World War 11 And The Quality Learing Center

Somebody on Capitol Hill really said “World War 11,” and that’s where our morning starts. From there, we pull the thread on what that kind of incompetence hides: real money, real power, and real consequences for the rest of us.

We walk through the Minnesota “Quality Learing Center” daycare fraud story and the DOJ raids that finally show up after the state drifts. Then we hit Congress: Ilhan Omar ethics questions, the familiar “let the process play out” stall, and a brutal reminder that both parties often circle the wagons. The biggest civics moment comes from the EPA hearing blowup, where we break down Chevron deference, the Loper Bright decision, and why administrative agencies can’t keep writing rules that act like law without Congress owning the details.

Next we wrestle with glyphosate, Roundup, Monsanto Bayer, and the ugly tradeoff between cheap food and chronic illness, especially for families who can’t shop like elites. We also connect election integrity fights in Georgia and Virginia with a bigger theme: process gets weaponized, courts aren’t a permanent fix, and rhetoric can push unstable people toward violence. On the world stage we talk Iran sanctions, oil prices, OPEC shifts, and why big defense projects and de-dollarization risks point straight back to inflation.

We close with solutions we can actually control: local organizing, self-custody, and why we keep telling you to get off zero with Bitcoin as a form of financial sovereignty. If this conversation helps you think clearer, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review. What’s the one system you want us to dig into next?

I'm so glad you guys are with us today. Oh, one of you, what's going on here? Do we need to refresh this thing? Let's refresh it, Ron.

SPEAKER_25 1:14

Jeez.

Roads, Old Trails, And Bridge Fallout

SPEAKER_19 1:39

No, I don't think so. We got no, they're coming in. It's just slow. It's slow. Sorry, guys. Audio listeners that listen later. Takes a minute. Kind of, you know, expect people to be here by the intro. We started on there he is. Pony boy, good morning. He got us. He got it. Oh, I love it. Pony boy, big you news today in the oil world. I don't know if you're aware of it, but uh, we'll talk to it about the middle of the show. And then that's you, Ron. Peasants Perspective. Good morning. All right. I know why you guys roll in here. Carlitz, good morning from Massachusetts. We got Boston in the house. That's great. Yeah, Boston's in Massachusetts, right? Of course it is. I've never been. I hear the roads are horrible. Have you ever been to Boston?

SPEAKER_25 2:19

No. But I've been on the turnpike from Pennsylvania to um, and that's all you have to say because if you as soon as you say turnpike, it's a private road, horrible. Oh my gosh, I thought the shocks on our car were gonna die.

SPEAKER_19 2:33

That's what I've heard. That's what I've heard. I've heard that Boston, too, because it's an old wagon town, right? It wasn't designed with automobiles, so the roads are like Well, not just that.

SPEAKER_25 2:42

The uh the roads are some of them are made out of concrete and their panels. Oh, so and then over time it's like you could do that for like 400 miles and go insane.

SPEAKER_19 2:54

But you're gonna have to let us know how bad the roads are out there. I just heard they were hard to navigate back before GPS and Teslas self-driving you everywhere you need to go. It was like, where did I miss my turn? The roads are.

SPEAKER_25 3:05

Well, it is true that some of the roads in especially in central Pennsylvania are just old Indian trails.

SPEAKER_19 3:11

Yeah. We're so spoiled with the interstate system. It's kind of like a straight shot everywhere under the valleys. Doug Wyatt, good morning. How are you doing? Baltimore's got bad roads too. Lots of winding roads. I remember being shackled up, driving by the uh Francis Scott Key Bridge, dug in the car, and it was after it was hit with that boat, so it had collapsed. It was like crazy, man. Like this massive bridge just completely ball, like the steel bent every different direction.

SPEAKER_25 3:40

And there's almost nobody I know. I in fact, there's nobody I know that can say a sentence like that.

SPEAKER_19 3:46

What say it again? Well, when Doug and I were in the uh police band shackled up, heading from DC to the prison Pennsylvania, thrown by the Franciscott Bree Bridge. Nobody wasn't doing their job that morning. Not that I can do anything about it. I remember when that happened and I was in prison, and immediately there were all these like Q people that were sending us messages, and there were a few people in the pod that were really into that.

SPEAKER_18 4:11

They're like, oh, this is this is uh Trump taking out whatever, and all they just replaced the FDI, you know, person in that area that morning.

Simultaneous Sip And World War 11

SPEAKER_19 4:18

It's like calm down, we're in jail. Yeah, turns out it's just a bad electrical panel, like stuff happens, you know. Anyways, at least that's what they tell us. That's what they tell us. Not every catastrophe is a uh black false flag, if you know what I'm saying. Yeah, all right, guys. I know why you guys all piled in here bright and early. You're here for the simultaneous sip. And all you need is a cup or a mug, a tankard, a stein, a mug, or a glass, a vessel of any kind, and fill it with your favorite liquid this morning. I've got just a little bit of coffee left in my cup. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day as we laugh at one of the dumbest members of Congress. Uh-oh.

SPEAKER_44 4:59

The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked, it was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants doing World War 11.

SPEAKER_14 5:14

Welcome to the Quality Learing Center.

DOJ Raids Minnesota Daycare Fraud

SPEAKER_19 5:19

World War 11. I feel like she's a time traveler. You know what I'm saying? I think she meant to say World War II, but she doesn't know what Roman numerals are. Probably because she did go to the Quality Learing Center. Speaking of the Quality Learning Center, something big is happening this morning. Guess what? Months after Nick Shirley went and did an expose in Minnesota on all the daycares, the Department of Justice has finally gotten around to looking into it.

SPEAKER_24 5:45

Now, large-scale raids targeting federal fraud currently underway. Federal agents seem leaving the Quality Learning Center. Must be recessed. Just this morning. Brooke, good morning.

SPEAKER_33 6:01

Hi, Bill. Good morning. Yeah, we have had a photographer there at the daycare since this morning capturing video of those federal agents just going in and out of the building, collecting evidence as part of the DOJ's fraud investigation in Minnesota. Take a look at this video here. Sources tell Fox that federal agents are raiding about 22 businesses across Minneapolis this morning. And sources say many of them are tied to Somali-owned operations. All of this comes after that viral YouTube video from Nick Shirley. It was back in December. In that video, he visited different child care centers. And you'll remember they were either closed or there were just no children inside, despite receiving state child care funding. Now, the location that you're looking at right now, it's the Quality Learning Center. This is the daycare. It went viral. It blew up on social media because of a sign outside with learning that was literally misspelled. The education secretary at the time claimed that the daycare received$1.9 million while, quote, masquerading as a daycare. And then shortly after that, the Trump administration announced it was freezing childcare funding to Minnesota and calling for a full audit of certain daycare centers. And just checking my emails now. It looks like we got a statement from DHS sharing, quote, homeland security investigations in cooperation with our law enforcement partners.

SPEAKER_25 7:32

What are you taking pictures of?

SPEAKER_33 7:39

And as you could see, there are federal agents still outside. What did those daycare centers where they have been the last few hours?

SPEAKER_19 7:48

So the shocking thing about this is the sheriff didn't show up. Like these were state funds that came from the feds, right? So Fed pays the state, state then distributes the money. Okay. The state didn't raid them, the sheriff didn't raid them. The local police department didn't raid them. Yeah. And so the fact that the Department of Homeland Security is doing this means there's probably some immigration tie-in. And also that the DOJ is involved means they're not investigating the learing center, they're investigating the state. Uh-huh. That's what I think is going on here. I think so too. Which is makes sense because when you look at Tampa on Tim, it's like, of course it wasn't going to do it, you know. And and Larry Ellis, who was taking kickbacks from some of these Somali fraudsters, we have it on tape, Larry. You know what I mean? Like it's not even a super secret. Oh man. And you know, Minnesota produces some of the best of them. I mean, here you've got Ilan Omar, you know, I she I think she has her kids enrolled at the Learing Center, if I'm not mistaken. I can't be certain. But, you know, Miss World War 11 here. You people are just idiots.

SPEAKER_44 8:52

I really, you know, I'm I'm at the point where it's become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any of these people. The the dumbing of the United States has arrived because how else do we get a Trump presidency again?

Ilhan Omar Questions And Congress Shields

SPEAKER_19 9:07

I mean, you know, World War 11. You'd think that like the moment she said that, she'd be like, I wonder what the other world wars were. I mean, I thought we stopped at two. Are we we were we jumped to 11? Obviously, obviously, she misread the Roman numerals. Sure. Right? Obviously, she misread the Roman numerals. I hope. No, no, we heard yesterday Ilan Omar on the Breakfast Club with Charlemagne the God. I'm Taylor the peasant, right? Not quite as provocative, you know, but with Charlemagne the God, on she said, Well, nobody has jurisdiction over me. I mean, the House Ethics Committee, an oversight committee, doesn't have oversight of me, a House member. So, you know, it's like, why hasn't anything been done here? Well, Nancy Mace got asked in the halls of Congress or one of these office buildings around there by the Lindell TV reporter who gets some of the best hot takes in DC why she hasn't been investigated.

SPEAKER_40 10:03

Congressman, where do we stand on the investigation into Ilhan Omar? Obviously, there's some um, you know, questions regarding her citizenship. She's been referred to the ethics committee. Can we trust the ethics committee to actually be ethical and do the right thing?

SPEAKER_32 10:15

Well, uh, what's happened so far? Like really, I think the the the mark, the remark is always let the process play out, right? That's what they always say, and nothing ever never happens. I tried to subpoena her um immigration records, her brother husband's immigration records. And uh I was it was Republicans that killed my emotion. Yeah, and what's going on with that? Do you have any more insight you can share on that? As far as I know, nothing's going on, nothing will go on. That's just that's Congress for you because both sides protect the other. Yeah, yeah. Thank you very much. Appreciate it.

EPA Hearing Clash Over Climate Claims

SPEAKER_19 10:46

It's really hard to know. Like some of these politicians, I mean, Massey's one of them, where it's like, I love what you're doing, I hate what you're doing. I have issues with Thomas Massey big time, but at the same time, I'm wildly grateful to Thomas Massey for exploring the J6 stuff and a lot of what he does, it aligns with our value sets. I I just find myself being a little bit like you need to let Trump clean house, and when you're obstructing on like pet issues, it's hard. Some of these pet issues are kind of important, you know what I mean? And especially when you see what Nancy Mace just alluded to, also another one of these kind of conflicted people to complains about sexual harassment, but she herself has some sexual harassment issues going on. And so it's like, why can't we coalesce? You know what I mean? Is it is it that we have four good guys and Trump has the Rhino party under his thumb and you guys prevent him from getting his votes? Or is the rhino party truly screwing Trump left and right, and you know, you guys are the the watchdogs? I don't know, man. Uh Pony Boy says happy Tuesday or Pray the Rosary Daily, excuse me, and Pony Boy, World War 11. I know, man. It's so funny. The last time the Alice and Aliens Act was used was World War 11. Speaking of dumb politicians, here's another example of dumb politicians. Yesterday, Lee Zeldon was testifying at the in the house about clean air and all, you know, all the all the EPA stuff. A lot of the budget, the cuts that they've made. And this is this is oh, what is her name? This is uh Rosa Delaro, and she, I think she's from New Hampshire, and she's talking to Lee Zeldon about why he got rid of you know climate change and a bunch of these different bills and the Clean Water Act. And the caption here, Lee Deldon says, nothing infuriates. This is Lee Zeldon's post. Nothing infuriates an uninformed congressional democrat more than when they realize they've voluntarily triggered the a debate with someone who actually knows what they're talking about. He reads federal statutes and adheres to Supreme Court precedent. Today's self-implosion is Rosa Delaro. This is this is golden.

SPEAKER_31 12:55

When climate change is flooding our streets, poisoning our air, driving up health care and disaster courts, how can the EPA justify abandoning that duty to protect Americans, to appease polluters under the false flag of economic growth?

SPEAKER_17 13:10

Following the law, Section 202 of the Clean Air Act, where does it say anything about fighting global climate change? Loper Bright, Supreme Court case, you're familiar with it? No, I I I maybe others are not, but let me ask you. But that's really important. As a member of Congress, Loper Bright says that we as an agency don't have the authority to get creative. If Section 202 of the Clean Air Act, no, no, but you don't have, excuse me.

SPEAKER_31 13:35

You do not have the right to say climate change does not exist, that it's a hoax, and that's where this administration can be.

SPEAKER_19 13:43

Isn't that interesting? A Democrat, you don't have the right to say there is no point ever. Look, I I want Americans, the peasants, to understand this. If someone leads a sentence that way, you don't have the right to say, just say, I have the right to say anything I want. I can't always choose the consequences of what I say. But the whole point is, you don't get to determine what I say. I can say anything I want. True, false, lie, con. Doesn't matter what it is. That's First Amendment territory. Yeah, you don't have the right to say, I have the right to say anything I want. Anything I want. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah. So this is a fundamental misunderstanding of our rights. But nonetheless, she's get she's gonna get tallywacked here.

SPEAKER_17 14:25

I don't know what Loperbright is. Do you know what the major policies doctrine are? I'm accept I'm upset because you know what the major policies doctrine is? You're a member of Congress, you should know.

SPEAKER_31 14:33

Well, you're you're you you you have moved from someone who defended the environment to all of a sudden.

SPEAKER_17 14:39

I'm very defensive about not knowing the two biggest landmark Supreme Court cases of the last year. Now, you just want me to tell you what the two biggest Supreme Court cases are of the last few years? This is what I want you to do. Michigan vs. EPA. Whoa. West Virginia vs. EPA.

SPEAKER_31 15:00

You know, you're here because you need money from us. So halt for the second and wait for the questions and answer the question.

SPEAKER_17 15:06

Well, I answered your question and you didn't like my answer because you don't know what Loperbright is, because you don't know what the major policies doctrine is. Because you you're asking me you're asking me about Section 202 of the Clean Air Act, and you don't you don't read it. You don't know what it says. Listen, and what you want to do is to deny you want to. No, I actually read the law. I do my homework. Really? You're just somebody who likes to have the microphone on. You know what I have to do? I read the law, I read the Supreme Court cases. And I would say that. No, you what you should do for your constituents is actually read statute. Read your Supreme Court. Appropriations, now you're threatening to defund it? Oh my god, no, you don't fund because you don't know what Loper Bright is. Because you don't know what the major policies doctrine is. Your message to our c our folks at the EPA is that you wanted to fund us. BS. You think I made up these cases? Yeah, I think you have made up all I made I made up Loper Bright. I made up West Virginia versus EPA. I made up Michigan versus EPA.

SPEAKER_31 16:07

Well, whoa is right.

SPEAKER_19 16:09

Uh, what what are you doing? Dude, it's pretty wild. That's that's Congress, man. Nobody ever wants to see all the sausage is made, do they? Nobody wants to see it.

SPEAKER_25 16:19

These are the days of our lives.

Chevron Deference And Loper Bright Explained

SPEAKER_19 16:20

Oh my gosh. So the Loper Bright decision, what this was, and this built on a few cases. Go back to 1984. There was a decision called Chevron, uh, um, it was something Chevron. They call it the Chevron decision. And what it created was it created an executive branch um carve out for rulemaking. So, for example, the Congress could pass a law, the Clean Water Act, and essentially the Clean Water Act says we want clean water, and then it it allowed the EPA to determine how we got clean water. So instead of the legislator voting on all the independent laws, the EPA or any other executive department agency could determine the rules on how to achieve that. And those rules got force of law. People went to jail, people paid fines, businesses were shut down, not based on an act of legislature, but based on rulemaking that was done by stakeholders and back rooms, and it was a very opaque process. This that bill, the Chevron Deference bill, was cited like 44,000 times. It was the second most cited bill in court cases next to Marbury versus Madison, which established judicial review. AKA, they would quote it and say the judiciary has a right to review this bill based on Marbury versus Madison. That's like opening paragraph type citations. Chevron Deference was basically saying, no matter what the legislature said, here's what we say. And I I'm very familiar with this because the Bureau of Prisons cited it in 1,500 cases, essentially saying it doesn't matter what the legislature said about how we treat prisoners or how we calculate good time or anything. We're just going to do it the way we want to do it to achieve the outcomes we want.

SPEAKER_25 18:07

You don't need to know.

Glyphosate Dilemma For Food And Health

SPEAKER_19 18:08

So the local bright decision, what that did is it overturned that. It said the executive branch does not have rulemaking. The law is what the law is. The legislature has to flex some muscle and they have to make the rules themselves. This Josh Hawley submitted a bill to try to review all the cases and all the laws that were written since uh Chevron Deference because the legislature got lazy. Hey, we want clean water. And then the EPA would go determine that your mother's wetland was navigable waterways, thereby giving them jurisdiction over something. And there's not even a stream here. Well, it's navigable waterways, it touches water, right? And so the legislature would then campaign on like, well, I'm gonna fix this one problem in the law, and I'm gonna say that your mom's wetland isn't navigable waterways. So it's like they got multiple bites at the apple. Campaign on clean water, okay, we all get a win. Okay, campaign on fixing some little issue that the EPA caused because the legislature was lazy. And he goes, We'd actually don't even know how to write legislation that goes through all the little possibilities on how you do something. They want to campaign on titles. Inflation Reduction Act, go figure out how to do it. Uh Clean Water Act, go figure out how to do it. You know, preserve it because the titles are the titles are the narrative. The titles are the narrative, and then they would leave to the executive branch to determine what it meant. And what Chevron Deference did was it bound the judges to basically read what the executive branch said about their opinion on the law and take that as if the legislature had passed it. That was overturned. So when you've got a lady like that being like, you don't have a right to criticize climate change, I don't have a right to do anything other than interpret the law as it's written. Right. This has created quite a log jam in Congress. Another thing that came up in this hearing, and this is one of those issues where uh many of us are split. I know I'm split on this issue. It's the issue of glycephate. Okay. Right? Monsanto, then bought out by Bayer. It's Roundup.

SPEAKER_25 20:07

Well, I think it's easy, it would be easy for almost everybody to get um talked into um one side or the other, or both sides, because it's so important to our economy. It's so important to, you know, people to have food.

SPEAKER_19 20:23

You know, there are these situations that we as Americans and the elite, the people who can afford to shop at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, they don't have a lot of sympathy for the average American or someone who's on welfare or anything like that. Well, it doesn't impact them for the it doesn't impact them, the cost of food, right? Like, and it's again the elite, they they can absorb extra gas prices. It's the poor that pinch every penny and never fill up their gas tank. They're putting a couple gallons. I remember when I was going through financial struggles, going to the gas station and walking in and handing the the guy like a buck 75. And I'm like, I'd like three-quarters of a gallon of gas, please. Right. Right, it was just enough to get to my office and home for the day. I've done that a few times. Yeah, when it's when it's I remember going into the uh apartment complex, into the clubhouse and stealing toilet paper. Like walking out with a couple rolls on my current, I just saved 85 cents. It can get kind of rough, right? So they don't really have sympathy for that. The glycophate is one of those issues because of again, go read the Bitcoin standard and then the following book, the Fiat Standard. The the value proposition for big ag over small farms that could do regenerative farming and things like that. We are just not in a position in this country where we can just ban uh glycipate because uh we would lose a huge percentage of food production because the whole farming industry is built around that, and that's how we provide enough bread for people. Now, simultaneously, what are we doing? We're poisoning people with that, right? So it's it we're backed into a corner here. So she's bringing up this glycipate Monsanto issue. And she actually encourages Lee Zeldon to basically kill himself.

SPEAKER_17 22:05

I don't say is that your question? I'd say don't if that if your cup was filled with glyphosate, I'm telling you as the administrator of EPA, don't drink it.

SPEAKER_31 22:13

Thank you so much for agreeing to what we need to do.

SPEAKER_17 22:16

I don't know what the question was. You you're holding up a cup saying glyphosate. You know, don't drink it, don't inject it.

SPEAKER_31 22:23

Maybe you should try doing that. Okay, excuse me.

SPEAKER_19 22:27

Maybe you should try doing that. Wow, I think she's a little bit upset. She should go read Loper Bright to calm down. So yesterday there was a there was a press conference slash protest on the at the Capitol about this glycophate thing. Because if you remember back a couple months, Trump signed an executive order that kind of raised a lot of eyebrows where he declared that glycophate was a critical, uh not a critical mineral, but you know, basically protected the supply chain of glycophate because as stuff starts going down with China and Iran and all this stuff, glycophate has a huge petrochemical base. And so he wanted to make sure that now we can produce glycophate to poison our own Americans instead of getting it all from overseas. It's America made. So this is Banny Hari. She's the author of um uh she's a New York Times bestselling author. It's right here in the Chiron. She's a food activist and founder of the Food Babe and Truvanni. So she partnered up with RFK Jr., who very much is opposed to glycipate, Monsanto, and Roundup, et cetera, et cetera. It is poison. Even using it around your property, increased rates of cancer. It's in our food, it breaks the gut, the uh the gut um the stomach lining or whatever, it gets into the brain. It is really bad. Like on a whole, why are Americans chronically ill? Glycephate. Why do Americans feel crappy after a high carb meal? A big part of it is glycophate. You go to Italy or a lot of parts of Europe where they don't have that, you can have a big plastial. You feel fine, right? You hear people say that all the time. So, this is Van Hari talking about how this administration is fighting them on this glycipate deal and is essentially campaigning and and uh committing law fare to try to continue its use in American farms.

SPEAKER_35 24:11

And pretending this is normal. And let's be very clear. You cannot claim to care about health while protecting poison. You cannot tell Americans to eat real food while protecting the cancer-causing chemicals sprayed on it. You cannot stand with families inside with one of the most evil corporations in the world. Let's be honest. We wouldn't be here right now if President Trump didn't sign that executive order. We wouldn't be here right now if they were inside this building arguing on Monsanto's behalf. We wouldn't be here right now if they didn't submit that amigo brief and that recommendation to the Supreme Court to look at this case when they've lost all over this country. You cannot stand with families and do that. We would not be here right now if Monsanto Bear wasn't pushing legal shields through every branch of government, including the farm bill today at Congress.

SPEAKER_19 25:34

So one of the that executive order provided immunity from Monsanto from all the lawsuits. Every time someone sues Monsanto Bear, they're they're the same company now. Bayer bought out Monsanto, yes, the aspirin baker from Germany. Yeah, um, every time they get sued, they're found guilty. I mean, it's just because they cause cancer, it's bad for the environment, it's bad for the water, it's bad for everything. They lose like every single time. And so what but what's happening now is the Trump administration is giving them like blanket immunity because we have to have Monsanto for farming purposes. Now, if you remember, the main purpose of Monsanto is it kills the weeds, but then the farmers also have to buy genetically modified crops in that survived the weed killer. And so it creates a monocrop agriculture and the crops are genetically modified, they're getting sprayed with these chemicals that didn't get passed through into the food supply. Like, there's nothing about this as good except for our dependency on big ag. Right. Uh, Debbie 6265 says, unless the people come to out of the basement and pull weeds, what is a farmer to do? Use vinegar. There are other weed killers that you can use that are natural and don't that are not Monsanto. The whole point of Monsanto was it doesn't kill the crops they genetically modified, right? Lysophate and Roundup were produced in conjunction with genetically modified plants. Patented seeds. Patented seeds, which of course kills the small-time farmer because he has to buy new seeds every year. And eventually you have to get like a contract and credit agreements. It is a freaking disaster. And of course, if you're a farmer who doesn't want to buy their seeds and you want to harvest a certain percentage of your crop to have seeds next year, and the wind blows, and even one of their little seeds makes it across the way to your farm.

SPEAKER_25 27:18

Now you're you're you're contaminated, you're sued, you're out of business.

SPEAKER_19 27:22

Yeah, some of the chemicals allowed in organic crops are banned overseas, too. Oh, I know. The organic label is not organic all the time. Now, Thomas Massey was at the same protest, and he explains, and this again, politics is a dirty business. You get the good and the bad. There's a lot of great things that Susie Wiles does for Donald Trump, but Susie Wiles herself comes from a lobbying background, and she has taken quite a bit of money from Monsanto Bear. And so it kind of makes you go, is Trump getting the best advice here? Now keep in mind, Trump is like a fast food guy, right? I mean, like, not a problem with the McDonald's buns, if you know what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_06 28:02

The White House chief of staff worked for a lobbying firm that accepted money from Monsanto Bayer, and that is wrong. That is why we have an executive order that we are fighting. The federal government and especially the executive branch do not have this power to issue these get out of court free cards, and we're gonna fight it. Thank you, and God bless.

SPEAKER_19 28:26

What a tough position to be in. I mean, really truly. Again, the class of people that can go to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's and can afford the increase in food costs, they don't see this as an issue. The people that are dependent on Walmart foods and you know cheap foods that never buy organic because they're trying to save that 75 cents or a dollar per package, like this is a big deal. Um, I think long term, I think the awareness of this is significant. You know, like in 10 or 15 years, we might have better food standards and you know, regenerative farming might take off and all that kind of stuff. But in the short term, like all of the farms that can go regenerative that are under the control of small families and stuff like that, they're a fraction of the total food supply.

SPEAKER_25 29:15

Well, if we're not able to fix this, this is gonna turn to class warfare very quickly. Yeah.

Illegal Labor, Georgia Politics, Election Trust

SPEAKER_19 29:19

And there's an overlap here, too. Now, back when Bernie Sanders was asked about open borders, and he goes, Open borders is a Republican policy. It's from the Koch brothers. So the Koch brothers have long for many, many years represented the conservative side of the aisle. And who that who is that? That was farmers, that was you know, people that were out in the country. It was it's kind of this this different group of people that have a different economic system going on, and that economic system was very propped up by illegal immigration. Okay, so you had conservatives that are socially conservative, they're anti-LGBT anything issue, clearly anti-DEI. They don't hire Hispanic immigrants because, hey, I've got to fill my quota of a couple minorities on the farm. That's not why they were hired. Yeah, it's cheap labor. And so what this does is this starts to spill over in into um you know big time politics. So depending on your perspective, right, you might vote for a Republican because you support his social stances, anti-abortion, etc. But at the same time, they support something that is absolutely destroying our economy, and that includes illegal immigration. In Georgia, they had the gubernatorial debate for the Republicans yesterday, and this is one of the candidates, and he's a big business owner, and he just gets asked straight up, do you employ illegal immigrants?

SPEAKER_22 30:43

That's who I am.

SPEAKER_21 30:44

Illegals working for you right now.

SPEAKER_20 30:48

Am I supposed to answer it again? Well, you have 30 you have 30 seconds, Mr. Jones, to respond.

SPEAKER_21 30:53

I just asked him. You don't have any illegals working for you right now or in the past?

SPEAKER_22 30:58

I don't know. I don't know. That's the reason why. You're talking about a domestic person that somebody hired. I hired thousands of people. I hire thousands of people a year, Bert. I know you have uh about six yourself, but I hire thousands of people, other people harm, we obey the laws, we use E9 very yes or no answer.

SPEAKER_21 31:20

It's just a yes or no answer.

SPEAKER_20 31:22

Take 15 seconds, Mr. Jones, and we'll wrap this up and move on.

SPEAKER_21 31:24

No, I'll just I'll just it's just a yes or no answer. Ask him if he has illegals working for him right now, and he can't. He he said he did, and then he said he didn't. So all right, Mr.

SPEAKER_20 31:34

Carr, it's your turn to ask a question to the candidate of your choice.

SPEAKER_19 31:36

There's a reason why Elon Musk thinks there's going to be such a market in farms for robots. And in the next generation, the question is gonna be do you have any robots working for you? They took our jobs. You know what I mean? Did you fill out the right forms? Did you fill out the right forms? Yeah. Uh in that same debate, do you remember Brad Raffensberger? Do you remember who he is? Not really. Oh man. The ombudsman of the people. So Brad Raffensberger was the Secretary of State in Georgia during the 2020 election. And he's the one who basically certified the election, said, Nothing to see here, folks. Remember, the ballots in Fulton County have been taken. Like they we ended up with two Democratic senators in Georgia. Okay. And Brad Raffensberger was asked, Did you make a mistake in the 2020 election? Now remember, this is after the FBI came and took the ballots. Tulsi Gabbard was there. You guys remember this? Right? This is after all the information that's come out. This is after the 2000 mules documentary showing the NGOs and Stacey Abrams and all those people basically having mules dropping ballots off at drop boxes. You'd think it would be really easy for him to be like, oh yeah, there were some problems there that we didn't know in real time. He's the one who had that Trump had the phone call with where he says, Brad, I just need you to come up with, I need you to find 10,000 votes. Now, everybody interpreted that on the left as he's encouraging Brad Raffensburg to commit the big cheat, right? It's not really what Trump was saying, but that was the basis of Fanny Willis's prosecution against him.

SPEAKER_01 33:06

Mr. Raffensburg, you became a national figure for standing up to pressure from President Donald Trump and other Republicans after the 2020 election, ultimately deciding to certify the presidential election, saying that Joe Biden was the rightful winner of our state here in Georgia. Inside your own party, that cost you trust. Did you make a mistake in 2020?

SPEAKER_09 33:28

No, I've stood up to Stacey Abrams, also met her and beat her in court of law. She fought and sued us for the Election Integrity Act. In fact, President uh Joe Biden called it Jim Crow 2.0. I've met and beat her in court of law many times. And right now, Fox News, so don't take my word for it, says we run the best election in the entire country.

SPEAKER_19 33:48

What? They ran the best election in the entire country? Fox News, guys, remember back to 2020. I haven't actually turned Fox News on the TV, except for in prison on the white TV, right? Because it was all we had. I haven't turned on Fox News since. I turned it off that night. I haven't turned it on in my own household ever since. Fox News was kind of in on it.

SPEAKER_09 34:07

But the real issue that people are having in Georgia right now, their focus is affordability. They're looking for good paying jobs. Nice pay. And that's why I get really excited when President Trump says he wants to bring reshoring back to America, bring jobs and manufacturing back to America. And that's where Georgia can be at the front of the line with advanced manufacturing. And that's where we can create great paying jobs and really change a person's lives. So that's going to be my focus. Make sure we create great paying jobs and then make sure that we have safe communities. Because Lord knows if Ke Keisha Lance Bottoms was ever our governor, we wouldn't have State Streets. We didn't have them when she was mayor. I'll make sure we have safe communities and also good paying jobs.

SPEAKER_01 34:46

Just to clarify, are you saying that you did not make a mistake in 2020?

SPEAKER_09 34:50

At the end of the day, I have a great team and we followed the law and we followed the constitution.

SPEAKER_19 34:55

You didn't follow the law. You didn't follow the constitution. He couldn't answer that question. So obviously, and up in Virginia, right, they had the ballot referendum that was saying, hey, we're just gonna like suspend this constitutional part just till 2030. So the legislature can put fairness back in the elections, aka gerrymander things to death. So they had their Supreme Court hearing yesterday, and uh this is the this is the local coverage from the local news on that hearing. And this is pretty significant. It kind of created a little bit of a firestorm yesterday. Trump Trump posted a uh response to this.

SPEAKER_13 35:30

Thank you. This gerrymandered congressional district map that Virginia voters narrowly approved last week is facing a slew of legal challenges. The Virginia Supreme Court heard arguments today in what may be the most significant of those efforts, deciding whether Democratic lawmakers followed the rules for getting a constitutional amendment on the ballot. Nick Manoch was in the courtroom and joins us with more now for Michael.

SPEAKER_28 35:53

The main issue the Virginia Supreme Court focused on was one of timing. When Democrats in the General Assembly passed the redistricting referendum, early voting was well underway for the 2025 election, which could violate constitutional requirements. Democratic lawmakers passed the redistricting referendum just days before Election Day 2025. The Virginia Constitution requires lawmakers to pass the referendum once before a general election takes place, then again after the newly elected assembly is seated. Opponents of redistricting argued that since early voting and the 2025 election had been going on for over a month, the referendum did not pass before an election as required. During oral arguments Monday morning, Justice Wesley Russell peppered the Democrats' attorney with questions.

SPEAKER_38 36:42

So your position requires us to interpret election in such a manner that literally every single vote that is cast before whatever the office is is cast before the election even begins.

SPEAKER_00 36:55

Yes, Your Honor, and that's consistent both with uh the way the federal government has consistently interpreted this, the federal courts and uh sister states.

SPEAKER_28 37:03

And all these arguments before the court lasted just under an hour until this issue is resolved. Virginia is unable to certify last week's election result. If the redistricting referendum is allowed to stand, Virginia would go from one of the most balanced congressional district maps in the country to one of the most gerrymandered district maps in the country. The Supreme Court did not indicate when they'll make a ruling on this issue. But lawmakers tell Seven News, given the urgency of this issue, they expect the Supreme Court to make a decision in a matter of weeks. Reporting in Richmond, McMenox, Seven News.

SCOTUS Gate And Roberts Disclosure Allegations

SPEAKER_19 37:38

Nick. So this is this is the thing I want us peasants to be aware of. It is likely that the Virginia Supreme Court is going to overturn that referendum and put it back to the way it was. Not that it ever changed because they never certified it, right? But they're doing it based on process. They're not doing it based on, you know, fake ballots, they're not doing it based on machines, they're not doing it based on mail-in voting being riddled with fraud. Those are kind of like criminal elements. They're doing it based on process. The legislature put this on the ballot before, or they put it on the ballot before the legislature had voted for it, and then they retroactively changed the rules to say that they didn't have to have the legislature vote for it first before it went on the ballot. Like they got them, they've got them kind of dead to rights on process, but they're not going to change anything fundamental about the election. And the buzz on this uh prompted Donald Trump to post this, and this isn't the first time he's posted this, but he reposted it. America's elections are rigged, stolen, and a laughing stock all over the world. We are either going to fix them or we won't have a country any longer. I am asking the Republicans to fight for the following Save America Act. All voters must show voter ID, identification, all voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote, and no mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel. Okay. When the election happened, Trump posted we had a rigged election in Virginia again. Why was it rigged? Mail-in ballots. You clearly saw some type of machine manipulation in the fact that they were counting ballots faster than the total number of machines they had could actually process the ballots, which hello, like it can't happen. And so that's kind of one of those things where Democrat Republicans really need to wake up and they need to get on top of this because you're not always going to have process as your friend, right? And the other thing too is the idea that you can rely on the court system to resolve this stuff every time, that's not a good idea. This is this is going on with Chief Justice John Roberts, and I mentioned this the other day. He's got some issues. Formal disbarment complaint alleged was filed against Chief Justice John Roberts. A disbarment complaint at the DC bar on April 22nd, 26. Now, what's the likelihood of this going anywhere at the DC Bar? I think probably slim, but it alleges a pattern of financial disclosure violation spanning two decades. At the center of the complaint is a documented commissioned income earned by Jane Sullivan Roberts while working as a legal recruiter at Major Lindsay in Africa between 2007 and 2014. According to the internal records release by whistleblower Kendall Price, there's a name there. There's a person who's got the evidence and submitted it. By Kendall Price, she earned 10.3 million in commissions from elite law firms during that period, some of which argued cases before the Supreme Court in the same years. So it's not that it's illegal for her to be a headhunter for that law firm. It's not that it's illegal for her to do those things. What the problem is, is there's an ethical conflict when her husband presides as the chief justice over cases with those law firms who paid her his wife commissions.

SPEAKER_25 40:50

Whoops.

SPEAKER_19 40:51

They call this SCOTUS gate. Okay, they call this SCOTUS Gate. And it's a it's a big deal and it's brewing. But again, you know, if you're depending on the Supreme Court to come through in critical cases, come on. When Donald Trump says, I think there's some money involved with the tariff case, some payoffs, that's what he's referring to, right? There could be lobbyists or international companies that were getting money into Supreme Court justices' coffers and in their bank accounts, and then we saw that decision go the way it went.

SPEAKER_25 41:22

Wow.

Violent Rhetoric And Political Radicalization

SPEAKER_19 41:23

Yeah. Yeah. Now, don't worry. The Democrats are on the case because we know that Donald Trump and his administration are Nazis. In light of the third assassination against Donald Trump at the White Correspondence Danner, JB Prisker was called out about political violence. And uh this could be from an earlier clip, but either way, this is the kind of rhetoric that's out there from the Democrats.

SPEAKER_12 41:55

What would you say to that?

SPEAKER_39 41:57

Well, Manu, remember what I was talking about was the fact that a constitutional republic was torn apart in 53 days in Germany in the 1930s, and that we need to watch out for that in this country. That is what I was talking about. And we've seen it, by the way, that speech was given in February of 25. I think over the last year, much of what I said has been proven to be true, that the institutions of this democracy are being attacked by the Republicans and by Donald Trump.

SPEAKER_19 42:26

If you're in that Democrat echo chamber and you have drank the Kool-Aid and you're kind of in the vote blue no matter who, and you just don't care what the Republicans say, they're country club people and they are always wrong. That kind of stuff is what justifies what happened with that shooter where he mentions things like Trump's a fascist and Nazi, and he quotes Edmund, uh, no, it was a different thing where they quote Edmund Burke, you know, people have to do something. Listen, if I genuinely believe Trump was a Nazi, I'd have a duty to do something about it too, right? But that's just not reality, at least from our perspective. Like we try to see things on both ends. Now, Hakeem Jeffries took a lot of heat because he's had a lot of incendiary rhetoric about Donald Trump. And, you know, dollar store Obama came out swinging, folks.

SPEAKER_03 43:13

Is that the so-called White House press secretary, who's a disgrace, he's a stone cold liar, had the nerve to stand up there and read talking points being critical of statements, all taken out of context that Democrats have made and didn't have a word to say about anything that MAGA extremists have said or done, including providing aid and comfort to violent insurrectionists here at this Capitol on January 6th, who brutally beat police officers. The president then pardoned those violent rioters, many of whom have gone back into communities. Across the country to re-offend.

unknown 44:05

Hi.

SPEAKER_19 44:06

Hi, guys. I'm here. You're you're a violent domestic terrorist.

SPEAKER_25 44:11

Let me stop you from re-offending.

SPEAKER_19 44:13

Yeah. So there have been some J Sixers who admittedly had trouble beforehand, got in trouble again afterwards. But statistically, it's like 1%. Okay. Which is a lot less than the something like 80% rate of or 60% rate of re-offenders for the normal prison population. So what a what a joke. Jay Clayton, he was attorney for the District of South Carolina, was on with CNBC and he talks about this uh Southern Poverty Law Center and how they kind of set up the violence by funding it. And I would argue that you can set up the violence by promoting the rhetoric around it too.

SPEAKER_15 44:47

I think that we all need to take a step back. I need to take a step back. Everybody in the media needs to take a step back and say, you know, are we amplifying hate and fringe elements? Yes. You really see you don't you don't know the answer to that? We are. People are. Let me tie this to a recent event. I mean, this was horrible. Amplifying somebody like this's message, you know, just stupid. Let's just call it what it is, stupid. Okay. We had a case in the Justice Department last week, the Southern Poverty Law Center. Okay, at bottom, and these are allegations, but at bottom, the allegations are that this organization was creating hate in order to expand their mission of combating hate. If that's going on in and it is, it's going on in America, it's going on through organizations like that, it's also going on with foreign actors funding these types of organizations because they want us to fight with each other. So everybody needs to take a step back and say, who is causing me to have these emotions? And are we are we creating an environment where those emotions are causing us to do things that are harmful to the American public?

SPEAKER_19 46:08

I think that is definitely the case. Debbie, Debbie says, shame on you, Taylor. Well, Debbie, Debbie, you gave aid and comfort to the terrorists too. You visited me in prison a couple times. So here's an example of some of the rhetoric that Hakeem Jeffrey says is totally taken out of context. Okay, well, let's hear it. This is amplifying that message of hate. And who's paying for the message of hate? Who's benefiting from this message of hate? This is the analogy I use all the time in prison, right? There's 200 inmates to every one guard, but yet they keep the prison population segregated, divided against each other. And so, as a prison population, we fight with each other, literal riots, stabbing, bloodshed over control of the yard. But if we unified, we could get control of the prison, right? So, what's the incentive to say stuff like what we're about to hear here?

SPEAKER_37 46:58

And find a clip of a Democrat invoking violence.

SPEAKER_03 47:03

Let's extinguish him for good. I will go and take Trump out tonight. We're gonna fight it in the courts, or we're gonna fight it in the streets.

SPEAKER_29 47:14

When they go low, we're gonna bury them below the Capitol. That's what we're gonna do.

SPEAKER_26 47:18

We take them to the mud and choke them up. You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives.

SPEAKER_31 47:23

I I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. Maybe there will be. We're walking down a damn different path.

SPEAKER_15 47:30

We're fighting fire with fire. We're gonna punch these sons of bitches in the mouth. I take you behind the gym and beat the hell out of them.

SPEAKER_26 47:36

Come punch back, kick back, dump over their heads and win some fucking power.

SPEAKER_05 47:43

I back punch back and make sure that they stay down. And and you know what? Kick them when they're down because they deserve it.

SPEAKER_36 47:49

I I think that you punch. I think you punch. I think you're okay with you, you okay with punch. We are at war. And that's why the gloves are off, and I say, bring it on. We are not only gonna punch you back, but we are gonna knock you out.

SPEAKER_29 48:03

We're in a we're we're in a we're a war right now to save this country, and so you have to be willing to do whatever is necessary in order to save the country.

SPEAKER_37 48:12

Well, I am here to tell you not only are we gonna punch back, but we have to beat you down. And goddamn it, goddamn the bank.

SPEAKER_04 48:27

Even in states where Donald Trump won big, that it does you any good running away from Donald Trump, I think you need to go back and punch him in the face.

SPEAKER_26 48:35

Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up and abuse the anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant in a department door, and a gap lane station, you get up, and you call the crowd, and you put the on them, and you give them their night welcome.

SPEAKER_19 48:56

As far as people in that that montage there, Swalwell, criminal charges for criminal criminal charges pending, right? California, out of Congress. Uh, that the one lady, she's got uh multiple federal counts for uh assault on a federal officer.

SPEAKER_25 49:14

They've all got they've all got current or ongoing or probably pending or future properties.

SPEAKER_19 49:27

You know, something really hairy there. Obviously, Maxine Waters. I mean, she's next on the uh corruption list. Like, you go through that Eric Holder, held in contempt by Congress for selling guns to the Mexican cartel to be that then got used to kill a border agent. Um, you know that rhetoric, like that actual list of people there, you can attach real crimes to those people who are just rhetorically saying do these things. You know, that was a big thing in my case. The judge was like, well, here's your rhetoric, and then you acted it out. And I was like, you know, in fairness, we have to look in the mirror. I was like, you know what? I'm not gonna use that kind of rhetoric. I'm gonna try to withhold my tongue to say things that could lead to violence, even if it's like a throwaway sentence. And this is where the hockey, you know, Piker clips that we've played, you need to murder those people, blood in the streets. Don't say that. Don't say that. Low IQ people, right, are going to take that seriously. Like, I know that I didn't go to the Capitol to produce permit violence, but yeah, they had a couple Twitter posts that I put where I was like, you know, burn down DC. I I I was just the PLM was burning down DC, and I was just like, whatever, you know. But in retrospect, after I went to DC, it looked a little bad. Now, uh, yeah, shame on you, Taylor. So Hakeem Jeffries, right now addressing this because it was brought to his attention, you know, Carolyn Levitt, shameful quotes, shameful quotes, all out of context. Except some of those people that she quoted actually went on. Like, for example, that Monica Gal, she went on to actually assault a federal officer at an ICE facility. Okay. So here's Hakeem Jeffries clarifying his speech a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 51:08

As it relates to anything that has been said, certainly as it relates to the comment related to maximum warfare everywhere all the time, in connection with the redistricting battle that Republicans launched. I stand by it. You can continue to criticize me for it.

SPEAKER_19 51:29

I don't give a damn about your criticism as it relates in relation to the redistricting battle. Oh, I'm glad you added the clarify after an assassination attempt on the president. Now, you know, I look at this and when I when I listen to the Democrats over and over, I just think, man, it is just one of the worst things out there. I I understand this little girl's trauma.

SPEAKER_30 51:53

What's wrong? Daddy, daddy, do that. What? Are you serious?

SPEAKER_19 52:06

It's it's pretty devastating, man. If somebody calls you a Democrat, that's you may as well call me a racial slur. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_25 52:13

Well, when it's daddy doing it. Ouch, that hurts. Yeah.

Gutfeld On Unity And Media Incentives

SPEAKER_19 52:17

Daddy called me a Democrat. What were you doing? Were you trying to like take his food or something? Like, what are you doing? Greg Gofffield has a great monologue last night with regards to this assassination attempt on Trump. And Donald Trump called for unity, and the Democrats are like, see, you need to unite with us, right? Like, always the same thing. Like, never you guys have a little clarity. You want Republicans to have clarity. Yeah, we all need to be united against Trump, right? That's report everywhere. So Greg Gutfeld in the manner that he does really clarifies this whole thing, right? This isn't a message for Republicans. We are unified. I mean, obviously, we have some division, we've got some podcasters that go out there and they pick off these little pet issues. But on a whole, you know, if you sit down, some of the biggest critics of Donald Trump, right? The ones that he's criticized, Candace Owens, Megan Kelly, Alex Jones, uh Tucker Carlson, you know, Sneeko, a bunch of these, and you go, okay, it's 2024 again. Knowing what you know, even now, Kamala Harris or Trump, probably to a man, they'd still be like, Trump. You see what I'm saying? Uh Mark Victor, uh, Mark Victor Hansen had a nice piece where he goes, listen, I voted for him for the totality of his agenda. I didn't vote for him for some little pet issue. He doesn't like what's going on in Iran. Fair enough. But he's like, Trump's trying to win a hundred-year battle and create peace for our grandkids, so we're not dealing with a nuclear-powered Iran. But when Republicans come into his office, it's like the polling is so bad, you know, the liberal media is just beating us up over this. Trump has to like balance these equities here, the short-term election cycles with the long-term agenda of America. Um terrorism, you say, well, now we'll never know.

SPEAKER_36 53:58

What could it possibly be?

SPEAKER_14 54:00

Well, they're running away from this story because they know they got their fingerprints all over it. I disagree with Harold with all due respect. Uh, a call for unity is not for us. We don't need it. Uh no.

SPEAKER_19 54:11

No, no, I'm just saying Martha Easel just put Gutfield is on Fox News. I wanted to point something out when it comes to Fox News. There's a difference between daytime Fox News and evening Fox News. Daytime is news, right? This is your Brett Bears, these are your newscasters. They're horrible. Right? They they're they're Democrat light, is what they are. The evening cast, the opinion shows, Ingram, Hannity, he's whatever, you know. Yeah, this is my CIA pen. Okay. So Hannity, Laura Ingram, Jesse Waters, Gutfeld, the people on the five, these are opinion hosts. They are much better, and they have their own thing. Like if Fox News fired him, Gutfeld would just go do his own show. He'd be very successful, and it would be hilarious.

SPEAKER_25 54:54

Kind of like a Tucker.

SPEAKER_19 54:55

Yeah. So there is a difference between daytime and evening Fox News. Evening Fox News guys aren't the ones who called the election for uh Joe Biden. You know, in fact, a lot of the evening hosts were very upset. You can go, there's lots of this. Like Tucker Carlson is like, you know, it'll be forever to Fox News' shame that they called the election for Donald Trump. And he was saying that while he was at Fox News on air on their airwaves. Okay.

SPEAKER_14 55:20

It's not for me to hear, it's for your side. We don't need it because it's only a one-way thing. You mentioned some examples like the Pelosi thing, which is a mental illness thing, the Wisconsin thing. We still aren't sure what the hell happened there. The Whitmer thing was a plot. Who created the plot? That would take an entire special to go under. I disagree with Jesse. This guy did hear voices. They were Tim Waltz's, they were Ted Lou's, they were Brandon Johnson's, they were CNN's, they were The View, they were MS. Now, okay. I think this is a helpful assassination attempt because it is the first one to show that you can be radicalized by liberal smugness. If you read his posts and if you read his manifesto, it sounds like every smarmy, sanctimonious, self-satisfied pronouncement from an asshole like Brandon Johnson, like Waltz, like Lou, the people who think they know better than you. This guy was not a crank. He was not deranged. Don't buy into that narrative because it lets these pompous asses off. He didn't do this because, as Jesse said, he didn't have voices in his head. He was just following orders. He was operating on a filter that said Trump was Hitler, and therefore it would be immoral if you didn't take Hitler out. So his filter is actually making him logical. He's the sanest one in the group because he took them at their word. When MS now says Trump is Hitler, he's the sensible one. He went out and went after Hitler. Now, if you told him he was wrong, would he listen? No, because you know this guy. You've run into this guy. They think they're right. This is the big point. The biggest problem, and I don't include you in this, Harold. The problem with the left is the lack of humility. This is what has always bothered people on the right. Uh, we believe in a higher power, we can be wrong. But for something on the left, they can have ideas which turn into belief, which turn into an ideology, and there's no breaks to it, i.e., a higher power that might say, you know what, you could be wrong. This is a guy that when you read his stuff, he is right on everything. When you read his posts, when you read his, and then if something disappoints him, it's everybody's fault. This is exactly the same kind of person you run into at BLM, at Antifa, at any protest, your liberal friend who thinks the world is out to get them, and yet they sit at home and they do nothing and they blame Trump. This event exposes that. It also exposes the myopic egoism of the media, who, in the run-up to the dinner, said, you know what, it's really about a threat against the press. And who brought on the threat? Well, it's this orange demon, Trump. But it turns out the guy who's getting shot at isn't the press. It's the orange demon that you have turned into a Hitlerian figure. He's the one facing the actual threat. When all he's trying to do is what's best for the country. You may disagree with it, but you are the guys that created the rhetoric. So I think that this was a helpful assassination attempt. Because A, nobody got hurt. I'm not gonna go with the conventional thing. Thank God, thank God, they got you can't write this off as a deranged person, and that is the lesson. You can learn how rhetoric turns into action, how there are security lapses in a hotel, how the hell was he not shot? Did he just trip? I mean, the Hilton, Paris Hilton is harder to get into than the DC Hilton. And I think the biggest thing here, and it'll go, and this is it kind of goes back to COVID in a way. It's how scientific minds, this guy was an engineer, can do evil because it's unfettered to a higher power. He was making the decisions, he had control, just like Fauci, just like everybody that tells you you are wrong, I know better. That was the whole point of his screen. When you read it, didn't sound crazy to me. Sounded like a guy saying, Dude, I'm smarter than you are. It's a unibomber. I'll tell you this.

Iran Pressure Campaign And Civilian Costs

SPEAKER_19 59:40

That's exactly right. That's exactly right. And this is this is the thing. He was teacher of the year. This is on any given day, you go talk to him, he's completely rational. Right? Don't hurt people, do all these nice things. Oh, I'm gonna go hurt somebody because he's hurting people at large. Is he? Is he? Or is he trying to protect you? Right? Is he trying to fix the country? All the things you complain about, is he actually taking a stab at fixing them? This issue in Iran is still going on, right? We've got a blockade of the Iranian vessels, and they're very they're very broken up. This is hard. There are peasants in Iran that are suffering under them. And some of that suffering has been at our hand recently. The protests that happened earlier this year where they killed 42,000 of their own people, 30,000, 42,000, 5,000, who knows the number, right? Who knows the number? But didn't the shooter intern at NASA? I'm not sure. I'm not sure if that's true. Debbie asked that on on YouTube. Um so this issue in Iran is very tricky, right? There there are elements inside of Iran that we would call liberals that as soon as the bombing happened, some of those liberals went out and held up pictures of the Ayatollah in support of the Ayatollah. So it's like, you know, if if Russia suddenly invaded our country and Joe Biden was the president, you probably would have been like, screw Russia, I'm pro-America. Biden, go get him. You know what I'm saying? Like when your country gets attacked, it kind of changes the calculus. Right now, we can criticize the regime, our own country. That's just a family squabble. But as soon as someone attacks the family, now, you know, crazy Uncle Bob, let's go. I got your back.

SPEAKER_25 1:01:21

Country's a country.

SPEAKER_19 1:01:22

Country's a country. So Iran's Iran has not had this huge uprising and this regime change push. And that's probably because there is collateral damage to the civilians. Uh, Marco Rubio was on with Fox News giving a fairly long interview about the situation in Iran. And it's important for us to listen to this. This is our nation and our country's interests over Iran and their country's interests. And there are implications to this. Iran is not a fair actor. And Iran has been used by our allies, including our country, as an offsheet, as an off-books balance sheet to prop up the banking system, which is one of the cause of many of our social woes, the cost of housing, the cost of food, your inflating dollar, right? Like this all ties together, as well as the fact that they have absolutely been involved in our rigged and stolen elections.

SPEAKER_34 1:02:14

It's great to see you here, not on a balcony with a vest on. Absolutely. Great to see you. What do you see as the main roadblock to an agreement with the Iranian government? Well, other than the fact that the country is run by radical Shia clerics, uh, that's a pretty big impediment. The other is that they're deeply fractured internally. And I think that's always been the case, but I think it's far more pronounced now. The best way to understand Iran is you have a political class. Now, I think, look, I people talk about moderates and and and hardliners. They're all hardliners in Iran. But there are hardliners who understand they have to run a country and an economy, and there are hardliners that are completely motivated by theology. The hardliners that are motivated by theology are not just the IRGC officials, but obviously the Supreme Leader and the council that surrounds him. Do you believe that Iran's new supreme leader, Mushtaba Khamenae, is alive? Well, we have indications that he is. Obviously, they claim that he is. We don't have evidence that he's not. But I think the unresolved questions here are does he have the same credibility as his father did? You know, we know that for many, many years, at least I know that for many years, there's been internal debates in Iran about succession and whether this should be uh, you know, hereditary-based. Should it be this that there are a lot of that are resistant to that? Does he have the does he have the clerical credentials to actually act as supreme leader? Is he actually making the decisions? Or is there somebody standing in his stead who's basically controlling 90% of it and is the one actually making decisions on his behalf? We don't know the answers to these questions.

SPEAKER_23 1:03:35

Reports do indicate Iran has offered to open the streets, but they want to delay conversations about their nuclear program. Would this be acceptable to the Trump administration?

SPEAKER_34 1:03:46

Well, again, I'm not going to speculate about the president's decision making on this matter. Suffice it to say that the nuclear question is the reason why we're in this in the first place. If Iran was just a radical country run by radical people, but you know, it there'd still be a problem. But they are revolutionary. In essence, that they seek to expand and export their revolution. Not just what they do in Iran. That's why they're with Hezbollah and Lebanon, that's why they've supported Hamas, that's why they've supported the militias in Iraq. They don't just seek to dominate Iran, they seek to dominate the region. And imagine that with a nuclear weapon. Look what they've done with the Straits. Great example. The Straits is basically the equivalent of an economic nuclear weapon that they're trying to use against the world. And they're bragging about it. They're putting up billboards in Tehran bragging about how they can hold 25% or 20% of the world's energy hostage. Imagine if those same people had access to a nuclear weapon, they would hold the whole region hostage. Do you believe the Iranians are serious about making a deal? I think the Iranians are serious about getting themselves out of the mess that they're in. All the problems Iran had, they had riots a few months ago, and these were economic riots. All the problems that Iran had before the start of this conflict are still. The benefits of what they are doing. This is the reason why the blockade is in place. The blockade is not a blockade against shipping, it's a blockade against Iranian shipping because they cannot be the sole beneficiaries of an illegal, unlawful, and unjustified system of tolling and control in the straits.

SPEAKER_23 1:06:15

How do you walk the line between targeting infrastructure in Iran that hurts the regime but doesn't hurt the civilian population that you are trying to win over?

SPEAKER_34 1:06:26

Well, the first thing is always intent. Our desire is not to hurt the people of Iran. We have no problem with the people of Iran. Frankly, we wish the voices of the people of Iran were heard, as opposed to having 30 and 40,000 of them murdered in the streets. And so our targets will always be things that support the regime directly. Obviously, there might be a road or a power or a plant or factory somewhere that also benefits the economy, but its primary role is to benefit the regime and its security apparatus.

SPEAKER_23 1:06:52

I'd like to shift now to Lebanon. There are historic efforts underway to try and reach an agreement between Israel and their neighbor to the north. Where do things stand in those negotiations?

SPEAKER_34 1:07:04

Well, it's a very unique ceasefire because Lebanon and Israel are not at war. Israel's problem is with Hezbollah. Unfortunately, Hezbollah happens to be inside of Lebanon and conducting attacks against Israel. So I think what I've perceived from this, and it's been very successful, is both the Lebanese and the Israelis seek peace. Mr. Secretary, thank you for your time. Thank you.

SPEAKER_19 1:07:24

Pretty good interview. Now, Scott Bessant is still at it. He's like Marco Rubio mentioned, there's more tools. So one of the things he posted is doing business with sanctioned Iran airlines risks exposure to U.S. sanctions. Foreign government should take all actions necessary to ensure that companies in their jurisdiction do not provide services to those aircrafts, including the provisioning of jet fuel and catering. Wow. Catering? I can't give them sodas to sell on their flights, can't maintain their aircraft, can't provide jet fuel. They're trying to grind the internal economy of Iran to a halt. And then he also said while the surviving IRGC leaders are trapped like drowning rats in a sewage pipe, Iran's creaking oil industry is starting to shut in production. Thanks to the U.S. blockade, pumping will soon collapse. Gasoline shortages in Iran are next. Now, in Ireland, again, there are consequences to this. Trump's thinking long-term here, and I support the long-term thinking in Iran. And I and I think, you know, as far as I'm concerned, the cost has been worth the the price here. But like in Ireland, apparently a gallon of gasoline is approaching$12. Oh, so they had one of the largest protests in Ireland because fuel prices are too high. So, in response to this, one of the things Donald Trump is also doing is he's getting rid of one of the big rivals to American oil production. United Arab Emirates has announced that it will withdraw from OPEC after more than 50 years. This move will is set to take effect May 1st. The decision would allow UAE to boost oil production without OPEC quota limits. So OPEC, right, the oil-producing uh economic oil-producing something countries, economic countries or whatever it is, what they do is they set quotas. Like we're all going to pump a certain amount of oil. And so they, as a cartel, they set oil prices. Right. Price stability. Price stability. They, you know, price controls. Price controls, exactly. So by them leaving OPEC, for one thing, it allows them to sell oil, they pump more oil to sell to Europe. This move is being viewed by some as a potential win for President Trump, who's repeatedly accused OPEC of inflating oil prices and ripping off the rest of the world. So this allows oil to now compete in a free market instead of a captured market. It's a pretty significant deal there. It could cause prices to go up or down. We'll see, right? But OPEC now can be a primary supplier for these countries that were used to Iranian oil, and it's the market rate's going to be set. People are going to buy oil from the cheapest supplier.

SPEAKER_25 1:09:59

Well, it's going to go up or down based on market forces instead of just based on a price that was arbitrarily set. So it could get volatile. Yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_19 1:10:09

Um General Mike Guten, director of the Golden Dome for America, he said the Golden Dome is real, it's no longer theoretical, and we are underway. We are shovel ready and we are building it right now. It's already in motion. I don't need to play the clip, but you know, this is a world at war for sure. And like Marco Rubio said, in five years, sanctions aren't gonna work. What does that mean, Ron? What's the fallout of that?

SPEAKER_25 1:10:31

Uh sanctions don't work. Well, if the money is not uh something they can pinch on, then you're gonna have to fight.

Oil Shock, OPEC Shift, Golden Dome

J6 Prosecutor Road Rage Plea Deal

SPEAKER_19 1:10:40

Bingo. If if you can't control behavior through economic sanctions, then the way you have to defend yourself and control behavior is through bullets. And so the Golden Dome is critical to that. Trump is thinking pretty far ahead on this. Now, I want to show you guys this clip. If you saw this clip, what do you think here? Look at this on my screen. Road rage. Road rage, road rage. Okay, it's pretty bad. Now he's actually has a knife in his hand and he's stabbing. He's stabbing that person in the brutal. Okay, very brutal. Interestingly enough, this is someone known as the Lectern Man. Have you ever heard of the Lectern Man?

SPEAKER_25 1:11:17

Uh oh yeah. He got famous back in January 6th days.

SPEAKER_19 1:11:25

Yes. So here's the Lectern man right here. Okay. Yep. This is this is Adam Christensen. Okay, he's a Lectron man. So very famous picture from January 6th, right? He took the speaker's podium and moved it like 20 feet, took a picture. He's a funny dude. So that person that we just showed on the screen, road rage stabbing someone.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:46

Interesting story. Good afternoon, everyone. I am leaving the Pinellas County Courthouse for my initial prosecutor, Patrick Shruggs, just entered a plea agreement with the state. Um, if you don't know who Patrick Shrugs is, he is my initial prosecutor from January 6th. He was caught on camera a couple years ago breaking the window of a motorist vehicle and stabbing him repeatedly over and over again in front of a dozen witnesses. The plea deal was entered. That was a J6 prosecutor you just saw there.

SPEAKER_19 1:12:13

Damn. A badge and gun FBI agent, right? A prosecutor. I guess he was a DOJ prosecutor, stabbing somebody. Stabbing somebody. This is a guy who put people in jail for lesser crimes, including this gentleman right here.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:29

Today it was accepted by the judge, and the plea deal is as such. He will only serve 90 days in county jail. 90 days for three felonies that would have or could have resulted in a life sentence had he gone before a jury of his peers. So he just obfuscated the whole system. On top of this, it's uh five years of probation. But here's the kicker: he gets to keep his law license at the end of all of this. He'll go back to practice prosecuting people and putting them in prison for the same things that he did. I guarantee they won't get the same deals that he did. I went to prison for 75 days for misdemeanor trespassing, and this guy's gonna serve 15 more for stabbing someone over and over again. Make it make sense.

SPEAKER_19 1:13:09

I used to say all the time. You know, I should have got a little more mileage out of my better off raping somebody on the way to the Capitol in DC than pushing on that bike rack, right? Like, like this is the insanity. Now, that exact same set of charges, they found someone else in a in a similar jurisdiction that did the same thing and got a plea deal for some years in prison. The judge rejected it and gave him life in prison. You mean the stabbing thing? Stabbing.

SPEAKER_25 1:13:36

Oh, yep. Yeah, that's sounds like it's a good thing.

SPEAKER_19 1:13:38

Road rage stabbing. So Robert Lee Burton stabbed his ex-girlfriend 32 times in a brutal domestic attack. Meyer, the judge, rejected the lighter plea offer and sentenced him to life in prison without parole. The victim even forgave him publicly, but the judge imposed the maximum based on severity. Yeah. Now, why is that happening here? This is a uh a on the conservative review podcast, they're talking about this pool of prosecutors, these J6 prosecutors. And remember, one of these prosecutors is Jocelyn Ballantyne, right, who served alongside this DOJ, this other guy who stabbed someone in the streets. Okay. And so there's there's a clear assumption that there was some strings pulled at the DOJ to get him a lighter sentence. He's gonna get his law, he's gonna keep his law license through this.

SPEAKER_25 1:14:27

This is like uh horrible stuff. This one really doesn't make sense to me.

SPEAKER_19 1:14:32

I make it make sense. It doesn't make sense.

SPEAKER_16 1:14:34

President Trump was asked about this a few months about Jocelyn Ballantine months ago, and Jocelyn Ballantine was mentioned by name, and President Trump said, We're gonna look into that. Well, she's still there today, months later. And if if the allegations are true, that means that there's a federal prosecutor working for the DOJ today who tried to get people to lie under oath to frame President Trump. Now, the J6ers were charged, uh, and the Supreme Court reversed it with obstructing an official proceeding. 18 USC 1512 C2. Anything that you do to it's a witness tampering statute. And the Supreme Court said that the J Sixers didn't do that. But if these allegations are true, then Jocelyn Ballantin did in fact do what she accused all of the J Sixers of. That's a 20-year felony. Who's looking into that? Uh to my knowledge, no one.

Capitol Misconduct Claims And Double Standards

SPEAKER_19 1:15:30

I was accused of GSC 18 or 1512 obstruction of Congress 20-year felony. I know you, right? And it turns out the prosecutor prosecuting it is really more likely obstructing justice or an official proceeding and witness tampering, a 20-year felony. Just like that DOJ official is in fact guilty of violent assault, but he was accusing others of violent assault. How many, how many cops died on January 6th? Oh, hundreds. Sure, hundreds. They keep jumping, they were beaten into death. Now remember, credible people said five cops were killed that day. Right. And I've put out a bounty. I'm like, I've got a bronze statute, we're gonna make a bust for all of them. I've got a million-dollar endowment. I just need their names, right? I just need their names and a little thumbnail photo. That's all I need. Can you provide the five cops who were murdered by January 6thers that day? Still waiting. Still waiting, still waiting. Didn't happen. And, you know, if there is any end to the hypocrisy, and there isn't, here you've got Anapollina Looney, because remember, we had Swalwell run out of town, Senator, and he had a good friend named Ruben Gallego, one of these senators from Arizona that may or may not have probably benefited from the stolen election in Arizona. And Anapaulina Luna is on with what is this, wake up morning show? And uh she's like, Yeah, we now have four credible allegations against Ruben Gallego for you know crimes.

SPEAKER_41 1:17:00

But as of right now, I refuse to serve with these people. I will highlight it to the American people and I will hold our Congress accountable and ensure that they do the right thing.

SPEAKER_43 1:17:08

You also caught out speculation around Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego, who's also a very close friend of Eric Swalwell's. I mean, the two took family vacations together, yet Gallego says he was shocked to learn of Swalwell's behavior. You posted on X that four women um have alleged inappropriate conduct by Gallego, and that's been uh brought to you. We know that Gallego also met with that uh Senate Ethics Committee. I mean, what do you make of this?

SPEAKER_41 1:17:34

Look, um, completely inappropriate how he has conducted himself. These are no longer, you know, just rumors. I actually had also posted a former staffer. Okay, now she's an NRSC communications director who publicly came out and stated that Gallego, in I guess, um uh alter our confrontation that it occurred with another Republican member of Congress, had taken his earwax and smeared it on this woman, touched her shoulder and her chest area, and yet that went unaddressed. You cannot do that to staff, okay? And this is one of many things. He's gone out there, he's um publicly, you know, gone out there parting on congressional delegations, uh yes, asking other staffers from the embassy to go along with him. And I also have been told of a reporter who is in um who actually has text messages currently of him being very sexually explicit and inappropriate. And so I'm hoping that that reporter does come forward. But yes, people like this on Capitol Hill do not deserve to serve there.

SPEAKER_19 1:18:32

And this is the same guy who accuses Donald Trump of inappropriate behavior.

SPEAKER_25 1:18:35

Does that work if you smear your earwax on a woman? Is that like super attractive?

Defining Socialism As Elite Control

SPEAKER_19 1:18:40

Yeah, I heard there's like pheromones in the so it kind of gets them all going and stuff like that. I I don't know. I you know, it wasn't it wasn't in the little book of how to you know pick up a wife when I got back from my mission. Like, I don't know. I've I've never particularly attempted that one. It just some of the stuff these people do, you just scratch your head and go, did it work at some point? There's a quote from George Orwell. The poor die, the poor die defending the rules that keep them poor because they mistake obedience for belonging. So I want to talk about something called socialism. And this comes, I'm gonna I'm gonna go through this, and this comes right out of the political remodel document that you can go grab right here, politicalremodel.com. This is absolutely incredible. You can download the manuscript. I'm gonna read a couple pages from this. This is the model on how we can actually take back our counties. And I encourage you, go to this website, put your name in here, your email, so you're on our our mailing list, and we can we can uh help you in your local counties. We we have to take back our country. And the way we do it is we start small. You start with the dog catcher, then you move to the water district, then you move to the school board, then the county commissioners, right? We don't have to win everything, we don't have to take over everything, but we've got to create a relationship in our neighborhoods as precinct committee officers. We have to change the narrative.

SPEAKER_25 1:20:00

We gotta start small, start from the ground up, and use that influence, the local influence.

SPEAKER_19 1:20:05

Yes. So let's start with this. Socialism. You keep using that word. I do not think you know what it means. How we are fighting the wrong war. We tend to think that political war is about stopping Democrats, liberals, and socialists from taking over the country and turning it into a socialist state. Yeah. I hate to tell you one, tell the one, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but we lost that war about a hundred years ago. The battle was long over before you or I were ever born. We are not a democracy in the way most people think. We are not functioning as a true constitutional republic. We are not a capitalist country. We are certainly not, if we can, and we certainly cannot honestly describe ourselves as a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. If by we mean the system rooted primarily in liberty, democratic accountability, and free market principles. We are, in fact, a socialist country governed by a socialist system operating under socialist economic policies and sustained by a society that largely accepts socialist assumptions without ever seriously questioning them. In other words, we are a socialist society. The funny thing is that you probably had a strong reaction when you hear this. But in my experience, when I make that statement to people who do not actually argue, they do not actually argue with it for very long. More often, after thinking about it, they say something like, Yeah, now that I think about it, you're right. And that is because if you really step back and look at it, honestly, it's pretty obvious. A better definition of socialism to understand our situation, and we need to be clear, a clearer definition of socialism than most people have been taught. Socialism is a system in which a small group of wealthy, powerful, and self-appointed elites use the government, the state, to control and subjugate the general population. Any disagreement with that, Ron? No. These elites see themselves as more enlightened, more educated, and more capable than the people they govern. They believe they know what is best for society, and the ordinary citizens should be managed accordingly. Socialism is not merely an economic model, it also includes political and social components, all of which must work together to reinforce state control. Its ultimate goal is to create a culture in which the state is seen as supreme. Individual rights are secondary, and citizens are conditioned into obedience, dependence, and loyalty. Once you understand socialism that way, it becomes much easier to see what kind of government we actually live under and how effectively we have been conditioned to believe otherwise. Bad news, good news, and more bad news. Here's the bad news there is no truly capitalist country in existence. None. The good news is there are also no genuinely communist countries in existence either, at least not as a separate and distinct system. Which brings us back to the bad news. This means every country in the world is operating under some form of socialism. We have been taught that there are three competing systems capitalism, socialism, and communism. In reality, socialism is the dominant system in all existing political entities. What we are looking at are three different varieties of socialism, which is why people mistakenly think they are separate systems. We classify them this way. One, oppressive socialism. This is what most people call communism, although it can also appear in the form of a dictatorship, a military junta, a theocracy, or any other government that uses direct force and violence and fear to maintain control. I also call this honest socialism. Why? Because unlike the other two forms, it does not pretend to be something it is not. It is honest about its contempt for self-government. It openly assumes that citizens are incapable of ruling themselves and that only the enlightened elite can be trusted with power. In this system, the citizen's role is simple. Serve the state, be loyal to the state, and submit to the state. Any opposition is treated as dangerous, disloyal, or traitorous because anything that threatens a state is portrayed as a threat to society itself. The elites in this system conditioned its citizens to be self-deprecating and constantly in a state of unworthiness to control something complex as the country. They accept and want rulers because they trust a state to be able to take care of their needs. This system is the most prevalent of pushing personality cults. They make the elitist leaders into gods, demigods, and superhumans. They know all, see all, can handle all. Should any leader make a mistake, it is simple to resolve. Should anyone point it out, have them shot, then imprison their family in a re-education camp. Problem solved, and we are right back to being right 100% of the time. Even with a draconian model, it does have fatal flaws, you see. It seems that within every one of us, there burns an internal flame that yearns to be free. We are genetically designed to hate chains and confinement. At all times, many people see through this and know that it is not true. Every once in a while they rise up and make their point. Of course, to the elitist leaders, that is just a bunch of people that are pointing out errors. So the response is the same as with individuals who do that. It is brutal, oppressive, and murderous, but we need to give them credit where credit is due. They are very honest about it. Iran, North Korea, communist China, Vietnam at times, right? We can go through a lot of these countries. Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe, lots of these. Oppressive communism. Then you have popular socialism. This is a form of socialism that most Americans associate with Europe and with its self-described democratic socialism. There is also there is also the direction many American elites and modern leftists appear to want the United States to move towards. Popular socialism involves a strong central government with heavy control over economic and social life. That control may range from nationalizing major industries to maintaining intense regulatory dominance over them. The specific mechanisms may differ, but the key feature remains the same. The government is deeply and directly involved in the economy and shaping social outcomes. Unlike oppressive socialism, this version gives us gives citizens the illusion of meaningful participation. Elections exist, political parties compete, public debate is permitted within limits.

SPEAKER_18 1:26:27

You can't say you have the right, right?

Bitcoin As Freedom Money And Culture

SPEAKER_19 1:26:31

You don't have the right to say people are not really choosing between freedom and state control, they are choosing between different administrators of the same underlying system. And this is what we've seen in America. The elites want to go that way. It's just always red or blue, pick one, you know, and we'll mostly do the same thing. That is deception. Citizens and popular socialist systems often believe they live in democracies, when in reality, they are simply allowed to choose which faction of elites will rule them. When you don't participate at in politics, when you are not a political uh precinct committee officer or no one and connect with them, then you're participating in the system. You're allowing those who do to self-select as elites and go be a part of the selection committees, and then you can complain about who's on the ballot. For all practical purposes, the citizens do not meaningfully control the direction of the country, they simply select their preferred kings, queens, and aristocrats every few years. Through American socialism. And this is where you need to listen up. This is very important. And then there is the most deceptive version of all American socialism. This system has the unique distinction of being practiced in only one country, the United States. Of the three versions, it has historically had the least visible oppression, but by far the greatest amount of deception. That does not mean there is little oppression. It simply means the prison is larger, more comfortable, and more cleverly disguised. American socialism is unique because it denies that it is socialist at all. That denial, however, is becoming less necessary as government control becomes more normalized and more accepted. In my view, American socialism was born on the same day capitalism in the United States officially died, October 28, 1829, the stock market crash. Capitalism has been in decline for decades prior, obviously, with the creation of the central bank, weakened by increasing government manipulation and intervention. But the Wall Street crash represented the final collapse of what remained. It was triggered by government takeover of the banks and then being manipulated by both government agencies and the corporate banks that had risen at the turn of the century. Because of policies and people using the system to get rich, it caused catastrophic collapse. The Great Depression that followed then provided the perfect crisis for a socialist takeover of American life, and every revolution needs a crisis. Franklin Roosevelt, like the dictators that preceded him, used that crisis to implement what were in substance openly socialist style programs, but under the more politically palatable labels of progressive and New Deal reforms. The message to the American people was essentially this: we are not abandoning freedom. We are simply updating the system for a new age. We are still capitalists, we are still constitutional, we are still free. We just need more government to make it all work. And in this new world of industrialization and new technologies, and the public bought it. Hook, line, and sinker. The suffering of the depression was so severe that people were willing to accept almost any explanation and almost any solution, the promised relief. Then Pearl Harbor gave the new order exactly what it needed: an external threat large enough to justify a massive expansion of federal power, military buildup, and centralized control. From there, the system only deepened. Over time, government expanded further into every aspect of life while still insisting that America remain fundamentally capitalist and constitutionally restrained. It was not. The socialists simply became better at disguising state control under pro-American language and familiar institutions, using nationalism as a socialist favorite go-to, disguised as patriotism more on the latter, and ensuring the socialists occupied the three great institutions: academia, educators to indoctrinate the little kitties, government to regulate the citizens, and media because socialism and propaganda go hand in hand. They patently and slowly and slowly expanding, expanded, using time to hide what they were doing. When you expand for 40 or 50 years, it is harder to detect. And this is what we see in our media today, right? Fox News, CNN, two wings of the same bird. Don't disrupt the apple cart. Let's just argue over little nuance. It's like in prison. Let's keep the different groups fighting with each other so they don't realize that they could turn their attention and own the prison itself. This is our country. It it belongs to us. We were placed here by our creator. We have a right to say how it's operated, but not under American socialism. Speak up too much, they'll take you out. Speak up too much, you'll get arrested. For some violation, I'm sure. You know, so many laws to enforce and all. That is what makes American socialism so effective. You were not merely persuaded into it, you were born into it. You were raised in it, educated in it, conditioned by it, and taught to call it freedom. That is not your fault, but it is something that you need to understand before we defeat it. So we are all about solutions, right? We're peasants, because no matter who's in charge, we have to live here. Right. And guess what? No matter where you live, whether you're one of our international listeners, like we've got South Korea tuning in, some Japan tuning in, we've got England as regular show listeners. American policies affect you too. Sometimes Tel Aviv Israel. Every now and then the foreign district of Columbia tunes in. Real scary there. That's where I'm like, oh my gosh. Okay. We're all living under a regime that thinks that they know better than we do. And the reality is we should be able to make our own decisions in our own lives. So, right now, this weekend or this week into going down in Vegas is a Bitcoin conference. This is put on by Bitcoin Magazine. And Cynthia Loomis is there at the Bitcoin conference. And she has something really interesting to say. Now, she is a senator. Okay. She's a senator and she's a freedom lover down at the Bitcoin conference. And she's she has this to say, and I I love this so much. So Victoria Loomis is talking about Bitcoin. Now, hold on, let me make sure I got the right one here. Okay, so Victoria Loomis is talking about Bitcoin. This is incredibly important. Okay. We live under American socialism. In order to fix this, if we play the same game we've always played, right? You go get involved in the parties, it's very easy to get sucked up into it. To where now all of a sudden you become dependent on that stream of dollars which is flowing directly out of the central bank. Central bank. Okay. And so you've got to take back your financial sovereignty. You've got to get yourself in a position to where you aren't reliant on the mother's milk. Does that make sense? You've got to get to that position. And she clarifies this Bitcoin provides that opportunity. Amongst people who embrace Bitcoin, freedom thrives.

SPEAKER_42 1:33:41

Bitcoin comes with it not only as an asset, but as a culture. A culture that could have written the United States Declaration of Independence that we celebrate this 200 years, 250 years hence. And it's because this is freedom money that all people are created equal. And that this asset guarantees it. So I want to thank you all for taking me on this journey with you. I want to thank you for the tremendous opportunity to craft legislation in Washington. We are going to mark up the Clarity Act in May. We are going to get it to the finish line. We are going to have the market structure that allows us to innovate, you to innovate, America to lead the world on this freedom asset.

SPEAKER_19 1:34:36

This is incredibly important what she's saying. The culture around Bitcoin, the people who are attracted to it, are the very type of people who wrote the Declaration of Independence to understand how money, that exchange of value between free people, capitalism, is the core of who we want to be. It is not who we are. We were born into this prison. We were born into this system where we live in the, you know, we have a paycheck, a routine, and weekends off. It's cushy, it's nice, right? But even someone who goes and makes billions and billions of dollars, go listen to Elon Musk talk, go listen to so many of these talks, they're totally captive. Mo money, more problems, as they say, right? And that's what happens in the socialist system because they control the money and they control the rules and the enforcement of the rules. And so we end up in this weird spot where you can never really be free, but we yearn for it. And what do the peasants do? We're broadcasting on the edge of freedom, right? We want to take back our country in our elections. We want to take back our economy. We want to take back our food supply. We want to take all of that stuff back. But the fiat system, the American socialist system as it works today, runs counter to all of that. So even if we speak up, we ultimately end up like Alex Jones, peddling lotions, potions, and pills and trying to get syndicated and all the money to make your voice heard. But at the end of the day, you end up only talking about social issues. You end up only talking about the same things they talked about in prison. The difference between the whites and the blacks and the Hispanics, the difference on who's going to control that corner of the yard, who's in charge of the handball wall, who gets to sit at what tables in the in the in the chow hall. And we never turn and see that what's keeping us in here is the the one to 200, you know, one to two hundred guard ratio. Now, prison's violent, so it was a one to two hundred ratio. In America, it's more like one to half a million, right? You got one elite that's keeping you in the system to every half a million people who you know think obedience is belonging. It's it's absolute insanity. So we're gonna talk a little bit about Bitcoin. We put into the chats a link to River where my objective is listen, get off zero, right? Bitcoin's not too expensive. Bitcoin's inevitable, right? It's inevitable as long as the spark of freedom exists with people if you have$10, you can afford it. If you have$10, you can afford it. Go get in, right? Don't think of it as a tech stock. This is not an investment, it's a transition. It's a transition. You know, I've only been playing around with Bitcoin for a short time. Last year I did a lot of silver. Silver was kind of my main thing. And it was amazing. First of all, it appreciated what was awesome. But what I loved about silver was because silver is fixed, it really made me think about my purchasing decisions, right? Because you assume it'll be worth more tomorrow than it is today. Bitcoin's the same way. When you start stacking sats and you start having some of that, you start thinking about your small financial decisions differently. Would I rather have this latte or would I rather have thousands of dollars in the future for what that latte cost me?

SPEAKER_25 1:37:46

And that's what I'm getting at. When I say if you got$10, you can afford it. If you got$10, you can get yourself a position at Bitcoin. And the thing that happened to me when I did that is I I bought a small amount of Bitcoin. And the thing that I noticed right away is I instantly thought about it differently. I instantly thought about the store of value differently. I thought about fiat currency differently. I thought about everything differently. All you have to do is own like a little teeny bit, and you all of a sudden start thinking about it differently. Get off zero. Right?

SPEAKER_19 1:38:18

Get off zero. When you don't own it, it's a tech stock.

SPEAKER_25 1:38:21

Yeah. And it's ethereal. It's ethereal. If you don't own it, you're not you don't understand it. As soon as you own it, you become interested enough to learn. Exactly.

SPEAKER_19 1:38:31

And here's the thing. So this is a this is a billionaire, uh, this is billionaire Tim Draper. Okay, billionaire Tim Draper is talking at the conference and he's telling other business owners about Bitcoin and how important this is. Money is rotting away. It is just a melting ice cube in your bank account, right? Bitcoin provides stability, and we've had a couple real shocks to the system in the last couple of years that a lot of people don't recognize. For example, Silicon Valley Bank, do you remember when they collapsed? It almost took out the entire financial system of the entire country, people overnight, right? So he's telling business owners, dude, get off zero, get some Bitcoin.

Get Off Zero And Think Long Term

SPEAKER_11 1:39:17

It's interesting, might be kind of an interesting thing to hold on to. Now I say, you better hold Bitcoin. If you want to protect your family, you want to protect your company, you want to protect your country, you better have some Bitcoin. In fact, it's irresponsible now for a company to operate and have a big treasury and not have some portion of that 5, 10, 15% in Bitcoin. Because well, when Silicon Valley Bank went over out of business, we almost saw the domino effect. We almost lost all the banks right there. And if that ever happens, you as leaders of your businesses are going to be responsible for payroll for at least two, maybe four weeks. If in Europe, here in Europe, you're responsible for payroll for years. If you run a family, if you manage a family's money, um, you want to have about six months worth of Bitcoin because if the dollars that you own are suddenly worthless, what are you gonna do? And if you're a government, and if there is hyperinflation in your government and the currency goes the way the old Argentinian peso or the Nigerian Nairo went, and you don't hold any Bitcoin, your your government offers are worthless. So it's gone from you know telling people, hey, this is a really interesting opportunity, to telling people you should be scared if you don't own Bitcoin. You should be very, very worried.

SPEAKER_19 1:41:25

Exactly. And I didn't play the clip, but they're building the Golden Dome. How much money do you think that's gonna cost?

SPEAKER_25 1:41:32

Uh I don't know. Is that gonna be gold plated or solid?

SPEAKER_19 1:41:36

Just saying, hey, we have a space race going on. Team player one, we have a space race going on. How much money does that cost? Oh, geez, that's as how much do you want to print? But we're not gonna be able to use economic sanctions around the world and force other countries to use our dollar. Oh how much money is that gonna send coming home from other central banks that have held our dollar as the reserve currency? A tsunami of printing and a tsunami of dollars being returned to their creditors, we the people.

SPEAKER_25 1:42:05

I don't like that he was focusing on fear for his message because I don't think that you have to do that, but he's not wrong. I wish that it would be an optimistic argument.

SPEAKER_19 1:42:15

You know, we all do, right? Yeah, the optimist. Hey, look, but the optimistic argument leans too much on tech stock. It's upside. Uh right. It doesn't matter the value. Your dollars are melting away. Like there can be little market moves and the dollar gains a little bit of strength and then it drops. That's called, that's called uh, that's called uh easing. No, no, that is the uh what's it, the the currency market. What's it called? Uh forex? Forex. That's foreign exchange trading. Yeah. If you're looking at Bitcoin as a Forex opportunity, yeah, go buy the Iraqi dinar. They'll revalue it soon enough, I'm sure. You know, they'll have the big RV or whatever. Sure. That's not what this is. This is a scarce asset in a world where everything is becoming unscarce. Elon Musk talks about universal high income. How much money does that cost? They're gonna keep flooding the market with money so that you can buy the robots because the robots are going to duplicate everything. AI is coming for everything. Everything that is not physically, by the laws of physics, scarce is going to be duplicated by AI. Okay? It's going to become not scarce, and so they're gonna have to print not scarce money to chase after continually less scarce goods. It's actually bullish for Bitcoin.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:38

So, my my viewpoint of this is that every single thing that people own as a store of value gets disrupted by AI. There's not a single thing that people own that you guys own in your lifetime. Nothing that won't be disrupted by artificial intelligence. Some of those disruptions will happen now. Jobs for particular professions will are already being impacted where they're being replaced. But over time, if you own artwork, how do you know it's real? If you can create a fake, uh a digital copy. We already have fakes happening now uh on X of people. I'm doing dubbing for my videos, I'm dubbing them in other languages so that people around the world can see the same content I'm doing with my not just the audio dub, but my lips moving with it. Uh, it doesn't cost much money to do that. So there'll be no separation between what's real and what's fake. And I just don't think people realize how fast it's moving, unless you use artificial intelligence all day long. And I was just on a call before this with a very sophisticated investor who asked me a question and I said, My number one theme right now is compute shortage. And I asked him, when did we get together last? He said it was November 5th. I went, okay, that was before Opus 4.5 came out. The the world is changing so rapidly that whatever you believe is real will not be real. Whatever you believe has value, your job, anything will not have value. So the question comes in when you question everything that you own and the money you've made, where does it go? It goes into store of value. And I've always differed from everybody who says that gold is the only store of value. For all human beings, they buy high houses as a store of value. They buy the SP 500, they buy all of this stuff. So a company is gonna see their profits eroded over time. It might take another 15 years, it might take another five, but with exponential, the one thing I've learned is you cannot predict when it's gonna happen. In my opinion, as someone who has studied markets for a long time and got sucked into the belief that there had to be an end game for this disruption and this distribution of wealth that did not involve what historically has happened a global war, a revolution from country to country. I believe that communities were being built, borders were being taken down, but for the final part of AI, what needs to happen is there needs to be true scarcity. And what we are in right now is a destruction of abundance. Anything that was created on code in the digital economy has been getting killed. Salesforce.com, Adobe, all of these things which had motes around their businesses were quickly unwound. So I think we're in the stage, the the I think the most important stage for Bitcoin, where it no longer is considered a software, a piece of code. It is considered something that is scarce, and scarcity has value like DRAM, like CPUs, like silver, like gold, like all these different components. So the question is when does Bitcoin get treated less less like abundance and more like scarcity? And I believe that time has come.

Bitcoin Reserve Hints And Dollar Dilution

SPEAKER_19 1:46:27

Modern it's interesting, right? In a world where all of a sudden we're gonna have the American socialism, we have creature comforts, universal high income, robots are doing all the work. Well, then what about human nature, right? And yeah, I mean, they'll be productive people at all times and all places, they become what are called kulaks system, and they'll be persecuted because they don't want that, they don't want a disruption to the system. Bitcoin is the out. And you know, again, the more I understand about it, and the reason that I seem to have a segment on it every day in the show is this world is rapidly advancing, rapidly advancing. I mean, when we talk about not being able to use sanctions, what that causes, every country in the world that's holding dollars because they have to, they want to get those things redeemed. They want to send them back for that good product or service, and the robots are gonna make that good product service, it won't be made by your hands in a factory. And that tsunami of money coming back on top of the printing they're gonna have to do to build things like the Golden Dome to continue the space race, team player one, right? This is a big deal. So, as peasants, we're on the front line of freedom here, and I want to show you the door. Go check out that river link, get off zero. Ten dollars is a start. He said, I think he said five dollars a day recurring buys. So every day he just five dollars. You're not even gonna feel it. Not even gonna feel it. That's just an extra cup of coffee, right? You're not, you're hardly gonna feel it. Most people can can handle that, but five dollars a day compounded over time could become generational wealth as the value of Bitcoin doesn't go up, the value of its utility expands as more people use it. I was explaining to someone yesterday, one of the things I do is I do a lot of consultation calls for people. And because of my experience in real estate and stuff like that, someone called me and they've got property in Hawaii, they've got property in California, and then the the other person has property in California, and they're equity rich, cash poor. Okay, pretty standard, yeah, right? Doesn't have a job because he works on his property, and so therefore he can't get to his equity. He can't refinance it, can't get a HELOC, can't get to it. So he's like, what do I do? Should I sell it? And what they want to do is they want to move their two, it's a mother and son, you know, son-in-law, they want to move their family into a property that has, you know, a house and an ADU, not the same roof, but moved together. There's grandkids involved, they want to have a tighter knit family.

SPEAKER_27 1:49:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_19 1:49:03

Rather than being, you know, they've got a house way out in the remote part of California and Hawaii, and it's like, what do we do? How do we get to the equity? What do we do with these properties? They're talking about renting them out, how much they make per month. You know, you have a property in California, million dollar in valuation, three thousand dollars a month in rent. That's not quite equivalent. You know what I'm saying? And I showed them a bank called People'sReserve.com. You can get a mortgage-backed mortgage that pays itself off, a Bitcoin-backed mortgage that pays itself off. So I showed it to them and I was like, sell this property, sell that property, buy Bitcoin, put it on the put it up, put it here, get a mortgage, buy the property. They told me how much the property wants. I was like, Well, that's the dollar amount for the two properties. The problem is if they sell the two properties, they lose the income. And it's like, so you're dependent on the income, but you can't get to the equity. You see what I'm saying? So they were coming to me thinking I had some crazy financial way to like do them like if you don't have a job, you ain't refinancing. Sell the property, get the Bitcoin, put it in there, and then the deal with that particular company, peoplesreserve.com, is you never sell the Bitcoin. So at the end, when the property pays itself off, you get your Bitcoin back and you have a property free and clear. That's a win-win. Very interesting opportunity. So uh Donald Trump also had one of uh uh also had one of his economic advisors there who's in charge of the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. Uh and in the next few weeks, we're gonna have a huge announcement.

SPEAKER_08 1:50:30

Bitcoin as an asset overall. The president signed the uh strategic Bitcoin reserve executive order last year, uh, and we've gone to work and figuring out exactly the the uh maximations necessary and legal uh interpretations that we need to uh to get that right and solidify that and protect the uh digital assets, but specifically Bitcoin that we have on the government balance sheet. So uh in the next few weeks, uh we'll be making a big announcement. Uh I think we have a bit of a breakthrough there. Um and uh that we followed up with legislation, Senator Lamas' Bitcoin Act over in the House. Representative Beggett just talked about the ARMA uh act that he's put together. So uh we need to codify it, but uh in the meantime, uh we do believe we're gonna be able to take a big step forward uh from the executive branch side of the next.

SPEAKER_19 1:51:17

I have a feeling they're going to make some uh kind of opaque announcement about gathering Bitcoin, and then they're gonna say something like a one sentence uh in the press release. It's gonna be like one sentence. And uh for the United States government to acquire Bitcoin, which is code for we're going to print money to buy Bitcoin. They're gonna deflate your dollar, they're gonna rob from your children's uh future productivity to buy Bitcoin today. Probably because we're having a transition right now.

SPEAKER_25 1:51:49

So if they have to if they have to print like uh forty or fifty trillion dollars to uh buy Bitcoin, what does that do to the value of a dollar?

SPEAKER_19 1:51:58

I don't know. It makes the it makes the value of the dollar go down, but it makes the price of things go up compared to dollars, exactly. Again, in a world like with AI, where all this private property you have that's scarce, the value of the private property is it's yours, right? All of that becomes abundant, it becomes too easy to get. All of your intellectual property easily duplicatable. Good luck if you have enough money to go to the patent office and challenge stuff like that, right? So things that are truly scarce, money that is truly scarce is going to become more and more in demand. And in America, the principles that guided our country for uh almost 175 years up until the creation of the central bank and FDR's total revolution and socialized uh socialization of our country, uh private property is key. And that's what Bitcoin reintroduces to you the ability to actually have private property. I got involved in Bitcoin in January of this is a representative in the United States House 2013.

SPEAKER_29 1:53:05

And uh I was one of the many folks, probably folks here today, who were impacted by the Mount Gox debacle. And uh, I'll tell you what, that was highly instructive uh for me as an individual on the importance of self-custody and making sure that we have self-custody rights enshrined in law. And so, look, at the end of the day, uh private property rights is fundamental to the American idea, and I think it needs to extend into the digital space, and we need to make sure that uh our legal structures are enshrining those rights when it comes to Bitcoin and other digital assets. Man, I got involved in Bitcoin in January.

Final Links And Peasants Outro

SPEAKER_19 1:53:46

You don't hear that much anymore these days. About what? A politician talking about private property. Oh, you don't hear that very much these days. All right, guys, go to that river link, get off zero. Also, don't forget to visit mark37.com forward slash R E F forward slash 1776 live or live L-I-V-E 1776 if you want to get off the algorithm, right? Get get this so they that you don't have your data floating around all over the place. And uh, that's it today, guys. We'll talk to you again tomorrow.

unknown 1:54:17

Bye.

SPEAKER_07 1:54:47

I'm twenty-seven. I'm twenty-seven, I'm not all I can't just call you ma'am, but 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 look what you subject to if you automatically treat me like an inferior. Well, I am king. Oh, king, eh? Very nice. 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, lovely silver. How do you do, good lady? I'm Arthur, King of the Britons. Whose castle is that? King of the Britons. The Britons. The Britons! We all are. We are all Britons. And I am your king. No, we had a king. I thought we're an autonomous collective. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes are. How dare you go? Bringing classes in the game. That's what it's all about. Only people will please 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. Yes. 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 quacked, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of being quacked. I order you to be quacked. I'm your king. You don't vote for king? The lady of the lake. Her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bottom of the water. Signifying by divine providence 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. Bequ! But you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tarp threw a sword at you. I mean, if I went round saying I was an emperor, just because some moisten bitch had loved a scimitar at me, they put me away. Shut up, will you? Shut up! Now we see the violence inherited in the system. Shut up! Now we see the violence inherited in the system! Help, help! I'm being repressed! Bloody peasants! Oh, what a giveaway! You hear that? You hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Do you see repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?
