appalling. What have they done? Where's the United Nations? What have they done significantly or 12 years? Many of whom are that really theocracy of all Muslim American people could get this a little bit transgender, not just for men, except for not just for Somalians, not just for Muslims. What have they done for all of the American people?

SPEAKER_15 1:06:24

Significant somebody prior to previous experience has shown something significant whenever they get involved in any kind of a peacekeeping mission or anything like that.

SPEAKER_12 1:06:33

Yeah, that's that's kind of a rough one.

SPEAKER_15 1:06:35

It's like their main term, I guess I describe them as Ken dolls.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:38

This culture war they kind of sit down. That's what it is, that is what we have in this country right now. Yeah, exactly. It's not a good situation at all, period. Um if you want to benefit if the if it is a bee in the Western Hemisphere and uh and if you want like uh and you are the mayor of Indianapolis and you want that to be a sanctuary city, and you want to house these criminals and these scumbags that that are against the American way of life. If we do this tone things down a bit, are we? Let's make you your own country and you sustain yourself in that region and you keep all the people in your in your country. Let's say that's and don't be a part of America. No funding, no nothing, no defense, no nothing. That's it. That's what you want, that's what you got.

SPEAKER_15 1:07:44

Is it going to be there's also such a clear cut where the difference between the way that is this going to be a very important thing to do? Liberal Democrats think and uh most people, you don't even have to be super conservative. Afghanistan is in there on one side, make America great again, now all of these are the same.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:04

And on the other side, America that don't want their own.

SPEAKER_15 1:08:08

And that's definitely the way that liberal democrats come across, but both the leadership and the rank and file, it's an ugly opinion. America, you you you interview, I I see so many interviews on social media where callous asshole they stick a microphone some sometimes 22, 23 year olds' face.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:25

Yeah, right. Is America the greatest country?

SPEAKER_15 1:08:28

It could get messy, it could get bloody. Well, where else would you go? Uh button's it's like it's it's almost like they're comfortable saying it with nothing to base it off of. And one of the reasons why there is that's an uprising. And meanwhile, they're they're they're fine-tuning America to be something worse than what it is now. I'm sorry, I don't want to live like a Somali. I don't want to live like I'm in Mexico. There's a reason why there's so many people trying to get out of Mexico around in Iran. Guess what? You're gonna trump use the term shithole and got a lot of grief. It's like hitting a horn in this. Is there any whether they know exactly why you make a true statement than not look at some of these places that we're trying to adapt to things on the ground, the Muslim nation and where you wouldn't even want to visit there? You want to have a layover there for 20 minutes. So I I don't I don't want my country to reflect the palace. I want my country to be welcoming in a legal sense of the word. Do on our own. But I also want it to be made clear, like like we were talking about in four. If you're going to come to this country and embrace it for all that it has to offer quite a bit, why are we? You gotta leave your country behind. You don't have to forget your language, you don't, but uh you have to adapt to the melting pot the culture.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:51

And you know, it's the same thing when I went from driving a motorcoach to the city. I had to leave that behind. You know what I mean? I had to get that out of my head one way or another because I was following too many of their coming there that way. And driving on the 45-foot motor coach to is on the two foot control politicians. Right. It was hard to do. That's you know, because it might be culture in a way. And these people don't want to. I'm hoping that the lessons that we learned in the early 1990s. I I'm sorry. Saudi Arabia's on the ground. What did it do? Our country needs a starting terrorist organization and tick because of our made our countryable.

SPEAKER_15 1:10:37

We didn't think um 250 years ago. I think that I think that there's and this this might be we we a fault of Trump's. Uh how do I want to say the good guy? He wants to be the white knight. He does. Yeah. Well, guess what?

SPEAKER_04 1:10:55

As what uh we see we came together as one. We we noticed we defined a certain culture, a certain way of life. I don't want to get out of that. That is the way we've been attempting her for the past 250 years. Now all of a sudden, people want to come in here and try to change that. They have the right to change that. What's the problem? So why are we allowing why is our federal government allowing these people right now to do what they're doing?

SPEAKER_15 1:11:23

Now all of a sudden people will also scream loudly, and this will be like I said, everybody from leadership. Immigration immigrants built America. Yeah, they did. But there was also a system in place. Right. It's just there was Zell As Island, there was Czechs and going on. Uh there was also a want on the part of the immigrants that were coming over to blend in to become Americans. There was a pride legal and you know, it's not the way it is right now. You go to Little Italy, and Giuseppe the father would smack little Anthony in the back of the head if you caught him speaking Italian, speaking English. Yeah, you know, acclimate. Um there's not there's none of that anymore. Everybody who comes in wants to turn their household into uh a microcosm of where they came from. Somebody's gotta get a great stuff. That's that's not how immigration in America works. That's that's not how what you said 200-250 years ago. We had a country full on up there. Oh guess what? We're we're about to hold up the vacancy sign here because there's no need for expansion, there's no need for uh population growth for the most part. Um it's a different story now. The the reasons for immigration are vastly different than they were back then.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:43

It is, and uh you know, we talk about expansion. Why did they allow this to happen? It it's a perfect segment in exactly what happened in Minnesota. Yeah.

SPEAKER_15 1:12:56

Uh Somali and Richards were allowed in. What do you think were to have a real and uh hatred it was for me, essentially. Because uh the way that this has been portrayed is largely the way that this is portrayed is our batshit and integration wants to take over Greenland from out of nowhere. Okay, that's not the case. Yeah, uh, the United States has been strategically acted on the 1940s in a better situation than for military purposes than others. And it worked, I think. That's the first off for that look like that. Yeah, like it was laid out by Greenland. Right. That shit. Greenland is controlled by uh Denmark, if I'm not mistaken. It looks like the old uh you know, the old joke says nobody likes the uh you also have a governor who is but they're of course they're gonna hold on to it. Greenland is a is a frozen chunk of nothing. Turning a blind eye.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:54

It is, but strategically in the hot sea right now. It's got a lot of the Western hemisphere right now.

SPEAKER_15 1:14:04

Uh obviously, and for decades, for decades and decades, there have been uh bases, military bases on Greenland. There has been, right? For treaties learning about money that's changed. So this is nothing new. I love how it's being reported that out of nowhere, this this this maniac wants to take over Greenland. It's strategically important for decades.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:29

Maybe just 13 soldiers that Germany sent over here, we'll defend Greenland.

SPEAKER_15 1:14:33

Yeah, but that's what they said. That's what you might think. And I'm willing to bet that those 13 soldiers were on like a punishment rotation. You know what I mean? They were the badass when we go to Greenland. They have Franz, Franz, not only Johan and Samar.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:48

Get over here, but we're putting out all of this that are, you know, they're manipulating now to get free shit if this goes through. And what pisses me off about the whole thing. I kind of think it's going to. I think it's a long shot, but I think it's going to. Uh how does this change there? I think it'd be pretty close. The demographics of I'll just give a roundabout number. How we how we are as a nation now in California. If we do take over, it's like a land grab almost? Yeah. Three million. Yeah.

unknown 1:15:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:23

Um, that's pretty land grab. Why is my federal dollars going there? California. We put military in there. Yeah. Why can't Governor news call it? It's like uh what do you call Greenland now? Greenland of the United States, America. Freedom Land. Or is it going to be like uh it's the rest of the uh where we purchase financing his uh the Virgin Islands? No, it's gonna be the same. I think that's probably the way it's gonna be going on in the case. Pretty much the same thing.

SPEAKER_15 1:15:57

To give you an example, my father 77 years old. Is there any oil he's gonna work all his life now the right thing? He's eligible for snap range. So I signed them up for him. Right.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:10

And uh from a military perspective, that's that's strategic too.

Greenland’s Strategic Value

SPEAKER_15 1:16:17

Meanwhile, there's people with grocery cards overflowing it definitely. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:24

It's it's you know, now luckily my father didn't buy an outsweeding poverty for him, but what I'm saying is like somebody who actually I don't think you do anything with it. All of his paid in uh$17. Yeah. And and Denmark really is going to be the the one pushing against the process. Yeah. Uh now they didn't they didn't say a very tiny country, they don't want to lose more real estate. But I mean, it's gonna be how beneficial is it going to be for the United States if you take away the hundred and eighty-eight dollars from a military standpoint. You take that away a family of three. Is it gonna be beneficial in any other capacity? More than that, we I don't know.

SPEAKER_15 1:17:06

Sure, but like for the most part of Greenland's barren wasteland. Right. How many people it's it's like I was joking around with four. I would think that any military you were in the military. If you heard you were growing the Greenland, you would probably consider it to be punishment duty.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:23

Well, I volunteered to go to Alaska. That's my first different, but it's still the freaking conduct. It really is, you know. If we don't I don't know what other benefit we would have if uh we did our deserving, actually take that country over. And how would it work as far as uh from a government standpoint? They have they still have their own government in Minnesota, but everywhere else, you know. So let's say that Trump tomorrow how it would work. Like uh, you know, I don't know.

SPEAKER_15 1:17:58

Welfare fraud is all deep in every state if they would filter out those who are defrauding the state. Or at least real line body, you'd be checking through the massive amounts of money with no work. Uh maybe getting less than a lot of people. It's a crazy freaking world out there. That's how it is. Right. Let's say that he digs and this person digs deep and filters through civil war, all of this happening again. Fraud or abuse. And I would I would immediately blame the for a certain amount of the media. Oh the media is so that would be screaming racism. The way that that's part of the problem. Correct. You know, like you're not going to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:44

We live in an entitlement culture. I was going to do a podcast on uh what's going on over there. That's good.

SPEAKER_15 1:18:51

Yeah, we live in an entitlement culture. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:56

That's the problem.

SPEAKER_15 1:18:57

But entitled people get loud here. And loud people get. One is, like you just said, is maybe 50% of the other 50% is painful thing trying to read out waste and you're just trying to hurt people. I mean, when are we going to deliver? When is somebody gonna dig down into the actual dirt? Dig down into the dirt of the bio administration with auto pen and stuff like that. Uh where's Doge? When are they gonna really drill down and see what's going on?

SPEAKER_04 1:19:21

Why wasn't Doge looking into that's old news? Now how much of this was these all these days.

SPEAKER_15 1:19:28

All of it was auto pen, like all of the stuff all of the stuff that was signed by Auto Pen, uh, sended now because the guy who was making the decisions had tapioca for brains.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:40

And I know why all these um these pardons they all had to be signed with the in the back of the face of the people that got pardoned. Round 'em up. He had them up because his judge were taking such a beating. So his time was judged anymore. He's only allowed to be in that position. I think days.

SPEAKER_11 1:20:01

Oh, there's plenty of people.

SPEAKER_15 1:20:03

Like he he could still stay on his own. The January Sixers have been pardoned. He could, yeah, right.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:08

But right cycle, because of the amount of because of what he just talked about.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:14

You're just what we wanted to talk about. If you talk about what you want to discuss is a couple things that make the horse suffer even more really quickly. If you want to keep going on the topics that we've been talking about, keep it.

SPEAKER_15 1:20:26

And he literally said to me when he gave one of his speeches in the whole market thing. I have businesses to run. I have to step out. The Trump administration has decided to enforce the laws because crack down this 1930s. Right. That you have to have a working knowledge of English both that we can read in order to have a commercial driver's license and driver. No, giving the cat in the hat by Dr. Sheps to read. I don't know the veracity of all of these stories, but there definitely is a crackdown half of the thing. Because then we have a question if you could govern Walt read or speak English driving a truck on the road, how the hell creates your CDL now?

SPEAKER_04 1:21:20

Because the test is English being investigated. This law put into place, I believe it was a night center, so now there's some kind of transportation thing going on there. It's been a while. They don't exist. Now that it's being enforced, what you said before, everybody wants to claim racism and and uh all that stuff. Uh but at the same time, you know, I when I got in my accident, that woman did not speak English. Very, very, very little. Very little. Here we go. The only word out of her mouth when I walked back there to see if she was okay it's your fault. Google Translate probably helped her work that one out when you were walking back in the camera. Although I had, you know, two cameras on the truck. I had a witness and whatever. And you know that bitch she got uh 10 grand out of that deal. Oh yeah. Yeah, because it's cheaper to pay out than it is to take through the person.

SPEAKER_15 1:22:29

But the the stories that I see that drive me insane. I drove 10 years safely and then I lost my CDL because I couldn't read the cat in a hat. I drove 20 years and a million miles safely, but I lost my CDL because I couldn't read the cat in a hat. You had between 10 and 12 years to learn basically. They were all right. After 10 or 20 years, you think you would have absorbed a lot of it just because of the surroundings by two is did you take a warehouse in the microcosm of your home country and never bother to learn English, which ties back into what we were talking about before. And so you know, you had 10 or 20 years.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:11

Figure it out fascism, figure out English. I got in a discussion with a fellow driver about it. They weren't screaming that beforehand quite a bit. And you say, Oh, this guy's been driving some years here. He's been on an accident, he is you know okay English. But I think I don't think he should do the whole scenario for right now. Well, why doesn't he be in English? What's gonna happen to these people? That's my question. And then again, he's gonna be able to do that. Are they gonna get deported? That's my that's what I want to know. You know, spend time in jail. Uh what's gonna happen if these podcasts are not? The people that got um almost two years ago convicted of and with fraudulent DMB to recertify medical card. Uh next to me was three people spent time in jail. There's another three that was filling out guilt an application on a computer to get a CD patient or parole, whatever. They were all white on a computer. So I know I'm sound racist here, but it is what it is. So why wouldn't these people that the worker at the DMV held accountable for what you wrote then and there and cannot just give them a slap on the wrist CDL?

SPEAKER_15 1:24:29

And again, this isn't rich going into the DMV and pointing out everybody and saying that they all claims they're less than all Americans. This is nothing more to do with that. This is nothing to do with that.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:40

It's the right law because since the fifth group you know, uh a lot of times we might say parties just on here and we're against foreigners and elite. I don't think anybody agreed to the rafters when they were being repressed or that's it. Uh you know, the government was moving against them because it's kind of over the past different things. Uh quite a few. This is what happens to move into our area. You you're going to have somebody of a different skin color.

SPEAKER_15 1:25:05

You're going to have somebody of a different nation of origin, even though they are an American area lately.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:10

They're going to amplify the narrative that I'm being oppressed because of my skin color.

SPEAKER_15 1:25:16

I'm being oppressed.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:19

And what that does is helpful. They talk to you, you know. Change the narrative away from the fact that you're a goddamn criminal race. And that's why they say that stuff. And that's what it is. It's like poking them open. Right. Pretty much. I don't want it changed at all. Your continuity of our language. Yeah, it's the same. Now being able to look at Tim Walls with not just somebody behind Wheels of the Twitter, but your fellow criminal. He's been a criminal way things are going to be. He's very concerning. Claiming that. Claiming that, you know, he did all this shit. Tenement square. And he has done what's concerning me is nothing. Trump is not a good thing. What has he done towards his presidency? What has he done for the citizens of Minnesota? Other than what he turns coming. Has he done anything? Yeah, that's gonna speak volumes from what's extremely important. It's important for everybody. Waltz is doing the same thing. Democrats and Republicans.

SPEAKER_15 1:26:33

Instead of talking about what's going on, they're talking about their race, they're talking about their color, their their nation of origin, their immigration status, and using that to kind of like steer where do we go from the focus the way? Tim Walt is doing the same thing. Correct. What he's doing right now is everybody's attention off of this. Oh, a hell of a lot worse. But like one of the things I said going on about fraud in Somali. Even on this podcast, is that Democratic movement? Look at how terrible IC is. Right. Ice race. That is something we're focused on the ability to do remote. And having Republican initiators will lose votes instead of looking at the fellow Republicans, which is his ass and all one thing or another. They might lose one or two, but he's got a microphone and he's got it. And that's something that Republicans have really willing to listen to and make the grasp. Oh, he knows.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:32

Cool, you got dropped out of the next one. Before shit can get hairy.

SPEAKER_15 1:27:37

Get your act together. We even have a few jumpers from the Democrats at Fetterman, who I've never I've never been able to say that it's joking anybody good, but Fetterman seems to be doing a hell of a lot better as far as his thinking goes.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:51

Because uh, Art Bell's balls bad on his podcast when he had Billy had his uh issues there. Billy if everybody's gonna cost people around, he's just talking about it.

SPEAKER_15 1:28:03

It's gonna cost more money than how understandable and it's gonna cost money to properly because it's at some point once they identify Trump is a year in the world. All the people with interest, they're probably going to have to appoint a special proxy, many liberal tiers to come to dig deep.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:17

They are and put it in legally running and make it prosecutor. I don't know. That's a criminal shooter. If it's somebody like Gavin, you see, that's a nice word. Prosecutor is good.

SPEAKER_15 1:28:39

Quick, say something that we could put in the elephant of him with his own track record. It's almost like a dream to have a fortune. But when you're not going to be able to special prosecutors always sound like we know his track record. Until they get a lot of people. You could go back to the one that the one that investing a lot of people because it's a government contract.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:05

Right. They just know that he's the governor of California right now. And he has a podcast. The results are usually underwhelming. Right.

SPEAKER_15 1:29:15

Every special prosecutor I can think of, when they finally delivered their good-looking. The one against Trump was so underwhelming that I think they released about a week. So what you do is in the Republican National Committee. Is that a word? How many lives did we ruin? The Republican National Committee is bringing forward the other thing that the problems with with some of the things that we've got. You don't focus on bills that are passed. You don't want to say this. The way that they were burned because they want underbrush governmental names, right? And it's around a lot of costing people their homes and everything like that. And they can't recuperate insurance companies.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:10

And by the way, funding that they were organizing.

SPEAKER_15 1:30:17

That his bad decisions have led to. You don't focus on the policy. I don't think it takes$12 million to run a freaking daycare center. Somali and snacks, you could find out lying on the ground out there. But they were doing that they were stealing average voter identity of American citizens' books, many numbers, birth certificates, all of that stuff. Register people anywhere. Where did he go? Fake name real name.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:56

So now are they going to go in and get these social security numbers and identify these people? Did you uh see any fraudulent activity in your bank account with your 401k or anything like that? Are they going to go in and notify these people that our social security number was being used, their driver's license, their birth certificate? Six years now? Is that going to happen? And if it does, and uh she runs it, these people find out that oh yeah, there was much of data politics out here uh from up there somewhere, whatever. Wherever the way that uh excuse me, from or whatever. I still can't get rid of this cost down there. I've had a freaking month or over a month. But one that that's a concerning uh part of this, too. Because of uh what's gonna happen here. Mr. Bone Social Security numbers, people who don't exist. Sounds like a democratic voting registrict. It does fund it. It sure does. That bull it's you know this is uh they got uh it's not a billion dollars for that that it happened here. How many miles of track did it for that? Yeah, for millions. Six miles when you're gonna get those six miles. It's unbelievable that it got it got this farming uh billions of dollars. It's not millions, billions would be 12 million dollars.

SPEAKER_15 1:32:21

Isolated in one area one state. Where? Right? That that you talk about a red flag when you're talking about billions and billions of dollars.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:30

This uh mayor.

SPEAKER_15 1:32:31

How is that not Manhattan? You know what I mean? That's the that's like the uh young drug dealer that buys a Ferrari and lives in the Bronx. Right, you know what I mean? Like how does that not attract attention? Free buses, right? Free transportation.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:46

No, we've almost all of a sudden the most freaking tools incompetent to go up to freaking three dollars. Tim Wallace and Kamala Harris. Don't these didn't these people do the Kamala Harris had to pick from uh uh to run for VRP for any kind of transportation that is the most freaking does that chaotic?

SPEAKER_15 1:33:11

I also thought it was funny when they they were running some of his uh pedophile proposed ideas. Weirdest son of a bitch that she could find. Or she was just kind of quietly saying, you know, we're not gonna do that. That's more like Waltham. She was like, all right, this is I have to support him because he's the expose the liberals. She also can't just say why don't you go vice versa on that? Yeah, that the DNC and Waltz because they knew he had all of these skeletons in his closet and that he would be malleable to do whatever they wanted. That's possible. Go either way. Hey, listen, V, it can go either way. You can back this play because we know about the shit that happened up in uh in Minneapolis. Yeah. Uh you know, and back our play because we know all the dirty dealings that you've done, and we we can quietly expose that.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:02

How would this work out? Get in line. Yeah, so yeah, he was he was a malleable figure. But the more dirt that you have, um the easier to manipulate. So I think it's more of a DNC and the strength of the dirty. It could be great. It could be it could go either way. Yeah, and don't are all in front of anybody's name. I think I don't know if Governor Shapiro was probably uh her best bet. If he was if he wanted to run, but I don't think he wanted to run.

SPEAKER_15 1:34:27

You think I don't think uh there was beef there too. I don't know if there was read about uh some of the personal things that happened between him and her and I'll stand by what I said in a previous podcast in the house of the case. I think he would have been a much stronger choice for VP, but the fact that he is of Jewish descent created a serious problem, not for anti-Semitic reasons in the United States, as much as because I'm sure there was an element there too. But when you look outside the United States, the vice president does a lot of diplomatic stuff. Right. And uh I'm sorry, there's going to be a culture clash if you have a Jewish vice president going to uh Muslim countries and trying to do deals for that side of the war. And I also found that that ticket would have been a problem, if you remember me saying, because uh Kamal Harris is a woman. How about that? Same reason. For women before like the giant. I thought that that would be a real problem their foreign policy. Yeah, referring to it would be. It really would be. Venezuelan leader is Manjaro.

English For CDL And Enforcement

SPEAKER_04 1:35:27

But uh the this broad shit, yeah, it really burns my house. That's my money. Have you seen towards talking about this at all? Have you seen any difference in the grocery store or at the gas pump or anywhere that as the gas pump, yes. The pump, yeah. I have seen it come down a little bit. But yeah, they're saying that all gas is still have a tendency or not. They're saying gas on average across the nation. What did they say? Under three dollars like this something, two seventy-eight or something. Not here.

SPEAKER_15 1:36:03

Well, there's certain places in PA you could find it for one place to sound like that. Yeah, it was two eighty eight. But we still have what is it? Our taxes between federal and state are something like 53 cents a gallon. Yeah. If there's no time parties, it's I believe it's second only or almost matching California. We're the second highest. And unfortunately, and I I would love to sit here and screen what the Democrats did. That's by a Republican governor in a three-tier plan.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:35

So instead, and uh uh two parties, yeah, yeah. But these these prices that identify as Democrat or Republican. They went up to research more than Katrina after Katrina. And they saw what was going on there and the refineries, other than just that's when these gas prices got at it.

SPEAKER_15 1:36:57

And uh, I see a little bit of a difference in the gas. I definitely see difference in the gas of people.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:05

Uh maybe a little bit grocery store, but uh, nothing dramatic problems. We'll not address it. I don't walk out of the grocery store and try and smile on my chest to motivate themselves and educate themselves. At least the vague idea.

SPEAKER_15 1:37:20

My wife tells me gives them more knowledge than they even die.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:25

I think inflation's it's at a it's it's at a easy holding, it's not what's going on. But uh but when you talk about the price, why don't that just mean why do we have to do that?

SPEAKER_15 1:37:36

A bit of a segue just to touch on what's going on with Venezuela right now. Um and the and the fact that that the president has President Trump has has very openly said, hey, as far as we're gonna sell Venezuelan oil and we're gonna profit so is Venezuela. Right, but so are we right and there's a lot of people that uh that are like oh my god, more oil totally themselves on the issues. You're goddamn right. The world revolves around oil.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:06

Revolves around that that black tar, that gold. Exactly.

SPEAKER_15 1:38:11

I I could pay what I pay for eggs, as long as I could fill up my massive truck cheaper responsibility. I'm sorry, I have no moral qualm about that.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:21

Well, I will say that I used to be able to talk to people who want to talk about$25 a week in my vehicle back and forth from work and down to about sixty-something dollars about thinking like I do. I don't think you disagree with me. It's gas has come down. But we that was a perfect segue into Venezuela. Uh what's your thoughts on this?

SPEAKER_15 1:38:48

Uh yeah, I I my main concern is that. People are not motive, especially now.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:54

It's not a concern, really. It's more of uh there's no motivation whatsoever. We went in there, we took out the country to proclaim. Self-proclaimed to improve themselves and elected to educate themselves and look at all of the American protests that happened, especially in Manhattan. They want to hand it out about him. That's why I did that podcast last week on standards. And when I looked at these protests, I'm looking on them things, and it wasn't just from one channel, it was from our three, maybe five channels, different different media outlets. I did not see not one or not one for funding of an illegal thing. I'm sorry, but it's just fact. There's no not one black person, not one Venezuelan in the streets protesting against that. You're not gonna see a whole bunch of Venezuelans protesting what we did against Maduro, right? As a matter of fact, but you're gonna see. Right, but here's my question looking for interpretation of the the you'll only white people in the streets protesting against their removal of a dictator for a dictator. But it's a dictator. You have people here that say that Trump is a dictator. I mean, and they want him removed. They want to let that dictator in that country stay in office. Explain that to Andrew. The only way to do it. First of all, in the ultimate uh the white folks that are protesting have time. A lot of other podcasts out there.

SPEAKER_15 1:40:42

And uh I I I don't know how else to put it. They've kind of got nothing else to do. They're ill-informed. Yeah. And that that's that's symptomatic of America, too, by the way. I I told you off mic a story and I'm gonna repeat it. It's all turned violent. I was having a conversation about the fact that we went and we took out Maduro with one of my friends. Yeah, and his girlfriend said it's just she calls him Manjaro right now in our country, that's for sure. Didn't even know who the hell he was. Didn't know who he was. It says, okay, you're you're confusing a dictator with an injectable drug to help you lose weight. Oh come on. That's not being good. Welcome to America. Would you large? Idiocracy, would she large? No, that's the funny part. I guess she just watches a lot of daytime TV and stuff like that. I don't want to talk about it anymore. Just let me finish my cheesecake and get through this point. But no, uh the the people that are protesting in the streets largely are are are people who are going to be unhappy with anything Trump does. Yeah. It's a massive anti-Trump contingent. It's a hate podcast for just for that man alone. That's all it is. A lot of the people have no idea. That was the election. Uh uh. Who we did it to. Yeah. A lot of people are ignorant of the fact that um lost an election and refused to leave office. Now, what was the main thing that Democrats were scared of when Trump lost that election?

SPEAKER_11 1:42:10

He's not going to concede power. He's here.

SPEAKER_15 1:42:14

And now they're okay with somebody who refused to concede power to oppress his nation. Dreadfully mismanaged the economy to the point where people are starving down there.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:24

I think he's managing the economy just fine, but he's managing it just fine for himself. Not Maduro. Maduro. Oh, I see what you mean. Okay, for himself.

SPEAKER_15 1:42:33

For his own benefit. Something something else that we did. Um the Department of Justice issued a warrant. I want to say it was 2020 and a uh cash reward for the arrest of Maduro five years ago. Yeah. Yeah. Um that that's basically what we did is we went in and we exercised a warrant.

SPEAKER_14 1:42:54

That's also the way you gotta think now. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_15 1:42:56

And force forcibly extradited to talk about quick here. Someone uh who has been indicted as a criminal narco-terrorist.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:04

Was that that was Obama? Was it put that warrant out? Is that Obama or Biden? I want to say it was Biden.

SPEAKER_15 1:43:12

Yeah, because it's I think it started with 20 million and then they upped it to 50 million. Yeah. For the last leading to his arrest, which I think is hysterical. Yeah. Okay, anything you can do leading to his wrist, and then just imagining some horror things with like pointing to him and trying to make a phone call. That's not how this works, it's not how any of it works. But uh you know, and there there were there were plans in effect to uh to capture Maduro before this, where we were working with uh, I think I think it was one of his pilots. I mean also came with the CIA and the DOJ and basically saying, okay, when we when we get him outside of sovereign territory, when we land, he can swoop in, and he's also i he finally realized what side his bread was buttered on and didn't want to wake up dead. Right. So he reneged on that. So we basically went in, we served, we we served a warrant and we forcibly extradited a an indicted narco-terrorist. That's what we did with Maduro. We did it with minimal damage, minimal loss of life. We had nothing. And on our end, we had nothing. Opinions vary as to how many Venezuelans were herbicular. I don't know what to believe. Uh once again, I don't know. Uh I didn't see no numbers on anything like that. But yeah, it it in the whole narco-terrorist thing, not that not to get off on a rant here, but every time I see one of those boats getting blown up, I laugh and laugh and laugh. It's a fishing boat. Sure. And I'm a supermodel. Yeah, it's a fishing boat, alright. Yeah.

2026 Politics, Midterms, And Candidates

SPEAKER_04 1:44:38

That's something there too. I I just don't get I don't understand about how you can't sit there and you can for a large part what I you could be okay with with these people in Indianapolis, these illegals. And rapists, or Minneapolis, sorry, these these rapists, these murderers, these criminals. You're okay with them in your streets walking around, and you want to abolish ice and you want to abolish uh police force, but they would be the first ones you call if that was your daughter or son that got kidnapped or murdered or or sexually assaulted. The authorities would be the first ones you call. Also, my call your uncle?

SPEAKER_15 1:45:27

My social media well back in the day it called Smith and Wesson, but my uh food takes time for like 20 minutes one day. My social media feed is chock full of all the atrocities that ICE is doing, and what it shows it shows them in the middle of dragging somebody out of the car, it shows them in the middle of detaining somebody with a knee in their back. It shows them uh uh there's a screen of women that's saying, right. And then you have you also have the ignorance of people who are saying, Well, they're not police. No, but they are federal agents, and if you impede a federal agent, you are going to get taken down. Yeah. Um and again, it's the noise, it's it it it's it's the loudness of it. They're screaming. The one woman I saw was screaming, I'm disabled, I'm autistic. You're you're driving a car around, which clearly shows that you have capable. And you you knew enough to block ice and refuse to move. They don't show the 10 minutes leading up to it where the ice agents are screaming, get out of the car, move the vehicle, get out of the car, do something. And they ignore it. All they show is they took out the window, they drug her out, and she's screaming that she's I don't know, a leper. I don't I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:42

You know, let's play this clip here. Uh I want to play this. Uh this is uh the sheriff up there. The last time you were uh I think I think some shows after that, and that was it on my own. I've been so freaking busy. Bear with me. Bear with me. I'm getting there.

SPEAKER_15 1:47:00

I hope this isn't the one that burst into tears and talking about ICE's activity. No. Oh thank god.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:18

This was last week.

SPEAKER_16 1:47:46

Now let's watch that.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:47

That's what we need right there in this country.

SPEAKER_15 1:47:50

And this is him commenting commenting on the event of the woman who struck the ice agent with her car. The ice agent put a bullet in her and she died.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:58

Yeah. Now, I I I'm sure you watched a video. I'm sure all of America watched that video. 27 angles. Yep. And it's just no doubt that car, depending on what angle you look at it from, was heading for that ICE officer.

SPEAKER_15 1:48:18

And that ice officer had had a previous previous experience where he had been hit and drugged by a car.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:23

Six weeks prior to that to this incident here, uh, yeah, he uh got drugged 300 feet, I believe, or 150 feet, something like that. Enough to make it memorable. Right. So you know, and and all they want to do is condemn, condemn this guy for either it's murder, it's murder, it's murder, it's not murder. When you're put in a position like that, and and and you have to make a decision in a millisecond, and he made his decision. Right. And he was hit, he had internal bleeding. Uh how bad, I don't know. Uh I I don't even think there's any reports on it.

SPEAKER_15 1:49:08

But again, you're dealing with a with a with a weapon in excess of one ton. And and and he had had experience in that before. And now uh one of one of my favorite things that happened is uh he after he got off his shots, he muttered the words fucking bitch. Well, I just would have said the same thing. Listen, uh somebody cuts into my lane. I say that. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? That that is what's called a human response.

SPEAKER_04 1:49:38

What bothers me about the whole thing is they get these videos and they go frame by frame by frame to try to find out what this officer did wrong. Well, that officer didn't get to pause life and go second by second by he had to make an instantaneous decision on what to do. Uh did this woman deserve to die? No. Nobody deserves to die. Uh but she was wrong. Yeah. She was wrong. And so was her idiot wife. Yeah, and her idiot wife is the one who told her to drive away. Drive, baby, drive, drive, baby, drive. And she drove. And this is what happens.

SPEAKER_15 1:50:24

Um by the way, an interesting aside, well, interesting to me anyway, what you just pointed out, we've pointed out in the past about a totally different topic. They sat there and they watched the footage frame by frame by frame, looking for ways to kind of tear down the officer and what he did. Right. What a remarkable similarity to the safety department of almost every trucking company when something goes wrong. They have the luxury of watching that footage ad nauseum, going frame by frame by frame. Well, this driver was clearly picking his nose 20 minutes before the incident. And and and there's if if you look hard enough, you will find something that doesn't add up a hundred percent. But like you said, in that moment, you're dealing with split-second life and death decisions, right? And uh that similarity just struck me.

SPEAKER_04 1:51:17

I know it's a it's it's apropos of something, but not to get on my accident, but I got an accident on the 2nd of December. And uh this woman, it was snowing out, my lane was clear pretty much. The left lane was snow covered, and I saw her come flying behind me. She was a good, I don't know, quarter mile behind me. She lost control a little bit. I saw her swipe. I was I was only going maybe 40 at the at the most, 40 miles an hour, and all of a sudden she's gone. I see another car back there, but it's not her. Then all of a sudden I see her whip out from behind me. She gets in the left lane again, and she loses control again, takes out my cab, she spins out, she gets in front of me, and I just kept it in my lane, and I hit her, and I pushed her for, I don't know, maybe 50 yards, maybe a hundred yards, I don't know. But there was nothing in that video that they could have looked back and said that I did something wrong. Nothing. That doesn't mean they didn't try. They tried, of course. But there was nothing because I did exactly what I was told. Keep it in your lane, don't try to change like, and that's what I did. That that that was it. There's no disputing anything, but these people, frame by frame by frame, until they could find something wrong to blame who they want to blame, right? Whether it's the right person or not. Or to shift blame, shift blame, right?

SPEAKER_15 1:52:57

Her her actions, that woman's actions in that car, I don't think anybody could argue that they were wrong. Even leading up to it. The reason she was in that position is because she had positioned her car to block ice agents. And not to mention she was following them around all morning, and not to mention that she was there for a specific purpose. This is a woman who lived in Colorado. Yeah. Made the trip out there to be part of this. Yeah. Guess what? This this isn't a trip going to Woodstock for peace and love. With children at home.

Closing Thoughts And Listener Requests

SPEAKER_04 1:53:32

Oh, yeah, exactly. Ignored her responsibilities as a mother. Yeah. So it's it's a crazy, crazy freaking world out there. It it really is. Um but the the one the the the the things that really bother me is is the fraud that's going on in Minnesota. And and I wanna play, I'm gonna play one more clip. And this here really, really drives me freaking crazy. Well no, I'm gonna play two more. No, let's let's go with this clip here from Sean Hannity. We're gonna play this. And uh I I I love this this uh this clip. It it's awesome. It it's a little lengthy, it's not too, too bad, but just watch this clip. This is craziness. So would you say he looks a little tooty fruity? He's uh yeah, he's out this guy's out there. The worst ad joke every everyone's dumbfounded. He didn't expect us. I love Hannity. I do. He doesn't hold back, but he's relentless. That's not for anything. It it's not. And this is what bothers me. Let's play this real quick here too. Let's play this one here quick. Just a little bit on this clip here. Oh, what I do. There it is. What are we at here? I think I lost it. I don't know what the hell I did with that.

SPEAKER_00 1:57:14

I mean, obviously, this is a person and looking at this as someone who was a husband and a father, and in the days after it is a shocking death that happened as a result of his views, or or happened to be sharing his views publicly with people.

SPEAKER_01 1:57:34

What I what I find is that people willing to have that they agree with that, that they're willing to have monuments in him, that they want to bring the thing to honor him, and that they want to produce resolutions in the House of Congress.

SPEAKER_04 1:57:52

All right, that's enough of that. I want to make a point here. And it it's the point I want to make is I don't believe, and and I'll say this until I go to my grave, if you weren't born in this country, you should not hold an uh uh an uh a government office, especially on a federal level. Because this is the shit that happens. What we're seeing now in Minneapolis, uh all all the protests that has been going on pretty much around the country, is because we let foreigners that don't they don't respect our culture, our laws, our way of life, and they get in office and they want to try to change things, and they start changing they or they they they start uh uh putting out false narratives, false rhetoric, false information, not saying or not telling the whole truth. And this right here with Omar, that is a perfect example of not respecting our culture, because pretty much what Charlie Kirk was says a lot of is the culture of America, and she is totally against it. So if you're against it and you want to bring your culture from your country here to override our culture, why did you come here? Go back and live the way that you want to live. Don't try to change the way we we live.

SPEAKER_15 1:59:39

Well, the whole concept of legal, legal immigration is not is embracing the culture laws, right, and and and the way of life. That's why we take your adopted country and the country that's allowing you to become part of it. Now, one of the problems that I see. uh with um immigrants coming in and and getting elected is there's at certain times not all of them not not all immigrants are like this who get elected into office but with some and especially with that one yeah there was an undeniable and unmistakable bias towards her countrymen right at the expense of the people that she's supposed to be representing that are from this country representing is the Somalians up there that's all that's in her district I guarantee you there's a couple of white people you know not many you know not many but still that she's she's ignoring them she's supposed to represent everybody right right and I guarantee you if if if you're I won't even I won't even say I won't even limit it to white if you're if you're uh from any other culture aside from Somali I think that she's giving those constituents short shrift because she's only focused like a laser on her own people.

SPEAKER_04 2:01:01

Well the left is giving the cons their constituents uh the short end of the stick too because what have they done what have they done significantly over the past 12 years that really is beneficial for all of the American people not just for transgender not just for for illegals not just for Somalians not just for Muslims what have they done for all of the American people significant that you could think of something significant nothing yeah that's that's kind of a rough one right there it's like their main focus is this culture this culture war and that's what it is that's that is what we have in this country right now it's not a good situation at all period and you know it's like if if you want to be uh in the western hemisphere and you want and you are the mayor of Indianapolis and you want that to be a sanctuary city and you want to house these criminals these these scumbags that that are against the American way of life well let's do this let's make you your own country and you sustain yourself and you keep all the people in your in your country and don't be a part of America no funding no nothing no defense no nothing that's it that's what you want that's what you got there's also such a clear cut difference between the way that liberal democrats think and most people you don't even have to be super conservative and and and the difference is on one side make America great again and on the other side America ain't shit.

SPEAKER_15 2:03:20

That's that's and that's definitely the way that liberal democrats come across but both the leadership and the rank and file voter America you you interview I I see so many interviews on social media where uh they stick a microphone in some 22 23 year old's face right is America the greatest country in the world oh no well where else would you go? Uh yeah right right it it's it's like it's it's it's almost like they're comfortable saying it with nothing to base it off of that's yeah that that's a problem and meanwhile they're they they're fine-tuning America to be something worse than what it is now I'm sorry I don't want to live like a Somali I don't I don't want to live like I'm in I'm in Mexico there's a reason why there's so many people trying to get out of Mexico right you know uh Trump used the term shithole and got a lot of grief for it right but is there any more blatant and nakedly true statement than that look at some of these places that we're trying to adapt to their culture where you wouldn't even you wouldn't even want to visit there you wouldn't want to have a layover there for 20 minutes while you got to your next plane no so I I don't I don't want my country to reflect that I want my country to be welcoming in a legal sense of the word but I also want it to be made clear like like we were talking about immigration before if you're going to come to this country and embrace it for all that it has to offer you got to leave your country behind. You don't have to forget your language you don't but you have to adapt to the melting pot to the culture.

SPEAKER_04 2:05:04

And you know it's the same thing when I went from driving a motor coach to into uh my class A driving the the trucks I had to leave that behind I had to get that out of my head one way or another because I was following too many of their their that way of driving a a 45 foot motor coach as opposed to a 72 foot tractor and trailer and and it was hard to do but I did it because it's a new culture new way and these people don't want to they don't want to leave that culture and I I'm sorry you know our country needs immigration definitely need it. That's what makes our country tick.

SPEAKER_15 2:05:47

That's what made our country was immigration but at the same time 250 years ago we uh we we how do I want to say that now this is why I said what I said before assimilated yeah as as one nation under God we we came together as one we we we defined a certain culture a certain way of life and that is the way we've been attempting to live for the past 250 years and now all of a sudden people want to come in here and try to change that when they have the right to change that and why are we allowing that why is our federal government allowing these people to do what they're doing well people people will also scream loudly and this this will be like I said everybody from leadership on down to just your average person in the screw street will say uh America was founded on immigration America immigration immigrants built America yeah they did but there was also a system in place right there was Ellis Island there was Czechs and and uh there was also a want on the part of the immigrants that were coming over to blend in to become Americans there was a pride exactly and you know it's not the way it is right now you go to little Italy and Giuseppe the father would smack little Anthony in the back of the head if he caught him speaking Italian speak English yeah yeah you know acclimate um there there's not there's none of that anymore they every everybody who comes in wants to turn their household into uh a a microcosm of where they came from and that's not that's that's not how immigration in America works that's that's not how like you said 200 250 years ago we had a country to fill right um guess what we're we're about to hold up the vacancy sign here yeah because there's no need for expansion there's no need for uh population growth uh that's a different story now the the the the the the reasons for immigration are vastly different than they were back then it is and uh you know we talked about expansion and uh it it's a perfect segue into greenland yeah uh what's your thoughts what do you think i am beginning to have a real hatred for the media because the way that this has been portrayed largely I mean there's of course there's exceptions the way that this is portrayed is our batshit insane president wants to take over Greenland from out of nowhere okay that's not the case uh the the United States has been strategically after Greenland since the 1940s uh for military purposes and others 1949 I think was the first offer that we put on it was it was it was laid out there to buy greenland right uh greenland is controlled by Denmark if I'm not mistaken yep you are great it looks like the old uh the old joke says nobody likes the Dutch uh and they're uh they're of course they're gonna hold on on it now greenland is a is a frozen chunk of nothing by the way it it is but I but it's strategic I was just gonna say it's very strategic militarily it's it's uh it's a gateway into the Western hemisphere right now and there and uh for decades for decades and decades there have been uh uh bases military bases on Greenland there has been uh through treaties and and money that's changed hands so this is nothing new i i i love how how it's being reported that out of nowhere this this this maniac wants to take over greenland that's not the case this is not the case strategically important for decades maybe maybe the 13 soldiers that Germany sent over here will defend Greenland yeah voted that's what they said was 13 frickin' soldiers now and i and I'm willing to bet that those 13 soldiers were on like a punishment rotation probably you know what I mean they're they were the bad eggs and wants to go to Greenland man Hans Franz the Johan get over here we're putting you on a plane you're gonna love this now if if this goes through which I I I I kind of think it's going to I think it's a long shot but I think it's going to uh how how how does this change the the the demographics of of how we how we are as a nation now if we do take over Greenland.

SPEAKER_04 2:10:32

Like a land grab almost yeah yeah yeah because that's pretty it's not I wouldn't say a land grab but if we do go in there and we put military in there uh it's like what do you call Greenland now Greenland of the United States of America or freedom land or is it going to be like you know when we purchased uh uh the Virgin Islands yeah you know it's gonna be the same i i think that's probably the way it's gonna go be pretty much the same scenario there tropical smoothies and two piece bathing suits in Greenland the yeah yeah yeah yeah those Germans are gonna look ridiculous is there any oil in Greenland no but there is snow lots of it yeah we'll have to worry about running out of water hell of a misnomer Greenland yeah yeah I I listen from a military perspective strategically you cannot argue that that that Greenland is not important.

SPEAKER_15 2:11:33

It's it definitely definitely definitely absolutely what do they call it the the golden dome what's what's Denmark doing with it Denmark I don't think they're doing anything with it a ton of windmills that do nothing uh and and Denmark really is going to be the the ones pushing against all of this right yeah yeah well they're they're a tiny country they don't want to lose more real estate but but I mean is it gonna be more it is it how beneficial is it going to be for the United States if you take away the from a military standpoint you take that away it is it could be beneficial in any other capacity I don't know because for the most part Greenland's a barren wasteland right you know what I mean it's it's it like I was joking around with before I would think that any militar you were in the military if you heard you were growing to Greenland you would probably consider it to be punishment duty.

SPEAKER_04 2:12:36

Well I volunteered to go to to Alaska that's my first point's a little bit different. It is a little different but it it's still the freaking tundra it really is you know but you know I don't I don't know what other benefit we would have if uh we did go and uh take that country over and how would it work as far as uh from a government standpoint would they have they're still have their own government I would assume you know uh I don't know I don't know how it would work. Who's the governor of Greenland? John Smith.

SPEAKER_15 2:13:08

Yeah okay you know I don't know I I I don't know either it it it it it is nice to see NATO up in arms about something if they would do something you know and if if NATO was if NATO was a human body you'd be checking for its pulse for the past 40 years.

SPEAKER_04 2:13:26

Right I don't know it's a crazy freaking world out there.

SPEAKER_15 2:13:31

It is yeah I'm just concerned about uh a civil war happening again and I would I I would immediately blame for a civil war the the media well the media is so complicit in the way that stories are spun.

SPEAKER_04 2:13:53

It's it's you're correct 100 you're 50% correct in my opinion I was going to do a podcast on uh just who's at fault with what's going on here in in the country and uh I can only think of two people two two two two areas here one is like you just said is the media 50% and the other 50% it was the Biden administration.

SPEAKER_15 2:14:22

And when are we gonna when is somebody gonna dig down into the actual dirt like we started to dig down into the dirt of the Biden administration with the auto pen and stuff like that. When are they gonna really drill down and see okay that's old news how much of this was just rotten to the core all of it was the auto pen like and all of the stuff all of the stuff that was was signed by auto pen could that be rescinded now because the guy who was making those decisions had tapioca for brands it had any like all these um these pardons they all had to be signed by the pen in the hand yeah and none of them were no so all the people that got pardoned round them up round them up put them back in jail judge conaghan take that sorry you're not a judge anymore you piece of shit but yeah well there's plenty of there's plenty of room in the prisons now that the January 6thers have been pardoned yeah right yeah just cycle the ones that Biden pardoned back in there uh we pretty much covered everything that we wanted to talk about anything else you want to discuss there's a couple things I'd like to talk about too uh really quickly if you want to keep going on the topics that we've been talking about keep going uh as kind of a um well this this kind of ties into the whole melting pot thing uh the Trump administration has decided to enforce a law and crack down it's a lot has been on the book since the 1930s that you have to have a working knowledge of English both to speak and to read in order to have a commercial driver's license and drive a truck um my my social media feed because this is something of interest to me has been inundated by these stories that uh you know uh they pulled a driver over and they gave him the cat and the hat by Dr. Seuss to read he couldn't do it so they pulled his CDL immediately. Now I don't know the veracity of all of these stories but there definitely is a crackdown happening. Oh there is uh that that's in for because the it leads to the question if you cannot uh read or speak English driving a truck on the road how the hell did you get your CDL? Because the test is in English.

SPEAKER_04 2:16:35

That this law that law was uh put into place I believe it was in 1933 1933 been a minute it's been a while it the problem was it was just never enforced and now that's uh being enforced just like you said said before everybody wants to claim racism and and uh all that stuff uh but at the same time you know I when I got in my accident that woman did not speak a lick English sure very very very little very little the only word out of her mouth when I walked back there to see if she was okay was it's your fault on Google Translate probably helped her work that one out while you were walking back from the camera it's your fault although I had you know two cameras on the truck I had a witness and whatever and you know that bitch she got uh 10 grand out of that deal oh yeah yeah because it's cheaper to pay out than it is to to take through the purchase they settled too soon and they just settled but the the stories that I see that drive me insane I drove 10 years safely and then I lost my CDL because I couldn't read the cat in the hat.

SPEAKER_15 2:17:53

I drove 20 years and a million miles safely but I lost my CDL because I couldn't read the cat in the hat. You had between 10 and 20 years to learn basic English. Yep after 10 or 20 years you think you would have absorbed a lot of it just because of the surroundings or did you turn your house into a microcosm of your home country and never bother to learn English that's what which ties back into what we were talking about before.

SPEAKER_04 2:18:20

So you know you had 10 or 20 years figure it out figure out English I I I got in a discussion with a fellow driver about about this stuff a couple weeks ago and we talk about it quite a bit and he says oh this guy I know this guy he's been driving for 20 some years here he's never been in an accident and you know he speaks okay English but he can't read it but I I he says I don't think he should lose his CDL well why doesn't he read the English yeah that's my question. And again how did he get that CDL? That's my that's what I want to know you know I don't know if I brought this up on a excuse me a former podcast or not but it was um almost two years ago I went down to the DMV to recertify my my medical card and next to me was a a uh hispanic gentleman he was filling out an application on a computer to get a CDL he had to have a translator read what was on the computer yeah that's it's like how did you get past that point why didn't the the the the worker at the DMV just stop you right then and there and say you can't read English you can't get your CDL and again this isn't rich going into the DMV and and and pointing at somebody and saying that they're different or saying that they're less than it has the law with that as nothing to do with that is the written law since the thirties you know a lot of times we might sound like we're racist on here And we're against foreigners and illegal well, illegals we are. Let's do it right. Just do it the right way, man. You know where that's that's it. That's it. You know, I oh over the past couple years, we've had uh quite a few uh Hispanics move into our area and uh actually uh uh Orientals. I've I've seen a lot of Orientals in our area lately, and I've talked to uh several of them, and very nice people. Very nice people. You see them in a convenient mart, they're very cordial, you know, respectful, they talk to you, you know. Uh so this is not about uh a race at all. It's just it the legalities of things and our way of life in this country. Uh I don't want it changed at all. Your continuity of our language, yeah.

SPEAKER_15 2:20:54

Uh being able to communicate with with not not just somebody behind a wheel of a truck, but your fellow man.

SPEAKER_04 2:21:00

Right, right. You know, it's very concerning um the way things are going in this country. Very concerning extremely. Um when we look at what's coming up, and what's concerning to me is Trump is how far is he in towards his presidency now?

SPEAKER_15 2:21:23

We're one year into a four-year term.

SPEAKER_04 2:21:24

One year. He's got three more. Exactly. So we have midterms coming up. Yeah, that's gonna that's gonna speed volume so extremely, extremely important, important for for everybody. Uh uh Democrats and Republicans. Um if let's say if if if the Republicans lose the midterms and Democrats take over, where do we go from here? Because it's gonna be a hell of a time to get something passed. It already is. It is now, but it's gonna be it's gonna be worse.

SPEAKER_15 2:22:07

Oh, a hell of a lot worse. But like one of the things that I've said a million times, even even on this podcast, is is that Democrats move in lockstep. Right. That is something Republicans don't have the ability to do. Republicans will fracture, uh, republican initiatives will lose votes from from fellow Republicans because they have a feather up their ass about one thing or another. Democrats don't have that problem, right? For the most part. They might lose one or two, but they they they generally move as a force, right? And that's something that Republicans have never really pinned down.

SPEAKER_04 2:22:38

I think there's there's they're they're getting a grasp of though. I think they're starting to get a grasp on that concept.

SPEAKER_15 2:22:45

Cool, you got a year before shit can get hairy. How about you pass some decent legislation, yeah, get your act together. You even you even have a few jumpers from the Democrat side, like Fetterman, who I I've never I've never been able to say that a stroke did anybody good, but Fetterman seems to be doing a hell of a lot better as far as his thinking goes.

SPEAKER_04 2:23:04

Uh I'll tell you what, we busted his balls bad on this podcast when he had when he had his uh issues there. But uh he's come around. Uh it's not that he's come around. He's just talking common sense. Right. He's talking common sense, he's more understandable, you know. That that's the key. And uh Trump is a year in. We got three years to go with him. Many liberal tiers to come. Okay. We have three years to go with him. Obviously, Vance is going to be running. Who he's going to be running against? Who the freak knows? That's a crapshoot.

SPEAKER_15 2:23:41

If it's if it's somebody like Gavin Newsom, who's being groomed to be the Democrat candidate. He is. But Gavin Newsom is the ultimate empty suit. Yeah. It is so easy to beat the living piss out of him with his own track record. It's almost like a wet dream to have him run.

SPEAKER_04 2:24:01

But when you say track record, we know his track record. A lot of people know his track record, but a lot of people don't. And a lot of people are just going to vote for him just because he's a Democrat. And that's what scares me. They don't know what this guy is all about. They just know that he's the governor of California right now, and he has a podcast that is whatever. And he is just for a good-looking dude. You know, that's all they're voting for. They're not voting for legislation, they're not voting for laws, they're not voting for policy.

SPEAKER_15 2:24:44

So what you do if you're the Republican National Committee, uh commitity? Comidity. Is that a word? No. The Republican National Committee. And you're you're you're trying to uh bring forward uh uh the the the problems with with with somebody like Gavin Newsom. You don't focus on bills that are passed, you don't you focus on the ridiculous, you focus on the fact that a huge swath of his state burned because he didn't want to clear the underbrush uh for environmental reasons. Right. And it turned around and it wound up costing people their homes and everything like that, and they can't recoup the losses because the insurance companies are giving them like ridiculously low, or the insurance companies are folding. Right. You look at the the human effect that his bad decisions have led to. You don't focus on the politics of it. And you want to throw politics in there, do some of the most outrageous. It's California. You could find outrageous legislation lying on the ground out there, yeah, and you spin it into something that the average voter can understand. This guy he's mismanaged things, he's said ridiculous things. The cov that my favorite the COVID thing. Everybody wear a mask, everybody wear a mask, don't go anywhere. Where did he go? He went to, I think it was a birthday party at a very exclusive resort, nobody was wearing a mask. He's sitting at the bar remembering the video on that. You point out his hypocrisies. Uh and and and you point out the financial state that California's in. You point out the fact that businesses are leaving California as quickly as they possibly can and relocating to red states. That's how you that's how you battle that. Yeah. Pretty boy made bad.

SPEAKER_04 2:26:26

Uh my daughter lives out there and she's been out there for six years now, six, seven years. And uh she loves it. It's a beautiful state. But she said, Dad, the politics out here uh is unbelievable. The the way that uh she went down to the Palisades area to see what was going on down there. You know how many homes they they built down there? One. One one it's not even complete because of uh permits missing permits. They had now they had uh funding for that bullet train through California. They got uh a couple billion dollars for that. I do not six six miles, and but you're gonna get those six miles really quick. They got that funding uh 25 years ago, I think. 25 years ago, something like that.

SPEAKER_15 2:27:31

California's always been the land of fruit and nuts.

SPEAKER_04 2:27:34

Where is this money? Where? Right, you know, where's this money at? And we talk about money. Uh this uh mayor of Manhattan. Oh my god in heaven. Yeah, already he's he's on the chopping block. Mandani. Mandani. He says, Oh, you're gonna have free buses, free transportation, city-owned grocery stores. All of a sudden, the the the fares for the buses go up to three dollars. They've got increased three dollars. Don't these didn't these people do their research that he has no authority at whatsoever to to uh uh adjust any kind of uh fare for any kind of transportation? That is a port authority that does that.

SPEAKER_15 2:28:24

I also thought it was funny when they they were running some of his uh proposed ideas past the governor, Holcomb. Holcomb, New York, New York. And she was just kind of quietly saying, No, no, we're not gonna do that. Yeah, or not, you know what I mean? Even she was like, All right, this I have to support him because he's the Democrat, he's the liberal, he's the thing. That's the problem.

SPEAKER_04 2:28:44

That's the fucking problem. She also can't just use the language, you know? Yeah, uh we're adults. You can't just uh support anybody just because they're listen, listen, this let's put this scenario out there. Let's let's get rid of the Republican Party, let's get rid of the Democratic Party, right? And let's just put both sides together. No party at all, no independent, nothing. And and how would this work out if people just started voting on the issues at hand, on policy, on you know, the financial state of the country, on immigration, on all of this, and don't put a D or R in front of anybody's name. How would this country look right now if we did that?

SPEAKER_11 2:29:39

Anarchy.

SPEAKER_04 2:29:40

You think here's why?

SPEAKER_15 2:29:44

Political parties are not just a way to identify yourself. Political parties are almost like a clearinghouse of ideas, it's where you you uh you identify certain things with certain parties. Okay, you identify fiscal conservatism with uh Republicans, uh, you identify welfare and handouts to Democrats, and the reason I say that they're clearing houses of ideas is because people kind of need that because they need something to identify with, they need something vague to identify with. I lean more towards this.

SPEAKER_04 2:30:21

Well, identify as a male and a female and nothing in between. How about that? Well, yeah. Let's identify with that.

SPEAKER_15 2:30:27

We can't even master that, you know. But like I said before, like like the joke, not wasn't a joke, it was an the anecdote that I made about the the lady uh referring to uh the the the Venezuelan leader as Manjaro. That's what that's what we have. Like Democrats and Republicans give some but give some bad information, but people have a tendency to lean more towards one side or the other and get their information from that. They're actually better informed. They might be making bad decisions, but they at least they know that it's like a giant magnet that draws. Where people left to their own devices have a tendency to not want to learn shit.

SPEAKER_04 2:31:08

I kind of agree, and I I I I I I think I disagree more than than I agree. Because I think if if people would vote Well, I'm taking my ball and going home. Because I I think that if if people just don't vote for us just for a party, they I I if there's no two parties, I think people really are gonna research more, they're gonna be more aware of what's going on in the world and our country, than than just just saying, okay, well, my buddy's a Democrat, he's telling me this, so I'm just gonna vote Democrat. So instead, if if we got rid of these two parties, you're not gonna identify as Democrat or Republican. You're gonna have to research more, you're gonna have to do your own legwork to see what really is going on out there, other than just you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_15 2:32:06

I understand that, but you you you're you're also giving the average voter and the average human being way too much credit. There is a huge swath of people who do not give a shit about the specifics and will not will not educate themselves on the specifics, and they have no motivation to motivate themselves or to educate themselves on the specifics. At least the vague ideas of what each party represents gives them more knowledge than they would otherwise have.

SPEAKER_04 2:32:38

I think you're correct, but I think over time, over time, people are gonna see what's going on. And why why do we have this fraud? Why do why is where's all this money? Why why are we wasting all of this? I think over time people are gonna see that, and there's not gonna be no more identification as far as a democrat or republican. But over time the Roman Empire fell.

SPEAKER_15 2:33:05

True, you know what I mean? Like there has to be some kind of a a catalyst, there has to be something that makes people want to educate themselves on the issues, there has to be something that uh in order for what you're talking about to work, uh there's a certain responsibility to being a citizen, yeah. And not many people are interested in shouldering that responsibility, especially when they're completely left to their own devices. Yeah. Uh I I talk, I talk people or I talk to people who want to talk politics and three sentences in, I want to do them physical harm. Yeah. Because they're so misinformed. Misinformed. I'm not talking about thinking like I do. I don't care if you disagree with me. But if if you literally have no idea what's going on, war is bad. Well, thank you for for for that that pearl of wisdom. What is your reason? Hey, you got a little drool coming off your chin. Yeah. You know, I it's that's that's what I'm talking about. People people are not mo, especially now, aren't motivated to to like there there's there's no interest.

SPEAKER_04 2:34:12

There's no motivation besides their own. Besides their own interest. There's no motivation whatsoever out of the people in this country to to work for one, to improve themselves, to educate themselves. Everything they that a lot of the American citizens want today, they want to hand it to them. Yes, they want to hand it out. And that's that's why I did that podcast uh last week on SNAP benefits. Too many people are just reliant on on them things, on the welfare, all the handouts, and and our government is just so eager to give. Whether it's it's it's for snap benefits or if it's for funding of an illegal daycare center. There's no there's no investigation into why am I giving you 12 million dollars a year? Where are these kids? Where's this property at? Uh that Nick Shirley, he didn't, he was up uh in uh Minnesota again uh looking for this transportation company, and he goes, The the building is all boarded up, locked up, nobody there, nobody in there. Shirley, you can't be serious. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_15 2:35:28

Sorry, I've wanted to do that since you first mentioned his name.

SPEAKER_04 2:35:31

But the kid, the kid did a great job on exposing this stuff, and uh I don't know. I mean, this is why I I I like doing this podcast is to get this stuff out in the open, you know. But uh the only way of getting it out the in the open is if uh people listen. And not just my podcast, uh a lot of other podcasts out there, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_15 2:35:58

Discourse, discourse talking, yeah, it's it and uh debating without drawing guns on each other, and that's a problem too.

SPEAKER_04 2:36:05

People just can't have a conversation, it's always it always turns violent. Yep. Uh there's no debate. Ad hominem attacks, you're this, you're racist, sexist, homophobe, blah blah blah blah. Yeah, uh, you know, it's just uh it's a very concerning time right now in our country, that's for sure. That is for sure. What else you got, Jim? Anything good? A crippling heroin addiction. No, no, no. Come on.

SPEAKER_15 2:36:30

No, not not not being this heavy. Um the all the all the all the rest of the stuff that I could think of to talk about is uh depressing. It is.

SPEAKER_04 2:36:42

It is depressing, but you know, it's stuff that needs to be talked about and and put out there. One of these days we're gonna do a podcast.

SPEAKER_15 2:36:49

Hey, did you hear this great thing that happened? Like it's hard to find humor when you're talking about the stuff that we're talking about today. Sometimes it is, yeah. Yeah. Uh but uh I remember we did the one podcast where uh I think we were making fun of like a fashion parade or something like that. And it was hysterical. That was the Olympic parade. Oh, the Olympic opener. Yeah, yeah. For some reason everybody was wearing gold lamin down the ring mighty reel. I don't know. That was a weird but that was fun. Yeah. And uh if we could if we could please at least find a poster of uh Sarah Huckabee. Yeah. You can hang in here, my cankle queen.

SPEAKER_04 2:37:28

Love that lady. I'm surprised she's not throwing her hat in a ring. Well, she won't now, not until uh after Vance is out of there. But what a what a what a great choice for VP. It would be. I never thought of that, to be honest. What a fantastic choice for VP. But I I kind of have a funny feeling it's gonna be a Rubio. Not the worst. No, not the worst choice, not my first, but I don't know who else I'd go for. It's too worse right now.

SPEAKER_15 2:37:56

It's a strong nod to uh uh to to uh diversity. Yeah, yeah. You know, that that's it's a box that gets checked, and I know that sounds extremely clinical, but it's also a way you gotta think now.

SPEAKER_04 2:38:08

Yeah, yeah. Here's something else that we could talk about quick here. What do you think about uh these people that want to impeach Christy Noam? What do you think of that?

SPEAKER_15 2:38:23

I think the word impeach is being thrown around way too fast and loose in several areas. Yeah, and for the last you know, eight years or so it's just been like Yeah. There's another move for a third uh third impeachment on Trump. There is. Okay, listen, this this guy's literally the Teflon Don. Right. Uh you know, say unless you're gonna come correct and you're gonna have shit that sticks, yeah. Stop it. Right. Now, do is there enough shit that sticks with Gnome?

SPEAKER_04 2:38:52

I mean, all she's doing is doing following the law. She's enforcing the law. Yeah so what what grounds do you have to impeach her?

SPEAKER_15 2:39:00

Well, enforcement of the law seems to piss people off. See also ice.

SPEAKER_04 2:39:04

Yeah. You know, you know, overall, overall, before we wrap this up, how do you think Trump is doing so far?

SPEAKER_15 2:39:12

I think it's I think the first year has been very beleaguered by very loud elements that have uh uh uh very strong connections with the media and that they're able to get their um their opinions and and and and their criticisms out much more so than uh Trump's side. I think rank I think rank and file Republicans who voted for Trump are very happy. And yeah, I gotta tell you the truth. I've had a lot of time on my hands. I'm scrolling through reels, watching ICE agents yanking people out of cars and just giggling my head off. I apologize. That sounds incredibly cruel, but I also know that what's being captured on that camera is not the whole story. What is and and context matters, sure, and uh so yeah, I. I I I'm I think I'm getting f for a large part what I voted for. And I think that anybody who voted for Trump thinking that inflation's gonna drop by 75% the minute I take office, if they believe that they're an idiot. Right. That is that is that is the modern equivalent of the president who ran on the a chicken in every pot. Right thing. It can what, 8%, something like that? Something along those lines. But the point is that politicians make promises to get elected. Right. Now listen, has he had has he made progress towards lowered inflation? Yes, he has. Is it immediate? No. Why? Because nothing is. Nothing is. Nothing is immediate. Nothing. Right, unless you're Googling it. Even fast food takes time now. I sat in a drive-thru for like 20 minutes one day. I swear to God.

SPEAKER_04 2:40:49

Yeah. 20 minutes. Yeah, and my fries were still cold. I would have been pissed.

SPEAKER_15 2:40:52

I have a figure to maintain. Get that food out here.

SPEAKER_04 2:40:56

Yeah, I think he's doing a good job. I think he's doing everything. He's trying to do everything that he told us he was going to do. And I think I voted on the right side. So that's where I'm at.

SPEAKER_15 2:41:07

Compared to what we're finding out about Waltz. Yeah. Yeah. Just think the. I'm looking at it as like a dodged bullet right now.

SPEAKER_04 2:41:14

The two idiots could have been uh, you know, leaving this country. And where would we have been right now? We would have been frickin', you know, eating rice under frickin' Market Street Bridge right now.

SPEAKER_15 2:41:25

Either that or we'd be doing this podcast with guns to our heads talking about how great Waltz is and how how great, you know, the cackling one is.

SPEAKER_04 2:41:33

Yeah, got it. You have anything else? You got anything else?

SPEAKER_15 2:41:37

No, no, not not really. I think I I think I think I've I've uh uh got the poison out for this week.

SPEAKER_04 2:41:44

Yeah, it was good. It was good, good show. Yeah, good seeing it again. Good being in here. Yeah, we're gonna do it again. That's for sure. Try to as often as we can. It's uh you know gee, I hope there's something to talk about. I wanted to I never wanted to let up from the last time I we did a show, and the last time you were on, I think I did two shows after that, and that was it on my own. I've been so freaking busy between the kid and work and trying to keep up with the house, and oh man, it's in the way tough, man. Life gets in the way, and uh it's it's hard, it's hard. And uh you you got some of these podcasters that are on every day for an hour, hour and a half. It's like, where do you find the time?

SPEAKER_15 2:42:32

You know, either that they were able to monetize it somehow to that that they can make it their career, that when they wake up at eight o'clock they start doing research and crack the mic at four.

SPEAKER_04 2:42:41

Yeah, you know, it you know, I'd like to make this a career also, but I I it's tough, it's tough. I gotta pay bills, I gotta work.

SPEAKER_15 2:42:50

I have I've been very lucky, lucky in the respect that I have a firm future set out for me as far as uh my later life and retirement. Um, I'm guaranteed a lotto win. Yeah, and that's that's that's gonna carry me through. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_04 2:43:06

Nice, nice, nice. Yeah, good. Hey, that's all I got. Is that all you got? I'm spent. Jim is spent. Hey, for Jim and Rich, thanks for joining me here today on the show.
