The coffee smells great—then reality hits. We open with a hard look at the microplastics panic and a contrarian finding that fat combustion can mimic polymer signatures, raising tough questions about how risk got measured, repeated, and sold. That sets a bigger theme: when methods wobble and narratives harden, trust fractures. From there we follow the fault lines—puncturing partisan fantasies of total victory, unpacking rhetoric about mass prosecutions and court-packing, and asking whether the stagecraft of “accountability” is replacing the slow, document‑heavy work the public actually deserves.

On the ground, we examine how modern “civil war” looks less like tanks and more like clashing jurisdictions, ICE standoffs, high‑visibility vests, and a guy on a corner with a rifle. We explore how small protests get magnified into movements, how mayors talk tough until the legal realities land, and why even the appearance of selective enforcement invites escalation. Layer in structural rot—ghost employees, ghost daycares, and a homeless system that marks people “served” while they sleep in cars—and you get a chorus of broken promises that drowns out official reassurances. Add contested election practices and lagging investigations, and patience wears thin.

We zoom out to geopolitics: Greenland’s strategic ice, Denmark’s painful history with Greenlanders, and the blunt tools of tariffs and alliances. North of the border, a court smacks down Canada’s Emergencies Act use during the convoy, underscoring that civil liberties still count after the headlines fade. Alberta’s sovereignty talk reframes “landlocked” as “policy‑locked,” revealing how constitutions and corridors shape power. Through it all, we ask listeners to trade jerseys for judgment: demand replication, track chain of custody, follow the money, and insist on timelines, not slogans.

Opening Riff & Simultaneous Sip

SPEAKER_20

We're getting screwed, man. Every time we turn around, we're getting screwed. Well, the revolution's gonna be true podcasting for sure. That's the only way we can't. It's the little guys. The little guys that take the blood of everything. It's gotta stop. Peasants, ma'am. We're just peasants. Every one of us. You watch those old movies, you see the peasants in the background with the kings and kings walking around. We're those people. We're those people. Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. Sorry we're a couple minutes late. We had to restart the show like nine times. So glad you guys made it out here. All one of you. I'm sure Pony Boy's about to jump in. There he is, right there. Just instantaneous. He had the timing just right. We've got our British listeners listening this morning as well. Jen, welcome back from the hospital. Uh, no, no more gallbladder for her. Yeah, that's lots of fun. She's got her simultaneous sip all set up for this. It is a prescription bottle of morphine. He will be joining us for the simultaneous sip this morning. Go ahead and grab your favorite drink. I know why you're here. You're here for the simultaneous sip. All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tinkered chalice or stein, a canteen, jug, or flask, or a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip.

SPEAKER_29

Coffee smells good. As you grow older, you'll discover that life is very much like coffee.

SPEAKER_24

The aroma is always better than the actuality.

SPEAKER_20

May that be your lesson for the day. The aroma is always better than the actuality. I'm surprised at how much people like the simultaneous sip. You know, it's funny because Scott Addison, who did it for years, he's like, I can't stop doing it because people show up just for the simultaneous sip. And uh, it's funny just doing it for a couple days last week. I had a handful of listeners email me be like, it's the highlight of my day. And I'm like, wow, we must be really on to something. Or Scott was. So we'll continue to do the uh simultaneous sip. It's a whole lot of fun. If you're a regular Rumble audience listener, please join us there. Tune in, let us know you're taking your sip. Body Easel says, Hello, son. Thought I could get on for a few. Welcome. Good morning from the deep breeze and tons of snow in Michigan. I'm gonna be driving just along the southern border of Michigan this next weekend. I'm kind of excited. Get to see all those toll roads that everybody talks about.

SPEAKER_22

Oh man, I've been on them.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, I was I was like yesterday. They're like, it's not out west where you get to drive freely on all these nice highways. If you don't pay the tolls, you're gonna drive on crappy roads.

SPEAKER_22

Yeah, I had no idea what crappy roads were until I went on the toll road. And wow, I thought the shocks were gonna break on the car. When you went off the toll road? No, when we were on it, it was concrete and it was like kitchen, kitchen, kitchen, kitchen. It was like for like 150 miles. And then we got off, and they're like, that'll be$17. Like, what?

Microplastics Testing Under Fire

SPEAKER_20

I think you guys owe me something. I got a$400 shock instruction. All right. So a little piece of news that came out of Futurism. Um, this is by Frank Landymore. And the headline says, This weight, all those studies may have detected microplastics in the human body because of a severe air. So this article goes on to discuss how for a couple decades now there's been studies about microplastics, and we're finding it in the depths of the ocean, and we're finding it in biological life and in the human brain cells and all that stuff. Well, apparently, most of these studies are coming from a handful of research papers and research groups. And there's been a lot of counter studies that have run to them. But just like everything, it's like you get all one side of the story because that's where the narrative wants to go. And in this study, what they're saying is the testing method by which they test for plastic is riddled with air because fats have the same composition as polymers. Our fats have that as well. And so the way they do the testing, they like remove all the flesh, which is impossible to do, and then they incinerate what's left, and then they count the literal molecules and determine if there's microplastics. The problem is when you burn fat, you end up with the same molecules that you would get with microplastics. That sounds like a PCR test. Yes, it's exactly like the PCR test. It's like the actual way to analyze the amount of microplastics is totally flawed. And especially with the papers that talk about microplastics making it into the brain, they're like 40 or 60% of your brain is fat. The idea that you wouldn't get a positive test from microplastics on your brain is like saying there's no fat in your brain. Like it's just an impossibility. So that's interesting because microplastics is one of those things that keeps me up at night.

SPEAKER_22

That actually helps me understand this a little better because I've heard often that, oh, people eat like a credit card with a plastic every ear, and it's like, really? I don't know about that.

SPEAKER_20

I mean, I can see eating bugs and stuff, but yeah, apparently the big thing is there is they're not even certain if you're getting microplastics, if they're causing any harm.

SPEAKER_22

Right.

SPEAKER_20

Right? So it's like, and then they can't actually test for them. That's the biggest thing, is any testing that they're doing for microplastics. It's it's just not an effective test when you're dealing with organic materials. So pretty interesting. Just another one of those. I don't know, maybe we'll bring smoking back. Might be good for us after. Who knows? Climate's not changing, microplastics are good. Now, we've discussed this topic of an upcoming civil war, or perhaps we're in the middle of a civil war, and we've played this uh Nicole Welch. She's on the left, she's one of their commentators, and she's I don't know where to put her on the popularity scale. I don't know if she's as popular as Steve Bannon or if she's kind of like uh uh, you know, just a Jason Miller pundit. I'm not exactly sure sure where she fits, but people take her seriously on the left. Like, you know, she's a serious pundit. She makes it onto CNN, MS Now, that kind of thing, makes the podcast circuit. And she was talking last week on a podcast about what's gonna happen when Democrats finally get back in power.

SPEAKER_36

The blue tsunami means that Congress is going to haul Elon Musk, big balls, and a bunch of other people's ass in front and say, What crimes did you commit? And it's gonna get really serious. And the same with Trump, because I believe, and this is just my opinion, that Trump and all of the bottom-feeding morons surrounding him, and Elon Musk and all the bottom-feeding clinger oners that surround him, I think they commit crimes every day. And I think to reconcile all of this is going to take hardcore, not integrity Democrats. Fuck you, Democrats, fuck you for fucking over our country. We are serious about this. We are prosecuting. We're gonna uncover every document, every phone call, everything you did. We will be relentless about it. And that's the mindset they've got to have because I think the electorate is going from we've got to get him out, but also we want accountability.

SPEAKER_32

There has to be accountability. You have to have a situation where there's accountability. And I talked about this the other day with Fanone, uh the former uh MPD police officer who almost got killed on January 6th. You know, he he said, and I think it's true, that it's more than just the Dems win back the Congress and the White House. There we have to change this um John Roberts Supreme Court decision that gave the president of the United States a blank check. Uh, no man or woman should be above the law in this country, and Donald Trump sure as shit should not be above the law in this country. And I think the Democrats have to talk about it in these terms that listen, um, if we get back in there, and I'm not saying I'm part of the Democratic Party, but I'm saying that this is the way the Democrats should communicate. They should say, when they're back in there, if you know, if you guys are are gonna cling to this idea that Donald Trump is unaccountable, it's just not gonna work. And that means adding seats to the Supreme Court so that that immunity decision can be overturned, and so Donald Trump can be held accountable for his crime.

SPEAKER_22

Right. Why did he feel like he had to say, I'm I'm not part of the Democrat Party, but if I was gonna run it that way, why did he have to say that?

SPEAKER_20

He's no longer in the apparatus. It's the fake journalism. I'm unbiased, even though I vote solid Democrat, donate to the Democrats, only cover get Democrat talking points. It's but I mean, I'm not a Democrat, but if we, not we, you see, it's the slip. It's just, you know, it's like if I were to be like, well, I'm not a Republican. I vote with the Republicans, I go to the Republican meetings, I serve prison time for a Republican president. I'm not a Republican, heaven forbid. It's like, okay. I mean, we can all play that game a little bit, right?

SPEAKER_22

Here's another person who plays-I I kind of heard it a little different, like, well, don't throw me in jail because it wasn't my idea.

unknown

Maybe, yeah, whatever.

SPEAKER_20

But they're planning on hauling people in front, holding them accountable. Donald Trump's committing crimes, everybody around him's committing crimes. What crimes? I mean, we articulated crimes during the Biden administration. Just articulate them. And don't give me some, well, we're denying the constitution for illegal immigrants. They don't have constitutional protections or rights. You know what I mean? The only protection they get is due process. Where's your ID? Oh, you don't have one? Okay. We'll go ahead and process you out. Here's uh Jim Walsh, who used to be on the radio as a conservative radio host. And in 2020, he decided to run for office and run against Donald Trump. And he's one of these, you know, rhino, not even 100% certain he ever really was a Republican. Now I look at it, I'm like, well, maybe he was a Republican, but he was truly a country club Republican that wanted free trade, low goods, and didn't care about buying stuff from China. I'm not sure. But he echoes Nicole or Jennifer Welch or Nicole Welch's sentiments about what to do. And again, calling for more of Democrats putting their bodies on the what are you prepared to do?

SPEAKER_15

Are you prepared to take this all the way to defend this constitutional republic? Our founders would be on the streets right now revolting against these armed thugs.

SPEAKER_22

Maybe you should do it.

SPEAKER_15

They need to know Trump, the fascist, my former political party, a fascist embracing cult, they need to understand that we are prepared to fight fire with fire. I'm sorry, Democrats. I know that scares the hell out of you, but you gotta be prepared to do it if you want to save this thing. What are you prepared to do? Are you prepared to do that?

Pundits, Prosecutions & Power Talk

SPEAKER_20

I don't think Democrats are particularly squeamish when it comes to using power. I don't know. I've met a few. So this civil war concept, I've thought a lot about this over the weekend because you have some pundits like Alex Smith who are really on top of this. And then you have some pundits who are kind of like, nah, I mean, it's isolated little things. I when I go back and I study the Russian Revolution when the Bolsheviks took over, it started out as an international writer's club, right? It was Karl Marx, Hegel was a little bit before that. There was Lenin, and a lot of these guys kind of centered around this international co-op, and they were trying these little self-governing communes in Paris and other places. And by the time Russia came around, the objective in Russia was simple: get rid of the czar. Everything the Tsar represented, the economic system, the peasant system, the uh military-industrial complex, everything about the czar, the people of Russia wanted to get rid of. And so there were different factions that wanted to get rid of it. And when you go back and you look at the revolution in 19, was it 1913 or 1917? Uh, all of it happened in a square. I mean, we're talking a half square mile of downtown, I can't even remember if it was Moscow, St. Petersburg at the moment, but wherever their capital was. And there were, you know, there was a winter day that was overtly sunny, like it got up to 50 degrees in January or whatever, or February. And so everybody came out, right? Because it was a nice day. Don't go to the factories, come out. So you had a lot of civilians out in the street on top of the half dozen provocateurs, and that kicked off what's what became the Russian Revolution. A small little pocket of Russia, just one little town, and the entire Soviet empire was born, with what really amounted to 30 to 100 dedicated activists that wanted to overthrow the czar, and then another couple hundred to a thousand people that were just okay with the czar being overthrown. Does that make sense? Like they weren't gonna stand up for him, but they weren't gonna fight against them.

SPEAKER_22

So it sounds like a chaz chop that worked.

SPEAKER_20

Yes, that's exactly what it was. So we really do have to be highly conscientious of these little skirmishes, these cities that are sanctuaries that fight against the federal government. We have to pay attention to these little town squares where some incident happens because just like George Floyd, George Floyd spilt over into 50 states. We had policies and laws, and local sheriffs and police departments started enforcing rules or not enforcing rules based on whatever, you know, political ideology they had. The greatest example of this was we were told to stay inside and when you went outside to wear your masks. But then when it came time for George Floyd, the health departments decided that racism was a greater threat to your health than COVID. So you could go outside to protest as long as you were protesting racism on behalf of George. Do you see how stupid that sounds? Right? But it's small amounts of people that can do this. So in Minneapolis, there's a group of software programmers who went out for lunch, but this small amount of people that are out causing havoc have been out walking through the streets of Minneapolis looking for anybody they think is ice. So this is like right here. I mean, this is outside the window that are looking inside at this cafe, and they're looking at some clean-cut, well-dressed guys. They're computer guys, but these guys think they're ice. Oh boy. So go score. So these guys come out of the restaurant, and I know there's a lot of whistles and bells, but they're like, condemn ice. If you're not for us, you're against us. And this guy just wanted nothing to do with it. They ended up getting assaulted. These guys have nothing to do with nothing. They're just having lunch, and all of a sudden now they're in the middle of this, right? They think you're ice, prove you're not ice. How do I prove I'm not ice? Show us your ID, but screw you. What are you talking about, right? So that's what's going on in the streets. Again, this concept of a civil war doesn't have to be some big, huge tanks rolling down Constitution Avenue. It's when the mechanisms of good order and governance and jurisdictional street fights break out between cities, states, and the federal government. I mean, that is what a civil war is. Who's gonna back the city against the feds? Who's gonna back the feds against the city? You're starting to see this break out. So, for example, one of the things that happened this weekend was uh out in well, out in Minneapolis, the National Guard was deployed by uh on behalf of Tim Waltz, and they had to wear special orange outfits.

SPEAKER_22

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_20

So they're separating because so listen to this. This is this is the clip here. So they're wearing special orange outfits. It's like so what what they did was Tim Watts deployed the National Guard and in an effort, so notice how they're driving in their tanks or their companies. So word got put out by Jacob Fry and Tim Waltz. The Middle National Guard troops remain on standby. The guard said that if troops were deployed, they would wear reflective vests, quote, to help distinguish them from other agent agencies in similar uniforms.

SPEAKER_22

This is like shirts and skins.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, but now you're uniforming up. So now you've got National Guard troops deployed against federal officers. This is America against America. We know who's fighting on behalf of the state because they're wearing ridiculous orange bats like the rest of the protesters. It's really, really fascinating. All this would, I think, come to a screeching halt if there was some actual accountability. Actual accountability for Epstein, actual accountability for Rushgate, actual accountability for the 2020 election, January 6th, and the law fair against Donald Trump. Apparently, it's starting to become very common knowledge that Pam Bondi is way behind schedule. I guess Bongino and Cash and Tulsi Gabbard have passed up a whole bunch of criminal referrals. There should have been things happening all along, but Pam Bondi apparently isn't reading the news headlines. John Solomon spills the beans here that she's way behind the times.

SPEAKER_03

She did it. She put out this tweet, got a lot of traffic. Great Fox News story. Uh oh my God, guess what I discovered? I discovered that Joe Biden gave up uh Donald Trump's phone and Mike Pence's phone to Jack Smith. That's great, madam attorney general. Except that story came out in April. She wasn't even aware that that wasn't a new development, but an old development that had been discussed by Senators Grassley and Johnson for months. If you want to fix the pert walk problem, if you want to fix the um opportunity to bring accountability, Cash Patel has the evidence. The prosecutors, with the exception of Halligan, are lagging far behind the evidence. And that sand clock is ticking down not only on uh not only on statute of limitations, but on the time that occurs in between elections. 26 elections already underway. We're missing really valuable time to educate the public. The American people are missing valuable time. I don't think DOJ is getting there. When you see that there was a six month delay in this document, when you see the Attorney General presenting something new that is old, uh, she's so far behind the facts. I'm Really worried that Donald Trump doesn't have the team that can bring accountability to the Justice Department. That's just my reporting. And by the way, that's what many Justice Department and members of Congress have been saying to me privately over the last three weeks, four weeks.

What Civil War Looks Like Now

SPEAKER_20

So I've been able to sit back and take the little doses of hopium and kind of keep my high going from you know, good news report to good news report in between all the bad ones. But this one really shot me between the eyes. It's like you're still, even John Solomon's like, I'm concerned. Statute of limitations and the election schedule. What are we still waiting for? We're still waiting for everything. Everything. Everything. Everything. We're still waiting for some kind of accountability from 2015 when Trump started coming down the escalator. And here we are in 2026, 11 years later.

SPEAKER_22

I'll take a Comey. I'll take a what's the dummy from California? Newsom? No, the Senator Jackass.

SPEAKER_20

Swalwell, Schiff. Ship. Ship.

SPEAKER_22

I'll take a ship and I'll take a shift, you know.

SPEAKER_20

Any of them, right?

SPEAKER_22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_20

So this is just around the corner here in Pulsbo. I have to drive through Polsbow to get here everywhere. This is the local mayor in Pulsbo talking about uh ice because there's been a bunch of ice protests and people are showing up. But before we play that, I'm gonna play Jacob Fry. There's two interviews here. One is him on a podcast, and one is him after clearly the county attorneys have briefed him. Okay. And this same question is being asked to mayors all over the country, especially in blue jurisdictions. Yes, basically asking, can our cops arrest?

SPEAKER_35

Yeah. From a legal perspective, yes. And a commitment was made uh to direct Minneapolis police to arrest uh federal agents uh that would be dangerous, that would be irresponsible. And my simple question uh is how would our police officers do that? How would our police officers arrest federal agents when, simply put, they have much bigger guns and it would be illegal?

SPEAKER_20

Okay, so Jacob Fry acknowledges the real politique that I often point out to you guys. And it really comes down to just whose gang's bigger than whose gang, right? And of course, I just lost the clip I was about to play with Polsbo. So just a second.

SPEAKER_22

Is our mayor still Becky?

SPEAKER_20

No, it's a different mayor. I saw a protest in Kingston this week, and I wanted to show you the protests between Kingston and Minneapolis. Same people, folks. So this is the mayor of the mayor of Pulsbo, Washington. Oh. This is like our hometown. Yeah, yeah. And Jacob Frey there first is like, of course we can legally arrest them. Turns out we can't really arrest them, and how would we do it? Their guns are bigger. Well, this is the mayor of Prosebo explaining it a little bit more articulately.

SPEAKER_10

With that said, I want to state real clearly federal law trumps, and I say that advisedly. Federal law trumps state law, federal laws trumps municipal law. We're derivative of that system. Our powers and authorities come down from the federal government and the constitution. So let us not fool ourselves that we can slam a door here any more than we can anywhere else. So what I'm my takeaway from the last week is, and it will be on the city website this coming week, the Minneapolis Tribune did an excellent article detailing the 13 rights and privileges of citizens in regards to federal intervention, federal questioning, federal action of any kind. And so rather than giving people a false sense of security or virtue washing ourselves that does our people no good, we're going to be making and promulgating those 13 actions and rights that all citizens have and residents have.

SPEAKER_20

So he he said a little thing there that was a legal loophole. He said 13 protections that citizens get, those are your constitutional protections, right? Includes things like right to speech, due process, all that kind of stuff. But then he said, citizens and residents. That resident thing is a little bit tricky. A lot of people don't realize this, but when the country was founded, you were a citizen of your state. And as a citizen of the state, you were by default a citizen of the nation. That makes sense. After the 14th Amendment, after the Civil War, there was a huge discussion about what it meant to be a citizen. Because remember, prior to the Civil War, citizens were typically white. They were typically male, landowners. Owned land. Okay. So after that, everybody became a quote federal citizen. They created the District of Columbia and they house your citizenship in the District of Columbia. And so from that moment forward, you by default did not become a citizen of your state. You became a resident of it. You were a federal citizen and a state resident. This opens the door and creates this loophole where now suddenly you can have illegals come in and they're not federal citizens, but they get counted as residents. And they start to get looped into a lot of our citizens' constitutional protections for ease of processing. Literally, like for ease of processing. We just treat everybody the same, and then there's no questions about it. And that led to this huge confusion that suddenly an illegal alien who is a resident of a state suddenly has citizenship, federal constitutional protections. You do not, because you're technically not under the jurisdiction thereof, except to be thrown out. So uh Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation on CBS had Christy Noman, and she asks her about all these deportations. How many of them are actually criminals?

SPEAKER_13

What's the breakdown of the percentage of those who you have in custody who have actually committed a criminal offense versus just the civil infraction?

SPEAKER_14

Every single individual has committed a crime, but 70% of them have committed or have charges against them on violent crimes and crimes that they are charged with or have been convicted of, that have come from other countries, that are here illegally, first of all, and then they have committed a criminal act while they've been here or in their home countries as well. But it's not 70%. Yes, it is. Absolutely is 70% of everyone you guys are changing your percentage. You pick and choose what numbers you think work, but that is the fact is that 70% of the people that we have detained have charges against them or have been convicted of charges, and they need to be brought to justice. And we're going to keep doing that no matter how much you guys keep lying and don't tell the public the truth. It absolutely is that these law enforcement officers are out there every day doing the work to protect the American people, and they will keep doing that because they believe in enforcing the law, which is exactly what President Trump has charged them with.

SPEAKER_20

There's a great break. They're all in marked cars, right? So they figure out who they are and they just follow them, follow them, follow them until they block a road or something. And this truck comes up, and this ice agent rolls down his window, goes, You guys realize we're executing a warrant on a child sex trafficker, a child predator, right? A rapist. And the woman's like, Well, you're it's citizens, right? He's like, You guys are protecting a pedophile. Crazy, absolutely crazy, and rolls up his window and drives off. It's like, I can imagine a lot of these ice officers see why they're going after Pablo, and they're like, I cannot believe people are defending this guy. But again, what that officer did totally broke protocol. You don't have to disclose to a third party why you're arresting somebody, right? That's between you and the person you're arresting.

SPEAKER_22

Well, the thing that you just explained about the difference between citizenship and residence, and then this discussion that Christie just had on the news channel. If the news outlets would be more honest about this, would we have so many people in the streets defending or going against ice?

SPEAKER_20

Of course not. And we know there's more behind it, so we're gonna get to that okay. So go ahead, let's find out about some coffee.

Cities vs Feds: ICE Flashpoints

SPEAKER_22

Oh, yeah, let's do that. Boom. Come on, give me the coffee. It is not working.

SPEAKER_20

It is what it is. All right, well, thanks for hanging around, guys, through a bad commercial break there. Horrible.

SPEAKER_22

Go get your coffee. It's delicious.

SPEAKER_20

1775, it's awesome. Try it again, see if it'll go.

SPEAKER_22

It just won't. It just keeps throwing this up.

SPEAKER_20

It is what it is. Okay. All right, so this is coming from uh Project Veritas or O'Keefe Media Group. I can't keep the two straight anymore. They both kind of do the same thing. These are these Project Veritas clips. I wish that we could just just do a show only on Project Veritas clips. These guys do not get any legacy media airtime at all. Ever since they took down uh Acorn and then they've been tagged by Legacy Media. Don't let them on the news. Every now and then James O'Keefe would get a spot on you know, Fox News nighttime shows or something like that. But the stuff that he gets on these undercover videos, first of all, it's people that are inside the machine, have access, talk freely. They're completely sucked into one of the seven deadly sins is the way. Yeah, super damning. So this right here is a contracting officer for the Central Intelligence Agency. This is Gavin O'Blenis. And this was recorded March 22, 2024. It's just nugget after nugget after nugget. So listen to what a central intelligence agency, contracting officer, has to say about protests, fake news, and influencers, her influencers who start hitting on true topics that they don't want disclosed. Like a oh, so when a rally happens, then sometimes the bureau behind it, sometimes aka sometimes the bureau, FBI or the CIA is behind protests and rallies.

SPEAKER_24

Sometimes it's fake, it's challenged a little bit. Who would be like a big influencer? Influencer that you're after. Like a I don't know, like uh I don't even know these names.

SPEAKER_21

Like a Fox News person or like a Jacker Carlson or like oh, I'm sure he's always one of the biggest and loudest.

SPEAKER_24

Like that, what was his name? The one that said uh uh Sandy Hook didn't happen or something. Yeah, so we were after him. You are? Are you still after him? Why? Because he's broke. He got found guilty and had to pay like a hundred million dollars. So what what were you after him? We're not anymore. Just to get the money from? Yeah. Was that court case used? Was that in CNA case? That was the agency thing? Well actually it was a defamation. Civil uh we were looking at all of the spot combining a following second test, right? So even though it's technically not our well, not the agency definitely, but the Bureau, for instance. Yeah, it was not our purview, it's a civil, civil matter. Since they got all this access to this, and it's there.

SPEAKER_20

What can we even find? So they're spying on Alex Jones, going through his followers, the people that listen, right? We were going after Alex Jones. Well, it's civil. I mean, we didn't do it, but we did it, but he's broke now, so we're good. Okay, so this is how it this is how it rolls. So everything that's happening behind the scenes, we have to be pretty conscientious of whether it's real or not, even down to the protesters. So this isn't my uh my hometown. Go ahead and show the screen here, Ron. This is my hometown, and I'm pulling up on the intersection. I had to take an awkward angle of a picture, but I just got a little grasp of everybody who's out there at the corner protesting this weekend. And of course, you know, we say no to ice must go. Freedom, not fascism, no hate, no fear. Immigrants, welcome here. Now, this is a part of the county that has a less than 1% minority rate. So there is no immigrants here because they can't afford to live here. Okay, the answer's not here. So I did notice something though: gray hair, gray hair, gray hair, gray hair, gray hair, gray hair. Every single person out there that was protesting, and there was probably 25 of them, except for maybe three, had gray or very graying hair, like this woman here. Okay. Now, this same thing happened up in Minnesota this weekend. So here's a gentleman who's just like I was driving through an intersection, paying attention to who showed up to protest.

SPEAKER_04

So this is in Minnesota, guys. All right, and these are what you'll notice is the people who are standing here, they're all ver they're all elderly, okay? And I this happens in this spot specifically all the time. You notice nobody's honking for them. And the reason why nobody's honking for them is because nobody supports this. But what bothers me is the fact that there are elderly homes very close by this area.

SPEAKER_22

Let's go for a field trip, folks.

SPEAKER_04

It's like they're going and they're recruiting these people to do this. And it's exactly what it is. It's you know, it's it's really sad. But people don't agree with this. And I'm just showing you, this is in Minnesota. This is between Edina and Richfield. Nobody's honking for them, nobody cares. Nobody cares about this at all.

SPEAKER_20

I did notice that their fuel is$2.99 a gallon. Lucky ducks.

SPEAKER_22

My wife was complaining about that yesterday. She's like, Did you know the rest of the country is paying like$2 a gallon for gas? Like, yep.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah. I just another product that I I have one vice, and I buy a product pretty regularly for my one vice. And I just noticed the price went up about 40%. Like, like, you know, enough that I'm like, I don't know if I can have this vice anymore. And I'm I'm like, what's going on? New taxes January 1st. I'm like, oh my gosh. I'm like, look, they're not gonna get my money. I've I've cut that. Let's put it that way. So that's pretty interesting. He goes on to explain he thinks they're coming right out of the retirement homes. I don't know that necessarily. I didn't think the people I saw were coming out of a retirement home. He thinks it's being organized through case managers and stuff. Maybe to some degree. Maybe. But ultimately, what this to me screams out is just a bunch of boomers that spend all their time on Facebook. And just like the Russian Revolution, they showed up on a nice day to just be able to do that. And they got nothing better to do. And next thing you know, they're part of the stupid idiots that help usher in communist Russia. You know, if the peasants had any idea what was coming for them, they would have not done that. Now, Margaret Brennan asked Christy Gnome, uh, you know, Tim Waltz says he can handle this.

SPEAKER_13

And she comes up with a pretty good little clap back. Um, I asked you if you had put him on administrative leave. Uh, this is in question because the governor of Minnesota said the only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her. Is he correct that the federal agent is not being investigated in any way? Is there any review of protocol here?

Accountability Gaps And DOJ Concerns

SPEAKER_14

We are following the exact same investigative and review process that we always have under uh ICE and under the Department of Homeland Security and within the administration, the exact same policy that the Biden administration used. So he's exactly his actions are being. I would not listen to Governor Walls. He has a very bad track record. All this billions of dollars of fraud was stolen from people under his watch. He allowed it to happen. And he also ignored the law and allowed the city of Minneapolis to burn down in 2020. He certainly isn't a uh have good judgment in these types of situations, and I'm not going to be taking any advice from him and how we implement the law and protect people.

SPEAKER_20

One thing, when I was in DC, there was a January 6er that showed up in Missouri, and he was kind of one of these Antifa January 6ers, like didn't really fit in with the rest of the people, right? But one of the things was after January 6, he went on a little road trip and he went up to Minneapolis where the 2022 riots had happened. He went up to some other place where there was this uh alleged big Antifa encampment, and he went to the Antifa encampment, and what he saw on social media was it was this huge thing. It was like 10 tents. So every picture they had taken had made it seem like tents going on forever, but he said it was like 10 people. And then when he went to Minneapolis where it quote unquote burned down, it's like one city block. Now, one city block burning down in 2020 is not a small big deal. I mean, when a building burns down, it's like complete failure in the fire management, fire department, fire marshal, everybody's like, How did we let a building burn down? So a whole city block is no small thing, right? But he's his thing was it was way overemphasized on social media and online, and it wasn't really that big a deal when he got down on the street in Minnesota. And I would agree with that. There's a famous journalist who was in Egypt covering the revolution, the civil war they had. Ah, this has been 15 years ago, whenever they had their last big, huge you know, takeover. And he was sitting in a diner, eating breakfast, having a nice cappuccino, while four blocks away, Blackhawk helicopters and an entire coup was happening at the presidential palace and the Capitol building, and he missed it. He missed the whole thing, right? Because life goes on as normal. That's what it's like for peasants. If you're not heads up paying attention, you could be having your you know meal at a cafe one morning. There could be a complete government takeover, and the next morning the money from the previous government doesn't work anymore. Okay, and you're just going, I just want a cup of coffee and a Danish. You know what I'm saying? That is how, yes, my friend from Missouri, they didn't burn down all of Minneapolis, but a city block's a big deal. Look at what happened in Chaz. They're they were in court just this last month, still trying to figure out what happened with that homicide in Chaz Chop five years later, right? The wheels of justice turned turned slowly, but they grind finally. So Tim Waltz in 2020 let Minneapolis burn, aka didn't keep it under control. And when the riots broke out in Kenosha and Minneapolis, I remember we played this really interesting clip of these good old boys who showed up to defend their neighborhood with the AR 15s. And he goes, Before there was the government, there were Americans. So we're here to defend America, right? And it was like I remember clapping and cheering. Well, I don't know if this is one of Those boys, but we got a similar thing going on in Minnesota, except he's not out there fighting for you and I stuff. He's out there trying to defend his community from ice. This is where I start to get really concerned. So go ahead and clip to the screen here. This is a you or I, Ron. Just a just a white dude with a puffy jacket and a beard. That looks like me on January 6th, except he's got an AR-15 with a suppressor. Now normally I'd say two-A conservative. Maybe not the case.

SPEAKER_21

This is my block. This is my area. I don't go into other people's neighborhoods and try and intimidate them. I protect my people. Are you giving out your name? Uh no, I'm okay with that. Our neighborhood showing up. You guys had a better lot of people out here, right? At least 30 or more. 40 or 50. That's pretty good for a quick turnout.

SPEAKER_20

So, you know, he's just out there defending his neighborhood. Just, you know, I don't leave my neighborhood, but I'm out here defending mine. So what happens if Ice comes driving down the road right there to pick up a pedophile? Is that guy gonna point his AR-15 at him? I wonder how that's gonna end up. So, what does a civil war look like? What did the shot here heard around the world sound like in Boston? It's just a quiet shot. Just seems like that.

SPEAKER_22

This guy needs to go home and put that thing away.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe, maybe not come out and pick a side between the two uniformed sides that are going after each other.

SPEAKER_22

Right. I don't think it even matters what side you're on if you're standing on the corner with an AR-15.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, exactly. Now, Tim Waltz and Mayor Frye are now officially being investigated by the DOJ for their role in obstructing IC.

SPEAKER_34

And we're back with our breaking news internationally. A source tells CNN that the Justice Department is now investigating Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry and Minnesota Governor Tim Wals. Let's get straight to CNN Anchor and Chief White House correspondent Caitlin Collins. Caitlin, what exactly are they being investigated for?

SPEAKER_33

It's not totally clear yet, Jake. This is just breaking, and we have confirmed that the Justice Department is investigating Minnesota Governor Tim Walls and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye. A source familiar has told me that. That confirms uh what was reported earlier by CBS. And uh essentially, Jake, as we're still trying to figure out what exactly the contours of this investigation are. We have a pretty good idea so far. And we heard from the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch earlier this week, after we had heard these comments from Mayor Frye, from Governor Walls, following the shooting of a woman by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Uh, earlier this week, Todd Blanche was saying that ICE operates in a bunch of different counties without incidents going on. Um he referred to what's happening in Minnesota as an insurrection and said it's the direct results of a failed governor and an all-caps uh terrible mayor, who he accused of encouraging violence against law enforcement, something that Todd Blanche called disgusting. And he said, I'm focused on stopping you from your terrorism by whatever means necessary. So, Jake, I think that gives us a pretty good uh sense of what exactly it is that the Justice Department is at least trying to base this investigation off of. Where it goes, it's not really clear right now, but this does come as the FBI director and the deputy attorney general were seen in Minneapolis today as they've been surging law enforcement to the area, as those tensions have only continued since the shooting of Renee Good. But it does show you, Jake, who the Justice Department is is focusing their targets on when it comes to the aftermath of the shooting of Renee Good here. And right now it is the Minnesota Governor Tim Walls and the mayor here, both of whom have been criticized by multiple White House officials for their comments, including Mayor. No, basically.

SPEAKER_20

So I think that's good. Now, as of this morning, uh Mayor Frey and Governor Waltz have not received any kind of subpoenas or warrants or anything like that. So it's all talk and bluster, which goes back to that John Solomon clip with Pam Bondi. You know, I was indicted within 24 hours of January 6th.

SPEAKER_22

Right.

SPEAKER_20

So what's up?

Protests, Optics & Astroturf

unknown

You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_20

What's up? Uh I don't get it.

SPEAKER_22

We know you guys know how to do it.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah. So just for a little comedy break as we change topics here, this is Marco Rubio, who is quickly becoming, I think he already is, my favorite Secretary of State ever.

SPEAKER_28

All right, let's go. What the hell is that? Military operations, but it's not with me. The other day, some guys led a riot. I forgot what university it was, and I asked, please, can you find the arrest records of all the people that were arrested at that riot at that campus? Because if any of them have a visa, we're gonna revive. I feel so no one's entitled to a student visa. The press covers student visas like there's some sort of birthright. No, a student visa is like me inviting you into my home. If you come into my home and put all kinds of crap on my couch, I'm gonna kick you out of my house. How about the student visas? Let me say this. I don't deport anybody and I don't snatch anybody. The State Department does not have officers in the street snatching everybody. What I do is revoke visas, and it's very simple. A visa is a is not a right, it is a privilege. Fund me some crazy stuff. Crazy stuff. You tell me, how does a puppet show in in some country around the world make a stronger, safer, and more prosperous country? So we got rid of puppet shows and a bunch of other things. I'm sure they're a very good puppet show. And I'm sure that a bunch of charities in the world can go pay for it, but the American taxpayers should not. Well, I can go on. I mean, there's other things here. We spent$227,000 for Big Cat's YouTube channel from USAID.$14 million for social cohesion in Mali, whatever the hell that means. I don't think that the European Union gets to determine what international law is. They certainly don't get to determine is how the United States defends its national security.

SPEAKER_20

Every one of those is going to be a quote in a textbook someday.

SPEAKER_22

I feel like I could do that job now. Huh? I feel like I could do that job now.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, like he's broken the ice. All you gotta do is come in and be a little sarcastic. I'd retweet the Marco Rubio got a new job memes. There are so many of them. Well, he keeps getting new jobs. He's the Ayatollah of Iran, and he's the president of Venezuela, president of Harvard. Like the funny one is where he has the mixed costumes, and he's got like a Russian Federation, like president of Ukraine, and he's got like his his uh Eskimo hat for Dreamland, and it's just hilarious. Scott Bessant was on with again, uh, this isn't Kristen Welker. I can't remember. This is our favorite uh the lizard eyes. And she's talking about the Fed, right? And basically trying to compare the Fed's renovation to the White House's renovation.

SPEAKER_06

The White House are not the uh 700 million, more than a billion, a billion five, the uh over over budget, Kristen. And the White House that is being paid for with private funds. If I want to if I want to buy a new chair for my office at Treasury, that is an appropriation. Just to understand, the Federal Reserve has magic money, they print their own money. So when you have no oversight, why not why not have a little sunlight? Kristen, I have called it since last summer for the Fed to do its own internal investigation, and that has not been heated. Not been not been heated. And again, I I don't know about you. When I receive inquiry, if I were to receive inquiries from the Justice Department, I would answer them. They went unanswered.

SPEAKER_20

So the Justice Department or the Federal Reserve thinks they're above the law, they don't have to answer Justice Department subpoenas, and more than that, they print their own money, they are outside of appropriations. Hello, hello, you know, Supreme Court. Oh, tariffs are a tax. So is when the Federal Reserve prints money for a renovation that's unallocated and unappropriated. That is a tax on you and me, right? Just another one of those, like, huh? These guys are like cheating. They've got magic money printers. You know what else they have? Magic ballots, and they can make real ballots go away. They can literally burn them. Here's Patrick Byrne talking with Edmund Robinson about the undercover footage of the election warper tearing up ballots and admitting he will be burning them later.

SPEAKER_19

There's so many federal crimes you're looking at right there.

SPEAKER_23

Here they are talking about actually burning those tally tapes, right? Those receipts. Let's listen to that and then discuss.

SPEAKER_20

He's ripping up ballots. Mom, I didn't have to rip it up.

SPEAKER_22

I thought they were doing poll tabs.

SPEAKER_29

We are officially picking up a little camp box.

SPEAKER_19

That box says November 3rd, 2020 uh unreviewed tally sheets. Like those had never been turned in. That's what they're ripping up. So they're saying we've never turned in to the proper authorities these tally sheets, which means one can assume they turned in some other tally sheets that had whatever they wanted on them. But I promise you, Biden did well. They've got these tally sheets that have never been turned in. And it says in the box, November 3rd, 2020, tally sheets that have not been unsubmitted or something like that. And they took them and they just ripped them all up. That's so many federal crimes. That is so many federal crimes you're looking at right there.

SPEAKER_20

Every single one of those ballots being ripped is a federal crime. We've recently talked about a couple people that have been charged with five ballots, filling out five ballots out in Pasco, Washington for people in a retirement center and they're going to spend a couple of years in federal prison. Okay. That's that guy just sitting there, a whole box. That's five, ten, thousand, twenty, twenty-five, thirty. Okay, so that's the raw ballots. Mike Lindell obviously has been litigating a lot of this stuff in court, and they had a court case where two separate times in court live, while the judge was watching, they hacked the machines using a ballpoint pin that they could get into the courtroom. Because remember, when you go in the courtroom, it's no cell phones, no whatever. So they still hacked it right in front of the judge with a ballpoin.

Project Veritas Claims And Influence

SPEAKER_01

He in front of the judge took a ballpoin, hacked into the machine, flipped the whole election, and he did it twice in front of the judge. Now the judge is trapped. And I felt sorry for that judge. I go, what is she gonna do? Because this is like the mafia days. Here's what the judge, when she said this to go forward, I guarantee she thought, oh, there's gonna be nothing to see there. I'll be able to, you know, let's move this forward and they can show that their machines are just fine and dandy. Well, now she's trapped. And I said this judge will never let this go. Um, well, she'll never say, hey, we got to get rid of them uh before the 2024 election because she would be, you know, it'd be a bad deal for her. So what and I knew that. So here's here think of uh organized crime. Hello, judge. Um, you're live, you're living with a pretty nice family. Um, how are you doing today? You know, uh, I'm sure that you're gonna be make the right uh decision. And not even taking what it is, because this is how deep this goes. Now, you go past the 2024 election. Here we are, and I think it was March of this year. This judge finally makes a ruling. You know what it was? She kicks after seven years, kicks the case out with no standing. This was Democrats and Republicans. Seven years she said this had standing, brought it in, went to court, and that's just so a judge can have an out. And that gave her an out.

SPEAKER_20

Seven years and she hadn't decided on the thing you have to decide on day one standing. So we got to the point where she watched the machine flip votes and then just tossed the whole case out. That's that was last year.

SPEAKER_22

Weak.

SPEAKER_20

So when people are like, oh, all that the courts have seen all these cases, yeah, and a few of them were damning. Okay, now we've got ghosts in the machine, right? Where's all the money going? You can see what they're doing with the elections, clearly not paying attention, super obvious stuff. Can't rip up ballots, can't take them to a campfire, you can't have machines that can flip elections right in broad daylight because of a ballpoint pin, right? And on top of that, hey, wouldn't it be a good idea that the people who work for government be real people that are cashing those paychecks?

SPEAKER_12

You cut 2,000 jobs in state government and you didn't lay off one worker, that's 2,000 ghost employees, ghost jobs that we cut, and there's at least 3,000 more, and we're finding more every day. But that was 200 million dollars for the 2,000 ghost employees.

SPEAKER_20

That's in the state of Michigan. They fired 2,000 employees without a single worker going home. What I don't I'm I'm I get I don't get it. What what? Okay, so this story goes back about three or four months ago. We found out in Michigan that they had ghost employees because they're getting paychecks that don't exist. So where was the money going? Good freaking question, Wong. AIDS double paying certain people. There's an all on the the TV show The Office, there's a scene where they create a fake salesman. So when they reach their commission tax, they give the sales to the fake salesman so that he can get the bigger commissions and then they just take it. Well, it turns out to be a little bit of a problem, and you know, who's this person? That's what's going on in the state of Michigan. They're paying non-existent employees, just like the non-existent people on Social Security. It's a grift, Ron. It's a grift. How about this? A woman in California is homeless, and she's one of these people that's homeless because of the life situation, can't afford rent, but she works, she's making a sincere effort. Well, she's trying to get all the assistance that's available to citizens and residents of California, right? But turns out she's a little bit more capable than their sister.

SPEAKER_00

Wow, watch this. A California homeless woman told a city council she was listed as sheltered at Interfaith Community Services, which is government funded, even though she was living in her car, which she said made her ineligible for services elsewhere. How many homeless people might be incorrectly listed as sheltered, but they're not? Listen here.

SPEAKER_31

This is their mission and their legal responsibility under their contracts and public funding. I was in the shelter for 60 days, fully compliant, document ready, and waiting to be matched for housing. I have as of today, I've been also um listed as being still there at the shelter for two weeks. I have not been there. I'm still on the street filling in my car back further than I was before. Because I was not uh um entered into the clarity system not even once the whole 60 days I was there. Um that it's listing me as an active client, right? Which is funding me even though I exited the program. This creates false data, misrepresents services delivered, and prevents other agencies from helping me because the system shows I am already being served. Interfaith is supposed to be housing navigation. Instead, I lost six days of critical time of my life. I I know uh I remain I'm I'm remaining homeless and I received none of the promised assistance with re transportation reimbursements or domestic violence housing prioritization. I'm asking the city for accountability, oversight, and transparency. Public funds should not be supporting agencies that fail to deliver services they are contracted to provide.

SPEAKER_20

So even without discussing raw corruption, we simply have a system that's not working. Here's a woman, she's articulate, she comes up and talks, she can read, she doesn't look strung out on drugs, and she's like, hey, I fell on hard times. She mentions domestic violence, violence. She goes to a shelter, 60 days, supposed to be enrolled in a housing program, 60 days, you're out. They're still getting paid for her being there. She's living in her car. She goes to apply for other benefits. They're like, oh, you can't get these benefits because you're on the rolls at the shelter. But I haven't been at the shelter. This is happening to my friend Earl, who I was in prison with. He spent 43 months in federal prison. Then before trial or anything, he has his case just randomly dismissed. Then he gets thrown out on the streets. He goes to the VA. He goes to the homeless shelters. They're going to give him teeth. They're going to do this. They're going to help him find a job. None of it, none of it, none of it, none of it ever happens. He's been out now for six, seven months. He's still waiting for the things they promised him that he would get 20 days after he was released. It it to me, it screams out. I've I've sent this link to my friend Earl, and I was like, you gotta watch this, man. You got to just get out of the system. You would honestly be better off just going and getting in a job, sleeping on the park benches, and just avoid the entire system because they're sucking you in. They're not providing anything. In fact, they're kind of keeping you in a song and dance because you got these meetings in the middle of the day, 10 a.m., one o'clock. You can't have a job when you're trying to meet with case managers. You know what I mean? In the middle of the day?

SPEAKER_26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_20

Really big deal. Now, this uh all the way out here in Washington State, this is a woman who did start doing research on child centers here in Washington State. And in one single hour, she found a whole bunch of these ghost kids.

SPEAKER_00

Well, it was definitely Nick Shirley's work in Minnesota. And when he started showing up at daycares, I'm like, you know what? I bet you anything we have a similar situation going on here in California. What I did was I went straight to the source. I went to Gavin Neesome's own department of child services. I started reviewing reports. And these were from inspectors that were showing up to license daycares. They were licensed for eight kids, for 15 kids, 21, 28. And on the reports, it clearly says, you know, 28 kids enrolled, but then the state would show up unannounced, sometimes within just eight days, and there were zero kids there. What are the odds? In the middle of the day, in the middle of the week, during normal business hours, that's when I started calling them ghost daycare. So what I did was I went to the state's own website and I searched San Diego County alphabetically. So I wasn't focusing on any kind of surnames or ethnicity. I was just starting off at A and going there. And this was all happened on a Sunday. It was shocking, but not surprising what I found. I found three ghost daycares within the first hour.

SPEAKER_20

Well, definitely go visit them. It was in California's own reports.

SPEAKER_22

They already know.

SPEAKER_20

They already know. They're already letting this happen.

SPEAKER_22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_20

And this might cause a peasant to ask himself, why would they let it happen? Why would they let it happen? Well, there's this little principle we call projection. So here's an example of projection. This is Alden Bunag. Okay, and this is from a couple years ago, 2022. He goes, You're effing acting like we want to show kids porn or something. And he's talking about uh all of the drag time story hour and the books in school. But something I've learned through the years is whatever right-wingers accuse others of something, it's definitely because they're projecting. And then fast forward to 4-622 or fast forward to 617-22, same year. And this is Oahu, same guy. Substitute teacher Alden Bunag was charged Wednesday in a criminal complaint filed in federal court for distributing childprint.

SPEAKER_22

Oh, dang it.

SPEAKER_20

So everything that they're accusing you of doing, even when they're accusing you of projecting, they're often projecting. Does that make sense? This is here local in Seattle, Ron. Some of our big charities, these people that are in charge of the homeless crisis and the drug crisis. Turns out they had a hand in both buckets.

Elections, Machines & Ghost Payrolls

SPEAKER_37

Now at 11, federal prosecutors are expanding the case against the Kent family accused of trafficking fentanyl across western Washington. Thanks for joining us here at 11 on Preston Phillips. The group is linked to a former nonprofit director who was given taxpayer money to prevent. Violence in Seattle and said prosecutors say she and her family were distributing deadly fentanyl in huge quantities for years. Come with Jeremy Harris live tonight in Seattle with his Operation Crime and Justice update. Jeremy.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah, Preston, this first this case first came to light about a year and a half ago when the Department of Justice dropped stunning allegations linking a well-known Seattle community activist to a fentanyl trafficking ring. Since that time, this case has mostly stayed out of the headlines, but we now know prosecutors Oh, I wonder why. More charges against more people as the first of now nearly two dozen defendants has pleaded guilty.

SPEAKER_17

My name is Marty Jackson. I'm the Southeast Network Executive Director at the Boys and Girls Clubs of King County.

SPEAKER_20

Marty Jackson was look at how put together she looks. She's got the uniform, everybody's in blue, she's got a crowd, she's talking seriously.

SPEAKER_18

This is who we're up against. Trusted by Seattle leaders. She routinely appeared on TV as her organization, the Southeast Network, won lucrative contracts to provide violence interruption in Seattle schools.

SPEAKER_17

Part of these connections help us to build the safety net that allow for kids not to fall through the cracks or to feel outcasted in their communities.

SPEAKER_18

She also provided community safe spaces, one of which was the target of a mass shooting in 2023.

SPEAKER_17

The overwhelming response we got from the community, especially from our young people, asking us and telling us you have to go back.

SPEAKER_18

You have to get back in space. But federal charges alleged she was laundering money on behalf of her son, Marquise Jackson, and her husband Mandel, who prosecutors say were the leaders of a nationwide fentanyl trafficking ring. Now investigators have charged 23 people as part of the conspiracy. And after a year and a half, the first defendant, Michael Young, has pleaded guilty and was sentenced to seven years in prison.

SPEAKER_20

Document seven years of fentanyl, money laundering, drug trafficking across the world, and they're gonna mention here for sure overdose and deaths.

SPEAKER_26

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_20

Same sentence as me.

SPEAKER_18

Same sentence as me. From his sentencing gave more insight into the federal investigation, including that the Jackson Drug Trafficking Organization would use couriers to drop off ghost bags at the airport and ship drugs in protein containers and transport drugs using hollowed-out vehicle tires. Prosecutors have tied them to nearly a million individual pills, as well as kilos of fentanyl powder, cocaine meth, guns, and cash. Prosecutors say the group unquestionably led to overdose and death. Now, all the defendants, except for Young, have pleaded not guilty. Some of them are being held in custody at the Federal Detention Center in CTAC, while some are on pretrial release. The sentencing range here, if convicted, especially for those ringleaders, could range from 10 years to up to life in prison.

SPEAKER_20

So those trusted people that we give all that government money to the nonprofits to make sure they prevent violence and crime and drug use in our neighborhood. Really well used. Ron, you want to know a funny joke?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I guess a government is excellent and uses your tax dollars efficiently. I love Ron Swanson.

SPEAKER_20

The government is excellent and uses your tax dollars excellently. This is Scott Besson again on with Kristen Welker at Meet the Press. I hope I'm getting that right. Is that right? Yeah, Kristen Welker at Meet the Press talking about Greenland. Greenland is fascinating. Something interesting came up. Scott Besson's gonna mention something that the Danish did to the Greenlanders all the way up until the 1980s. Just listen to it, it's clip.

SPEAKER_05

Senior Democrats say there are no pressing threats on Greenland security from Russia or China. The Danish foreign minister says there hasn't been a Chinese warship in Greenland for a decade. What evidence do you have that this is a pressing threat?

SPEAKER_06

Well, first of all, Kristen, we have asymmetric information and again asymmetric information as if we know what's really going on. President Trump is being strategic here. What evidence was there that the Russians were going into Crimea? What evidence was it? Well, actually, there was a lot of evidence that the Russians were gonna go into Ukraine, and Joe Biden said, well, just take a little bit of it. But what we know is that the US, that Greenland can only be defended if it is part of the US. And it will not need to be defended if it is part of the U.S. The president is trying to avoid a conflict.

SPEAKER_20

Okay, so he didn't mention the part I wanted to mention here. He's gonna mention it in the next clip, but first we're gonna lead to the clip that I was gonna tell you was gonna support what he said. So this is a Greenland resident who's talking about how the Danish made her sterile. They had a sterilization program in Greenland to keep the population suppressed all the way up until the 80s.

SPEAKER_30

We thought I knowing it when I was um told me to come to the hospital in my hometown when I said in Greenland. And then I was 12 or 13, and second time they told me to come again when I was 14 or 15, and I didn't know that. I used to have so I couldn't have a baby. I have many struggles in my family. A lot of uh surgeries, a lot of uh complications. I cannot have a baby. I lost my baby. So it's uh genocide. And they say it's not genocide, they make an excuse and say it's a cultural genocide, they make it pretty.

SPEAKER_20

So the Danish, as recently as the 1980s, were uh committing genocide on the Greenlanders to suppress the population, right? But oh, but we have a right to rule this place. You talk about colonial rule and stuff like that. This is one of the last bastions of colonial rule, right? And they were doing that to the Greenlanders like up till recently. This is where Scott Bessant mentions that. What right did the Danish have to rule Greenland?

SPEAKER_05

And annex all of Greenland, something that 85% of people living in Greenland oppose.

SPEAKER_06

Well, again, and look, let's let's look back. Denmark has a terrible history with Greenlanders. There was forced sterilizations up until the 80s or the 90s. So all of a sudden, now that the U.S. has expressed an interest, there is this new interest. And again, the United States needs to be in control to prevent a war, and that we do not want to get dragged into someone else's war.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, of course. And they're saying that Canada very well may be the next Ukraine, which is one of the reasons why Trump is so adamant about getting out in front of it and getting control of Ukraine.

SPEAKER_22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_20

So over the weekend, right? Like last week, the Danish came, the Danish and the Greenlanders came to meet with Trump. They were like, we're not gonna give up. And you know, the Americans were like, no, you are, and they're like, Well, they haven't budget off their position. Well, a bunch of countries, I can't remember all of which, but it was France and England and whatever, they were like, Well, we're gonna defend England. They made statements. So Trump came out and said, Well, I'm gonna add 10% tariffs, and then on June 1st, if you're still not into me getting Greenland, I'm gonna make it 25%. So, you know, Germany had sent some troops, and France had sent some troops. They literally like sent a singular person to go show force in Greenland. They actually did this. Okay. So Donald Trump was asked about this about Denmark sending some troops along with Germany. He said, Listen, if you don't support my position on Greenland, I'm terrifing you. Germany already pulled back their troops. Like in one day, they're like, ah, we're we're not, this isn't, we're not really into this fight. Donald Trump gets asked about it.

SPEAKER_29

About things such as uh not gonna happen. Uh, we're not, you know, I can't rely on Denmark being able to fend themselves off. You know, they were talking about they put an extra dog, and they were serious about this. They put an extra dog sled there last uh month. They added a second dog sled. That's not gonna do the track. Denmark fought alongside the United States and go back and thank you for telling me that I appreciate it. I have a very good relationship with Denmark, and we'll see how it all works out. I think something will work out.

Broken Safety Nets And Ghost Daycares

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, they sent another dog sled team, and they were serious about it. They were. I don't know if I covered it. I had it teed up in the show. I'm not sure if I covered it or not, but they were like adding second dog sled for patrol. And it was yeah, because that'll stop the intercontinental ballistic missile. Yeah. Even John Svetterman sees the ridiculous uh ridiculousness of the argument for people on his side of the political aisle that are arguing against taking Greenland.

SPEAKER_16

Do you think military force is really an option from the Trump administration? No, no. I I I mean, I I no, I think that's true. I mean, no one knows that's not uh an option. And you know, for for me though, it's also undeniable that one, this is not a brand new conversation. Truman and other in the past offered to buy it there, and now I also remind people it's actually closer to us geographically, North America to Denmark and Europe to technically that too. So it's not an absurd, absurd idea at all.

SPEAKER_20

Do you think military it's not an absurd idea? I'm telling you, I love Fetterman more and more. He can barely get a full sentence out. But all the all the key words are there.

SPEAKER_22

Did you see that setup they had? Yeah, like tons of holy smokes. Did you see the light panels?

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, they're like full sheets of plywood, something like battles being cast in there. So that ultimately leads up to this.

SPEAKER_11

As tensions rise between NATO and the US, French troops have arrived in Greenland to help begin training the local population on how to surrender to the United States. Updates on the joint mission are expected in the coming days.

SPEAKER_20

That's where we're headed. All right, guys, that's it for the private today. We are gonna jump, or excuse me, the public, we're gonna jump over to the private, and we're gonna talk just a little bit about Canada. Okay, so this I'll this uh one of the things that happened this last week, well, I think it was Friday, was the old Canadian truckers protest. This was like right after we had our January 6th protest, and or did we was it 2020, then Canadian truckers, then January 6th? I can't remember now the order. Either way, the Canadian truck truckers up there, they they held Ottawa hostage, they just parked their trucks and they started having parties and they got debanked and they got jackbooted, and it was a whole bunch of stuff. Well, turns out the court cases have finally made their way to the cat to the Canadian Supreme Court.

SPEAKER_25

And are you ready for this? I have massive breaking news. Here we go. Chief Justice De Montigny, Justice Laskin, and Justice McTavish just ruled today, January 16th, that the Federal Court of Appeal dismisses all appeals from the Liberal government against those involved with the convoy, that the Emergencies Act was unlawfully invoked in 2022. No national emergency under the law, no or sorry, proof provinces had the tools to handle the situation. CESIS had found no threat to national security, freedom of expression was violated, that bank account freezes violated section eight of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of Canada, that no reasonable grounds or safeguards were placed, the federal court ruling is fully upheld, and the government lost, and civil liberties have won. We were right, we knew we were right, they violated the charter, they overstepped, let the lawsuits begin.

SPEAKER_20

Wow. Too bad the damage is done, so we'll see how those lawsuits turn out. But the damage isn't completely over yet because that 2022 truckers protest was kind of like our January 6th. It's the moment where Americans stood up and went, you know what, there's just too many things. We can't look at the elections, we can't look at corruption, we can't look at all these other problems. There's too many things. In Canada, they're doing the same thing. Now we've covered this Alberta succession movement. This is, I don't know who this is. This is one of their politicians up there, and he's talking about exactly why Canada needs to do this and why all the naysayers are, oh, you'll be a landlocked. Doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_09

Let's start with the myths. One is well, we can't become independent because we'll become landlocked. Well, you can become landlocked in one of two ways. You can become landlocked by geography, a province or a country can, and you can also become landlocked by policy. We have the worst of both right now in Canada because we want access to the Pacific, to the coast of British Columbia. But under the Canadian Constitution, we have no ability as a province to restrict interprovincial trade. And we have no ability uh under the Constitution to force the British Columbia government to accept our pipeline and the transportation of our goods to markets in Asia and elsewhere. So right now we're policy locked and we can't get our goods out uh to the West to the Pacific. If Alberta becomes an independent country, then we're not constrained by Canada's Constitution, and we'll be able to negotiate on equal footing with British Columbia. British Columbia uh transports$17 billion worth of goods from British Columbia annually through Alberta by by highway and rail. And it includes everything from their wine and agricultural products to their metals that they produce in their mines, whether it's zinc and lead and copper and other things, it includes all their timber and forestry and pulp products, and it contain includes all the container goods that come into their ports at Prince Rupert in Vancouver, all of those containers from Asia that are filled with the stuff you buy at Walmart and Canadian Tire, that all has to go through Alberta. So Alberta as a free country, as a nation, will be in a position to say to British Columbia, we're open to letting you transport your goods to markets in eastern Canada and eastward, but we're not prepared to do that unless you're prepared to let our goods go through your province to the markets that we want to reach. So this idea that we would be landlocked is we're landlocked now by policy because the federal government's attitude and approach and the constraints of the Canadian Constitution, all those constraints will be lifted and we'll be able to exercise the power of a nation state in negotiations with British Columbia and leverage the fact that they need us as much or more than we need them to enter into a fair trading arrangement for so both parties' goods can pass unconstrained.

SPEAKER_20

It feels like that makes a lot of sense to me.

SPEAKER_22

What he said made sense so that they could argue on similar footing, but um then his argument all of a sudden fell apart to me because isn't aren't they able to constrain trade through their province just like British Columbia is able to constrain trade through British Columbia?

SPEAKER_20

No, they can't. That's the point. Is that their constitution you know, from the federal side, they can say allow transport from British Columbia to Toronto, and it runs right across Alberta. But the federal government in cahoots with British Columbia will not allow Alberta to run a pipeline to the coast.

SPEAKER_22

I see. So it's unfair treatment.

SPEAKER_20

It's unfair treatment because the government gangs up with the environmentalists in British Columbia and says, Alberta, you're you're tough luck.

SPEAKER_22

I didn't realize that British Columbia was getting federal help for their trade. I didn't realize that.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, it's just, you know, the DC is like you have to allow everything on the roads. And so Alberta can't stop it, but at the same time, they can't get a pipeline built. And of course, policy disallows them from selling to market the way they want to.

SPEAKER_22

So yeah, it makes a lot of sense.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah. All right, guys, that's it for the show today. We will talk to you again tomorrow. Bye.

SPEAKER_08

Matt, sorry. What I drift in that car to everyone. I'm 37. What? I'm 37, I'm not old. But I can't just call you Matt. You could say dentists. I didn't know you were called Dennis. You're supposed to find out, did you? I didn't say sorry about the old woman. But from behind you, you always make three experiences. Supreme executive powers derived from messages from the message, not from some classic or like a wedding service. But you can't expect to wield supreme executive power. Just because some water is hard for a sort of way around. Just because some poison drink has not just made a wise. Just wheels just now we see a violence in heaven in the system. That's what I'm on about. Do you see a repression me? You saw it in you.
