True Gold is not afraid of the refiners fire

Oil prices spike and pundits scream, but we’re tracking something more useful than headlines: leverage. We start with a few classic Trump clips and the “Uncle Bob” effect, then we zoom out into the strategy layer most commentary skips. If energy is power, then the Strait of Hormuz is a power switch and the way it’s controlled reshapes global shipping, contracts, and who gets forced to pay real market prices instead of living off discounted sanctioned oil.

We connect Iran, Venezuela, and China through the mechanics of cheap energy, shadow trade, and economic warfare. Why would Beijing prefer sanctioned producers? Because discounted oil feeds factories, underwrites cheap goods, and helps build leverage through ports, debt, and long-term subversion. We also get into the argument for how tariffs, dollar flows, and stabilizing supply lines could change the inflation picture once markets can price predictability again.

Then we bring it home: political blackmail, selective leaks, and the claim that parties control members through files instead of voter accountability. Our answer is a bottom-up “political remodel” focused on precinct committee officers and a public promise contract that ties campaigns to measurable voting behavior. We close with an endurance mindset, a “refiner’s fire” story, and why the cure for doomerism is engagement at the county level. If you care about geopolitics, Iran, China strategy, energy markets, grassroots Republican organizing, and weaponization of government, this one threads it together.

SPEAKER_04 1:08

What happened there? Are we on mute? Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. I'll never forget one of our listeners, Hillary. She was telling me that she was trying to hit play on Spotify over and over again, and she didn't realize that her phone had been linked to her daughter's Bluetooth and her and she couldn't hear it. So she'd hit, you know, rewind and hit play again and play again. Funny daughter came in. Mom, he keeps saying good morning, peasants. Good morning, pony boy. Glad you make it. Oh man, as I was waiting for Ron this morning, you guys gotta I I get here early. I get the show all laid out, right? And then I wait for Ron to come in.

At a certain point, I gotta like switch the setup so I can stream. Ron sends me a message. I'm on my way. I'm like, okay. Every morning it's like, yes, Ron made it. If he gets here 10 minutes early, it's like, woo, we're gonna get to talk before he comes in. All right. Guess what? Today is Ron. Um, Wednesday. Yeah, but even more than that, it's April 15th. Oh, shoot. It's tax day. For me, it's extension day. Oh, yeah. All right, guys. I know why you come in here bright and early. And some of you might have stayed up all night long doing your taxes. Shame on you, but here we go. I know why you come. You come for the simultaneous sip.

Trump And Ailes On Loyalty

SPEAKER_04 3:43

Oh, the clip on that. The link is if these guys are your accountant, you're getting audited. I love that so much. Doug Doug says, Good morning, peasants. Uh, John Attackis. Fun. Oh, having fun in Moab. What are you doing in? Oh, you're on your way to Florida. Oh, that's fun. That's cool. You should go say hi to my daughter while you're down there. Carlito and Tiffany, howdy from YouTube. Glad you made it. The one and only YouTube streamer. I love that. Carlitz, greetings, stationary earthers. And Pray the Rosary Daily. Happy Wednesday. So glad you guys have all come in. It is so great. All right. I want to start the show out today. I found this old clip of Roger Ailes, who's got his own set of problems, but we'll ignore that for now. Roger Ailes and Donald Trump. And this is one of those clips that's just it's golden, right? Now, I don't want to be a sycophant for Trump show, but he's the president of the United States. And he makes the news every time he puts something out there. And he's just one of these hilarious characters. And I really like this clip. So this is going to be the basis by which we laugh today. Okay. So this is fun. Let's listen to this.

SPEAKER_06 4:53

And it's a serious clip, too, but it's kind of fun. Through some tough times. Uh, but I'll tell you something. I saw you, I forget. Uh well, I saw you, I I've known you a long time, and I saw you at your peak. I also saw you during that those bad times. And you know what always impressed me? You were no different.

SPEAKER_07 5:08

Well, thank you. That's a great compliment. You were no different. That's a good compliment. You can't take it too seriously. I mean, I know you're gonna be up. I'll be up, I'll be down, I'll be you can't really guys like us, you just keep coming. That's all you can do. And yeah, sometimes it's not easy. They say, come on out to dinner, and you have 400 people and they're looking and staring, and they're saying, I wonder how he's taking adversity. But you learn a lot about yourself and you learn a lot about other people. You learn about loyalty. Uh I learned a lot about loyalty. I had people that I would have bet the ranch on, and they were not as loyal as they should have been. Right. And I had people that I wouldn't have, and they turned out to be, I mean, unbelievable. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. So you just can't tell. It's not color, it's not race, it's not religion, it's not anything, Roger. You just can't tell.

SPEAKER_06 5:49

Uh rich guys are often not well-liked guys. But what's interesting to me is the average the guy on the street, the cab drivers, the uh the guys working on the road cruise, they all you know, hey Donald, how's it going? Hey, they it's almost like they feel very comfortable with you, like you're one of them. And it's I've never quite figured out how you bridged it. The people that don't like me are the rich people.

SPEAKER_07 6:12

That's a funny thing. I mean, they can't stand me. I mean, I have friends, and I have not only friends, I have enemies. Jerry's. They work, they hurt people, they this, they that, and then they call up, can you help me get a reservation at a restaurant? Okay. So, what's the purpose of being rich if you can't get a table at a restaurant? The people that like me are people that you're talking about. The rich people do not like Donald Trump.

SPEAKER_04 6:35

And is that not the case? And that's always been the case, right? Why is that? Why is it that rich people hate Donald Trump? It's because he says the truth. Why do normies like Donald Trump? Because he's like your Uncle Buck. You know, he just says it like it is. I have this Uncle Bob. I have this Uncle Bob, and when when when I got back from my mission and I quickly got engaged to my wife, right? My Uncle Bob pulls up and he's an old crankster. I mean, this is the guy who literally the phrase, Did you put your cranky pants on today, Uncle Bob? You know, he that's him. And he pulls up and he's and he's a Vietnam veteran, and he's he's kind of as in older age, he's getting a little bit laid up. He's earned his crankiness. Yeah, he's not he ever since I've known him, he's always been a little bit laid up. So, anyways, he pulls up in the car and I'm standing there with my wife. He rolls down the window and he and he looks at her, and he looks at me, and she goes, Oh, she's not as fat as I thought she was gonna be, or something like that. It's just great. That's Donald Trump, right? That's Donald Trump. Clearly, this woman has an addiction to food. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_06 7:37

Isn't that amazing as well? I sort of love it. We're back talking with uh one of the most famous men in the country, and uh for good reason. He's also a really nice guy, and he does an awful lot for other people that doesn't get reported in the press. The press sometimes treats you good, sometimes they sometimes they love to hate you, sometimes they love you, sometimes they hate you.

SPEAKER_07 7:55

Well, they're very uneven. Uh some are very good, but I've met some of the most dishonest people I've ever met are in the press. I mean, they're they are literally some of the most dishonest, despicable people. And you know, when you see the public hates the press so much, the public understands some of the most truly dishonest. I mean, people when you tell them something, they know exactly what they should be writing, and they write exactly the opposite for the sake of the story. The truly despicable people in many cases. Tell me about Mar-a-Largo. It's a fabulous house. It's it's the greatest house in the United States, easily by far, by any account. And it's a great private social club right now. And it's something we're very proud of. I mean, it's it's really taken shape.

SPEAKER_06 8:33

So now to join that private club, it costs what,$75,000 a year?

SPEAKER_07 8:37

$75,000 to join. And you know, during the bad times, I'm sitting here with this house that cost a fortune to maintain, three million dollars a year. And I'm saying, is this ridiculous? I started this process to get it into sort of an income-producing thing. But I really did it to save Mar-a-Lago, because ultimately, how many jerks are like Donald Trump that are going to spend this kind of money to keep it? It's truly one of the great landmarks in the country. What did it cost to keep that up? Three million dollars a year. Just to run it. Just to keep it up. And you know what? Three million dollars is a lot of money, but at bad times, it's a lot of money. So I said, you know what? I'll probably have bad times again someday. I want to make sure that this little sucker is taken care of. Kind of like our relationship with NATO. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 9:14

It's kind of like our relationship with NATO. It's a lot of money when you're doing well, but when you're not doing well, it's a lot of money. What year was this? Oh man, this had to be like early 90s.

SPEAKER_15 9:23

So three or four years in the early 90s, that's what they were saying his Mar-a-Lago place was worth.

SPEAKER_04 9:28

Oh, I'm sure it's like 20 million or more today to maintain it.

SPEAKER_15 9:31

But the membership sure, but they were saying it was only worth 20 million, period. Yeah, if you're a judge from if you're the judge from New York. Exactly. That's where I was talking about.

SPEAKER_06 9:42

Very, very successful. Would you ever run for politics, or would you worry about them going after your life? I mean, messing up your life, messing up you too. Would you how would you feel if he went into politics?

SPEAKER_04 9:51

I think he would do terrific. You know, there's a certain dish. Every wife he's ever said had said he would do terrific in politics. Melania, when he said, I'm thinking about running, she says, You'll win.

SPEAKER_15 10:02

Well, those are the kind of women that men need behind him if they're going to be successful.

SPEAKER_07 10:05

You know, yeah, and he he's had at least four of them.

SPEAKER_15 10:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 10:08

So honesty, unfortunately, that you need for running for office. Now it's an unfortunate thing, but you would you would know this perhaps better than anybody in the world, right? Um I have coached a few times. I'm a pretty straight guy, and I'm not sure that somebody that really calls it like it is and says this is what you have to do. I'm not sure that kind of a guy gets elected. Maybe so, maybe not. Everybody wants me to do it. They all want to run, run. I would take a much harder stand, I'd take a much more difficult stand, I would say. Make a couple of enemies, think I'd make a lot of friends ultimately. Uh, but I'm not sure that type of person is really electable.

SPEAKER_06 10:43

If the United States government took a firmer stand with foreign countries, would we be better off, or are we so much now a part of the nation of the community of nations that we can't really afford to offend anybody?

SPEAKER_07 10:54

I think we'd be better off, and I think we'd be far more respected. I I just think that people would have far greater respect for this country if we took a much tougher stand. He went through some tough times.

SPEAKER_04 11:04

One thing about Donald Trump is he has not been inconsistent. But how do you like the fact there where he says, I don't like to be controversial? I don't like to be controversial.

SPEAKER_15 11:16

I also noticed that early on in the uh interview that um the Democrats probably sat back and were like, oh, we can rest easy. He's peaked.

SPEAKER_04 11:25

He's peaked, yeah, exactly. So this is Mehmet Oz talking to Don Jr. about Donald Trump. And again, this is just for giggles, man. But this is Donald Trump. This is your crazy Uncle Buck that we all love, right?

SPEAKER_20 11:37

My Uncle Bob. Office. So he'll pepper Bobby and I usually go to the meetings together. So he'll he'll first start off with uh you know candy bars, that little candy jar he'll call it. He'll hit the red button, yeah, and then comes the diet soda pop, which is your dad argues that diet soda is good for him because it kills grass, it poured on grass, so therefore must kill cancer cells inside the body. So he'll try, please. I'm not even gonna argue this right now. You know, I mean we were we were on Air Force One the other day, and I walk in there because he wants to talk about something, and he's got an orange soft drink on his desk. Fanta.

SPEAKER_13 12:08

He drinks Fanta.

SPEAKER_20 12:09

I didn't want to say the brand name on the podcast. He's got a Fanta on the desk, and I say, Are you kidding me? So he starts to take sheepishly grin, he goes, you know, this sounds good for me. It kills cancer cells. And then and then he tells me it's fresh squeezed. So how bad is gonna be for you?

SPEAKER_04 12:23

Okay, okay, but then maybe he's onto something because I was also said he read his blood work. He's got more, he's got a higher testosterone than any man his age ever. He's got the testosterone of a 17-year-old.

SPEAKER_15 12:37

Fresh squeezed phantas.

SPEAKER_04 12:38

Patrick's pantas. This kills cancer, like it kills grass. All right. I, you know, I found that clip and I was like, can I work this into the show? Of course I can work it in the show. It's the peasant's perspective. The thing I love about the thing about I love about Donald Trump was in his younger years, he he actually went out on construction sites. Like he was a crane operator. And there's this speech. And I have tried and tried to find this clip, and it's to the point where I might have to actually go back and watch the full CPAC speech that he gave. But he talks about his dad said, you know, you've got to watch the pennies. He says, You go around your job sites and you pick up all the extra nails and you pick up the extra lumber and you organize it so it can get used. He says, That's how you make a profit. That's how you build on a budget. Because a lot of guys, they just order extra and it just lays around, there's garbage, and you throw out as much material as you use to build the building. And that was never his mentality. He went out and really did it. I remember when he was um learning about when he was building one of his buildings, and he's in New York, right? So the mob controls concrete companies. But he didn't want to work with the mob. He didn't want to work with them. He didn't want to pay their extortion money, he didn't want to pay their protection money. So, you know what he did? He went and found outside contractors that would truck in the concrete to Manhattan, and he paid extra to them, you know, real wages to bring it in to bypass the mod to get his built the mob to get his building built. Carlitz says, Going to have to switch my pre-workout to two Diet Cokes, extra answer as pertain for cancer prevention. Yeah, and don't forget that fresh squeeze Fanta, too.

SPEAKER_15 14:09

You know, public service announcement. I just quit drinking a lot of Diet Coke just because of I was getting a lot of leg ramps. So you know, you know, I was buying it at Costco, so jury's out on Diet Coke. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Iran Venezuela And The Oil War

SPEAKER_04 14:26

Yeah, Jerry's out on Diet Coke. Okay. So jumping over to this Iran situation, good things are happening. I don't who's see, who is this here? Oh, I don't know. Joe Pollock posted it. Who knows who this is? Apparently, this guy's in Congress. He's got a congressional pen. I don't know his name, but he's talking about this conflict in Iran and how how it's going. And he talks a little bit about the War Powers Act, but more than anything, it's the fact that Trump, just like he said at the end of that interview, Trump has taken a hard stance and he's fixing hard problems that other people would never fix. Why do rich people hate him? Because they're stakeholders, right? They don't operate the way you and I operate in kind of a free exchange where we're equals. They operate from this position of leverage all the time. And Trump is a master at taking away the leverage.

SPEAKER_08 15:11

What about the blockade on that, straight and foremost? Iran was blockading it, and now it sounds like the US is going to blockade it. Do you see that working out? Is this a similar strategy to what we were trying to do in Cuba and maybe even Venezuela?

SPEAKER_10 15:23

Absolutely. I mean, these are tied together, and I think that's another important issue that hasn't been given fair airtime for really anybody is zooming out again and placing the Iranian conflict in this challenge in the context of larger geopolitical players. The Venezuela move was not unrelated to Iran. The cheap sanctioned oil that allowed Venezuela and Iran to fund the ghost fleet, the shadow fleet, the underwater, uh, the underground uh global oil trade that allowed Russia and China to dodge sanctions that provides 93% of China's discounted oil, literally buying oil at cents on the dollar. China loved the status quo of a sanctioned Iran and a sanctioned Venezuela because that gave them guaranteed access to a captive oil market where they knew they'd get cheap product exclusively for them. So this isn't just about defeating Islamic extremists. This isn't just about taking out a socialist narco-trafficking dictator in South America. This is about removing linchpins that are upholding the world order, where this administration is accused of being nice to X and nice to Putin, yet we've taken out the two satellite states that exist as the primary economic drivers of the global discounted energy. So these are absolutely connected. I think your specific question about blocks.

SPEAKER_04 16:34

And remember, energy is power, right? And you need power to run everything.

SPEAKER_15 16:38

We need to we need to figure out who this guy is and amplify his voice because he's saying something here that I've only ever heard you say, and that is the connection between Venezuela and Iran. Nobody else talks about this.

SPEAKER_04 16:51

I know it's because they don't read. It's because they don't pay attention. That's why you gotta you gotta repost and share the show, Ron, because you're absolutely right. This isn't being talked about out there, and why? Because everybody is on the dole of some stakeholder somewhere. I know, right? China. Imagine being Venezuela. Okay, and uh Venezuela becomes a sanctioned country. Why does it become a sanctioned country? It's not just because they voted for a socialist. We do business with all kinds of socialists, right? It's not because it's because they started sending terrorists into the United States and they got embedded with the drug trade. Who propped that up? China did. And what did it do? It caused them to get sanctioned. And then what did China get out of it? Cheap oil. Same thing with Venezuela. They prop up Iran, give them money to then fund bad actors, so they're the proxy bad guy. And then what do they get out of it? Cheap oil. Right. Yeah, the rest that's because everybody loves their cheap flat screen TVs. See, that that's the thing. The stakeholders. I want cheap goods from pro China. I want cheap stuff, and the only way China can make it cheap is cheap energy to run their factories in their economy, slave labor. And so, and it's being propped up by these off-books balance sheet countries, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba's in there too, as far as intelligence, keeping it all together. And so Trump, and then of course you've got the election fraud. I mean, that's its own thing too. And Trump's pulling that string. He's pulling that string. He's like, This is not gonna work this way anymore.

SPEAKER_15 18:16

Got to be honest with ourselves and what things cost. Exactly.

SPEAKER_10 18:27

Let's be clear when Iran declares we're gonna close the straits, that's the equivalent of them going nuclear, because thank God they don't have nukes, because if they did, they would be using them. When they launch all their missiles to the nearest areas of free people living to try to destroy them, if you don't think that they had nukes, they put them on the tip of those missiles, you're absolutely wrong. They would. Their equivalent of going nuclear is closing the straits. That's that's their that's not their power move, it's their only move. And therefore they did that quickly because their their uh regime was dismantled so rapidly and so effectively. So us taking that off the table saying, actually, no, we're gonna close it. And the reason we're gonna close it is we're gonna demine it, we're gonna secure it, and we're gonna make it safe for passage, is um is a pretty slick move.

SPEAKER_08 19:03

Um do you think that, you know, as a senator, you owe it to the service members. Oh, he's a senator. I mean, why why why haven't we seen that? And and do you think that we should do that? I know some senators have been talking about doing an authorization of military force. I haven't seen one since Syria, and that didn't succeed. That was 13 years ago.

SPEAKER_10 19:22

And every time this is brought up, I don't criticize the people bringing it up. I say, listen, this is the constitutional role of Congress. It is if you go back to our founding days, I'm not gonna get into a constitutional history discussion, but I mean, the Congress of the United States, since the founding of this country, has has viciously argued over almost every single military conflict we have. In fact, my state, Montana, the only person to vote against World War II was the at-large Congression representative of the state of Montana, Janet Rankin, who, by the way, was the first woman in Congress who was a female member of Congress before women could vote. So kind of an interesting history there and tie into my current seat. So I don't She couldn't even vote for herself. I knew I would say, Listen, I think we should vote on this. I will vote against it. Um, I will vote for us to continue for the simple reason that you know we we've been in, would you vote for an authorization of military force? Of course, if we had an authority, but that's not what's being offered. It's being offered is, of course, a resolution to end sharp.

SPEAKER_08 20:12

But there's an alternative that you could vote to authorize it to say we uh we do back this as a Congress. And it sounds like you'd be comfortable doing that. Yeah, how come that hasn't happened? There is the War Powers Resolution which says 60 days plus a 30-day withdrawal period.

SPEAKER_04 20:27

You know, it's so interesting. This journalist is so concerned about War Powers Act. It's like, I just told you how we're defeating China. Yeah, but do you think we should use the War Powers Act? I mean, uh I bet you if you pulled down Citadel security, semaphore world economy, I bet they've got some interesting funding sources of this. Again, what did Donald Trump say? Porters sometimes are the most vicious, horrible people. So Admiral Brad Cooper, sentcom commander, posted this yesterday. A blockade of Iranian ports. Now, when Trump said we're gonna blockade the uh Strait of Hormouths, he basically judo moved the Iranians from this, right? He says, Okay, well, you're gonna you're blockading. No, we're blockading it. Except they flipped he flipped the script. It's not blockaded. The strait is more open now than it was prior to the American blockade. It's because of the specificity of what they were blockading. The blockade of Iranian ports has been fully implemented as U.S. forces maintain maritime superiority in the Middle East. An estimated 90% of Iran's economy is fueled by international trade by sea. In less than 36 hours since the blockade was implemented, U.S. forces have completely halted economic trade going into and out of Iran by sea. Admiral Brad Cooper sent comm commander. So what happened yesterday is a lot of boats were able to get out of the Strait of Hormouths. And guess where they're headed? They're headed to the Gulf of America to get filled up. Right. So Trump was interviewed by Maria Bartoloma, and this full interview is supposed to air this morning, but he was asked about the conflict in Iran. But guess what? Good news.

SPEAKER_07 22:00

I had to divert. Because if I didn't do that, right now you would have Iran with a nuclear weapon. And if they had a nuclear weapon, you would be calling everybody over there, sir. And you don't want to do that.

SPEAKER_05 22:12

Well you keep saying was. Is this war over?

SPEAKER_07 22:15

I think it's close to over, yeah. I mean I view it as very close to over. You know what? If I pulled up stakes right now, it would take them 20 years to rebuild that country. And we're not finished. We'll see what happens. I think they want to make a deal very badly.

SPEAKER_04 22:32

Yeah, they want to make a deal very badly. And now that you've completely taken the strait away from them, what do you have? A chunk of desert. You have a chunk of desert.

SPEAKER_09 22:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 22:42

Right? You're not trading by road. Those all got blown up. You're not trading by sea. You got to get past the USS Abraham Lincoln, right? And all the other boats that are allied or non-adversarial nations are getting out of there. And guess what? They're all moving and heading sending their boats for oil at least to the Gulf of America. And they're going to buy it from America and Venezuela at market prices in the in the world economy that's not off books balance sheets.

SPEAKER_15 23:09

Which right now is probably peaking. Yeah. So, you know, we're paying five and six and seven dollars a gallon. That's what the going rate is. So come get it. It's probably peaking.

SPEAKER_04 23:19

Yep. You know, it's probably gonna drop. So Trump posted this this morning. China is very happy. Are you sure? China is very happy that I'm permanently opening the Strait of Hormouts. I am doing it for them also and the world. This situation will never happen again. They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran. President Xi will give me a big fat hug when I get there in a few weeks. We are working together smartly and very well. Doesn't that beat fighting? Yeah, you choked off China. You got rid of their cheap power supply, right? They've been able to just get these boats. And remember, China was doing the same thing to us. They had the Panama Canal, they had Venezuela, they were destabilizing our domestic economy, which gave a lot of wind under the sails of people like Marjorie Taylor Green. He's like, we can only focus on domestic stuff. Look, if there was ever any troops to the fight them over there, unless you fight them here, this situation exemplified that. We could spend the rest of our lives chasing around individual Venezuela trend agua members and Iranian bombers and terrorists who came across the southern border domestically. And there's an endless supply of those people. There's only one Nicholas Maduro, there's only one Gayatola, right? And so if you took them out, all of a sudden, all those Trende Agua members that are running around Venezuela, you know, running around America, they're not getting any funding. I will say this. When I was in prison, I had this conversation with this Trende Agua guy, and he was super candid. Like he did not care one bit. And I asked him, he had Venezuela tattooed and he had Trend de Agua on his bicep. It was kind of interesting. Apparently, there's not a lot of that, but he was a proud member of Trend de Agua. And he told me, he made the comparison, he spoke really good English. He made the comparison. He's like, you know how you guys send people like overseas to Afghanistan? He's like, Well, that's basically what we are. Like, we're soldiers for the cartel. And he didn't ever identify Nicholas Maduro as his captain. You know what I'm saying? But he was like, My family's getting paid. Like I'm in, I'm doing a prison sentence. And when I go home, I'll go home. And it's like coming home from deployment. I'm just on deployment. This is just part of the gig. Right. So I got caught, so I do my time, but my family's getting paid. With Nicholas Maduro gone, what's the chance his family's not getting paid anymore? You know what's funny? He said he would vote for Trump. He's like, we gotta vote for Trump. It's hilarious. Anyways, so that's that's that's the thing there. So Trump is putting China in a position where they have to play nice. And here's the thing this is um Andrew Branca, and he's an attorney, and he does a lot of he does a lot of great analysis. I enjoy watching his posts, and he's talking about what's happening with this trade stuff. Now, here's the thing: what's going on here, and Stephen Miller said this best. He says, Iran's got like a two-week window before they can't store the oil anymore and you have to shut down their wells. And then starting the wells back up is a whole process. And he says the world's gonna move them by. Once new routes are established, supplies for oil, contracts are written, they're not gonna want to come back to the bad neighborhood. You know what I mean? Like it's sketchy over there. You got to get to the Strait of Hmutz, you're passing by Somali pirates, you're dealing with the Indian Ocean, which is always precarious. And all of a sudden, it's like you don't have to deal with that. You can come into the nice warm waters of the Caribbean, you go to Houston, you get your oil, it's beautiful people.

SPEAKER_15 26:41

I wonder how many more extra days it takes to transport from America versus you know wherever you're going.

SPEAKER_04 26:47

It doesn't even matter.

SPEAKER_15 26:48

I know.

Strait Of Hormuz Blockade Explained

SPEAKER_04 26:49

Because it's just about getting it, it's just the flow. It's about getting the supply going. It's getting the supply going. He says once that supply is going again, Iran has a very short period of time where they can get boats to go, okay, you got one or two boats from Houston and Caracas or whatever. Come back, come back, right? Once once the world moves on and doesn't need to go load up at Crag Island, they just won't go back. They won't go back, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 27:11

Yeah, it's like they didn't have a plan for the closing of the Strait of Hormuz. Does this not look like a plan? Does this not look at a plan? The Gulf of America packed with super tankers racing to load up on U.S. oil, record petroleum exports and gas, global energy demand is shifting directly to the United States. Economic boom incoming. It's unbelievable. POTUS just created a massive new demand for U.S. oil at a time when global prices are already skyrocketing. The blockade taking effect today will further disrupt China's supply lines, driving even more demand towards American energy markets. China needs the Strait of Hormuz far more than we do. A brilliant strategic master stroke by President Trump. I have to agree, all of this, everything that's been happening for the last year and a half, has been about China. Making sure that we control the Panama Canal, not China. Making sure that we controlled Venezuelan oil, not China. Making sure that we control the Strait of Four moves, not China. Making sure that we have our boot on the neck of China's puppet, Iran. Matt Forney here writes, Trump won, Iran lost. The entire global energy market reshuffled itself to accommodate the closure of the Strait of Four moves. And it just so happens that the world's biggest producer of oil and natural gas is, guess who? The United States of America. Iran will never recover from this. Why would people need to risk the strait? And of course, other things are happening too. Breaking the East-West pipeline is now across the Saudi Arabia, is now operating at its full capacity of 7 million barrels a day, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. It's almost, this account notes, as if Americans figured they needed this two-week ceasefire to get the pipeline operating at full capacity. So when Trump agreed to the ceasefire, was the ceasefire the point you think? I don't think it was. I think the ceasefire, I mean, I'm sure he would have taken a deal that was satisfactory to the U.S., but he didn't need a deal. The ceasefire had benefits for America completely independent of any kind of deal. For one thing, it provided two weeks to get things like this pipeline going, two weeks for people to realize, hey, we don't know when the straits are going to open. We better start buying U.S. petroleum. Uh it reset the statutory permission for Trump to deploy U.S. troops back to zero. It's another 60 days now. Another thing it did, by the way, was of course, it drew out the existing current Iranian leadership. Right? Who did Iran send to these negotiations? They're most senior guys. And during that two weeks, Iran is doing stuff too, but everything they do involves the relocation of personnel or the relocation of military resources. We're watching all that. To the extent they moved anything, we know about it. To the extent they've reorganized their leadership, we now know who those people are. They have personalized missiles assigned to their attention. This was nothing but a win-win-win for Trump. Amazing. But he doesn't have a plan.

SPEAKER_04 30:20

Oh, Trump taco, Trump taco, he was gonna end the civilization. Do you see the ridiculousness of the short-sightedness of the pundit class and the short-sightedness of the people whose news outlets are funded by Qatar or funded by China or funded by some NATO European Union foreign interest? Do you see how weak and ineffective all of these people have been in this? And Trump just masterclassed everybody. And we had to go along for the ride. I mean, I'm not saying Trump gas is cheap right now. I mean, that's hurting a lot of people. And you know there's a lot of people out there that are like, this is gonna affect everything, it's gonna affect inflation. But it turns out when oil peaks around the world and you're the top producer and everyone starts buying it from you, as soon as people realize there's some peace, not peace, right? Not peace, but that the situation becomes predictable, right? As long as it's predictable, investors and markets are gonna do what they're gonna do. Because what's happening in the Strait of Hermoots doesn't affect some company in Utah aside from energy prices. And you can factor that in. And once you factor it in and you have all the costs figured out, your stocks are gonna go up. And you know what I mean? And the other thing, too, is this is something that I talked about earlier on. There is a wave of money, there's a lot of money, American dollars distributed all through the world. And one of the things we talked about earlier was in federal reserves and central banks, they instead of holding treasury notes, they were holding gold reserves and it and it crossed. They're dumping their dollars. Well, where were those dollars going? Eventually they make it back home. Trump is preventing inflation by causing tariffs because the government can snatch some of those dollars before it floods our market and inflates our dollars. And he's able to use it to do what? Buy back debt, which every week the haters are out there. Look, the treasury bought back a bunch of debt. Where do you think they got the money to buy back the debt? It's from the tariff revenue, which is why our deficit has been dropping, right? They're not printing money to buy back debt, unlike the haters. They're taking it from the tsunami of dollars that were already headed back here after the Biden regime when they printed money and the rest of the world was like, you know what? Hold it on the dollars. It's depreciating in the bank. Let's but get let's buy gold. And then that money ends up coming back home because it's an IOU that I have to pay. Does that make sense? So it gets it gets redeemed here. And so by doing that, and now you've got all that money that's gonna make it back home anyway.

SPEAKER_15 32:56

And it's a tsunami.

SPEAKER_04 32:57

And now they have to use it to not only pay tariffs when they're trying to sell us stuff, but now they have to use it to buy energy, specifically countries like China, because they didn't buy energy from us. And now they are. Now it doesn't matter where they're buying energy in the world, they're buying them with dollars. So that props up the value of the dollar. Big time, which is why Hassent got on CNBC yesterday and said, listen, the only thing that's the only thing that's inflating right now is the price of energy.

SPEAKER_13 33:28

And that's gonna come down once the supply lines are all rerouted and become static. Those things that you're mentioning are energy related, and and anyone who looks at a chart for energy prices will see that they've gone up uh quite a bit uh since uh the situation with Iran began. But uh the president is confident that it can be resolved, and when it's resolved, those prices will go right back down to where they were before. And then you see that and you and you pile on top of that the fact that core inflation is running around 0.2 percent. In fact, for the consumer price index, it had it rounded up to 0.2. It was actually the 0.1 range. Uh and so when you've got that, plus imagine if if oil prices start going back down because the situation resolves itself somehow, then you could be looking at inflation close to zero.

SPEAKER_15 34:17

When it might actually feel rich, we won't be, but we'll feel like it. Rich people hate me.

SPEAKER_04 34:22

Rich people hate me. Why do they hate you? Because I just do what we're supposed to do, common sense. Trump is like your uncle, my uncle Bob. He just says it like it is. So I bet President Xi and Donald Trump have been communicating. Now keep in mind, China is a massive adversary. And my wife has been talking about well, what would happen if the world just said enough, we're done with Trump, right? And they teamed up on us. World War III situation. China, Russia, who knows what other nations all decide, no, we're coming for America.

SPEAKER_09 34:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 34:53

And she asked that, and I said, I said, China doesn't fight. She said, What do you mean? I said, China doesn't fight. Like their culture, nothing about their culture fights. And she said, What about Genghis Khan? I said, He's Mongolian. I was like, in fact, they built a defensive wall of the Great Wall of China to keep him out because they're not offensive fighters. I can't think of one example in in China's 5,000-year history where they have gone out fighting. They've never been imperial like that. It's just part of their culture. Okay. Now, do they do subversion? Yes. Do they do economic warfare? Yes.

SPEAKER_15 35:29

Did they invent gunpowder? Yes. For the purpose of fireworks.

SPEAKER_04 35:33

Yeah. Yes. Are they are they nefarious actors? Yes. Do they want to control the world? Yes. But they're not going to do it through warfare. They're bad fighters. Okay. Now, do they have a huge military? Yes. But is it kind of like a Tempkin village? Yes. Right? Do they have any advanced technology? Not that we don't have because they stole it all. And that's the thing. Well, China has hypersonic missiles. I know they stole them from us. But they don't have, it's not like when America had a technology technological edge with the nuclear weapon, and then we got hypersonics, and then everyone else got hypersonics, and then we kind of got behind on hypersonics, but apparently now we're caught up, right? We they don't have the discombobulator. I'm sure they will soon enough. But that's the thing. They're always just playing deterrence. And I said, even with the Strait of Hormouth, right? When they do all these show of forces and all that kind of stuff, look at what they're doing politically with excuse me. Look at what they're doing politically with Taiwan. They're trying to get Taiwan to vote their way back into China. And that's what they do. Same thing with us. They're trying to get us to become leveraged and in debt and all that kind of stuff. And then they'll just take over the Panama Canal. Then they'll just take over the port of Houston. They'll just take over the they uh it was in Trump's first term where China actually bought the LA port and Trump had to block it.

SPEAKER_15 36:52

Oh yeah, I do remember something about that.

SPEAKER_04 36:54

That's how China does it. That's how China does it. And how do they do that? Because they've got the cheap energy, the cheap oil, and they get other countries to put themselves out there as martyrs, Venezuela, Iran, and others, in order for them to basically take over. So their business model is different. So they're not gonna team up with other countries and then attack America, right? They're not gonna do that. Trump was asked about Iran, uh, China. Are they providing weapons to Iran? Now, clearly, Iran was buying Chinese and Russian weapons. And Trump put out that post that said, anybody selling any weapons to China, it's a 50% tariff, period. Like no exemptions, nothing. You're not we're not gonna do any carves out for silicone chips or anything like that. And apparently Trump and Xi have been riding back and forth, and Xi promises not selling weapons.

SPEAKER_05 37:42

You've got a major meeting coming up uh next month with uh President Xi. I want to get your take on China and how the shift in oil, particularly because of Iran, particularly because of Venezuela and what you've done, even your comments on on Cuba. How does that change the dynamic of this meeting with President Xi?

SPEAKER_07 37:58

I don't think it does. I mean, he's uh somebody that needs oil. We don't. He's somebody I get along with very well. He just wrote me a beautiful letter. Uh he wrote you a letter? Yeah. He did. He responded to a letter that I wrote because I had heard that China's giving weapons to I mean, you're seeing it all over the place to Iran. Uh, that China's Did he say he's giving them? And I wrote him a letter asking him not to do that. And he wrote me a letter saying that essentially he's not doing that. Okay.

Trump Memes And Media Outrage

SPEAKER_04 38:30

I would I'd love to read those letters. I'm sure Trump's was like, hey she, you're selling weapons to China. Probably not very diplomatic. And you know, if you know the Chinese character, they're probably squirming in their seat. Like, how do we respond to this without being blowing ourselves to his level? Now, as you know, Trump doesn't like to be controversial. I thought this was so funny. So, in response to the whole conflict with the Pope and you know, the the image he put out that sent the world on fire because he was a doctor, ha ha ha, right? He posted this this morning. Now, for the audio listeners, this is the this is the Sistine Chapel, right? The finger of God, God touching Adam. And I, you know, it's got Trump's face superimposed over God. Oh my goodness, it's so funny. I did want to point something out though, right? In in a real essence of art, you know how interesting this is? What's this right here, Ron? What's this shape here? That's the cross section of the book. Oh, that's a brain, a brain, yeah. And God's in the in the mind of man, reaching and touching the physical form, anyways. I thought that's I think that's really interesting. But you know, Trump doesn't like to be controversial or anything. Unlike the Pope, who is pretty controversial, turns out Canoca the Great posted this and Trump reposted it. Not good, Trump. Three exclamation points. It's fascinating. This is from Canoca the Great. It's fascinating to see what social media reveals about a person before they become the Pope. Before he became Pope Leo the 1014, Cardinal Robert Privost was on Twitter trashing Trump, criticizing Vance, calling for open borders, promoting COVID vaccines, and endorsing stricter gun control, and re and tweeting after George Floyd. Quote, we need to hear more from leaders in the church to reject racism and seek justice. This account was deleted the day he was declared Pope. So it went through and it had a bunch of these posts. So the whole idea, you know, the Pope's not political and he just needs to focus on morality and blah, blah, blah. Guys, he's TDS infected, right? He's TDS infected, which is why Trump really likes his brother Leo better. This is another really funny one. Trump posted this this morning. Again, you know, Trump, Trump doesn't like to be controversial. The radical left lunatics might not like this, but I think it's quite nice, President Donald J. Trump. And then here's the post Irish for Trump. I was never a very religious man, but it doesn't it seem with all these satanic, demonic child sacrificing monsters being exposed, that God might be playing his Trump card. And it's got Jesus looking over the shoulder of Trump whispering in his ear. Oh my gosh. Uh, he doesn't like to be controversial or anything. Now, of course, he had that, he had the post where he had he, you know, some people say he was dressed like Jesus, some people say he was dressed like a priest, some people say he was dressed like a doctor. So this is now circulating around. And again, just for comedy, this is so funny. This is uh Trump as the greatest doctor ever. Are you suffering from a serious life-threatening illness?

SPEAKER_07 41:38

As your doctor told you, you're probably going to die. My name is Dr. Donald Trump, and I have helped millions of patients with conditions just like yours. Cancer, heart disease, ALS, you name it. Conditions your doctor said were untreatable. I've seen them all and I fixed them all. I use an advanced technique that the cheating medical establishment don't want you to know about. The results are, frankly, incredible. Nobody gets results like this. They have the greatest results.

SPEAKER_01 42:08

They gave me six weeks to live, but then I called the hotline.

SPEAKER_19 42:14

I was clinically brain dead, and my wife was about to pull the plug when the doctor saved my life.

SPEAKER_07 42:22

If you or someone you love is suffering, don't wait. Don't let the corrupt medical establishment tell you what's possible. Call 1-900 Not Jesus today. Let's make your health great again.

SPEAKER_09 42:34

Jeez.

Building A Bottom Up Party

SPEAKER_04 42:35

Oh my goodness. Oh man. You know, Trump, Trump is just one of those characters. There's not going to be another Trump for a long time. There's not going to be another Trump for a long time. And one of the things that we're really working on is we're starting to, I'm starting to work on and circulate a document. And if anybody wants this document, please reach out to me. It's a document about a political remodel, how to do a political remodel for the Republican Party. And it's a it's an 80-page document and it is a playbook on how to take your county back, how to take your county back by working through the easiest thing to do, the precinct committee officer position. This is the easiest way for you to take your county back. And if you take your county back, and then adjoining counties and other counties in the state take their counties back, the state is taken back. That's how you take the state back. The Republican Party is modeled to be bottom up. Democrat Party is very top-down. And the Republican Party and the UNI Party has tried to model that. And we've lost the grassroots. That's not a political machine. That's an independent person's machine. The Republican Party has to be the machine. It has to change its brand. And we have a playbook to do that. That absolutely will work. If you read this playbook, it's 80 pages, and you get to the end, you'll go. This will work. It's a step-by-step process. It's acknowledging some things we have to acknowledge about the party, about the situation in America, the battlefield that we're fighting on, and then how to take the party back at the local level where you can do it. One bite at a time. We're not going to have another Donald Trump who, you know, what's the difference between Donald Trump and a wreck, Donald Trump's hair and a raccoon? Seven effing billion dollars, right? You're not going to have another guy like Donald Trump who acts like your Uncle Bob, who's going to be able to airdrop in and take over the party. And he's unfortunately having to use tools that we don't love, executive power and stuff like that. The president, the governor should be the weakest person in politics. They should be completely dependent on what the PCOs and the state and the committees, and you know, it should be bottom up. But because we've been a total socialist communist country for almost 100 years now, unbeknownst to many of us, right? It's become top down. So he's utilizing those tools to make some systemic and co and big changes. But if we really want it to stick, we if he's planted the seed, if we want it to water and grow, we have to get involved at the local level. And a lot of that involves becoming aware. And that's why we talk about this stuff. Like Ron, what you said. I'm the only one that's talking about the connection between Venezuela and Iran and the whole threat from election fraud to oil to all that stuff. Nobody wants to talk about that. It's not fun to talk about, and the price of your TVs might go up. Yeah. Unless, of course, they open a factory here in America, in which case they'll go up automatically then. Yeah. So uh JD Vance did a speech at a turning point conference, which is really sad because Erica Kirk couldn't go because of all the threats on her life on this thing. And he talks about make sure I got the right one here. He talks about being America first. And that's the thing. We have to be America first. And before you're America first, you have to be state first. And before you're state first, you have to be county first. I have said this since I understood this in college. Right? I changed me, I changed my family, I changed my neighborhood, I changed my town, I changed my county, I change my state, and then we change the federal government. It's a radiate outward mentality. If we try to change the federal government when you're and you don't even make your bed in the morning, as George talks about, it ain't gonna work. Right. And so that's where we have to be the change, and we have to start thinking America first. And I would say, even thinking more micro than that, you have to start thinking about your county. We have to take Kitzap back. We're going to start the take your county back campaign. This is all in the works behind the scene. And this is gonna be the platform where we project this out. We're going to empower you to take your county back, just like we have to take America back. We have to be America first, not the Marjorie Taylor Green version where you ignore the crises that are actually stabbing you in the back over, you know, like I ran in Venezuela. But once you get those problems fixed, it's gonna, and which thank you, thank you, Donald Trump, for taking that on, right? We can then be hyper focused on our local counties. And uh JD Vatts explains you have to know where your loyalty lies.

SPEAKER_11 47:12

I had somebody who came up to me, and I'm sure a great person, like a wonderful person, who was a Ukrainian American in Cleveland, Ohio. I was campaigning for the Senate. There are a lot of Ukrainian Americans in Cleveland, Ohio. And this person got really agitated at me because I was saying we should stop funding the Ukraine wars. Okay, and I still believe that, obviously. And it's one of the things I'm proudest that we've done as an administration is we've told Europe that if you want to buy weapons, you can, but the United States is not buying weapons and sending them to Ukraine anymore. We're just out of that business. So very good thing. But but these Ukrainian Americans, again, a kind person. They probably didn't vote for me after this conversation, but he was kind of sticking his finger in my face saying, You need to support my country. You need to support my country. And I said, Sir, with all due respect, if you're an American, your country is the United States of America, not a place that you immigrated from, whenever that was. And it occurred to me, and I know this is the last question, I'll try to be quick here, but it occurred to me that my father-in-law, who came from India, who moved to the United States, who got an education, and became an American citizen, that never once, never once in my life has he ever said, you have to do this or you should do this because it's in the best interest of the country that I came from. And I think that attitude, to the extent that attitude dominates among the new generation of Americans, that makes Americans feel welcoming towards people because everybody, again, whether your family's been here for 300 years or one second, to be an American means to look out for Americans first. And that's the perspective we have to take to our immigration policy. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04 48:51

That's exactly right. Where you stand is your community, right? If you immigrated here from Ukraine because things are so rough over there, don't sit here and be like, spend all our money over there. Yeah, you can have brotherhood and love and stuff like that, but we have to fix our country first. And you are American. So when your loyalty is split like that, that's why we have a lot of the problems we have. And so you have to be loyal to where you're at. That's one of the things, and we've talked about this ad nauseum, Ron. Should we leave? Is Washington pushing us out? And I've decided for now to try to stay and fight, right? That's not gonna fight. We're just gonna remodel the party and we're gonna take power back because I I shared this earlier in the week, right? One of the Republican Party members went to a Democrat meeting, and the guy that's running is basically a Republican. He's got a pocket constitution, he's talking about the Bill of Right. What the heck? They're dissatisfied too. The ground is ripe for a huge remodel, and we need to change our messaging for the party, get all on the same page, and then literally go do it. I love what Steve Stern's doing. He's putting butts in seats, he's trying to get people at their county, just get there, right?

SPEAKER_15 50:00

But now we need to give them a plan so that they don't just go and we gotta make a place for the conservative Democrats to land.

And Steve Stern both. They're doing great. And as you know, we had Steve Stern on the show last week, which was awesome on Friday. Yes. Okay. So this Eric Swalwell situation has uh really become something quite nasty. So let me jump here. Uh New York Post posted this yesterday, and this is kind of all over the news. And I'm kind of ready to move on from this just because it's sick. But this particular woman did a press conference yesterday. She described in pretty graphic detail the sexual assault rape that Eric Swalwell did. He he drugged her and she has video proof and she has text messages. And she walked into the LA Sheriff County's office and and did it. She gave him all the information. It's not past the statute of limitations. He's in serious shit. Uh-oh. Okay. Eric Swalwell, good chance he's gonna go to jail. Oh okay. Good chance he's gonna go to jail. So he's just not some face on CNN that's saying it, that's alleging it. She walked in with proof and filed a report. So this is now big league. Okay. Stephen Smith was on with Jesse Waters, and this is the big dirty thing that we all know. We all know this happens. And when stuff like this pops up, it's like, well, yeah, that explains things. Part of our political remodel is we're going to make this blackmail completely ineffective. We don't care. We don't care. To run for politics, you're probably gonna be a narcissist, you're probably gonna be if you're a man, you're probably gonna be a womanizer, you're gonna be all those things. Accept it, get over it, right? All the way back to the founding of our country, our founding fathers knew they were deeply flawed people, but they also knew if you gave them all the power, their flaws would come out. So they defuse the power and they gave it to us, the people, ultimately, and we have neglected our power. So we're gonna take it back through the through the remodel project. We're gonna remodel the party so that the PCOs have power. And one of the things we're gonna do is we're gonna have a contract with the politicians. As they make campaign pol polic promises, they're going to write a contract. They're gonna write out what their campaign promises are, and they're gonna sign it. And then every rally they do, every radio show they come on, we're gonna ask when they make new promises, everybody who's there can sign it. And when they go on another show, we add the new promises, and the new audience signs it, having seen what he'd previously promised. So we have it written down.

SPEAKER_15 55:12

Kind of like a written-down blockchain.

SPEAKER_04 55:14

Yes, and we'll put it on the blockchain. It'd be great. And what's awesome about that is it won't be like Hillary Clinton, where she's like, Well, I have one policy for you guys behind closed doors, and I have one policy for you guys out in the public when I'm on a radio show.

SPEAKER_15 55:26

And they totally contradict each other.

SPEAKER_04 55:28

Write them down so we can't have contradicting promises, and it's gonna be a running contract up until the election. And once they're elected, that's the contract will hold them accountable. I know this is gonna sound horrible. You want to go cheat on your wife? If you didn't put it on the contract, say we didn't do that, we don't care. But if you vote against one of your policies, big or small, you violated the contract, and now we're gonna run against you. And we have the machine. We're gonna control that machine as individual PCOs. You want me to go door knock? You want me to go campaign? You want me to be the point person for politics in my neighborhood? Honor the freaking contract. And what that's gonna do is it's gonna negate the blackmail. Because right now they can promise whatever they want, but at the end of the day, because they have a blackmail file sitting somewhere, that's the contract they have. Vote the way the stakeholder wants. Remember the billionaire with Eric Swalwell? Yeah, you can live in my house. Yeah, I'll support you for governor. You broke the trust. That's a contract he had with Eric Swalwell.

SPEAKER_15 56:23

Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 56:24

Right? We're not doing that anymore. The contract's gonna be public, it's gonna be between you and the PCOs and the constituents who hear you give those promises and they will sign the contract, right? So you'll be able to say, Oh, I violated this promise, and who signed it? You'll be able to name the names of the people that you broke the contract with. Okay. So here's what Stephen Smith says, and this is the dirty secret. And it's not just the Democrat Party, it's parties in general and politics in general do this. Oh, we have you here.

SPEAKER_02 56:53

Uh has the president said anything about Swalwell? He I don't know if he said anything. Has he been following that?

SPEAKER_14 57:01

Why? Has he had a bad week, Jesse? I haven't got to watch this as he might be busy on with bigger matters of war and peace. Couldn't have happened to a better person. But look, here's the most important thing if we have 10 seconds on this, and I'm sure you would agree with this. The most important part about this story, and look, Swalwell is a scumbag. He is a terrible person, the worst of the worst, the lowest of the low, the most dishonest and the most dishonest. But the real story here is how the Democrat Party controls its members through blackmail. It's got a blackmail file on all of its politicians, and it uses them to leverage and control them until it's time to release it. That is how sick and twisted the Democrat Party is. That's the next thread we've got to pull that here, Jesse.

SPEAKER_04 57:45

All right, it's a dangerous business. We'll see how it shapes. And whoever runs the Democrat Party was clearly running the Uniparty at large. Okay. They had the contract, they had the file. We are gonna take it from them. We're gonna have a public contract. We're gonna say, look, you violated the public's trust, the voters' trust. We just listen again, I'm not saying we want our politicians to go be immoral and do the things that they do at all. But what matters to us is not that. Let's just like, you know, we all have that crazy Uncle Bob. We still love it, one way or the other. But what matters to us is how you vote, because that affects the price of steak on your table, eggs at the grocery store, fuel at the pump. It affects all the allowing Venezuela to become a failed state in our own hemisphere. It allows Iran to sell oil off books to China, who then we have to buy their cheap TVs because we sent our factories over there because the cost basis was lower. You see what I'm saying? Gone are gonna be those days if we successfully pull off a political remodel and we're gonna do it. There's no reason we don't do it, and we have to. As Marjorie Taylor Green says, we have to start thinking past Trump, right? We do, because whoever comes after him is gonna be in that political grinder. I hope it's J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio or one of these guys, but we can't think that they don't also have a file somewhere, and everybody's got a file. And so the way we negate it is we make it a non-issue for him. Cheryl Atkinson pointed this out. She goes, Remember when the Obama FBI visited CIA chief David Petraeus? And who was David Petraeus? He was a general, then he went over and became the CIA chief and let him know that somehow they knew he was having an affair. But they also told him, don't worry. They said they determined that didn't break any laws and they'd keep it quiet. Then a year later, when Petraeus wasn't playing nicely with the Obama folks on the cover-up regarding Islamic terrorist nature of the Benghazi attacks, suddenly Petraeus is outed for his affair and forced out of office. The timing is interesting, no? It's almost as if power brokers in government collect files or dirt on important people and then let the people know the files or dirt exist to keep them in line. Then, when and if folks fall out of line, years-old allegations and stories are leaked to the media, and the media, as well as the target's former political allies who would normally defend the target because of his political status, suddenly all demand resignations or whatnot, and they destroy the target. It sounds like a movie plot, but we know this sort of things happen, thoughts. Now, the situation with Eric Swalwell, it's interesting how it developed. And we don't necessarily know exactly how it developed, but clearly there was the video leak. There was the leak of him in the restaurant with the lobbyists, and there's the leak of him in a hotel room. Originally it was reported as a house. Apparently, it was a hotel room, right? And there's video evidence of this behavior. So now it becomes undeniable. But in the process of doing this, I'm sure Eric Swalwell has his own list of people who he knows are involved. Clearly, Galego has some issues, right? Clearly, some other people have some issues. So there's a good chance that he has some stuff. So once the leak is out there and he needs defense, if the party doesn't defend him because it would cost them political capital, he becomes a liability. So what's the best way to shut him up? Put him in prison. Silence his voice by like by letting it go the full distance. So you have this accuser who's been around the whole time. Why didn't she go to the sheriff's department two weeks ago? She had video and stuff. No, what happened was the party came to her and said, now's your go time. Now go do it because we need to completely obliterate him so that he can't say anything else and be taken seriously. I remember when Mendez was arrested and he said, If I go down for this, everybody goes down for this, everybody does this. Well, now he's in prison and can't talk. Right? Here's Galego, and he gave a little press conference where he basically denied knowing anything about this. He and Swalwell called themselves best friends. They campaigned together. And Kerry Lake, the thing about this guy, Galego, he's next. His dad, by the way, was a cartel person, he was a cartel attorney. Like he's not coming from a good place. And obviously, I believe got his seat because of the stolen election against Kerry Lake. And the idea that he's not got problems is stupid. The idea that somehow he's a clean person in all of this is stupid. Here's Carrie Lake in 2024 talking about Ruben.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:11

Because the people have got to know before they vote who this guy is. His ads leave out a whole lot of despicable treatment of women. His ads don't tell you that about the time that he harassed and threatened a 20-year-old female intern. And when she complained about it, she was fired. His ads don't tell you about the fact that his fellow Democrats down at the state legislature gave him the nickname the troll because of how creepy and degrading he was with women. And his ads, his ads don't tell you about the time he told a Latina woman that because she was a Republican, she wasn't a real Latina. Can I hear it for our incredible conservative Latina women? So she outed him, right?

SPEAKER_04 1:03:09

But yet the system just remains silent. And we just leave, well, he harassed someone. Well, every congressman harasses someone. But you know what's worse than all is the way he votes. Do you think he actually represents Arizona? No, he doesn't. He represents whoever has the deep hardcore blackmail files. Sure, the little harassment scandals bubble to the surface and Carrie Lake can campaign on it, but all campaigns are dirty. You know what I mean? The thing is, is people don't care. They should, but they don't. What they care about is how you vote. But once you get these guys into office and they vote against the people, it doesn't matter what the grassroots groundswell is because there's no accountability. We have to change that. And it doesn't, it's not just our normal politicians. Pray the rosary daily. You said, send me your document. Reach out to me afterwards, I will send it to you. Okay, so pray the rosary daily. Uh, excuse me.

unknown 1:04:02

Woo!

SPEAKER_04 1:04:03

Pony boy. Pony boy's rocking the air. Pony boy just sent another tip to the Rumble wallet. Thank you so much, Pony Boy. Pony Boy is fan number one, man. Uh Carlito, we need to get your wife to start a Peasants Perspective Etsy store or part of her. And we don't want to be the merch guys, right? But I would love to direct the merch for you and get some shirts like you know, space, space race team player one and different things. So yeah, Pony Boy, you're you're fan number one right now. We should get a fan, a peasants perspective fan number one. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_15 1:04:34

Even if he loses this, he needs to get something.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:37

And he's been around since season one back five years ago. That's what I love about it. I remember when he joined the living room in Telegram. We have the living room chat for hardcore fans. If you want to be on that, you got to figure out a way to reach out to me in person and I can add you to it. But uh Pony Boy, when I added him, I was so concerned about Feds being in the chat and I didn't recognize who he was. And I contacted him and he he vetted himself to me. And I was like, okay, good. You can be in there. I was really nervous about who was getting into that living room check.

SPEAKER_15 1:05:06

No details about how you vet yourself here.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:08

Yeah, it was my only social. Well, he just, you know, I found out who's a person. Okay, so um Altman.

unknown 1:05:18

What's his name?

SPEAKER_04 1:05:19

Sam. Joe Altman. Oh Joe Altman, who has been on top of this Dominion voting fraud. He's the one that was on the Zoom chat with Eric Coomer, CEO of Dominion, says, We're gonna make sure Trump doesn't win, that whole thing. And he's been in lawsuits and depositions. He's been all over the Stina Peters things. He's over in Colorado. And he's got a judge that wants to come on his podcast and tell tales. And this is really interesting because the judiciary, just like Bukele says, they'll form a judicial cartel. When you look at what the judges have been doing to Trump, there's this assumption that they're just politically left, that they just disagree because Trump is a king or overusing executive power or whatever, whatever it is. But there's a good possibility. It's more than that. That the judges, just like the politicians, are part of this whole blackmail thing, and they're violating your rights, and they're doing all kinds of things behind the scenes to stack the deck against you. How is it possible that they have a 92.8% conviction or 98.2% conviction rate at the DOJ? And the state's no different than that.

SPEAKER_15 1:06:18

It's incredible.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:19

It's not just because they only arrest bad guys, it's because of what they got going on behind the scenes.

SPEAKER_17 1:06:24

Gotta tell you, I got a judge that literally wants to come on my show that I'm trying to figure out how I can shield that judge's voice who wants to tell me about the fact that they basically have violated everyone's rights in the judiciary. Right? And wants to talk, wants to talk, wants to squeal about ex parte communication, the fact that clerks inside the the uh the judiciary are having conversations and talking to each other about different cases, that there's pay-to-play schemes that are going on. There's all this going on inside of the judiciary right now in the state of Colorado. And you have Tina Peters still in jail while a judge who frankly, this little boy came forward and said, This is what happened to me because of this judge. And now we're we're gonna we're gonna verify the veracity, but it's kind of like the woman that that that accused President Trump of rape. I have to believe the little boy, right? Don't I?

J6 Convictions Vacated With Prejudice

SPEAKER_04 1:07:21

So some kid has been violated because of a judge's decision, and there's a judge that is clearly having a crisis of consciousness, wants to talk. So they're gonna figure out how to do that. And you know, this judge doesn't want to be outed publicly because it's probably you know, be impeached or something by the legislature. You can't let the heck out of the bag. Clerks talking to each other, strategizing from the judicial side, how to sway a case one way or the other. This is devastating stuff. And along this topic, right, the United States Trump started the weaponization of government working group that was supposed to go after and figure out all the weapon, you know, the way the government was weaponized and try to hold government accountable. Well, there was a big move yesterday in the J6 cases. If you remember the night I was pardoned, I'm sure everybody was paying attention that night, January 20th, 2025. Really good, really good night for me. He got out of prison about six years early. And uh and uh Donald Trump signed a pardon for 1,580 defendants, but except for 14 of them. 14 of them, he commuted their sentence to time served. Now, these primarily were made up of oath keepers and proud boys that were charged with sedition. Okay. And there was a lot of questions why didn't he do that? Is that politics? Is there something they know that we don't know? And I've always had this working premise that their pardon would come later, that stuff would have to happen that would show that there was weaponization against them specifically, or you know, there would be something in the background that that would be something that Trump could do later. Now, this has not helped these defendants. And I got let out of prison, walked out, showed up, talked to you. You're like, How are you doing financially? I'm like, dude, I got like four dollars. Like, like there's been no relief. So coming home to my family is a big enough relief. But as far as trying to put our lives back together, we've all been just flailing in the wind here. And one of the things I used to always say when people like, I didn't sign up to be fodder, I didn't sign up to volunteer for that. When Trump asked for us to come to January 6th, I didn't think that we were gonna be involved in something like that. I made my decisions, I owned up to him, I was accountable. Okay. I didn't take a plea deal, but I didn't sit and, you know, do the thing. So at the end of the day, you recognize like when a private signs up for the army and he's trying to get VA benefits and get his college loans paid for and stuff like that, he didn't sign up to go kill 14-year-olds in Afghanistan. No, right? But that's part of the gig. I made my choices, I gotta live with them. That's just what it is. But these particular guys that didn't get pardoned, and it's been tough for the ones that have been pardoned, right? It's been hard for them to get jobs and stuff like that. But these guys, they had VA, a lot of them were veterans. Their VA benefits have been suspended, their retirements have been taken, they still have active criminal records. I mean, just because you got commuted, it's just like you got out of prison and ran your whole cycle. Like you're still all on your records. So there was a lawsuit to basically try to, they were in appeals and they were trying to bring forward all this information and stuff. Well, yesterday, and this is posted by Dominic Box, friend of the show, one of my fellow inmates. He was one of the interviews we did, I think we did Christmas Day together. And they they had a the defense was about to do a motion to dismiss the case. And Janine Perrot, the DC attorney, filed a prosecution motion. So this is the government's motion, an unopposed motion to vacate convictions to remand for dismissal with prejudice. Uh this is a consolidated appeal involving four defendants. These are the oath keepers, or one of them, Ethan Ordeen was a proud boy. Ethan Ordeen, Joseph Biggs Zachary Real, and Dominic Pizzola. The briefing schedule in this case is currently suspended. The government respectfully requests that before the defendants are required to file their opening brief, the court vacate their convictions and remand so the government may move to dismiss the indictment with prejudice under the rules of criminal procedure. This is huge. This is huge. Oh, there were more. Robert Minuta, Edward Vallejo, Joseph Hackett, and David Marshall. So this is all of them. This is all of them. Stuart Rhodes, Kelly Miggs, Kenneth Harrelson, and Jessica Watnes. This is all of them now. So they've all now had the government motion to dismiss their cases with prejudice. What happened?

SPEAKER_15 1:11:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:30

What happened is this working, and apparently this next week, Ed Martin and his weaponization group is going to release a J6 report. So they've gone through that J6 report and they've decided that these individuals were in fact targeted. We also found out last week through John Solomon that the FBI ran the tabletop exercise where they were going to maximize penalties, prosecute even the smallest crimes, and inflate crimes up to the point of sedition for these people. And so what's happened is the research has been done by having their cases opened. My case is dead, right? My judge just dismissed my appeal, dismissed as moot. Okay, well, I'm pardoned. And we're not even going to argue. Nothing left. There's no motion. There's nothing for me to bring to court. If I found smoking gun evident that my prosecutor was working with the FBI to target me, or it doesn't matter. It's moot. It's over. These guys had open cases. And so because it was in open litigation, they were able to make this motion to dismiss with prejudice, which means it's over. It also means that they were imprisoned improperly, which opens the door for restitution. It opens the door. Like I think the statutory is$60,000 per year for in improper incarceration or something like that, which is a fraction of what it should be in these situations. These people's lives have been totally destroyed. And so this is a big deal. Now, some of the media is just pissed off and they're all upset. Well, here's the thing: Todd Blanche, who has been the ire of concern here that he was blocking a lot of things. It sounds like, and I've thought this all along, and I hope this came out on the podcast. Todd Blanche has been Donald Trump's defense attorney. And he was a Democrat. And Peter Ticklin, who's now my current attorney on the restitution gig, um, has kind of pointed him out as the problem. Here's the thing Trump clearly has a plan. My wife asked me yesterday, you think Marco Ruby and Pete Heggseth knew everything that they were going to do when they took the job? I'm like, yeah, they did. They've had a game plan. This is what the four years are going to look like, and these are the moves we're going to make. Move the bishop first, then the knight, then the pawns, then you know what I mean? The game has been projected. And there's moves and counter moves, as Q used to always say. And so as they navigate this, they know they're going to put an executive order. It's going to get challenged in the courts, it's going to work its way through. Like they know the lay of the land. That's the nice thing of Trump. And this is what Bannon points out all the time. He had four years in office, he learned how the DC works. He then spent four years in the wilderness, became a victim of the weaponization himself. And now that he's come back triumphantly, he can he can do it. If he'd have gotten straight eight years and had won 2020, he'd have been up against the same deep state. He'd have had Bill Barr hanging around. It would have just been more and more of the same thing.

SPEAKER_15 1:14:13

He'd be gone by now, and we would be sitting in the same suit that we're in now.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:17

Instead, he was able to back up and regroup. And he attacked him early. He attacked the universities with funding. He attacked DEI. He did he brought Doge in and got rid of USAID. I mean, he just starts on his foreign campaign to go deal with Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, on and on it goes. He puts China in a box. And now we're somewhere this summer, we're going to see this renewal. We're going to see inflation at zero. All the factories are, you know, that have been being built for going on two years now are going to start opening up. And we're going to see this huge renewal. Now, we still have to deal with the election apparatus. We still have to deal with the midterms. This is moves and counter moves. But Todd Blanch, I think, has been part of this. He was part of that four years in the wilderness. They're having a defense meeting. They're talking about Stormy Daniels. What do you like what he did in that trial or not? He probably had time to talk to Trump about what if I win? What if I win? What do we have to do? What information and how how does it have to be let out? Now, a lot of people think, and this has never been my opinion, that Trump should have just pardoned the J6ers, cut us a check, made us whole. He should have pardoned the people that were targeted for abortion, uh, pro-abor uh anti-abortion protests, make them whole, you know, on and on, fire this person, fire that person. He would have blown all of his political capital. He would have made all those enemies, as he says, of the rich people. Instead, what he's had to do is he's had to corner them. You got to corner him into a position where the louder Eric Swalwell screams, the deeper the hole he digs for himself. Does that make sense? You got to put him in these boxes to where they they can't not react. You've been saying Iran was bad forever. Well, now that we've done it the way we've done it, and now we're basically at the end of the campaign and the shipping's going, and you know, all these billionaires who've completely opposed Trump are like, oh, my stocks in oil are going up. You see what I'm saying? All of a sudden he's changed the lay of the land. Todd Blanche was on Fox News and he was talking about weaponization of government, and he was focused on the pro-life protesters. And as they've gone through and looked at weaponization, they discovered something really interesting about collusion between the federal government, the FBI, and the DOJ, and NGOs who promote abortion and how they were dealing with the Face Act charges. And I promise you, you're gonna see the same thing when it comes to J6. You're gonna see the same thing when it comes to people who battled for election integrity, right? You're gonna see the same pattern.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:46

I do. And I disagree, not because it's just my opinion. I disagree because of the work that we did over the past year at the department understanding what happened that led to these completely inappropriate results. And prosecutors have a big say in sentencings in the federal system. The judge ultimately imposed a sentence, but what we saw is prosecutors arguing for really harsh sentences, inconsistent with what they should have been doing, and inconsistent with what they were arguing when it was exactly the opposite. And we saw internal emails, internal correspondence, which is now part of the report, where Department of Justice prosecutors are working hand in hand with NGOs and nonprofits to target and go after pro-life pro-life individuals who were not breaking the law. Okay. And I'll tell you what, there's no emails, there's no emails in my inbox from NGOs telling me what to do. And it's disappointing. And look, I hope the American people can see um the work that we did over the past year of trying to understand what happened. But once they see it, um, I think folks will be frustrated and disappointed.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:53

I do. And I just got a judge in Colorado who, if it's happening at the state of Colorado, it's happening in every state, and it's happening at the federal level, where clerks and judges are colluding behind the scenes, and they're probably getting emails from the same NGOs who are meeting, and he talked about ex parte meetings. That means meeting with counsel without the defendant there present, or vice versa. You're probably gonna see that there's been this swamp. There's been this absolute swamp of stakeholders and people who are pushing for big sentences and prosecution of this, but not that, and let this guy go. Let you know what I mean? Emails, they've got the paper trail. It took two years to get here. So while we knew this intuitively before, we didn't have evidence. We didn't have evidence of it, but now they've got it from the back end. They're seeing the prosecutors' inboxes, right? And what's gonna happen is some judge, like in Colorado, is gonna blow the whistle on the judiciary as well. And it's gonna, it's, it's blowing up in their faces right now. One of the other things that we found out this week is we got the Atkinson transcript release, Michael Atkinson, the OI, the OD and I or OIG for the intelligence agencies, and he talked about how Chio Morello was a biased actor. That whistleblower complaint was completely hearsay, should have never even been delivered to Congress. Shouldn't have even been delivered to Congress. It should have just died right there on his desk. But instead, they weaponized the process, they got it to Congress, and that's what started the Ukraine gate situation. This is Chanel Rion reporting on this, and she's one of the early reporters. She's been reporting on this the whole time. But now, instead of the lone woman in the wilderness, now you actually have the documents from the Department of Justice to prove that there's been coordination. This all is one thing. Lisa Monaco, one of the people involved in Russia Gate, was involved in Ukraine Gate. She was on the leadership team that had to determine whether or not I, Taylor, was remanded after my trial or not. So Lisa Monaco, this big wig player in all of this, who's been part of all the collusion narrative, made a decision about me. If she can make a decision about me, and you end up under their microscope, she could have made a decision about you, the same people. This is all one conspiracy from Russia gate to Ukraine gate to face acts prosecutions to January 6th prosecutions to election integrity people's prosecutions. It's the same cabal of people. Well, they were all attacking their power. They were all attacking the people coming after power, using every lever in the book they had to do, including probably blackmail files on Republicans who they asked to stand by. Just do your show vote, but let's make sure it goes one way. Thank goodness. Thank goodness, some Republicans, there was enough Republicans in the Senate for both impeachments that are clearly not on that blackmail or have their own interests that voted not to impeach Donald Trump. Because had just had the margins shifted just enough, you would have had a bulk, a chunk of Republicans that would have voted to impeach Trump because they would have had air cover from their party. There was just a string of people. It literally could have been four or five senators that were like, I'm not voting for impeachment. He didn't do that. You see what I'm saying? Four or five Republican senators might have held at bay the rest of the party so that there wasn't like a 90 to 10 vote on impeachment. I mean, that's how close we came to losing it all. Here's Chanel Rion.

SPEAKER_00 1:21:36

That report about Shiramela was correct. And now we know Shiramela worked directly with Biden on Ukraine affairs. In fact, one of my sources, former diplomat, and now wrongfully sanctioned Andre Teleshenko, was in the room with Shiramela when a Ukrainian contingent met with Obama and Biden to discuss Ukraine affairs. Shiramela was an Obama-Biden guy. And he colluded with Schiff. The implications I raise at the end of my broadcast from the White House briefing room stands today more than ever. Schiff is indeed in deep trouble. And the one person in all of Washington who knows this story inside and out is, of course, my friend and now FBI director, Cash Patel. A man who debunked the entire Russia hoax while working as a senior aide for Congressman Devin Nunez on the House Intel Committee. Cash not only remembers, he has very strong feelings about what needs to happen to Adam Schiff.

SPEAKER_18 1:22:41

He should be investigated because he lied to the world about his interactions with Charmella, who is a whistleblower and I can't stress it enough, that started a presidential impeachment.

Cash knew all this, but there was only so much he could do back then.

Refiner’s Fire And Anti Doomer Talk

SPEAKER_04 1:22:55

Now that's not the case. So the wheels of justice churn slowly, but they grind finely. And we've got people in there who know the game, and now they're providing the evidence and the reports to do something about it. You've got Tulsi Gabbard with her recent releases. The walls are closing in. How great is that? Now, there's a lot of doomers out there. There's a lot of influencers, other podcasters that are out there selling you anti-hopium. I can't be doing anything. Cash is corrupt. Blanche is corrupt. And I've maybe I get on the bandwagon from time to time. Again, I reserve the right to change my opinion on a dime. New information has come out. I just saw that interview from Todd Blanche. Yeah, I've got emails. We're proving that they weaponized government. Well, that's different than just blanket saying they did and then paying people, or you know what I'm saying? To the January 6th defendants, the 14 of you that just got your cases dismissed with prejudice. By the way, that's better than a pardon. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your deployment into the swamp. Just like the kid who signs up for college benefits for the military and finds himself marching in the Kandahar Valley. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your sacrifice. I know it was hard. Continued sacrifice. Continued sacrifice. I know it was hard. We didn't volunteer for this openly, but we did in our actions. Thank you for standing by Trump. Thank you for being the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. Thank you for continuing the fight. It's hard. We want to go after Blanche. We want to go after Bondi. We want to go after Cash and Bongino. And maybe they deserve some criticism. Okay? It lights a fire under their butt, but don't be a doomer. You always have a choice. I don't like the word suffering. I like the word endure. We endure trials and challenges. I I when I was on my mission in Brazil, I was in an area that was out in the jungle. It was a forgotten area of the mission. We were very far away from civilization. And it was this little town called Heal Largo. That means wide river, fat river. This filthy river that came out of the jungle, and you know, but it was a very poverty-stricken town. I mean, it had a couple supermarkets, it had like a marcado, a little supermarket. It was Padalili Pipero, which is cobblestone roads everywhere and dirt roads, donkeys in the streets, pigs in the streets, chickens. You know, it was it was out there. I actually don't know what the population of the town was. It might have been 10 or 10,000, 15,000 people, but it was like this little dot in the middle of the jungle. It was an interior city, hot as sin. This area had had no activity at all. Now keep in mind, I was on a mission. So our job was to baptize and grow the church. And it we we met in a garage. The whole church was as big as our office here. It was a garage door. We'd have like our little church meeting. The garage door would have to be open with fans on. You could barely hear the speaker. And cars would drive by, and you know, the exhaust would drown out the speaker. And down there, they have a lot of cars that drive by with like advertisements and like loud speakers, you know. It was like, oh my goodness, it was horrible. And there was maybe 20, 25 members of this branch. And I was kind of down and out. I was feeling really discouraged. Like I'd been on the mission for eight or nine months. I'd had almost no success in either of my areas.

SPEAKER_15 1:26:16

Hard to feel the spirit.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:17

It's hard to feel the spirit. Yeah, it was hard to feel motivated. It's like, you know, if we've got such a great message, why is it so hard to do this? And I went and met with the mission president. And I wasn't like wanting to go home or anything like that. I was just kind of wanting a transfer. Felt like I was being punished out in that area. What a fresh start. And my mission president said something to me that stuck to me forever. He quoted a Chinese proverb and he said, Taylor, healargo is the is the forno. It's the furnace. And he put his hand out like this in a cup and he said, True gold is not afraid of the refiner's fire. Those challenges burn off the dross. It weeds people out. True gold is not afraid of the refiner's fire. It stuck with me my whole life. So when I went into prison, when I went into that challenge, I had to be accountable for my decisions, but I knew I had a choice. I could be the dross or I could be the gold. That's your fork in the road. So to the doomers out there that feel like we can't fix the party, we can't fix the politics, we can't overcome stolen elections. We have to. We have to. Donald Trump did it. Why can't we do it? You don't think you can change the school board? Easiest election to win. Donald Trump's already peaked. Easiest elections to win if you have the right attitude. So here's JD Vance addressing the doomers out there who are like, why can't we pass the Save America Act? Why can't we win? The Democrats are going to win the midterms and it's all over. Well, you know what? At least it's on the floor. At least awareness has been raised to keep the pressure on. This is over, the dross will be burnt off. And what will be left is the golden era. If we as Americans believe that we're great, if we as Americans believe we sit on top of the heap because of our values, our democracy, our republican form of government, if we, the people, believe that our government is supposed to be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, that's gold. You can't be afraid of the challenges. You can't be afraid of the refiner's fire.

SPEAKER_11 1:28:29

Ah, you know, there's no point. No, no, no, no. Because or or let me give you another example. The SAVE Act. Okay? A lot of people want the SAVE Act. I want the SAFE Act. I've been fighting for the SAVE Act literally since day one of the administration. And I've seen a lot of people saying, what the hell's the point of voting for these guys if, you know, you've got three Republicans joining with the Democrats to prevent the SAVE Act from passing, or I guess four Republicans. And here's my response to that. Yes, it is annoying to me that there are only 45 or 46 Republicans who will fight politically to get the Save Act passed. But you know what? Ten years ago, that number was 35. So the answer to frustration is engagement. Don't give up on this process. Get more involved in this process and demand more from people like me. That's how we take our country back. I just think it's important to say that.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:23

And that's what our political remodel is going to accomplish. We're not just going to demand more, we're going to have a contract with these politicians. A contract signed by the politician who is a representative of the people, and it's a contract with the people. And it's going to be a contract we can enforce. Because if they break that contract, we'll just run someone else. These election cycles are short. These election cycles are short. And we're going to change the culture of the Republican Party so that politicians want to fulfill the contract to keep their power so that they can go to the cocktail parties. If their motivation is the cocktail party, we're not going to let the blackmailers have the contract anymore.

SPEAKER_15 1:30:04

Well, imagine you go to one of these parties and you get to stand up as the candidate and you get to tell everybody exactly how you completed your contract. Exactly. And then everybody's like, yeah, now what's next?

Fed Spending And Crypto Reset

SPEAKER_04 1:30:18

Exactly. Think of what we can accomplish. As Donald Trump said at his his acceptance speech at the RNC, right? Expect more. Expect more. But recognize this is a furnace, man. We gotta burn off the draws. But if we're real gold, we're not afraid of it. And that is something that's a quality I see in Donald Trump. Whether he's down or up, he just views it all as part of the game. You have to keep coming. Don't give up the ship. Right? You have to keep coming. Donald Trump was talking about the Fed chair, Jerome Powell, the center of all evil, except for Jackal Island, the Federal Reserve. And the the idea that Jerome Powell won't step down if there's not a replacement. And Donald Trump addressed this directly.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:08

That I would have done for$25 million, that's going to cost maybe$4 billion. Don't you think we have to find out what happened there? You know, we have other jobs like that, like the railroad in California, where it's, you know, 25 times more than it was originally going to cost. And I think they're going to end up abandoning it. And that's Gavin Newsom. Or as I call him Gavin Newsom. Who's so bad. But that's the one. But I think the Federal Reserve building is just as bad. And so whether it's incompetence, corruption, or both, I think you have to find out. I really do. I think you have to find out.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:43

So you're not going to drop the probe?

SPEAKER_07 1:31:45

I'm not playing. I have to find out.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:47

And he said he's not leaving if um, you know, well, then I'll have to fire him.

unknown 1:31:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:52

He's not leaving on time. I've held back firing him. I've wanted to fire him, but I hate to be controversial. You know? I won't become controversial. But uh and you think Kevin Borsh could get confirmed? You think Tom Tillis is going to give you a fine out. He might die, but that's why Tom Tillis is no longer a senator.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:11

He's not running again because he broke the contract. Okay. He doesn't like to be controversial. How consistent has he been? That same phrase in the early 90s into 2026. I hate to be controversial. Donald Trump, you're anything but not controversial. Okay. As Lisa at 1776 likes to say to me, Taylor, there's nothing about you that's small. And I'm like, are you talking about my gut or are you what are you talking about? She's like, I know, I know that you don't want to do this, but there's nothing about you that's small. And it's like, yeah. Yeah, that's right. Just lean into it. Lean into it. Now the new Fed chair who's going to replace Jerome Powell is Kevin Walsh. And he just disclosed that he invested in Bitcoin Lightning platform FlashNet. And he's going to be the chairman of the central bank of the Federal Reserve. That's a pretty big deal. That is a pretty big deal. Um Scott Bessant, who wrote the article in the Fed in the Wall Street Journal about it's time to pass the Clarity Act to get clarity on crypto regulation and Bitcoin regulation. He mentions something here in this little speech he gave at the Institute of International Finance. Stakeholders. He's talking into the Institute of International Finance. And he says the modern banking system was created by Britain Woods after World War II, where the United States became the predominant bankers for the whole world and you know the main supply of money and all the countries started holding money in in reserve notes. And of course, if something takes hold and it becomes normalized, people don't think it can ever change. It's the way it always has been. It's not the way it always was. And he mentions this. He says, We created the banking system at Bretton Woods. Uh we could do it again.

SPEAKER_16 1:34:04

Banks were invented around Bretton Woods, which was post-World War II Europe was or and Asia was a unique time in America, and it led to incredible prosperity across the world. So why can't we do that again? And why can't we focus on growth? Like what are the tools? What what is hindering growth of these economies?

1776 Live And Closing Notes

SPEAKER_04 1:34:34

And what's happened is the fiat system has gotten bloated and over big, and you've got the Fed chair spending$8 billion on a$25 million remodel. You've got USD I USD USAID spending billions of dollars at who knows where. You've got pallets of cash going to Iran, broken. It worked. It gave us a massive amount of prosperity after World War II, but eventually, just like everything, it becomes overgrown, decays, and corrupted. So it's time for a reset. And who are the people coming into place to reset it? People that believe in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. So a new era is around over at 1776 Live. We are addressing this, right? We're talking about how to get out of debt with our courses, equity class. We're talking about how to create generational 12 wealth and wealth-generating vehicles in the form of trusts.

SPEAKER_22 1:37:39

I'm twenty-seven. I'm twenty-seven. Well, I can't just call him man. You could say Dennis. I didn't know you were called Dennis. I did say something about the old woman, but from behind. Well, King. Oh king, how do you get that, eh? Looking the workers. Hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. Is there ever gonna be any progress? How'd you do? How do you do, good lady? Um king of the Britons. Whose castle is that? King of the British the Britons. The Britons! We all are we are all Britons, and I am your king. No, we're the king. I thought we're an autonomous collective. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship of self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes are. That's what it's all about. These good people, I am in haste. Who lives in that castle? 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 turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.

SPEAKER_21 1:38:59

Yes.

SPEAKER_22 1:39:00

But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting. Yes, by a simple majority in the case of pure internal affairs. But by a two-thirds majority in the case of quack. Or do you be quacked? I'm your king. The lady of the lake. Her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bottom of the water. Signifying by divine providence. I used to carry Excalibur. That is why I'm your king. Listen, strange women in pounds, distributive thoughts is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derived from a mandate from the masses, not from some philosophical aquatic ceremony. You can't expect to worry about supreme executive power just because some watery tart for authority. Just because some moist and bitch loves a similar mate. I'm on a bit. Do you feel the pressure, me? You thought you
