Peasants Perspective
Peasants Perspective: A Voice from the Edge of Freedom
Join Taylor Johnatakis, a self-proclaimed “peasant” turned podcaster, on an unfiltered journey through family, faith, and the fight for American ideals.

Expect a mix of gritty storytelling, reflections on liberty lost and reclaimed, and timeless lessons drawn from his life as a septic designer, father, and reluctant rebel. Whether he’s reading Dr. Seuss to his kids or dissecting the state of the republic, Peasants Perspective is a bold, unpolished call to stay grounded amidst chaos. Subscribe for a front-row seat to a story that’s as real as it gets—no filter, no apologies.
Peasants Perspective
Why Narratives Win When Facts Are Ignored
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the system isn’t broken in one dramatic place, but in a thousand tiny seams where trust leaks out? We open with the feeling so many share—being treated like peasants while decisions get made in a distant castle—and then get specific about how legitimacy is won or lost. From mail-in ballots and signature verification to who actually holds the ballots and who gets to observe, we lay out why process clarity is the only antidote to conspiracy and why “facts versus narratives” is the wrong fight if the public never sees the receipts.
We push into the uncomfortable middle on 2020 court cases, standing versus evidence, and the limits of what can be changed once consent sets in. Then we tackle the idea of nationalizing elections. Streamlined rules sound clean, but centralization can be a single point of capture. We weigh the trade-offs and land on practical safeguards: auditable paper ballots, transparent chain of custody, meaningful signature checks, open observation, and civic engagement at the county level. If you want cleaner outcomes, show up where the procedures are written and enforced.
The second half follows the accountability thread through the Epstein files—where expectations outpace admissible evidence—and into the swamp of federal renovations with eye-popping budgets, politicians under indictment, and the legal insider trading that makes voters cynical. We talk about what proof looks like, why hearsay burns hot but fades in court, and how simple measures—federal body cameras during searches and uses of force, real-time trade bans for lawmakers, tight conflict-of-interest firewalls—could rebuild trust without a grand redesign.
Along the way there’s humor, a few ads, and a reminder that local action beats rage scrolling. If you care about election integrity, institutional accountability, and practical reform, pull up a chair and then take a step into your own county meeting. If this episode hit a nerve, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review telling us the first reform you’d demand in your town.

We're getting screwed, man. Every time we turn around, we're getting screwed. Well, the revolution's gonna be true guests for sure. It's the only one we take. It's the little guys, the little guys that take the point of everything. It's gonna 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. Snuck up on us. Alright, let's make sure we've got all the sound set up right before we do anything significant today. Alright, and of course, as you know, it's that time in the morning for the simultaneous sip. I know why you're here. You're here for the simultaneous sip. All you need is a cup or a mug, a glass, a tinker, a chalice, a snine, a canteen, a jugger, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill up 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_25:My coffee smells good. Kind of funny how coffee never tastes as good as it smells. As you grow older, you'll discover that life is very much like coffee.
SPEAKER_14:The aroma is always better than the actuality. May that be your thought for the day.
SPEAKER_10:The aroma is always better than the actuality. Pony Boy, I see you there in the chats. Good morning. Ron, that's you, Peasants Perspective. Good morning, Pony Boy. Uh Carlitz, good morning, y'all. Welcome, welcome, everybody. Glad you guys all made it out. So we've had a couple interesting things happen over the weekend. Or not weekend, yesterday. A couple things happened yesterday. Every day feels like a weekend now. There's been quite a few resignations. There was a big resignation uh in Keir Starmer's cabinet, or at least a significant investigation into Epstein connections with Lord Mandelson. Um, there was the somebody in in Norway's house or royal family had to step down. Uh, we've had multiple CEOs step down. It's pretty interesting. It's been a good little chunk of people. It's been quite the uh crash, just like this bridge that crashed in China this weekend for yesterday. So for those of you that's a lot of background noise of rubble and whatnot falling. I like the one little sign standing there. Like, I made it! So this big bridge in China collapsed, and this is the 758-meter long Hongquik bridge collapse in southwest China months after opening.
SPEAKER_21:Dang.
SPEAKER_10:So apparently their concrete is like tofu. Yeah, the cheap Chinese steel. The cheap Chinese steel. It's that sand steel with the tofu concrete. Like, come on, man. Anyways, I don't know. We shouldn't celebrate huge projects, infrastructure projects collapsing, but there's a part of me that is just like China is us whole. Don't trust China, Donald Trump. Speaking of, I think I actually have speaking of I think I think I have China is us whole. We'll see if we can pull it up here in a minute. Okay, so another thing that's going on here is this election scenario. So yesterday I had a chance to go to the KitSAP Republican Party, which is always such a pleasure and enjoy. And uh I'm struck. We cover kind of a national news beat, right? And we'll get down into the local stuff, but for the most part, a little bit, we're kind of looking at the federal system. Obviously, this is where I need my you know fix because those are the guys that came after me specifically. But the truth of the matter is for 90% of America, it's your local government that impacts you the most.
SPEAKER_21:Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_10:And so it was interesting, you know. I love going to the to the local Republican Party and seeing how things shake down. And one of the things that is absent from the local Republican Party is really any discussion around the elections and the voting and the ballots. And I think it's one of those things in Washington State, you're just defeated, right? It's universal mail and ballots.
SPEAKER_21:Well, it feels that way for sure, right?
SPEAKER_10:Okay, it's Dominion Voting Machines. One of the things that's like, who's counting these votes? I don't know. I've been around a year and I have not been invited to be a poll watcher or anything like that. So I'm not exactly sure how all that works out, but it's really concerning to me that the Republican Party at large, especially down at the local level, aren't making more noise about the election structure itself.
SPEAKER_21:Or just have any questions at all.
SPEAKER_10:Or just have any questions at all. And I'm also very struck by this concept. And I've had a dozen people, no less than a dozen people, come back to me and go, your little statement about how narratives win and facts don't matter, is revelatory. And I'm like, I thought that was just assumed. I mean, again, when it comes to election fraud, I haven't learned anything new for five or six years. I just assumed that like decent people would see it and, you know, adjust and do something. Yeah, apparently that's not the case. Here is CNN, again, having this topic about did Trump really lose 2020? Guys, they're pushing this narrative. This was the point. The reason that these judges dismissed these cases wasn't because they thought, oh, someone down the road is going to go examine these and realize we didn't look at the evidence. They wanted exactly what uh I can't even remember her name, the CNCN anchor. She will be as irrelevant as my eight-year-old kid on the political scene the moment she stops having a TV show, right? Her political thoughts are equal to my eight-year-old's political thoughts. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah. So this is another one of those people that's only talking and we're listening because she's on TV. Because day after day, she has some of the stupidest hot takes you've ever seen. It's one of those the sky is not blue kind of things going on. So here she is, again, being like, well, all these judges looked at these cases and dismissed things.
SPEAKER_17:Oh shit.
SPEAKER_10:Really?
SPEAKER_06:Do you think that Trump is right that he in fact won Fulton County and won the state of Georgia? I don't think so, but what's the harm in seeing? What's the wrong thing? So you think what is the harm in seeing well, Trump has made up out of whole cloth an accusation. Why is this judicial warrant wrong in your opinion? Joe. Why is the judicial warrant? I just asked you a simple question. Do you think he won the state? He made it out of a whole cloth. There's nothing. He just made it up.
SPEAKER_10:No affidavits, no attorneys poking around, no bail bondsmen that are following the actual people dropping off these ballots. No actual evidence. Whole cloth made it out.
SPEAKER_21:Well, right. And also she's like, I'm just asking a question. He's just asking a question too, dummy.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_06:You idiot.
SPEAKER_21:That's what I don't think so.
SPEAKER_06:Okay. So then what is he looking for? I mean, other than what he's already told us that he wants, which is more of a US attorney went to a judge that was not appointed by Donald Trump and gave evidence and got a warrant from a judge.
SPEAKER_05:No, no, no.
SPEAKER_06:Why did it have anything to do at all with Trump's false claims that he won with one?
SPEAKER_10:His false claims. Those are his claims. He's yet to adjudicate the claims, right? Determine false or not. Saying that you have no standing as an elect, you know, an elector or whatever, what do you call these a candidate? Saying you have no standing in an election in which you're candidate, and then the Supreme Court later has to come back nine to zero and say, uh, candidates definitely have standing in elections. That's 60 cases that got dismissed that should have been heard, lady at CNN. I can't even remember your name. I think it's Abby, but I'm about to call you Abby Lau, which is the attorney for Hunter Bibes. So that's the wrong name.
SPEAKER_05:Hold on, how do I answer? How do you know definitively? I'm going to ask you a question. You're saying this from a high hole. I'm just asking.
SPEAKER_11:How do you know there's no evidence? This is how I know, Joe, because this has been litigated to be litigated. There were six different cases in 20. Again, these these 60 different cases. No, there were no cases. Trump lost all of them. And now you're coming back six years later and you want to say, let's look at the 2020 election. I think this is a ridiculous. And if Trump wants a judgment, let me just say this. No, but no, but I saw the I read that five-page warrant today, and that warrant relies on an FBI agent who testified there was evidence of illegal of the criminal activity that took place in those files. There's no evidence to prove that. That FBI agent is a lie.
SPEAKER_21:We need a transcript of this because I'm going to tell you what she said. I listened to what the woman said, and this is what she said. And I guarantee you didn't hear this. She said, this is what she said. Let him answer the question. I'm asking the questions. That was a good question. That's what she said.
SPEAKER_10:I'm asking a question. That's a good question. The hysteria over just checking on the ballots. What's the harm in this?
SPEAKER_05:I know.
SPEAKER_10:What's the harm? Looking over here. Hey, are you able to make the chats live onto the uh feed? If you go into settings, I think you can do that. Huh?
SPEAKER_21:I think so.
SPEAKER_10:Yeah. So we've got uh just me underscore PNW. Greetings from North Kitsap. Welcome, North Kit Sap Amigo. That's where I'm from too. At first glance, I thought that it said North Korea.
SPEAKER_17:Greetings from North Korea.
SPEAKER_10:North Kitsap can feel like North Korea sometimes. Uh I am driving by the way, just me. I was like, Supreme Leader, is that you? Okay. So Mike Davis was asked by uh he Mike Davis was asked by Benny Johnson, what happens, right? What if we found out that Trump actually won the 2020 Georgia election? But additionally, what if we find out that the other electors didn't really win? And Mike Davis gives a simple answer here. Again, narratives do not matter. For all of you out there that have injected yourself with hopium, and there might have been a time or two that I've taken it mainline into the veins too. There is zero chance that if you prove an election after latches, right, after it's set in, that you overturn it. Maybe you can get some judge that'll overturn some small local election district. But when you're talking national elections and stuff like that, listen, we knew that Kennedy stole his election out of Chicago. Why didn't the CIA just expose the stolen election? Why'd they have to shoot him? Because the American people consented to his leadership and the election no longer mattered after that. And that's what happened with Joe Biden. The moment Americans sat down on January 21st and went, well, that was fun. It was all over. You're down for the four-year ride.
SPEAKER_21:Well, I think that's why, you know, on election night, when I watched Washington flip in about three minutes, I was like, I'm going to bed. Yeah. It was over.
SPEAKER_10:Yeah. Once the decision's made and the consent sets in, you're not going to find very stalwart judges that are going to overturn the consent of the people. Because remember, facts do not win, narratives do.
SPEAKER_03:So this is a question that I really wanted to ask you, like sincerely, Mike, is what happens when you're able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that at least 10,000 votes were fraudulent because that was the margin of victory, that Joe Biden didn't win this state, that these two senators who also won, and it was amazing. I couldn't believe I was like gat I was blown away when I was pulling up this data yesterday with Barry Loudermelk, who's a congressman from Georgia. The two senators from Georgia they won by the exact same margins, exact same vote tallies, same numbers. It was like perfectly algorithmic. And it's like, wait a second, what happens now if you actually say there's there are illegitimate senators that are serving that were not duly elected, and that this election didn't go for Joe Biden. It went for Donald Trump. What happens there exactly constitutionally, Mike?
SPEAKER_08:It's a good question, Ben. I mean, Democrats have been rigging and stealing elections for decades, uh, including Kennedy's. So it's uh, you know, it's Democrats are very good at this. Um, and it's it's unacceptable. I mean, it's truly unacceptable if first of all, we we know the election in 2020 was rigged and stolen because these they the the Democrats violated the the elections clause under the U.S. Constitution by unilaterally using COVID as an excuse to change election laws and not having state legislatures or Congress change the election laws. You can't just do that. That violates the elections clause. And remember what they did with COVID. They used COVID as an excuse to mass mail live ballots out to old voter lists, including college students who have moved ten times since the last election. Uh, these live ballots pile up in mailboxes and dorms and apartments. And the only way you can stop the voter fraud is through signature verification. But the Democrats made signature verification meaningless. They turned the machines down to where it would not catch signatures that were wrong because apparently COVID changed our signatures, right? That's that's the tell that this election was rigged and stolen, is they got rid of signature verification. That's separate from the fact that if you have our voting machines hacked and tampered with by foreign governments, that's a whole that's that's act of war material. Like that's like that that is some bad stuff. That's treason. That's act of war. I mean, if people actually did this, they need to go to prison for the rest of their lives at a minimum.
SPEAKER_10:Yeah, I agree, Mike Davis. They need to go to prison for the rest of your life of their lives. Now you might have heard us in the background trying to get the chat to pop out on the screen. So we're gonna spend just a second doing that. Go back to the rumble. It's it's one of those tabs, Ron. It's just simply gonna be it's gonna be on your right side here. On your right, far right, it's one of these. So that the viewers can see the chat from watching. It's gotta be no way that you can just do it again, but if you can't do it again.
SPEAKER_15:Maybe.
SPEAKER_10:Alright, well, that's alright, guys. Okay, so Tulsi Gabbard. So Mike Davis there, right? He admits, well, Democrats have been stealing elections all the way back from Kennedy. Yeah, and there's not an asterisk next to his name when you look at the list of presidents, right? So it's like we know from Tuberville, some of these senators owe their seats to Venezuela. What are you gonna do about it? That's the big question here. What are we gonna do about it? Trump has already invalidated all the executive orders that Biden signed. And what are you gonna do about it? You're still following the regulations, you're still following the taxes, right? So the only way to really get through this is there's going to have to be national security charges. This is gonna have to be more than just, uh, we found a couple stuffed ballots, and oh yeah, the the guy for talk forgot to take the machine down to get certified before the election, but all is well that ends well. Biden won. Taylor spent 14 months in prison, but he got pardoned. I mean, what are you guys complaining about, right? Yeah, let's go up for ice cream.
SPEAKER_09:Yeah, what's wrong?
SPEAKER_10:I mean, everything's been made right in the world. No, I don't think so. Tulsi Gabbard, in response to letters written to her from Congress, responded back with a four-page letter to ranking member Warner and member Himes, basically telling them I was down in Georgia looking at the ballots because guess what? It's a national security matter. And she goes through and cites four pages of all of her authorities on why she was there. And she basically follows up with therefore, the OD and I had no ability, authority, or responsibility to inform the committees about the search warrant ahead of its execution. I'm checking on national security, and we had a criminal search warrant, and we don't tip people off for criminal search warrants. So sorry, guys, if you have questions, you may contact Sarah Lynn Coley, Assistant Director of National Intelligence, and that's her phone number if anybody's interested. Wow. I think we should call up and be like, Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We've got we're gonna do an interview with a local candidate running for state house here pretty soon. Oh, cool. We're gonna have to ship up this studio to bring her in. Yeah, I am wearing uh my dad brought me a whole collection of hats. Because, you know, I wear a hat every day on the show. And so he brought me a bunch of hats, and not one of them is a hat I would have purchased at the store. So this one right here is the famous Idaho Potato Bowl. So I'm wearing the famous Idaho Potato Bowl hat. You may have noticed yesterday I was wearing a BMW hat. Yeah, I like that hat because I feel like a rich guy, like the guy that just, you know, drives a BMW and actually bought the hat at the parts department, you know, to wear it with his windbreaker. I like that hat. Anyways, I will be wearing the camouflage hat with the Mountain Dew logo at some point. That's just spot on redneck. All right, so the one of the people that was at the center of all of the election nonsense was Rudy Giuliani. He was also on with Benny Johnson talking about this Georgia election. Now, remember, Rudy Giuliani is the purveyor and the curator of a lot of the evidence of election fraud that we had out of all of the swing states, specifically Georgia. He's pretty convinced they had an actual printing shop three weeks away from where they were counting ballots, and they were printing and counting like same day kind of thing going on.
SPEAKER_26:They probably brought more paper into Pennsylvania in the month before the election than we ever had in the United States. I mean, they were sending trucks and trucks and trucks and paper. Dunder Mifflin was certain that in Georgia they had a factory three blocks.
SPEAKER_10:Yeah, Dunder Mifflin had the contract. Yeah. How do we know I Iraq had the yellow cake? Because we kept the receipts.
SPEAKER_26:They needed to uh to fix the election. Uh, we could never get the U.S. attorney to do a search warrant. When we uncovered a uh an ATF agent uncovered a possible burning of ballots, Barr assured us that it would be covered, and the U.S. attorney sent no one. The ATF agent is willing to testify to it today. I mean, there's so much evidence in uh and come on.
SPEAKER_10:But Ron, there's no evidence. That ATF agent's lying, just like the FBI agent who swore up to the ball. Well, nothing's been adjudicated. Come on. It's all been dismissed.
SPEAKER_26:I mean, your eyes don't lie, Ben.
SPEAKER_03:So you think that there was a factory that they were printing ballots at next.
SPEAKER_26:I don't think it I had evidence of it. I never was allowed to present it. You know, uh people say, oh gosh, you lost so many cases. I actually only presented one case in court in Pennsylvania. I quit on the courts. Other lawyers uh I had a different strategy. My strategy was to present this evidence uh to legislature legislature so we preserve it. My fear was we would lose it for history. And I think they were trying to do that. I thought we had a narrow chance of turning around the election given what was a raid against us and how the courts wouldn't even have hearings, which was very suspicious. And I've I've done a hundred TROs as a lawyer, temporary restraining orders. You see them now with uh the president's duties. They'll always delay something. Always. I never got one judge that was listen willing to listen to one witness, and I I f I figured out why in the first case. Once you hear a witness, it's very different than just hearing Giuliani or Sydney or some lawyer talking for.
SPEAKER_10:Because lawyers are presumed to be liars, right? And judges know this because they are also former liars, right? So they absolutely know the game. Judges don't, or judges and lawyers don't go under oath, but you know who does? Those witnesses, those pesky witnesses, they are called to testify. Do you know what testify originally means, Ron? How significant it is to testify to something.
SPEAKER_21:I don't know, man.
SPEAKER_10:Testify has a similar root word to testicles, and it used to be in a council of men, when you went to testify, you were putting your Testicles at risk. So you would stand there and you would hold your nuts while you told the truth or did not. And if you told a lie, you lost your testicles because you had testified. You had put your testes up as security for the truth. I know it's pretty morbid, but for men, and you know, this is pretty significant. You're not gonna lie when you're testifying, if you know what I'm saying, okay? So that is why a judge would take a witness more serious, but they also know they can't listen to the witness because then they can't dismiss him and just write it off as the bluster of some lawyer.
SPEAKER_26:You hear the woman say they trained me to fix ballots, and she's a very sweet old lady who's a very religious Catholic, and she starts crying. Then you hear another one and another one and another one. So what we did was we presented it to the legislature so that it would be there under oath. So that now you acquire some additional evidence, you can add it to that, and it becomes I think it's definitively proven that he won Georgia, that he won Wisconsin, and that he won Pennsylvania. I think that Michigan, it is proven that there were massive acts of fraud, but it's not proven yet. It's not at the number, or not for me. There may be people who have done it. And Arizona, I felt we could get there if they didn't hide all the ballots. And everybody hid the ballots. We have never gotten to see meaning the Trump people, any of his lawyers, me or any of the others, we've never gotten to see the actual ballots. The governor, in this case, the Republican governor of Georgia and the Republican Secretary of State have hidden those ballots as if they're phoned.
SPEAKER_03:And now the feds have them.
SPEAKER_26:We finally have them. You had to get them by uh by a raid. And I I fear uh I I know that 300,000 or so are burned.
SPEAKER_10:And I have an ATF agent who has who has proof of that, which we so obviously the the administrators in Fulton County are kind of in panic mode because you know, do they even have enough ballots for the number of votes that got total counted? We know there's missing tabulator rolls. Just fire the printer back up. We oh come on, go call the FBI and let them know you got a couple extra ballots and they didn't grab the first time. They're they're literally still hot off the press. Yeah. So this is the Fulton County chair, Rob Pitts of the Fulton County Board. And you've gotta hear this stuff. I know that you know we play these little clips, but information is power. And when you can make your narrative align up with true facts, life gets easier, right? Because the truth needs no defense, it simply needs to be spoken and it'll win. It's in the silence that it loses, right? Which is why we have to speak the truth into existence. We have to identify it.
SPEAKER_21:So when we listen to Yeah, you'll hear often uh democracy dies in darkness. Okay.
SPEAKER_10:Democracy dies in darkness, yes. And as Goebbels says, right, repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth. So that's what they're trying to do. So we want to hear it. We want to internalize it. We want to understand what they're saying. These people have had control of the ballots for five years. These people just a few weeks ago went into a court of law and said, we want to destroy the ballots. It's been over 22 months. We're tired of holding them. Please, can we burn these ballots? They wanted to burn the ballots again just a few weeks ago. Yet listen to this representative, so concerned, so concerned. Chain of custody. Uh, I mean, I can't prove that whatever they count isn't what guys, guys, see it for what it is, right?
SPEAKER_03:How concerned are you that the federal government may try to intervene in your elections this year?
SPEAKER_29:Well, I'm extremely concerned. And we were concerned, first of all, about the confiscation of the records that we were holding uh at our warehouse here. They were safe and secure. That's what I've tried to um assure our citizens and the voters that they were. But once they left uh our possession last uh couple of days ago, I have no idea where the records are. I have no idea who has the records, I have no idea what they're doing with the records. So it is some concern. And what really though bothers me is that I think uh the bigger issue here is what is this all about? And what I think, my own opinion, that it's it's all about the 2026 and the 2028 elections if they are able to sow dissent concern, confusion among the voters, it could impact, and I think it will impact the elections in 26 and 28. So that's my biggest concern now.
SPEAKER_10:How will it impact them? Will people just not want to vote because they're not certain their ballots will ever get counted? Are people gonna show up to vote because they're pissed off at the last election? How will it affect the 2026 and 2028 election? How will it affect it? Will it make it more fair or less fair? These guys are terrified of a real election, terrified of a real election.
SPEAKER_21:I don't know, but those ballots were safe and sound when we had them.
SPEAKER_10:We were just trying to destroy them. We were trying to assure my voters I would destroy all of the evidence of 2020. The evidence that uh Trump said the big lie.
SPEAKER_29:They've wanted to take over Bully County elections for some time now. And that's not gonna happen on my watch. So I think this may be a part of this, also.
SPEAKER_10:The 2020 I have a feeling that before the end of this calendar here, this man right here will be on TV sitting next to his lawyer talking about the charges against him.
SPEAKER_29:Elections are over with, no matter what they're doing with the ballots. Uh, nothing's going to change. Again, we counted every legal vote, they were counted multiple times. They were there was even uh a hand count.
SPEAKER_10:And in every instance, we had every person who participated in those multiple counts, especially you hand counters who touched every unfolded piece of paper, you're going to jail.
SPEAKER_29:In fact, in addition to that, we've had conducted some 17 elections since 2020 without any errors, concerns whatsoever. So I'm satisfied that what we're doing here in Bears, our elections of fair Battlestar Galactic.
SPEAKER_10:You have not conducted elections at a fair. In fact, Trump just posted a video a couple days ago about a local precinct where we saw the vote split and it was so small, they hand-counted them and realized that the machines were just giving tallies that were off completely. Now, like many things that happen with Donald Trump's administration, is we have a Machiavelli problem. Here's a problem, here's a solution. And it and while we might we might ideologically align with the person offering the solution today, the solution involves tools and mechanisms and technologies that I don't know that we want to ever have weaponized against us if it ever gets in the hands of someone who doesn't agree with us ideologically, right? It's kind of like the Patriot Act. It's great when you're going after Haji and the towel heads in Iraq. It's a completely different thing when you're going after Mima in Florida. You know what I mean? Like it's same tools, same tools, same people. So that's how I feel about what's this new conversation that Donald Trump brought up with Dan Bongino. We need to nationalize the elections. Oh my gosh. You know how hard it was for them to steal 3,000 different elections every every four years?
SPEAKER_21:Right. If they only have to steal one.
SPEAKER_10:So it might solve a problem today, but gosh, it feels Machiavellian because the solution ends up being the bigger problem that we the people can't solve by ourselves in the future. So here is Eric Swalwell on CNN being asked about just that nationalizing the election. Now, keep in mind the Democrats, just a few years ago under Nancy Pelosi, were introducing legislation to nationalize the election, which is also what makes me so nervous because it feels like it's one big club and you ain't in it. When Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi agree on the same policy outcomes, but why they wanted you to that policy is completely different. I smell a narrative and no facts, right? So I'm concerned. I'm very concerned about nationalizing the elections.
SPEAKER_27:On another topic, Congressman, uh earlier in the show, we talked about President Trump's uh comments uh just today uh that elections maybe should be nationalized. Um, what is your response to the president's uh proposal?
SPEAKER_22:Our elections are hyper-local. That's how they've always been. And this sounds to me like somebody who sees a wipeout coming at the ballot box based on the energy we've seen in the streets with no kings rallies and also the results we've shown in special elections. And so that's why it's it's really on governors right now, blue state governors to max out democracy and their states.
SPEAKER_10:The states run elections, max out democracy and their states.
SPEAKER_22:You can interpret that as max out demagoguery in this country, and you have to make it as accessible as possible because you can count on Donald Trump to do everything, whether it's through the National Guard, whether it's through ICE, whether it's through the Postal Service, to try and prevent Democrats from going into the majority, holding him accountable, and writing a budget that lowers costs and delivers health care.
SPEAKER_10:And so it's really going to be Okay, so everything except for the last part about lowering costs and healthcare, I know that's a lie, but I want Donald Trump to keep Democrats from winning. And I want him to do all those things, Eric Smallwell.
SPEAKER_22:On governors, and we need governors to step up. We've seen that in California. They tried to take five seats in Texas. Gavin Newsom led the way to get five seats back in California. We need to see that everywhere.
SPEAKER_27:I'm so glad you mentioned uh Gavin Newsom. I was gonna ask you uh about him. Uh, you of course are are running uh in the primary to replace him.
SPEAKER_10:Um he is Pony Boy says no kings rallies, which is so funny because when he said as evidenced by the no kings rallies, I'm like the most produced things we've ever seen.
SPEAKER_27:I guess my question to you today is uh I guess it's only what February 2nd, 2026. Are you ready to endorse Gavin Newsom for president in 2028?
SPEAKER_22:I'm ready to endorse the idea that the next governor is not gonna look like that. Uh that that's obvious. Um, but what I admire about him is the show not tell leadership. That is I said, you look at some, they write eight pages strongly of worded letters. This guy goes to the courts, goes to the voters, and people are reacting. They want a fighter and protect him.
SPEAKER_10:I can't. Gavin Newsom is the show, not tell president. Show what? Ass. Show what? Show that he's utterly and completely corrupt and incompetent and incapable of rebuilding huge, burnt down portions of a state. He's capable of balancing a budget or taking one single homeless person off the street. How many years are you gonna have to give this guy to show you he's exactly what Republicans say is? A sneeze bag.
SPEAKER_21:He's completely comfortable with his eminence.
SPEAKER_10:He's Gavin Newscomb. Yeah, it's unbelievable. I I just I still I'm still laughing at the No Kings rallies. Yeah, that's as evidenced by the the No Kings rallies, yeah, because that's some real popular support against Donald Trump. Oh my goodness. What do we have for us this morning, Ron?
SPEAKER_21:Oh, I'm always trying. Let's see. No, no, no.
SPEAKER_10:They're all oh different advertisers make a bid to advertise for you, our listeners.
SPEAKER_21:Right.
SPEAKER_10:I I think it's like in real time somehow they figured out.
SPEAKER_21:It is.
SPEAKER_09:Oh, there we go. We got something there.
SPEAKER_21:No.
SPEAKER_09:What about Rumble Wallet?
SPEAKER_21:It's faking you out.
SPEAKER_09:Oh, there we go. Here we go, guys.

SPEAKER_10:Yeah, tip us an ounce of gold. Do we have the camera? Am I yeah, yeah, yeah. You're on. Oh, okay. It's just I'm staring at a play screen.
SPEAKER_21:Yes. Sorry.
SPEAKER_10:It was on me the whole time. Picking my nose.
SPEAKER_21:No, no, no, no. It was on me.
SPEAKER_10:Some of the special things the video listeners get to see that the audio listeners don't. Um, he has burned his state literally and figuratively. You know, I know one of our uh loyal listeners, Lisa, tunes in occasionally. She's constantly trying to, you know, drop these passive aggressive hints, like, oh, we'll get you to move down to California. You know, the weather's great down here. And I'm like, I I I already live in a communist state. But at least here, people, there's a different, like, we're not here for the weather. You know what I mean? Like, we're here because we have to be. So there's a there's a commiseration for those of us that are kind of stuck here. But down in California, it's like, dude, you're in or out. You know what I mean? Like, you don't get stuck down there. Maybe I guess you do get stuck down there. You get stuck down there thinking that you can't go anywhere else in the country because of the weather, and meanwhile, you're paying taxes up the wazoo.
SPEAKER_21:Yeah, maybe it's pretty bad.
SPEAKER_10:Last night at our meeting, we we listened to a pretty long meeting. This is the Kids App Republican Party meeting. The GOP. Yeah, we listened to a pretty long uh speech given by one of the representatives that's coming out of the Allen area in Washington. And he's talking about being in the minority in Congress and just how difficult it is to slow anything up. And he was over-emphasizing how important it was for you to make public comment and you know, to put push back the public pushing back on these Democrat legislatures. Because a lot of times, unfortunately, just the engagement level is so low. These guys come up with some crackpot idea, and nobody on their side pushes back. Nobody challenges them, nobody challenges them, and they just it just kind of goes through without anybody thinking twice. But when they do get pushed back, you know, that these are weak people. A lot of them are weak people, is kind of the impression I got. But um, the other thing, the other thing too is I was just, you know, again, I'm like, these elections matter. I'm I'm in Washington State, given the environment I see at the conservative level, I'm just begging for a national solution to the election problem, which is really tricky for me, right? Because on one hand, yes, I don't want national elections, but on the other hand, I don't believe that anybody locally can get their arms around this thing. I mean, how do you how do you get your arms around it? Yeah, we've got every focal point for fraud and corruption is embedded in our electoral process.
SPEAKER_21:Yeah, it does make you feel like giving up, doesn't it, before you ever start.
SPEAKER_10:It does kind of. It's kind of makes you sit there and go, oh, well, just playing on the margins. I don't want to play on the margins. Yeah, you know, I want to play at the heart of it. So, okay, this is Dan Bongino. He made his first appearance yesterday back on his radio show, radio podcast show. And it was a good show. I listened to about half of it. I gotta admit, I was questioning if I would listen to Dan Bongino, and I decided I will. He's an insider, he's got information. We want to know that information. Whether you agree or not with every single action he took, he is now in the unique position where he has been put under, you know, he's got the job, and now he knows things that he has to keep secret because grand jury and investigations and blah, blah, blah.
SPEAKER_21:So we're and we we don't know why he's made all the decisions that he's made.
SPEAKER_10:No, we don't. But at the same time, one of our duties as peasants is on one hand, the government is guilty till proven innocent. But when you're talking about the individuals in government, the individual actors, we kind of have to cast a cloak of charity because it's my aunt Susan that works at the county registrar office, and it's your cousin Jimmy who works at the sheriff's department, and it's our nephew Roger, who works, you know, in the building department approving permanent man. Like these aren't corrupt people, they're just they're just punching the time clock and following the procedure manual, right? Right. So my beef sometimes is with the procedure manual, right? And how do we policies? Yeah, exactly. And and absolutely, politicians who set up the policies, you know, some of them need to be run out on a butter rail, but nonetheless, you can't blame every individual actor. And Dan Bongino coming into the FBI, he's kind of up against all of that. He's up against the bureaucracy, he's up against the deep state, and he's up against reality. We do have a criminal justice system here that despite all of the manipulation and all of the double standard of justice, as a conservative walking into court, you better get probable cause. You better do all the things that you're supposed to do in order to actually start and prosecute an investigation. So Dan Bongino is addressing the Epstein situation. Dan Bongino's big mistake, in my opinion, is he came out and he made definitive statements. Epstein killed himself. There's no there there, blah, blah, blah. Rather than this more detailed explanation about, listen, the file was vapid, right? We don't have the smoking guns like you think. That's what we needed to hear then. Not nothing to see here. I've looked at it myself, folks. Epstein killed himself. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So let's listen to how he talks about the Epstein file and about how Mike Davis had the best take. Listen, there's still a criminal standard that has to be met. We can't just string everybody up who flew on the Lolita Express.
SPEAKER_23:But it was a level 10 problem. It was never going to please everyone. The person I thought at the time who nailed what the issues were with this was our good friend Mike Davis. Um, you got I'll play the CNN one uh clip next, but throw up Davis' tweet. There were a ton of problems with this. There was grand jury material. There was uh here it was. He he put this out. He's anyone who rapes kids deserves the death penalty. Amen. Here's a problem with the Epstein Vest. The FBI doesn't have the evidence, many thought it did. I want to see the files, folks. I said, Don't let it go. I meant it. We got elected, we looked at it. The file was not what was in there was not what we thought would be in there. There are not tapes with powerful men raping kids. There is not a list. Epstein's Rolodex was already public. The file's largely unreleasable for many reasons, including grand jury material, which they're moving to get a lot of that out. Court records under seal, child pornography that was downloaded from the internet. You can read the rest of it, protection of victims. We obviously don't want victims' names out there. Here's another one. Keep that up for a second. Double or triple hearsay. You're seeing it now. You're seeing on Twitter. Like this guy said Joey Bag of Donuts, you know, uh cut this woman with a razor or what this uh young girl while while raping her. And you're like, wow, that's a really horrible story. It's terrible. And then you find out Joey Bag of Donuts was whatever, some famous athlete who was playing a game in Phoenix that night. Like a lot of this stuff was just people called, not all, by the way, not all of it. This is an extremely serious case. Let me be crystal clear. But that doesn't mean every single tip that came in uh, you know, was had any kind of veracity to it at all. A lot of the stuff was clearly debunked. He said, Does anyone believe uh Bondi, Patel, or Bungino would cover up for Bill Clinton, Bill Gates? Didn't even make sense. I was all over this case on my show. Trump DOJ wanted to be fully transparent, but it couldn't at the time for the reasons above, it's not gonna satisfy many. And that's fine. But folks, I'm not gonna spend the next two years talking about it. This administration got you the information, you can all look at it, and a lot of people are using it to divide us from the inside. Those are just the facts. That's just the way it goes. And by the way, the dividing people from the inside thing is not working. A lot of this is bullshit, a lot of it is foreign operations designed to make us divorce ourselves from the inside, current thing, everything. It is a deadly serious case. There is zero doubt about it. Everyone in the administration treated it as such. Everyone from the start. But it was not, it was a level 10 problem. I can prove it to you. No one else had solved it in the past, correct? Those are just the facts. It was trouble.
SPEAKER_10:No one had solved it never please everyone. There clearly wasn't anything in there that was genuinely damaging to Trump, or otherwise, they would have released it, you know, a million times over. But what you do is you do have a lot of hearsay, a lot of supposition, a lot of, hey, you want to come to dinner at my place? Well, what does that mean? You know? Now, one thing about this all these emails was if you ever doubted the quote unquote P. Pizzagate conspiracy. My friends, Pizzagate is real. And what they were doing was horrid and disgusting. But like he says, you have emails, these kind of become hearsay. You need dates, times, witness testimony. What do they have? What don't they have? I mean, one of the witnesses that I had listened to years ago, and I've mentioned before, Michael Moore's witness, said that Melania and Trump were on the yacht before they were married. So I'm supposed to believe that he witnessed baby sacrifices and Trump and Melania were there before they were together. Or how about the woman in Africa who was a victim that was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein who says he turned into a reptile? Is that drugs? Is that are we really being led by reptilian overlords? I mean, is this Kristen Walker on Meet the Press? Is this B the 1980s TV show? I don't know. I mean, I guess I guess I have to hold open the possibilities that our our world is run by reptilian aliens that feast on young women. You know what I mean? I guess. I don't know. So that's where we're kind of left. And we see little images and pictures. Like, for example, here's a picture right here. This is a gentleman sitting next to Jeffrey Epstein, and they're both snuggling too, but appear to be slightly younger ladies, at least younger than Jeffrey Epstein. Okay, sure. So who is this person? This is this is Ratner. Okay, this is what's his first name? Uh film director Ratner. Uh Brett Ratner. Okay, film director Brett Ratner. Now, why is film director Brett Nattner on with Piers Morgan? Is it just because he appeared in this photograph in Epstein's files? Yeah, that's pretty much it. No, this man just directed the new documentary, Melania. Oh. So now you have the director of this box office hit who just had the highest gross for a documentary in the first weekend, like 8 million or something like that, which seems really low for any kind of thing. That's really low. Yeah, but eight apparently documentaries aren't really barn burners.
SPEAKER_17:All right.
SPEAKER_10:But uh, you know, had this great box office weekend. Everybody seems to like it. Well, here's the director. The weekend the show comes out, he shows up in this picture. Now, we've seen this picture for decades at this point, right? This picture is an old one. This didn't just get released yesterday, but it was re-released yesterday. So he gets asked by Pierce Morgan, why are you in this picture? I mean, is this an underage girl? Is this at the island? What's happening here?
SPEAKER_14:Uh Brett, I want to just switch gears quickly to uh the very serious and big stories in the news, the Epstein Files. As you know, the picture came out of you with Jeffrey Epstein with two apparently young women in it. What is your response to that picture? And what is your response to the wider scandal of the Epstein Files?
SPEAKER_07:Oh, well, that particular picture that picture in particular happened uh I around 20 years ago. I don't know 20, 19, 20 to 21 years ago, because that is a photograph of my fiance who invited me to this event, and that's where the picture was taken. I would never been in contact with Jeffrey Epson before that photo, and I was never in contact with him after. So that's a picture of my me and my fiance at some event.
SPEAKER_14:Wow. So who was the fiance, if you don't mind me asking?
SPEAKER_07:You know, she doesn't want me sharing uh her name in in in in the case, but that's my fiance, 100%. Was my fiance. But you're not still with them. You're not still with them. No, he's not engaged. It's the the world's longest engagement. No, no, 20 years. 20 years ago, I was engaged to her when that photo was taken. Oh right. Yeah.
SPEAKER_14:And and and you your position is you never met Epstein before or after that picture at night.
SPEAKER_07:No, never. Never. Never.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_10:I want to quit was that his fiance? I mean, I can understand not wanting to disclose her name. She invited me. Now everybody's gonna go to her and be like, Did you know Jeffrey Epstein?
SPEAKER_17:Right?
SPEAKER_10:Okay, well, there's a photo. Jeffrey Epstein, young girls, and there's the director, and he's like, That was my fiance. When you black out the picture of my fiance, it makes it look like a teenager, but really she's my age, you know what I mean? Or not, or is he just lying to us? Because we all know that the lie makes it around the world before the truth puts on his pants. Is that enough right there to deflect?
SPEAKER_21:You know what I mean? Yeah, uh probably who's the fiance.
SPEAKER_10:I guarantee you there's some sleuth out there right now figuring out who he was engaged to 20 years ago, because likely somebody's gonna know his cousin's gonna remember, somebody's gonna know that Todd Blanche was on with Laura Ingram, he's making these media rounds the other day. I think there's really an effort to try to create a persona around Todd Blanche because he's got so much criticism coming from the Macabase. He was a registered Democrat until 2024, but he was Donald Trump's criminal defense attorney in one of his cases. And so he's, you know, Peter Ticklin says you develop a unique relationship with your criminal defense attorneys in a trial like that when the whole world's against you. And I think that gives Todd Blanche some passes. But here he is talking about are we gonna prosecute anybody else out of the Epstein files?
SPEAKER_04:Well, some of the people we saw on camera at the rallies. Um, uh, is there any chance that any of these individuals who partied with Epstein and engaged in uh uh you know relations with minors will be prosecuted? Any chance?
SPEAKER_02:We I'll never say no. And we will always investigate any evidence of misconduct. But as you know, it is not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein, and and so as horrible as it is, it's not a crime to email with Mr. Epstein. And and some of these men may have done horrible things, and and if we have evidence that allows us to prosecute them, you better believe we will. But it's also the kind of thing that that the American people need to understand that it it isn't a crime to party with Mr. Epstein. It isn't a crime to have a lot of things.
SPEAKER_04:It didn't look like that's all that was going on on some of those photos. I mean, if the photos could speak, then some of them look pretty bad. That's right. And and unfortunately, photos can't speak, and so we need witnesses and we need to. Are there videotapes that you all have? Or well, some of the people we saw on camera at the rallies. Um, uh, is there any chance that any of these are there videos you have?
SPEAKER_10:And this comes down when they executed one of the first search warrants, they opened up one of the safes. There's all these DVDs and files, and then they're like, oh, our search warrant allows us to open the safe but not take anything that's in it. So they walked away, and when they came back, all the stuff in the safe was missing. Gone, right? Obviously, this stuff's been in the possession of Maureen Comey, James Comey's daughter, for four plus five, six, seven years, right? So anything really good and salacious that was gonna target any one huge individual and you know be the smoking gun, so to speak, I think is missing, right? I mean, now, unfortunately, given the voluminous amount of information that is in there, emails back and forth and stuff like that, there's some names that pop out more than others. For example, Bill Gates pops out, Prince Andrew pops out, another person who pops out is Reed Hoffman. Okay, Reed Hoffman, who is he? He is the founder of LinkedIn, he's also the fat billionaire, as they call him in the Epstein files, the fat guy from LinkedIn. Okay, so Reed Hoffman, not only is he wrapped up and tied up in the Epstein scandal as a close associate, a clinger honor for sure. And you go, you're dozens and dozens, if not hundreds, of emails now. You can go read. This guy was, hey Jeff, when are we going back to the island? Hey Jeff, can we go back to the island? Jeff, we should have dinner together, right? What's the next to the party? Jeffrey Epstein is writing other people like, yeah, and Reed will be there, fat guy from LinkedIn. You know, like the guy with money we hate that loves the girls, it's gonna be there. So Reed Hoffman is involved not only in all of the gross Epstein stuff, he's also deeply involved in funding the No Kings protests, the Minnesota riots, the riots that happened down in LA. He was behind a lot of funding of like every single thing. It's so weird how those are connected. Neville Singham and George Soros. One, two, three. These are the billionaires that are so ideologically to the left that they couldn't donate money to a Republican if their mother's life depended on it. You know what I mean? These guys are out there just absolutely funding the destruction, in my opinion, of America. This is Reed Hoffman, just before the 2024 election, saying what he expected to be coming to him. Now keep in mind, this is a guy who's deep in the Epstein files. This is a guy who's deep into funding these protests that have resulted in death. This is the guy who's deep into funding and providing technological infrastructure to the Russia gate coup plotters, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But he's worried that Donald Trump might, you know, retaliate.
SPEAKER_13:And if Trump is elected, I will get penalized. So I'm just gonna stand out of it. And so you think you'll be penalized? Uh I think that uh I think that there's a greater than 50% chance that there will be um uh repercussions uh from a misdirection and corruption.
SPEAKER_10:If I'm completely innocent, I don't say greater than 50% chance. What he's saying is there's a hundred percent chance that if they look at me, they'll find something that will be prosecuted.
SPEAKER_13:I'm guilty.
SPEAKER_10:Yeah, I'm guilty.
SPEAKER_13:The institutions of state uh to uh respond to my having tried to help Harris get elected. He must spend time at night thinking about what that might be. Because if I would Yeah. Well, look, it's a range, and look, I hope that it's only in the soft edge of the range, like IRS audits or phone calls, like you know, that kind of stuff. I hope it's in that arena, right? It could get much worse, but I don't really want to speculate on it because I don't want to give anybody any ideas.
SPEAKER_10:I went to Epstein's Island! I went to Epstein's Island, it could get way worse, it could be the death penalty. I went to Epstein's Island 20 billion times, but I hope it's just an IRS audit, just off probing, maybe some phone calls. But it could get way worse. No, guys, seriously, look at this.
SPEAKER_13:Really want to speculate on it because I don't give anybody any ideas.
SPEAKER_10:I don't want to give anybody ideas what it could be my associations around Jeffrey Epstein, but I don't want to, I I don't want to like I think it's like I think I would safely win a bet that there will be political repercussions that are that are essentially undemocratic, un-American.
SPEAKER_13:Um direct on you. And direct to me, yes. Um I I think I'd safely win that bet. Um I'm hoping that it's in the what I'm terming the soft arena.
SPEAKER_10:As of this moment, Reed Hoffman has not been the subject of anything other than scorn. Okay. I mean, maybe he's gotten a couple phone calls from the IRS. I don't know. But we know for certain he's behind no kings. We know for certain he's behind the anti-ICE protests, we know for certain he's deeply involved with the Epstein things. He's probably right. I mean, there's a lot of places they could look. I I won't say anything because I don't want to give anybody any directions. Guys, that's that's like an admission. You know what I mean? That's basically saying there are places to look. Now, Jay Powell over at the Federal Reserve is had some criminal subpoenas show up. You know, criminal subpoenas that are asking about who you're paying all this money to, contractors, who decided on the budgets. What's happening over at the Federal Reserve is Janine Sapiro at the DC Attorney's Office is trying to figure out if there's corruption or if there's graft on the building at the new Federal Reserve building because it's the most expensive renovation in the history of planet Earth. Okay. More expensive than the construction of the tallest building in the world.
SPEAKER_07:Wow.
SPEAKER_10:And they're renovating. They're not even redoing the walls.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_10:Very expensive. So Tom Tillis, dirtbag senator from North Carolina, has said that he is going to hold up the nomination of the replacement for Jerome Powell, unless Donald Trump withdraws the criminal subpoenas issued against Jay Powell in the Federal Reserve. If you've ever, this is outright corruption. In the movie House of Cards, there's a scene where a legislature gets a DUI and the House whip comes and gets him out of the DUI, right? That whole thing. This is Tom Tillis on national TV being like, well, I'm going to hold up a nomination unless you spike a criminal investigation. Can you do that? You can just spike a criminal investigation. Like you could, like one that started, went to a judge, got warrants for subpoenas. Because you have to get you have to get a judge to sign off on subpoenas. I mean, this isn't like an insignificant thing. So Tom Tillis is asking for the president of the United States to spike a criminal case that a duly nominated and confirmed United States attorney has sought sought to find more information on.
SPEAKER_21:Wow.
SPEAKER_10:Yeah, I know, right? So, so Donald Trump gets asked about that. Hey, are are you gonna interfere with justice? Guys, this is a lose-lose question for Donald Trump, right? Tom Tillis is asking you to interfere with justice. Are you going to do it? If Donald Trump goes, okay, well, to satisfy Tom Tillis and get my person nominated, I'll go ahead and turn the blind eye to billions of dollars of corruption. Really? Really?
SPEAKER_28:Speaking of the Fed, um, would you like to see Janine Pier Pierrot drop the investigation and determined Powell to help Senator Tillis has basically said that you know he's not going to really be working with the government?
SPEAKER_25:Oh she's gonna take it to the end and see. Like you're doing a small renovation, and they've spent almost four billion dollars doing a small renovation. Uh I'm doing buildings. I built a hotel, the Waldorf, it's called, and uh I did it for around$200 million, is a much bigger job. They're spending almost, it could be four billion dollars. I I'll tell you what, I don't even see an end to say. I feel bad badly for the new Fed chairman because he may not have an office for four years. Uh I don't know what these people are doing. So it's either gross incompetence or it's theft of some kind or kickbacks. I don't know what it is, but uh Janine Piro is incredible and she'll figure it out. But no, you want to take it and just find out what happened because we can't go around doing a renovation of a small little complex, very small, a couple of little buildings, and spend billions and billions of dollars on it. Something went wrong. We have to find out what it was.
SPEAKER_10:Tom Tills is on the take. His contractor cousin is building it.
SPEAKER_21:Yeah.
SPEAKER_10:Guys, hello? Like, you want to spike a criminal investigation? No, she's gonna see it through to the end. Either they're incompetent or they're corrupt. Either way, there's gonna be something that comes out of this. No, we'll just sit back and wait. Now, the rate of politicians being arrested is accelerating. I I need to do a little fact-checking on this, but I'm pretty sure there were more politicians arrested in the last 10 days than maybe any other 10 year period in the history of our country. And it ranges from judges to council member. Here's another one. Another Democrat just got picked up yesterday.
SPEAKER_20:State representative Dexter Sharper falsely claimed he was out of work to collect nearly$14,000 in emergency benefits. Investigators say Sharper, a Democrat who represents Valdasta, was earning income as a legislator, running a party rental business, and working as a musician. Following his federal court hearing today, Sharper declined to comment on the case. Now, two other state lawmakers also accused of pandemic unemployment fraud. Democratic Representative Sharon Henderson, whose district covers Covington, and former state representative Karen Bennett, who just resigned on the first day of the year.
SPEAKER_10:I figured it out. I figured it out. Trump's targeting black politicians. That's gotta be it. Because apparently it's not just them, even Representative Ayana Presley is now having her dirty laundry aired out on national news.
SPEAKER_01:This is a Fox News alert. It looks like Ilhan Omar isn't the only millionaire squad member. Our team dug into open secrets and financial disclosure reports. What we found is that when Ayana Presley was elected to Congress back in 2018, she had a negative net worth. Fast forward to today, she's worth$1.3 million with assets worth up to$8 million. Now that's a massive increase in just six years, especially for someone on a$174,000 congressional salary. It's impressive, really. But how did she do it? Well, part of its property in 2024, Presley reported owning a Martha's Vineyard rental worth up to$5 million, as well as multiple Boston rentals worth up to$1 million each. Now, for context, back in 2019, she only reported owning one property in Boston. We're also learning days before Presley was sworn into Congress, her husband quit his$92,000 annual Boston City Hall job to start his own consulting firm called Conan Harris and Associates. And as we read more of the Congresswoman's financial disclosure reports, we learn that her husband also saw his income jump while he was in Washington. His client list consists of some government organizations, including one with deep ties to the Obama Foundation. But as he started his firm and seeked new clients, he faced ethics concerns because of Presley's job in Congress. Quote, as Harris's days dwindled in the city's Office of Public Safety, he used his city-issued email account to pitch Walsh's chief of staff on staying on as a consultant. City officials say they did not solicit nor accept the offer, and state ethics laws bar municipal employees from knowingly using official resources for personal gains. Now we asked Presley for comment, and we even invited her on. She did not answer. But Fox Business Anchor David Asman joins me now. He's been looking over this information. And David, there's nothing wrong with you know gaining financial resources. We see this a lot in Congress, but there are questions.
SPEAKER_24:Well, and and you go back to the 1930s, the last when when movies began, Mr. Smith goes to Washington. I mean, it's it's it's happened for a long time.
SPEAKER_10:Yeah, so we can it's happening. I mean, politicians are getting picked up, but pretty significant clip here. I mean, at a certain point, your national electors are gonna go, why do I have so many people in my district under indictment? These are people that I've done business with. You know what I mean? At a certain point, you're gonna hit real close to home. Uh that and this all stems down to not just general corruption. It's two two-tiered standard of justice, but it's built into the system. Some of these politicians are legally insider trading, right? Which allows them to have these really inflated net worths. How Ayanna Presley acquires multi-million dollar rental properties, even at the salary she's at is pretty impressive. It's probably because her net worth and her loan applications are backed up by insider trading stock.
SPEAKER_30:Because it's infinitely broken. We're greedy, we're crooked as a dog's leg, as we used to say in East Tennessee. The problem, you know, when you have a congressman making six, seven hundred percent return day in, day out, they don't need to be here in Washington, D.C. They need to be up on Wall Street advising all those big advisors, maybe the Fed, how to invest the money. Because obviously, look, we're in on meetings that go on behind the scenes. And in the latest legislation, you know, I proposed a bill, just said no stock trading. Do like I do. Have my buddy Tommy Siler manager, my$11,000 portfolio, which is a mutual fund. Put everything in a dadgum mutual fund. But what do they want to do? No, here's the latest idea they have, and it's the one that's capturing all the press right now, is that they're gonna, if you've got stock, say you have$100 million, which is not un uh unusual up here. There's some that do in the stock market, they get to keep it, but they can't uh that they can't buy anymore after that. It's sort of the drawbridge approach. And then what's gonna happen? The House will pass something, the Senate will pass something different, and they'll all be out drinking wine at Martha's Vineyard the next weekend laughing at us because it just isn't gonna work. This town is crooked, both parties are in on it, and they and it's a very small club. And guess what, America? You're not in on it.
SPEAKER_10:Well, that is a dour outlook, Tim. How rude. Yeah, how rude. So you're saying there's nothing we can do to fix the corruption? No.
SPEAKER_21:Okay. Well, I guess I guess we'll just continue here. We're as crooked as a dog's leg.
SPEAKER_10:You ain't fixing nothing. Okay. What do we got, Ron?

But over there we talk about how you can actually separate yourself from the financial matrix.
SPEAKER_21:Stuff that you can actually do.
SPEAKER_10:Yeah, how you can secure yourself from uh from the kind of kind of coming chaos and the coming storm. And it's very solution-oriented, things you can actually do, how to deal with the IRS, how to deal with court, all that kind of stuff. So check out 1776live.us every single Thursday at 4.30 p.m. Pacific time. I I or someone else does an ignite presentation introducing the community. Highly encourage you to go check it out at 1776live.us. The other thing we also do at 1776live.us is on Sunday evenings we do Liberty Lounge, which is about an hour-long live stream at 5 p.m. Pacific. And it's just an a la carte. We'd invite everybody to come on. If you've got your camera, we'll send you a link. You can turn on your camera, you can talk. And it's just a fun Liberty Lounge. Since last week we talked about getting engaged politically, going to your local Republican or even Democrat party and actually starting to make a difference. If you're upset about our elections because you feel like we only get to vote for whoever quote unquote they select, well, I teach you how to get on the selection committee, how to actually go get involved in the political party process so you can be one of the selectors for the elections. Okay, so someone that I have an a question mark in my mind that I have about certain politicians, and that is the how question. How did we get this politician? How in the world did this person win the popularity contest of a of a of an election? Okay. Now I understand you might have some functionaries, right? Maybe there's some really famous billionaire CEO that's proved his worth that's ugly or fat, right? A Tom Fritz girl, right? Oh, he's a billionaire. He's fat. All right, but you know, he's a billionaire as it kind of overcomes the fatness. Okay. There's there's always like something.
SPEAKER_21:A Frank.
SPEAKER_10:This particular politician, I can't quite figure out. Oh I don't know what Jaya Paul offers the people of Seattle. She's got a lazy eye. She can't look you in the eyes because she's looking two directions. I don't know what's going on here. This is one of those politicians that is right up there with Maxine Waters and some of these other ones where you're just Well, maybe when she opens her mouth, maybe she just has that, you know. Yeah, maybe maybe she's completely like coherent and everything makes sense. Like, let's listen to what she has to say. I mean, it's it's hard to get past the lazy eye. It's hard to kind of understand how this person garners so much respect, but here we go.
SPEAKER_00:Congresswoman, um, I hear you calling for dismantling, abolishing whatever verb you want to use. ICE. Presumably that's not going to happen uh in the next couple of weeks as these negotiations are going on. Republicans are not going to agree to that, and they still hold the majority in both houses. What are the specific reforms that you can demand or that you are demanding? What are the red lines now as a condition of passing these funding bills?
SPEAKER_32:Yeah, I think this is a really important. Really? You're right. We can't uh we can't completely do what we want to do without the majorities. But what we can do is insist that ICE and CBP get out of Minnesota and our cities across the country where they are terrorizing people.
SPEAKER_10:I'm terrorized just by trying to make eye contact. I can't quite square up what I'm looking at. I hate to be so derogatory about people's immutable characteristics. But honestly, ladies and gentlemen, some of these politicians, the more we learn about the election stuff, I look at them and I'm like, you're a mouth. Like you're a talking mouth. And not only that, you're a punchline to the people who probably put you into power. You know what I mean? Like, hey, let's let's throw Maxine Waters out there and see if we can, you know, put her in charge of the finance, the banking, banking committee. Really? You know what I mean? It's a bad joke at a certain point. And when you go look at the Epstein files, they do, they they're making fun of people, right? That's the thing. They're making fun of the Goyim the whole time. All right, guys, we have reached the end of our public broadcast today. We're gonna spend a little bit of time over in private. And before we go, I did wanted to show you guys that yes, it is true, the buses will be free. Whether you like it or not, whether it's policy or not, even the bus drivers know you gotta give away a free ride from time to time.
SPEAKER_18:Oh, excuse me, sir. I have a question. So I saw on the bus it said, uh, like, and I see the sign that says fares acquired. I thought the buses were supposed to be free now, because like Mandani just won. When does that start? That's never gonna start.
SPEAKER_19:Never gonna happen. I want to say I appreciate what you do, my guy. All right, have a good one, my guy. Listen, you are the heart and soul of the backbone of uh New York. Stay safe. Yes, sir. I'll vote for you. Have a good one.
SPEAKER_10:That's all it's gonna really take to win elections. I've been given free buses since before Mundami. Well, I'll vote for you in the next election. If there's any more evidence that the buses will be free, that's it right there. I really think we could replace some of these bull crap representatives. We could just go get some of the bus drivers. They already know everybody in their community, and they've already been given free bus fares, so you know they've got the bona feet. You know what I mean? I just think, like, are you telling me that bus driver wouldn't do a better job than Kamala Jayapala or whatever drops like name is? All right, folks, that's it for us. In the public, we will be talking in the private for a couple minutes. All right, we've got the unoffendables have stuck with us around. So, one of the things that's going on with these ice raids, I see this and I'm just like, ugh, it's very Machiavellian. Apparently, Department of Homeland Security is revoking THS pre-check and global entry for all individuals who have been impeding federal law enforcement in Minnesota. And they are now winning on whining on Reddit that it's a violation of their constitutional rights. Sorry, guys, but cutting the line at the airport is a privilege and can be revoked when you engage in domestic terrorism. Now, I feel zero amounts of sad for people who engage in lawless behavior and then lose their privileges. You know why? Because I lost my privileges and I took it like a man. You hear me bitch and whine about being on the no-fly list, but trust me, I'd rather have my pre-check TSA revoked than be on the actual quiet skies no fly.
SPEAKER_30:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.
SPEAKER_10:Oh, oh, I'm sorry, you have to go through the metal detector like everybody else. Oh, I'm sorry. Did they strip search you? Did they take apart your entire bag twice before getting on every plane? Did they stop the entire airplane and force all the ID themselves because they're flying? Did they tag a U.S. Marshal to follow you around the airport for hours on end? No. Stop, Taylor. Stop. I don't feel bad about this. But like I said earlier, I don't like the Machiavellian nature of this. Problem solution, problem solution. In sworn testimony in the current case of Minnesota versus Nome, the lawyer from Minnesota says that observers have had their global entry status revoked. I'm guessing that now that's now their standard procedure after they photograph you, like one agent in ME said about how you're now a domestic terrorist. Yikesy, yikesy, yikesy. That's not good at all. Now, one of the other things, updates on the agitators is the Department of Homeland Security is now going to start wearing body cameras.
SPEAKER_21:This is a big deal. Hold on, say that again. They're going to start wearing what? Body cameras. Body cameras. Body cameras.
SPEAKER_10:Body cameras.
SPEAKER_21:Okay.
SPEAKER_10:Okay. So this is really significant. When I was in the DC Department of Corrections, otherwise known as the DC Gulag. I thought they were already wearing body cameras. No. Oh no, let me explain this. Okay. So at the county and state level, almost universally around the country, whether it's in prisons or on the streets, law enforcement officers wear body cameras.
SPEAKER_11:Okay.
SPEAKER_10:And typically they'll have them on. Some law enforcement officers, depending on the position, are required to have them on 24-7. When I was in jail, I was in a protective custody block, and so they were required to have their body cameras on 24-7. So even if the guard was just in the middle of the night cruising at the desk, his body camera was on. The only time they were supposed to turn them off was in the staff use restroom, which apparently they would forget to do with so um became kind of gross. Yeah, is what it is.
SPEAKER_17:Yeah.
SPEAKER_10:Um, so, anyways, the the body cameras when I first got there, I was extremely uncomfortable. I don't like being on camera, which sounds odd for a guy who spends four or four hours a day steering into a camera, but I don't like being on the security camera stuff, right? I always feel like it's I I just don't like it. And so when I got to prison, I didn't like it at all. I'd stand to the side of the officers. I didn't like the at this point. Have you seen Purse of Interest? No, I haven't. No, I haven't. Okay. So I'm already nervous about it. Well, then I start to realize that the body cameras are there to protect me, right? Because the body cameras record my behavior. The guard's going to do what the guard's going to do, but they're used to being recorded, so they know how to, you know, say the right things or do the right things that they can write on and report later. So I figured that out. And I saw I started to, you know, not behave differently, but be very cognizant of the fact that I was on body camera. And I felt like it protected me. One time my room was getting shook down by two female officers, and I looked inside and their body cameras weren't flashing, right? When they're on, they have like a little flashing light. And I saw that they weren't on, and I said, Are you guys in my room without your body cameras on? And they had like their little clipboard and they were writing stuff down and they looked at each other and they turned on their body camera and then just put everything down and walked out of the room. Like it, like if I'd have challenged anything they found in there, the fact that I called them on it and then they turned on their camera, it was like, I would have won. And I watched multiple times where inmates won when there was a dispute between a guard and an inmate based on the body camera footage, right? Where they said, I didn't say that. And turns out on body camera they did not say the thing that the report said that they said, right? I've I have seen guards write things that are untrue on their little reports because they wrote it down before they reviewed their own body camera footage, right? Okay, I get to the feds, they're not wearing body cameras, and uh all of a sudden that's where you see the race riots and you see the guards getting into things, and it's like, whoa, where's the body cameras? Right? Like, I would be way more comfortable if these uh officers had body cameras. For one thing, it keeps them honest, and another thing, it keeps the whole well, it keeps everything honest, it keeps everything honest about what happened. Feds don't wear body cameras, it doesn't matter if you're a marshal, FBI agent, ATF, DEA, none of them wear body cameras, state and county do. So, to my knowledge, this is I know that the FBI did a pilot program for FBI detectives or whatever wearing body cameras. I don't think it went anywhere. And the reason, and you can talk to any any federal prison guard, well, we don't want to wear body cameras because then it would it would change our behavior. Yeah, like exactly, right? Because it's always one-sided against inmates or whoever. But what this does is it's gonna keep everybody honest. Donald Trump addresses this. I think it's a great move. I think if you have the ability to arrest somebody, you should or kill somebody, you should have body camera. I think that they should be universal. Like, I think if you discharge your firearm and your body camera's not on, it flips the presumption of immunity. You know what I'm saying? Like, well, if your body cameras are on, well, how do I know that you didn't cold-blooded kill them? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I think it's incredibly important.
SPEAKER_12:Just announced that you're deploying body cameras to Minneapolis. What's your thinking behind this decision? And do you want to see this?
SPEAKER_25:Well, it wasn't my decision. I would have, you know, I leave it to her. Uh they generally tend to be good for law enforcement because people can't lie about what's happening. So it's uh generally speaking, I think 80% good for law enforcement. But uh if she wants to do that, I'm okay with it. Remember one thing, we closed the border. We had a I got elected on a disastrous border, and we have nobody coming in through our border anymore. We had uh 25 million people come in in four years through our border. Many of them were murderers and drug dealers and mentally those uh mentally insane from mental institutions and insane asylums. Now we don't have anybody coming in. Nine months now. I mean, they actually report zero. We have zero people coming in, which I find hard to believe, but the Democrats do that report. They tend to be left-leaning that do that report. So I assume it's true. If it's not, it's a very tiny amount of people. But we basically have a tremendously perfect strong border. And also, crime levels are at the lowest point they've been in 125 years. Since 1900, we have the best numbers, and that's despite the fact that we had a lot of criminals and murderers. 11,888 murderers came in. And we have the lowest numbers that we've had in 125 years. So, you know, so we uh we're doing a good job. If she wants to do the camera thing, that's okay with me.
SPEAKER_10:I'm doing the weave. I'm doing the weave. We throw some stuff in there about border security. Yeah, cameras are fine. Another interesting tidbit, and we don't need to listen to all of this, but Alberta separatist lawyer Jeff Rath confirms he has been meeting with high-level Trump cabinet officials on recognizing Alberta as a sovereign state. So apparently they got it all worked out. If Alberta succeeds, boom, they're gonna be recognized as a sovereign, a sovereign country by the United States. I am I am very interested in this. I feel like this is a one-two punch. The Greenland-Alberta thing, it's really going to chop what he calls the communist globalist Canadians. It's gonna just decimate their ability to grift and graft. From what it sounds like, from what I can tell, is basically Alberta feeds everybody, uh, provides energy for everybody, but gets none of the upside. None of the upside. It doesn't get the movie industry out of Toronto or Vancouver, it doesn't get the banking, it doesn't get any of the upside, but it's it's completely just selling its wheat and selling its oil domestically, and they're just kind of pigeonholed into being, you know.
SPEAKER_21:It's the Midwest for California.
SPEAKER_10:It's the Midwest for California. They hold all the cards, but they don't deal the deck.
SPEAKER_21:Right.
SPEAKER_10:So all right, guys, that's it for us today. We will talk to you guys again tomorrow. Bye-bound.
SPEAKER_31:What night lift in that car to everyone? I'm 37. What? I'm 37, I'm not old. But I can't just call you ma'am. You could say dentist. I didn't know you were called Dennis. You're supposed to find out, didn't you? I did say sorry about the old woman, but from behind, you know, dangerous. You automatically treat me as an experience. Well I am old experience. How did you get that? I am carrying the caliber. That is why you're gonna listen. Supreme executive power derives from mandate from the message, not from some classical as a wedding ceremony. But you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some water is hard for a sword is all around. Just because some voice and being put in a woman, we trust now we can't.
