When Optics Beat Outrage: How Narratives Decide What We Believe

A week of subzero miles ended with the most unlikely classroom: a middle seat between two sharp Zoomers on a six-hour flight. A joke about tattoos cracked open a real conversation about immigration, kids’ safety, and why emotions keep outpacing facts. That same lens helps decode the rest of the episode: hospice storefronts in Los Angeles with no patients, organized networks milking Medicaid with paper-perfect compliance and empty rooms, and the missing ingredient that fixes it—feet on the ground and doors actually knocked.

We also unpack a fast-moving swirl around Ilhan Omar: a winery valuation that doesn’t match reality, vanished web traces, and a spray incident that rapidly flipped the storyline from scrutiny to sympathy. What wins in moments like this isn’t truth; it’s optics. Which is why the Minnesota standoff matters. Instead of viral street clips, we walk through how shifting ICE enforcement to jails preserves the law, defuses the narrative trap, and forces leaders to choose between shielding violent offenders and cooperating with federal authority. Glenn Beck’s counterinsurgency frame makes it click: don’t die on someone else’s hill—change the terrain.

Underneath all of it is a simple test: can we agree that two plus two equals four? If yes, we can protect kids with common-sense boundaries, confront fraud whether it’s Somali, Armenian, or political, and stop pretending paperwork equals truth. We close by widening the lens to Iran and deterrence without promising a forever war, and—because life is stranger than headlines—a credible Bigfoot account from Marines at Quantico. It’s a wild mix, but the throughline holds: pick the ground, verify in the real world, and don’t let narratives choose your facts.

It's the little guys, the little guys that take the brunt of everything. It's gotta stop. Peasants, man. 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.

SPEAKER_07 1:39

I'm hoping that did it. Check, check, check on sound. Yes, all right, perfect. Thank you so much. Mariasel, yes. Forejo five by five, good. We are all good this morning. Okay, so what I was saying was I am back in town, back in the Pacific Northwest. It is sure good to be home. Um this last week I feel like I've just been dealing with nothing but extreme weather. Uh I went to Wisconsin and uh spent some time out there, and they were having the coldest snap that they've had in a decade or long time. It was negative 18 degrees at one point on the car thermometer. That is really cold. And of course, lots of snow on the ground and stuff like that. And then after I got done with my business in Wisconsin, doing a birthright screening, welcome anybody who's joining us from that audience. I'm glad to have you here. And uh then I headed headed east, headed down across Illinois and got to drive through Chicago. I'll reflect a little bit maybe later on my thoughts of driving through Chicago because I ended up kind of diverting and going into some of the side roads and things like that. And then uh I ended up driving over Indiana, over the top of Indiana, and I ended up staying all the way across Ohio and ended up staying in Youngstown, Ohio. And I sat in Youngstown, Ohio and watched this huge winter storm roll across me and uh about a foot, foot and a half of snow on the ground there. And then on, let's see, Sun Monday morning, Monday morning I took off. Roads were mostly plowed, mostly cleared, and I crossed the entire state of Pennsylvania, across to New York, and headed all the way into Connecticut, where I grabbed the hotel and then I headed over to uh record the podcast with quite frankly. So welcome anybody who's joining us from the Quite Frankly show, the Franklys, Peasants. Welcome, the Franklys. Franklys is the evening show, the peasants are the morning show. So glad to have you guys. And uh, I was very inspired by Frank. I loved his studio. Uh, we're gonna do some things a little bit differently around here. I'll tell you one thing about going to the Quite Frankly show and to see his great studio and his setup is we're close. We've got a lot of the same equipment, we've got a lot of the same tools. We're just not using them 100%. So we're gonna try to clean up our act a little bit and be less of a uh gonzo podcast and try to up our production level a little bit. But man, what a great experience to go out with him. So thank you so much, Frank. And if anybody didn't catch the episode, it's the quite frankly show. You can find them pretty much anywhere Rumble, YouTube, all of your audio podcasts, and uh it was the Monday show, so January 26th. Anyways, go take a listen to it. It was a J6 retrospective. We touched on things that are happening in Somalia. Um, it was a I I thought it was a really good show. So it was kind of interesting, you peasants, you traveled with me, right? We kind of had a couple hit and miss episodes here and there, and it was amazing how many places you guys were reaching out to me and like telling me to stay safe in the weather and things like that. So I really appreciate it. That was that was a lot of fun to have you guys kind of uh you know praying for me and stuff like that. Uh whole trip went off without a hitch. I was careful. I've gotten to the point where like it wasn't even worth driving in the snow. I could have driven driven across Pennsylvania like following a snowplow or something, but uh it wasn't worth it. So, anyways, so thank you so much, you guys, for being patient for kind of the weird show schedule. We'll get back at our regular schedule here. Um, I had a uh uh probably you know a lot of highlights from my trip, but the thing that's fresh on my mind was last night flying back from Newark. I ended up flying out of Newark, New Jersey to fly a direct flight back to Seattle. It's a six-hour flight, and uh, which is incredible. You know, it used to take like a year and a half, two years to cross the country. Now you can do it in a quarter of a day. It's, you know, I mean, it's just it's incredible. I mean, anybody who doesn't think air travel is incredible is nuts. But uh I ended up sitting next to two Zoom waffins, right? So on my right hand side was an 18-year-old who had been in New York for a week, kind of deciding if she wanted to move from Seattle area out to New York and live that life. And then there was another young lady who was a little bit older, I'm not sure it's her exact age, but I peg her somewhere around 30, a little couple years younger, maybe a couple years older. And uh, anyways, she is from, she lives in New York. She's also from Seattle, she was returning home for the week. And uh, anyways, she voted for Mandami. She is a New York Jew, um, she's very pro-Israel. We talked about that, the issue over in Palestine. I found it very, very interesting. Um, one of the things that I've said on this podcast is we can't vote our way out of an indoctrinated society. And anytime I spend a significant amount of time with the Zoomer waffins, I want to find out what they think, especially if they're on the left side. And I'll tell you, it was really interesting because it was like thing after thing. We had a great discussion. The whole thing started out about a discussion about a tattoo. I was in the middle seat, right? And I'm a big guy, and I got these two ladies on the other side, so I'm like sitting like this. And the whole discussion started out over messed up tattoos. Because the one gal had a tattoo that said that was in Arabic, and she had another tattoo that was in Hebrew. And I thought, huh, that's an interesting combination of languages to have. So, anyways, we started talking about funny tattoos, and I shared a story about someone in prison that got a tattoo that was supposed to say country, and it said county, and they'd forgotten the R. And uh, anyways, it was like, where did that happen? And I was like, Oh, it was in, I don't hesitate to tell you guys, but it was when I was in I was in prison. So then, of course, that opened up discussion about January 6th, and that's where we started talking about politics and Donald Trump. Our discussion was non-stop, it went for six straight hours. It it centered around topics of immigration, it centered around topics of transgender rights and boys and girl sports and talked um talked about all kinds of different things. And it was really interesting talking to them because neither one of them have kids. And so when it came to the topic of, you know, men in women's locker rooms, you know, they were like, well, what if someone is transitioned and they're fully convinced in their head that they're a cis, a cis woman, you know, a woman, they're trans woman and they want to go to the women's locker room. And I mean, they're fully convinced they're taking medication and all that kind of stuff. And I'm like, well, how do you differentiate that from a pervert who just puts on some makeup and a wig and goes into a girl's locker room, who is thoroughly convincing when he talks to the police officers that he's a transgender woman? Where do you draw the line? Like, at what point can you make these distinctions? And then we talked about avoidance. I said, you know, with as a father with teenagers, you know, despite my opinions or best efforts, right, biology is going to take its course. So there's a reason why I tell my teenage boys when he's out on a date with girls to be home by midnight, right? Because, hey, there might be temptation, but I promise you the opportunity for temptation is going to accelerate after midnight when you're a teenager. There's nothing good going on with, you know, the two sexes being together after midnight when you're teenagers. The risks are too high, despite your moral judgments, right? Life decisions can happen in a blink of an eye for you adults that you know have kids that have come as a surprise, you know what I'm talking about. So, point being, I'm like, so one of the things conservatives understand is the reality of the world. So we practice things like avoidance. Like, hey, there's a reason why we don't want men in the women's locker room. It has nothing to do with your emotional uh status, it has to do with the mechanics. We don't want to allow these things together in the same place. It's it's a it's a it's a black or white issue in certain vulnerable spots. And they actually kind of came around a little bit to my understanding of that. And I was like, listen, you know, like at number one thing we have to protect is is kids. And, you know, these mixed spaces are very dangerous spaces. Anyways, it was a great discussion. Um, we talked about economics. I talked about how immigration plays into jobs. And the interesting thing was it's not that they disagree with the desired policy outcomes or what we would do to fix certain problems, but it was there's a lot of like emotions. Like, you know, they were pretty convinced that Donald Trump was guilty of rape. And it was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, the Eugene Carroll case. So we had to kind of talk about that. I found myself kind of experiencing this. I had I found this on uh X, and this was kind of my experience. And as we were talking, obviously we had no internet, so one of the things, you know, as soon as we landed, we fact-checked ourselves on a couple things. But this was kind of funny. So this is a uh, this is a guy. Let me see, how can I share this a little bit better? Okay, so darn it, that didn't work. All right, let me let me grab that slide again. Anyways, a guy says, you know, uh, this is America is getting unsafe, and he's like, I'm gonna move, or you know, I could never, I can't try, I'm canceling my trip to America. It looks like it's too unsafe. And someone replied, You live in Britain. And he goes, Well, what about it? She says, you know, there's a rape every 57 seconds. He goes, that's crazy. She goes, look it up. And then he looks it up and he goes, Oh my gosh, that's a lot of rapes. It was like the things that you don't know, right? So we were um talking about all these different topics, talking about fraud. It was fascinating how everything kind of uh as and they both agreed. The whole point of this is two plus two has to equal four. As soon as we can agree on that, now we can decide if we want to do the math equation to get to number four, right? If that's even the objective of whatever our policy is. And it was interesting when they kind of saw it like that. It was like, okay, you know, we have to see with clear eyes. And it was interesting because the Jewish gal that was sitting next to me, she clearly understood what it was at stake in the Middle East between Palestine and Israel and how Israel has governed itself. So while at one point she was very empathetic of immigration and all these things, she was also very cognizant that evil exists and people can have bad intentions and stuff like that. So to for her, I could see some cognitive dissonance. I found it fascinating that she was so excited about Mandami. They called him their great new hope and stuff like that. It's really interesting, interesting. But they also admitted that, you know, on any given day in in uh in New York, as they travel around via subway, they might see three or four or five people defecating openly. And it was like, but at the same time, you're so excited. Like it's interesting to me how the Mandami policies are doubling down on de Blasio policies and things like that. And there's this assumption that it's going to fix things. And it's like, well, it's not what fixed things. The last time New York was really a great safe city overall was under Giuliani, and he was absolutely cracking down on turnstile jumpers and public defecation and stuff like that. So, but again, Zoomerwaffins, they weren't around for that. They didn't see that. To them, that's just the chaos normality of a big city. And for older generation boomers, that to them, that's like uh a deterioration of the city. So the different world perspectives was really interesting. The other thing that happened in my discussion with them was we started talking about, obviously, is we talk about immigration, and that gets onto this topic of everything that's going on in Minnesota. And so another thing we discussed over and over again was where do you get your news? And I was like, well, I try to go to primary sources. So one of the things that's been going on is obviously we've covered this pretty extensively, day after day, is all this exposed Minnesota fraud. Their particular little niche of media and stuff that they consume is very headline oriented. And they don't, you know, I don't know that they have a lot of great firsthand news sources. So, for example, when we landed and we fact-checked some stuff, uh, uh for example, the five-year-old that ICE detained would really they pulled over the father, the father was an illegal, he took off running, so they split up. One officer stayed with the five-year-old. So that's the story, that's the official story from DHS and everybody. Well, ABC News ran an article saying that that statement was an abject lie. And I'm like, okay, so now we're in a position here where ABC says it's false, DHS says it's true. What are the stakes for ABC and DHS? ABC has no stakes. If ABC misreports, they just do that free speech cop out, right? Which is fine. But then if DHS misreports, eventually there's going to be hearings and potentially impeachment. I'm like, if this is false, then Christy Noam or whoever put out the statement has to be fired. So there's consequences, right? Now, obviously, if there's no enforcement of the consequences, that's where you get into like designated liars and people who do spin tall tales, politicians specifically. But, anyways, I showed him this clip of Meme Oz, and Meme Oz is a cabinet secretary. I made this point, he's Senate confirmed. So if he's misrepresenting grotesquely here, he could potentially be impeached. And I said, if this is a lie, he must be impeached. So I played them this clip, and they really didn't believe it was true, like actually didn't believe. They questioned it. Well, how do we know that's true? And when when Meme Oz here talks about fraud, right? I am looking at this going, as someone who's followed the story, you've got these reporters who have gone out and have knocked on these doors, put it publicly. Obviously, the online paperwork, all the reporting on the Secretary of State and these different uh social welfare web pages have all shown, you know, that these people are receiving payments. Well, now Meme Oz comes out and he wants to do a site visit to confirm that. Because one of the things that the news is saying is, oh, like in this case, the state of California made a day, a site visit annually and confirmed that these are good businesses or whatever. Well, okay, so that checks the box. But even if they did make a site visit, when Meme Oz, the guy who cuts the check with federal funds, goes out and shows up, okay. Well, if the other guy checked on it, they did it incorrectly, right? So they couldn't really believe this because they're like, well, he's not showing documentation. I'm like, at this point in the story, the documentation's all there and it's been shown, and the documentation's all accurate. That's why they hit nobody's been flagged for fraud. It's when you actually go out and make a real world knock on the door as a real person who's not just trying to check a box or you know, do his job for compliance or has been told by some director, you know, hey, yeah, I know there's not people in these buildings, but we just kind of look that over as long as the paperwork's good. So Memma Oz goes out there, does this. They questioned the truthfulness of this. Shocking to me.

Paperwork Versus Reality In Medicaid

SPEAKER_09 15:28

So you can see these are medical buildings. They've got Cyrillic writing, Russian Armenian writing. Both sides, there's lots of action, it seems. I don't know how many patients are getting care, but uh in this four-block area in Los Angeles, there are 42 hospices. So either there are a lot of people dying here, or you've got a fraudulent activity that is so good that everyone wants to get in on it. I'm in Ben Nice in Los Angeles, and this boarded up area above my head here is Okay, so just so people have context, because I had to point this out to them.

SPEAKER_07 16:05

I said, this is hospice care. So this isn't like a daycare where kids may or may not be there. So that's like the plausible deniability. When you show up a day at a daycare and no one's there, it's like, well, all the kids are at school, or you know, nobody showed up today. It didn't have to be whatever, right? I get the plausible deniability. That's why you go back day after day and see if there's actually people there. So here, this is hospice care. So this is supposed to be like end-of-life care. These people should be in the building, laying in a hospital bed, you know, surrounded by loved ones and nurses and medical equipment and things like that. This is hospice. This is not, you know, an outpatient, outbound kind of situation here. So that's important to understand when they're looking at these buildings that they should have medical activity happening.

Organized Crime, Hospice Fraud, Big Numbers

SPEAKER_09 16:50

A big hospice center. There are apparently quite a few hospices around here, 42 within a four-block radius. And these guys stole$16 million. Listen carefully. The main guy went to jail for two years, stealing$16 million, which is a good trade-off for a lot of folks. And if you look at it, it's pretty indescript. There wasn't anyone really in there. They weren't doing any services. They just got an address they could claim was a hospice, and then they ran the business, claiming people were at home getting services, which they really weren't. Well we have learned is there's roughly three and a half billion dollars of fraud taking place here in Los Angeles in hospice and home care. It's run quite a bit of it by the Russian-Armenian Mafia. You notice the lettering and and language behind me is uh of that dialect. And it also highlights the fact that this is an organized crime, you know, mafia deal, where you've got folks who are systematically recruited doctors to write false prescriptions, uh, you know, hundreds of doctors participating. They've got 100,000 patients who they've tricked or paid to give them their beneficiary numbers so they can perpetuate the fraud, and then the criminals are just running the whole organization and quickly scurrying away when law enforcement does get around to prosecuting them. Unfortunately, in California, there has not been a lot of attention on these problems. That's gonna change. The U.S. attorney, the FBI, everyone's now focused on the fact that in this state, which has about$30 billion worth of home and community-based services, most of it might be fraudulent. Those are big numbers, and we're taking it seriously. The president's not gonna tolerate this anymore.

Calling Fraud What It Is

Shell Offices, Maine Billing, Empty Doors

SPEAKER_07 18:26

Yeah, I think that's great. The president's not gonna tolerate it anymore because we, the people, aren't gonna tolerate it anymore. It's too much. And one of the things that came up with these Zoomer Waffins, and I invited them to listen to the podcast. I hope they make their way here. It would be really awesome to have them join the peasants because that was the thing I emphasized with them is that we're all peasants. We have to live here, right? No matter what. I mean, even the immigrants have to live here. They're peasants, they're fodder in all of this. The, you know, some of the suffering they go through to get here is pretty extreme. Before we move on talking more about this, I want to take a moment to share with you about 1775 coffee. If you still haven't tried 1775 coffee, now's your shot. The starter kit just dropped. Only a thousand units. You're getting the bold dark roast that hits hard, the smooth, medium roast, and the vitality mushroom coffee for clean energy and laser focus. No crash, a single origin, small batch, toxin-free and mold-free. Plus, you're getting a golden spoon clip because freedom isn't scooped with plastic. A frother strong enough to stir up your coffee and your mother-in-law's opinions, or some zoomer waffins on the airplane. And a black 1775 tumbler,$170 worth of coffee and gear, yours for$99. This is for the ones who've been watching 1775 blow up on Rumble, wondering if it's actually worth it. Spoiler alert, it is. Go to 1775coffee.com slash studio and grab your starter kit before they're gone. Bold beans, clean fuel, and a morning routine that stands for something just like Rumble does. Okay, so with that, let's go to the chats before we move on. So uh Shantini, good morning. Morning, Carlitz. Good uh good morning, everyone. Douglas Wyatt, good morning, all. Carlitz, just realized you were back in your home studio. Glad you made it back safe. We're on the mainland again. Carlitz is one of our international sometimes listeners, in and out of the country all the time. Glad you're back too, Carlitz. Pony boy, two years for 16 million. I'm doing this whole American dream wrong. I gotta tell you something. One of the reasons why drug charges come with such high sentences is because people can do the math. If you're a serious drug dealer and you're pulling in millions of dollars, you know, by the time you get caught, you might have got five, six, seven, eight years under your belt making tons of money, driving Land Rovers, big nice house, cash everywhere, right? And then you get busted, you get three years in the slammer. Well, you know, you divide the math, you kind of hammer it, figure it out, and you're like, oh, I still did pretty well, even though I get spent three years without any income. Wesley Snipes, who was put in prison on three misdemeanor tax charges that were run consecutive, so he spent three years in prison, he had to pay a$5 million penalty to the IRS for having evaded$27 million in taxes. So, you know, take the delta of that money, divide by three, and he still did pretty well, even though for those three years in prison wasn't worth it. But some people kind of think in those terms. So that's, you know, one of the reasons why we have sometimes really high sentences for certain crimes is because otherwise you can't create a deterrent because they're so profitable otherwise. And that's also what happens with these fraud charges. You know, someone steals a couple million bucks, and you do see onesie know someone steals 16 million bucks to get three years in prison or something. But sometimes, you know, a couple million dollars can result in like 10, 20 year sentences, and it has to do with trying to create deterrence, especially when there's profit on the line. Okay, on the Sean Ryan show, one of these investigative journalists was on there. And this is one of the things that I wish, you know, I wish that I could have had these Zoom waffins listen to the podcast regularly, because my attempt is always to go to some type of primary source, and when it's punditry and stuff like that, we talk about it, right? Because remember, it's not just the facts, it's the narrative. So what people say about events matters. What people say about Donald Trump, for example, being guilty of sexual assault matters. It's not the facts, that's not the truth, that's not how it really broke down in court, but that was the intended effect. And I explained that to them. I said, the intended effect of that lawsuit was exactly what you guys just did. You both assumed the president of the United States was guilty of rape. And I said, that was it. That was the whole intended effect of how they did that. Is here we are, years later, and that came out of your mouth as if it was a statement of fact, right? So we always want to check ourselves. Well, this is one of those investigative journalists who actually went out and knocked on the doors, followed up the money, followed the paperwork, which led to all these other investigations. It wasn't just Nick Shirley. The thing about Nick Shirley is he didn't do the investigation, he did the journalism. The investigations were done by citizens who were just literally concerned, what's happening with our tax dollars? But these are the kind of numbers, and this is the kind of activity that they're doing. And this is what Mehmet Oz was following up on. Again, if we can all agree two plus two is four, is fraud wrong? Is fraud wrong? Does it matter if it's Armenians? The reason I played that Mehmet Oz clip is we're talking about Somali fraud, but there's also Armenian fraud and all these other immigrant groups. They're running like a mafia. Listen, the natural state of things is the family, right? And then there's the tribe. And what is a nation state? It's just a really big extended tribe, right? With diverse tribes that have unified under treaty. That's literally like what the actual breakdown of power and influence and all that ultimately boils down to. So for us, in a system where we're all working together, fraud is fraud. If it's happening by one of the little subculture tribes within the United States, the overarching compass, the overarching idea should be fraud is bad. Doesn't matter who's committing it. So we can call it Somali fraud because it's predominant in the Somali community, or we can call it Armenian fraud or whatever it is. It's okay to call it that. The Italian mafia. What are you saying? All Italians are in the mafia? No, I'm saying Italians have a mafia. Okay. Okay. It's like that's what the point is. So as he goes through here, right? It doesn't matter the immigrant group, fraud is fraud. Listen to these numbers. 39 companies in one building.

Naming Patterns And Who Benefits

SPEAKER_08 24:09

Yeah. Uh, and they're all, we actually have a video of it that we'll release in conjunction with uh this episode. We went in, we knocked on all the doors in nobody's home. They're they're one room office suites, they all have matching signs on the door. They're checking the box of having an office so that they can unlock the Medicaid money, but no one's there. And if somebody from the government just knocked on the door, they'd figure out pretty quickly or just like walk, did what we did, just walk around the building. We visited twice in December and then in January to see what was going on. And it's clear what's happening. They just like someone figured out here's this empty office building, go get a suite, you check the box, you unlock the Medicaid money, you look like a legitimate business. But you've got AD home health care, uh Bright Star Home Care, Bright Star LLC, Bright Star Residential, Bright Stars USA, Bishop Star Residential, Coaster Coastal Care LLC, Fable Home Care, Greater Portland Home Care, that one is billed$2 million. Um, Maine Home Care, Noble Transportation, which is a Medicaid transportation company, Prestige Home Care, that one's billed uh$2.5 million. Knock on the door, nobody's there. Um, Southern Maine home care. Uh that one is uh uh$4.3 million.

Virtue, Blind Spots, And Swindlers

Political Fraud: Buildings And Leases

Duplication At IRS Scale And Deterrence

Ilhan Omar Winery Claims Go Dark

SPEAKER_07 25:20

Wow. I mean, and it's number after number. He's going in Maine, it's happening in every state in the union, there's no doubt about it. So it's not necessarily that, you know, all Somalis commit fraud, but it's like, well, a lot of Somalis are committing fraud. It's that simple. They, you know, it was interesting. I kind of let myself go because not like in a I let myself go to talk to them, and I was like, can we talk clearly and openly? Like, can I say, you know, what would in a normal political correct environment be racial slurs? And they were like, okay with that, which is kind of funny. Again, zoomerwaffins. Um, but uh I was like, listen, you know, when we're talking about this stuff, we have to be able to call the spade the spade. We have to be able to look at things and say, you know, illegal immigrants that are undocumented, you have to understand the path of how they got there. So so I explained to them how this can kind of work. I said, imagine some small town in Illinois, Centralia. One of my cellmates was from Centrella, and he complained about how the town was bombed out, there were no jobs or anything like that. Right. And what few jobs there were were taken by immigrants. And one of the things he commented one time was, because they don't do drugs, and that's why they can have a job at McDonald's or whatever. Okay, so that's really weird. But I said, think about this for a second. You know, someone wants to cross the southern border. We pretty much assume and know and understand that they have to pay the cartel to do that, right? So the cart they pay the cartel to do that. So the cartel makes money, and then on top of that, usually there's an exchange. A lot of times, these people that are crossing the border have to bring something with them, right? They're part of the smuggling operation. Wear this backpack, cross the border, drop it there. Okay, go meet up with Border Patrol, claim asylum. So that person crosses the border, bringing drugs with them, but they're in search of the American dream. They get put through the system, right? And as they're getting put through the system, those drugs make their way through the distribution networks all the way into Centralia, Illinois. And then some young man is getting ready the next day to go to his first job interview, and he goes out to some friends' house to party, and his friends, through peer pressure, encourage him to smoke meth for the first time. Meth that came out of that backpack that that illegal immigrant crossing the border in search of the American dream brought across as an exchange to the cartel in order to cross the border. That illegal immigrant working through the system as that meth made its way to Illinois, where our young man going for his first job interview the next day gets pressured by his peers who have the availability of meth in their community in quantity, right, coming across the border, pressure him into taking. The next day he's spun out, he's high, he doesn't show up for his job interview. But that immigrant who brought the drugs across the border, wittingly, unwittingly, unknowingly, unintentionally, doesn't matter, makes his way through the system and gets dropped off by a bus from some organization that is distributing migrants across the country. He gets dropped off and he walks by that restaurant where that young man was going to go to that job interview and he sees that help wanted sign in the door and he walks in and he applies for the job and he gets it. That's what's happening when he legals cross the border in search of the American dream. And they're participating in that process coming across the American the border with the cartels who are poisoning our children, who then don't get those jobs because of the drugs that come into our communities that they wouldn't have if the opportunity wasn't even there. Right? That's one of the things as an adult with parents, is one of the things you have to do with parenting is you have to stop the opportunity for evil and the opportunity for bad things to happen. As little children, we don't leave them in a room full of sharp knives laying around the floor, right? Even though we've taught them not to use the knives, it's not a good idea, right? Don't leave little kids around matches and kindling, right, when they don't understand the power of fire, right? It's not that all those things, you know, that we don't want immigration to come in and take the jobs that Americans aren't filling, but we don't want to have immigrants coming in and taking the jobs that aren't being filled because Americans are strung out on drugs, that those very immigrants brought across. And even if it isn't the same immigrant themselves, you understand how this is happening at scale. And that's essentially what has happened in so many of our American neighborhoods. And when those people get here, a lot of times they get supported by these networks of these Mafis, the Armenians, the Turkish. We know that coming across the southern border under the Biden regime, there were 170 different nationalities that made their way through the different travel networks to Mexico and up through the border. And a lot of those people came because why? Because there's cartel and gang relationships that are established here in the United States that are in Armenia that are funneling people here. Why? Because they can make money, because they can, because that's human nature, right? Another discussion we had about these people was this idea of weaponizing your virtue, right? The idea that, hey, we we're all supposed to have integrity, so we project that integrity onto everybody else. And that's what allows us to have these blind spots for swindlers. And it applies to everyone. It's not just the Armenians, it's not just the Somalians, it's not just these other groups, it could be our Congress people themselves. Tim Burkhart was on with Benny Johnson, and this was a really interesting interview because Tim Burkhart, right, is one of these like down-to-earth, really sincere politicians that seems to kind of have his stuff together. And he was on the committee with Marjorie Taylor Green. She had she was on the Doge committee. She was the chair of the Doge committee. And they had an interview with this guy who's in charge of basically making all the payments for federal government buildings. And Tim Burkhart asked a question about are we making payments or for leases on buildings for the federal government for buildings that are owned by members of Congress? Now, I'll point out here because we'll listen to him say it. He mentions that Marjorie Taylor Green was the committee chairman and that nothing happened to follow up with that question in her committee. Nothing happened. So remember, Marjorie Taylor Green, Marjorie Taylor Green, right, for all the good she's done. And I almost, she's kind of a non-factor now, but this is the kind of stuff that would make Donald Trump and others kind of turn on her and go, maybe you drank a little bit of the swamp Kool-Aid. So let's listen to Tim Burkhart here discuss this with Benny Johnson. And again, it's not just these individual immigrant groups, it's fraud in general. Oops, I unshared the screen. We want to go after all fraud in all of its forms. Now, we can call this political fraud, just like we would say Somali fraud or Armenian fraud. So let's go. Here's some political fraud.

SPEAKER_05 31:47

Marjorie Taylor Green has in there in a building that was basically empty. That was the people that were supposed to be overseeing our real estate. And I asked the questioner, members of Congress owning real estate, and the guys that that are being rented to the to the federal government in Washington, D.C. And the guy said, Yeah, they are. And and it stopped right there. Nothing. Nothing. And that should have been the beginning of it. And that's where I'm going to be a little different. I'm going to be on the front end of it. It's not going to be sexy and hopefully the screaming, the screaming will be back and forth because that's just the nature of politics. But we're going to eliminate that. And we're going to eliminate the corruption that has infiltrated our committee system.

SPEAKER_10 32:29

You are, as Doge's chairman, going to pick up the ball and continue the work when it comes to what seems like a massive scandal, which are big federal buildings owned by members of Congress that are leased out to the federal government. I mean, private buildings owned by members of Congress, leased back to the federal government. And so that's like that's like the snake eating its tail, right?

Staged Optics Allegation And Spray Incident

SPEAKER_05 32:52

That is the tip of the iceberg. That just shows you my frustration with this thing. I mean, anywhere you look, it's just, it's, you know, we've we've got to not be the shotgun approach because that's where we'll be neutralized. We've got to focus in on just a few things. The first thing, I think we'll have something around IRS time. What's the big complaint with the IRS outside of the fact they're stealing your money is that you can't ever get to them. Their technology is not intermingled. I found out that through government duplication, I've got a chart at just the craziest looking thing. And it and it shows, and my staff has uncovered basically over a trillion dollars of just simple duplication within these departments that nobody is willing to tackle. It's not sexy, but we're gonna tackle it and we're gonna show you, show it to the American public, and hopefully they'll back us when we go to change the structure of government. And he that is the tip of the iceberg. That just shows you my frustration with this thing. I mean, it's anywhere you look, it's just it's you know, we we've got to not be the shotgun approach because that's where we'll be neutralized. We got to focus in on just a few things. The first thing, I think we'll have something around IRS time.

Narrative Whiplash: From Fraud To Martyr

Minnesota Detente: Jails Over Street Patrols

SPEAKER_07 34:07

All right, it looks like it repeats itself there. So what he's saying is the IRS, their whole database is not intermingled with the rest of the government's database. So someone at DHS can't look up your tax return, right? They have to actually like subpoena and do that whole process. So that's not a bad thing. That's a good thing, right? We want the IRS to be walled off. It has all of our sensitive financial data and stuff like that. And yes, they have all of your transactions, like even if you have, you know, bank accounts that aren't they're not supposed to be looking at, like non-interest bearing accounts, they're looking. So that makes sense. But what he's also saying is that there's duplication in the system, double payments being made, which is just another element of fraud, right? So he they're gonna dig down into that. I love, I love hearing that. Tim Burkhart seems to be a real down-to-earth, get-to-business kind of guy. He's constantly talking about, you know, all the different uh nonsense that happens with, you know, everything. Okay. Now I want to move on topics here, because one of the things that I wish so deeply that I could have shown these things to these Zumerwaffins. I did show them the clip that I shared with you guys yesterday when I was broadcasting from Connecticut, which was Benny Johnson, where he talked about Ilan Omar and her current husband's winery that was worth, you know,$15,000 and then a million dollars, and now it's worth like$15 million. And they've only ever produced one line of wine or even maybe one bottle of wine called The Devil's Lie, right? So I showed him that and I showed, look, he's got the documentation, he's on the websites, he's showing all the filings. So yesterday, something really incredible happened. Take a listen to this. So this is Cam Higby, and he's reporting on this report from uh report from Benny Johnson. So Benny Johnson had this report, Mario Narfa Knophal, who is you know 2.8 million followers. He's really a uh he's got the largest show on X. He's a good source, you know, he's you know, podcaster, pundit like us, but you know, he gets good sourcing and things like that. I like what he's got to say. And so he shows this video of Benny Johnson, which was rewatched yesterday, okay, with the financial disclosures and everything. Well, Cam Higbee on Newsmax, right, followed up with it yesterday. Something pretty incredible happened. Now, I understand how this works. I saw in my own case with January 6th, the Department of Justice put tweets up on the screen for the jury to look at that had a vanity name that I didn't recognize that they got up off the Wayback Machine. How they created that, what it said, totally unverifiable to me. Had I seen that and known that they were going to use that earlier, and if I was actually arguing my case, I would have said, ah, I don't think that's really my account. You can't actually connect that to me. So they just kind of did it, knowing that I couldn't challenge it. And they were some of the most damning quote unquote tweets about my planning to go storm the Capitol. And it was like, but why is that? None of my vanity names ever have ever had an underscore in it. That vanity name was Peasant Pod underscore. I've never had that. My vanity name was Peasant Pod, which they showed other tweets where they got those and they got them through subpoena from X. But then that account they got just off the way back machine from a Google search. Go figure. So the internet is very manipulatable. And we've seen things happen, like the disappearance of Eric Charamella's name. We've seen the power that they have to basically make things on the internet disappear when it's coming from the government side. It's difficult for me to do. The government seems to be able to pull it off. So this is what Cam Higby is explaining. The follow-up to this what about Ilon Omar's winery? How's that going?

SPEAKER_13 37:35

Another major asset she listed in her financial disclosure is this winery. What does a Somali know about winerism? Okay, that was in 2023. That was worth, according to Ilan Omar's own financial disclosure form, between$15,000 and$50,000. But on her financial affidavit from a year later, that same winery was listed at a value of between one and five million dollars. Just, I mean, just real quick. Why does a Muslim own an alcohol company? I thought that wasn't a thing in Islam. Anyway, it gets weirder. Up until yesterday, Benny Johnson was able to find their supposed inventory bottles and all the things they had, their office location, and a bunch of other information on the business. But as of today, those sites are totally shut down. And any mention of their website has been wiped off the internet. I'm talking gone. The Wayback Machine, all these other crafty little archive sites, everything is gone. Like deleted the root service. I called my computer buddy Jim. He couldn't even find it. It was some fancy AR jargon bot machine for recovery. I don't know if he was explaining it to me. He couldn't even find it. Which is weird that a company that boasted an award-winning wine, the quote, double gold winner in 2022, San Fran Chronicle Competition with a corporate value of up to$5 million would just vanish into thin air? They didn't sell it. Is it possible for this to be a functioning business and have absolutely no footprint wiped from the internet, go from 1,000 net worth to 5 million in less than a year?

Glenn Beck’s Optics Lens On ICE Strategy

SPEAKER_12 39:13

Well, no other winery on earth's done that, Carl. Anybody knows anything about this, knows that the wine industry is under enormous pressure. Um, wineries, there's people pulling up vineyards and closing wineries, including some very well-known ones. Um, people are drinking less wine. Uh, the economy is weighed on that in favor of you know cheaper alcohol options. So the wine industry has been in been mad contraction for quite some time now. But more to the point, you have to have a federal license to have an alcohol facility. Where is her where's her winery on the TTB website? That's the federal regulation, so regulatory body that does this. So, no, this doesn't exist. And it's a it's a phantasm that the idea you're gonna have a winery increase in value. Everybody else in the wine business knows better.

SPEAKER_11 39:58

Yeah. He loves the Constitution.

SPEAKER_07 40:03

So, how in the world did all of that stuff disappear? Now, you guys, this story gets even more interesting. This all happened in a period of 48 hours.

But all of that starts with participation. So please, please, please comment, share, chat, post your opinions, and we'll get to them as best as we can. Okay, so Ilan Omar's entire uh her entire winery just disappeared from all online records. Everything. The the government paper stuff, the website, all of it disappeared yesterday. At the same time, this was going on. Ilon Omar was giving a speech and she was sprayed with an unknown substance. So let's watch the video. Okay, here it is. So she's giving her speech.

SPEAKER_03 42:53

Oh my god, he's crazy.

SPEAKER_07 43:01

Notice the live chats. Who cares? Fake liquor chat return. Who cares? Okay, so she some man walked up to her, sprayed her with some unknown liquid in a bottle, right? And then she she goes and charge Adam that you guys saw there. So that happened right as she called for Christine Own's resignation. That man stood up, sprayed her, and that man is in a lot of trouble. He was arrested instantly. He's gonna get prosecuted with like tear three charges or something like that. I mean, it's a big deal. Like what he did was you cannot do that. You cannot do that, folks. You cannot walk up to a politician and spray them with something. How do you know it was an acid? How do you know it wasn't something, you know, very, very bad and nefarious? So on the same day that all that stuff about her winery and what potentially could be this big, fat, open door to the biggest shell corporation winery ever that's been, you know, that's probably where she accepts her bribe donations. I mean, the allegations and the potentialities with that are massive. Off the internet. Then she goes to give a speech and she gets sprayed down with this bottle of water, water, you know, whatever it was. I can't say water. Now, here's the real tell to this. She stood there, she took it, right? And then afterwards, she continued her speech. How do you know it wasn't acid? How do you know it wasn't some toxic chemical or something like that? She continued her speech. Then she went out into the hallway, and I'm a victim. I can't believe this happened, but I won't be deterred. Okay, well, let's look at this. The guy who sprayed her, the guy who sprayed her, and uh, we don't even need to really show his mugshot or anything. It doesn't matter. We're gonna show a couple pictures of him in a second. The guy who sprayed her, she's already being painted out to be a right winger, white man, you know, blah, blah, blah. If you think Elon Omar's attack was legit, you might have an IQ of a smallly. This has come from George that Beasy tweets. Guy who is planning to spray her with some unknown substance, conveniently sits on the front row. Okay. Wait for the moment she attacks Ice and Christy Nome, then sprays. Ilan Omar chases him instead of ducking like a normal person, especially women, when attacked. Camera's conveniently ready to take the four came images of the perpetrator. Elon Omar then defies her security to finish her dumb and unimportant speech. She proceeds to make herself out to be a champion who survived a political attack. Yeah, totally real. So Donald Trump got asked about this, and he just goes, eh, she probably had herself attacked. He literally just blew it off like that. Turns out this is the guy. His name is Andy Kasmericzak. It's this gentleman, right? Oh, nope, I'm not sharing the screen with you guys. Let's see, we got a couple things here. It says uh he probably heard the nurses yesterday saying they could spray people with dastardly chemicals. Yeah, that's right. Okay, so so this comes from at C uh C3. It says, well, well, well. So this is the gentleman right here. This this man, not the kids, this man or this man right here. The alleged Omar sprayer, Andy Kesmerisgak, I don't know how to say the last name, seems to have some far left gender pronoun children. But yeah, totally MAGA. This stinks of being staged. There are 30 million reasons why. So here's the pictures. These are his kids. They're all gender pro, you know, gender whatever stuff going on there. Okay, so not MAGA, not what's going on there, but that's what the media wants you to believe with all this. It's interesting. All that happens, right? And the left is taking this like it's this massive attack, you know, she's getting like martyr status, what, you know, all that kind of stuff. But the the timeline of the events there and who did it and the whole scenario just kind of screams out setup. So keep in mind, as the media today is telling you that, you know, she's a victim of right-wing extreme violence or something like that, that those same people are the same people who tried to tell you that this something that said, take a look at what happened. The same people who said that that was fake are gonna tell you that what Ilan Omar just went through was real on the same day as her specific brand of fraud and corruption, the how she probably makes her money, right, is exposed by Benny Johnson and then gets deleted that same day, she goes from being fraudster to martyr and victim. Hello. Can you not see what's happening here? Right now, even if we give them the premise and we say, oh, hey, hey, hey, it's it's organic. It just happened. Yeah, it's possible. It's possible it just happened. Because even Tim Waltz is getting the ire of the left right now. Tim Waltz obviously had a little stand down with Donald Trump. It's trying to be, people are trying to portray like, uh, portray it like Tim Waltz uh, you know, got Trump to back down and changed plans. I don't think that's the case. If anything, I think Trump put Tim Waltz kind of in check, mate. And we'll hear from Glenn Beck here in a second his assessment of that. But this is Tim Waltz in his office being uh being protested at by the people who have been out protesting ICE are now protesting Tim Waltz for caving into Donald Trump. So those are the protesters that have been protesting ICE in the name of Renee Good and whatever pretty pretty good, the two of them, literally pretty and good, right? Um, pretty good. They are now turning in on Tim Waltz. And pretty interesting. Okay, so here's what Glenn Beck's thinks going on over here with this situation in Minnesota, specifically with the Somali fraud there, right? Donald Trump had a phone call with Tim Waltz and with Jacob Frey, the mayor of Minneapolis. And allegedly it was a decent phone call, and they've agreed to allow ICE into the jails to do their job, and then there won't be these street patrols, right? They've come to some kind of detente net effect, which by the way is exactly what Donald Trump wanted in the first place. The only reason they're doing street patrols is because you're not letting them in the jails where the local officers can pick them up for DUIs and things like that, take them to the jail, then they can be taken into custody without incidents. So Donald Trump has basically achieved the outcome that he wanted to have happen, and had it been happening in the first place, wouldn't have had to deploy ice into those neighborhoods. He's achieved that very outcome, which is in reality the win. Okay. So now it's the narrative. Facts, Trump won. Trump got exactly what he wanted out of that, which is why Tim Waltz is being protested, because anybody who actually understands this issue knows that if they can go to the jails, the net effect is going to be the same. They're going to deport all the troublemakers. Okay. Just that's one thing. So they know that. That's why they're targeting Tim Waltz now. But at the same time, it's a brilliant move that Trump has done because he's put them in in this like checkmate position. And that's what Glenn Beck is explaining here. So let's listen to Glenn Beck explain this for just a couple minutes of his kind of monologue on this, because it's, you know, I think it's really relevant.

Premium Shift And Economic Teasers

Bigfoot At Quantico: Credible Marines

Wrap, Raids, And How To Support

SPEAKER_11 50:19

I don't think it is. It is if you are act if you are reacting emotionally, and I want to say this I could be wrong on this, so I don't mean to belittle you or have you think that I'm smarter than you because I I can guarantee you I'm not, in almost all, but Al Gore's case, um, I'm not smarter than you. Uh I just look at things differently, and I could be wrong, but I'll give you uh uh a lens to see this through, and then a chart on how we're gonna know whether it is a red flag uh is a white flag or not, okay? And I don't think it is a white flag. If you're looking at this through the lens of traditional uh uh political or cable news, you're gonna look at this and say this is a retreat. However, if you look at it as a counterinsurgency, if you look at it through that lens of counterinsurgency, federalism, and an optics war lens, then it's different. We're seeing Trump shift the battlefield, not abandon it. And let me take you through this cleanly and tactically here. First, what would a surrender or a blink actually look like? If Trump was blinking, this is what would happen. He would end the enforcement nationwide, he would call off ICE operations, uh, he would publicly repudiate Holman or Miller, he would admit wrongdoing or illegality, and he would accept the Gestapo snatching people off the streets narrative. None of that happened. Instead, now think of him in art of the deal, he narrowed the enforcement criteria. Political pressure is rerouted, optics cooled, legal authority preserved, responsibility transferred back to the states. This is not a surrender. I believe this is a reframing of the fight, and it's really smart. If this is what it is, it's really smart. The real sub the strategic objective here that I think most people are gonna miss is what was the enforcement criteria? Was it to go scoop up every illegal on the streets? Was it was it to send everybody who came here to send them home? Is that what ICE was doing? Because it wasn't, because I remember when he said it, I'm like, what? We should be sending everybody that was here home. And he said, No, no, no. The goal here is to get the really bad criminals off the streets. That's what he wanted. So the goal was never ICE agents everywhere all the time. The goal was this force blue state leadership to choose publicly and unmistakably between protecting violent criminals or cooperating with law, federal law enforcement. Okay, that's what he's been saying the whole thing. How are you people defending this? These are rapists in your community. So what Trump has just done is he has separated into three groups one, uh the violent criminal uh illegals easily moral. Everybody's for that. Okay. Two, uh, the local state officials who shield them. There's another group, and three, the protest movements trying to provoke a legitimacy crisis. So he's now broken those three up. Minnesota was sliding towards a designed confrontation, street uh chaos, viral clips, allegations of federal overreach, the Senate demists were threatening a shutdown, the media was building an authoritarian. We were headed towards everything that there's no way out. Okay. And that environment only benefits one side, and it isn't the Trump side, it's not our side. It the only thing he could have done was escalate. And do you think that's what they didn't want? That's exactly what they wanted. So he changed the terrain. He also, and this is a this is telling to me, he also went and relieved the U.S. Border Patrol commander, uh, Gregory Bovino. So this was part of it that really bothered me, okay? Because it's the hardest part emotionally. Here's a guy who was very, very clear on things, but it is the clearest tactically. Bovino was a guy who was saying, I mean, he even said something that was absolutely wrong this weekend, you don't have a right to carry a gun at a protest. No, you don't have a right to interfere with police. Once you engage with police and you're carrying a gun, then that's a different story. But he said a lot of things. He was defending some things that I thought were a little indefensible. But uh but he was he was a lightning rod. He was a walking headline, um, he was a pretext for the Senate Democrats. I mean, he was a symbol. Whether it was fair or not, doesn't matter. Perception is reality. Ah he was rogue federal officer escalating online while operating in a blue city. That's poison if you're in an optics war, and every war must worry about optics. If you're going to win, you have to worry about optics.

SPEAKER_07 55:50

So what is what do I say? It's not the facts, it's the narratives, right? Optics matter.

SPEAKER_11 55:55

What does Trump do? He rotates that guy out. Well, now the Senate shutdown talks. That weakens. That you're not good. How are you gonna shut down? He's he's giving, right? The media narratives loses the villain. Uh the Department of Homeland Security regains message discipline, and the fight moves from personality back to policy. This is classic Trump. What does Trump say in Art of the Deal? And we've seen him do it over and over and over again. Never die on someone else's hill. If it isn't the hill you chose, don't die on a hill they're choosing, only die on the hill you choose.

SPEAKER_07 56:38

What great advice. So that is an excellent, that is an excellent breakdown of how Trump checkmaked Jacob Fry and Tim Waltz. So, yes, like exactly what what Glenn Beck is saying. If you're mainly just getting the mainstream cable news, this looks like a retreat. But objectively, strategically, we are in an insurgency. He took, changed the train, right? He chopped their legs off because now they're in a position, in order for them to look like they were trying to de-escalate and give and and give Trump the lose to get ice off the street. The bargaining chip that Trump forced them to come to the table with is putting putting uh people that are in jail illegally, the ability for ice to be able to come and pick them up. What a good, what a good move. And again, Trump, I, you know, I didn't see that coming. I I've I've been kind of like this only goes up. Again, even Gullen Beck mentioned that. The only way to go was up, up, up, up, which was my concern, right? Once you go insurrection, now you've opened this can of worms and you've become the thing they've accused you of becoming, a tyrant, right? Now they backed you into that corner. So Trump, jujitsu to him, shifted out of their way. Why could he do that? Because at the core of all of this, there is the law. Way back in 2013, Joe Biden was asked why can't the president just stop deporting people? And he said he can't do that. It'd be against the law. Oh, sometimes I forget to share the screen. I have to click like five things before I can hit play. Sometimes it gets a little tricky.

SPEAKER_00 58:07

Where does POTUS get authority to suspend deportations of illegal aliens without going through Congress?

SPEAKER_07 58:13

Okay, so that is what the left has been wanting. Look, all the way back in 2013, they've been wanting to suspend deportations. And Joe Biden gives the correct answer here.

SPEAKER_04 58:23

He does not have the authority to do that. Cecilia said, what I get all the time, and what she gets, and you probably get, is well, look, why don't you, since the system is broken, the Congress won't fix this, why don't you just suspend everything? He does not, the president does not have the authority to do that. In the first hundred days of my administration, no one, no one will be deported at all. From that point on, the only deportations that will take place are commissions of felonies in the United States of America.

SPEAKER_01 58:54

So to be clear, only felons get deported and everyone else has pay.

SPEAKER_07 58:59

Yes. Well, that is where we saw Joe Biden really violate what he knew was the law. He did not have the authority to open the border and not deport people. But he did it anyways, because power is power. But back in 2013, when the Democrats were still running a semi-same agenda and Barack Obama was talking about not wanting to have the open border because it competes with American jobs. You know, the things we all believe, they knew that they didn't have the lawful authority to just stop deportations. They did it anyways. That's why Alejandro Mayorcas got held in contempt of Congress, right? Was it contempt? No, they impeached him and then the Senate didn't take it up. They actually impeached him over just this very thing because he was an open violation of the law. Jacob Fry, who had a conversation with Donald Trump and had conceded on all these points to let uh ice into the jails and stuff like that, made some statements about how ICE isn't coming into the jails. Basically, the exact opposite of what they'd said before. Jacob Frey made some statements as to That they're not going to let ICE into the jails. Now remember, this is with the backdrop of ICE protesters in Tim Waltz's office protesting that I showed you. So Jacob Frey might have made that statement to make sure that their next stop wasn't the city hall where the mayor's office is, right? So he's crying to divert the mob, but he makes the statements acting like ICE isn't going to be picking people up out of the jail. So Donald Trump posted this. Surprisingly, Mayor Jacob Frey just stated that Minneapolis does not and will not enforce federal immigration laws. This is after having a good conversation with him. Could somebody in his inner sanctum please explain that this statement is a very serious violation of the law and that he is playing with fire. Just like what Joe Biden said there, they can't prevent this. The law says ICE is supposed to pick up criminals who have detainers. And if you're here illegally and you have a DUI, you will get deported. That's the whole point. That's the moment when it's easy to pick you up. You came here illegally. We're not hunting you down, right? We have this laissez faire belief that if everybody can just get along, we'll be fine. This is America, the land of the immigrants, blah, blah, blah. But if you're here illegally and you violate our laws, DUI, assault, battery, theft, doesn't matter. Falonious mopyri, right? If you get charged with felonious mopery and you're not supposed to be here, you're going to do your time for the crime and back home you go. Not a complicated scenario. It's the law. So Jacob Fry saying they're not going to do that. That's the genesis of all the cops in the street. The only reason your communities are being encroached upon is because you're not letting one or two ICE officers go pick up someone in a controlled environment that has already been captured. Instead, they're having to bring troops of people to go chase down one guy. And yes, the optics look bad, but they're following the law. But it doesn't matter. When your objective is to break the law, when your objective is to crash the system, the idea is not to follow the law. It's the idea to create something new, to create a new norm. There's a definition in the dictionary of custom. Custom becomes the law. The way we do things matter. It actually has the ability to be enforced even without the parchment, right? Custom is the law. Hidden to the chats. Pony Boy says, Ilan Smolette. I saw that a little while ago, Pony, and I wanted to fit that in. That is freaking hilarious. I'm going to start calling her that. Ilan Smol Smolette. That is so funny. And Marizo, he probably Oh, I already read that one. He already heard about that nurses. Okay, and before we go any farther, I want to take one more quick moment and share with you guys about my gold guy. As you know, I'm a huge precious metals fan. I was talking yesterday about copper.

Um, you know, and as we said yesterday, gold is for the kings, silver for the gentlemen, and copper for the peasants. Right? I'm gonna look into copper and see what we can do there. I think it's going to be a fun ride. Um, I'm looking forward to a lot of the future things that are happening. I think that it uh, you know, we're rewriting history right now. So, and that was one of the things that my Zumerwaffen friends agreed with. When we made the statement the world order is being redone, there was no disputing. None. And when I mentioned my concept of the buses will be free, whether it's because conservatives are sick and tired for paying for other people to get services while they pay, or whether it's in their scenario where they just collectivize everything and everything's free, they were actually talking about like the free grocery stores that were going to be in New York. I thought that was interesting. I was like, well, I don't know that the farmers are gonna grow food for free, but you know, good luck with that. But, anyways, they agreed the buses will be free. There's certain things that just are not gonna be tolerated in this new world order, whether you like it or not. Now, the question is, are we gonna have a one world order, or are we gonna have a multipolar world order? Okay, so Donald Trump also today is warning Iran. Now, apparently it's been pretty well sourced and confirmed that Iran killed somewhere around 35 to 38,000 protesters in about a 48-hour period, which is specifically what Donald Trump warned them against doing. So this morning, Donald Trump put this out. He said, A massive armada is heading to Iran. We've known this has been happening for a while. It is moving quickly with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose. It is a larger fleet headed by the great aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, then that's uh, let me reread that, headed by the great aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, then that sent to Venezuela. Like with Venezuela, it is ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission with speed and violence if necessary. Hopefully, Iran will quickly, quote, come to the table and negotiate a fair and equitable deal. No nuclear weapons, one that is good for all parties. Time is running out. It is truly of the essence. As I told Iran once before, make a deal. They didn't. And there was Operation Midnight Hammer, a major destruction of Iran. The next attack will be far worse. Don't make that happen again. Thank you for your attention to this manner, President Donald J. Trump. Perilous times, folks. Perilous times. Obviously, we've been supporters of what happened in Venezuela, and there's a real possibility that this is kind of unavoidable with Iran. They are hand in glove, they've worked together, and uh, you know, it's a rogue regime. They have very little real allies around the world. And they killed 38,000 of their own people. This is an unacceptable activity for any legitimate, you know, state. And uh I would never, I would never justify foreign intervention or foreign occupation on the on the guise of um you know keeping the peace and their internal politics. I believe I believe in sovereign states, and I don't believe that we should spend our blood and treasure running around the world looking for every monster to slay. But Iran, Venezuela, North Korea on occasion, these can be real true existential threats to the American way of life. And I have a right to defend myself, and our country has a right to defend itself. This is one of the things that our my Jewish Zumerwaffen friend yesterday was very clear about. Israel has a right to defend itself. I have a right to defend my culture. And that was one of the things I made the point to them. I said, if if immigrants don't assimilate, I have a right to defend my culture, right? I have a right to ask for them to assimilate. And they eventually kind of conceded the point. I mean, it's not always like you agree wholeheartedly, it's you agree to see from the other person's perspective, right? Yes, if I had your variables, I would see that that's reasonable, that's rational. There's a logic to your thinking. We can disagree. That's great. We can agree to disagree, right? But that was conceded. We have a right to self-defense, both personally and as a nation. And so we can, we can. This is what we can openly say when there's these immigrant populations that don't assimilate, when they come over in the form of a mob, a gang, a tribe, and they and they then infiltrate our systems and grift money and two-tiered systems of justice and all the things that come along with that. We have a right to be a little bit sensitive about it. Iran's a part of all of this. Iran has been facilitating money coming across the border. Iran is an existential threat to our nation. Iran has sent his squads around. Iran does hacking. They do all the nefarious things. And they're not shy about it in any way, shape, or form. They literally chant death to America. Like it's a real thing that's happening over there. So I don't know. You know, is this a regime change? One thing that I am confident about at this point with Donald Trump, but this would not be a protracted thing. If we act in Venezuela or in Iran, it'll likely be similar to how they did it in Venezuela. Now, this is a powerful tool. This ability to go in and extract sovereign leaders from other countries. It's a powerful tool. Cuidado, it's a word in Portuguese. It basically means be careful, but it has a little bit more sentiment in its like, you know, be careful of everything. Cuidado. Like this is a perilous times. So uh hopefully they come to the table and they negotiate. I do think that that's what Trump wants. And he's putting the word out there, but man, tricky, tricky, tricky stuff. Okay, let's check the time here. Okay, it is about time for me to roll over into the private. I do have quite a bit of stuff I want to cover in the private, and I need to do it in the private because I gotta rack up some of the private hours. Thank you very much, um, Rumble, for giving me goals to meet. Let me give you a preview of what I'm gonna be talking about in the private side of things. We're gonna be talking about uh Stephen Miller. He's been attacked in public. We're gonna be hearing a little bit about Lindsey Graham and one of his predictions about Stephen Miller. Um, we're gonna be hearing from Secretary Scott Bessant about some of the real hard financial data and things that are happening that he believes is setting 2026 up not only to be a record economic year, but a really good year leading into the midterms. And then we're gonna be hearing from um another financial analysis on CNN that has to concede the same point that all signs in the economy look good. You know, one of the things that was really disheartening for me was last this last week, as I drove across the upper Midwest, I was seeing gas prices in the low$2. I think I the lowest I paid was like$237. That's pretty cheap. I mean, it's been a while since I've seen$2 gas. And then when I got home last night, I was driving home. It was like still$389 here where I'm at. So go figure. Washington State's just taking more and more of our money. So we'll be talking a little bit about uh some of the financial data. We are also going to be talking about something that is absolutely incredible. Actually, I might even talk about this before we actually sign off. Bigfoot on a military base. Yep, you see you heard it right here, folks. We're also going to be uh talking about elections, and one of the problems with all of this fraud centers around elections, right? We know that. That's that's like a conceded point here on the peasant's perspective. But we kind of have to remind ourselves about it over and over again. We're gonna be talking about again some more of the financial data and impacts and how it is helping us. And then we are gonna do a really great first ever 12-hour news recap. So Mario Knopfall did a great 12-hour news recap. We're gonna go over that because from all the traveling I've done and the limited show time I've had, I thought this was a good way to kind of you know wrap up what's happened this week. So we'll be doing that over on private. If you're a Rumble premium subscriber, you can join us there, please do. So, with that, let me share with you guys just because it's such an interesting little story here. But Matt Moneymaker of the BFRO, the Bigfoot Research Organization, who had the show on Discovery Channel about finding Bigfoot. It's called Finding Bigfoot. He interviewed some Marines. Now, this event happened 20 years ago, but there were multiple witnesses. Marines in a restricted military training area on Quantigo Marine Base report seeing a Bigfoot. So there were multiple Marines. They were out on a on a uh, you know, a patrol. This was all a mock simulated patrol, and I guess they had some issues with their compasses. They ended up kind of going in a big circle, but eventually they ended up seeing uh they ended up seeing the Bigfoot. Let me read the length here. So Bat Moneymaker says he's credible. So it says here the creature appeared to be pulling two trees together. The hair was brown and reddish brown color. I could not determine determine whether it had climbed the tree or was already in it, but it was clearly manipulating both trees with great strength. These are not small trees. The creature's more than eight feet tall with a large body and movements that didn't resemble that of a person. The the three, after initially freezing, took off running. As we ran, we heard the very heavy thud and then fast-moving pursuit behind us. There was a loud crashing and breaking sounds, like something large moving rapidly through the dense brush. This continued for approximately 20 to 30 seconds, he said. At that point, I yelled to the Marine in the front to turn on his light so we could move as fast as possible without falling. We turned on our lights and ran at full speed in the general direction of where we believe the road and pickup point were no longer using our compasses. I remember growing up hearing my dad tell stories of basic training and doing, you know, training out in the in the woods, you know, and stuff like that. I could just see them out there. Why is our compass taking us in circles? And then all of a sudden there's Bigfoot. Oh my goodness. Anyways, it's an old event, but it was these credible Marines that have stuck with this story for a long time and they shared it with Matt Moneymaker. So that is pretty hilarious. Love it so much. Okay, I've got one more agenda item I need to get taken care of before I sign off into the subscription only private side. I need to send you guys off to some friends. Yes, for those of you that won't be joining us on that side, I'm gonna send you guys over. Let's see. It looks like who are we going to raid? Oh, let's go to vlog. I don't, I can never say this guy's name. I feel so bad. We've got a friend over here that has a very looks like his show just started. So we are gonna go over and we are gonna raid. What's going on here? Why can't I? This is a live show, folks. Sometimes I gotta I gotta show you how the sausage is made. That means pausing for just a moment so I can get this thing all set up for you guys. Okay, for those of you in the chat, especially the regulars, you know the drill. It is raid time. So let's see if I can get this right. Did it work? No, okay. I want to do all. Let's see. There's like a whole way to do this that Ron knows that I don't know. I have to do like pop-out chat or something. If it doesn't work in the next couple seconds, guys, I'll give you a I'll give you a pass and we'll maybe I don't know how to do this correctly. It's always a possibility. All right, it ain't working. We'll do it tomorrow. We got one more raid we need to do for the month. And uh, so, anyways, there you go. All right, guys, that's it for me. I am going to be going into the private mode for the premium listeners only, and we're gonna be covering quite a bit of ground.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:06

Bye.
