How A “Voluntary” Tax System, NCAA Payouts, And Secret Files Collide Into A Fight Over Power

Start with a sip and a jolt of honesty. We pull a thread from college sports money and “voluntary” taxes to immigration incentives, voter rolls, and the difference between collecting voters and collecting ballots. Then we widen the lens: airports jammed, IDs in question, and a weekend of flight incidents that reveal just how thin our security layer can be when systems are designed for convenience over control. The tension climbs as we tackle Islamism versus civic order, holding to a simple test—judge doctrines by deeds and apply one legal standard without fear or favor.

From there we go global. Venezuela pivots from pariah to partner as gold and critical minerals move, and energy leverage reshapes negotiations. Iran’s launchers, navy, and air defenses take heavy losses; Gulf states recalibrate; tankers start to edge through the Strait of Hormuz with new insurance backstops. Russia reads the board, India gets oil options, and the market steadies. The argument is blunt: time‑boxed, objective‑driven force paired with economic openings creates option space and deters chaos without nation‑building.

Finance and secrecy bind the domestic and foreign threads together. We call out spoofed metals markets, the case for crypto clarity, and why transparent ledgers attract capital tired of manipulation. Epstein anomalies resurface, interest spikes and fades, and the FBI’s “prohibited access” files hint at an architecture where misconduct hides behind labels and oral tradition. Add state‑level power grabs that bypass warrants, and you get a system optimized for control rather than trust.

We end where legitimacy begins: with rules that align incentives to reality. Whether it’s a sane NIL framework, voter verification that proves citizenship and requires ID, or crypto market structure that welcomes capital without gamesmanship, the fix is the same—make the right path the easiest path. If that hits a nerve or sparks a question, hit play, share your take, and tell us where reform should start. Subscribe, rate, and leave a review so more curious listeners can find the show.

Cold Open And “Peasants” Theme

SPEAKER_49 0:09

And then they went for the green to the gun drink and the bread. Do you know what's meant?

SPEAKER_28 0:24

Every time we should be screwed. The revolution's gonna be podcasting for sure. It's a little bit. It's a little gun. It's gonna be 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. Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. This came fast. That intro happened way too fast. I thought I'd have like another five minutes, and then all of a sudden the alarm went off and it was like, hit it! Shantini, good morning! You made it first. Amazing. Charlitz, good morning. Verazer, good morning. There's no pony boy.

SPEAKER_41 1:20

Holy cow.

SPEAKER_28 1:21

They all beat you to the punch, man.

SPEAKER_41 1:23

We need to send somebody out to find him. Oh no, where's Pony Boy?

Simultaneous Sip And Voluntary Taxes

SPEAKER_28 1:29

Okay, so I know why everybody's here. You guys are here for the sa. You guys are here for the simultaneous sip. And all you need is a cup or a mug, a glass, a tankard, a chalice of stein, a canteen, a jugger flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip. And it starts right now.

SPEAKER_02 1:56

As you we all know, that uh our U.S. tax system is a voluntary tax system, and we depend on people willing every year to sit down, fill out that form, and pay their appropriate amount of taxes. So I really think enforcement is a reward to those who voluntarily comply.

NCAA Pay, Transfers, And Policy Void

SPEAKER_28 2:12

And I think Oh, now we understand what it's all about. And that is gonna play into today's episode, ladies and gentlemen. We have a voluntary system of paying, but you better pay. All right, Mariso, hello, son. Welcome, welcome, Carlito and Tiffany. Good morning, good morning, Ron. All right, you guys. So last week, Donald Trump sat down with a panel and he was dealing with uh sports, NCAA sports and paying players. And a couple years ago, the Supreme Court said college players could get paid. Oh, and now there's a lot of college players that don't want to move on to the NFL or go get a real job because they make millions of dollars playing football in college, more than they would make if they didn't make the starting team on an NFL team, right? Yeah, and so this caused all kinds of issues. They can transfer schools. Now college players are chasing contracts instead of trying to get an education. And you know, the compromise here would have been like give every college athlete a full ride. And like if you make the team, college is free and you get a stipend. No, we're not gonna give them 60 grand a year to get by and have a great college experience. No, we're gonna pay some college football players and basketball players millions and millions of dollars a year. Pretty crazy, right? Could you imagine going to college and having people on the football and basketball team making millions of dollars? Um, no. No, no, it's incomprehensible, really. Anyways, so they sat down to deal with this, and a lot of people said, Trump, why are you dealing this with you? We got a war in Iran, you're apparently running Venezuela, you know, you're trying to deport illegal immigrants, you've got a billion things going on. And Ron DeSantis said it best. He just said, straight up, Trump, you are not taking your foot off the pedal for anything.

SPEAKER_22 3:56

Well, thank you, Mr. President, for doing this. I mean, you have uh pedal to the metal on so many different issues, um, from national security to border to energy, and you're not taking the pedal off any of that. And you could be forgiven to say college sports is important, but your plates full, and you've just added it to all the other things that you're doing. And I thank you for that because this would not get done without your leadership. You no one else could get this group together, no one else could work with Congress to be able to do it. Um, and so I appreciate it because it is important to a lot of people. I mean, we know this is out of whack. Uh, we went from a system where you couldn't give a student athlete anything, they could sell your jersey, you get nothing, to now quarterback throws for 300 yards and they go see the coach. Hey, I need more money. Give me more money from the club. Okay, I'll transfer. Well, thank you, Ms.

Judge Lamberth, J6, And VOA Firings

SPEAKER_28 4:43

Exactly. We went from, you know, starving student football players to like, hey, I had a good game today, I want to raise. Notre Dame's paying more. And what's happened is you know, the concentration of talent has gone to the teams that are willing to pay. So, one of the other things that happened this last over the weekend, really, was Judge Lambert. Do you remember him? Judge Lambert? A little bit about him. Cary Lake says, Judge Lambert, who slept through J6 defendants' trials, then woke up and threw them in prison for absurdly long sentences, can confirm. And also ruled that violent male convicts who claimed they were trans should be housed in women's trip prisons, can confirm. Happened right after Trump was elected. Sick and dumb. What he did was he got rid of Kerry Lake fired a bunch of people at the United States Voice of America, right? And Voice of America is our propaganda arm that we push out stuff into China and Asia and Europe, right? It's it's uh Radio America. And unfortunately, Radio America was taken over by communists. And uh even, you know, I mean, they would report negatively against the US government regularly. It was kind of like, hey, you're supposed to like talk us up, and they would like talk us down. It was like, you know, NPR on steroids. And so Kerry Lake ended up firing a whole bunch of people. And all along the way, every time a judge says, you can't fire executive branch members, if you work for the executive branch, your job is 100 dependent, 100% dependent on the president, right? He he has exclusive uh delegatory authority over that, so he can remove that authority, and so when a secretary, cabinet secretary fires you on authority of the president, you'll fire. But the legislature over the years has provided all these protections and unions and stuff like that to try to prevent, you know, wholesale cleaning out of the bureaucracy. So Judge Lambert has thrown his hand in with the anti-America crowd. I have no other way to describe this, and he ruled against firing all these propagandists. Obviously, this is going to go to appeals court, it'll go to the Supreme Court, they will uphold the firing of these people. But again, Lambert did this. So, not a lot of you guys have gotten to see Judge Lambert. So I got this cute little video just to show who he is. Now, why does it matter to me? This was my judge. This is the guy who sentenced me to prison. One of those absurdly long sentences. And if you follow me on X, Gone Four, the number four months at Gone Four Months, or you can just look up TJ6, you'll see me there. And uh I posted, I posted this, but I ended up getting a whole bunch of likes. Like every now and then I'll put a post or a reply to a comment and it goes viral. I get thousands of views and hundreds of likes all weekend long. I'm getting notifications people like when I post. Julie Kelly mentioned that the last time she was in Judge Lambert's courtroom, she was he was berating a J6 defendant saying you're gonna go to jail for a long time. And uh ultimately that was me. Yeah, before trial. So that that apparently is you know another one of these things that Judge Lambert can put on his shelf of awards is berating a J6 defendant before trial, telling him he's gonna go to prison. That was me. So this is Judge Lambert, everybody.

SPEAKER_18 7:48

Will you like feeble?

SPEAKER_28 7:55

Will you love it? The walker just kills me. That's it, that's the face right there. You'll go into prison. That's the courtroom. That's the courtroom right there. That's it.

SPEAKER_42 8:19

Will you love and you do today?

1984 Map, Immigration, And Electoral Math

SPEAKER_28 8:32

That's the man, old Judge Lambert. I'm pretty sure I recognize a few of those ties. He recycles them. Anyways, it was I thought it would be fun for the audience to see the man, Judge Lambert himself. That's who he is. Uh, he he was a Carter appointee. He was a Carter judge. And during the Reagan administration, he actually thought he was gonna stop being a judge during the Reagan administration because he was a big muckety muck, you know, up and comer in the Carter administration, and the Reagan administration was anti-Carter. It would be like, you know, Trump and Biden. Like, I'm not appointing anybody that was in Biden's circles, right? But what Ray, what Lambert did was he busted the air traffic controller union when they had their strike and got him and put him back to work. And so Reagan rewarded him with a district a lifetime tenure, district court judgeship in DC. So he a lot of people were like, oh, he's a Reagan appointee. Kind of. Like, not really. He's a Carter appointee that got rewarded by Reagan because he helped Reagan out politically, right? Right before some midterms. He busted a strike. So again, just goes to show you not always what it seems to be. Matt Boyle uh was on with Joe Rogan, and then I can't remember this other gentleman's name. And they were talking about a moment in time reaching back to the Reagan administration, a moment in time where the Democrats realize their goose was cooked. Okay. Liberalism in America had no place. Collectivism, no place. This is like towards the end of the Cold War. This is uh, I think Chernobyl had happened or just started to happen at this point. And the Democrats looked at the electoral map during Reagan's massive re-election victory, right? Where he won every state except for which one? Oh shoot. You're gonna Minnesota. Okay, every state except for Minnesota. And it's almost because he didn't try to win the state, because that was the state where I think Dukakis was from, right? So they talk about that was the turning point where the Democrats realized the only way they were going to claw back power. Because what's the point of a political party? What is its only purpose?

SPEAKER_41 10:34

Aggregate power.

SPEAKER_28 10:36

Aggregate power to get power. It's not for any other reason, it's not for you, the citizens, it's not to push good policy, it's not to make your life better, it's to accumulate power. That's it. That's its only purpose. That's its only that it has no other reason than that.

SPEAKER_41 10:54

Don't fool yourselves.

SPEAKER_28 10:55

Yeah, Carlita says we're still waiting for Trump to make housing affordable again. He's working on it.

SPEAKER_14 11:00

All right. I want to show you this right here, everybody. Because to me, receipts matter. This is the this is the congressional map from 1984. Okay? This is what happened when Reagan just wiped clean Mondale and literally I think this is the greatest win of a Republican in the history of America. Nobody has ever come close to how much Reagan won. You want to know what happened after this election in the prior elections? You want to know why the Democrats love the illegals so much? When you look at the past unauthorization of illegals coming into America, here is a chart of the elections. Unestimated unauthorized population. This is the illegals in the United States from 1960 to the 1970s. It was 1.2 million. In the 1980s, it jumped up to 2.2 to 3.5 million. Reagan wins in 1984, wins the next presidential election. Well, 1988. What happens after check this out from 1990 to 2007, an exponential increase because they knew they could never let it happen again of losing so bad where every single, almost every single state, besides what? Two went for Reagan. And look at this, ever since from 1990 to 2007, how do you go from one decade to the next of two to three and a half million to three and a half to 12.2 million to 10.5 to 11 million, to 11 million to 13.4 million. This was just in Biden's because they know that's how they win. They get their congressional seats, they get their federal funding, they get the NGOs, they get the illegals coming in, they give them amnesty, and that's how they win their elections. It's not coincidence that this happened. Look at this. When after Reagan won as big as he did. So when we show you these receipts of how important it is to the Democrats that illegals are here, the facts speak for themselves, everybody. You cannot deny this. It's not coincidental. When this happened, they knew that without a shadow of a doubt, they had to get more people in here and they had to buy their votes with taxpayer benefits, SNAP, Medicaid, housing, anything that they could give them, and that's exactly what they did.

SPEAKER_28 13:41

That's exactly what they did. So this weekend there was a whole slew of prosecutions announced for illegal immigrants who have voted in our elections. Excuse me. Let's go ahead and play this here. This is a news clip. One of these particular illegal aliens was uh listed here. She's lived in America for 20 years illegally. 20 years, Ron. 20 years, yeah, casting fraudulent ballots the whole time. She stole$259,589 in Section 8 rental assistance benefits. She stole$101,000 in Social Security disability payments. She stole$43,348 in SNAP food stamp benefits. She stole an American's identity, a total of roughly$400,000 in federal benefits stole from taxpayers in just this one illegal act.

SPEAKER_12 14:35

Heated battle over voter ID heating up on Capitol Hill. A jury just convicted a woman in Massachusetts of voter fraud. Prosecutors say that she also stole more than$400,000 in federal benefits. White House correspondent Aisha Hasby reports live from the North Lawn. Hi, Aisha.

SPEAKER_01 14:55

Hey there, Martha. We're talking about a 59-year-old illegal immigrant who's been in the country for years, stole someone else's identity, and then voted in the 2024 presidential election. Take a look at this photo here. This is Lena Maria Arovio Hernandez. In this picture, you can see her, Martha, wearing that I voted sticker that we all get when we go to cast our ballots. She's also convicted of stealing$400,000, as you mentioned, in benefits. She apparently used her fake identity to obtain multiple state IDs and also a passport. So the president this morning multiple state IDs and a passport.

SPEAKER_28 15:33

Now, just last week we covered how we found out in Washington for six years they just had the driver's license system wide open. You could just go on and order driver's license, and they'd send 70 to 150 to one apartment.

unknown 15:47

One apartment.

SPEAKER_28 15:48

And they saw it. They were like, this seems odd. Just send them back.

SPEAKER_41 15:52

Well, I thought it just fit. It was like vote early enough, and vote early and often.

Voter Fraud Cases And ID Loopholes

SPEAKER_28 15:56

Yeah. So there was another one in Pennsylvania, there's another one in Florida, a couple in Texas. I mean, we're constantly getting a trickle of the individuals who voted. They're hard to track. I mean, you know, the whole point of a blind ballot is you're not supposed to know who voted, right? But good gravy, how is that happening? And we find out what happens, and and this is something I really want people to internalize and understand. We, and we've been called legacy Americans, right? People who were born here and kind of raised here and you know, subject to the anti-litter campaign. So we don't litter and we're not going to be able to do it. You know, we pay our taxes even though it's voluntary, and then we want other people to pay taxes because we did. So we want the government to enforce it on them, even though you didn't have to pay yourself. They literally say the word voluntary, okay? Like it's voluntary. So look at this. Uh Brianna Morello broke, uh, she said flashback to this. Every wonder how TSA was allowing illegal immigrants to board commercial flights without IDs under the Biden regime. It's kind of hard to get on an airplane now. They're supposed to do like real ID, the whole thing, right? It's like, how are they doing this? Well, it turns out she sued the TSA to find out. And what they were doing is predators were allowed to enter, oh, Biden's DHS allowed convicted sex offenders on flights by showing their sex offender paperwork. Yeah. That was an acceptable form of identification. Predators were allowed into the country if they promised to take sexual deviancy counseling and register as a sex offender. Isn't that awesome? Amazing, right? After suing TSA I won, now the agency is covering my legal fees. Currently, the TSA is they says they can't pay my laurel right down due to the shutdown. That is stunning. Here's the uh paperwork for that if you want to see it. Anyways, really, it's another one of those good gravy cards here. Now, I also want to show you this here, too, because again, Americans, we're retarded. Okay. Plain and simple. Obviously. Okay, we're retarded. So, here, right here, I dealt with this this weekend with some of the members of 1776 Live. And one of the things we do over there is we get people to read, read your contracts, read the things you're signing. And so someone was getting filling out job applications, and they had to fill out I9s and they get handed a W4. And there's alternatives, you don't have to do the W4 and stuff like that. Okay, but people don't read. So I show them here. They were talking about the I-9 because one of the tax forms that they turned in was rejected, and they said, Well, on your I9, you check the box saying that you're a US citizen. And it was kind of a misunderstanding. So let me show you this here. So this is the I-9, page one, name, first name, middle, other name, last, address, uh, state zip code, date of birth. Pretty simple, right? Yeah. So then it has a box for are you a citizen of the United States? Okay. Then it has a non-citizen national of the United States. Do you know what a non-citizen national is? I don't. That's an Amish person. Okay. Okay. It's all it is is someone who was born in America, a legacy American that has the birthright. Okay. You have the right to be a citizen. But the United States is a corporation. So they define the word citizen differently for different scenarios. So when you get a Social Security number and you become a taxpayer, you become a citizen taxpayer. When you register for the draft, you are basically subscribing to the corporation and all of its foreign wars. Okay. An Amish person doesn't do such things. They don't fill out birth certificates, they don't fill out enumeration cards to become members of the Social Security. So they are a non-citizen national of the United States. You are a non-citizen national of the United States. And then your parents volunteered to make you a citizen. Okay. Now they just updated this form to clarify this because it used to say a alien. And the reason is that, and I'll show you here in a second, is because you're alien to the District of Columbia. But it opened the door. The way they phrased it opened the door to let illegal aliens apply under this category. Okay. So they had to update this form. And then a lawful permanent resident, this is what an immigrant would fill out with work authorization, right? But instead they would fall under this pseudo-Amish category. And then you have an alien authorized work. Okay, great. It asks for your social security number. People have seen this form. Now, if you have a passport, that's the only ID you need. You've got a couple other options, but look here. If you don't have a passport, then you can do a driver's license. Well, how hard is it to get a driver's license in Washington State or Illinois or to just steal one on the black market?

SPEAKER_41 20:25

It's practically audible.

SPEAKER_28 20:26

It's pretty easy. What about a social security card? How hard are those to get? Well, Elon Musk Must says they're really easy to get. And if your last name is Rodriguez, there's lots of options, right? I've seen this. The stolen ID cards, the stolen social security cards. So all you got to provide is one of the two. And then there's some other options here, like, you know, a uh a school report card. Oh, how hard is it to enroll in school? Not very hard. A clinic doctor or hospital record, how hard is it to generate that for ID, Ron? Not very hard. Do you see where this is going? It's way too easy to qualify. But we, as American citizens, we're like, oh my gosh, you know, I've got to provide all this information. Turns out you don't. So let's look at this. And this is where it got kind of funny when I was showing this to uh the students. I was like, see, these are this is the instructions for the I-9, right? So these are the instructions. Now they don't hand you the instructions when they hand you the I-9. You'd have to go look this up. You know, see instructions. So let's come down here, and this is gonna make you kind of laugh. Okay. So All right, I'm ready. Let me find the right spot here. Uh says entering employee information here. I want to make sure I get it at this spot. Where'd it go? Where to go?

unknown 21:42

Where'd it go?

I‑9 Forms, “Non‑Citizen National,” And Documentation Gaps

SPEAKER_28 21:44

Okay, so enter your full name, last name. Okay, and then it says enter your full legal name, middle initial, address, city, town, apartment, zip code, date of birth. All right, social security number. Now we just assume if you have one, you provide it. Nope, providing the nine. District Social Security number on your I9. What is that word right there, Ron?

SPEAKER_41 22:03

I can't read that, Small.

SPEAKER_28 22:05

Voluntary.

SPEAKER_41 22:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_28 22:06

You do not need to provide your social security number to work. It says right on here, voluntary. It's voluntary. Okay. Okay. And then it comes down here and it explains non-citizen of the United States, an individual born in American Small, former citizens of the former territory, the Pacific Islands, and certain children of non-citizen nationals born abroad. Now, you have to understand, you go look up abroad by their definition, it's just not the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, or one of these other places, right? So if you're born in Michigan, you are a national of Michigan and by default, the Union of the United States, and you are born abroad from the District of Columbia, which is where this Department of Homeland Security is housed. So that's Amish people. That's why it's children of non-citizen nationals born abroad, as in, you know, everybody that's not a de facto resident of DC. Again, we don't understand this stuff because our goodness, our our virtue gets weaponized. Last week we also covered that little story where the House of Representative member wanted to create a study on the benefits of shoplifting. This was one of his fellow representatives that heard that and was like, how absurd. So she's in her house, the Michigan House, and she's talking about this. Like he wants to commission a study on shoplifting. You guys, it's as it's as ridiculous as illegal immigrants working. It's like on its face. On its face, it's wrong, but you know, I mean, you know, we need power, but we can't disenfranchise all of our shoplifting voters.

SPEAKER_29 23:36

Hey, Minnesota State Representative Krista Knutson. So today in the labor committee, Representative Dave Pinto requested a study for the benefits of shoplifting.

SPEAKER_30 23:50

Um there are no benefits to shoplifting for the people that are being shoplifted from. I have no idea what else to say. Um I'm shocked, actually.

SPEAKER_42 24:06

Expanding my head.

SPEAKER_30 24:13

I don't know what to say.

SPEAKER_28 24:15

Who benefits from shoplifting? Who benefits from letting sex offenders use their sex registration as ID to get on a plane? Who benefits from having dead people on the Social Security rolls and man? Who benefits? The criminals.

SPEAKER_29 24:31

Once again, the criminals benefit from shoplifting. Please take a look at the comments to see for yourself.

SPEAKER_24 24:37

It is an intriguing line of questions. Several of us are on the public safety committee, and yesterday there was a presentation of a group um uh seeking to uh change how we address organized retail theft. And it actually had not occurred to me to ask, it probably would have been good, um, to make sure that they would study sort of the benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft. Had occurred to relying on that and sort of using that, maybe it's you know assisting them in some way. Um, I mean, this these folks were describing people violating the law, um, but it I suppose it could be useful to look into that, but ultimately it's a policy question, right? We do want to make sure when we have a law in place we're we're enforcing it.

SPEAKER_40 25:11

So had it ever occurred to you, Taylor, the benefits consider the benefits of shop.

SPEAKER_28 25:18

You know, the the opener was the vault, this tax system is voluntary. We rely on people voluntarily clicking that box that says they're a citizen and not a national, their birthright, right? Which would make you, by the way, tax exempt. Okay. We vol and we want to enforce it because it rewards the people who voluntarily pay that didn't have to pay otherwise. So, you know, we want to punish the people who think it's not okay to these people are stupid. Here's how Kim Jeffries making it very clear, very clear to the people who are trying to victimize their constituency. Okay, if you're trying to deport illegal immigrants or prevent them from working, or as he calls brutalize them, we're coming for you.

SPEAKER_52 26:01

So every single one of these people who we see brutalizing the American people, they're going to be held accountable one way or the other, according to the law. And the statute of limitations, this is for every single member of the Trump administration, is five years. Donald Trump will be long gone, left 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Statute of limitations will be alive and well, and there'll be a lot of people in this country, patriotic people, determined to make sure those who broke the law with impunity during the Trump administration are held accountable.

SPEAKER_28 26:45

Now, the only way they can accomplish that, and trust me, they will. Okay, a bit on the receiving end of that ugly stick, and they will punish you. Judge Lambert will be your tool. He calls it his sacred duty. Chuck Schumer said this week in a speech, he said, Chuck Schumer warns that if the Save America Act passes, it would remove 20 million voters from voter rolls. Remember when they lost in '84 and they were like, whoa, we're gonna have to make Minnesota our stronghold now. They started bringing in Somolys to make sure they didn't lose Minnesota. Okay, and then they start bringing them all over the country. They're talking about defending 20 million illegals that they know are voting. They know that they need those 20 million votes. If they lose those 20 million people, this is why they're fighting so hard, so hard to prevent the Save America Act and obstruct at every possible step. It's this right here. 20 million voters are on voter rolls that they know, they know those are illegal votes. And they've set up the system to where you and I, when we fill out an I-9, we think it protects us and makes it so only it legals can work. The truth is, it's a meaningless form, it's meaningless. All you need is your name, date of birth, address. You don't have to put a social, and the ID you have to provide is nebulous, a school ID card, a utility bill. It's like nothing.

SPEAKER_41 28:10

Well, can you remind us what the intention of the form is?

SPEAKER_28 28:13

I mean to make it so only legals could vote, and legals could work.

SPEAKER_41 28:19

So why are we filling this out when we have 20 million on the rolls?

Shoplifting “Benefits” And Policy Absurdities

SPEAKER_28 28:24

It's they want control, they don't want to actually affect a good policy. I mean, it's it's stunning. Now, here's the thing part of the challenge we have now is Islam has made it here. So it's one thing when we have Catholic migrants coming from Mexico or Honduras and they want to come pick almonds and strawberries. And you know, I I'm personally like I think Hispanics get kind of a bad rap in all this because they are they're part of this continent, they're coming here to work. A lot of times they're going back and forth. I get it. But when you're Islam and you're coming here, it's very not the same. You know what I mean? There's other places where you could find opportunity that are a lot closer to home. And so they are the ones that typically intentionally manipulate the system. I think Hispanics come here and for the most part, they just try to work hard. They just want a few bucks. I really believe that. I, you know, having worked with them over the years in the trades, they're they really are working hard. And I don't believe the vast majority of the Hispanics are taking massive advantage of the welfare state. Maybe now, like maybe in the last 10 years, they've been given those opportunities, those doors have been opened. But previously, I mean, they were just the lower class that was working really hard labor jobs. Yeah, okay. Now, uh Terrence, what's his name? Terence Howard, he's an actor. He was on the PBD podcast, and he's he used to be Muslim, and he since left the Muslim face, and he tells this incredible story about why he left. Okay. This is this is the thing, okay. Islam in our society is not compatible, it has its own thing going on, and it has its own judicial process, it has its own extortion racket amongst its own members. There's another video I'm not going to play about a young woman who tried to leave Islam and her family put a hit out on her because they, you know, when you leave Islam, you got three days or you're dead. And, anyways, she had to involve the police, and the police's response was, Well, why don't you convert back to Islam? Oh, you know, and then he and then she's like, Well, I don't want to because I I found my faith and Christian, blah, blah, blah. And he's like, Well, we can arrest your dad. She's like, Do we have to go that far? And it was like, kind of, you know, it's like, okay. Yeah. So Terrence, Terrence William tells this really horrible story here as to why he left, but this is what's happening, right, in your neighborhoods. This is what's happening. This is the fastest going growing religion in this country. It's spreading in the prisons. I call it Prislam. It's spreading in the prisons. People come out of the prison, they're disenfranchised by the system, and Islam makes them a victim and it puts them in a position to fight the oppressor. It's that jihad thing going on, right?

SPEAKER_44 31:03

Did you ever become a Muslim yourself? Yes, my name was Salaiman. You know. Practiced Salat, did all of that. For how long? Up until I was 13.

SPEAKER_46 31:12

Up until 13, you're Muslim. And then how did you walk away from it?

TSA IDs, Security Failures, And Airport Incidents

SPEAKER_44 31:17

I've talked about this before, but there was a day I came home, and all of the brothers from the masjid was over at the house, and there was this this brother, um Yaqub, you know, very kind, uh loved his scent, loved his nature. But apparently he had castrated uh Wino, a homeless person, for urinating on the masjid. He castrated him?

SPEAKER_46 31:45

Castrated him. And he's sharing the story with you. He's a big thing.

SPEAKER_44 31:54

Because Ya'coob has been arrested and they're talking about that. And he they were sitting the argument was, the conversation was, um, well, he shouldn't have, you know, defec, you know, um he shouldn't have castrated. Well, he shouldn't have uh what is the term? Desecrate. That was it. He shouldn't have desecrated the Holy Temple by urinating on the mosque. That was what they were talking about. They weren't talking about the fact that this young man or older gentleman was also a child of God that may have been lost. And I was like, that it was so severe. You're overhearing this conversation? Yes. Or you're I'm sitting now, I'm in the stairs and they're in the living room. So you're not part of the conversation the 13 men are having. I'm just listening. Got it. And it could have been 12, but it felt like uh you know, all the seats were taken up. And so at that moment, I started questioning Islam in that regard, because uh a god of love, and I couldn't see that happening.

SPEAKER_28 33:07

Did you ever a god of love that says, Oh, since you peed on my mosque, we have to chop your po off, right? That's stunning. And the guy who got arrested, and they were not going, oh well, maybe we shouldn't have castrated him. Instead, they were like, We shouldn't have desecrated our mosque.

SPEAKER_41 33:21

Right, justification.

SPEAKER_28 33:23

Can we live in a world like that? I know, like for me, growing up Mormon, when our church got vandalized, we called the cops and just had them arrest the people. We didn't go and raise a posse and go deal with it ourselves. You know what I mean? Now, this weekend there was some major disruptions in travel around the United States. So, this is a picture from uh Tennessee. This was airports because DHS, which is TSA is part of, they don't have funding from Congress right now. They're in a DHS shutdown. And so the security lines were astronomical and people were missing flights. It was just horrible. But it was compounded by the fact that we had uh multiple terror events on flights. So here's a flight that was en route. I think it was going to um it was heading from Nashville to Fort Lauderdale and had to divert to Atlanta. Why?

SPEAKER_49 34:16

Flight above landing!

SPEAKER_42 34:21

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_28 34:27

How would you like that flight? I'm just trying to head down to see my kids in Florida coming from uh Nashville and I bar. Would that be fun? Would that be great? No, right? And it's like, okay. Well, here's the moment when they landed in Atlanta and the guy was subdued by people on the plane. Oh. And finally, when they landed in Atlanta, in in come the marshals. They're yelling, hands up, hands up. These are just passengers, Ron. This is you and me.

SPEAKER_41 34:56

Yep. That's the procedure.

SPEAKER_28 35:00

And then here come the I remember in prison when these guys would come into the cells, man, dressed just like that, but black. Yep. They're ready to roll. They fought this man out of there and call him out. Can you believe that? Just a flight, just coming out of Nashville. Is that the same guy? Same guy. No, different guy. Totally different guy. That's a different guy. Totally different guy. Okay, totally different guy. And then on top of that, the Kansas City Airport, which is one of the busiest airports in the country. A reported bomb threat at Kansas City International Airport causes evacuations and a ground stop. Bomb sniffing dogs and police are now conducting searches. They completely, entirely evacuated the entire Kansas City Airport.

SPEAKER_40 35:50

Oh, geez. Wow.

SPEAKER_28 35:55

It's not Trend Agua.

SPEAKER_41 36:00

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_28 36:01

Now here's the thing. Again, is this our new normal? We have to be conscientious of this. And despite what Tucker Carlson says, this is not a matter of like, hey, we're prejudiced against religion. Listen, I don't care. I don't care. But I can judge you by your deeds. And when you stand up on an airplane and say you hate Trump and Allah Akbar, and there's a bomb, you know what I mean? I'm judging you by your deeds. And so your faith, what you've got going on, your belief system isn't leading you to love every child of God. It isn't leading you to be introspective on yourself. It's leading you to say, I'm gonna take over this place. This is a bomb in California. This isn't Iran, this isn't Saudi Arabia, some Wahhabiism, this isn't Hamas or Hezbollah. This is California.

SPEAKER_49 36:47

California wants to put a Muslim ban. He wants to ban Muslims. We will tell him this is in your country to ban. This is the land of Allah. Every land is a land of Allah. And there are Muslims here that are here, that are gonna be here. And if you don't like it, I would suggest he go somewhere else. But I don't know where he's gonna go. If he goes back to Europe, a lot of Muslims in Europe have been there recently. You go to Africa, you go to South America, you go to China, you go to Malaysia, you go to Japan, you go to the Antarctic. There's Muslims. So I would make a suggestion. If he wants to go somewhere where there is no Muslims, I suggest he goes to hell. That our Prophet has given us the glad tidings that this religion of Islam will enter every household. Every household. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in the Sahih hadith told us this ummah, the guarantee, this ummah who will be victorious, and those that try to overcome them will not be able to.

SPEAKER_28 38:04

We are indomitable, we are a force because you can't leave, right? Once once they get a majority, you either convert or you die. And this is just history. This isn't some kind of pejorative thing or bigotry or anything. It's just like I can only judge you by your actions. I mean, if it was like, you know, Middle Ages and you were a crusader marching east to Jerusalem with a big cross on your chest and be like, you're coming to kill us, aren't you? You know what I mean? It's like obvious. I'm not being mean, I'm just stating the obvious. You're in California saying we're coming into every house, and meanwhile, the people that are listening to your preaching are on airplanes saying there's bombs shutting down the Kansas City airport, and on and on we go.

SPEAKER_41 38:41

You know, when uh pre-show, when I heard that clip, I didn't see it. I heard you playing it. I thought for sure that was Mandami.

SPEAKER_28 38:50

Did you?

SPEAKER_41 38:51

Yeah, yeah. It sounded just like him.

SPEAKER_28 38:54

Mandami's wife and the stuff that people are finding on her Twitter account. Remember the Zoomer Waffins that I flew with? And the one girl next to me was Jewish. And she's like, I love Mandami, and his wife is so sweet. And and then she was talking about how the October 7th attack and how Hamas and it can't coexist and the Palestinian problem. And I'm like, Mandami's wife liked the post and praised the assault on Israel on October 7th. You're ignorant. Yeah, you don't know. We're only as good as the information we have, right? Judge Lamberth, you know that propaganda stuff that you're letting a voice of America and whatever push out there that hates Trump, they're in bed with these guys, right? They're in bed with these guys. And the whole Democrat Party is in bed with them. I don't know what the number is, it's millions upon millions of Muslims in America. And you have to understand something. When Christians were leaving Europe and immigrating here, it says right in the Declaration of Independence, they reminded the king of the nature of their immigration. What was the nature of their immigration? They were leaving the religions of Europe because they were either too fundamentalist or they didn't believe, you know, you were Protestant in a Catholic country, or you were Catholic in a Protestant country, or you were an extreme Protestant like the Quakers or some version, you were too extreme for Europe. So you left. So when Trump says they're not sending their brightest, if you're a moderate Muslim and you're in the UAE, or you're in Qatar, or you're in Saudi Arabia, you get along just fine. Who wants to leave those societies? The ones that say to themselves, Saudi Arabia's lost their way. They've become too modern. I'm getting out of here. Where am I gonna go? I'm gonna go to the USA. Do you get it yet? This is always the case. The extremists are the ones that migrate out. And that includes us in the nature of our immigration from Europe here as Christians. Does that make sense? Having me personally, a Mormon family, right? We left Europe in droves as we converted to Mormonism in Europe. Why? Because we didn't fit in. We were too extreme for the culture of Europe anymore. We had to get to a land of religious freedom, which was great. Worked out for us, and it might work out for them if we don't do something about it. Okay. Now, here's what you got to understand. And Mike Johnson says this explicitly. The Democrat Party relies on those 20 million voters. Who are they? Illegal immigrants that are on benefits, Muslims that are here trying to take over, and the political party, the Democrat Party, is exclusively focused on power. Their coalition makes no sense. LGBTQT plus Muslims, plus, you know, plus uh conservative Catholics coming up from the Southern Hemisphere. It makes no sense.

SPEAKER_41 41:41

Plus pro-war.

Venezuela Pivot, Gold Flows, And Energy Leverage

SPEAKER_28 41:42

Yeah, plus pro-war and it makes they got Muslims and Catholics that that are anti-abortion, but yet they're super pro-abortion. They've got LGBT. It makes no sense. The only unifying thread amongst them is power, right? As a coalition together, they can get power. And once they get power, of course they're gonna cannibalize themselves. Of course. And Mike Johnson explains this. Look at what the Democrats do, look at their deeds.

SPEAKER_50 42:12

And the Democrats will continue to abuse it. They sued the USDA for asking them, simply asking them to tell them how many illegal aliens are on their programs in California, New York, and these other states. They sued them. That's why we're so frustrated.

SPEAKER_28 42:43

They sued the USDA, not for all the many things they could sue. They sued them because they didn't want to provide information on who was getting SNAP benefits and section, you know, all the benefit programs. Why? Because that's their constituency. It doesn't make any sense.

SPEAKER_41 42:59

Because if you wanted to get, let's say you had a million people on your rolls and you wanted those people to get benefits, wouldn't you want them counted so that they could actually provide enough benefits and prepare to provide enough benefits?

SPEAKER_28 43:10

But what they don't want to do is to connect the fact that A, illegals are getting paid and they're on the voter rolls. Because remember, this is the motor-voter thing, right? The Obama administration did a huge initiative that anytime you got government benefits, Section 8, SNAP, whatever, they automatically registered you to vote. And whether they told you or not that you were registered, a ballot was generated. Yes. And one political party has spent a lot of time and effort trying to get voters. They're called Republicans. They try to win in the marketplace of ideas. And the other political party realized that all they needed to win elections was ballots. They don't have to connect to real people, right? That's just that simple. How are you ever gonna take over the country when you think that you need voters to win elections? When the ruth is you only need ballots.

SPEAKER_41 43:57

Well, it's easier to swing ballots than vote.

SPEAKER_28 44:00

Yes, yes, 20 million of them. Schumer said the quiet part out loud. That's where their vote power is coming from. The 20 million illegals, and they're going to protect it as best they can. Now, in the world of unintended consequences, one of the unintended consequences of going in and arresting Nicolas Maduro and putting Dulce Rodriguez under the American thumb, which apparently seems to be going well, America is becoming significantly richer since we stood that.

SPEAKER_35 44:28

We signed the first uh licenses for critical minerals to start flowing and precious minerals. On Friday, there was$100 million of gold that came from Venezuela to the United States. That's for both industrial purposes as well as other commercial uses. Uh, Venezuela's got$500 billion of resources of gold, but they've also got other critical minerals, bauxite for aluminum, which we need for defense and for consumer goods. Uh, they've got coal resources that can be used to help generate power uh begin to help us win the AI arms race with China. So they're rich, rich, rich in minerals. And just like they passed an amazing hydrocarbon law back in January, in three weeks, their legislature did that uh in response to the U.S. Uh that's creating opportunity. Did you hear that?

SPEAKER_28 45:13

They passed a hydrocarbon law. Why? Because we arrest Maduro, they're like, what would you like us to do? How would you like us to fix our economy for you? This is amazing. How much gold was that?

SPEAKER_41 45:25

It was a half a trillion dollars. I was gonna ask you, where do these guys who wants to leave Venezuela? They have so much gold. Dude, it's unbelievable.

SPEAKER_28 45:36

That's like uh you remember when they were like endless wars, your kids will be drafted to go fight in Venezuela? No, not at all. The legislature's like totally on board. Yeah, let's do this.

SPEAKER_35 45:48

It's for investment, for human capital and financial capital in their country haven't seen. And now, uh on Monday in in tomorrow, they're introducing a similar kind of change in regime, the laws uh for all of the critical minerals in mining. And so when we were down there this week with both oil and gas executives from the U.S. and the top mining executives, these folks are excited about getting back to Venezuela. They were often there before in the past. They see great opportunity. Uh, and I tell you, the people of Venezuela, uh, they are going to be putting up the statute of President Trump as a great liberator because he has opened up their economy again after more than two decades. Uh, the enthusiasm is high on the ground level in Venezuela for what their future can be. Uh, and again, fun to be bringing home the gold uh for America on Friday from uh from Venezuela. Uh the partnership very strong there with Delcy Rodriguez uh in the leadership in Venezuela.

SPEAKER_53 46:42

You sound like an Olympic athlete, uh bringing home the gold. Uh now that's part of it.

SPEAKER_35 46:47

President Trump has promised a golden age of abundance. So, what a better way to kick things off with Venezuela to have the first critical mineral literally be uh the solid gold bars coming back as part of this new relationship with Venezuela.

SPEAKER_53 46:59

Well, we look forward to the solid gold bars uh photo up. We would like to be there for that one. Uh Secretary Bergum.

Russia, Iran, Intelligence, And Oil Strategy

SPEAKER_28 47:06

I'm always reminded of Ron. Um he's on the blue-collar comedy tour. What was his name? Uh, but he talks about, you know, Venezuela, Colombia, they tricked us out of our drug money. Just getting your gold back. Oh man, that's incredible. Iran, are you paying attention? Russia, are you paying attention? America's open for business. Stop sending criminals, stop being criminals, stop being corrupt. We'll work with you.

SPEAKER_41 47:32

Send us your gold bars.

unknown 47:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_28 47:36

We're giving you security protections. Listen, someone's got to win, right? If we're gonna colonize the world, let it be American. I mean, I don't know, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's just is what it is. Here's Pete Heggseth. He was asked about Russia because there's there's Russia, I'm certain, is probably providing intelligence to Iran, targeting data. I'm sure China is too. And he gets asked about this because there's a big turnaround that's happened here with Russia in just the last couple days. Russia is maybe working with us. I don't know. CBS maybe and so Heggsoth here is saying, trust me, there's nothing going on that we don't know.

SPEAKER_04 48:14

It has three sources telling us that Russia is providing intelligence to Iran on U.S. positions and movements. The average American might hear that and think that's a big and dangerous deal, is it?

SPEAKER_17 48:26

Well, we're tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world. We're aware of who's talking to who, why they're talking to them, how accurate that information might be, how we factor that into our battle plans, our CENTCOM commander. So we know what's going on. And the president has an incredible uh knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks. And so the American people can rest assured. Uh their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who, and anything that shouldn't be happening, whether it's in public or back channeled, is being confronted and confronted strongly.

SPEAKER_04 48:57

The American people could therefore expect conversations with the Russians to stop this?

SPEAKER_17 49:01

Well, I President Trump, as people have seen, has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders where he can get things done that other presidents, certainly Joe Biden never could have. And through direct conversations or indirect through him one-to-one or through his cabinet, messages uh definitely can be delivered.

SPEAKER_04 49:18

Does this put U.S. personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? Well, the Russian involvement. No one's putting us us in danger.

SPEAKER_17 49:25

We're putting the other guys in danger. That's our job. So we're not concerned about that. We mitigate it as we need to. Our commanders factor all of this, but the only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're gonna live.

SPEAKER_28 49:38

Pete Hagseth is the perfect secretary of war because he's an actual war fighter. And he's a communication expert. He's been on TV, the Fox and Friends gig, right? So he knows how to how to say a line. So it's he's perfect for this position. A little bit of propaganda and a lot of action, right? Now he mentions there Trump has a unique way of communicating with other leaders, and he's uniquely able to um break stalemates. So we've been in a stalemate with Russia for a long time. And I think Russia would rather not be in the stalemate, but generations past have kind of pushed them into the corner they're in, right? Where they kind of have to, they gotta act in their own interests, and that's the problem as far as we're concerned, right? Well, I if if Russia was providing information, because we know they were, they were aligned with Iran, they were buying oil from them, or not buying oil, but they were helping facilitate oil sales and some money laundering and all that kind of stuff, right? Well, Iran is being decimated right now. Can we agree on that? 3,000 targets hit in the last week, just absolutely being decimated. Their entire Navy is sitting at the bottom of the ocean, 32 ships. It's just devastating. Their entire Air Force haven't sent a plane up in days. It's decimated. Basically, right now, they're just an internet group that's just trying to claim control and tell people to fire at things in the air with guns. You know what I mean? Like there's really not a whole lot that they're effectively doing now. Uh, their launches of missiles and drones has dropped 90%. So you are, I mean, you're dealing with remnants at this point. Like the attack was so big. And one of the things that happened was obviously the Strait of Hormuz got closed by Lloyd's in London. And that that was an effort, most likely, to pinch off oil to China, oil to uh Asia, which was gonna cause a lot of market problems. United States jumped in, there's been a ship. We're gonna talk about that in a second. But one of the things that happened in all of this was all of a sudden Russia has upside. Russia has upside in the war in Iran. So they might be sharing intelligence, but how long are they gonna show intelligence with the losing team when the winning team is like, hey, you know how you guys are a huge producer of energy? How would you like to fill in the gap?

SPEAKER_36 51:54

Uh the Indians had been very good actors. We had asked them to stop buying sanctioned Russian oil this fall. They did. They were gonna substitute it with U.S. oil, uh, but to uh ease the uh temporary gap of oil around the world, uh we have given them permission to accept the Russian oil. We may unsanction other Russian oil. You know, the the other thing Treasury can do here, Larry, is there are hundreds of millions of millions of sanctioned barrels of sanctioned crude on the water, and in essence, by unsanctioning them, Treasury can create supply. And you know, we we are looking at that. We're going to uh keep a cadence of announcing measures uh to bring relief to the market.

Gulf States’ Shift And Iran’s Miscalculation

SPEAKER_28 52:44

Uh the So all of a sudden Russia's like, so India can buy our oil if we go play along with you guys taking out Iran? Okay, they're losing anyways. Do you not do you see how Trump has uniquely positioned the chessboard where now he can provide relief with Russia, which will change their whole outlook on things? There was a thing to I I read an article this weekend and I didn't save it unfortunately, but it was talking about the impact on Russia once they attacked Ukraine. So what have they gotten out of that? It's cost them seven billion dollars, 700 billion dollars. Okay, it's cost them 1.2 to 1.5 Russian lives have died in this Ukrainian conflict. That's on the Russian side. A million people have left Russia, fled its borders to avoid being drafted and conscripted. Okay. Uh so 700 billion. They got two new NATO countries on their border. Okay, so if the whole point was to push back on NATO, backfired big time. Oops, they've been more isolated from the world economy than ever before, right? Like it has not worked out well for them.

SPEAKER_41 53:50

Not a lot of winning going on.

SPEAKER_28 53:51

Not a lot of winning going on. Whereas we went into Venezuela, took out Maduro, and all of a sudden we're getting gold bars. Okay, you're not getting gold bars out of Ukraine, Mr. Putin, right? And then on top of that, now we're in Iran and we're letting Russia sell oil to India, and we get to be the ones that give that permission. What a strategic win. What a strategic win. Russia doesn't want to back the loser. They didn't want to back the loser in the first place. I because I was in college 20 years ago, right? 06, 07. Uh, I got my whole bachelor's degree in two years. Probably doesn't surprise a lot of you guys that have been listening for a while. Political science, not that hard. You just got to read a lot of books. Okay. So, anyways, when I was in college, I oh, we I had a whole class on Russia. And at the time, Russia was it was like they'd been trying to liberalize. Putin was president for the first time, and then he became prime minister, then he became president again, or is he whatever it is. They kind of have made special places for him in their government, right? He's can rule forever. But he wanted to liberalize, he wanted to be enter into the West, but we pushed him out because frankly, I don't there's no real other explanation other than we needed a boogeyman, right? We it was really hard for the United States post-cold war, where we'd really built our empire on opposing communism, that we ran out of enemies. And the one enemy we should have had, China, Bush flew over there after Tiananmen Square and was like, haha, we'll let you guys trade with us. You know, it was kind of a weird deal. But this strict this is super strategic how they did that. The other thing that's happened too with Iran is unlike the conflict in Ukraine that did not solidify support around Russia, except for the evil Axis, right? It didn't solidify support. Um, the Gulf states, which are primarily Sunni, right, have always had an issue with Iran, who's Shia, right? These are different religions, there's Protestant and Catholics, a little bit of oil and water going on, right? The Gulf states wanted to stay out of this, and for years, years, they've held the United States and Israel at bay by basically not wanting just let Iran be. Even though they're a huge threat, let them be. Because the Gulf states are really focused on trade, economic development, and stuff like that. The Gulf states have in large part abandoned Wahhabiism. Wahhabiism is the extreme version of Sunni. That's where Al-Qaeda came from. Okay. They've abandoned that. MBS has launched huge raids on the moral police and the uh imams in Saudi Arabia that were Wahhabiists. I mean, he's imprisoned Wahhabiist imams so that he could liberalize his country. Right? Like he's gotten rid of the extremist preachers that wouldn't let women drive. And now in Saudi Arabia, women can drive. They got driver's licenses, which is a big, big deal, right? So they've really won tried to liberalize. And so the Gulf states, though, even with all that, were sitting on the sidelines. But Iran made a critical miscalculation.

SPEAKER_34 56:54

It is a big sense of betrayal. This is and this is the second time. That's that's why it's also like for us, it's been something really significant to see the attack which was showing that being pre-planned, like once the war started, just maybe an hour after the start of the war, Qatar and the other Gulf countries being attacked twice a week. Uh and all of us before this war, and repeatingly we've been saying and repeating that we are not going to take part of any attacks or any wars against uh our neighbors who would like to see a peaceful neighborhood. We were helping Iran and the United States in reaching diplomatic solutions. But uh this uh th this miscalculation by the Iranians to attack legal countries has destroyed everything. We were uh we would be like the glimpse of hope to bring some diplomatic solutions to the current conflict and to be uh you know uh to be attacked by by one of the parties of of that conflict. We will prioritize, of course, defending our country and making sure that our people's lives you know uh go as normally and they as much as possible they don't feel uh uh peace threats uh coming to our so it was a huge miscalculation, and what they saw was within one hour of being attacked, you launched missiles at us.

Strait Of Hormuz, Tankers, And Market Signals

SPEAKER_28 58:22

We were we were trying to hold the dogs at bay. So it's like it was a betrayal. Like this whole time we thought we were helping a fellow Islam, even if we had disagreements. I mean, you know what I'm saying? Uh one of the things that also happened was Britain wanted to stay out of this, and I honestly believe that they were using Iran as an off-balance sheet for the British banking cartels, clearly. Okay. And I Britain didn't want to jump in, but now that we're like pretty much done, I mean, like, you know what I mean? Like, I don't know. I'm sure it will go on for a while, but at this point, they're they're talking about it's just whack-a-mole. Britain wanted to send some battle carriers to into the Mediterranean to help. You know what Trump said? Our once great ally, right? We don't want you. Don't even send your ships, don't send them when we don't want allies that just show up when the war is won.

SPEAKER_43 59:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_28 59:13

Wow, we're gonna talk about that here in a second. Okay, so the other thing too is as I drove drove here this morning, I looked at gas prices.$5.99 a gallon.

SPEAKER_41 59:22

Oh, geez.

SPEAKER_28 59:23

$5.99 a gallon.

SPEAKER_41 59:26

You know, every time I go on a trip down to Utah and I'm with the the relatives and they tell me about gas prices up here, they're look at me like I'm just like making stuff up.

SPEAKER_28 59:38

We pay a buck eighty seven a gallon in gases in tax in tax. I know, and some of them are like states that had an entire gallon with tax at a buck 87.

SPEAKER_41 59:49

I know, and that's why they're like, come on, bro.

SPEAKER_28 59:52

And we just passed income tax, and a couple years ago we got a capital gains tax, and we do have the largest broad tax increase ever. It's getting bad, it's getting real rough here, okay? But the Strait of Hormuz, closed by Lloyd's, right, had its first tanker that went through it this week. So we expect the energy markets to open up, and guess what? Russia's in the game.

SPEAKER_33 1:00:11

Yeah, the plan is to get oil and natural gas and fertilizer and all the products from the Gulf flowing through the straits before too long. And I may break a little news here, but one large tanker has already gone through the straits with no issues at all. So, as the general just described, we're massively attriting their ability to strike with missiles and drones, and that that rate of attrition will increase in the coming days. So we'll be cautious, we'll be careful, but uh energy will flow soon. It's one of the reasons the president had to move on this war. Iran has just terrorized America, the neighborhood, and energy markets for 47 years.

SPEAKER_28 1:00:52

Yeah, they have. In fact, every single spike in gas prices, with the exception of when Biden canceled the Keystone Exile pipeline, has been a result of Iranian actions. Every single gas spike, all the way going back to the 1970s, going all the way back then. They were behind it then, right? And so Steve Wickoff explained something on Air Force One that is significant for us to understand. Because this is what the news missed, right? The news and the way the propaganda was coming out of Iran and Oman as well was that everything was on the table, we'll negotiate. And the reality was the Iranians had a different tact. Okay. What they said what they would concede, they weren't going to concede anything diplomatically that the United States did not take militarily.

SPEAKER_31 1:01:39

The map of Iran looks the same after this is all done. I can't tell you. Probably not. Do you know if any of the shipping companies have taken the U.S. off?

SPEAKER_28 1:01:49

Uh just so you know, the the what was asked there was is the map going to look to look the same when this is all done? Like are the board and he said, probably not. We carved up the Ottoman Empire once, we might carve up the Persian one.

SPEAKER_32 1:02:05

We have it set up. We have a great insurance and reinsurance system. But I don't see when you talk about when this ends, we're gonna have a much safer world, you know that. So, you know, this is a minor excursion. But when this ends, we're gonna have a much safer world, and we will have gotten rid of a lot of secret dimension people.

Fast Strike Doctrine And ROE Changes

SPEAKER_20 1:02:25

All right, you just heard President Trump answering uh a bunch of questions on Air Force One, direct questions uh about the war that were that were with he continued to incursion, in other words, no commission here delay between the U.S. Did I get the wrong this happens?

SPEAKER_28 1:02:42

Yeah, it did happen. Okay, well, either way, he's talking about we're gonna have a much safer world. Do I have the other clip? Let me just make sure we have it. Otherwise, I'll just state it. But Wickoff, we're standing right there. Here we go. Here we go, here we go. Maybe I'm out of order now. Oh, go for it, Ron. Oh, jeez. Okay, we'll play this clip. You get okay, coming out of this, by the way, FTL Live Better Today. Good morning from Michigan. I have seen, I just haven't said hello, but good morning. Go for it, Ron.

SPEAKER_41 1:03:09

All right, now we got one. Ah, they can freeze your accounts and shut off your cards, lock you out of your own money overnight. Banks don't protect you, they control you. That's why financial freedom starts with ownership. Introducing Rumble Wallet, a non-custodial wallet built for people who refuse to give up control. With Rumble Wallet, you don't just buy digital currency like Bitcoin and Tether. You can own Tether Gold, real gold, on the blockchain. Through Tether Gold, you get direct ownership of physical gold bars, each one fully allocated, verifiable by serial number, purity and weight. This isn't paper gold, this isn't an IOU, this is real gold without bank faults, storage fees, or gatekeepers. You can buy, sell, or move it 24 hours a day, seven days a week, even when traditional gold markets are closed. And if you want, tether gold can be redeemed for physical gold. That's power. And when you support creators on Rumble, you can tip them directly using Rumble Wallet peer-to-peer and outside the banking system. No permissions, no middlemen, no cancel button. That wallet is yours forever.

SPEAKER_28 1:04:14

I think that's awesome. So the Rumble wallet can do crypto and it can do gold. That's pretty cool. That is actually really cool. We're gonna talk a little bit about the upcoming Bitcoin surge in just a minute. Okay, so this is Steve Wickoff. I already teased this, and he explained why negotiations with Iran broke down.

SPEAKER_26 1:04:34

They bragged about having uh 60% um enriched fuel enough for 11 bombs. They told me and Jared, uh, we're not gonna give you uh diplomatically what you couldn't take militarily. So, you know, I think they're gonna need a change of attitude.

SPEAKER_28 1:04:53

He told them you can't have diplomatically what you couldn't take militarily. So, you know, we'll give you a piece of paper, like the Obama administration, a nice win. Hey, we got a deal, but we're not gonna stop enriching if you can't stop us, right? Why would we give that? Why would we just give that away? Well, okay. What's the FAFO? Is that the case? Yeah, I mean, that's like come and get it. Yeah, screw around. Muddy Easel says, Glad I'm home. Gas is 233 per gallon. Insanity. That's in Idaho, by the way.

SPEAKER_41 1:05:23

That's like almost all of our taxes.

Britain’s Late Entry And Alliance Friction

SPEAKER_28 1:05:25

It's less than half of what it is here. It's crazy. It's it's horrible. Washington State may as well put on turbans and be molas, man. I mean, seriously, these guys are crazy. Okay, Pete Hagseth has asked about this conflict in Iran. The Tucker Carlson crowd, the Nick Fuentes crowd, which by the way, Nick Fuentes is a loser. Um crazy, but they've over overly concerned about boots on the ground and overly concerned about nation building. And rightly so. There's been no evidence from the United States prior to Donald Trump that our military. Engagements weren't long-term and devastating, right? We didn't do enough to actually fix the problems, but we definitely stirred the hornets-ness. I mean, it took 20 years for Iraq to recover from what we did there in Afghanistan. I don't even know what's going on there. It's a mess. Syria, we put Al Qaeda in charge. All right, we'll see how it goes. Nothing good came of our intervention in the Middle East, but we kind of had to do it because of oil, blah, blah, blah. Either way, we didn't prosecute it correctly. And Pete Heggseth happened to be one of the soldiers on the ground in Afghanistan during that time frame. So have we learned from our mistakes? I do believe we have. This is why Pete Hegseth is so unique. He is a war fighter, right? He actually has been in the line of fire and he's been a part of these nation-building campaigns, and they reject it entirely.

SPEAKER_17 1:06:45

I mean, in Afghanistan, what I watched as a young captain was Americans thinking we were going to remake a society that was basically biblical times with AK-47s and cell phones. The hubris of we're going to take Afghanistan and turn it into a Jeffersonian democracy by building Western-style forces and Western-style institutions. It was never going to work. And I saw it and watched it play out. And that doesn't dispel the courage of the Americans who fought there, who I know there. But this is not a remaking of the Iranian society from an American perspective. We tried that, the American people have rejected that. President Trump called those wars dumb. And we're not fighting that way. And so that's the paradigm I want, I hope Americans will look at this. This is a president who believes that American strength is important, that we get more peace in the world when we are strong, uh, and that the Iranian regime seeking these kinds of nuclear weapons, it was an unacceptable risk for the United States of America. And he took action. And what you're seeing now is overwhelming swift action, not to simply compel a slight change in a week, but to truly get rid of that threat and provide maximum options and decision space for the president on behalf of American interests in the world.

SPEAKER_28 1:08:01

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That's pretty good. Lieutenant Kellogg, Lieutenant General Kellogg, says he's never seen this kind of engagement before.

SPEAKER_51 1:08:11

Very much. Look, what this really tells me is something that I haven't seen in my generation on the rules of engagement is the president is going after everything. It's full, you know, it's full speed ahead. They're taking out targets most of them hadn't thought about. There's a huge target list out there, and there's no restrictions. And the president's right about winning. There's no doubt in my mind that we're destroying every target we want to get to. And Brett just came on a minute ago, and he's probably the drone king of the world out there. And we're just using things that we hadn't used before and going after these targets, like the Lukas system, which is a drone system that we reverse engineered from the Shahad 136 that's got a basically a huge warhead on it, that we're sending back to the Iranians. So we took their design, reverse-engineered it, and sending it back. And we're going after their deep buried, deeply buried bunkers. We're going after every target we can we can find that's out there. You know, this is one of those that advised the Mullers is you better go back to your mosque because you know there's a game in America called Wacomole. We're doing whack a mola right now. And it's sort of like everybody sticks their head up and says, I'm in charge, you're gone, you're history. And the Revolutionary Guards is gone too. Their military is gone. Their military, the economic piece is gone. It's just a massive win for the United States. They're playing whackamola.

Banking Manipulation, Crypto Clarity, And Bitcoin

SPEAKER_28 1:09:31

Waccomola. This is significant, right? You've got you're breaking the back of the axis of evil, so it called, right? We've moved from Venezuela, Cuba is blackouts. By the way, there's street protests in Cuba, and the Cuban government's not doing anything about it. And the Cuban president was like, Yeah, we would like to have some diplomatic relations. And I guess Marco Rubio is going to be talking to him here pretty soon. They're like, Yeah, no, we can't no, we there's no reason we shouldn't be friendly neighbors. That's called self-preservation. Okay. The Cubans do not have an apocalyptic worldview, they have a communistic worldview. The mullahs have an apocalyptic worldview. Right? They were willing to go down with the ship and you know meet the virgins in heaven. You know what I'm saying? And that's what that's what uh uh what is his name? He was the he was the national security director for a minute, and now he's over at the UN. Mike Waltz. Michael Waltz. He was a former congressman from Florida. Michael Waltz explains this pretty clearly. He's he's explaining he's explaining that the Iran had all of 1,200 missiles targeted at their neighbors, which is what we heard from our our friend here a minute ago, where he said, look, the thing that shocked us was within an hour we were getting hit. It was a huge betrayal. Like we've been trying to be on your side this whole time. And you were targeting us? And that's that's one of the reasons. The mullahs couldn't play with it.

SPEAKER_13 1:10:57

The President of the United States 20 minutes ago about the Gulf states and their involvement. And what he told me was this Iran had thousands of missiles pointed at all these Middle Eastern countries for the last four months. They were going to take over the Middle East, meaning Iran. They were going to control it all. The UAE, Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. They had 1,200 missiles pointed at these countries. All these nations were afraid of Iran, and they are not anymore. And they had reason to be afraid. We have knocked the hell out of them like no other nation could, and they still have remnants left. Just wanted you to respond to that.

SPEAKER_25 1:11:32

Well, this is why uh the president, one of the reasons I think he did why he did this now. Uh imagine uh we're seeing how the Iranian regime is behaving now. Imagine uh if the president had kicked the can like so many of his predecessors had, and at the rate that Iran was producing these drones and ballistic missiles had tens, if not hundreds, of thousands years from now. That's the shield that uh Secretary Rubio has been talking about, behind which they would then develop a full-blown nuclear program, which we know they intended to do. They were not negotiating in good faith. Uh, the reason President Trump went now is because they're at their weakest point. And he's not the type of president to kick the can and let future generations have to deal with a much stronger nuclear-armed Iran to then truly hold not just the region, but the world hostage.

SPEAKER_13 1:12:28

Ambassador, they think Israel's the problem, but those Gulf states know Iran's the problem. I also asked the president about the rise in oil prices,$100 a barrel. And he said this about the Strait of Hamoz, Hamooz. These ships got to go through the Strait of Hamooz and show some guts. There's nothing to be afraid of. They have no Navy. We sunk all their ships and all but 20% of their launchers. What is your reaction and that message to the merchant ships? And that's the Gulf states, too, to start getting that oil going through there.

Epstein Files, Guard Payments, And Cover‑Ups

SPEAKER_25 1:13:00

Well, to the president's point, we've destroyed their Air Force, destroyed their air defenses, destroyed uh 80, 90% of their launchers uh and missile capability and sank their entire Navy. Uh, this is about, I think, emotion. It's irrational. Uh, we have eliminated the threat for these uh both merchant ships, uh, and and commerce needs to start moving. In addition to that, the Development Finance Corporation, led by Ben Black, uh, the you know, the president and secretary, and he announced that we'll put insurance in place just as an additional safeguard. So these ships need to start moving. Uh, I understand uh from talking to Secretary Wright, our energy secretary, that one what they call Suez Max, which is a super tanker, has moved, and we're asking the rest to follow suit. We'll give them the protection they need, and we are knocking the snot out of Iran's capabilities. But again, the one more reason why we had to do it now and not wait until they had even additional capability to not just hold the region hostage, but the world's energy supplies. Enough is enough. They've been doing this for 47 years. They started this war 47 years ago. Thank God President Trump is doing what's necessary to end it.

SPEAKER_13 1:14:16

And to close this, Russia is helping Iran with targets against us, our facilities in Bahrain, uh, office buildings in Saudi Arabia where the CIA is located. At the same time, Ukraine is helping us with drone technology. What does that tell you about that conflict and whose side who's on?

SPEAKER_25 1:14:38

Well, you know, Russia has now lost its largest manufacturer and supplier of drones, uh, the Shahid drones that have been so devastating. Oh, by the way, so have the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, and everyone else. Russia's also lost uh a supplier of ballistic. You hearing that?

SPEAKER_28 1:14:54

So taking out Iran also has a double dose of putting pressure on Russia because guess who makes the drones that Russia's using? Iran was wow. Wow, Lindsay Graham. We got you, we got your back, bro. That's that's a stunning turn of events, which is probably why Russia's more than half- Oh, wait, hold on. We can't do the drone. Can we sell oil?

SPEAKER_25 1:15:22

Missiles. Uh, so that symbiotic relationship has to break. Uh uh Secret uh Special Envoy Whitkoff has delivered a very tough message. Uh, and at the at the end of the day, um, this you know, kind of axis of evil is going to be broken. Uh, Iran is no longer going to be a threat and no longer going to be a supplier to China and Russia.

SPEAKER_13 1:15:44

And Ambassador, I just had a chance to watch you go at it with the Iranian foreign minister, and you made America really proud. Uh, and you kept your temper, which I wouldn't have been able to do. Ambassador, thanks so much. Wow, that's great.

SPEAKER_28 1:15:58

I'm telling you, man, I think a lot of panickins out there did not recognize the strategy of Trump's march. And one of the things that got mentioned yesterday on Liberty Lounge that Lisa mentioned, she was like, Well, I just I wish it didn't have to be during a midterm year. I was like, that's the problem. That's the problem. Is Americans every they have to the political power, right? They have to think about the next election, the next election, the next election.

SPEAKER_41 1:16:24

There's always some political consideration.

SPEAKER_28 1:16:26

Yeah, so we kicked the can down the road, we kicked the can down the road, we kicked the can down the road, and then we never dealt with this stuff. And so Trump's just like, listen, we gotta deal with it. Britain, okay, this is this is from GB GB News, and they're talking about the impotence of Keir Starmer, where Trump tells Starmer, I don't need your help in golf now. It was like really bad. Listen to this.

SPEAKER_16 1:16:49

I've never ever had a United States president say anything publicly like this about a British Prime Minister in my entire life. Extraordinary. It is extraordinary, and it matters, and it matters because the British relationship uh with the Americans, which we call the special relationship, means huge things for security, for our trade, for our standing in the world. And it also means that, you know, uh we are able to get things done in this country. And the state of the relationship now between Trump and Starmer, even if Trump is just using language and doesn't intend to follow through on it, it definitely calls into question the relationship. And and another story that's happened overnight, which um some of the papers picked up on, is that Tony Blair, the former prime minister, fought uh at an event held by Jewish News, uh prominent Jewish newspaper in the UK, where he said that we should have been with the United States from the very beginning of this. And he said that you cannot turn up late. You have to turn up supporting the Americans who are your cornerstone, your biggest ally. Trump said, he literally said, Britain was our once our greatest. I know, we will remember this, he said. So this matters in huge ways uh that we haven't yet seen play out. Now, if you're Starmer with a split Labour Party, he probably thinks that actually being criticized by Trump will do his own standing with Labour MPs on the left quite uh you know, quite a quite a good result for him. Why? Because Labour MPs on the left would say this is a badge of honour being criticized by Trump. It shows we're not in Trump's back pocket. But actually there are much, much bigger ramifications for this.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:30

It should be pointed out that a spokesperson for Tony Blair said he hadn't intended for these uh comments which were made in private to be made public. And some might say, well, he would say that, wouldn't he, after the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Is there an argument, maybe, George, as you are an expert in reputational management, that this whole being all things to all men approach, on one hand, it can end up pleasing no one. But on the other hand, this middle ground of kind of trying to channel his inner Hugh Grant in love, actually, and taking on the president but not quite succeeding, kind of does put him in a quite good position in terms of the Labour backbenchers don't think he's been too slavishly devoted to Washington. He hasn't been a poodle. And at the same time, if he's criticized by the right for not being fully throated enough, he can argue, well, I'm just much better at doing my thinking and planning than a more inflammatory figure like, for instance, Liz Truss.

FBI Prohibited Files And Hidden Oversight

SPEAKER_16 1:19:25

Well, that's absolutely where Keir Starmer will sit. He will say, I'm standing in the middle, I'm not in anybody's camp, I'm doing the right thing for the United Kingdom. We can only hope that what's happened here with Trump over the last week is not going to have ramifications in real terms. What do I mean by that? For instance, Britain is the only country really that's escaped the trade tariffs, the expensive taxes for now, which impact British employers and employees. And this sort of stuff really, really matters. We don't know if this is going to translate or not. But from a Starmer perspective, all he can do is he's trying to keep this very fragile coalition of support he's got within even the Labour Party alive so he can stay in power. Don't forget, in only a few weeks' time, early May, we've got local elections where Keir Starmer's party may not do very well at all, and Labour MPs will again be looking to see if they can remove him. There's nothing more scary to a member of parliament than the prospect of them losing their job in an election.

SPEAKER_28 1:20:28

That does focus the mind on what very much focuses. Then you can't protect yourself and all the bad things you did while you were in office. That's another exam perfect example, right? Just like our friend yesterday said, Oh, I'm too bad it was in a midterm. We need to win to midterms. Yeah, that's why we never got anything done. And Keir Starmer's got that same consideration. And now, because he was late to the game, it's probably going to be the very thing that causes them to lose their upcoming election. Right? So he he calculated badly. Now, had it gone poorly and had it become a big debacle over there in Iran, we'll wait and see. I mean, we're only a week and a day into this thing, right? Then maybe he's on the the right side of that issue. But the way it looks like right now, with the Iranian Navy at the bottom of the ocean, the Air Force completely grounded, their missile launchers depleted to the point of what's left. I don't think he got the right side of this thing. You know, I mean from what I understand, Iran is at the position now that if we just stopped, I mean, they wouldn't be able to recover. You know, I mean, they've got so much to do. They'd have to rebuild just infrastructure. They're not going to be rebuilding missiles anytime soon. Those factories are toasted.

SPEAKER_41 1:21:40

They still need to hold elections.

SPEAKER_28 1:21:42

Yeah. Now, remember how DeSantis said you guys are going after everything? Like, you know, you took on college football. You know, we were bombing Iran, you've got Venezuela, you're you're receiving gold bars, like you got so many things going on that you could easily have just put off the the college sports issue. But Trump doesn't do that, he's peddled in the middle on everything. A handful of years ago, this was 2020, JP Morgan agrees to pay a$920 million dollars, that's almost a billion dollars, guys, in connections with schemes to defraud precious metals in U.S. treasury markets. The banking system's busted, right? What they were doing was uh there was no jail for any of these executives, and Jamie Diamond's still running the place, but they were manipulating our money markets, right? It was completely fake. And anybody who understands the frailty of the fiat system and the way it's currently construed, and how much money is off ledger, right? This is the Catherine Austin Fitz. Where's the$21 trillion? Right? Like, where's that money? She thinks they're building underground bunkers. We've got, you know, some breakaway civilizations, some space programs, which by the way, we'll get to here in a little bit. Okay.

SPEAKER_41 1:22:55

Now, isn't the money that we're talking about like enough money to have like an entire shadow America?

SPEAKER_28 1:23:02

Yes, it's that much money. Just missing. And how would they make it because JP Morgan and the five banks and the banking cartel all connected to London and back to the Vatican have been just absolutely manipulating things. But we're entering a new world. We have a new technology, it's called crypto and Bitcoin and blockchain. And there's a bill that they're trying to pass right now called the Clarity Act, which will provide institutional clarity as to how the system can interact with those digital assets. And Scott Bessant says it as clear as it can be this is coming, and there's going to be a flood of money going into crypto. Why? Because it's a transparent ledger. Why would I want a money market account that's manipulated by Chase and the other banks when I could have a ledger that is essentially a sound money system?

State Power Grabs And Warrantless Investigations

SPEAKER_36 1:23:51

I think what we're seeing in the crypto market uh over the past few months means more than ever that the U.S., we we need market structure, we need clarity, and we need to get this across the line this spring. We got a we got a few uh recalcitrant actors who said, well, it'd be better to have no legislation than the legislation we don't want. And I I think both on the banks, the other crypto firms are united against them. So we need to get this across the line. The U.S., uh president under President Trump's leadership, the U.S. is becoming the crypto capital of the world with our best practices, best regulation, and for crypto to remain a viable digital asset and move forward, we need to get this Clarity Act done.

SPEAKER_28 1:24:38

I think what we're seeing is And he he expects it to be the largest flood of money. He says it'll be the biggest capital inflow to big in Bitcoin history, right? So things are changing, but you can't change things and have that Bitcoin when you have rogue actors like Iran, Venezuela, and others that are and then on top of that, you have our local banks that manipulate markets. Crypto Bitcoin specifically, we shouldn't say crypto, but Bitcoin can't be manipulated like that. It's a gold standard, right? It's a solid, it's a solid weight and measure kind of thing. So that's pretty interesting. Now there's an intersection with that, of course, that comes with Jeffrey Epstein. As we found out from the Jeffrey Epstein files, they were deeply involved in some crypto things, mostly off crypto stuff, or off not Bitcoin so much, but other crypto markets. And one of the things uh Mario Nauphal put posted, this is really interesting. This is Google searches in the last you know little bit, and it goes, crap, it worked again. So this is interest over time for uh Epstein. You see it peaks, comes down, flat lines peaks again, comes back down. He's like, crap, we've already moved on from Epstein. Which coincidentally this weekend, there was a bombshell release. One of the Jeffrey Epstein guards, Tova Noel, Googled latest on Epstein jail twice at 5 42 a.m. and 5 52 a.m. Just 40 minutes before he was hanged in his cell at 6 30 a.m. on August 10th, 2019. So a guard that was on duty was Googling about Jeffrey Epstein 40 minutes before he was murdered. Plus, she made mysterious$5,000 cash deposit 10 days earlier, July 30th, 2019, part of a series of flag deposits totaling over 11,000 that Chase Bank reported as suspicious to the FBI.

SPEAKER_41 1:26:27

That's weird.

SPEAKER_28 1:26:28

Yeah. So in this video here, this is her going in and out of a cell. So allegedly, you know, she's part of this. Now, what have I alleged, right? That Epstein is dead and that the he didn't kill himself and that he's alive somewhere is the ruse, right? That keeps you from asking who done it. Well, we're finding out as this in interest drops in Epstein, we're getting another little tip into the who done it. You can track that money, right? Like it came from somewhere, and you have a guard that's directly involved with that. John Kirken now actually went and met with with uh Jeffrey Epstein's brother to ask about is he really dead?

SPEAKER_19 1:27:06

Then why does the Justice Department come out and say things like, Oh, here's all the evidence, and then they show that they didn't put all the evidence out, and I'm just talking about like that.

Welfare Fraud, Misused Funds, And Tax Backlash

SPEAKER_27 1:27:16

Well then that proves my point. Because people are idiots at every single level. It doesn't matter if you went to Harvard Law School, you can still be an idiot. Right. And another thing, too, this is this is a lesson that that government officials, especially senior government officials, just cannot learn. And it is that the cover-up of the crime is always worse than the crime. Oh yeah. Always. Yeah, yeah. Richard Nixon didn't resign because of Watergate. Richard Nixon resigned because of the cover-up of Watergate. I think it's the same situation here.

SPEAKER_19 1:27:57

Alright, well, let me flip it around on you. I have always thought still do think that Jeffrey Epstein is dead. And I feel pretty comfortable.

SPEAKER_27 1:28:09

I spoke to his brother recently. I said, Is he dead? And he's like, he's dead. I I identified the body.

SPEAKER_19 1:28:16

I'm just I mean, I spoke to OJ. I didn't speak to him, but he said he didn't do it. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_27 1:28:21

Like he identified the body. He said, I think he was murdered. And that's a debate, you know, that he wanted to have with me. But he said, Yeah, he's dead. I identified his body. I took it to the crematorium.

SPEAKER_19 1:28:34

Joseph Scott Morgan, a friend of mine, broke this down. He's a medical death investigator. He broke it down like scientifically with all the bones, the hyoid bone, and all that, about what would not make sense about it being suicide and therefore it being murder. Obviously, Dr. Michael Bodden, who's like the goat with all this. He's the goat. Also does not think that he killed himself. So it's possible, it's at least possible that he was killed. It's possible, definitely. Absolutely. Now I do think he's dead, but again, this whole thing is just like you almost have to open your mind to fucking everything. So why does the justice?

SPEAKER_28 1:29:13

I met a guy who was in the cell block with him when he died, who means that this guard that we just pointed out that was Googling latest on Jeffrey Epstein minutes before he was murdered, was on that cell block and was checking on him, you know what I mean, and got suspicious deposits for money. Now, the crazy thing about the deposits for money is that's the corruption of the Bureau of Prisons. That money could be for some type of Epstein cover-up, silent money, something. I doubt it wasn't money to kill them. All right. 11,000 seems a little cheap, but it could have been for anything.

SPEAKER_41 1:29:43

It just goes to show the guards are probably corrupt at that spot. Even if it was a billion dollars, I don't know if they were sending her in.

SPEAKER_28 1:29:50

We we had a start sergeant in DC that we called Sergeant Two Phones. Okay. Sergeant Two Phones. He was he was a sergeant, and sergeants have gold, right? They have gold insignia, and he had gold glasses, gold rings, gold. I mean, like the guy was gold. It was this black guard. He was a foreigner. I don't know where he was from. He had a pretty thick accent, but he was called Sergeant Two Phones. If you needed a cell phone for$5,000, he always had a second cell phone on it that you could leave with you. Okay. You know, he just had to get it to his Cash App. This is real. So that guard could have just been taking a cell phone payment for all we know. But it just goes to show if you can buy them off for a cell phone, you can buy off their silence, no doubt about it. No doubt about it. Now that we have a new report that came out this weekend, and this is again, it's another one of those things where it's like, duh, we knew this, but now we know it. Right? There's a difference. We thought this, we believed it, we alleged it, we saw evidence of it, but now we have an official disclosure. The FBI kept secret files.

SPEAKER_23 1:31:02

Here's more on the bombshell report.

USAIP Eviction Standoff And Swamp Resistance

SPEAKER_21 1:31:06

Most operators in America's surveillance apparatus couldn't see all the angles of the so-called wilderness of mirrors. On Friday, Racket News's Matt Taibi and Ryan Loveless published a slew of reports on the FBI's prohibited access files. News of the files piqued media's interest after FBI director Cash Patel told Reuters about the secret trove of documents, revealing the Biden effort on now White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

SPEAKER_38 1:31:30

Now this triggered Seraphim, as I would later learn, it triggered a bunch of other uh FBI folks too, because a lot of people in the bureau uh immediately said, Well, what the f is prohibited access?

SPEAKER_21 1:31:46

The FBI has a case management system called Sentinel that has three designations for files: restricted, unrestricted, and prohibited. The prohibited files don't turn up when rank and file FBI agents and investigators in Congress search for them and can only be accessed by a select few. One source told Racket News they are supposed to appear to be ghosts which do not exist. They are even hidden from FBI directors like Kash Patel.

SPEAKER_38 1:32:10

This is essentially an oral tradition that has been passed that gets passed from one set of bureaucrats to another, irrespective of who gets elected, who is who's in the White House, even who the director is. So uh, and this is in the DNA of uh the the FBI, which if you go back all the way to the very beginning to Hoover's first days, um he had uh a separate file cabinet of what he called uh official and confidential files.

SPEAKER_21 1:32:47

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has been working with whistleblowers to make the prohibited access files released. Grassley warned there are dubious political shenanigans revealed within these files, noting the Arctic Frost investigation into President Trump and his allies was in them. The racket team says the system goes as far back as 1999 and transcend administrations and parties. They also suggest there are at least a thousand case files under this designation, with a lot revealing abuses covered up by the Bureau.

SPEAKER_38 1:33:16

I think this may turn out to be an important little d little detail. Uh just to repeat, all misconduct cases automatically populate as prohibited files.

SPEAKER_28 1:33:30

Did you hear that? All misconduct cases. So if uh I don't know, maybe a TV host named Joe murdered his intern and the FBI did an investigation, it would be in this hidden file.

SPEAKER_41 1:33:42

Oh.

SPEAKER_28 1:33:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_41 1:33:46

We're not talking about this show, are we?

SPEAKER_28 1:33:49

So the FBI's got hidden files on all the government worker misconduct. That's called leverage. That's blackmail. Oh, shoot. They can just cover it up. Hey, we could just mark this in our sentinel program as uh no one's eyes only. That's what he's saying there. That's our government. That's the FBI, right?

SPEAKER_10 1:34:10

Why is that important, Ryan? Because all misconduct doesn't just cover, you know, some kind of harassment or internal like complaint, work complaint about your office neighbor. It's everything. The way they describe it is various felonies and misdemeanors. When the FBI agents are committing felonies and misdemeanors on the job, it automatically goes into this prohibited system that's locked away, that none of their colleagues are going to know about it. No one in Congress is to know about it unless they're given special access to it and they're not.

SPEAKER_21 1:34:37

Tell you being level of stress, the hidden files have massive implications for oversight in the FBI and for people who need to use the FBI's data for criminal cases.

SPEAKER_38 1:34:46

And the reason this is significant is because if you're a law enforcement agency and you have all kinds of oversight obligations, you have to answer FOIAs, you have to answer discovery requests. Um I mean, there could be a thousand different things that you have to put on paper.

Save America Act, Voter ID, And Senate Path

SPEAKER_21 1:35:05

They also assert, along with other media figures, the pressure needs to be constant on the FBI and DOJ to make sure the files get released. All the files are reportedly accounted for, but the scope remains unclear. Patel says he's got a transparency task force looking into the files. Claims he's ended the program, and he vows to turn over all documents to Congress that he illegally can.

SPEAKER_28 1:35:26

All right, so let's break this down. So the FBI works under the Department of Justice, and the FBI can basically initiate investigations. They have awesome tools available to them. Pfizer. If you talk to anybody that's a foreigner, you could be spied on, which is not very difficult to do. It's not the hardest thing.

SPEAKER_41 1:35:45

Well, here in America, it might be your neighbor.

SPEAKER_28 1:35:47

Literally, no, you're in a chat room that has a foreigner in it, and now they can find you, and then they can two-hop and they can look at who you talk to and who they talk to. So they have we know this. Like, this is kind of the whole genesis of the Carter Page issue. They can get these secret warrants that requires them to go to the judicial branch. And you know, if the judicial branch is in on it, it's kind of a problem. But they can just two-hop into anybody's stuff, but they can also just open investigations and they can also, and this is the other thing, they can purchase commercially available data. I was talking to someone that works for the city of Pulsbull this weekend, and she goes, We we went to a comedy club and the comedians said some jokes that hit kind of close to home. Like there was a J6 joke there, like there was a couple other jokes, and we were like, Do you think that's who we are? And she she opined, she says, I wonder if they bought our data. Like if they bought our data, and then before the show, they were able to look and see who's here. And she goes, and I was like, Well, why would you it's like it's like 20 people in the show? Like, why would they do that? And she goes, Well, in Pulsbo, the city of Pulsbo, we buy commercial data and we know everybody who comes in the city limits, and we know your profile, your searches, what you're in. Like they have their little your little digital avatar. The city of Pulsbo has a geo fence that they pay for commercial data for so they know every resident they have in their office a portal that'll let them know your browsing history.

SPEAKER_43 1:37:08

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_28 1:37:10

Why does the city of Pulsbo want that? Well, so we can advertise like Viking days and sure. Yeah, sure, exactly. That's an incredible amount of power. And she's like, it's just that easy. You just buy the data and you have it, you know. So for 28 grand, the city of Pulsbo knows everybody who drives in their city limits and/or lives there.

SPEAKER_41 1:37:28

That's only like three bucks a person.

Closing Loop: Voluntary Taxes And Compliance

SPEAKER_28 1:37:30

Yeah. So the executive branch just has that. Okay, because that's the executive function, right? The city hall. And then you think about the FBI being able to have these investigations and just bury them. Well, the state of Washington wants in on the game too. So Travis Couture posted this. This is a uh this is a congressional clip, and we're not going to watch it. It's 10 minutes long. But he goes on to explain a terrible, unconstitutional bill to give Attorney General Nick Brown, that's the attorney general here in Washington State, sweeping new powers past the House. It allows the Attorney General's office to launch unlimited civil investigations of small businesses, nonprofits, and individuals without a warrant and without a judge. What? It enables the AG to silence those investigations with gag orders, as in, you know, put them in the put them in the the hopper and silence everybody, drown them in court costs and compliance, punishes political opponents, and compels people to hand over papers over over their papers and effects without any due process. Nick Wal Nick Brown is everything. He accuses Donald Trump of worse, right? That it's a pattern, guys. It's a pattern. There's a pattern, right? And it's the Pentagon's not immune to this. Tim Burkhart, we've played this clip before. You know, the only way we're gonna get to the bottom of this stuff is somebody's gonna have to basically sacrifice their life to get us the information. You have a Pentagon that has billions of dollars that they and you can throw in the FBI and you can throw in all the other government agencies and how they hide the information they have.

SPEAKER_37 1:39:06

Hide. We don't ask for any accounting of. They never pass an audit in the history of audits. I've often said the only way we're really gonna get to the bottom of this is somebody's gonna walk out of one of these labs with this information and puts it out on the internet before they commit suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head five times.

SPEAKER_40 1:39:26

That's so true.

SPEAKER_28 1:39:27

So he's referring to they can't pass an audit, and we're not gonna find out anything where the money for war is going. And and more than anything, he's specifically mentioning the secret programs like the UAP programs. Uh Representative Burleson was on a call, and he's been one of these senate, he's one of these representatives. He's from Missouri. He's been one of these representatives like Burkhart and Luna that have been following up on these UAP disclosures. And he had some people come to him and say, There's a few people that you put on one of your little motions, you know, where you're trying to find information, you better take them off, or you're dead.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:58

Someone from that had experience in the special forces in the intelligence community. Um, I was I was running by the list with them, and they said, You need to take those two names off your list and never talk about those two people ever again. If you and and he and they said they they would have no problem having you killed.

SPEAKER_28 1:40:20

So we have government agencies that have secret investigation lists. You've got the Pentagon with secret budgets, and you've got a lot of missing money, and you have these UAPs flying around, which we believe, like the pills, you know, the tic-tacks are actually Lockheed Martin. Okay, take those names off the list, they would have no problem knocking you out. Eric Weinstein was on with Piers Morgan and he talked about this. And this is why I kind of laid the last 10 minutes, 15 minutes of the show out. Epstein, crypto, right? And Iran, and and Eric, and then we've got the UFO disclosures that we're waiting for. Eric Weinstein ties it all together, and you know who he is. I mean, this is he's Brett Weinstein's brother, he's deep into technology.

SPEAKER_41 1:41:06

He was invited to go meet with this guy.

SPEAKER_28 1:41:08

Yeah, he was invited to come meet with uh Epstein at his house one time and was like, this is weird. He's put his account on the record when it happened. Like, hey, I went to his house and it was weird. I just want to like put it out publicly what happened. So you know what I mean? Like so he was on with Pierce Morgan and he says, We're gonna see a connection between all this stuff. And in America, there's a secret Air Force that goes after anybody who's stargazing.

SPEAKER_18 1:41:32

Donald Trump has now said he will release all the classified files on UFOs and aliens, and you posted after that an enormous secret is buried here. I have failed to guess it year after year. What did you mean by that?

SPEAKER_45 1:41:50

We have a puzzle that I can't solve. Uh, there is more accumulated anecdotal, circumstantial, uh, and sporadic evidence of an enormous program about UFOs than I know how to dismiss. I've talked to people who have strikingly similar firsthand accounts of um bizarre behavior, uh, either in terms of objects in the skies or the seas, or uh seeming U.S. government employees with no insignia and uh no identification behaving in bizarre ways. I can't explain the amount of first-hand claims from non-actors delivered with perfect sincerity that would make Hollywood blush uh if there isn't a reality behind it. Now, sometimes we we get a look at that. For example, there's a private air force that seems to come down from the skies and destroy equipment of people observing UFOs, that I think turned out to be the CIA's Office of Global Access. I wasn't smart enough to figure out how you could hide an Air Force inside of the United States from a breakaway society, but I think it was just the CIA. So, you know, that was bad for me. I didn't get that right. I think what you're seeing is that there's probably a very long-standing program, particularly involving physics and particularly involving aerospace companies, not as aerospace as we know it, but as shells in which you can put very sensitive stuff that could be FOIA'd if it was found inside of government. I don't know what's in that structure. I think Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is going to be very important. There's a you know a site in Indiana, several in New Mexico. My guess is that um you're going to find out that a lot of these stories, just take New Mexico. New Mexico is going to be the hub that connects atomic weapons, UFOs, and Jeffrey Epstein. And they're all going to merge into one story about power that we don't understand. Human power is going to be centered in a state that we barely ever talk about. And uh, including Bill Richardson at the Department of Energy, which of course is really the custodian of physics and our nuclear weapons that Jimmy Carter converted from the AEC, where atomic energy was the cover story for atomic weapons. So we went from atomic weapons to atomic energy to just energy. And now we sound like uh Bill Richardson went there to be the head of oil and gas. So I think that you're going to find out that New Mexico is going to be the hub that connects all these stories.

SPEAKER_28 1:44:25

Now, in New Mexico, there was a case where there was human trafficking, sex trafficking on base. My friend Earl, that I was in prison with. What was his disclosure? His wife had an affair with his lieutenant colonel, and they filmed pornography with her and distributed it. And then they took her to the Middle East and she was trafficked there. She came back. He started calling the FBI, he started calling everybody he could to try to, you know, raise awareness of this. And then one day he got sick, went to the VA, and had a bogus assault charge while he was at the VA, ended up in the federal prison system for 43 months pre-trial, and then they just dropped his case, right? They silenced it. New Mexico's got some nasty stuff going on, right? And it is. I think Eric is correct. We're gonna find out New Mexico's kind of a hub of a lot of this stuff. Uh Rokana, who it's so hilarious to me. Rokana is one of those people where it's like he doesn't have the right information. He's got a good heart, he's got good intentions. I think he's wrong politically, but we can he's someone that you can have a political debate with, right? You can talk about the merits of tax rates or social safety net or anything like that. But he clearly does not have all the information. And lacking the information, he says really stupid things. Like he's out there in our current environment talking about, I don't know, raising taxes to pay for more stuff.

SPEAKER_48 1:45:55

The idea that having just a 1% tax a year, I mean a theory on uh building wealth when you're you make about 10% every year anyway, in the stock market, and then you're gonna use that to make sure people have health care and child care and education. I just think that who's making 10% exactly, no information. Let's listen. Well, it's gonna prevent a a revolution. You know, think about the guys who went in Venezuela, right? And and like they they stick the landing despite being shot at. They wear the uniform. They give every single thing for this country. And you're saying to me, okay, if you're gonna, let's say, in the countrywide have a 1% tax on wealth that people are gonna leave, like, come on, have some more patriotism. Have some loyalty to the country.

SPEAKER_47 1:46:43

I mean, just a k a caveat to that. I mean, what are you gonna spend the money on? Where's the money gonna go? Well, that's I mean, look at our fucking cities, bro. Look at Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, LA, New York. Tons of Minnesota right now. I mean, look at all this shit. Our cities are fucking trashed. We have a fentanyl problem. Yeah. I mean, and where's all the money going? It sure as fuck isn't going into this country. You know where it's going? It's going to Ukraine, it's going to Israel, it's going to fight war in Venezuela. It's going, it's going everywhere but here. And we all see it. Everybody fucking sees it. Everybody sees another billion, another, another, another more billions allotted to Ukraine, more billions allotted to Israel, more billions allotted to what whatever. You know, it's just, it's, it, everything seems to go out of the country. So why would any business owner want to pay more tax just to have it shipped out of the fucking country? Well, there I agree with you about the waste and the look at the shit that just happened with the with the the learning centers. Nine uh supposedly nine billion dollars?

SPEAKER_48 1:48:00

I'm not gonna defend the waste and the fraud, two things.

SPEAKER_28 1:48:03

But I'm gonna tax you.

SPEAKER_47 1:48:04

I'm not gonna address that, but I want I want you to pay more country, and then I mean, on top of that, I mean, Scott Bessant just said yesterday that there's approximately six hundred billion dollars in fraud in the U.S. I mean, don't you think we might want to get a handle on that before we tax everybody more? Maybe. Maybe. And that's why Rokana's an idiot. Yeah.

SPEAKER_28 1:48:25

Hey, Rokana, it would be just as easy to use your already allocated funds and just get rid of the fraud, then you'll have a slush fund. Yeah. We're clearly overfunding these programs. Josh Hawley was grilling, uh, I don't know, grilling someone who was coming in there, and the the intention of this hearing was to try to abolish the income tax, but he's explaining that the the problem with our social safety net.

SPEAKER_39 1:48:49

Listen to this. You're telling me that the electrician who goes to work every day and clocks in and works his butt off and tries to earn just enough to be able to, you know, make his rent, maybe have a kid or two, put food on the table, his tax money is being used to buy other people, luxury items, cars, yachts, whatever else, and is going to fund terrorism and child trafficking? Yes, sir. A trillion dollars a year on this stuff?$115 million an hour.$115 million an hour. How do they get their hands on it? What are we talking about here? Trends, national organizations, criminal networks. How do they get their hands on it?

SPEAKER_07 1:49:26

They they take advantage of antiquated government systems and processes. They go into programs that they know.

SPEAKER_28 1:49:34

Like the I-9 that I showed you at the beginning of the show, which is, by the way, updated to try to avoid a little bit of this. But the old I 9 was even worse, right? They just take advantage of our antiquated systems. Meanwhile, RioCon is like, we don't have enough money, we need to tax more.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:50

Elected and appointed officials won't touch, and they can steal at scale. They learned a really valuable lesson government never runs out of money. And the probability of getting caught is virtually zero.

SPEAKER_28 1:50:03

You're telling me the probability of getting caught is virtually zero. Here's another example of a huge government boondoggle. You remember the USAID building?

SPEAKER_43 1:50:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_28 1:50:13

Right? So USAID building. So there's two clips here. The newly released body cam purchase from the March 2025 Doge raid on the U.S. Institute of Peace, right? So this was, I think, under USAID. Institute of Peace shows the insane resistance Trump faced. As Edward Korstein, aka Big Balls, told Jesse Waters last year this was the least peaceful of all the agencies to deal with. And it had it had used taxpayer funds for private jets and armory. An armory filled with weapons and contracts with the former members of the Taliban. There are grown, these are grown adults in full meltdown mode because they realized the gravy train was coming to an end. They referred to lawful orders as jack-booted police state actions while refusing to vacate the premises after President Trump issued and ordered firing them and sending the Doge team to clean house. What you see in this video isn't democracy. It's an insight into how wild the entitled DC swamp has grown. Even the officers who were on the seed to ensure order became important after impatient after realizing these defiant bureaucrats weren't even USAIP employees once said. We're their lawyers who were trying to regain access to classified information pertaining to other cases outside of USAIP's purview. George Fute, one of the lawyers there, even pushed to have Trump officials arrested as unauthorized intruders. Elon Musk later revealed on X that USAIP's chief accountant attempted to wipe over a terabyte of financial data, but Doge recovered it and is now with the DOJ for review. Unelected ideologies, fleecing tax players shouldn't lock people block the people's choice. This is what draining the swamp looks like, and it's horrifying just how bad it had all been. So they tried to get access once, the doors got locked, they had to come back days later, and they came back the second time with the Capitol Police, right? And the Capitol Police, because they were there, they were kind of allowed in. But check this out. You've got guns.

SPEAKER_05 1:52:07

I don't. This is the first time anyone is getting a view of what happened inside the U.S. Institute for Peace a year ago when Doge employees went in and evicted the leadership and the staff who had been fired by the Trump administration. We have known since that time when it happened that the U.S. attorney at the time, Ed Martin, uh asked the DC police to assist in this eviction. But what we know now is just exactly what DC police did and what happened inside. DC police, you'll see on this video, coordinated with Kenneth Jackson, who was President Trump's pick to lead the uh the Institute, and Doge employees as they coordinated before they went over to the Institute of Peace, where the president, Ambassador George Moose, his attorney, George Foote, and several other attorneys and staff members uh were inside, locked inside, after Doge had already tried once before unsuccessfully to evict them uh from the building.

SPEAKER_10 1:53:14

So the goal right now is to get access into the building. Yes.

SPEAKER_28 1:53:18

What you learned from this video. Can you believe this is a government building called the United States Institute for Peace, denying access to bona fide government workers who have been assigned by the president of the United States to go in there and take a look at the books like they have every other agency? Can you believe this? This is your government. FBI secret files, hidden budgets, UAP, weapons cash, private private air forces coming down on stargazers. Okay, this is this is what the brocana, I don't think you have all the information here. You want to raise our taxes?

SPEAKER_05 1:54:03

Throughout the course of this, until the very last minute of the confrontation, the DC police commander Jason Bagshaw, who was in charge of this incident that day, did nothing to dissuade them from thinking that. In fact, he let them think that. At one point, George Foote, the attorney, asks uh Commander Bagshaw if he's there to help Doge, and he says no, which we know uh is absolutely incorrect. There's a standoff in the basement between the attorneys for the U.S. Institute of Peace, the Doge employees, and the incoming President Kenneth Jackson. This is a real tense standoff because police are there uh monitoring this, kind of keeping everybody at bay. And at one point, George Foote says, Well, you guys have guns looking uh at DC police who are now blocking their ability to go back up to their offices and in fact making them leave the building. This goes on for a couple of hours. In the video, you see DC police going through the building, forcing entry into doors that had been locked. Can you believe that?

SPEAKER_28 1:55:09

And you know, when they say at Cash Patel and at Christian Home were like, we had secret rooms, they were probably locked. Literally locked. They have crowbars at the United States Institute of Peace.

SPEAKER_05 1:55:23

Crow bars. They've been shut.

SPEAKER_28 1:55:26

This is like evicting deadbeats.

SPEAKER_05 1:55:35

Uh Ambassador George Moose remained. Uh when he finally comes out of his office.

SPEAKER_51 1:55:44

Yeah. We bring it out.

unknown 1:55:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_51 1:55:48

So we thought you guys were our friends.

SPEAKER_05 1:55:51

We are you. And that's really why George Foot, the attorney, and the sat there say they feel like they were betrayed.

SPEAKER_41 1:56:04

We thought you were your friends.

SPEAKER_28 1:56:06

We thought you were our friends after all you did for us on January 6th. Same people, folks. Same people. Same people. Now, this all comes down to elections. This all comes down to the Save America Act. President Trump has promised he will not sign any bills coming from the legislature. So your housing bill and your grift craft and corruption, not getting signed until I get the Save America Act passed on my desk, right? Steve Steve Galese explains this. This is the simplest bill you can imagine.

SPEAKER_11 1:56:36

We worked hard to get the Save America Act over to the Senate. Just as prove your citizenship to register, to vote, and then show a picture ID, just like you do when you get on an airplane or go buy beer. Or, by the way, you could not get into the Democrat convention without showing ID. Every American gets this. If you want to prevent voter fraud, we have got to get the Save America Act to President Trump's desk. We passed it to the House. It's in the Senate. They have got to find a way to get that bill to President Trump's desk if you want to have fair and free elections. Right.

SPEAKER_28 1:57:10

And it's a fight to the death because as Schumer says, we'll lose 20 million voters. Who will lose them? Not Republicans.

SPEAKER_41 1:57:17

Okay. I'm not worried about it.

SPEAKER_28 1:57:19

Senator Kennedy. He thinks they're going to do it.

SPEAKER_06 1:57:23

Well, the the the the the Senate is notoriously slow. Uh sometimes it takes us months to get nothing done. Uh but the SAVE Act is a priority. I'm a co-author. Uh John, I agree with everything the President said in his tweet, though I haven't seen it. Uh John Thune has promised to bring the bill to the floor. I don't know when he's going to do that. Uh but but he is going to do that. I I anticipate it'll be in the next few weeks. Uh will it pass? Uh I think so. It just depends. We've got some free range, the Democrats will be against it. But uh we we've got some free-range chickens on the Republican side and we're gonna have to go gather them up.

SPEAKER_08 1:58:04

So to get to 60, though, i is the thought that this would be a reconciliation bill so you don't have to get to the 60. Is there a single Democrat or are there several Democrats who would vote with you on the save?

SPEAKER_06 1:58:15

I would do it through reconciliation. We could short circuit all of this, but I'm in a minority. Um I I have uh chased uh Senator Foon, my good friend, like he stole Thanksgiving to try to get him to do a reconciliation. Uh this would be perfect for reconciliation.

SPEAKER_09 1:58:34

Okay. Uh I also want to touch on the economy because you heard uh Senator Warren.

So he thinks they're gonna get it passed. I hope so. Again, what does this all come down to, you guys? It all comes down to the same thing it always comes down to. They're trying to weaponize your virtue. So just a reminder: after everything we covered today, don't forget how the government actually operates.

SPEAKER_02 1:58:56

As you we all know, that uh our U.S. tax system is a voluntary tax system, and we depend on people willing every year to sit down, fill out that form, and pay their appropriate amount of taxes. So I really think enforcement is a reward to those who voluntarily comply. And I think if if the public does not see that the IRS is enforcing the laws, we're gonna be at risk of losing people continuing to voluntarily comply.

SPEAKER_28 1:59:21

And it's the same thing. Don't do it, folks. All right, guys, that's it for the show today. We went a full two hours, no private. Good for us. We will talk to you again tomorrow. Bye.

I'm twenty-seven. I'm twenty-seven. I did say something about the old woman. The old man treat me about an empirical work. Hanging on to a stated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. Is there ever gonna be any progress? How do you do, good lady? Um king of the Britons. Whose castle is that? The Britons. We all we are all Britons. And I am your king. No, we are the king. We thought we're an autonomous collective. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictator. Stop perpetuating autocracy in which the working class is. That's what it's all about. Please, good people. I'm in height. Who lives in that castle? Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. What? I told you. We're in a narco syndicalist commune. We take it in turn to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. Yes. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting. Oh, the you should be quiet. The lady of the lake. Um the purest humoring same. Hilda Love Excalibur from the bottom of the water. Signifying problems. Excalibur. That is what I'm talking. Listen. Strange women, nothing importance. Distributive sword is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a memory from the message, not from some classical aquatic families. You can't expect a world supreme executive power. Just because some water is an emperor. Just because some motion big loves the symmetry.
