Energy IS Money

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right and still falling behind, we think the problem is bigger than your budget. We start with the “absurdities” we’ve all been trained to accept, then trace a straight line from political narratives and agency power to the thing that hits your life the hardest: money. Along the way we react to clips on RussiaGate-era tactics, claims of FBI and DOJ weaponization, and why public trust collapses when institutions look protected from consequences.

Then we go where most political talk avoids: the plumbing. We break down our critique of the Federal Reserve and the central bank system, how government bonds absorb capital, and why inflation feels like a silent tax on savers. We also dig into real-world examples the media treats as separate stories SNAP fraud investigations, state spending disasters, and the way easy money can create constituencies that depend on the system staying broken. If you care about affordability, housing costs, interest rates, and whether your retirement savings are actually safe, this section is the core.

From there we connect energy to everything. The petrodollar, oil production, OPEC’s cartel dynamics, and Middle East chokepoints aren’t abstract geopolitics to us they’re the power layer underneath your grocery bill. Finally, we make the case for Bitcoin as energy-anchored money: a way to reconnect value to work in a world of fiat debasement, rising government debt, and AI-driven job disruption. Our bottom line is simple: don’t stay at zero, build a pathway to store value in something that can’t be printed.

If this helped you see the system more clearly, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s worried about the economy, and leave a review so more “peasants” can find it.

Well, I just had a rough night, that's all. I only slept like five.

SPEAKER_22 1:39

Like, like five out of seven nights, it's a rough night for you. Like Monday through Friday, it was a rough night. You don't have a good night until you can sleep in. That's how it works. Pony Boy, good morning. We got our home sauna up and running. So this morning I woke up at 4 a.m., went and turned it on because it needs like 30 minutes to heat up. And then I went back in there, sat down, got a nice big sweat. It was kind of nice. I even took a morning shower after that. I'm I'm an evening cow person. So bonus. Yeah, I'm definitely gonna be a two-shower day kind of guy now, morning and night, but super excited. Pony Boy, good morning. Pony Boy, how's the oil fills? Are we just pumping and pumping and pumping? Is there been a notable difference in uh production since Donald Trump came into office? I'm just curious. He's down there in Texas running from oil filled to oil filled. That's kind of fun. All right, you guys, I know why you guys all show up bright and early. It's for the simultaneous sip. And even if you listen after the fact, tip your glass or mug. You can join us for the simultaneous sip in spirit. We did it for you bright and early in the morning.

And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's the simultaneous sip, and it starts right now.

A Quote About Wasted Arguments

SPEAKER_03 2:59

Before you get into an argument, remember this quote. A bee does not waste its energy trying to convince a fly that honey is better than shit.

Comey Clip And Russia Dossier Fallout

SPEAKER_22 3:13

Absolutely. Save your energy for what actually matters. You know, one of the things I really love as I've been getting more and more into the political remodel project is this idea of the absurd, right? We just accept these absurdities of this, it's just normal, everyday life. So we're gonna start out today talking about some absurd things, and then we're gonna talk about the glaringly evident that everybody can see, but they choose not to, uh, as Ayn Rand described. We're gonna talk a lot about the economy today. So, this right here is a little interview. This is an old interview between George Stephanopoulos and James Comey. Now, knowing everything we know now about the Russian dossier, knowing everything we know now about his leaking, knowing everything we know now about what was going on, setting that up and the involvement of Barack Obama, directing the intelligence community to create a report with the following goals. Even after they'd been told it was all false. This interview was done kind of before that stuff was in the mainstream, before it was like we had the smoking gun documents. And this is what it says. This is this is James Comey in his own words. You want to talk about projection, right? This is this is the don't try to convince a uh what was it? What was it a honey bee that sh it's it's a honey or something like that? I can't remember. The video we just watched during the simultaneous sip, right? When you're talking to leftists, we're talking people on the far left that have that are deeply infected with Trump derangement system. They just don't get it. They still believe stuff like this. Now he's sharing his story about standing at the crossroads of the most controversial election in modern history.

SPEAKER_15 4:44

Do you say it's a dangerous time in our country?

SPEAKER_23 4:46

I think it is. And I chose those words carefully. I was worried when I chose the word dangerous first. I thought, is that an overstatement? And I don't think it is. Why not? I worry that the norms at the center of this country, we can fight as Americans about guns or taxes or immigration, and we always have. But what we have in common is a set of norms, most importantly, the truth. And if we lose that, if we lose tethering of our leaders to that truth, what are we?

SPEAKER_33 5:13

Did you tell him that the steel dossier had been financed by his political opponents?

SPEAKER_23 5:17

No. I didn't I don't even think I used the term steel dossier. I just talked about additional material.

SPEAKER_32 5:22

But did he have a right to know that?

SPEAKER_23 5:23

That had been financed by his political opponents. I don't know the answer to that. I it wasn't necessary for my goal, which was to alert him that we had this information. Did you believe his denial? I honestly never thought these words would come out of my mouth, but I don't know whether the the current president of the United States with prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow in 2013, it's possible.

Bongino On FBI Weaponization Claims

SPEAKER_22 5:48

Now, we know he knew from day one that it was all fake. So I don't know. My goal is just to extort him, is basically what he just said. In fact, that's how Donald Trump reacted when he came into the Oval Office and was like, hey, uh, you know, we've got a dossier and uh, you know, we've got tape the Russians have blackmail on you, but if you want us to keep it a secret, and Trump was like, Am I getting a shakedown? Is this an old mobster shakedown? You're fired, right? And it set off the nuclear explosion in Washington, D.C. that became the Russia Gate scandal. As Patrick Byrne had described it, just like with Hillary Clinton, they wanted to have a little scandal on her, and it was like a Bunsen burger. If she did anything with the Affordable Care Act or anything to uh Barack Obama's legit uh agenda, they could just turn on the Bunsen burner. Well, that's what they tried to manufacture for Trump. Some scandal that he didn't want to deal with, that they could put the Bunsen burner under the beaker and get that water boiling and trying to have it. Yeah, as Kennedy says, he's got oranges the size of beach balls, right? He's like, no, you're fired. So that's what we've been living through. Pony Boy says, I do see a lot of drilling wigs, but don't keep keep track of the rig count. Uh, but it's definitely more busy than usual. Not just the big oil companies, but the mom pop company is as well. Yeah, exactly, Pony Boy. He had to alert him that we have blackmail on you. And Trump was like, I've never peed on hookers. I'm a germa photo. Pray the Rosary Daily, glad you make it. It is Friday. It's a good one. Now, Dan Bongino did the podcast interview with Sean Hannity. I love how all the news guys that have like a news show also have a podcast show, the anchor them. So if you're like a diehard Hannity fan, you can go listen to it. Which I mean, it makes sense. Hannity would do three hours a day on the radio and then an hour on TV. That's four hours a day, Ron. We're we're slacking here.

SPEAKER_24 7:36

We should put this stuff. I am getting tired of the radio guys going, check me on the YouTubes, on the Insta, and everything else. And it's like, oh geez. Just stay in your lane, man.

SPEAKER_22 7:45

Stay in your lane. Terrestrial radio. So here's Dan Bongino, former deputy director of the FBI, former Secret Service agents, and as he calls himself the podcast king or whatever. His show's not doing as well as it once was. A lot of people are kind of upset with him. And you know what? We'll see. We'll see the redemption arc here. It's very possible that Dan Bongino did great things inside the FBI. I think he did. I think it's just his eyes. I think it's just his eyes. And I think it's the Epstein didn't kill himself. Right, exactly. I'm afraid they're gonna come for me.

SPEAKER_24 8:16

That's what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_22 8:17

Yeah. So this is Dan Bongino talking about the messages that FBI agents sent each other using government servers and just the brazenness of it and how they were just frankly anti-American.

SPEAKER_30 8:30

Uh why do you think they left? Because there was like better pickings on the outside? Um, they left because they were afraid we were going to discover what they and a lot of them we did. We had a fire, a lot of them. Some left voluntarily, some left, some left the minute cash was uh was sworn into a. There's nothing we could do. I think we're already got you can't like rehire them to fire them, nor would you. Um but we would open up investigations on things where we suspected there was weaponization. And you would read some of these emails. Uh and you f first thing honestly that came to mind, it's not not making light of it, but you'd be like, What a moron? This is an FBI system, you you dipshit. Are you this stupid? You wrote this on an FBI system. That was the first Cash and I would sit there, I'm telling you, we'd be scratching our heads like, did this moron just put didn't it? It's a government system. You didn't realize this was being logged.

SPEAKER_39 9:22

So after you by the way, the you have the technology to retrieve it.

SPEAKER_30 9:25

Of course, of course. And some of the stuff they were stunned because there's there's like there's a lot of different com systems in the FBI. There's levels, there's like low side, medium side, high side, like high high side. And some of these people thought we couldn't find this stuff, which was just crazy. We would read some of their emails, and after you got over the just pure stupidity of it, you'd be like, brother, like you just said like the FBI. The FBI I bought, I'm telling you, I walked in there very humble.

COVID Origins And VAERS Oversight

SPEAKER_22 9:59

So I walked in there very humble, but they were knowingly doing that stuff, right? Like anti-American. We've got, we're gonna cover it a little bit later. A weaponization of government report going after Catholics and Christians. Absolutely stunning. Here's another clip. Again, when you're dealing with leftists that have just bought into this American socialist system, this this, you know, uh, you can have your freedom allegedly, right? Like you can pretend to be free, but you're really not free. Going back to COVID, right? We've had some COVID revelations this week. We had that indictment earlier this week. It was a big deal. It was about covering up the source of the Wuhan virus, the coronavirus, that it did, in fact, come from the lab, but they created the it came out of nature and a bat or a pangolin or some nonsense like that, right? And what did that do? It made it so that we couldn't go after China. It also made it so that people were readily willing to accept the COVID vaccine because this thing came out of nature, it's this morphed virus. If we knew it had come out of a lab, people probably wouldn't have taken the vaccine, right? Our awareness of Machiavellian politics might have kicked in.

SPEAKER_24 11:06

It would have changed the calculus quite a bit.

SPEAKER_22 11:08

Yeah, and just like the FBI thought, oh, it'll never be found out, you had the same thing going on in our medical establishment.

SPEAKER_43 11:15

I do not see vigilance at work. With VARES, the CDC chose to ignore its own standard operating procedure and not run proportional reporting ratios in favor of the FDA's, what Walency calls more robust, and Shimma Bakura calls the gold standard. VARES had been grossly underreported for the first thirty years, maxing out at 58,000 reports. In its 31st year alone, VARES logged 18 times that number. Because of this disproportionality, the FDA's disproportionality analysis was washed out. Since both vaccines were of the same platform and same adverse events, the comparison was muted. This isn't a blind spot. The FDA was completely blind to adverse events, and the CDC wasn't even looking. There was a savior in the ranks of the FDA who correctly identified the problem, appropriately worked with the inventor of EB data mining to create a solution, communicated the fix to everyone who would listen. The problem is no one listened.

SPEAKER_22 12:17

So you've got a medical establishment that was completely ignoring the side effects. On purpose. Imagine a government, a a government agency that's tasked with keeping Americans safe and healthy, that doesn't care about your safety and health. What's their motivation? Probably money. Money and power.

SPEAKER_43 12:36

Luck was not on our side. The CDC failed to look. The FDA failed to fix a broken system that the CDC touted as the gold standard. The HHS failed to protect us, especially after our freedom of choice was assaulted by the president threatening us all with our patients is wearing thin. FOIA evasion was well practiced and discovered, obviously, not through a FOIA. Simply put, during the largest pharmaceutical rollout in human history, pharmacovigilance did not exist. That is the betrayal of our time. So vast that we cannot even count its casualties.

SPEAKER_22 13:17

So vast that we can't even count its our its casualties. And that is Carl Jablanowski, PhD Director of Science and Research, testifying before Congress. So vast we couldn't even count its casualties. We will never ever know the death toll. We'll never know it. We'll never know the side effects. People that will deal with chronic issues the rest of their life, we'll never know.

SPEAKER_24 13:40

And everybody wants to put their head in the sand too and just pretend like it's not still happening. It's still happening. There are still side effects happening every day.

DOJ Bias Against Christians Concerns

SPEAKER_22 13:48

Yes. And that's the that's the crazy thing. Like we're health and human services that had nothing to do with health or humanity. Right. I mean, that that's just what it boils down to. You've got FBI agents using government servers to completely you know attack the American people. You've got James Comey, who's trying to blackmail the president over a complete hoax. You have the CDC, HHS, CD, C uh sorry, CDC, HHS, NIH, and FDA turning a complete blind eye to the death toll. And then we had this yesterday. This is a Democrat senator, Mr. Reed, Senator Reed, and he's talking to Pete Hegseth, and he's criticizing Christianity and nationalism. Again, when you're talking to a leftist, they just don't care, man. They have totally accepted the absurdity of all of this.

SPEAKER_20 15:05

And if you want to shame me for it, go ahead.

SPEAKER_22 15:09

I've got an old clip with Senator Kane where he talks about our fundamental rights don't come from God. They come from government. Iran thinks they come from God. And it's like, what? You know, I thought I was endowed with certain inalienable rights by my creator. You know, not and that my creator is not government. At best, it's mommy and daddy. Okay. Doug Wyatt, good morning, peasants. Glad you made it. I'm so glad you're here. Now we have a solution to all of this, okay? It's just absurd. When I get in our local Kitsap County Republican meeting, and candidates who are getting ready to run for office stand up and they go, I can appeal to left voters. I can appeal to Democrats. I'm like, even the Democrats don't want to appeal to Democrats. The Democrats in my local district are going to run a guy that walks around with a pocket constitution. Okay. Like they don't even want to appeal to Democrats. So when I see Republicans being like, oh, I want to appeal to Democrats, it's like, dude, you've lost the plot. You've given up the ground. You've given up the fight. You've accepted this all as it is. It doesn't have to be this way. We don't have a government, have to have a government that's weaponized against us. So Donald Trump has an absolutely great plan on how to turn things around. And I think this is this is almost at this point exactly what we need to do. Lean into it. We need to really lean into it.

SPEAKER_33 16:24

Like always unanimous. The Democrats will vote against anything. No matter how good. If they have their favorite thing in the world, and we happen to want it, we found a new strategy. We're going to oppose every single thing that we want, and we'll get unanimous. I'm going to come up and oppose everything, Brian, from this point forward. And they'll vote for it.

SPEAKER_22 16:48

I think that's it. That's we just need to lean into it. No, we need more government censorship. And if you say that to a leftist, they'll be like, no, we don't really need more government censorship. No, we need all of it. We need we need the Casio. Hold on, we need one. Yeah, we need it. Uh Senator Kennedy, who gave us the great quote, you know, Trump's oranges are the size of beach balls. I don't know if he's got like a plantation down in Florida or what he's got going on there. But he's talking about Keir Starmer. Now remember, a couple days ago, we read about the three types of socialism. You've got totalitarian socialism, which is like the communist system. It's open, it's blatant. If you oppose us, dead, prison, whatever. Okay. Then you've got European socialism, which is like, hey, we're all a big family, and don't worry, the elite, the technocrats, the oligarchs, we know best. We're smarter than you guys. Look at how much money we have, you know, but that's okay. We'll we'll take care of you. You've got that model, and then you've got the American model, which is, hey, you guys are free, central bank, you know, corporate corporatocracy, you know, you can have you can choose whichever cell phone provider you want: ATT, T-Mobile, or Verizon. Which and those three all are essentially one company, right?

SPEAKER_24 18:00

Which system has the leaders that like coke? Coke, cocaine? I think that's all of them.

SPEAKER_22 18:06

That's all of them.

SPEAKER_00 18:07

Just check it.

SPEAKER_22 18:08

So this is this is John Kennedy spilling the beans here. The American Democrats want us to go more socialist, they want us to be more like Europe. And he compares his Democrat colleagues on how much they love Keir Starmer because he's just barely left of Lenin.

SPEAKER_08 18:23

What my Democratic colleagues really like is uh uh Keir Starmer, who's the prime minister of the United Kingdom, who is just to the left of Lenin. Uh he's very unpopular with the uh uh people of UK. He's polling right up there with gonorrhea. I don't know how much longer he can last. Uh but but this this guy um he he he would give Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez a run for her money in terms of his loony, loony woke ideas.

SPEAKER_22 18:58

Absolutely, absolutely. That's the thing, right? European leftism is the direction our country wants to go, and it's just shy of totalitarianism. No thing. You know, we don't spend a ton of time talking about the problems in Europe, but every country has a mass migration problem, every country has a debt problem, they have a national defense problem, they can't defend themselves, they have an energy problem, right? Like what problems don't they have? They've got them all. They got censorship to the umpteeth degree. I mean, UK, what was the stats? Like 18,000 prisoners over free speech violations. You know, in America, we're floating around a few hundred, you know, and as you kind of get a little sketchy on some of those. But 18,000, it's just they're blatant and open.

SPEAKER_24 19:39

And I don't know what their currency is like. Do they have a printer like we got? Yeah, they have a printer like we got. They borrow ours.

SPEAKER_22 19:45

I think they like have a Wi-Fi connection or something. Now, the other thing that happens over in Europe is there's mass gun control, especially in Britain, right? In fact, their gun control laws are so strict that criminals will use knives. So now they're doing knife control laws. You know what I'm talking about, right? Yes, I do. Do you remember that clip where the guy's like, this machete, this is terrifying? And I'm like, that thing looks dull. I've got Boy Scouts that have had bigger machetes than that. You know what I mean? Like, all you need to do is get a totem chip, you'll be fine. Check out my blood circle. Check out my blood circle, exactly. But literally, they're outlawing the carrying of knives because criminals will use knives. It's it's there's an interim corresponding between criminality and crime. You know, it doesn't matter what you make illegal, they're going to carry the knife, they're going to carry the guns. I remember years and years ago when one of the school shootings happened, and it was a tragic shooting. It was one of the big ones. It was like 21 kids or something like that were killed. I can't I honestly can't remember the school shooting. But I remember going through my news, my going through the news of the day, and on that very same day in America, somebody used a gun in a school to commit mass violence. In China, somebody in a school took a knife and killed the exact same number of children on the same day. The same day. Right. And I remember thinking, this has nothing to do with guns. This has to do with mental health. This has to do with uh nihilism. This has nothing to do with the weapon. This has to do with criminals, right? And the response to every act of violence in our country that has involved guns is leftists have tried to take guns. And the result of that is law-abiding citizens get caught up in those gun laws. Criminals don't care, man. Like they're already criminals. Once you cross that Rubicon, they're just like, whatever, I'll carry guns. You know, I don't see a lot of drug dealers that are smart enough not to carry guns. In fact, I've I used to joke in prison, like, man, if you're gonna go to, you know, if you're gonna go to prison or do drugs or guns, pick one. Don't combine the two because your your sentence gets double. So yesterday, there was a huge, actually, I think this was two days ago, there was a huge announcement by uh acting attorney general Todd Blanche. And the ATF director and everything. They appointed a new ATF director, but they also got a huge rollback in gun laws and how the executive branch is going to prosecute, you know, law-abiding gun owners. This is a really big deal. So at this point, you need to understand Trump is winning. But a lot of these things, it listen, we didn't build this corrupt temple in five years. This is a hundred years, right? This is like 1913 and then finalized in 1933. We became American socialists, corporatists, or whatever you want to call it. And so there's been an erosion of our rights all this time. It's not like you can turn all this around the first two weeks Trump's in office. For the doomers out there, you need to recognize a lot of this stuff you've got to cut down the tree, plant the new seeds, weed, water, repeat, right? It's going to take time. But this is one of those big steps being taken when it comes to our gun rights.

SPEAKER_19 22:55

We listen to industry leaders, many of whom are in this room behind me, to legal experts, and most importantly, to law-abiding gun owners across this country. People who follow the rules but have been forced to navigate a system that often didn't make sense. The package that we're putting forward today and over the coming days reflects all of those voices. It includes 34 proposed rules, more than ATF has issued in the last 15 years combined. It reflects months of work since the beginning of this administration, and I want to be candid right now about why this is necessary. For too long, regulations were written without any real understanding of how firearms businesses operate. A lot of gun owners actually handle their firearms or what truly improves public safety.

SPEAKER_22 23:48

We listen to industry. Isn't that great? Right? Because you've got a lot of gun manufacturers that have been handcuffed with the rules and regulations, and the ATF, who creates these rules vis-a-vis the Chevron Deference Doctrine, have no idea how these companies operate.

SPEAKER_24 24:04

Well, I think they'd love to sell guns to people like me who can't buy them because of Washington State. I know it's horrible here.

SPEAKER_22 24:11

Like bolt actions only, basically. Yeah. The other interesting thing here is unlike the pharmaceutical industry where you people go from big pharma into the FDA and back and forth, ATF and the DOJ has had a complete ban on anybody coming out of the gun industry to come in and work with them and just have rejected lobbying. I mean, the NRA, I mean, Pierre, whatever his name was at the NRA, he did some stupid money things. But I mean, have you heard about the NRA much recently? No. They were basically obliterated by DOJ targeting, right? I mean, just totally obliterated. Here's another thing. You don't think we're winning? Here's another big rollback. Again, sunlight is the best disinfectant. And we have to remember there was a significant change, that Chevron Deference case, which allowed executive branch agencies to create rules and stuff like that when it was when it was when it was overturned by the Loper Bright decision. Now, as these rules get removed, it's going to take a full vote of the legislature and a signature by the president to put any of these rules back. So that's one of the reasons why this presidency, Donald Trump's, is so consequential in this period of time for every rule or regulation he puts away, they cannot all be just restored by the next president with a stroke of a pen. That is one of the most significant things that a lot of people totally miss. And you might be hearing this from me for the first time.

SPEAKER_24 25:32

Yeah, I am right now.

SPEAKER_22 25:34

Yeah, this is a big, big deal. Big deal. Because the the legislature is going to have to flex their muscle to actually change things. So here was from the Department of Justice. They had a, they had in their weaponization working group, they report released a report. So these are examples of anti-Christian bias in the DOJ during the Biden administration. The Biden DOJ aggressively opposed the concerned parents through the Garland memo and used its enforcement authority against parents who defended their children's safety at local school board meetings. They aggressively opposed concerns. Next, the Biden DOJ immediately went to work to mandate the adoption of gender ideology throughout the federal government, far beyond the Supreme Court's ruling in Bostok versus Clayton County. The Biden DOJ also considered requests for religious exemptions related to gender ideology as harmful conduct to be regulated and pushed its incorrect Bostok interpretation in amicus briefs, even through federal courts, even though federal courts repeatedly rejected it. So the court says don't do it. And they're like, okay, we're just keep going to keep doing it. The Biden DOJ advised White House and senior leadership that federal employees' religious objections to the COVID vaccines were, quote, insincere or not religious. The civil rights division sidelined Christians in favor of preferred constituencies. So the Trump administration has reversed some of this.

SPEAKER_24 27:03

Hold on, I think we forgot one. I mean, wasn't there, don't we? Can we fit the uh the IRS targeting of Christian entities in that list?

SPEAKER_22 27:12

Churches, conservative groups. Yeah, that's definitely one too. This was just DOJ. That was IRS.

SPEAKER_24 27:17

Oh, okay.

Judges Pressed On 2020 Election

SPEAKER_22 27:18

So now this Department of Justice is protecting religious liberty. So this is the new standards that the Department of Justice is working under. The Trump DOJ is protecting parental rights by rescinding the Garland memo and taking legal actions to protect students, including a lawsuit to drop stop the Lodeen County School, that's it up in Virginia, district from unlawfully forcing gender ideology on students who have sincerely held religious beliefs on marriage and human sexuality, as it should be. The Trump DOJ has returned the DOJ to law and order by rescinding the Biden Bost policies. As a result, all people of faith may once again freely exercise their faith. The Trump DOJ is protecting religious liberty in the federal workplace by issuing an office of legal counsel opinion affirming religious liberty protections for federal employees, which includes accommodation requests. The Trump DOJ is ending the weaponization of the FACE Act. That's the act that they would prosecute abortion protesters with, by protecting houses of worship. So they so the way the FACE Act was working was they only protected abortion clinics, even though in order to get that bill passed originally, they also threw in and houses of worship, but they never prosecuted anybody who protested or did anything violent in a house of worship. But now Don Lemon and his cat and his 39 friends are all on face facing face act charges for going into a Christian church and protesting, right? So they've kind of reversed that. The civil rights division has filed statements of in interest supporting faith communities in Relupia cases across the country. Big, big difference. You want to know another huge difference that Trump is doing? He is putting judges in place that I think have a level head. Okay. Now keep in mind, judges are typically the most conservative people you can think. They might have really wild ideologies, but generally they're not rhetorical, they're not bombastic, they're very reserved in their words. These are lawyers' lawyers. Does that make sense? So it doesn't mean they're not radical.

SPEAKER_24 29:16

They're applications of law masters.

SPEAKER_22 29:18

They're applications of law masters, and they're really good at making sure their words kind of fit within a box. So again, they might be wildly radical, but they figure out a way to make their opinions seem not radical, right? So here is a panel of judges. These are Article III judges appointed for life to the various U.S. district courts doing their Senate judiciary heing. And Senator uh Dick Blumenthal, denang Dick, as Trump likes to call him, Dick Blumenthal, the guy who lied about serving in Vietnam. I don't know how you lie about serving overseas in the military for years and years and years, and then get exposed and then turn around and still get elected to the Senate.

SPEAKER_24 30:03

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_22 30:04

That's what blows my mind. Like he is crying, I'm sorry, I wasn't really in Vietnam. And you go play all the clips, and it's like, when I was Vietnam hiding from Charlie, you know, you were never there. Like this is crazy. Anyways, he is asking these judges if Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

SPEAKER_45 30:23

Won the 2020 election.

SPEAKER_44 30:25

I'd say that uh that President Biden was certified the winner of the 2020 election.

SPEAKER_45 30:31

He won the election. Is that your response?

SPEAKER_44 30:34

Senator, I think my response is he was certified as the winner by counting the election.

SPEAKER_45 30:37

So you're unwilling to say he won the election. How about you, Mr. Roberts?

SPEAKER_27 30:41

I have this the same answer as my colleague, Senator.

SPEAKER_45 30:44

Same answer as the previous one. The previous nominee. The Senate didn't. Mr. Coons, how about you? Thank you, Senator. And I have the same answer as Mr. Henderson. Same answer. Unwilling to say that Joe Biden won the election, correct?

SPEAKER_07 31:01

As Mr. Hendershot said, it isn't become a matter of political concern, and Joe Biden.

SPEAKER_45 31:06

Well, it's a matter of political concern, but it's also an issue of fact. Is it not fact?

SPEAKER_22 31:11

Like Trump was peeing on Russian hookers. Same fact.

SPEAKER_07 31:14

Joe Biden was in fact certified the winner of the 2020 election. Mr. Marler.

SPEAKER_30 31:20

Same answer, Senator.

SPEAKER_45 31:24

I am amazed and really appalled that nominees for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench are unwilling to respond on an issue of fact. And I'm not gonna try to get an answer out of you because clearly you've been rehearsed to provide a stock answer, which I think really reflects not only on your honesty, but really on your fitness to be a federal judge, because you are supposed to be independent and to arrive at the truth based on the evidence before you. We need leaders who are fearless and strong. I can't tell you how disappointed I am. We can disagree on issues of law. We can disagree on issues of fact, but for you to simply avoid a factful and responsive answer, I think, is that disrespect to this committee as well as to us who won.

Rhino Republicans And Midterm Fears

SPEAKER_22 33:13

That makes me so happy. Are you telling me the judges that Trump is appointing won't admit or say that Biden won the election? I mean, yeah, he was certified. But 20 million extra votes from Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama? Like, are you freaking kidding me? You know what I mean? Do you see how things change? Those judges impact people's lives. Imagine if I had sat in front of one of those judges, he would have been like, yeah, you shouldn't riot. But your cause and why you were protesting, that's a non-issue. Do you see what I'm saying? Instead, the judges we got were like, Biden won the election. You guys are all idiots. You see, it's a completely different mentality. Now, I understand they're legalese. Look, Joe Biden was certified. That is a matter of fact. Yeah. Did he win the election in a genuine like electoral win, like from voters? I mean, they had a lot of ballots. I don't know about voters. Marty Easel says, Memories, we are in Evanston, Wyoming. Oh, Evanston, Wyoming. It's one of the my funnest places when I was a kid. I worked at a scout camp just south of Evanston, Wyoming. So that's where we'd go on the weekends and go to uh little Mexican restaurant in town, and I'd get the fajita quesadilla. It was great. All right. So here's the thing: there's a lot of rhino Republicans. What does Rhino mean? It means Republican in name only, right? They're rhino Republicans, but they pander to the left. These are the candidates that stand up and go, I think I can appeal to the left. Why would you appeal to the left? Is that because you share some ideologies? Is that because you're not actually a conservative? Is that because you don't want to be a stalwart for people? Or you're just corrupt or you're just corrupt, right? I can appeal to Democrats. Like, what are we talking about here? This is absurd. You're running for the Republican ticket. We have no interest in people who are going to go play footsies with the enemy, the people that are trying to take your guns, take your religious freedom, shove a vaccine down your throat, and pretend like the president was peeing on hookers and think that Joe Biden won the election, right? They're trying to snatch up.

SPEAKER_24 35:11

They're trying to snatch up your babies.

SPEAKER_22 35:12

Trying to snatch up our babies. You know, it's interesting. We're not going to play this today, but Planned Parenthood has gotten busted because they were taking money and kicked by, you know, money, money, money, money, money, money, money. But in their emails on their government servers, that they were instead of writing Planned Parenthood for where the money was going, they were writing Benghazi. Yeah. So that would avoid FOIA, right? Give me all the information on Planned Parenthood. Okay. The Benghazi emails don't show up. But people who were looking for Benghazi were like, what are they talking about? Transferring money to a Benghazi in Chicago, right? Isn't it interesting? Planned Parenthood, they would code name Benghazi, kind of like it was just one big slaughter. Isn't that interesting, the comparison? So this is Mark Halpern on his podcast two-way, and he's talking about the upcoming midterms. And he's talking about Republicans losing the Senate. And Republicans, these are the Republicans that have to appeal to the left. Trump is, this is my interpretation. Trump is so dominant in actually getting his agenda forward and stopping these long-term Democrat agendas that these rhino Republicans that try to appeal to the left, they don't think they can get those votes anymore because the left is coalescing around their far-left candidates because they're so infected with TDS that these middle ground Republicans are filling the heat and they think they're going to lose.

SPEAKER_05 36:31

Don't accuse me of burying the lead, but this could have been the lead. The Republican Party's in a heap of trouble, potentially. What I'm about to spring out for you here, this is not a prediction. This is not something they can't change, and this is not something I wish for because I don't have rooting interests here. But I'm telling you, we've got some data points today. The Republican Party may be in a lot of trouble. The midterms could be, again, ladies and gentlemen, I'm saying could be. And there are people in the Republican Party, including Newt Gingrich, who would tell you this is true. And they don't want it to happen. It could be a bloodbath. It could be a blue bud bloodbath in November. Uh plenty of time for things to change. Republicans have some ideas about how to change it, but I'm going to tell you some things now that suggests that this could be a nightmare. They could lose control of the Senate. You've never heard me say that. I've said just the opposite. They could lose more than 30 House seats. They could lose governors' races. No one's expecting them to lose. Let me tell you what's going on. First, uh, just a mess on Capitol Hill. Here's the politico headline. Johnson and Thune are just there, they get along, but man, they're having internal problems. Hill Republicans want Trump to solve their internal problems. Growing frustration among Senate Republicans and Trump allies that the House hasn't yes take up their funding of the Department of Homeland Security. There's also, as we said before, other things that the House is having trouble moving. Now, voters don't really care about this, but Republicans who think they're in trouble would like some accomplishments, and there's just a big log jam on the hill. They're waiting for the president to fix that. Then there's this poll out this morning from Emerson, 123, please. And again, it's one poll, but Democrats hold a 10-point advantage in the generic ballot question, 124 please. Here you can see the numbers, and those of you watching can see. Uh back in July of 25, it was 44 or 42 Democrats, then it was 43 all. And then it was pretty even up until July this January, when it went to six, then eight, then seven. Now 10-point generic advantage. And this one may be the biggest canary in the coal mine of all, ladies and gentlemen. Just as I've been a leader in saying the chances of Democrats taking the Senate are highly overstated and overrated. I've also said Mr. Tallerico is not going to be the Democrat who breaks the decades-long streak of no Democrat winning statewide in Texas, because he is extremely liberal. However, a new poll from Texas Tribune, 119, shows Mr. Taller Rico ahead within the margin of error of both John Cornyn and Ken Paxton, beating Paxton by five in this poll, Corning by three. If the environment is horrible for Republicans, if the president's approval rating is down in Texas, and if Taller Rico is the one who finally does what Democrats who've tried to win statewide have been trying to do, get every liberal to vote, win over independence, and get some Republicans, because he's he's he's religious, uh he could win. I know.

SPEAKER_22 39:24

And here's why it has nothing to do, in my opinion. I mean, Mark Halpern, he reads these polls, he kind of takes them all like they're gospel. Some of these polls are completely rigged and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_24 39:35

Uh, we've seen polls like this before. I mean, Hillary Clinton was gonna take it away, and so was Harris.

SPEAKER_22 39:40

Yeah, but Republicans want Republicans to be Republicans. So if you're polling and it's John Cornyn or it's Senator Casey or it's Mitt Romney who's now gone, right? They don't poll well with independents and Democrats, and they definitely don't poll well with MAGA. And MAGA is not gonna show up to vote for them, essentially conceding the race to the left. That's the problem. It's the rhino Republicans that don't lean into Trump's agenda that are trying to still work with the left. Republicans are not going to support them, and that's going to be the thing that is the problem in the midterms. It's not gonna be Trump's agenda, it's not gonna be Trump's accomplishments. It's that these Republicans didn't get on board with it and take the wins. You have the majorities. You could pass anything you want, you could nuke the filibuster. Who's standing in the way of that? Does that make sense? And that's what Republicans are gonna be like. We're just not gonna show up for that guy. Trump's not on the ballot, we're not showing up for Murkowski, we're not showing up for Collins, Cassie, Cornyn. And you can go, there's a whole nother list of them, right? That's what they oppose because every other indication is we have massive wins. Like, for example, that voter rights bill with racial gerrymandering, the majority of the minorities, right? It was overturned. This hands the Republicans some seats in 2026, but a lot of seats in 2028.

SPEAKER_28 41:13

In fact, um, can we put up, I want the chart. You're saying there's actually 23 seats, including the ones that we've already taken down in places like uh Florida and in Texas. But totally in this cycle, the pickup total should be 20 23 seats, ma'am.

SPEAKER_17 41:33

Yes, it is. And that that's just what is left. It could be more than that if you know states like Indiana had an abbox this. Um, and so we there's several more that you could pick up because of this VRA ruling in 2028. A couple of them have like 10 governors who would be to have it. It could be challenged in court. Now, a court challenge is not going to uh give a remedy ahead of the 2026 um election. And so I think you know, total it could be as many as 28, 29 seats. We'll we'll see. But right now, there are 23 seats that I see on the map that we could have gotten or could go get tomorrow, and is an absolute game changer.

SPEAKER_28 42:10

This is a game changer. This changes everything, folks. This is why we went to Texas and Virginia, we're saying, hey, look, don't, don't, don't black pill. The cavalry's on its way. You hear, see it right here, but the establishment has to get off their butts and get something done. Stick right there.

SPEAKER_22 42:26

Carolina River. The establishment has to get off their butts and get something done. The map just changed completely. That many pickups, we're good. That many pickups, we will rock and roll. So why are Republicans nervous? Because they know they they have been running on. I appeal to the left. And you know what they don't appeal to when you appeal to the left? The right. The right. Because what does the left believe in? Joe Biden won the election, Christians are bad, nationalists are horrible, uh, fiscal responsibility. Well, what's in it for me? You know what I mean? Like, they don't like that. So that's the risk. It's the independent candidates, the Republicans, that could lose the Republican votes if they don't turn to the right. You need to embrace your voters, the people who put you in office, your majority. Why are you pandering to the minority? Republicans have stood behind Trump and voted down ballot every time he's been on the ballot. And they've put in some candidates that we had to, as I think Steve Bannon mentions, hold your nose and vote for, right? And that's what's at risk here because Trump is making big gains. So even in these districts that are minority, majority or yeah, but minority majority districts, right? Black voters, the rep the Democrat Party has counted on VAC black voters in huge numbers, always voting for Democrats. The problem is Donald Trump has chewed into that base so much that even without the redistricting, it was a problem. Now with the redistricting. Redistricting, it's a huge problem. Harry Enton on CNN breaks this down.

SPEAKER_39 44:04

Yeah, I think what we're seeing right now in the numbers is President Trump and the Republican Party are chipping away at the long-term advantage that Democrats have had with black voters with African Americans. You can see it right here. Look, Trump's approval among African Americans at this point in term one, he was at 12%. You know, he's been losing ground with a lot of people. He's gaining. He's gaining ground with African Americans. He's up to 16% at this point. And you say, this isn't that big of a shift. But I will tell you, Republicans absolutely love this shift that's going on because Democrats have had such a long-term vantage. The fact that he's actually gaining ground versus where he was in term number one, this has major implications for elections down the line because Democrats, especially in a lot of these tight races, you talk about places like Georgia, right down in the South. You see this type of movement for Trump actually gaining ground. This could have major ramifications and could help put Republicans over the top in a number of southern places in the midterm elections.

SPEAKER_46 45:00

So do you see this as part of a bigger trend?

SPEAKER_39 45:02

I see this as absolutely part of a bigger trend. Donald Trump's Republican Party is absolutely gaining ground, not just him gaining in terms of his approval rating, but look at the party ID margin, Kate, because this to me was absolutely stunning. Look at this party ID margin among African Americans at this point in Trump term number one, Democrats had a 63-point advantage. That is absolutely falling. Look at where it is now. A double-digit shift away. Democrats, of course, still have the advantage, but it's a 12-point shift to the Republican Party. And I look back through Gallup's records. They sent me their records. And this, in fact, lead that Democrats have is actually smaller than any lead from 2006 to 2021. So Democrats are leading, but again, we're talking about chipping away. Republicans are chipping away at this long-term advantage that Democrats have had among African Americans. We see it in terms of Trump's approval rating, and we even see it to a wider degree among the party ID margin, where all of a sudden there are a number of African Americans who are walking away from the Democratic Party and a number of them who are walking into the Republican tent.

SPEAKER_46 46:05

That is very interesting with looking at that Pascallup information. What does this mean for the race for control in Congress?

SPEAKER_39 46:11

Okay, so you see this right here. You see this 51-point advantage that Democrats have significantly less than you see that 63-point advantage. And what we will note was back in 2024, right? Donald Trump put in a historically strong performance among African Americans. Democrats performed the worst in a generation. Have they gained any of that coalition back from where they fell down to in 2024? But take a look here. Okay. Choice for election among African Americans. Kamala Harris was leading amongst that group in the pre-election polling by 63 points. Are Democrats gaining back any of that ground? Uh-uh. It's a 62-point advantage now. Republicans are holding on to the gains that they made among African Americans in 2024. Republicans are gaining among African Americans. They are chipping away at that long-term advantage. The Donald Trump-led Republican Party is making gains among African Americans that we simply put have not seen the Republican Party make in a generation.

SPEAKER_46 47:03

Fascinating. Good to see you, Hara. Thanks so much for putting it together.

SPEAKER_22 47:07

Isn't that interesting? Republicans are chipping away at the gain, Donald Trump, because blacks are attracted to his agenda. The immigration agenda, the pro-jobs agenda, the pro-family agenda. They're attracted to that. The strong leadership. And they're not, and the Democrats aren't gaining this ground back, right? Blacks don't really care about the war in Iran. We've been a war forever. Who cares? But you know what they do see? Jobs. Because you know why? Illegal immigrants in their community are being deported. You know what they do care about? Right? Stuff that Trump is making headway on. Here's Kamala Harris. And this is fascinating because her odds of becoming the nominee for Democrats in 2024 has quadrupled, Ron.

SPEAKER_24 47:50

From quadrupled from what? One of the things that we're talking about?

SPEAKER_22 47:53

It's quadrupled. So here she is giving a speech, and the sound's not great. And I would do, for those of you that are video watchers, I want to draw your attention to the saxophone player while she's giving this rousing speech. But she expresses some concerns about the Republican Party. And she says something that it's like, they've worked for decades to get to this point. Good.

SPEAKER_26 48:16

People will take to the street that they're trying to answer much.

SPEAKER_22 48:22

That's the saxophone player sleeping while she's talking on a stage with her. So the sounds horrible, but she says the Republicans have worked for decades to get to this point to make it so difficult for people to vote. So she's pretty concerned. Now her odds have quadrupled. She had 2%, she's up to 8%. Oh, so yeah. Big worries here. So I wasn't so far off. She's climbing in the polymarket odds. Now, our favorite CIA senator, she represents the CIA up in Michigan. I don't know how she got that seat. Clearly, the people in you know Michigan are just totally in on CIA operatives becoming senators, but she's a CIA operative, okay? And she ran for Senate. She won. And she is grilling Pete Heggseth again. The fact that Democrats are this worried about the election and they're planting these seeds of doubt about the 2026 midterms. I mean, you're you're hearing everything over on Blueski or Blue Sky from Trump's gonna cancel the midterms because he's gonna lose. Okay. He's gonna send troops to you know to keep people from voting and intimidate voters. Okay. She's in a Senate committee hearing. This was live, live streamed on C SPAN, okay? Grilling Pete Heggseth about are you gonna tell Trump no when he tells you to send troops to the polling station?

SPEAKER_11 49:51

Asks you to seize ballots or voting machines in states during the 2026 election. Will you stand up for the Constitution and say no, or will you absolute and do his bidding?

SPEAKER_20 50:03

To the sedition six. Well, again, that's the most important thing.

SPEAKER_11 50:19

It's what's happening.

SPEAKER_20 50:21

It's a yet another gotcha hypothetical, which is your special order. Under the Biden administration in 2024.

SPEAKER_11 50:30

It's not a hypothetical. I refuse to accept. You give that answer all the time. You and I have done this dance before. Get over it. Okay. In 2020, he he's the president, your boss, the guy you're performing for right now, told the journalists this year that he wished he signed that executive order to your predecessor. And your predecessor said publicly, Thank God, we didn't actually go forward with it. What are you gonna do? You're the guy here in the seat. It's not hypothetical. Tell the American people will you deploy a uniform military to our polls to collect voter rolls or machines?

SPEAKER_20 51:03

Oh boy. Are you accusing me of performing? Because you're performing for cable news right now. Yeah, but we have a it's a hypothetical. By the way, in 2024, under the Biden administration, 15 states did deploy.

SPEAKER_11 51:15

Under their governor's authority, when their governors asked, What did Joe Biden say? That's fundamentally I don't think anything because he needed them for cybersecurity and for COVID. Trump did it too.

SPEAKER_22 51:25

Wait, why would you need cybersecurity at polling stations? Why would you need cybersecurity at polling stations? I have no idea. I don't I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't I don't I don't understand. I thought I thought it was air gapped, totally secure, not connected to the internet. Why would you need cybersecurity people there at polling stations? It's just it's a conundrum, you know.

SPEAKER_11 51:44

Under Trump. But it was not the federal decision, it was those governors of the states under their authorities. Okay, it's never been done in our history. Please stand up for the Constitution. Do not send uniformed military to our polls.

SPEAKER_34 51:59

You have a response to that portion of the question, Mr.

unknown 52:02

Secretary.

The Fed As A Hedge Fund

SPEAKER_22 52:03

You know, it's interesting. Uh, Donald Trump said one time, you've got to use law enforcement. The only thing these Democrats are afraid of are a badge and a gun. That's the only thing they're afraid of. They wield that tool, absolutely, right? When they're in charge, they're sending troops. When Trump's in charge, don't send troops. It makes you really wonder what is it that they're trying to protect? It's power, but it's also money. Now remember, America is socialist. We have to get over that. This idea that we're a republic, no, we're not. We're we're a socialist democracy. Okay, we have a central bank. This is a big problem for us. And it all goes down to money because what is money, Ron? What is money? Power. Money is power. Money is power in many more ways than just influence and coercion and force. Money is literally power in every aspect. And so our government, our socialist government, what these Democrats are trying to protect, what they're desperate to protect through the means of voters, through the means of illegal immigration, through every policy choice they have made for the last hundred years, is try to protect power. And that's intricately tied with money. And so, how does the central bank operate? The central bank is a big fat Ponzi scheme. It's totally unaccountable to real market forces. Here's Squawkbox, CNBC, with uh what's his name here? David Malpas. He's the former president of the World Bank, talking about how the central bank and the banks are essentially completely fleecing over the American people.

SPEAKER_12 53:47

Yeah, it's uh worrisome. You know, the Fed basically has become now just a giant hedge fund. It's lost a trillion dollars, you know, and counting. It's going to be a gigantic loss. What it does is borrows money at 5.4% from banks and then dumps it into government bonds. So think what that trade does. That causes the government to think that it's better off than it is. And so that encouraged and uh the government to be short when rates were zero. So why did the government le you know borrow so much in T-bills? Uh well, because the Fed was buying the bonds and it made it look like yields were going to stay low for long, remember the low for long phrase. Uh so we've got these multiple problems that are going on, and it it uh endangers the dollar. So that's the basic case.

SPEAKER_36 54:35

Instead of the Fed having such large balances, wouldn't the private sector be starting businesses and risking capital and bringing returns and adding to growth, wouldn't all that money be better if it wasn't but the Fed Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_12 54:50

That's right. And we're depending on uh private equity. So as the banks get squeezed out, because they're lending so much to the Fed, uh you know, it's literally it's literally a floating rate loan from banks to the Federal Reserve so it can buy government bonds. So if that were freed up, uh that would allow uh the banks to even to at least consider a small business loan and inventory loan, the kinds of things that help the economy grow. And this is on a global basis, it's not just the Fed, it's uh all the major central banks doing the same thing, meaning taking money from the economy in order to buy government bonds. We need to be clear on that. I heard the previous segment, they talk about money printing. There isn't any money printing on it, it's just money borrowing, and they pay top dollar for it. You the Fed pays 5.4 to banks and 5.3 to money market funds, so to the Fidelity and Van uh Vanguard and so on.

SPEAKER_22 55:48

Do you understand what he's saying there? They're taking your savings, they're taking your investments, and they're giving loaning it to the Fed, who then turns around and backloads the government coffers instead of giving small business loans, mortgages, and things at a good interest rate. Because the Fed can get five something percent from the Fed, from the Federal Reserves, the central banks.

SPEAKER_24 56:11

Why would they give you a mortgage at 3%, 4%? This is the first time I've heard this this way in my brain, and I would your brain just break? Well, well, it didn't break, but it made me a little bit mad.

SPEAKER_22 56:23

As it should, Ron. We should be pissed off. Like Jeffrey Epstein said, if you understood how banks do what do with your money, people would riot.

SPEAKER_24 56:32

Even Jeffrey Epstein acknowledged that. I knew that they were doing this, but I what I didn't realize until just this second is that they were shaving like another five percent on fees. Uh I didn't realize that part of it, and I was like, what the hell? Yeah. Now, this is really important for us because that's an incentive for them to overdo it. And it made immediately made me think, I wonder what a healthy load of of uh T bills on your balance sheet is, you know? Um, I mean here's the thing.

SNAP Fraud And Data Resistance

SPEAKER_22 57:06

As peasants, you think you put money in the bank, they pay you an interest rate, and then they take your money and they lend it to some other guy to buy a car or buy a house, and it's secure and they've got the right reserves. The reality is they're not. They're taking your money and giving it to the Fed, and then the Fed uses that money to go and buy government bonds, which then puts it in the coffers of the legislature to spend. Right. And what do they do with that money? They buy off voters, they buy off constituencies, they dead hole it. They dead hole it. Here's Brooke Rollins. I'm putting this together for you, peasants. This is I'm a peasant too. This is incredibly important. It's killing our economy, right? It's killing us. Yeah, it makes them completely unaccountable. This is this is what enables health and human services to ignore health and humanity over money. Yeah, right. And the government thinks they have all the money they want to spend because they're literally stealing it from you when you go put your money in the bank and your savings. And then they, when they do loan it back to you, they loan it back at a higher interest rate than what they'd loan to the Fed because they would never loan you the money for less. The Fed will just buy it all and then turn around and give it to the government, the legislature, and the executive branch to spend. Here's an example of how that money gets spent to create constituencies that are dependent on certain politicians to do it. This is Brooke Rollins, the U.S. agriculture secretary. They went and looked at SNAP benefits and where the SNAP benefits were going. And only red states provided them with this information. Okay. Of course. This is just the red states. Imagine what's happening in the blue states.

SPEAKER_09 58:48

Governor in America saying fraud and abuse in the SNAP program, the food stamp program will end. And please be our partner in this. Twenty-nine states responded. Um, all but two were, of course, red states, Republican governors, and they said, yes, we are in. And within that data dump, billions of pieces of data that we're now sharing with the states, we found 500,000 people getting more than one benefit illegally. We found 244,000 dead people. Laura, this is just the red states. In that time, we have now arrested, it's just the red states. We have now arrested 895 different people in the last year for illegally um using the food stamp system. And now, of course, we're talking about what is happening with that money. So we're making a lot of progress. Of course, the blue states are suing us to say that they don't have to share that data, but the corruption is absolutely astounding. The vice president has now leaned in with his fraud task force. We are now on supercharge. Uh, not that we weren't before, but now we're really on warp speed to do everything we can in the file, you know, the next two and a half years to get this under control and to change it for good.

SPEAKER_16 59:57

Okay, well, you know all the fraud's gonna be in.

SPEAKER_22 1:00:00

Yeah, you know the majority of the fraud is gonna be in the left states. Why? Because that's where Democrats have consolidated their power by buying off these constituencies. So all that money that they take from you and they give to the Fed, and the Fed buys government bonds and gives the cash to the state, and then the state can turn around and spend it on these ill, you know, fraudulent snap recipients, huge numbers. And then here's the other thing they were not just paying it to local people. Like, at least if it goes to someone who's living in our community, it might make its way to the grocery stores and stuff. At least, at least you get that. It turns out, as they went and looked at this, they found out that foreigners from foreign email domains were registering for these benefits.

SPEAKER_16 1:00:46

And email accounts were used to sign up for food stamps from some in foreign countries, Canada, China, Mexico. You can't even make this. This is like COVID fraud.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:59

It really is so scary to think. If President Trump hadn't won, you know, November of 2024, I don't know that we would have ever gotten our back. I really don't believe that. Because we had had the first term and then we had four years to sort of get ready and organize and then go really fast. This is why we're uncovering all of this. What you're talking about is this crazy thing called broad-based categorical eligibility. 46 states use it, which basically just means, oh, here's an electric bill and here's an email address. There's no identification um verification required, and anybody can sign up for it. And in the Biden years, the food stamp program grew by 40 percent. Of course, they're buying votes, right?

SPEAKER_22 1:01:40

They're they're hoping 40 percent. It almost doubled in four years. And of course, wow, they're buying votes because money is power in so many ways.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:55

And that's why they're fighting so hard against us right now to keep this data from coming in so that we can really fix the program. But we're gonna do it, we're making a lot of progress. And I'm just I'm really grateful to the USDA team. It's our inspector general at USDA that has really found those 893 that have been arrested, that are going to trial, they're going to jail. And yeah, we're not gonna exactly it is a drop in the bucket, but but it's important to think about where we are, where we were. We've got a lot of work to do.

SPEAKER_22 1:02:24

Yeah, it's yeah. So all you need is an email address and a utility bill, and we'll pay it. And they're buying votes with that increase in recipients that people become dependents. Pony Boy says, so that only solidifies your answer to my 401k yesterday. Yeah, don't become dependent on the system. Don't give your money to them.

SPEAKER_24 1:02:47

And and and so, I mean, this is kind of up to people's conscience. And then I'm really uh feeling hopeful that for the future because there are so many people that have just not fallen into the the trap of signing up for these programs. Yeah, absolutely.

California 911 Project Spending Disaster

SPEAKER_22 1:03:04

So here's here's the next one. Okay. Govern inappropriate government spending. Right, they're getting free money that's putting stuffed into their coffers for them to spend. Legislature can write any bill, bill, bill, bill is money. I charged you a bill, right? They write a bill and it has appropriations. The legislature holds the purse strings, the government signs the check. The the executive branch signs the check. Does that make sense? The legislature writes the check, the executive branch signs the check. So in California, they had a huge deal where they wanted to create the see, it was uh they wanted to revamp the 911 system.

SPEAKER_26 1:03:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_22 1:03:44

That's reasonable, right? We want quick response times. So they wrote a bill to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a new 911 system that was supposed to be done in a in a specified period of time. Turns out it didn't get done in the amount of time. It went over budget, and then they had to scrap the program.

SPEAKER_31 1:04:01

While a new investigation found that Governor Gavin Newsom spent$450 million on a new 911 dispatch system, state officials scrapped it entirely. And now call centers are facing rolling blackouts. Chris Ruffel conducted the investigation. He joins me now. You said the whole thing was such a disaster. Okay, spell it out. Why did it fail?

SPEAKER_40 1:04:27

Well, Gavin Newsom in his first year in office promised to deliver a brand new 911 system within three years for$132 million. Uh now it's seven years later, almost$500 million has been spent. And the system that they rolled out as pilots was such a disaster. You had roving blackouts, drop calls. A whistleblower told us uh it might have left one man dead because the calls dropped when he was seeking uh help from 911. Uh, state officials made the decision to say no more. We're just scrapping the entire$500 million program. And now, Stu, uh, the system is being held together by a thread. You have call dispatch centers that are buying spare parts on eBay because the equipment is so old they don't manufacture the parts anymore. And officials in Oakland warned about a catastrophic failure in the future, in which the 911 system would go completely dark.

SPEAKER_31 1:05:20

Is anybody taking responsibility for this?

SPEAKER_40 1:05:25

Uh no, in fact, the vendors that receive these massive multimillion dollar contracts are blaming the state of California. The state of California is blaming the vendors. And so they have squabbled and fought, but there's one clear loser in this, and this is the California taxpayer, the California voter, that expects when he or she calls 911 that someone will pick up the phone, dispatch emergency services. Uh, some whistleblowers are telling me that the risk of catastrophic failure in Los Angeles is particularly high. And of course, they're expecting the Olympics to come into town. Um, and The question for Gavin Newsom is as always, will his rolling failures catch up with him? Or will he escape accountability and run for president in 2028? Only time will tell. Will he escape accountability?

SPEAKER_24 1:06:14

Well, I mean, our governor lost half a billion dollars to a Nigerian scam, so I don't know.

SPEAKER_22 1:06:20

And the government just replenished it. Yeah. You know, oh well, whatever. Nigerians make great campaign donations. Yeah. It's this is one of those things where listen, they're taking the money from you at 1%, 2%, whatever you're selling, half a percent interest rate on your savings accounts. They're loaning it to the Fed at 5%. They're then giving it to the government at a bond rate, what, 4%, 3.4% is what the Fed rate is. So they're losing on the interest payment. Right. And then the government goes out and pisses it away. And when you pay taxes, all you're paying is the interest that the Treasury has to the to the tr to the Federal Reserve, and which is taking a loss, they're just stuffing the piggy bank with funny money, your money.

SPEAKER_24 1:07:13

The taxes go to pay the debt service only.

Petrodollar Thinking And Drill Policy

SPEAKER_22 1:07:16

They steal your money through the banking system, not through the tax system. The tax is interest on your money that you gave them to lend to the government that they piss away on broken 911 systems, railroads and you know, tracks to nowhere, illegal immigrants being bought off for votes. That's what's going on. But money is power. And where do we get the bulk of our power in this world? Where does it come from? We actually refer to money and our dollar bill as the petrol dollar. Okay. Right? The petrol dollar. So one of Donald Trump's agendas, unlike every Democrat who came before, was drill, baby, drill. Not let's print money, let's drill, baby, drill, because oil is money. Oil is power. Would you not agree? It's tangible money. The Democrats, when they think of money as power, they think of buying voters to put them in power. When Donald Trump thinks of money is power, he thinks we need more oil. And we have now at this week have exported. So not only do we have our own domestic supply, we have exported more oil, power, to the rest of the world than at any other point in our history.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:30

Well, Santelli is very good at reporting what just happened. I'm there, there's so much undercurrent in what happened today. With and it gets a little wonky, but but but work with me here because this is going to affect every single war room viewer, every single American's wallet and budget. Okay, so inflation number is been a little bit elevated. It hasn't been bad. But the real number, you pointed it out, Steve, you nailed it, growth. Growth is the only it saves everything. So if you have high inflation, if you have growth, it bails you out. If you have high unemployment, you get growth, it bails out uh high unemployment. What we got was a 2% GDP number, which is amazingly resilient. I'll tell you why. 2%, man, Trump has headed at four target is 3%. 2% is damn good given the the oil price shock that we're going through right now. 70% of the GDP number is consumer spending. Stantelli alluded to the consumer spending ticking up above expectations. It's got to be stronger than that, even because 70% of it of the GDP number is the spending, and the spending is what matters, what drives the economy. 70% of our economy is consumer spending based. So GDP at 2% is wonderful, especially when you consider the United Kingdom this morning, late their afternoon this morning, came out with uh a flat growth, zero growth, almost zero growth in the GDP and high inflation. They are experiencing stagflation. We're not. They are. They have their countries mixed, I think. And and and that in that may be a reflection of the realization that Europe and Asia are at the mercy of the Strait of Hormouths and the Iranians right now. And we frankly aren't. We're actually shipping more oil out of this country than we ever have. Last week was the highest export of oil, of petroleum products, in the history of keeping records. So a lot of good things, even though it may sound bad right now, but a lot of good things happening in the economy. It's being very resilient to say the least, Steve.

SPEAKER_28 1:10:35

Let's talk about uh the prices because it kind of popped overnight. President Trump saying, Hey, I don't mind So that is a good thing.

SPEAKER_22 1:10:42

So unlike the way the previous administrations, the Rhinos and the Democrats, the communists have run things where oh, we'll just print money. Money is power. No, money is a measurement of power. That's what it is. It's not that money creates power through the electoral. I mean, yeah, that's that's a broken system and it burns itself out. Eventually, the people eat each other, both metaphorically and if you go to Venezuela, literally, okay. Money is power. And if and if you think power is the people like that, and give money to people without actual power behind it, then it ends up in self-cannibalism. Here's our stats, right? This is the world's largest oil producers. So this is based in 2024, before Trump was elected, and this is because of Trump what did in his first term. The United States produces 22% of the world's power. That's more than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. Combined, exactly. Now, United Arab Emirates sits down here at 4.5%. Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Iran, and I can't remember if Russia was a part of it. Saudi Arabia was a part of it.

SPEAKER_24 1:11:49

They were part of a coalition called Well, coincidentally, on that on that graphic, the world supply was like a hundred. And so it's easy to figure out what our percentage of the world is. It's just 22 or whatever. 22 percent. We're delivering a quarter of the world's oil supply. Wow.

SPEAKER_22 1:12:04

Yeah. Now, there's a big thing because power is money, oil is money, and the Middle East with Venezuela through what was called OPEC, right? Was controlling the over 50% of the world's oil supply. This is what was the oil. This was in the 1970s, the oil embargo. We were buying oil from the Middle East. We were not producing enough of it domestically. Okay.

SPEAKER_24 1:12:28

We had fuel lines in this country that you and I are just a little bit too young to remember.

SPEAKER_22 1:12:32

We what? Yeah, fuel lines. Yep, exactly. And that was because OPEC just decided to pump less and raise the price through the roof. So they made more profit, less resources being expended.

SPEAKER_24 1:12:44

And back then back then people were like, gas is hitting 40 cents a gallon. This is bullshit.

SPEAKER_22 1:12:52

Oh the dollar. Oh the dollar. But, anyways, these OPEC countries kind of controlled the market. As the United States has ramped up production, we've had a little bit more say in that. And we we've we've had kind of stable gas prices. I mean, we've had ups and downs, you know, Obama, Biden up, Trump down, Iran war up.

SPEAKER_24 1:13:12

Okay, but a barrel of oil has been between 50 and 100-ish bucks a barrel for a long time.

SPEAKER_22 1:13:19

A long time.

SPEAKER_24 1:13:19

Even though inflation, it's like cheaper to buy today based on you know I mean, and like today, you know, there's speculation. Well, there's less oil going through the Strait of Hormuz, so our barrels gonna go up to 140? Whoa, crazy.

OPEC Power And UAE Breaking Away

SPEAKER_22 1:13:32

See, instead of OPEC getting the benefit of that, now America's getting the benefit of that because we're now exporting. So this is a financial analysis that's being talking about OPEC and how significant it is that the UAE has left OPEC, right? They've now become independent, so they can pump as much oil as they want. They're on making their own decisions now instead of part of that coalition. Okay. Again, breaking up the cartel that has understood that power is money, oil is money, right?

SPEAKER_42 1:14:02

You know, you know, the UAE just left OPEC. What is OPEC and is it the big deal? Is it gonna impact oil?

SPEAKER_13 1:14:10

I think OPEC stands for the Organization for Petroleum Exporting Countries. I don't know. I think that's what it means. So basically it's a cartel, right? Oil produced. The oil world is an oligopoly, that means there's a few players only that have the oil, so it's like an oligopoly, and then within that oligopoly, an oligopoly is a multi like a monopoly, but with several players. Within that, OPEC is like a cartel. So what OPEC does, if you're a member of OPEC, they control production, they control pricing. They don't say, like, hey, we want prices per barrel of oil to be this much, and then what happens is oil, so each of you member countries can only produce so much because it's a supply and demand based. So the UAE leading OPEC, why? It's because they want to be a regional player, they're moving closer towards the West S, the US, meaning in their ally things that they do as a good ally of the US, they're moving towards that the cartel because they have excess production capacity, they've spent so much money on building out their infrastructure to produce more oil that they're like, hey, I don't want to be controlled, I want to be able to sell more, especially after what's happening in Iran right now. The whole global geopolitical like structure is gonna change over there. And it looks like they just want to move closer to us and and and be free of any price control so they can sell more oil, you know, and make more money basically and do because things are changing. But what the impact is is because OPEC is a cartel, as more cartel members leave, they have less control over the price. So the long-term, you know, academic view on this, logically, is if they leave, maybe more other people leave. And more people who leave means there's more supply coming into the market because there's more suppliers now not being controlled. So more oil, more supply. Oil prices could drop.

SPEAKER_22 1:16:04

Basically, that's good. Yeah, that's great. More supply, oil prices could drop. But is it good, Ron?

SPEAKER_24 1:16:12

Um, I mean, and that's hard to say. It depends on if you're selling oil or not.

SPEAKER_22 1:16:18

It's an interesting situation that you get yourself into. Producing more oil, prices of all kinds of stuff, plastics, everything will eventually come down. But as things get come cheaper, the money supply is not drying up. So it starts to be you've got money chasing nothing. Combine that with AI, you might start to see how this is going to be a problem. This is why Elon Musk goes, probably gonna be universal high income, because we're literally gonna have money to throw at you and beg you to buy things. So, on one hand, good. On the other hand, hmm, we should have some pause here. The checks and balances on government spending as oil goes up, there's more money. And then there's less money. It's kind of a check and balance thing here. So Donald Trump was asked about the current high oil prices because we've got these short election cycles, and you know, people feel pain at the pump. And who do they blame? They blame the president. And his war of choice in Iran. And Trump has held the same line. When this war in Iran is resolved, the price of oil will will plummet because we're now oversupplying. And on top of that, the money will flow here. The power won't be flowing to Iran. And what's the other thing Iran was trying to get? A nuclear weapon. That's a hundred-year deterrent plan, right? The idea that Iran could produce as much oil as they do and have a nuclear weapon and be the bad actor they have been on the world stage, unacceptable. So Trump's trying to fix a generational problem while trying to balance the equities of an election cycle problem.

SPEAKER_47 1:17:47

The average price of a gallon of gas is now$4.30 in this country. And you know what?

Iran Pressure And Oil Price Argument

SPEAKER_33 1:17:52

And we're not going to have a nuclear weapon in the hands of Iran. The gas will go down. As soon as the war's over, it'll drop like a rock. There's so much of it. It's all over the place, sitting all over the oceans of the world. And it'll be it'll go down. But what won't happen is if Iran had a nuclear weapon and used it, then the whole world is a different place.

SPEAKER_22 1:18:24

Of course it will. Of course it will go down rapidly. But here's the thing: what did he just say? Oil is not scarce. It's all over the world, especially under the oceans. Tons of pressure down there. Okay. It's not scarce. So when oil becomes not scarce and goods and services and products become not scarce, what happens to our economy in general? Um, it's gonna probably gonna slow down. Slow down, speed up, deflate, you know, there's some problems here. But there's a there's a resolution on the horizon. But here's Trump talking about Venezuela, because they were one of the members of OPEC, and we spent, you know, a pretty decent amount of money to go get Maduro and do everything we did down there, but now that's resolved. In fact, Trump even says Venezuela has already paid off the operation to arrest Maduro because now we are basically in control of their oil supply. Uh-huh. To the Victor, go the spoils.

SPEAKER_33 1:19:19

Venezuela. And where we're doing great, we're getting along with them, great. We're working very closely with them here. They're uh they're doing more oil now than they've done in many, many decades, actually. And they're making more money. Like it's like a joint venture to be honest. And we paid for the attack many times, no attack. Something you've never heard before, probably. I was just saying the victory belongs to spoil. But we paid for the attack, which is always expensive. But it was uh less than one day attack, which is actually a 45-minute attack, and that's a good you know, they have a good military in Venezuela, but this they did not expect that and that that and that's pointing at some channels.

SPEAKER_22 1:20:07

Yeah, so Venezuela is now kind of under our wing. UAA is now a free agent, which probably means under our wing. We just did a credit line swap with them. Essentially, we stuffed their treasury full of cash. Kind of interesting.

SPEAKER_24 1:20:22

So when they sell oil, are they gonna sell it on petrodollar?

SPEAKER_22 1:20:25

Yeah, that was that was the point of what we did. They we pumped their treasury full of cash. Bonus. Bonus. Exactly. So here's Kevin Hassent on Fox Business talking about how Iran is really on the brink here. But again, this all has to do with oil. Well, oil is power.

SPEAKER_38 1:20:42

If you look at the situation in Iran, the Iranian economy is completely on the ropes. Uh, they're having a hyperinflation, they're running out of food. Uh, a huge amount of the feed that goes into their animals is imported through the Gulf and having trouble getting through. And so there's an enormous amount of pressure for Iran to open up. And when they do, as you saw, that the uh President Trump really broke OPAC uh because the UAE has left OPEC and they have a massive amount of excess capacity. So as soon as we get the strait open, that oil is going to flow like you've never seen before. So I so I think that futures markets expect prices to go down a lot, but I think that they're underestimating the effect of increased supply once the strait is open.

SPEAKER_22 1:21:21

Yeah, and so are we. When you have free power, you also have free money. See, this is what China was taking advantage of. They were getting cheap undermarket value power, oil, from Iran. And now we've cut that off. So China's gonna have to pay full market price for their power, which means the power they get by paying off their people as a communist country, centralized economy and everything, is going to be more expensive. Meanwhile, we'll be on the receiving end of that. Here's some more information about China's or Iran's economy and how it is really on the brink. This is pushing the Ayatollahs and the IRGC to the limit, right? I mean, their cash flow supply has been cut off, aka their power.

SPEAKER_37 1:22:07

Just look at the cost for Iran so far for this war. Uh, through the Strait of Hormuz, during peacetime, more than 80% of all their commerce, including their oil and their food and their water, went through the Strait of Hormuz. Seaborne trade, 90% of it's now been halted. All right, daily economic losses, almost 450 million a day. In addition, you got inflation of 67% year over year, and the US dollar is just crushing the Iranian currency at the moment.

SPEAKER_22 1:22:40

Yeah, 1.8 million rails to one dollar. That's bad. You know, I have a$50 million treasury note from Zimbabwe.$50 million. On top of that, Trump's not done. Drill baby drill, right? He just signed a essentially Keystone XL Pipeline 2.0 authorization allowing another pipeline to be built.

SPEAKER_33 1:23:07

Associated with this, and then we'll talk about this with the press you'll ask some questions of the Congress people, okay? Because they were really responsible for this. All right. Yes. Who would like to hold it?

SPEAKER_27 1:23:25

Okay, let's go. This is a presidential permit authorized render pipeline, sir. This is a trans border pipeline, similar to the old Keystone XL pipeline, will significantly expand our ability to move oil uh around around oil and gas, around North America. It's a huge deal in terms of long-term energy dominance and energy security.

SPEAKER_33 1:23:45

Slightly different than the last administration. By the way, they're way underground.

SPEAKER_22 1:23:56

Okay. Why does this matter? The Democrats wanted to get their power, money, from you. They wanted you to put your money in the bank, they wanted to take it, loan it back to themselves, and then pay off a different constituency to continue to dilute your power as a voter. Got it? Trump is like, no, I don't want your money, your stored energy, via savings. What I want is I want the source of power, which is energy, oil. Do you see the difference here?

SPEAKER_24 1:24:27

I see it. Yes. He's trying to help raise the entire nation.

SPEAKER_22 1:24:31

Yes. And what has this done? Right. His his pro energy, pro-business policies. There was a huge number that came out yesterday. Unemployment claims, right? There's always some level of unemployment, and they expected 250,000 people to be on this this month's unemployment claim, you know, new unemployment claims. Uh-huh. Huge reduction.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:51

And that came in again better than expected. 189,000 initial jobless claims added this week. The expectation was 215,000. So this is basically showing fewer people are filing for unemployment. That's a bright that's a big deal.

SPEAKER_22 1:25:06

Yeah. Right. And why is that? Well, it's because manufacturing's on the rise. We've got our own power supply. So what's that what's that mean? They need less of our capital to go to the central bank to be lent back out to the government. And so it stays in the bank and it's available for small business owners and stuff like that to use, not necessarily in the way of loans, but simply in the way of savings, right?

SPEAKER_24 1:25:30

But you know, uh, it seems to remind me uh cheap oil back after World War II. Didn't that do something for our country?

SPEAKER_22 1:25:37

Yeah, it did. It was like a really incredible economic boom. MAGA. Make America great again. It's interesting to me when Trump says MAGA, a lot of people assumed we're going to go back to the 1950s. And he really was always alluding to the Gilded Age, which is which was when oil was discovered in America, and we had a essentially a worldwide monopoly on it for quite a few years. And in the in the 1950s, we were on the Bretton Wood standard, and essentially that meant we had the free printed money taken from American savings. Gold and silver was consecrated confiscated in 33. Post-World War Europe, we we basically took the gold out of the bank in London and gave them dollars in exchange so they could buy oil and that made us rich, and then we had our own supply. That's what was going on there. That's not what we want to repeat because that ends in what we're experiencing today, if not worse. Man, the sun always comes up and it just totally flushes out the room.

SPEAKER_24 1:26:34

Yes, those whole walls just washing you out.

SPEAKER_22 1:26:36

Yeah, washing me out. Okay, so why is unemployment down? Because manufacturing and things like that are up. And we're just at the tip of it.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:44

I think when we look at the data and look uh when you put it to the kind of short-term disruptions you're seeing in the energy markets, we're saying that the American economy remains in a very solid trajectory and we're focused on continuing to implement President Trump's pro-growth agenda. I think the fact that yesterday we saw uh new orders of core capital goods, which are the you know the industrial machinery, the things you need to make the manufacturing uh facilities and factories, that those orders actually exceeded expectations over six fold. They grew by around 3.3% compared to 0.5% growth expectations. And so we're very confident that our agenda continues to pay off to grow the economy, to grow manufacture, to secure these trillions of dollars investments. And that's where we remain focused on here at the White House, along with delivering uh beating on goalie for the American people.

SPEAKER_22 1:27:26

I think so. The economy growth is driven by what they call atoms, the real production of goods, not bits, which is electronic money, right? Like fake money, just go into the computer, Federal Reserve, and transfer money, make money, right? Take it from the people, take it off that balance sheet, put it on this balance sheet, loan it back to that balance sheet. That's bits. Okay, it's ethereal, truly ethereal. There's nothing tied to it. But Trump's economy is based off real goods, atoms being produced, oil, atoms being taken out. The ground and turned into energy, which then extends forward into the economy. The other net result of this, because Americ less and more Americans are working.

SPEAKER_21 1:28:08

Let's get into the personal income and spending numbers. Income up six tenths, double expectations, and that would be the best level since the summer of 25 July, to be specific. If we look at the spending side, equal to expectations, up nine tenths. Pretty robust. Last month, a little bit more robust from up half a percent to up six tenths. How does up nine tenths compare? Well, you'd have to go to the last quarter of 24 when it was up one percent. And we are a consumption economy. That is pretty good news.

SPEAKER_22 1:28:42

That is really good news. Wages are up, spending's up. That's good. People are buying things. And here's how it looks when we talk about inflation. This is a Fox News piece about affordability Biden versus Trump.

SPEAKER_35 1:28:56

They look at overall inflation for the first year of Trump versus Biden. Uh Biden, overall inflation was up 4.3%, higher than Trump, just up 1.6%. Groceries under Biden in that time, up 3.8%. With Trump, up 1.3%. And then when it comes to gas, this is crazy. Biden up 24.4%. With Trump, it is actually down 5.4%. That is where the biggest difference is. And we heard from the HUD secretary, Scott Turner this afternoon, they are racing to cut red tape for construction projects because the belief among officials here is that if housing is the number one place where people are getting killed when it comes to affordability, if people are uh cutting red tape and able to build more houses and apartments, then the prices will come down. Pretty basic supply and demand in play.

Inflation Charts And Affordability Debate

SPEAKER_22 1:29:50

Pretty basic supply and demand in play. Trump focuses on atoms, real world production, manufacturing, and things. Biden focused on fiat, fake bits, digital. So they printed money to accomplish what they wanted to accomplish. Trump's buying voters by giving them jobs to make things. Biden bought voters by literally giving them your savings, transferring it to them, right? Totally different mentality. Now, I would submit this. The system is totally broken. So, regardless of all the stuff that I just presented to you, the system is totally broken. You mentioned the post-World War II economy and how good that was for us, right? That we were still on a gold standard. So this chart right here is the national debt as compared to the value of gold. What is gold? Atoms. It's atoms, and it takes a lot of energy to get gold. I mean, it it is not a sweat-free environment to go mine gold. Okay, like you work hard for it. There's a lot of excess energy being stored in that gold.

SPEAKER_24 1:30:50

You know, there's a lot of people that go out there and they're um they they look for gold even today. And I follow a guy that is a pretty uh good miner type dude, and he finds gold, but damn, what he has to go through. What he works for, yeah.

Debt Versus Gold And Real Value

SPEAKER_22 1:31:07

So here's this, right? You got World War II, which we saw the the national debt rise. We printed money to go fight the Nazis and fight the Imperial Japanese. But then after that, we became the world's central bank, the world's reserve economy. And you saw the price of the dollar as compared to gold dip very, very low, right? So this is the good era where we took all that extra money and we made atoms, we built things, cities. You look at skylines around America, a lot of them originated. I mean, when when was the uh space needle built? Like 1970s, 63. 63, okay, 1963, right here. Yeah, it was the world's fair. Yeah, and so all over all over America, almost every skyline you go look at was majorly impacted during this period of time. But then OPEC decided to do its thing, right? They started they decided to take the power for themselves by by controlling oil. Well, they were trying to stop that free fall on that chart. Yep. So this right here is national debt when compared to GDP. Look at where we're at on a huge trajectory. And how does this impact things? When you're talking about your retirement savings, you can't save really gold. I mean, we should have. If you invested in the market, look at this. This is the SP. If you go back to 1950, this is the SP compared to gold prices. So if you'd have bought gold then versus buy SP, does that make sense? Stock market. So if you buy an SP fund that is like whatever SP invests in all the stocks and they're supposed to do their thing, look at where we're at today. Gold as compared to the SP is more valuable than the SP, which means that real atom that you would have invested in would have been way better than that ethereal money thing that you're investing in. So, oh, stock markets are reaching all-time highs. So what? Now there's a change on things that's happening. And I want to show this to you. This is this is very, very powerful because we have an opportunity as a species right now, and especially as a nation and as a people to change how money operates. As of right now, there's nowhere in the world you can go where you have real money. Right? Every country is using fiat, every country has central banks. Socialism is universal. We read this in the political remodel document, right? The entire world is running on this fake money system, and power goes to whoever can drill the oil. But you and I, we interact with that excess energy through the dollar, or through your pound, or through your euro, or through your real or hay all, right? What your one, but all of that is completely fake. Bitcoin changes this, it reconnects money to work, it reconnects money to power.

SPEAKER_32 1:34:02

For most of human history, money began with work, with heat, with energy. We dug metal from the ground, melted it with fire, hammered it into something we could trust, because it costs something to create. Value was tied to effort, to sweat, to reality. Then we broke the link. Paper replaced metal, keystrokes replaced paper, and money drifted free from the energy that once gave it truth. When money costs nothing to make, it becomes nothing at all. But something new emerged, or something ancient returned. Bitcoin reconnects money to the physical world, not through metal, but through pure computation. Electricity becomes work. Work becomes security. Security becomes value. Any what, anywhere on earth, stranded hydro, desert solar, forgotten geothermal can be turned directly into money. No printing, no permission, no illusion. Just energy crystallized into something incorrupted. Bitcoin is value anchored to reality. Energy made pure.

SPEAKER_22 1:35:45

Okay. So Bitcoin returns money to have a real connection to energy. Unlike now, yes, petrodollar. The problem is we can print as many dollars to chase it as you want, totally disconnected from reality. You can print as much money as you want to buy voters, totally disconnected from jobs, manufacturing, quality of life, health and human services, all of it. Totally disconnected. In a system of fake money, you become a useless eater. And it's gonna get worse. It's gonna get worse if we don't change. And we the people are the only thing that can change the system. Trump is just a guy. He's a guy who understands this. He understands the real value of power and where it comes from. And he just appointed a Fed chairman who's going to get confirmed very, very shortly. This is Kevin Walsh, our new Fed chairman that's going to replace Jay Powell at the central bank, the Federal Reserve, and listen to him talk about money and its impact on government. You guys, you have to be prepared for this. As peasants, to understand macroeconomics and how it affects your microeconomics, your kitchen table budget, you can't win in a system that's designed to defeat you. You can't win in a system that's designed to take your power and connection to work away by making government unaccountable to how that money is created and spent. You can't win. You can be creative, you can maybe stay a little bit ahead. You can maybe, you know, be a haveer and not a taker. But at the end of the day, we all lose. And how do we know? Because they chase us around with needles to try to harm us and didn't care. How do we know? Because they came after our religion and faith. Because that religion and faith, American nationalism and Christianity, stands up to the collective. Does that make sense? In a system like that, you can't win. So when Kevin Warshir is being asked about Bitcoin and its connection to real work, he says something that should make your hair stand up.

Bitcoin As Energy Anchored Money

SPEAKER_14 1:37:54

Um, you made reference to Bitcoin, and I thought I heard a little bit of condescension that people are buying Bitcoin and these things.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:02

But doesn't it right? Charlie Munger, this is a two or three years before he died. Charlie Munger attacked Bitcoin. He called it evil in part because it would begin to undermine the Fed's ability to manage the economy.

SPEAKER_24 1:38:15

Oh, Mom, no.

SPEAKER_22 1:38:17

You mean to take your savings and give it back to the government at a lower interest rate so they could blow it on fake 911 centers and illegal immigrants? That's why he opposed Bitcoin. It competes with the dollar. Oh, heaven forbid. Now you're going to hear it at our next Fed chairman.

SPEAKER_14 1:38:34

Or it could provide market discipline. Or it could tell the world that things need to be fixed. Bitcoin does not make you nervous. Uh Bitcoin does not make me nervous. I can hearken back to a uh a dinner I had here in 2011 with a someone who is another guest on your show. I won't say his name. Um, I just did Mark Andriessen, who showed me the white paper. That was the original white paper. I wish I had understood as clearly as he did how transformative Bitcoin and this new technology would be. Uh, Bitcoin doesn't trouble me. I think of it as an important asset that can help inform policymakers when they're doing things right and wrong. Um, it is not a substitute to the dollar.

Kevin Warsh On Bitcoin Signals

SPEAKER_22 1:39:21

I think it can help inform policymakers when they're doing things right or wrong. Wow. Just like gold used to do. But gold is useless in a modern information internet economy. Useless. Because it requires trust of who? The bank, who's going to take your gold and they're going to give it to the Fed. The Fed's going to give it to the government, and they're just going to rob you blind and make you pay interest on it.

SPEAKER_14 1:39:45

This, this is the point.

SPEAKER_22 1:39:52

Oh, oh, so we don't have to use bullets anymore.

SPEAKER_14 1:39:55

If I were to speak more broadly to what did Charlie Munger and others perhaps have have in mind, um, there is a proliferation of securities that go under all sorts of names. Many, if not most of them, are not worth what they're might be being traded for.

SPEAKER_22 1:40:13

The Dow, the NASDAQ, every freaking stalker bond, pony boy, dump the 401k. That's what he's telling you. This is your new Fed chairman. Oh, how Donald Trump plays 5D chess, doesn't he?

SPEAKER_14 1:40:28

So, what did uh Charlie say, and maybe his pal Warren say? There's the innovators, the imitators, and the incompetents. They're real innovators that are happening in and around that new technology. And what I would try to impart towards um businesses and bankers is that the underlying technology that Mark showed me in that white paper or tried to show me in that white paper, it's just software. It's just the newest, coolest software that will provide us an ability to do things that we could never have done before. Can the software be used for good and evil? Yes, both, like all software. So I don't cast aspersions like that. If there's a final point, it's these technologies are being built here. I don't just mean on Stanford campus. I believe in the United States and the world's most talented engineers from China and Europe and everywhere, they come to the United States even now to try to build this stuff. And my view is by building it here, that gives us an opportunity to be more productive and create something very special over the next decade.

AI Job Shock And Saving In Assets

SPEAKER_22 1:41:35

So oil, oil is power, literally. That's where we get our power. It's control it's how we generate energy, fire. And the way traditionally we've stored excess energy was in gold, something that was hard to get, that required excess energy and work to get. That world's gone. That world cannot exist where you have peer-to-peer transactions that require trust because we're not face-to-face. I can't hand you the gold coin. So all of a sudden, we require an intermediary, a bank. And then the bank gets controlled by the government, and that's where we're at. A disconnection from power to money, to where politicians wield money as a tool for their power, which is voters, buying off constituencies, acquiring things that you can't afford to require with money that they're created out of nothing, because they control the disconnect between atoms, digital money, fake money, because everything now is mostly computerized or printed and work. They control that bridge and we trust them. But we shouldn't. If there's one thing the show should tell you, you cannot trust these people. Here's Michael Saylor talking about the future of not only AI and robotics, but money. And how we, if we don't fix the money, we will become useless. We'll just become a bunch of NPCs. Not just NPCs, useless eaters. Right. Non-productive members of society.

SPEAKER_18 1:43:08

There's going to be an explosion in prosperity because a billion robots will do all the work. So you got 10 years to stake your claim in that world. The currency supply measured in dollars is continuing to expand, probably expanding 7% a year. It's been expanding about 7% a year for 100 years. People that don't own assets are suffering from that monetary debasement without realizing it. Human capital is going to demonetize. So what is scarce desirable property? Well, Bitcoin simply represents uh the highest form of capital that the human race has yet to discover. White collar bots are here right now. Make sure that you know you're not in the critical path of what the AIs can automate.

SPEAKER_22 1:43:53

There's gonna if you have a white-collar job and very soon blue-collar jobs, factory workers will be put out of work by robotics, which means you've got to figure out a way to store your value, to store your energy and use it without the ability to save money because you're saving in dollars, which they can create, as a lot of Bitcoiners say. Never work for something someone else can print. Right? We're gonna be on the downside. Here's Jay Jacobs. He's BlackRock's U.S. head of equities, equity ETFs. BlackRock's one of the largest corporations on the planet, and they own a little bit of everything. Okay. They invest in these businesses, but they invest in it through the funny money, the securities. And if you go study that, you realize these guys are on the receiving end a lot of that free money, okay, that's disconnected from power. But BlackRock knows the world we're moving into. They know what businesses are doing, they know how businesses are going to replace their labor forces. And so BlackRock has become huge into Bitcoin. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, they're the largest holder of Bitcoin in the world, which for many of us is like, oh my gosh, it doesn't matter. Remember what Kevin Warsh said? Bitcoin holds them accountable, it gives them the signals because when they spend real value, not fake printed money that has no value to them, like there was no hard effort put into that money. Do you see what I'm saying? But Bitcoin has hard effort. That is that is directly tied to energy, oil. It's directly tied to hydroelectric work.

SPEAKER_24 1:45:25

So what you're saying is when they make a business decision with Bitcoin, they're serious about it.

SPEAKER_22 1:45:29

Yes, because there's a cost to get it.

SPEAKER_24 1:45:33

Right.

SPEAKER_22 1:45:33

Just like the Gilded Age was led because there was an a time preference to gold. I'm not gonna buy crap today. I want to invest in things that are quality and produce real atoms, real things. And that's what gave us the gilded age in America. As soon as we came off the gilded age, we've seen nothing but a downturn. And that little period, like you said, in the 1950s, that was because we were still on a gold standard and we took the world's gold and gave it back to ourselves. Right.

SPEAKER_24 1:46:05

And since then it's been a slow or fast erosion. Yes.

SPEAKER_47 1:46:09

Somebody who is Bitcoin curious comes out and says to you, Jay, what is the value? One minute in October, it's 126,000. Today it's 76,000.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:19

You have to look at it in the context of a broader portfolio. We can't put a specific price target on it on a given moment. It really has to do with how much do people need this asset that can behave uniquely, that can be a geopolitical hedge. That's constantly changing around the world. When you see uh, you know, more currency debasement, when you see rising government debts, when you see that more people want to move assets across borders, that's gonna increase the value of something like Bitcoin. And so in this world, we see that as a structural trend that's growing. But minute by minute, that demand and supply is gonna change.

BlackRock And Portfolio View Of Bitcoin

Get Off Zero And Use River

SPEAKER_22 1:46:50

It doesn't matter how much Bitcoin you have. The objective right now is to get off zero. Give your dollars today, which are a melting ice cube in your bank account or in your pocket, give it a way to store itself at today's value. The day you earned it, get off zero. Get a pathway between you and Bitcoin. Now there is an opportunity that we have right now. Our grandchildren will not have the upside of Bitcoin, right? The 49er gold rush in California, a broke guy could walk out to a river in California, pick up a couple nuggets, and hot dogs off to the brothel. Can't do that anymore. You can't do that anymore. There will be a time where Bitcoin becomes ubiquitous, right? Right. But because it's scarce, it cannot be increased, because the it's money in the form of information. Your wallet is the keys, it's the passwords that you can memorize. And they can't take what's in your brain. That's why it's uncensorable by anybody. You keep those keys in your head, those passwords in your head, and you're the walking Swiss bank account. Now, for those of us that are going to have to live through the AI transition and the robotics transition, you want to get the upside because all that power will be measured in Bitcoin. That's all Bitcoin is a measurement of power, measurement of energy. You want to get the upside. Just because Bitcoin started out at a dollar or whatever it was, and you missed the opportunity to go from a dollar to 80,000 doesn't mean you've missed out at all. Doesn't mean you've missed out at all. Ron, go ahead and put the river chat in the links. And for those of you listening after the fact, there's a river link in the show description. You can go down there. That's my referral code. You can open a river account, it takes a few minutes. They're a Bitcoin custodian. This will help you get off zero. You can go to 1776live.us. We're going to be offering a Bitcoin class on all the complexities of how to take self-custody, how to use multi-signatory wallets, especially if you're holding family money and things like that. So all the details, how to run a node, all the technology side, you can learn it. But create a pathway between your energy today that you get paid in dollars into Bitcoin so you can store it, because otherwise, governments will continue to print it. And because Bitcoin exists, there will become a moment where every nation in the earth will flip their printers on full steam ahead to try to buy Bitcoin now while their dollars still have value. That is going to happen. This is Jack Maulers, the uh I think he's the CEO of Coinbase. It might be Stripe, I can't remember. But he's talking about the continued upside. Even though right now we're trading at about$77,000 of Bitcoin. Remember, you can take one dollar and buy Bitcoin. Just like a dollar bill, you can buy cents. There's a hundred pennies in a dollar. For every Bitcoin, there's a million Satoshis. One Bitcoin is a million Satoshis. Just get off zero. Okay. So this is Jack Mahler's talking about the upside. For those of us peasants that are going to live through the AI robotics transformation, you want to have something in here. You want to store the value you create today. Before they melt it away or print it away tomorrow.

SPEAKER_15 1:50:03

Humans own about$900 trillion worth of stuff right now. That's currency, real estate, art, collectibles, precious metals like gold, right?$900 trillion worth of stuff. It's estimated that about half of that is monetized, meaning they own the stuff, they own the house, they own the art, they own the precious metal, not to consume it, not to live in the house, not to look at the art and be like, oh, I love this art, but because they're trying to store wealth, they're trying to preserve value, they're trying to sell it later. So that means the market opportunity to store wealth, store value, persist value you create for the world today and bring it to tomorrow is about four to five hundred trillion dollars. And that is where product market fit in extreme demand is from Larry Fink, from the bond market, from the treasury market, from retail consumers, from those living paycheck to paycheck. That's the product market we see in strike. And the payment stuff, I would say less so. I would say less so. So when people say, you know, can Bitcoin go higher than$100K? Well, the way I think about it is right now Bitcoin's about one and a half trillion dollar in market cap. It's going after a$400 to$500 trillion opportunity. And that's in purchasing power terms. So in dollar terms, that'll go up as the currency weakens. So I think Bitcoin still has a$400 to$500X left in it, and we see that as a company. We onboard institutions, businesses, retail. We support all you we support the dollar, the pound, the euro. So we see the same demand globally, the same growth prospects globally, and that's where the product market fit is for us. I think Bitcoin's gonna grow to hundreds of trillions of dollars in market cap, and there's gonna be a lot of opportunity um for all of us to share in that.

SPEAKER_24 1:51:44

That was the math that I was doing, and I was like, whoa, Bitcoin is way undervalued.

Wrap Up And Jump To Private

SPEAKER_22 1:51:50

Yes, it's bargain basement prices right now. Bargain basement prices. You can earn that extra dollar today, right? Every day, assuming you're not going deeper into debt, assuming you're at a breakeven level, you know, there's something left over. But because value money's not valuable, you go get the extra latte. You buy the extra trinket because I'd rather buy a CD than watch my dollar float away. At least the CD has got some retained value, right? I mean, that's the comparison. Whether you think you do this or not, you do this. I'd rather have the pleasure today because tomorrow I won't even be able to afford this thing. Bitcoin changes your brain. All of a sudden, if you can make a thousand dollars and spend nine hundred and ninety-eight, that two dollars of extra money is your savings. If you put it into Bitcoin in 10 years when you need it, when you want to stop working, or robot robots come for your job, it could be worth$400. See what I'm saying? It just a couple Satoshis could make all the difference. Get off zero. Create a path between you and Bitcoin so that you can save in Bitcoin. I don't have to encourage everybody to go into a Bitcoin standard and all the complexities and the market variability day to day. You know, there's a good possibility the dollar gets strong and Bitcoin becomes, you know, uh more exp, I don't know, more expensive, less expensive. I don't know. But long term, guys, the fiat system is broken. I hope today's episode helps you see that. You've got politicians who have printed money to get their power, which is fake voters and ballots. But you have politicians who want to reconnect money to power oil. And in the end, the transition with Kevin Walsh at the Fed, with the way Trump and his family and everybody's doing Bitcoin, this is the future. It's the only thing that will hold government and policymakers accountable. And it holds you accountable. So get in on it. All right, guys, that's it for the show today. Don't forget to go to river.com, use our our link. Please do that. Okay, we've provided this incredible amount of value. You go put a couple bucks in there and we get a tiny little referral. You won't even, in fact, I don't think it even comes from you. I don't right now. Yeah. So, but do that. Create the pathway between you and real money, which right now is Bitcoin. As Kevin Walsh himself said, for everyone under 40, Bitcoin is the new gold. If you've got 10 years of life left, you could see that 100x multiplier. You got 20, 30 years of life left, you could see that 400x multiplier because the entire world's monetary system will dump into Bitcoin. It has to. It has to. If we want to preserve liberty and freedom and that spark of independence lives in us, then Bitcoin is reconnecting our value, your work, the things you do, back to money. Because when that link was severed, we've been on a trajectory and it's not going to change. All right, guys, we are going to jump over into private. It's the first of the month. We got to start doing some private streaming, and we are going to see a real life Bigfoot. This is a conspiracy show. So we'll talk to you guys again tomorrow. Those of you that are going to stick around, this is going to be fascinating for you. Do you believe in Bigfoot? You might after this next video.

SPEAKER_24 1:55:08

All right.

SPEAKER_22 1:55:08

All right. We'll talk to you guys in just a second.

SPEAKER_24 1:55:11

All right. There we go. Oh, yeah.

Bigfoot Freezer Specimen Clip

SPEAKER_22 1:55:14

Okay. All right. So here we are. This is Bigfoot. So this video popped up for me. So we'll we'll play the beginning of this and then I'll jump to the end. It's fascinating.

SPEAKER_41 1:55:24

My father acquired the Bigfoot September 23rd, 1953. And when they acquired them, they were so immense that they had no other choice with most of them to dissect them, cut them up so that they could get them out of the swamp. Now, this one in particular isn't that big, but it is still a very large creature. Now it's desiccated because it's been in a freezer for 65 years, give or take. But one thing in particular about this Bigfoot here is it has one of its legs, its foot above the ankle, removed, and we have that in the bag. Now it's very, very interesting because you can see the feet, they stay, and this is true with the other ones that are younger. The feet stay smaller, and we believe that that's so that they blend in, look more human-like. Once they reach a certain age, which this one has not, they get a lot of girth and the feet get much, much bigger. Now, this this animal, if it was standing up, would be over six feet tall, but its feet are the size of like a human's if they were like size nine, something like that, and that's true of like an infant Sasquatch too. It's sort of like a normal-looking foot, but it's still a very large creature. It's it's immense. Something else that's very interesting about this creature, you can see that it is a male. It's clearly a male. Now we have both male and female of this now, those are the size of beach balls.

SPEAKER_22 1:57:09

When I was in middle school, I was taking a speech class and I did my I did a speech on the Patterson film, right? The film, the famous California film with the Bigfoot walking across the the yeah, which people have said is fake. I mean, there's been all kinds of analysis. But one of the things in that film is I put it on a black and white transparency and I showed how in the background there's another Bigfoot hiding small Bigfoot that a lot of people miss. It's kind of behind a log and you can see it. So that one Bigfoot was walking and openly like that as a distraction from the young children Bigfoot that were being hidden by another adult kind of over in the background. But you can only really see that on a black and white transparency because then you could see the outline. Anyways, that was my that was like Bigfoot's real. Now I've heard all kinds of things. Oh, it was faked, and we put on a suit, and then I've heard the same the same people being like never denied it, you know. So who knows? I'm sure there's a ton of fake Bigfoot stuff. But this right here, he has a real specimen, right? I mean, you're staring at it. I mean, yeah, is it a prop? I mean, now he goes on to say some things, and he's gonna show some things here that kind of make you go, huh?

SPEAKER_41 1:58:15

Species, we have we have many specimens to look at. But it it's interesting because the feet are still relatively small, like a human's, yet it appears to be a adult, yet it's not. So they mature quicker. We believe that that's so that they can breed at an early age, because they're you know, they're there's encroachment upon their territory. It is a rare, rare creature. Now I want to bring you around the around the back side so that you can see the gluteus maximus, which is just incredible. You can see the great power in these animals, the muscle structure, the legs, the torso is much longer than like a human's. This is nonsense that it's a human type, it's non-human. This is a non-human animal. It's not built like it's covered in fur. This is not a human. I'm gonna show you the muscles. The muscles on the gluteus maximus are immense. You can clearly see it's a male. And as we go around to the back side, there's the foot that batches up perfectly, definitely came from this animal. It's been frozen with this animal for many years. You can see the toenail there. See the foot. That's where the other foot was.

SPEAKER_22 1:59:37

So when I look at this, I mean, obviously, you're seeing a frozen creature, but this reminds me of like working. My first job was in a meat shop and seeing the frozen animals and stuff like that, the bone cuts. Like to me, that looks pretty authentic. It's not fresh, but I'm like, that it doesn't look like a prop to me. It does look like a bone sod. Yeah, it looks like a bone sod. You can see the saw marks, yeah, the marrow and everything. So, I mean, it looks pretty authentic. Moved.

SPEAKER_41 2:00:00

It's been uh frozen, it's all desiccated. You can see the gluteus maximus here is absolutely gorgeous.

SPEAKER_22 2:00:07

Now, clearly, this guy's got a thing for butts.

SPEAKER_41 2:00:10

Look at that. What a glorious, you know. Wow, wow, look at that. That's like out of a Japanese cartoon. You know what I'm saying? That is that is a massive, massive creature. They can they can haul ass, they can run 45 miles an hour uphill because of those massive legs, but the legs are short. Now you can see the the face, they always seem to look similar, and they always sort of like have that grin. I'm not really sure why they're grinning like that, but um I know my father said that they were terrified. They were protecting themselves. The males and females both have facial hair like this. Um I can't say I can't say uh enough about this creature. It's a it's a such an they're so interesting. It's uh it's a beautiful creature, but it is non-human. These are non-human creatures. They look nothing like a human. Uh many of them are in some are in better sh this one isn't in too bad a shape. Uh some are in better shape. Like I said, they've all remained frozen, and uh, I have to get this one back in the freezer soon. There is a lot of conjecture on the internet about these creatures. And these specimens in particular, and I can uh state factually that the DNA has been checked. We've we've checked the DNA, but it comes back of an unknown origin, comes back corrupted.

SPEAKER_22 2:01:54

These we so that is something interesting. There's a University of Washington professor that collects Bigfoot artifacts, prints, hair samples, and they've done a ton of DNA testing. And sometimes it comes back bear, wolf, dog, sheep, you know, stuff like that. But they do have a huge amount of samples. I mean, we're not talking five, we're talking tons of samples that the labs will not buy into it. Unknown origin, don't know what it is, degraded, whatever. So that is the thing. It's like we don't have a confirmed Bigfoot sample, although you're staring at a Bigfoot here.

SPEAKER_24 2:02:29

This is not an AI video. Well, maybe they just don't know what sample they're supposed to be comparing to. So that's it. How can you confirm it if you don't have a known sample?

SPEAKER_22 2:02:38

Exactly. So for someone who's like, you know, I don't want to believe my lying eyes, it's like, well, we can't confirm it's a bigfoot. Well, of course you can't. Of course you can't confirm it's a bigfoot. You don't have a bigfoot to confirm. But when something comes back, unknown origin, I mean, at this point they've mapped the genome, and we've probably taken DNA samples from pretty much every animal on earth. You know what I mean? That comes back and they're just like, don't know. Maybe we should just do some Jurassic Park. Yeah, seriously. Just why not? Let's crisper this bad boy. Let's do it. Okay. I mean, we brought back the dire wolf. We're bringing back a mammoth. Why can't we bring back a Bigfoot? Right. So he presents a kind of sci-fi possibility on what these Bigfoots are.

SPEAKER_41 2:03:17

I do not know where these creatures are from. My suspicions are that what they are is a biological recording device for the Grays.

SPEAKER_21 2:03:25

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_22 2:03:26

Now we're into the UFOs. A biological recording device for the Grays. That's interesting. Okay. Right. So maybe the Pentagon will release some information about Bigfoot. We'll see.

SPEAKER_41 2:03:37

And that is why we do not find the dead bodies. You would, you know, if the creature's going to die in the woods, you find a skeleton. We don't find skeletons of these creatures ever.

SPEAKER_22 2:03:50

That's actually not true. I remember watching a Bigfoot series, and there was a guy in Montana whose dog was bringing back legs. Like legs with the joint and the foot and arms with hand, like hands, and they were like, dude, what is this? And of course, DNA testing, unknown origin. So they're out there. You know, this dog brought it back from who knows where, brought back multiple body parts.

SPEAKER_24 2:04:14

If this is like a recording advice for the Grays, is does that mean that this sample is even more impressive and harder to obtain than an actual UFO?

SPEAKER_22 2:04:26

It sounds like UFOs are more common. That's what I'm saying. Based on the number of recordings, and that's what I'm saying, yeah.

SPEAKER_41 2:04:33

Do exist, they clearly exist. That is my belief, and I have other reasons for believing this. This creature died in this position, which is interesting, because it sort of looks like I could probably it's frozen, and we gotta get it back in the freezer because it's it's warm out today. But you could almost stand the creature up, and I'm not really sure if that's just how my father froze it, like a frozen position like this. Because you can, you can stand it up in the freezer. I I don't know. There's a lot of questions about this one in particular. Like, why is the one leg cut off? I don't know. My father was in maybe he cut it off and then sent it out for you know, to have somebody look at. My father was talking to John DuPont years ago. Maybe it has something to do with with maybe it has something to do with talking with John DuPont, who my father said was a lunatic. So maybe they took this foot off, you know, after the fact. I don't know. I really don't know. There's a lot of questions about this specimen in particular, but it's a great specimen. Please subscribe to my channel. I have much more on Bigfoot coming up.

SPEAKER_22 2:05:54

Peter Kane.

SPEAKER_24 2:05:55

All right.

SPEAKER_22 2:05:56

So there you go. It made me a believer watching that. I don't know.

Family Stories And Final Announcements

SPEAKER_24 2:05:59

What do you think? He said something important there, you know. He wished he could talk to his dad about some things that he he had some questions that he'd like to ask. And, you know, I've had similar thoughts about my relatives too. You know, I wish they were back here so I could ask them some questions. So if you've got relatives that are getting old, you should talk to them.

SPEAKER_22 2:06:15

You should talk to them, especially if they've got a bigfoot in the freezer.

SPEAKER_24 2:06:18

Yeah, and and I guarantee you they have some really good stories that you've never heard. Just hit them up.

SPEAKER_22 2:06:23

Yeah, hit them up for sure. Otherwise, you're just gonna end up with the frozen cat in the freezer.

SPEAKER_24 2:06:27

You're not you're not gonna know why the legs are cut off.

SPEAKER_22 2:06:31

Yeah. So that's really interesting, right? Now I'm curious, you know. Maybe he was getting ready to make dinner. Yeah, I gotta trim off a little of the backstrap. It's gluteus maximus, Japanese cartoon. Clearly, he's in the buttons. But anyway, it's pretty funny stuff. So just a couple giggles here in private, and I wanted to show that this is a conspiracy show actually, you know. Uh Bigfoot might be real. It might be a recording phrase. I mean, we'll see. We'll see what the Pentagon says with all this uh UFO disclosure. All right, guys, that's it for us today. Glad to have you. We will talk to you again tomorrow or uh Monday. Don't forget that. Liberty Lounge on Sunday for 1776. We will also be broadcasting our first episode of Take Back Your Country County. We'll be having Gary here in studio and we'll be going over the political remodel device. That'll become a series. So join us for that. You'll see it streaming, and we'll talk to you guys later. Bye.

SPEAKER_29 2:07:56

I'm twenty-five. I didn't know you were called Dennis. I did say something about the old woman from behind you. The old man treat me. Have you got that? I don't know. Take it in period dogma, which perpetuates the economic and social differences in society. Is there ever gonna be any progress? How do you do, good lady? Um king of the Britons. Whose castle is that? The Britons. We all are we are all Britons, and I am your king. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictator. Stop perpetuating autocracy and which the working classes. These good people, I am in haste. Who lives in that castle? Who lives in that castle? Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. What? I told you. We're in a narco syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. Yes. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting. By a simple majority in the case of purely quiet. But by a two-thirds majority in the case of quiet. The lady of the lake. Signifying backup problems. That is what you're king. Listen. Strange women, not an importance. Distributive sword is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the message, not from some pharmacist or aquatic feminists. You can't expect the world supreme executive power. Just because some more retro authority. Just because some more
