Your Truck Is A Cop Now

If you feel like the truth keeps getting “updated” after the fact, you’re not imagining it. We start with a blunt premise: if a small group can control the news people see, they can steer the opinions people form. From algorithms and streaming data to legacy media incentives, we walk through how modern information ecosystems reward outrage, protect institutions, and punish nuance especially when the stakes are highest and emotions are hottest.

We dig into the weekend’s political violence headlines and the downstream effects of inflammatory rhetoric, public smears, and “manifesto” thinking. We also look at how the conversation predictably shifts toward disarming regular people instead of confronting radicalization, incentives, and accountability. Along the way we react to high-profile clips and comments from across politics and media, and we keep coming back to a simple standard: you’re only as good as the information you have.

Then we zoom out to what’s next: AI, data centers, and the surveillance economy that’s moving from your phone into your car. From in-cabin cameras and biometrics to secret legal interpretations and mass data collection, we map the risks to digital privacy and the right to travel. Finally, we connect privacy to money with a practical breakdown of fiat inflation, debanking, de-dollarization, and why Bitcoin self-custody keeps coming up as a solution for people who want sovereignty over their lives.

Peasants, Power, And Morning Banter

SPEAKER_21 0:11

And when they went for the three handle, bread! Do you know what's mean?

SPEAKER_00 0:20

Let me take the bomb.

The Simultaneous Sip Ritual

SPEAKER_15 0:24

We're getting screwed, man. Every time we turn around, we're getting screwed. Well, the revolution's gonna be for podcasting for sure. It's the little guys, the little guys that take the money of everything. It's gotta be peasants, ma'am. We're just peasants. Every one of us. You watch those old movies, you see the peasants in the background with the kings and kings walking around. We're those people. We're those people. Pray the Rosary Daily. Good morning. Happy Monday, pony boy, bright and early. Good morning. Hope you're having a great day out there on the Texas oil fields, pumping oil and selling it to Japan and China. Screwing over Iran. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Glad you guys made it. All right, we'll just kind of shoot the shiz here for a couple minutes. Do you have a good weekend this weekend, Ron? I did. Nobody got shot. Um nobody broke into your house. So that's a win.

SPEAKER_18 1:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15 1:37

That's great. Uh I rented a car to head over to Spokane. It was a Bronco with a soft top. So we took the top down for a little bit. It's kind of fun. Yeah, it's kind of fun. Carlitz, good morning from Delta Airlines. Are you on the plane? We have gone stratospheric. We have gone stratospheric. I haven't noticed any uh any downloads coming from the International Space Station, if it even exists. Atlanta is cold. Oh man, it's cold here still. We've got another couple weeks before it starts to actually warm up. All right, I know why you guys show up bright and early on a Monday morning. You're here for the simultaneous sip. And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tinker, a chalice, a snine, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid. This morning I've got coffee with whipped cream on top. And fill it with your favorite beverage and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, a simultaneous sip, and it starts right now.

SPEAKER_07 2:40

If you can control the news that people can see, you can control the opinions that people form, data and information coming from all of these streaming platforms. Just think about all the data, all the viewers' data, all the algorithms that they now control and imagine the things that it enables them to do in terms of controlling news and information. So we know that the winners are going to be a small group of people, including the president who doesn't want bad press or information he doesn't want out there out there, but the losers could be all of America. If you can control the news that people can see, you can control the opinions that people form.

Shooting At The Press Dinner

SPEAKER_15 3:23

And that is the truth. If you can control the news people see, you can control the opinions people form. What is it that I have said for half a decade now on air? We're only as good as the information you have. So this is going to be a common theme today, right? It's the information, it's the ecosystem, it's the inform, it's the algorithm that's out there. Something really big happened yesterday, or on Saturday more accurately. Do you know what it was? Uh what? Oh my goodness. Please tell me you didn't miss this. All right. So this was live reporting.

SPEAKER_22 3:54

I have been in touch with top officials at the White House. This is what I can tell you. Um, and the details are actually pretty specific now. That the shooter charged the magnetometer closest to the front door, took a shot at a uniform division service agent. Uh and he, you know, at that point, they don't know whether he's they haven't confirmed if he's alive. Yeah, the shooter is in custody, I'm told, uh, at this point. Everyone is okay. And the last thing I could tell you is that, you know, the White House does not want him to go back, but yeah, uh I'm sorry, what I I'm having a hard time hearing.

SPEAKER_15 4:39

Uh okay, so what happened was you had the White House Correspondence Center. This is the presidential roast, right? Where they have some comedians and they give some speeches, and then the president gets back and he punches back. The White House Correspondence Center. Okay. So a shooter, a teacher of the year, traveled from California by train to Chicago and then to the District of Columbia and checked into the hotel the day before with guns. And he came down to the White Horse Correspondence Center. Who's there? Everybody. A lot of the cabinet members, members of the press, and he went to the magtometer, and that's where he started shooting, and he opened fire at a secret service station, hit him in the chest, bulletproof S stopped it. They ultimately took him into custody. This is the third credible, like actually brought the gun and had the gun pointed towards the president, assassination temp of Donald Trump.

SPEAKER_22 5:30

And anyway, the president does want to go back. The shooter took a shot at a Secret Service uh member uh just at the ballroom, which Kevin, you raise a good point. How did he get it to that point? There's agent return fire, uh, nobody knows for sure at this moment whether he's alive or dead, uh, and then it's created chaos in the in the room. But what we can tell you for sure is that this was, you know, one shot. I'm sorry, multiple shots at the closest Mag uh Magdometer closest to the front door and took a shot at a uniform division secret service agent. And anyway, it at that point we don't know the condition of him for sure. We do know the president was escorted to safety. Everybody in the room, I'm told, is safe and secure. And now the question is I'm sure that the Secret Service is not gonna want him to return to that room, but every indication is the president wants to go back.

SPEAKER_15 6:28

Yeah, so what happened was the shooting happened, they evacuated everybody, everybody down, everybody down. It was like quite a few shots. You know, now we're not gonna spend any time today showing all the chaos clips and stuff like that. Okay, because it doesn't matter. But I'm blown away, Ron, that you didn't know about this. Again, only as good as the information you have. It's just Monday morning, right?

SPEAKER_18 6:46

Man, I put my phone down, I spent my time around the farm, I went to church, I was just living life.

SPEAKER_15 6:53

I can't even believe they didn't talk about it at church. Man, the church has just gone so anti-MAGA, they can't even talk about it.

SPEAKER_18 7:00

Dude, the I want to say something so funny. So the Trump, whatever this thing was, was not mentioned.

unknown 7:11

Oh.

SPEAKER_18 7:11

You know it was mentioned? What? Trip to the moon.

SPEAKER_15 7:18

That's great. The space race made an appearance at church. That's awesome. But not the shooting at the president. So after the event, Donald Trump kind of wanted to just go back to business. He doesn't like letting these shooters get their way and disrupt everything. But ultimately they got rushed back to the White House, and he ended up doing a late-night press conference, and he was asked this question.

SPEAKER_26 7:37

Believe me, because you know it's my life, and I want to live because I want to make this country great. That's why I want to live. But when you're impactful, they go after you. When you're not impactful, they leave you alone.

SPEAKER_15 7:50

Isn't that the truth? How many assassination attempts did Joe Biden have? And I'm pretty sure Americans were fairly upset at him for a handful of reasons, right?

SPEAKER_18 7:58

I don't want to measure our impact by the number of bullets that come at me.

Violence, Branding, And Media Spin

SPEAKER_15 8:02

Yeah, that's your wife would be very upset. I know as soon as Trump's out of office, you two are going to jail. We're playing clips. Uh stay away from a protest, ladies and gentlemen. So uh RFK was interviewed. This was a couple weeks back at CPAC, and this is this kind of goes along with this theme. You're only as good as the information you have. You have a cabal of information peddlers. You've got the Democrat National Convention and you have the media. And Donald Trump implies constantly that they're like one in the seam, they're in bed together. And that media has put out this message to Americans that Donald Trump is a narcissist, that he's evil, he's Hitlerian. And RFK was one of those people who drink the Kool-Aid. This is what he said at Donald at CPAC. After actually getting to know Donald Trump, he's not what the media portrays him to be.

SPEAKER_24 8:57

Well, let me just say this. President Trump is exactly the opposite of everything that I believed him to be. He's the opposite of a narcissist and empath. You see that every time he talks about the Ukraine war, he talks about the casualties on both sides. You will not hear any Democrat ever talk about that. And he talks about the Russian kids who are dying. He gets the reports every week, and he they make a huge impression on him about the death rates. A thousand kids a day are dying over there. My son fought in Ukraine. He's the only member of his military unit who survived. And he understands that these are people's children. And he talks about that.

SPEAKER_15 10:03

And then also he he has uh yeah, he's he's more of an empath than a narcissist. But he's got a brand, right? Yo Fayad, he's got the whole thing, you know, he has to talk about. I remember one time he said, Why do you talk so much about yourself? He says, If I don't, no one else will. Right? Like back in the 90s, it was easy. Rappers would rap about me. I'd get good press, bad press, and I just kind of did my business thing. But now the entire media is absolutely turned against him. And why is that, Ron? Why is it that the media is turned against them? What is it that we know about the media? Well, they're not, he's not carrying their water. He's not carrying their water, but who does the media represent? Where do they get their money?

SPEAKER_18 10:45

Ah, who butters their bread? Well, if we believe the uh conspiracy theorists out there would be George Soros and Fritz.

SPEAKER_15 10:54

I would just go so far as to say the establishment. Okay.

SPEAKER_18 10:56

Right.

SPEAKER_15 10:57

The people who want to keep things the way they are, because they figured out how to monopolize it, they figured out how to make their huge amounts of money, right? And they pay for it.

SPEAKER_18 11:05

We don't have to be all conspiratorial to even think about it that way. You know, if you just think about the people that have put play things in place, they want to keep those things in place. That makes perfect sense. Why wouldn't you?

SPEAKER_15 11:16

You know, you don't want to upset the Apple card all the time. And so even if it's just completely sincere, hey, this is our business. We're gonna pay for brand advertising. That's one of the things that's always blown me away. If you go back in time, 50s, 60s, right, with radio and media, the ads were like, you know, buy this product, 25 cents. This is what it'll do, this is what it'll do. This they were selling you something.

SPEAKER_18 11:39

Yeah, and back then some of the products were like cigarettes. Well, sure, sure. But my doctors, my doctor smokes menthols.

SPEAKER_15 11:46

You know, you go open up a magazine and you'd see an insert ad, and it was like touting all the benefits of a product, how long lasting the product is, high quality the product. There's like tons of ad copy. Now you open up a magazine and it's a beautiful woman holding a fragrance, or it's or it's you know, a beautiful woman and an attractive man just driving a car. Yeah, not about horsepower, not about gallons per mile. It's not about longevity, it's about this will create an image. It's branding, right? That it's it's it's no longer about pitching a product, it's about we want to create a sustainable brand. We want people to love jaguars. There was actually that Jaguar ad. I was in prison when it came out, and it was like there wasn't even a car in the ad. There wasn't even a car in the ad. And it was a DEI ad. It was like gays and flowers and you know, rainbow, this, that, or the other, all these transgender actors jumping around, and then at the end it was like jaguar. It was like, why would I buy a jaguar because some some tootie fruity fairies are dropping around on TV? Right? We've totally lost the plot. Donald Trump is one of those people that if you actually go policy by policy, and we see the man on the street interviews, right? What do you think about illegal immigration? What do you think about factories leaving your town? What do you think about all these different things? It's like, I agree, I agree, I agree. What do you think about Donald Trump? Oh, he's horrible. Right. It's absolutely horrible.

SPEAKER_18 13:07

And all the a lot of them are like tricking the people on the street into thinking that it was something that Donald Trump said when it was actually something that Biden said or something like that. Yes, exactly. They catch them every time.

SPEAKER_15 13:18

Every time because because we've moved into this world where the information is being paid for and promoted by the establishment, the people that want you to stay loyal to a brand or whatever the case is. And at the end of the show, we're gonna talk about some of that algorithm and some of the stuff that's coming. It's pretty scary, you know, on top of the fact that we have kind of we're living in a surveillance state, you know. And so this is Donald Trump. He also did an interview on 60 Minutes last night. And I'm sure 60 Minutes had some great show planned, but they basically canceled it in order to have, you know, interview Trump after this White House correspondence dinner shooting. Because remember, these people were in the room. You know, they were potentially in the crossfire of this thing. And Donald Trump's being asked, you know, why does this keep happening to you?

SPEAKER_26 14:03

Consequential. This is a consequential presidency. I have a great cabinet, and they do things that are very good, but some people, you know, if they're good for us, they're not good for other people. Like as an example, Iran, when they're not gonna have a nuclear weapon, they will not have, they're not gonna blow up the world. They're crazy, they're not gonna blow up the world. And therefore they're not happy. And when they're not happy, people do things that are violent. Now, I'm not tracing anything back to them, but certainly if they had a shot, they'd probably take it. So when you're a consequential president or if you have a consequential administration, uh things happen that wouldn't happen if you're sleepy Joe Biden. Everyone was happy with Biden. The world was happy. You know why they were happy? Because they were taking advantage of us, because they treated the United States like we were stupid people, and they made a lot of money. They don't do that anymore.

SPEAKER_15 14:59

They made a lot of money. Now, we've traced this Iran thing, right? It's the off-books balance sheet for the banking system. Venezuela was doing the same thing. China obviously gets cheap oil from both Iran and from Venezuela. Cuba acts as the intelligence arm that kind of glues the whole thing together. And Donald Trump has attacked not just that, he's also attacked DEI interest. He's attacked banks by saying you gotta lower your rates and you know, stop doing XYZ. He's attacked pretty much every vested establishment interest. If the pharmaceutical companies, you're gonna charge Americans the lowest price in America. Why? Because I said so. Well, I mean, where are we gonna have all the access to pay for all of our brand advertising on your streaming platforms? You guys know, like you watch streaming platforms, it's like every commercial for the most part is pharmaceutical stuff. I mean, I don't know about you, but that's basically my experience. You know what I mean? It's like one thing after another. They don't even advertise cars to me at this point. It's all like, you know, pharmaceutical medication. Donald Trump was also on did a uh early morning phone call on Fox News this weekend talking about Iran, specifically about their oil pipelines. And this just goes to show this man is extremely consequential. So no matter what the issue is, if the news doesn't get reported accurately, right, and it's all the vested interests that are at threat, they're just going to attack them with anything they have. And Iran is on the verge of basically looing their entire oil infrastructure.

SPEAKER_25 16:24

But what you're referring to is that when when you have um you know lines of vast amounts of oil pouring through your system, if for any reason that line is closed because you you can't continue to put it into containers or ships, which has happened to them. They have no ships because of the blockade. What happens is that line explodes from within. Both mechanically and in the earth, it something happens where it just explodes. So they say they only have about three days left before that happens. And when it explodes, you can never, regardless, you can never rebuild it the way it was. In other words, it will always be if you rebuild it, it's hard to rebuild at all, but it would only be about 50% of what it is right now. So it's a very powerful thing that takes place. Sort of having to do with nature. But when when that gets clogged at the end, in other words, when you have to turn it off because you have no place to store this oil, either put it on ships or storage tanks, which they are just about finished with. Uh a very bad thing is gonna happen.

Manifestos, Smears, And Accountability

SPEAKER_15 17:30

So I think they're under pressure, but now you have to understand a massive amount of oil around the world came out of Iran. So every vested interest you you can't imagine, right? Stuff that we're not aware of, Southeast Asian interests and stuff like that, they're all being cut off right now. Big time. Now, Japan got received this weekend their first delivery of oil coming out of Texas. They picked it up, went through the Panama Canal, headed to Japan. So Japan's like, okay, got the IV back in. You know, we're gonna fill up our oil tanks, we're gonna get going again. And the whole world is having to reroute around this. The other thing that Donald Trump did this weekend is there was supposed to be another peace talks, and he canceled it. I just canceled my trip of representatives going to Islamabad Pakistan to meet with the Iranians. Too much time wasted on traveling, too much work, besides which there's tremendous inviting and confusion within their leadership. That's one of the things we're finding out. We don't really know who's in charge of Iran. It's kind of the IRGC or is it the Caetola? We're not really sure. Nobody knows who is in charge, including them. Also, we have all the cards, they have none. If they want to talk, all they have to do is call President Donald J. J. Trump. Right. So let's do a little man on the street here. I'm gonna read some quotes from you, and you have to guess who said it. Okay. They bring a knife, we bring a gun. Who said it? Um, Donald Trump. Oh, that's a good guess. All right. I want to if I want to argue with them and get in their face. Who said it?

SPEAKER_18 18:57

I want to argue with them and get in their face. Uh I don't know.

SPEAKER_15 19:03

Alright, let's do another one. I don't want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry. I'm angry.

SPEAKER_18 19:10

Um, look at I got I got the camera in my face because I just quizzical. I don't know.

SPEAKER_15 19:15

Okay, how about this one? Hit back twice as hard.

SPEAKER_18 19:19

Hit back twice as hard. This sounds like a Trump thing too.

SPEAKER_15 19:25

Okay, okay. We talk to these folks, so I know who's an a who's ass to kick. I don't know. How about this one? Republican victory would be would mean hand-to-hand combat.

SPEAKER_18 19:40

Hand-to-hand combat? Are these recent quotes?

SPEAKER_15 19:44

Fairly recent, yeah. Oh man. I mean, not like last week, but fairly recent. Um I have no idea. How about this one? Punish your enemies. Punish your enemies. Where are these quotes from? How about this one? I'm itching for a fight.

SPEAKER_18 20:02

I don't know. I'm gonna look really stupid here, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_15 20:05

Put it on screen. I shared it over here.

unknown 20:07

Barack Obama!

SPEAKER_18 20:10

Barack Obama.

SPEAKER_15 20:12

The Nobel Peace Prize winner, Barack Obama, right? I'm itching for a fight. That again, you're only as good as the information you have, right? The left has been doing this targeting, violent thing for a long time. Republicans generically just kind of want to go about their business. They want to build their businesses, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. But you've got this Marxist, progressive, collectivist, socialist, whatever you want to that is them, right, that is itching for a fight. They want to tear down the system, they want to break the system, they want to beat somebody up, right? They want to get their way. When they can't win with ideas, what do they win with? A stick. A stick. Jamie Raskin was asked about this, and it's really interesting. You know, now that Trump's had his third assassination temp, everybody was in the room. Look at his eye. He's got, he must be so stressed out, blood vessels are popping. He gets asked about do you think the Democrats have anything to do with the violent rhetoric in America?

SPEAKER_01 21:08

Yeah, and and you have uh, and as many of your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. And do you think twice about that when something like this happens?

SPEAKER_27 21:19

What rhetoric do you have in mind?

SPEAKER_01 21:20

Just thinking about some of the fact that he, you know, is terrible for this country and so on and so forth.

SPEAKER_27 21:27

I understand that that's your democratic right, but overall, yeah, do you have a response to the personal problem with Donald Trump at all? I mean, I talked about the policies of this administration, the authoritarianism like we saw on display in Minneapolis, where two of our citizens were gunned down in the streets simply for exercising their First Amendment rights. Renew Good, Alex Predi, um, and others have died in custody. Uh I'm talking about policies. I don't personalize it. And I certainly have never called the press the enemy of the people. I think the Press are the people's best friend, and that's why it's written right there into the first amendment. We we need the press to be a vigilant watchdog against every level of government federal, state, local, all of it.

SPEAKER_15 22:13

We need the press. Who needs the press, Jeremy? Really? Right? I mean, clearly, when we talk about the DMC and the media at large, legacy media being in the same thing. Well, yeah, we need them to say what we need to say.

SPEAKER_18 22:24

I thought you were gonna play a super cut after this.

SPEAKER_15 22:27

Oh, well, let's just forego the supercut. Like I just assume, listen, for our audience, you've heard it. Yeah, you've heard it. We we cover a couple things. Like, I'm gonna cover here Hassine Piker, who's about as large as Tim Poole on the left, right? Being asked about uh corporations and capitalism, and you know, this is the kind of rhetoric that comes out from their side. And I again, listen, I've said some stupid things. Okay, I've said some stupid things. We all have the right to say a stupid thing from time to time. It happens. But this is the kind of stuff that comes out from their end on the regular. Well, my understanding is that the property owners who have properties there who's just not rented at all.

SPEAKER_05 23:07

Yeah, kill them. Kill those motherfuckers and murder those motherfuckers in the street. Let the streets let the streets soak in their fucking red capitalist bloods, dude.

SPEAKER_15 23:17

Uh-huh. Okay. Every big is Tim Pool on the left. Every bit is Tim Pool on the left. Wow. Right. And that's the kind of rage he's putting out there. Just kill them. Just kill him. We played a clip last week about social murder justifying the Luigi Mangioni murder of the United Healthcare uh CEO, cold blood, right on the street. Right? And by the way, that that United Healthcare CEO apparently was trying to really reform United Healthcare so that they wouldn't deny coverage to people, right? The guy that's actually trying to fix the problem ends up getting murdered. So here's another one. This is actually close to home. I used to get these letters in prison. Okay. These were postcards that would come in and they come from your own address. So I'd get a postcard from my wife to me. Okay. And they they this was the exact postcard. And I got a half dozen of them over the time I was in prison. And they're still sending these out. They're still sending these out. This is what it says on the back of the fan postcard. He fancies himself the peace president, but he's a war criminal. Under the guise of fighting drug trafficking, he's engaging in regime change. His extra uh judicial murders and invasion are dragging us into war with Venezuela. Here at home, his Gestapo agents, ICE, are murdering U.S. citizens on the streets. He's a disgusting predator who walks in half naked, half in on half-naked girls at his beauty pageants. He sexually assaults women and brags about it. God knows what atrocities he committed with his BFF Jeffrey Epstein before having him killed. We certainly don't know because his DOJ is defying the law, refusing to release the Epstein files, covering up for him and other pedophiles. We elected him on a promise to lower grocery prices, did we? I don't think these guys voted for him. How much lower are your grocery bills today? Exercise your Second Amendment right and let our dear leader know how you feel about his corrupt regime. Exercise your Second Amendment right and kill the president.

SPEAKER_18 25:08

I see.

SPEAKER_15 25:09

Okay. So here's another one, Gus sent. Trump's primary objective now is to cancel or postpone the midterm elections. Since it's obvious to everyone that Republicans are about to get trounced, he will use war with Iran andor Venezuela andor Cuba, et cetera, as a pretext for canceling or postponing the midterm elections. He's also mused about federalizing elections, which is absolutely totally unconstitutional. He knows that he can't win. He's just going to try to prevent U.S. elections in an attempt to remain a dictator for life. Where are the Second Amendment patriots? Call for arms. Why is no one standing up for our rights and our freedoms, which Trump just keeps taking away? Right now it's our free speech, our nonviolent protests, and our sacred right to vote. Some godly Second Amendment patriot needs to stop his un-American, this un-American disgrace before it's too late. Some godly Second Amendment that's taking up arms needs to stop this un-American disgrace before it's too late to stop him. The only thing necessary for triumph, the triumph of easel is for good men to do nothing.

SPEAKER_18 26:06

I think I figured it out. The same guy that wrote this card is the same guy that writes the uh voting pamphlets.

SPEAKER_15 26:13

So credit to Timothy L. Hell, who said Nelly, he's a J6er. Okay. This postcard was sent 17th March 2026. We've been out of prison for over a year. I got these in prison, and the return address for mine was my neighbor's address where I used to live. The house I built, lived in for a few years, and moved back. So I imagine he's getting these postcards, right? I imagine he's getting them. But that's the return address. That's like a couple weeks ago. They're calling for a second amendment. So it should be no surprise that the shooter he wrote a manifesto saying all this stuff. Trump's a pedophile, Trump's killing ICE agents, he's going to war. All of it. Everything I just read right there, the shooter put in his manifesto, talking about everybody's claims to be Christian, but nobody actually steps up and does anything when real evil's happening. Now, if you ask Nancy Pelosi, I mean, the Democrats, they're just absolved from this because no matter what they say, the we can't be responsible for our words.

SPEAKER_00 27:08

People don't have any intention of saying something that's going to lead to something dangerous. But we cannot take responsibility for the minds that are out there and how they hear it.

SPEAKER_16 27:20

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 27:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_15 27:22

Democrats are quickly calling for gun control. And that was after the Kirk shooting. And of course, what do they go for? Oh, don't stop the rhetoric, don't turn down the chemicature control before we have the full picture of the alleged assassin, John. So after Charlie Kirk, after every shooting, after every targeted right-wing violence, they're like, Have you had enough yet? Are you ready to take away everybody's guns? Are you ready to maybe stop saying things that aren't true? Right? I mean, and now the Democrats over the weekend are like, Well, I didn't say that Trump's a pedophile. I didn't say that Trump's a pedophile. Here's a post that Mike Lee put out from Ilan Omar, one of our favorites, right? Nice Somali representative. The leader of the pedophile protection party is trying to deflect attention from his name, Trumps, being all over the Epstein files. At least in Somalia, they execute pedophiles, not elect them. Oh, brother. Yeah. Okay. Here's another one. Here's Ted Lew. This was, again, only about a month and a half ago, kind of during the Epstein release. And on the right side here is part of the manifesto. So I want to read the manifesto first. I apologize to everyone who was abused and or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this. He's a patriot, Second Amendment patriot. And to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure. I don't expect forgiveness. But if I could have seen the other way, any other way to get around this close to this close, I would have taken it. Again, my sincere apologies. On why I did this, I am a citizen of the United States of America.

SPEAKER_17 28:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_15 28:51

Why what my representatives do reflects on me. I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to cope my hands with his crimes. He's referring to Trump. Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is my first real opportunity, and I had to do something about it. Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I'm not the person being raped in a detention camp. I'm not the fisherman executed without trial. Were there any fishermen blown up on boats coming into America? Were there any any fishermen? Were there any trawlers out there getting blown up? Or did they all have cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamines on their boats and then got shot?

SPEAKER_18 29:29

Well, I did see some boats that had four like 3,000 horse motors on it. Open bow boats with packages inside of them. Pretty sweet bass fishing.

SPEAKER_15 29:39

Yeah, seriously. Do you see how the media has manipulated this man into believe that Trump was just killing innocent fishermen heading off the coast, north coast of Venezuela? We're just going fishing. We're just chumming with flour. This isn't cocaine. That's unreal, isn't it? We're only as good as the information you have. If the media is telling you everything you know, and you're not doing some of your own research and you know, triangulating information and developing your own opinions, you're just going to take it hook line to sinker.

SPEAKER_18 30:10

And uh the ultimate call to action you're gonna get on this uh show is uh go vote.

SPEAKER_15 30:15

Yeah, go vote. Or send us a tip. Two big things. I'm not a school kid blown up for a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration.

SPEAKER_03 30:26

And where does it get this idea? I don't know. Representatives like Ted Lew. Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there's highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. Donald Trump is in the Epstein files that did he?

SPEAKER_15 30:50

Any of that?

SPEAKER_18 30:51

So we're trying somebody in public now. Okay. Well, that's what we do on the show, Donald.

SPEAKER_15 30:58

Try people in public.

SPEAKER_18 31:00

I know, but then there's uh the executioner and juries already handed down their sentence.

SPEAKER_15 31:05

Yeah, and I mean if it's true, you gotta take action, right? Nora O'Ronnell interviewed Donald Trump for the 60 Minutes interview, and she had the audacity to actually read this out loud. Oh. And basically say, Well, Donald Trump, what do you think about this?

SPEAKER_12 31:20

So-called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, Mr. President. He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this quote Administration officials, they are targets. And he also wrote this. I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. What's your reaction?

SPEAKER_26 31:41

Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you're you're you're horrible people. Horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. Uh I'm I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody. Oh, you think you think he was referring to you?

SPEAKER_15 31:55

Excuse me. Oh, who were you referring to? You think he was referring to you? Who do you what are you talking about? Ted Luke gets up there and says that. Uh um former representative Eric Swalwell said that. We could go on, we could super clip it, but we don't need to. It's self-evident at this point.

SPEAKER_26 32:20

You read that crap from some sick person. Uh I got associated with stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Uh your friends on the uh other side of uh the plate are the ones that were uh involved with, let's say, Epstein or other things. When I said to myself, you know, I'll I'll do this interview, and they'll probably I read the manifesto, you know, as a sick person. But uh You should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I'm not any of those things. Mr. President, excuse me, excuse me. Yeah. You shouldn't be reading that on 60 minutes. You're a disgrace. But go ahead, let's finish the interview.

SPEAKER_12 33:01

The other thing that he wrote in the other thing in the manifesto isn't that just something I mean What are we doing?

SPEAKER_15 33:11

Right? Like you read that oh, he was you think he was referring to you? Are you are you retarded? Yeah, he was referring to me, you know, and the whole administration, but specifically, members of your party, the ones that you're in bed with, are the ones that have been spreading and giving kind of stoking this fire. But don't worry, Nancy Pelosi. Oh, we can't be responsible for what people do with this these lies. Corey Booker, look, people are gonna do what they're gonna do, and you know, information's important, and Donald Trump doesn't want you to know that we're lying to you. Don't interpret that. Come on, don't be gaslit. Don't be gaslit, yeah. So at the press conference that Trump held after the White House correspondence shooting, he addresses this totally inappropriate relationship between the DNC and the media. But I saw a room that was just totally unified.

SPEAKER_26 34:00

It was in one way, very beautiful.

SPEAKER_12 34:02

Do you think this will change your relationship with the press?

SPEAKER_26 34:06

Well, look, for whatever reason, we disagree on a lot of subjects. Uh we talk about crime. Uh I'm very strong on crime. It seems like the press isn't. Uh it's not so much the press, it's the press plus the Democrats because they're almost one and the same. It's like the craziest thing. I have the strongest border we've ever had in the country. We're, as you know, it it said zero people for nine months came into our country through our southern border. We have a very tough border.

SPLC Allegations And Protest Funding

SPEAKER_15 34:37

But I but you know, the press and the democrats, they're basically one and the same. Do you disagree with that, Ron? No. No, not when it's press on TV. It's pretty damn obvious. Yeah, and even when you turn on Fox News, right? It's one of those ones where it's like, oh, sometimes it's a little rhino-y, right? Republican in name only. Todd Blanche was on Face the Nation, and just like after Charlie Kirk, just like after Trump's uh the Thomas Crooks event, just like after every significant event of left-wing terrorism on conservatives, remember it was Scott Adams who said they will hunt Republicans in the street. The press, rather than report on the event, rather than report on the details, rather than report on the things that this shooter did, how he got there, his background, and the things he posted online. Again, lots of hate rhetoric, lots of reposting celebrities' hate rhetoric. Instead of reporting on that, they immediately want to go to the thing that they've been pounding the drum on forever, and that every dictatorship and every totalitarian nation ultimately wants to disarm the nation.

SPEAKER_31 35:47

So the alleged shooter, as we just said, had multiple weapons in his possession. Here in the District of Columbia, open carry is not permitted. You just said he traveled from California across the country by train. At this point, are you thinking at the federal level of changing security protocols in any way to, for example, match on trains what you are expected to go through when you fly, where you do have to declare a weapon when you cross state lines? How did he travel by train without any challenge and arrive here in the nation's capital?

SPEAKER_15 36:22

So it's not the hate in his heart. It's not the rhetoric that led him to this. It's none of that. It's just that, you know, we could have prevented this if we just took everybody's guns away, prevented them from ever leaving their house with their guns.

SPEAKER_18 36:33

You can't get on a plane with a gun. You can't get on a train with a gun. You can't get in your car with a gun. Bam. I hope you don't have any guns at home.

SPEAKER_15 36:40

Then we can stir up as much hate as you want, but there will be no consequences ever for it.

SPEAKER_18 36:45

This is the stupidest ever.

SPEAKER_10 36:46

Yeah, it is pretty stupid. Look, this isn't about, in my mind, changing the law or making the laws more restrictive around um possession of firearms. It appears he purchased these firearms the past couple years. We don't know how those firearms ended up in his possession in DC. We can we can make some assumptions based upon what I just said about how he got to DC. I don't I I don't think the narrative here is about changing laws or changing making making our laws more restrictive. This is about law enforcement who are doing their jobs and and and a suspect who who tried to do something and failed visibly.

SPEAKER_31 37:21

Well, I'm not talking about changing the law in terms of possession of a firearm. I'm asking about crossing state lines with that firearm and arriving in the Capitol. If you try to fly, you do have to have your firearms declared in some way. You don't when you get on a train.

SPEAKER_10 37:35

Well, look, you are talking about I mean, if if we're asking the question that's talking about changing the laws, and and I don't think that's something that we should be focused on right now in any way, shape, or form.

SPEAKER_31 37:43

Okay, not equal.

SPEAKER_10 37:47

Yeah. So I mean, look, the we don't and we also don't know, uh we don't have all the answers this morning. We're still looking into uh into what happened, is w how he got the guns, if he got them legally. But what we do know is is that is that he tried to use them. He did have two firearms and some knives on his person when he tried to use them. And and he was stopped uh before he got anywhere near the president, before he got near any of us that were in the room at the time of uh that this occurred. And and that's that's again, we can't we can't overlook, and I'm I'm not suggesting you are, but we can't overlook the great work of the Secret Service last night.

SPEAKER_15 38:20

I'm sure the guy wasn't like, well, it's illegal for me to take guns into DC, so I guess I can't do the job. It's like, dude, the this mentality, every single one of these incidents turns into a discussion on take away all the good people's guts every single time. Rather than turn the temperature down, stop the rhetoric, let's figure out how to agree with each other or agree to disagree in a peaceful way.

SPEAKER_18 38:44

Or maybe we should um um condemn this guy to die in the street so that nobody wants to do it again.

SPEAKER_15 38:50

Listen, I'm sensitive to this stuff because of January 6th. I understand I went to a protest unarmed, right, with a puffy jacket on and a and a scarf and some some prescription sunglasses, and I got a deadly weapon enhancement as a I got an actual firearm enhancement for a bike rack. But yet we see they don't seem to care that criminals own guns. They care if good people own guns. And they want, you know, rather than again assess the root cause of this, which is the hate in the heart, they go to well, if we could just stop him at the state lines, if they could just listen, he could have flown on a plane, he was a legal going under, most likely. He probably bought the guns legally, he could have checked the baggage, done the whole plane. It wouldn't have mattered, right? It wouldn't have mattered, right?

SPEAKER_18 39:39

If he had had to check his guns on his train, he would have just made it to his destination.

SPEAKER_15 39:45

Yeah. So just made it to his destination. Exactly. Right. And then now here's the other thing, too. This ballroom that Trump is billing. Now, Trump is pivoting to the ballroom. He's like, listen, this is all the reason why I have to have a ballroom. High security, bulletproof class, bulletproof roofs, drone proof. Like, they're gonna do this to me continuously, and they're gonna do it to future presidents too. Any president who tries to stand up to the powers that be, potentially his own intelligence agencies, right? You know, foreign nations, they're all gonna come under this threat. So we need this ballroom. It's a military installation. And you know who's holding it up right now? A woman who walks her dog sued. It's too disturbing, and I don't like it. And you know, somebody decided to give her standing. So Brett Shamonte, a U.S. attorney, basically wrote a uh a letter basically saying, hey, we gotta hurry up and get this ballroom done. And Trump addressed this in his in his press conference as well.

SPEAKER_26 40:40

All of the conditions that took place tonight, and I will say, you know, it's not a particularly secure building. And uh I didn't want to say this, but uh, this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we're planning at the White House. It's actually a larger room and it's uh much more secure. It's got it's drone proof, it's bulletproof glass. We need the ballroom. That's why Secret Service, that's why the military are demanding it. They've wanted the ballroom for 150 years for lots of different reasons, but today's uh a little bit different because today we need levels of security that probably nobody's ever seen before. But everyone owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to the courage of of law enforcement, the the law enforcement and working with the DC police, and we just spoke with the mayor. And when we're finished, uh the now one of the all of the conditions that took place.

SPEAKER_15 41:43

One of the interesting things, I was just thinking about this in his little manifesto, he was going after all of Trump's administration except for Cash Patel. I didn't understand that. I was like, is that because he's Indian American or because he's lowering crime stats in America? Like, is there something about it? I I couldn't quite understand that one. I haven't I haven't quite figured that one out yet. So Jamie Raskin, this is going back to the to the face the nation interview, and this is the same interviewer that asked Todd Blanche, so are we gonna do gun control now? So Jamie Raskin was live in studio, and you saw the earlier clip. Let's listen to this one. Talk about deflection, completely not accepting responsibility. Jamie Raskin is one of the lead persecutors of January Sixers, and he's one of these what Scott Adams used to call. And for those of you who don't know who Scott Adams is, he was the author of the Dilbert cartoons and had a very long-standing podcast coffee with Scott Adams. And that's who we do the homage, the simultaneous sip to every morning. After he passed away, I decided, okay, I'm taking it. Carried it on. Carried it on. And Jamie Raskin was called by Scott Adams the designated liar. If you need someone to come out and just say the sky is purple and it's not blue and just gaslight the Americ, the entire American population, he's your man. And there was a handful of them. It was like AOC, Swalwell, uh, uh Durbin, you know, it's all the it's all the ones that we just roll our eyes at every day. These are not serious people, but they have serious power and serious influence.

SPEAKER_31 43:09

Um, I want to make sure that I recognize what he said because we don't hear him speak this way very often. He said, I asked all Americans to recommit with their hearts to resolve our difference peacefully. And he talked about being unified with members of the press. Yes.

SPEAKER_27 43:26

Um, well, that certainly that's a new message from him. That's great. He had called the press, of course, the enemy of the people. That's a new message from him.

SPEAKER_15 43:34

Did you notice how she was like, unify. Unify. But that disrupts our business model. And he's been engaged in a lot of lawsuits against your profession.

SPEAKER_31 43:45

Well, we're well, yes.

SPEAKER_15 43:47

Um, we are oh, so you lie about him, and then he has no recourse. He just has to sit and take it. Yep.

SPEAKER_31 43:54

Going into this politically charged midterm season, there's gonna be campaigning around the country with lawmakers. Out there. I mean, does something change? He said this. Does something change? Do democrates democratic language need to change as well?

SPEAKER_27 44:07

We have said all along that we need every politician in the country, every leader in the country, every citizen in the country denouncing political violence across the board, um, regardless of where it's coming from.

SPEAKER_16 44:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_27 44:21

Um so uh, you know, I I find this a welcome change in rhetoric, but you know, what happened last week? They brought a lawsuit against the Southern Poverty Law Center, whose whole purpose is to order is to investigate violent right-wing extremists.

SPEAKER_15 44:37

He almost said his whole purpose is to order violent right-wing extremists. I mean, I mean, investigate violent go read the indictment. Someone, someone read it, that's a lefty, read it and then posted. He says, Southern Southern Poverty Law Center's cooked. Like that was it was like stunned, totally stunned by what he read. Because there's evidence in there, right? I mean, there's a money trail. Say what you want about the narrative. You were paying the KKK, you were paying Unite the Right, you were paying these violent groups, and there are the SPLC, there have been multiple shooters that have attacked whoever's on their little hate list and have directly quoted in either their manifestos or their interviews. Well, I know what I did was right because the SPLC said. Yes. So here he is, designated liar, being like, Well, because they went after the SPLC, I mean, he's gotta be bad because their whole job is to stop extremism by financing it or something.

SPEAKER_31 45:40

Understood. Um, and there there is across party lines some some political violence, way too much of it right now. And actually, Speaker America Pelosi on this program said to me recently that she thought the threat or the concern about violence or threats to your family is what is hurting recruitment of people to run for office, particularly mothers, particularly women. Are you seeing that? The people are afraid to even join public life because of this.

SPEAKER_27 46:07

Sure. Anybody who's thinking about running for office undoubtedly thinks about that. Anyone who's thinking about running for president undoubtedly thinks about that. And those people have the most protection with the Secret Service, and uh other people don't have the same kind of protection. So, look, we've got to rediscover the great American tradition of nonviolence and Dr. King and the civilizing movements that have always opposed violence versus the violent groups that have used violence historically, beginning with the Ku Klux Klan, in order to terrorize other people.

SPEAKER_31 46:42

Congressman Raskin, thank you for joining us, and we're glad you were able to do so. We'll be right back.

SPEAKER_15 46:48

Rich that he cited the Ku Klux Klan, which was bankrupted by the SPLC back in the 30s, but then was refunded by the SPLC probably from then on. Right? But they didn't have bank routing tracking numbers up until you know the last couple decades or handful of years to really follow the money. Donald Trump was asked about the whole this again, this shooter, and he mentions the Southern Poverty Law Center. This is not inconsequential, this is a big deal. And what what do we have going on right now? So you had the Unite the Right rally, but now you've got these no kings rallies.

SPEAKER_26 47:27

Who's funding these things? I see these no kings, which are funded just like the Southern Law was funded. You saw all that Southern Law is financing the KKK and lots of other radical terrible groups, and then they go out and they say, Oh, we've got to stop the KKK, and yet they give them hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. It's a total scam run by the Democrats. Uh it shows you that, like Charlottesville, Charlottesville was all funded by the Southern Law. That was a Southern Law deal, too. And it was done to make me look bad, and it turned out to be a total fake. It basically was uh a rigged election. This was a part of the rigging of the election, and that's what you really should be doing. I mean, I hope one of your 60-minute episodes, which really hasn't changed very much for the last few years, I'm surprised. But one of those episodes should be on Southern Law and the fact that they spent millions and millions of dollars for absolute far right and just bad, bad groups. And then they'd use those groups and they'd say, these are Republican groups, and we're coming to your rescue. And they're the ones that have funded it, and they're the ones that kept them keep them going.

SPEAKER_15 48:41

There's been a lot of suspicion amongst the January Sixers, and that's not suspension, we do this, but we don't know where the money came from. Okay, so we do know that the sedition hunters who rounded many of us up, I was their first turn-in, was funded by the by the FBI and some other nonprofit groups in order to do that, right? To gen up terrorists out of me. Wa. Right. In fact, if you go back February 11th, 2021, and you look up a Patriot, a Patriot with like an O in there, uh, he talks about he was our first turn in. We were happy to hit terrorists. This man's not it. After they'd turned me in, of course, after they'd compiled a doctrine, after they listened to every episode of our podcast. Oh wow. Now, to their credit, to their credit, they were interviewed by New York magazine and Atlantic Journal magazine, and they said, you know, they they express guilt for turning me in. And they express, in fact, a patriotic is a former Mormon as well. He's like, I actually know where they're coming from. And you know, not the craziest guy. And he even cited the fact he was deluded by information.

SPEAKER_16 49:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_15 49:50

I say that too. We're only as good as the information you have. I'm in an echo chamber. You're in an echo chamber. Your echo chamber doesn't have a lot of reverberation. You didn't even know there was an assassination attempt this weekend. That is one of the way, Ron, that is one of the most endearing things about you to the audience. I get this feedback consistently that you are an odd budsman for the guy that just goes to work nine to five and doesn't pay attention. So just by the way, never stop being you. It's super valuable because it would be really easy to turn this show into just rage on rage on rage. But the way the dynamic is, is we're I'm presenting this information to to someone that doesn't, you don't have this huge pre-developed opinion on all these characters and you know, just quote unquote cabal. You're not a QAnon person, you know what I mean? You don't follow it, you're not spending your time there. You're a civil engineer. I don't got time for that. You got your nose and CAD drawings and you know, stuff like that.

SPEAKER_18 50:46

Well, and if I have any spare time, I have a farm, so it eats it all up.

SPEAKER_15 50:50

Yeah, exactly. It was so fun to bring Lisa here this weekend. She's like, This is on a farm. I'm like, yeah, it's pretty cool. And people are like, you have such a great professional setup. I'm like, you should see the studio behind Ron's wall back there. Ron, go ahead and show the wall. Oh, sure. Behind that sheet rock, what am I looking at? How do I show it? Just put the screen on you.

SPEAKER_17 51:10

Okay, okay.

Power Without Oversight Or Consequences

SPEAKER_15 51:11

Behind that sheetrock behind him, there's studs, insulation, some plywood, and then on the other half of this barn, there's a log pile. Okay, that's just firewood stacked. That's my firewood. It's just firewood. Oh, we have a really good time. So Donald Trump was also asked. So this other interesting thing came up, just like Thomas Crooks, just like every event, was this staged?

SPEAKER_17 51:35

Right.

SPEAKER_15 51:35

Oh, I was saying with the January 6th, there's been a lot of suspicion that the SPLC or other groups funded certain provocateurs to kind of justify the firing pepper balls into the crowd and all that kind of stuff. Oh, that would be shocking. Shocking. I don't know. Because I definitely went there with the intention to cause violence, to roll my eyes. You know, I accept full responsibility for my actions over that day, and I definitely paid the price. So I can say guilt-free. Yep. To the extent that you hate me, 14 months in prison, tis enough. Okay, tis enough. But nonetheless, there's a lot of this misinformation that's out there. And so Donald Trump was asked because immediately left wingers, left wingers staged, Donald Trump staged it. Donald Trump staged his own assassination. Donald Trump staged the Ryan Roo thing on the golf course. He's just trying to gen up support and sympathy. Just trying to do that.

SPEAKER_12 52:29

I hesitate to ask you about this, but as you know, these conspiracy theories out there on the left and the right, that the event was staged or that it didn't happen. What did last night didn't have to that uh yeah, that it was because it was your first time there or that Butler didn't happen. These conspiracy theories that are gaining traction on the internet.

SPEAKER_15 52:51

And the Holocaust didn't happen. Sure. Many let's add in and nuclear weapons aren't real, and you know, you go on the earth isn't round. Sorry, Carlito. We didn't go to the moon. Uh we didn't go to the moon. Listen, we put the subheading, you know, we're podcast conspiracies. So you know we reserve the right to have fun. I'm a bigfoot believer, by the way. So, you know, we can have what we have. But the reality is stuff like this, it's like, listen, man, when you're denying that these violent events happened, this is what got Alex Jones' so much hot water with the Sandy Hook. There's a lot of weird coincidences. Thomas Crooks and Ryan Ruth, both in BlackRock commercials. That's weird. Cray Cray. Right. But is it that Trump staged it? Right. Or is it an intelligence agency that staged it, or a commercial interest that staged it?

SPEAKER_18 53:41

No, nobody would stage something like this because um you don't want to stage something that you want, you wouldn't want somebody to be a copycat or try to repeat it, and people would, and so you do not want to try to stage something like this ever. Yeah, exactly. Why would you?

SPEAKER_26 53:57

Things didn't happen. Yeah, knowing you're I I don't know. I I think they're more sick than they are con people, but it is a lot of con, and it's in. I haven't heard that last night didn't happen. What usually it takes a little bit longer. Yeah, usually they wait about two or three months to start saying that.

SPEAKER_15 54:15

No, we were all we were we were already saying we weren't going to space and around the moon before they launched, right? Right, Carlito? I don't take that as criticism that we don't have a right to ask question, right? But some things you just kind of have to accept the basic premise. And uh, I used to argue with some of the white supremacists in prison about the Holocaust. I'm like, dude, I'm like, I will, I will, I will go with you on six million didn't die. That's a hard number to count in an age of bombings and birth records and courthouses blowing up. It's it's hard to get a count on that.

SPEAKER_18 54:46

Sure, and that well, that's why they use that number because there's a lot of zeros behind it. I mean, you you don't have a number like 5,900,000 and down to the you know the last digit.

SPEAKER_15 54:57

And I will acknowledge there are people on the list of people that were killed in the Holocaust that later showed up in Israel and voted and things like that. I'll acknowledge that. And but records are hard to keep those videos of the camp with Eisenhower released to the public, making the Germans march through those camps and the starving people that's real, man. Yeah, like if you think that's not real, you're the one who has to question your sanity. We can argue about the numbers six million, five million, ten million, two hundred and fifty thousand. Either way, you can't say it wasn't a genocide or a holocaust. That's actually one of the really big things that the Islamic world tries to do, is that there was no holocaust. I heard that in prison too from the Prislam guys. It's a big deal. Jews are always trying to play the victim. Okay. In a lot of world history, they kind of were. Go read the Bible. They were actually the victim more often than they were the uh oppressors, but that is a cycle. Okay. Speaking of victims, here's our favorite congressional victim now, Ilan Omar. She was on the Breakfast Club, and she said a couple things that kind of make you scratch your head. Now, remember the background to this. She had came into Congress with a negative net worth, then within a couple years, she had a$30 million net worth. Wow. I mean, that's better than that's better than Bitcoin returns, Rob. That's better than Bitcoin returns. But now she's readjusted her public disclosure to show that she's worth about$95,000. Oh, sure. Not an unbelievable increase for someone that went from probably no income to$140,000 a year, made some good investments, a couple inside trades. You can get out of debt. I get it. Right. That's a believable number. It's believable. And so they're asking her on the Breakfast Club, and they're doing a half-decent job of kind of grilling her about it. But at the end, she says something that just kind of gives away the game. She went off script. This is Dave Rubin introducing it. Watch this little doozy.

SPEAKER_20 56:42

Yeah, is there an investigation? If you know of something, let me know.

SPEAKER_28 56:45

I wouldn't call it an investigation. There's just been a focus on the rapid increase in your household wealth tied to your husband's company.

SPEAKER_19 56:53

Well, they have to make a choice to investigate, right? Like, do they choose to investigate or not?

SPEAKER_20 56:57

I mean, if you if you've done something illegal, you would investigate. But they're not investigating you. I am not being where made aware of an investigation into me or my family.

SPEAKER_28 57:12

But when you look at the increase in your household wealth tied to your husband's companies, you understand why that raises questions for people watching from there.

SPEAKER_20 57:18

Yeah, but that's but that's again one of the um it's their saying, right? Like there is no wealth increase. If you look at my husband's income, it's almost non-existence. He's um, you know, helped make sure our children are, you know, going to college and our young one um is is taken care of. There there there is no there is no wealth. There are ranges to businesses that he was invested in. I'm pretty sure um I I don't even know what they say, well correct me if I'm wrong.

SPEAKER_28 57:52

They said you reported a net worth between six million and thirty million, and they said your 2023 disclosure was roughly 40,000, between 40,000 and a quarter million.

SPEAKER_20 58:01

Yeah, but they're not they're not net worths, they're like the asset things for the companies. And so I don't know what percentage of it my husband actually has investment in. Like that's not, you know what I mean? It's not a full picture um of the the numbers um in the way that it is presented in the document, because in the documents we have to do ranges and we have to like report um in a way that is not detailed. It's not like your tax return um that you're submitting for the public record to see.

SPEAKER_28 58:33

But that is a big increase. So you could understand why people would ask questions.

SPEAKER_20 58:37

But I'm pretty sure it'll get like adjusted at some level um when those ranges are looked at.

SPEAKER_28 58:43

And and I I think I I saw that your husband was asked to turn over some documents but didn't comply. So is that true? To from who? I I don't know. I guess the Department of Justice, I don't know.

SPEAKER_19 58:54

The House Oversight Committee and the Government Reform Committee. That was what was reported. That I think it was early on in like January, February, that he was asked to turn over like emails and different things.

SPEAKER_20 59:03

Yeah, there is no oversight. There is no oversight that the oversight committee has over my husband or me. So why would you submit documents to an entity that has nothing to do with you?

SPEAKER_15 59:15

Oh there is no oversight committee that has jurisdiction over my husband and me. Community property, it's kind of your household. Uh, so why would you submit documents to uh people that have no oversight authority jurisdiction over you? Ron, what did we just hear there?

SPEAKER_18 59:32

Um I don't know, just some word salad about how I I don't have money anymore, but I don't know what net worth means. I don't know what holdings and business ventures and reporting means and like some numbers in some companies. I don't know.

SPEAKER_15 59:46

I wouldn't submit any paperwork to anybody because the House Oversight Committee of which I'm a member of the House has no jurisdiction over me. Dude, these people there's a big hubbub because at the end of last week, there was one of the military service members that went down that captured Maduro got arrested. Oh, and he got arrested because he went to polymarket and bet that the United States was would depose uh Nicholas Maduro and and then went down and picked him up and deposed him. Okay.

SPEAKER_18 1:00:22

I know how this boat's going.

SPEAKER_15 1:00:23

He won$400,000. Okay. So Donald Trump was asked about this in the Oval Office, and I have the clip, but I didn't pull it up for the show today. I didn't know if I was going to mention it or not. And Donald Trump gets asked, Oh, I wasn't aware. Well, who'd he bet on? Did he bet that we would get him or not? Well, he bet that he would get him. And he goes, Well, that's kind of like Pete Rose betting on his own team winning. He kept out of the Hall of Fame. I'll have to take a look at that off. And so then he goes on to explain the whole world has become a gambling market, a casino. And the sad thing about that is that is that is a problem with the financial system, the fiat system. People have lost so much hope that they do. They treat they're betting on the weather because it's the only way you can get ahead. You can't actually go to work nine to five and expect to be. I mean, the average the average first-time home buyer is 40. The average home purchase is someone that's 56.

SPEAKER_18 1:01:07

Have you ever looked into that polymarket thing?

SPEAKER_15 1:01:09

I have. I'm opposed to gambling like that in general.

SPEAKER_18 1:01:13

So I am too, but I looked into it for a second and was like, this is really wild. You could bet on just about anything.

Filibuster Fights And Broken Governance

SPEAKER_15 1:01:21

Yeah, yeah, it's definitely the zeitgeist. Okay, so this is Ron Johnson on with Maria Bartolomo, and he is like, it is time we've got to go nuclear on this filibuster thing. We have to make some big changes and make them fast because otherwise, you're just gonna have more of this. It's just gonna be a couple months rest, you know, reprieve between event after event after event. We've seen so much of this, and they've got to make some big changes. We have to secure our elections, flush things out. We've got to get the right judges in place, we've got to be able to overcome the minority Democrats who are pandering to the far left extreme wing that has an unbelievable amount of control over them and the money to interests. We've got to make it so the representatives that can do something. The ones that are in office, even the Republicans that that we consider rhinos and you know don't necessarily do Republican things, they won't vote against the party if the party could win. Does that make sense? And we've seen we saw that in the impeachment. You've got these people who have a deep visceral hate for Trump. They still voted to acquit him in the impeachment because politically, for them, you can't go back to your district. You pull a Mitt Romney, you're out in the next one. Because the American people at large are not stupid, they just need the right information. You think this is a moment in time that you actually could remove the filibuster to get funding done because we are in the middle of a war after all? Well, you know, that's the other thing. Funding ICE and Secret Service, they're defunded right now. Oh. During this event. Secret Service has gone 60 days plus without pay, and they were there defending the president against this attack. You know, at a certain point, people have to quit their jobs. You can't go 120 days, six months without a paycheck.

SPEAKER_33 1:03:04

It's just not practical. We did not have the votes when Democrats were being so obnoxiously obstructionist on just nominations. We have the votes to basically nuke the filibuster on all nominees, but in the end, they were so Democrats were so obnoxious. We had all 53 Republican senators go, yeah, no, we need to start you know confirming nominees to just 50 votes. This may be a moment like that. Okay, I mean again, it's a legitimate point of view, wanting to maintain the filibuster to, if we're in the minority, to block awful socialist leftist uh legislation. But the Senate's already broken enough. We've we've pretty well eviscerated the filibuster anyway, from my standpoint. Rip the band-aid out. The Democrats will do it. The Democrats will do it when they get the majority. At a moment of national danger, if Democrats refuse to fund DHS, I would say this would be the time to nuke the filibuster for good.

AI Data Centers And Censorship Fears

SPEAKER_15 1:03:52

And it would be, in my opinion, nice to see the filibuster you know destroyed, because then we could get the Save America Act passed and probably some other consequential legislation that would help we, the people, the peasants, flush some of these people out. And listen, politics is a zero sum game, right? If we've got Republicans that we don't like, but they'll vote past the Save America Act, re-elect them. Right? Re-elect them, give them your support. Because there are those consequential votes that really, really matter. Now, on the all-in podcast, which again is made up of some lefties, some righties, not even righties. They're the righties that are on this podcast are former lefties, right? But the the proposition was being asked, what would happen if Kamala Harris could would have won? And there's some interesting things happening, right? We've got the rise of AI, we've got obviously an entire economic, the world economic system is shifting under our feet. But if Kamala Harris would have been elected, we would be very differently positioned as a nation. And I would I would subject before we listen to this clip, we would be subverse subservient to China, who would lead the way in AI and in cryptocurrencies both.

SPEAKER_13 1:05:01

And I think on our issues of AI, I think we're really lucky that he's the president who's in the White House when this AI revolution is happening.

SPEAKER_09 1:05:09

I mean, do an alt history, Sachs, what would happen if Kamala Ding dong was in right now? And we'd have like no data centers.

SPEAKER_13 1:05:15

We'd have no data centers and they'd be using AI to censor us and they'd be promoting DEI values through AI. That was in the Biden executive order. President Trump just wants the country to win and be successful. And he doesn't have these like doomer neuroses about it. That's not to say we don't support any regulation at all, but we should have specific solutions for specific problems, as opposed to being cowering in fear over this and just trying to halt all progress. And I think a really good example of that was his idea around data centers, where he said over a year ago, before data centers even became a hot political topic, that we should let our AI companies stand up their own power generation behind the meter. And that's a much better approach than the Bernie Sanders approach of just shutting everything down. So I don't know. I think we're like very fortunate that he's the president during this critical time.

Driver Monitoring And The Right To Travel

SPEAKER_15 1:06:04

Okay. Ron, I sent you that Mark 37 link. Go ahead and put that in the chats. I want people to be able to explore that as soon as possible. So he mentions the AI data centers and what the Democrats, had they won, what they would have been doing with them. And what was that? They would be censoring you, right? And this extends to both financial and every other way. So I want to I want to look across look over the horizon here for a second. Look, let's look over the horizon. We as peasants, we are best served when we're a step ahead of our masters. Okay. We're best served when we are a step ahead of them. So we know the dangers that AI could impose upon us, but we also know the immense amount of benefit that they could offer to us as a human species, right? So it's just like every, it's just like every breakthrough. The printing press was a double-edged sword. It was horrible for the Catholic Church. It was excellent for the peasant, right? It democratized information, the proliferation of information. You're only good as good as the information you have. The internet is a double-edged sword. It was horrible for transparency into government, but it was excellent for what? You and I to broadcast to all of our peasant friends across this big network. Okay. So there's a double-edged sword to all of these technological breakthroughs. Let's talk about AI first and information that AI gets. This is a clip about Ford. All vehicles are now going to be required, I think, starting in 2027 or 2028, to use this type of technology. And Ford submitted some patents, and those patents were broken down by this gentleman here. And this is this is a one of those things where we you have to sit back and go, huh, this is coming. There are real positive benefits to this technology, but there's also a dark side to it. And depending on who's in charge and how do they utilize it, this could be a huge blessing, or it could be one of the most devastating, damaging things to one of our rights, which is the right to travel.

SPEAKER_34 1:08:13

Now imagine there was an emergency outside the truck, an accident, something terrible on the ranch with a chainsaw. And I jump in this truck, but the truck, it won't shift into drive. Why? Because the cameras and sensors inside this cab won't let it shift because it detects my eyes are big. There's a lot of emotion, there's some panic, and it doesn't feel that I'm fit to drive. Now that's not science fiction. That is happening because Ford just filed the patents. Ford actually has a series of patents down at the U.S. Patent and Trade Office that deal with the sensors and cameras inside the cab of their truck. And if the sensors in that truck determine that you're not fit to drive, that truck will not actually shift from park to drive. Now they already have a system called telematics, and that's where they can actually pull up cameras in real time inside the cab of their fleet vehicles. Now, they actually market this to insurance companies because the truth is, this is really about who owns the data and who owns the liability. Now your name might actually be on the title of this truck, and you may have paid for it, but you don't own it. Now, Ford didn't file just one patent. They filed a stack of them all within months of each other. Are you sitting down? Get this. This Ford technology patent doesn't just watch you, this one puts you in jail. Ford filed a patent, serial number 0104469, where the system takes your biometric data, your face, your iris, and your fingerprint, and it runs it through a criminal database in real time. While you're sitting in your own truck, think about what that means. You wake up one morning, you walk out to your driveway, you climb into a vehicle with your name on the title, on property with your name on the deed. And before you go anywhere, before you've done a single thing wrong, your truck is already running your face through a law enforcement database. Ford's own patent language describes this as potentially useful for police. They wrote that. Ford wrote that into the patent application. So the question isn't whether this technology can be abused. Ford already told you who it's for. You just didn't know that you were buying a cop car. Now I'm going to walk you through a few of these patents. Lip reading, cameras inside your cab, machine learning trained on lip movement data sets. Cloud connected, your face processed somewhere you'll never see stored as long as they want. Acoustic lip reading. If the cameras aren't enough, the system emits inaudible sound waves and reads the echoes bouncing off of your mouth. You can't see it, it's just happening. Biometrics, your face, fingerprint, iris, filed February 2024, and it was published August 2025. This one is assigned a serial number because it's real. Ad listening. This is scary. It monitors conversations between everyone in the cab. It serves targeted ads based on what you and others are talking about while you're driving. In Ford's words, maximum opportunity for ad-based monetization. No description of how that data is protected either. None. How about Ford Pro Telematics? Now this one isn't a patent. This one is actually a product page. Right now, fleet managers can pull live in-cabin video feeds of drivers on their phones. Ford markets seatbelt compliance alerts with the explicit benefit of lowering insurance costs. They said it themselves. This is the infrastructure, and once the infrastructure exists, it's going to get used and abused. Now, Ford isn't alone in this. This is an arms race. Smart eye driver monitoring software is already in over 2 million cars globally. The EU's general safety regulation mandates drowsiness systems as standard equipment going forward. GM deployed biometric seat sensors and heart rate monitoring in production trucks.

Secret FISA Interpretations In A SCIF

SPEAKER_15 1:12:11

Tesla has a lot of this technology. And it apparently, you know, I've talked to some people, like one man bought a Tesla for his father who's getting up there in years and kind of drowsy and dozing off and probably a little inattentive. And the self-driver mode and the awareness gives him alerts. He makes him a safer driver. So it's not that these tools can't be helpful. I mean, this could literally extend lifespans, right? I mean, this is a big deal. But what's the other end of this? If we the people don't have control over our government, this is a disaster waiting to happen. So Thomas Massey, again, someone who, you know, we have very mixed emotions about, went into a skiff to see how the United States government is weaponizing all of this data that they can get and all of this intelligence against us. This is important. I want us peasants to be a step ahead of things just a little bit, right? To become aware of this stuff before it becomes in your house. This weekend at our start starting over um presentation in Spokane, we had a gentleman named Caleb from Church and State. He's a radio show podcast over in Spokane, and he represents Mark 37, which is a company that sells ghost phones to help get you off of the spying and the metadata and all that kind of stuff. Really powerful. We already put the links in the chat. That's got our 1776 live referral code. I highly recommend you go check it out. And we'll check it out here together here in just a moment. But you need to understand how important this is for you. I will be making a full conversion to these ghost computers. It's essentially just Linux-based operating systems, but they're set up in such a way that it prevents the exporting of your data. Right. So it's very, very important. And the reason is, and this is Thomas Massey, he's gonna describe what is currently happening at the government between the FBI, CIA, and all these Intel agencies, law enforcement agencies, and how they've just they've essentially gone completely rogue from the United States Constitution to weaponize this data against you. Now you might think, well, I don't do anything wrong. Listen, listen, there's a third amendment that says no quartering of soldiers in your houses. And Caleb presented an idea that I hadn't thought about before. He says, when you have an iPhone or you have a Microsoft-based phone or Google phone, or you're using a Ford truck, you are quartering the police in your home on your property. You're disclosing all that information to them willingly, unknowingly, as if you had a soldier of the enemy staying in your house, listening through the walls to your private conversation with your spouse, right? That is quartering the enemy, the soldiers, the government soldiers, but it's our government. Doesn't matter. The Third Amendment's there for a reason. Okay. The founding fathers couldn't have even imagined a world where you would voluntarily accept one of these people into your home. Oh, you're a spy for the British? Yes, please come stay with me. I'm a rebel patriot.

SPEAKER_08 1:15:15

Well, they didn't know that digital soldiers were a thing. They didn't know that digital soldiers were a thing. I took one of my colleagues, Victoria Sparts, in this in a SCIF. I said, there's a document nobody's looking at. We need to go read. And so we go in the SCIF. It was a letter from Senator Ron Wyden. And I don't know how he has the senators, particularly those on the intelligence committee, they get access to things. When a bill says that they have to notify Congress of something, what they really mean is they have to notify the intelligence committee. And then the intelligence committee just doesn't say anything or they don't even bother to look at it. And so Ron Wyden in the Senate, he's a Democrat, he's on the Intelligence Committee over there. He discovered an innovative loophole they're using to spy on Americans in a way I can't even tell you here because they're the FBI's interpretation of the law is top secret. Yeah, literally, there's a a red and white cover on top of Ron Wyden's letter that says top secret. And uh Victoria Sparts and I went in there and I we read it, it's very troubling. It's an interpretation, a secret interpretation of the FISA law. They can't even tell you how they're interpreting. Now, when you have secret laws, that's when you know your country has gone too far. Yeah. How do you know you're not breaking secret laws? Um, how do you know what your government's doing? Anyways, I show Victoria Sparts this this document, and we look at it, and she said, Well, there's something even worse over in this other skiff across the hallway that you need to see. So uh I we already had our phones locked up, the debt badge was locked up in a little locker. I said, Alright, well, I'll go across the hall and see your other document. It's a an opinion from the FISC, which is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. And these are the folks that it's a court in the sense that there are judges, but they're on loan from the federal courts, and it's a separate court, and there's no adversarial presentation of the fact in a FISA court. I think there should be. I think there should be at least an amik in a friend of liberty in that courtroom. That's one of the uh one of the uh you know, amendments to the FISA reauthorization that we've suggested. Anyways, the FISA court has said, and there's a hundred plus page uh documented over there. By the way, when when Victoria Sparts got it, I heard some of my colleagues saying, Well, the one I saw was only 50 pages. When Victoria got it, she got to the page 50 and realized there were more pages that were missing. So she said, What is this paragraph end here? There's no where's the conclusion? Where's the end of this? And they went and found like 50 more pages to show her. So, anyways, when I went over there, I got to see the interface. I'm sure it was an accidental 106 pages, and it's another secret interpretation of um the the law that the FBI is using in a novel way that allows them, I believe, to under-report abuses of the FISA program. So if you hear in the news that, oh, under Biden, you know, we had 5,000 abuses of FISA by the FBI, self-reported, blah, blah, blah. And under Trump, we've only got 100, and so we don't need to reform this program. Well, if you go in the SCIF and read the top secret documents, opinions of the FISA court judges, it says, well, here's what they're doing that allows them to do things that your law prevents them, should prevent them from doing. Okay, so now I've read two top secret documents in the SCIF. And it's really helpful. Uh I tell you that I was in there with Representative Victoria Sparts because when you go in a SCIF, you leave your smartphone outside and your staff can't be in there. So it really is. You might think like a stupid congressman, it's just it's just voting and getting elected and raising money and and working for team red or team blue. So you don't really have to have a very good IQ to do this job. The reality is when you go in a SCIF, that's all you've got. You don't have a smartphone, so you can't be smart. You do AI, you can't Google, and you can't even ask your staff quite staff questions. And when you get out of the SCIF, you can't tell them what you saw. And so uh Victoria is one of the smartest people I know in Congress. So when you're in there and you can have somebody check your homework and say, hey, did you see what they're doing right here? And you're like, oh, I missed that. Um it's very helpful to go in the SCIF in pairs.

SPEAKER_30 1:20:16

Um remind me, I'm not the constitutional scholar that you are, but I don't remember the section where it allows for secret legal interpretations of secret laws not to be conveyed to Congress and certainly not the public. Which which one was that? I don't remember.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:38

You won't find it in the Constitution, but I think you'll find it in history. Like I think the Romans came up with this, they eventually had secret laws. Like you'll find where some Henry VIII maybe did some of this. Yeah, where some decent governments went off track when they decided that law some of the laws should be secret. And that's a problem. But so no, secret laws, there's no authorization for it in the Constitution. It's a total construct, and I think our founders would be aghast. And what what the two the nature of the two documents I saw were secret interpretations of the law. And you should have you should be allowed to know how the executive branch is interpreting the law. Otherwise, how could, for instance, the Supreme Court rule, or how could you vote for a representative that's going to vote for you if you don't if you don't know what they're voting on and they don't know what they're voting on?

SPEAKER_15 1:21:36

That's a really good question.

SPEAKER_08 1:21:37

Yeah.

Ghost Phones And Practical Digital Privacy

SPEAKER_15 1:21:39

So in light of that information, I want to I want to share with you guys this Mark 37. So Mark 37, that's Mark, the book of Mark, chapter uh 37. Right. So this is this is a scripture quote. This company is very, very good. And what they do is tired of your devices spying on you. And what this has to do is all of that. They'll just buy your commercial data, create secret laws. This is when you're in violation. This justifies our getting a warrant to get your data and you know, whatever they're doing on your phones and your digital stuff and in your cars, all that kind of thing. So these sell these guys sell what are called ghost computers. And so what they do is they take uh a Pixel phone, which is a Google product, but what what Pixel phones allow them to do is strip off all of the Google data, all of the Facebook data, all the data that X that's in the phone that sends what you're doing to their data centers, which then allow them to sell to advertisers and the government. We know for a fact the government is buying this data and or it's being given to them. In the presentation we did in Spokane, he actually went through the charts and showed the patents and all that kind of stuff on how they're utilizing this technology. So they strip out that operating system and they reinstall on phones a system called Linux. On computers, they install a system called uh Zoron, which is a uh a Linux-based operating system. And so, and they also have tablets as well. And so what they do, what it's absolutely a powerful deal here. These guys are, you know, they they're partnered with Patriot Mobile. One of the things that's nice about Patriot Mobile is yes, they do do the big cell phone service services, but they do not share the data. So if you're with the big cell phone services, they just give the data to the government freely. And then you've got other ones like Cricut and a couple others, they also share all the data. But there's freely, there's US, I think it was maybe it was US Cellular and uh Patriot Mobile. They don't share the data. And freely, actually, the only piece of data they shell with Verizon ATT Mobile, which then gets passed on to the government, is your zip code. It's the only piece of information they share. So they're partnered with them, and you can go through and buy these, buy these phones. You know, digital privacy, you can look, you can look at it. I highly encourage people to go to this website and take a look, right? They talk about uh most people feel overwhelmed when starting their privacy journey. There are countless tools, techniques, and technologies to learn from. Where do you begin? And uh they've got a roadmap here that talks about all the things that you can do to basically make it so that you're less visible to the readily available information that the government gathers. They they freely admit, listen, if the CIA is targeting you, there's not a lot they can do, right? But when we're talking about mass surveillance, the filtering of all that data using what was mentioned on the all-in podcast, those AI centers to look at you, these guys will go after that. So I've again, I cannot encourage you enough to go take a look at these guys. You know, taking a look at their phones here, you can see what they've got. They've got all the Pixel phones, all the way from the newest Pixel 9 Pro down to a flip phone if you want to. Very popular, they said, for kids. Parents are buying these phones for their teenagers, right? And and there's all kinds of things. You can download any app you can download on the Android app store, and you can put it in a sandbox on the phone, which basically means it can't export data. What happens in the sandbox stays in the sandbox. Very, very cool. When it comes to laptops, um, and again, I have one of these laptops, and I'll be switching over to it for full use as soon as I have to fix a charging issue on it. But you can see they've got laptops, um, you know, the Lenovo Think Pads, uh touch screens, uh X1 Yoga, right? In fact, isn't this what you have? Don't you have one of these? You've got some Lenovo ThinkPad or something like that over there.

SPEAKER_18 1:25:22

Yeah, it's a workstation.

Fiat Money, Debanking, And Bitcoin Basics

SPEAKER_15 1:25:24

Now, one of the things they will also do is you will, if you have an old laptop or you have an old phone, they will you can send it to them and they will strip off the operating system and put on the new operating system for as low as$295. So you don't even have to buy one from them. They'll they'll help you do it. They are absolutely dedicated to helping us peasants get our privacy back. What do you lose from iPhone? Well, you lose all the spyware, you don't lose any of the applications, right? So that's the thing. The thing about Apple is they are actually the worst of all of them. You're better off with an Android phone because at least we know the exfiltration of data. When it comes to Apple, it's completely like I like the Apple ecosystem. Everything talks to each other. Exactly. That's part of the problem. You're not controlling what it's talking to. My every time one of my kids, because we're on like a big family plan, every time one of my kids like downloads the new update or whatever, all of a sudden everybody's calls show up on my phone. All of our text messages shared. Now, I don't have anything to hide. It doesn't matter. They're gonna advertise to you, they're going to surveil you. Let's say that you're talking about, you know, Joe Biden's presidency, boop, you're on a list. You know what I mean? So don't take it on seriously. Ron, you want to put the link in the chat again. Mark37.com forward slash ref for referral, R E F forward slash live 1776. That's the referral code I'm associated with. If you do buy anything from them, please use the referral code. We get a little something for it. Not a big deal, but you do go to help to support the show and the 1776 live program. So yeah, absolutely take a check at take a look at these guys. I'll be talking more about them. Now, I want to now start talking about the financial system because privacy with your data goes hand in hand with privacy with your money, right? Privacy with your money. And it's all twofold. On one end, when we're talking about saving money and trying to invest in our future, when you're saving in dollar bills, it's like saving in tomatoes. They rot, they depreciate. You know, if you come back in 10 or 15 years, that dollar bill you put away becomes worth less. And the reason for that is because they print the money at no cost, like at no cost. And so here is um, I believe he's he's either Coinbase or Strike. I can't remember. He kind of runs one of these uh Bitcoin exchanges that's helping create an ecosystem where you can pay for things and use your Bitcoin savings around. And there's a quote that's very popular inside of the Bitcoin ecosystem that says, Never work for something that another man can print. For me, it's no

SPEAKER_09 1:28:00

Man should work for what another man can print. And so I don't do dollars strictly be out of just principle. I will not live my life and contribute my time and energy for what another man can print. The property's money needs, scarcity is the most important, but it needs to be saleable and liquid. You need to be able to exchange it at any point for whatever you need. You need to be a liquidity, it needs to be divisible. It's a measuring instrument in an economy. It needs to be able to measure a grain of sand or a professional sports team. So it needs to be able to scale to any transaction size. It needs to be portable. I got to be able to move it. I need to be able to verify its authenticity. If I can't tell the difference between a fake and a real one, these are the properties that define if a money is a good technology to solve the problem. I'll tell you where gold failed. Gold failed when you want a digital economy of billions of people, you were reliant on a central party corporation or government to achieve transaction finality. When gold was physical in the local, I went to the local butcher, gave them a gold coin. I went to the local tailor, gave them a gold coin, and I it was peer-to-peer. Gold was fine. As soon as we scaled the world to billions and we were on the internet, I have to deposit my gold to the government and trust that Bitcoin is digital gold in this. It's not only a physical bare instrument, but it's a it's an a network. It's a network that can achieve transaction finality without the central party. That's why it's better.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:24

I know this is a little cliche to say, but I you really need to just think about it. The US dollar system is a Ponzi scheme.

SPEAKER_15 1:29:34

And if you don't recognize that the US dollar system is a Ponzi scheme, I'll just remind you of this quote again from Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio understands this, Donald Trump understands this, and other sovereign nations understand this, right? Up until recent years, all trend international transactions get settled in dollars. They ultimately get settled through the United States' system, which is what allows economic assassins like Scott Besson, who we love, to utilize it as a weapon against adversarial nations. But it also got turned on we the people. Remember, I got debanked, right? We've played the clip from Nick Fuentes, however vile we may think he is, they took the money right out of his account. Look at the tr look at the protest truckers up in Canada. They froze their accounts. That's a big deal. And sovereign nations take note. And so when Marco Rubio says this, this is not something that's like, hey, well, maybe it's a good investment. Hey, maybe this company will go up. You know, you're not investing in Microsoft in the early 90s or Nvidia a couple of years ago. We're talking about a fundamental shift in people who want to be sovereign, including nation states, on how they transact.

SPEAKER_23 1:30:49

Today, Brazil, in our hemisphere, largest country in the Western Hemisphere, south of us, had a trade deal with China. They're going to from now on do trade in their own currencies, get right around the dollar. They're creating a secondary economy in the world, totally independent of the United States. We won't have to talk about sanctions in five years because there'll be so many countries transacting in currencies other than the dollar that we won't have the ability to sanction them. Today, Brazil in our hemisphere it's a huge deal.

SPEAKER_15 1:31:18

But I thought this was our hemisphere. What do you think about that, Ron?

SPEAKER_18 1:31:23

Well, it just makes sense. I mean, if if nobody's using dollars, why would they listen to you if you wanted to threaten a sanction of some kind? I mean, they'd just say, thanks for nothing. We're just gonna keep on keeping being us. Bye.

SPEAKER_15 1:31:35

Yeah. Now, powers that don't want this to happen, people like Barack Obama, years ago when Bitcoin was an emerging technology, he made a reference to it that was kind of a uh, we can't let this happen. But here's the thing it has happened, right?

SPEAKER_14 1:31:53

It was unstoppable. Because if in fact you can't crack that at all, government can't get in. He's talking about Bitcoin. Then everybody's walking around with a Swiss bank account in their pocket. Yes.

SPEAKER_15 1:32:10

Doesn't that sound great?

SPEAKER_14 1:32:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15 1:32:13

The whole reason Swiss bank accounts were so attractive was because their privacy laws were so strong and they were completely independent of the rest of the system. They actually had the they've historically had the lowest rate of inflation on their currency, which is why you go store your money in their currency. And guess what? Guess what their average rate of inflation has been? It's like seven and a half percent. What is it? Like seven and a half percent. Oh jeez. Yes. Okay. So they're still inflating their currency, but it was more secure than the United States, who was pushing eight percent. And they had privacy associated with it. And they could wire money in and out, and you know, you don't know whose money is being wired in and out. Money Easel says, listening while traveling to see the alligators. I'm so glad you did that. That's awesome. Go check out Mark 37. You guys are Android people already. You should definitely be using these devices because dad's got that house wired up like nobody's business. Do you remember in the Super Bowl? Well, you didn't probably watch the Super Bowl. There was an ad from ring cameras about finding lost pets. I think they could just access your own. It was talking to the Bitcoiners this weekend, Tom and his wife Nicole, they were like, Well, we turned off our ring cameras after that. I'm like, cut the cord, like unplugged them. She's like, No more naked deck time, you know, in about the middle of nowhere. And I was like, Yeah, they're just advertising that that's the first time. Weren't the Seahawks in the Super Bowl this year? They were, they won too. Oh, really? Awesome. That was amazing. All right, so this is Scott Bessett. Contrast this with Barack Obama and Marco Rubio, who's basically like, look, this is inevitable. Five years we won't even be talking about sanctions anymore. That ability to hack into that Swiss bank account that you've got in the palm of your hand.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:47

This administration's commitment to digital assets. It's innovation because there's so many other things that happen around digital assets. And also, it it's it's one of those things that it's one of the most important phenomena that's happening in the world, and the US just ignored it. This administration we ignored it.

Self-Custody And How Much Bitcoin Matters

SPEAKER_15 1:34:11

Why? Because it threatened our sovereignty, right? And we and we saw they saw the risk on the horizon, Barack Obama did. But guess what? It's here. It's here. Now I'm gonna show you you guys this because this is a common question that we get. Is it too late to get in? Okay. So Bitcoin, one Bitcoin, it's the number one, it's divisible, just like a dollar is divisible by a hundred, a hundred pennies. Does that make sense? Bitcoin is divisible out eight decimal places, which is a million. So one dollar is a million, what they call satoshis or sats. Okay. Now, in the past, we've showed the charts before to buy a house 10 years ago, it was 500 Bitcoin. Then seven years ago it was six Bitcoin, and now it's like two Bitcoin, right? It goes down and down and down because of the as they print dollars, the value of Bitcoin stays the same, but the value of the dollar goes down, so it takes more dollars to buy a Bitcoin, right? That's that's what's going on there. So now you get the upside of inflation instead of always the downside. So people are starting to understand that Bitcoin is what's going to create this future's generational wealth. So this is a chart pushing out, projecting out Bitcoin, and it says the survival amount of Bitcoin, how much you need for survival is 0.01 Bitcoin. Okay, so that's like a couple thousand dollars. That's it. For comfort, 0.1 bitcoin. Eric Eric Trump and others have said 0.1 Bitcoin. That's right now, today's value. That's like eight grand. That's a that is at today's at right this moment, that's about$7,645. Yep. Okay, that's all you need in Bitcoin, and that will be comfort in the future. They say that, and comfort is defined as millionaire. Okay. So what they're saying there is at 0.1 Bitcoin, about$7,000 in savings, those will be the millionaires of the future. And everybody knows a millionaire, they're not that rich. They think they are, they're just not that rich. Elite will be 0.21 Bitcoin. These are going to be the people that have net worths, you know, 5 million plus, that kind of thing. What we would wait to that percent. Generational Bitcoin, generational wealth will be in the next probably three to four years, will be represented by the possession of one Bitcoin,$77,000. Wow. Okay. Right now,$77,000 is like somewhere between survival and comfort, right? One Bitcoin will represent generational wealth. And if you can acquire 10 Bitcoin, you're talking dynastic wealth. Dynastic wealth. Wouldn't it be fun if the whole world switched over to Bitcoin and we had a second gilded age? Maybe we would call it the golden age. Yeah. Senator Loomis, Senator Loomis, who's aware of many of the things the government's doing spying, many of the things that's happening behind the scenes with money. She's on the finance committee and she's in, she's one of the senators that's in charge of the Clarity Act, which is forthcoming, which is going to clarify for banks how they can operate with Bitcoin as reserves and investment and all that kind of stuff, borrowing against it. There's already a huge ecosystem for this. Like you can absolutely live on a Bitcoin standard and use the money day to day. I have now met multiple people who say they own no dollars. The only time they do dollars is like if I go to Europe, I don't own Euros. I swipe my Visa card and they convert it to Euros right there at the point of sale. You now have that technology with Bitcoin. You can keep your wealth, your paycheck, everything in Bitcoin and only convert it to dollars at the point of sale. Well, she says, wouldn't it be fun if the whole world got on board with this?

SPEAKER_35 1:37:46

Wouldn't it be fun if the next arms race was not for weapons, it was for Bitcoin? Wouldn't it be fun if the US is buying Bitcoin and it scares China and Russia so they start buying Bitcoin? And we have an arms race over Bitcoin instead of over weapons. That we're we're as globally we're challenging each other to have a secure store of value.

SPEAKER_15 1:38:16

As opposed to the cash reserves that nations have had that have depleted. Oh, by the way, this this last week, guess who came and finally got their gold? So in 1971, when the entire world financial system that was backed by dollar after Bretton Woods was backed by gold, right? Dollars, gold's in the vault, and France sent their warship to New York Harbor to get their gold back from the Bank of New York where it was being stored. And Nixon said, Oh, we're not redeeming gold now. Just like in 33, they won't redeem gold for American citizens. Now we won't redeem it for international sovereigns. And we sent the ship back and we were like, came off the gold standard completely. Well, they finally came and got their gold run. So we now, the United States no longer does not hold France's gold. Okay. Every country is trying to get their money back, real money, not currency, their money, their gold, the reserves that we've held in order to prop up our system. And Bitcoin is a big part of that. Wouldn't it be fun if that was the next arms race? It'd be fun because if you own some Satoshis, you'll get the upside of that. If you don't, you'll own nothing and be happy. Donald Trump understands this clearly. Wouldn't it be great if the United States printed money is what she was saying to buy Bitcoin? What's that going to do to the value of money as compared to the value of Bitcoin?

SPEAKER_18 1:39:35

Oh man.

SPEAKER_15 1:39:36

That's an arms race.

SPEAKER_18 1:39:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15 1:39:38

The first country that officially announces we're literally printing money to acquire Bitcoin. Every other country will do it. And I'll tell you right now, when you look at the balance sheet, Belarus just bought their first Bitcoin. North Korea just made it a critical asset. Country after country after country. Meanwhile, on mainstream news, silence. Why? Because they're in bed with the Democrats who have the opinion that that would create your own Swiss bank account in the palm of your hand. And they definitely don't want the peasants to be wealthy. They don't want to even want you to have guns, let alone money. Donald Trump understands it. He understands that we have to beat China. Whoever owns the gold makes the rules.

SPEAKER_18 1:40:19

Well, the tax system also seems to be like uh they'll let us have the money, but let's mop it all up with the tax system to make sure there's nothing left so that they have to keep working. Exactly.

SPEAKER_15 1:40:30

So Donald Trump understands that this arms race is already taking place, which is why he's such a big advocate. A, from his own experience being debanked, he now holds his cash value in Bitcoin, one of the largest Bitcoin holders, his family. You know, I don't know, like largest in the world, but he's top hundred for sure. Okay. We have to get there first. We want to beat China at the industry.

SPEAKER_26 1:40:51

We're leading with crypto, we're leading with AI. And I really feel I have an obligation from this as a president. I have to be able to make sure that all of our industries do well. Crypto is a big industry. It's become actually become somewhat mainstream. The banks have it, people have it. And I think as the leader of the country, we want to lead in AI. We want and we're leading China by a lot in AI. And we're also leading in crypto.

SPEAKER_15 1:41:19

Crypto and Bitcoin. They use those terms interchangeably, but there is a difference between the two. But you can see what's happening there. Why is that? Why do we have to lead it? Because we're not going to be able to use the leverage that the dollar provided in years past vis-a-vis what Marco Rubio said. Brazil and China are doing transactions that I mean, Brazil could go full-on terrorist state, and we couldn't do a thing about it without bullets. No more sanctions, no more backroom deals, no more leverage, total transparency on the transactions. We can see what they're doing. Can't do anything about it. You know, they just froze a bunch of crypto assets that Iran had. Froze like the U.S. Tether and all these cryptocurrencies. You know how much you know how much money they've been able to confiscate from Iran in terms of Bitcoin? Zero dollars. Zero Bitcoin. Interesting. It's unconfiscatable, it's unsanctionable. You've got to take our our our Bitcoin class at 1776 Live to understand this completely. Again, you got to go check it out. 1776live.us. When we did this presentation in Spokane this week, I felt like there was this absolute go ahead and put the River link in there as well. If you want to get in a Bitcoin, the thing is you've got to get off zero. And River is the easiest way to do it. Follow the link that's in the chats, and I'll put it in the show notes too later when I when I upload the audio. Um, you've got to go to River. Get off zero. Get a Bitcoin, a Satoshi. You know, getting a Bitcoin is probably not a possibility for most people, but get a Satoshi. Get something. Start making that conversion. Learn how to use it because your future depends on it, right? When it comes to AI and what they're going to be able to do spying, you definitely don't want them to use your behavior in your Ford truck to freeze your bank accounts because that's going to happen to somebody somewhere, and it could be you. Right? So ghost phones is going to prevent them from knowing that they need to sanction you. And Bitcoin is going, especially in self-custody. Again, you've got to take the class. It is a technology. You've got to learn how to use it. That class is going to help you be able to secure that wealth so you can, in fact, like Obama said, have a Swiss bank account in the palm of your hand. Even the United States military last week started talking about this. This is from the Simply Bitcoin podcast. I actually really enjoy these guys. And they talk about how the United States military is now getting involved in Bitcoin as a projection of power. Oh, but I thought Bitcoin was fake.

SPEAKER_29 1:43:52

But what if the Pentagon sees it as something much bigger? This week, four-star commander Sam Paparo, the man overseeing the most strategically important naval fleet in the world, suggested that Bitcoin may not just matter as money, but as a national security asset.

SPEAKER_11 1:44:20

We have a node on the Bitcoin network right now. We're doing a number of operational tests to secure and protect networks using the Bitcoin.

SPEAKER_29 1:44:30

Even in those clips, he doesn't explain the real reason why the United States military is adopting Bitcoin. And this is where things get really interesting.

SPEAKER_11 1:44:39

And so I am I I think this protocol is here to stay. I think the computer science of it has direct implications for the projection of power.

SPEAKER_29 1:44:50

Today we're breaking down what Admiral Paparo says the real reason that the United States military wants to adopt Bitcoin. Why Jason Lowry may have been years ahead of the curve, and why Bitcoin may be evolving from a financial asset into an instrument of state power. This is Dante Cook of Bitcoin simply. Let's go.

SPEAKER_15 1:45:07

All right. You got to go watch that whole clip if you want to hear all the details. But Ron.

SPEAKER_18 1:45:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15 1:45:14

I mean, I thought it was just like a bunch of cypherpunks, and I thought, you know, it was like I thought Epstein funded all this and he was behind it, right? That's what the media wants you to believe. Meanwhile, nation states are gobbling it up. Oh meanwhile. Yeah, it's for criminals like the US Navy. Okay. You see that image there with this admiral with all these uniformed officers at the back. We've got a node on the network.

SPEAKER_25 1:45:39

Then why don't I?

SPEAKER_15 1:45:40

That's the Second Amendment. Projection of power. What is what is a firearm, Ron? It's a projection of power. These things go hand in hand. Your free speech, your right to bear arms, your right to tell the police and the government to stay out of your house.

SPEAKER_18 1:45:58

Well, your right to privacy. It get back, it gets back to the Second Amendment is also a projection of power, and they're trying they keep trying to take it away. Exactly.

SPEAKER_15 1:46:09

They keep trying to take it away. And what is one of the states that leads in taking away your right to power, your right to protest, your right to bear arms, your right to financial security? Which state? Which state? Big state, West Coast.

SPEAKER_18 1:46:24

Well, I'm gonna say California.

SPEAKER_15 1:46:26

Yes. And so California this week introduced legislation. I'm not sure if it passed or not, but they've introduced legislation that, again, this should signal to you, even states are trying to acquire Bitcoin. Not just the federal government, not just South Korea, not just Japan, not just Iran, not just Russia, not just China, not just everybody. Not just everybody. Even the state of California is trying to acquire Bitcoin, but they're gonna do it like they try to acquire your firearms. If you have a public custodian, right? So if your Bitcoin's out in a public entity, you're trusting someone else to hold your Bitcoin, hold your keys. It's not yours in your possession. If it's inactive for three years, guess what? Oh, geez. They're gonna take it.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:10

File item 186, AB 1052 by Assembly Member Valencia.

SPEAKER_32 1:47:14

Purple Reed. Assembly Bill 1052 by Assembly Member Valencia and Actloads of Digital Assets.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:20

Assemblymember Valencia, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Once again, we want to start as members. AB 1052 will establish a legal framework to legitimize digital assets, also known as cryptocurrency and blockchain, and unclaimed property law. California must protect consumer assets and embrace the legal recognition of digital assets, crypto and blockchain, as we continue to modernize our economy and the systems in our society without respectful as for yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:49

Thank you, Assembly Member Valencia. All debate having ceased the clip will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

SPEAKER_15 1:48:03

It's a lot of A's. It's a lot of yeses. Alright, so what'd they just do there? This is what it does. They just legalize theft. Well, here's what it is. Communist Hell Hole passed a bill to seize your Bitcoin after just three years of inactivity on exchanges under fake unclaimed property laws. This is government theft and outright communism. Yes, it is. It would be the same as if you put your money in the bank and leave it there for three years, like a savings account.

SPEAKER_18 1:48:27

Yeah, to like to like gain interest and all that. We'll take it. Yeah, we'll take it.

Final Links And Taking Power Back

SPEAKER_15 1:48:31

So you have to take the Bitcoin class because you could, you know, be duped into having your Bitcoin in a public custodian, think you're saving, and then one day log in and go, oh, the state of California just took it from me. So you've got to learn how to take personal custody. Don't put your gold. Do you know in 1933 when uh the executive order was signed by Franklin Roosevelt in order to confiscate Americans' gold to make private possession of gold illegal, right? They didn't go door to door and take it. People voluntarily surrendered it, but you couldn't transact it anymore because you couldn't show it in public. But if you were like, hey, I don't want to have a gold bar sitting in my closet, I could have a house fire, it could melt, I could somebody could break in and steal it. So what would be the safe thing? I'm gonna put it behind the guards, the bank. I'm gonna go to get a safety security box, a deposit, you know, a safety, what is it called? Safety security box deposit box. So you go in there, you put the gold, the coins, the heirlooms, stuff like that. From 1933, I think well into the 70s, you couldn't go into the vault with your key to get your safety deposit box without a bank official standing there. And they had one thing they were looking for gold. So they couldn't open it without you. But if you went in there to open it and get your gold, and you opened it and there was gold, grandma's earrings, some wedding rings, a bar of gold, some coins, thank you very much. And they would give you a cashier's check for the value of it. Just like that. Same thing, but digital now. Leave it in active for three years. We'll just take it as unclaimed property. But they're calling it property. Interesting. All right, guys, that's our show today. Remember, you've got two links in the chat. Mark37.com forward slash REF forward slash live 1776. Go get your ghost phone, secure your data, stop ordering soldiers in your pocket and in your car and on your computer. Right? And then go to river.com and get off zero. Get some Bitcoin and get involved with us at 1776 Live and learn how to take personal custody. And ultimately, the objective here is to take our country back. And we're going to do that through the political remodel. When we have sovereignty, we can project power, like the Admiral said. The United States of America has to maintain sovereignty, and they're using Bitcoin as a tool to project power, and we the peasants, we the people, have to do the same thing. Political Remodel.com. All right, guys, thank you so much. That's the show for today. No private, because we got all of our time in, so we don't have to do it today. That's great. All right, guys, we'll talk to you again tomorrow. Bye.

SPEAKER_21 1:51:28

Old woman! Man! Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there? I'm 37. What? I'm 37. I'm not old. Well, I can't just call you man. You could say Dennis. I didn't know you were called Dennis. Well, you didn't bother to find out, did you? I did say sorry about the old woman, but from behind, you looked. What I objective is he automatically treat me like an inferior. Well, I am king. Oh, king, eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there's ever going to be any progress. Oh! How'd you do? How'd you do, good lady? I'm Arthur, King of the Britons. Whose castle is that? King of the Who? The Britons. Who the Britons? Well, we all are. We are all Britons. And I am your king. I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes. How dare you go? Bringing class into the game. That's what it's all about. If only people would listen to these good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle? No one lives there. 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_22 1:52:53

Yes.

SPEAKER_21 1:52:54

But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting. Yes, I see. By a civil majority in the case of purely internal affairs. Be quiet. But by a two-thirds majority in the case of quiet. I order you to be quiet. All right, does he think he is? I'm your king. Well, I didn't vote for you. You don't vote for kings. Well, how to become king then? The lady of the lake. Her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water. Signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I'm your king. Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Be quiet! Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tarp threw a sword at you. Shut up! I mean, if I went round saying I was an emperor, just because some Moisson bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they put me away! Shut up, will you? Shut up! Ah! Now we see the violence inherent in the system! Shut up! Have we seen the violence inherent in the system? Help, help! I'm being repressed, bloody peasant! Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Do you see repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?
