Fix The Money And Cut The Rules Or Nothing Changes

Power doesn’t usually announce itself with a villain speech. It shows up as a “budget shortfall,” a permit that takes months, a grocery bill that keeps climbing, and a rulebook nobody can explain. We kick off with a real local GOP meeting in Kitsap County and use it as a microscope for the bigger story: why government and institutions get stuck, why taxes rise, and why reform always seems to hit a wall of lawsuits, bureaucracy, and vested interests.

From there we connect the dots to national stakes, including the SAVE America Act and what voter registration documents could mean for election outcomes. We also dig into regulation reform through a practical lens: building permits, zoning, single-family housing supply, and why “pro-growth” can mean lower burdens for ordinary households. Then we shift to food security and antitrust, breaking down meatpacking consolidation, foreign ownership concerns, and why a DOJ settlement targeting protein markets could matter for ranchers and consumers.

The second half runs straight into money and control: redistricting battles after Supreme Court rulings, the influence of unions and pension funds over corporations, and the emerging fight over stablecoins, yield, and the Clarity Act. We also talk tokenization, on-chain settlement, and why transparency can be both a cure and a new kind of surveillance. Our practical takeaway is Bitcoin self-custody and learning how sovereignty works in real life, not just as a slogan.

And yes, we take a sharp turn into UFO disclosure: pastors getting briefed, members of Congress describing “non-human” or “interdimensional” evidence, and competing theories about what’s actually going on.

Cold Open Peasants And Revolt

SPEAKER_27 0:08

And then they went to the green with a topic had no bread. Do you know what she had?

SPEAKER_33 0:17

Let me eat cake.

Welcome And Local GOP Organizing

SPEAKER_10 0:21

We're getting screwed, ma'am. Every time we turn around, we're getting screwed. The revolution's gonna be true podcasting for sure. It's the only way to take it. It's the little guys, the little guys that take the money of everything. It's gonna be peasants, ma'am. We're just peasants. Every one of us. You watch those old movies, you see the peasants in the background with the kings and kings walking around. We're those people. We're those people. Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. So glad to be with your you guys this morning tonight, whatever it is. I don't know. I had a late night. Oh my goodness. So we had the Republican Party meeting last night in Kitsap County.

SPEAKER_14 1:12

And I missed it.

SPEAKER_10 1:12

It was a banger. It's a good one. It was a good one. So if you are in Washington state, this week is the week you need to declare your candidacy to be a precinct committee officer. So you'll just have to do a little Google research and figure out how to do it in Kitsap County. You go to the Kitsap County website and there's a way to do it. It takes about, I don't know, probably took me three minutes, maybe five minutes to declare my candidacy. You basically have to confirm your voter registration and make sure you click the Republican box. Apparently, some people click the Democrat box and now they're trying to, you know, contact the county and do it. So it defaults to Republican around or Democrat around here. They're at the top of the list. Pony Boy, good morning to you. Doug Wyatt, you're bright and early. Good morning, peasants. Glad you made it. Carlito and Tiffany, good morning, y'all. Man, I love that you guys roll in every single morning. How great is that? Carlitz, good morning, everyone. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for joining us day after day. Yeah, man, it was a super interesting meeting. It started out with Orin Root, our one Republican uh council member. Yeah, we ended up with a Republican council member because somehow, somehow, two Republicans ended up on the ballot. I guess the Democrats didn't make it through the primary or something like that. And so we ended up with a Republican on the council. And guess what, Ron? He's gonna raise our taxes. Of course. Yeah, he came into the county and tried to doge the county, find out where all the money was going. And guess what he found out? We have a budget shortfall. So I was actually shocked. I was like, are you seriously walking in here telling us you're gonna vote for higher taxes? Well, you know, I was like, You have a hiring freeze and you hired a DEI manager. That's a hot potato. We can't, you know, who nobody wants to touch that. I'm like, oh my goodness. I will say this what I learned last night is they are afraid of lawsuits against the county.

SPEAKER_14 3:05

Okay.

Bitcoin Pump And Stacking Sats

Vested Interests Trap Government Budgets

SPEAKER_10 3:05

So they won't fire people because we might get sued. They won't do anything significant because we might get sued. It's like this kind of nonstop problem. Anyways, so all the more reason why you got to go to politicalremodel.com and you got to go get involved in your local county, become a precinct committee officer, and go make a difference. We absolutely can take our counties back. Gary was there, our good friend Gary. Yeah, and uh he got up and gave a speech, announced the political remodel and take back the country.com and encouraged people to go to it. Another person got up who's read the manuscript and endorsed it. So that was kind of fun. So definitely go get involved. Uh pray the Rosary Daily, happy Tuesday. Glad you made it. John Attakis on YouTube said first my made my first ever river Bitcoin purchase yesterday at midnight. Thanks for the push, Taylor. Oh, that is so wonderful. I'm so glad to hear that. That is awesome. Bitcoin is absolutely pumping. Yesterday it came up over 80, and then last night it was up. Right now it's 81,450. It is just climbing, climbing, climbing. So time is time is right. Please don't think. Oh, did I miss the boat? No, you didn't. We got 100x from here. The point is start stacking sats. And look what I got on today, Ron. Freedom. Freedom! Swatter Bitcoin logo there. I love it. I got some Bitcoin merch for myself. All right, I know why you guys pull in bright and early every single morning. And for those of you that join us later in the afternoon, you too can also enjoy the simultaneous sip with us through what vicariously or post fact. I don't know. Some word that would describe later, but yet in spirit we're with you. All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tinkard, a chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind, and fill it with your favorite liquid. I like Diet Dr. Pepper this morning. Thank you, Ron, for the cold one. 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.

SPEAKER_27 5:01

The big problem in with government, as Hayek points out, is that once you start doing something, you establish vested interest. And it's extremely difficult to stop and turn that around. Look at our school system. How is it our school system is worse today than it was 50 years ago? Look at the welfare state. We spent trillions of dollars without any success.

SPEAKER_10 5:29

That is the truth. And that is what I saw yesterday. That is what I saw yesterday. So the comment I got up before I make tell you about my comment, pray the rosary daily. I too, she says on the chats, bought Bitcoin yesterday. Ron, the peasants are going to be rich. You're gonna win this place eventually. This is such a big deal, you guys. If you haven't gotten in on Bitcoin, you've got to do it. If you think there's Bitcoin myths, it was started by the CIA. Bitcoin is what you say it is. So is gold, so is the dollar, so is the Turkish Libra, right? Go to check out our Liberty Lounge from a few weeks ago with Tom Phillips, Bitcoin Myths Debunked. Gotta check it out. Obviously, I'm talking about it regularly because money touches everything. You cannot talk about pollux, you can politics, you cannot talk about power, you can't talk about any of that stuff without talking about money. Case in point, last night in our Kitsap County Republican meeting, it was all about the budget. I will say, one of our local members that kind of uh runs pretty hard with the John Burke Society, excellent society, by the way, uh, was talking about, you know, you know the why that why you guys always have a budget shortfall? Always, like always, because you think inflation's at two to four percent. And it's like it's really at 10 to 15 percent, depending on the year. Yeah, he's like, so you can't ever stay ahead of it, which is why you're always behind it, right? And that's why taxes up, taxes up, taxes up. You know what orn, uh Orn Root, our councilmitter, said he said the fire department in this county is well funded because they can pass their own levies on the ballot. And he's like, no, if you go talk to the fire department marshal, oh yeah, we can need more money for these vacations or these new equipment or whatever. But he's like, they're practically overfunded. They don't get too good a success on bonds to build new fire stations, but they got plenty of money. Same thing with the schools. He also described how the school system here is all administrative. He says you go into the classrooms, they haven't hired new teachers. There's still 30 to 40 kids packed in every classroom, but oh my goodness, the administrative staff has just exploded.

SPEAKER_14 7:31

Oh, yeah, it's super top heavy.

Cut Permitting Rules To Lower Taxes

Voter ID And The SAVE Act

Trump Regulation Cuts And Local Lessons

SPEAKER_10 7:33

And that's what Milton uh Milton Friedman's talking about there is once you kind of establish these things, it's hard to get out of. And that's what I think our council is struggling with, which is why they need so much of our help. They've got to have our support to show that they can stand up to this stuff. The comment that I made to him when I got up and spoke, I asked him, I said, have you considered cutting regulations? I talked about the building, right? Kitsap County is hard to build in. It is easier to build in Jefferson, a neighboring county, and Clawham County, the county over. We're in the same Pacific Northwest region, the peninsulas of Washington State. Why does it why can I get a building permit reliably in 30 to 45 days in Kitsap County with my total permit expenses under 20 grand? Whereas in Kitsap County to get a permit for the same house I'm into at 100, yeah, right? Between county fees and environmental studies and stuff like that. And he was like, Well, you know, we're trying to speed it up. I was like, cut the regulations. If you cut the regulations, people can build single family homes. Then we share the tax burden instead of increasing our individual tax burden. I said, How do you think Florida's doing it? They're getting rid of property taxes, they're overfunded. Why? Pro growth. Anyways, interesting stuff. Car Leeds, nice river reoccurring by uh reoccurring buy feature has no fees, something to look into. We buy daily. Yeah, Kart Leeds, he just buys like five dollars a day, just no matter what, five dollars a day. You know, totally something that you could absorb into your budget. You probably have five extra dollars a day. Put it into Bitcoin three or four years from now. Each one of those five dollars is fifty dollars or five hundred dollars if we're lucky. Skip the latte, yeah. Skip the latte, get some Bitcoin. So, Wall Street Journal yesterday had something interesting to report. And I don't need to play this clip from Trump necessarily, but Wall Street Journal said if the Save America Act was passed, it could swing states to the right. Estimated Republican Party two-party vote margin in percentage points before and after requiring registration documents. And it goes on to show here that New Mexico would have gone to Donald Trump. Go figure, Ron. New Mexico is a red state, you know, lots of country and antelope down there. You don't think they're a red state? So turns out if you make people register to vote using an ID, as in a bona fide American citizen to vote, we would probably see a lot of our blue states become red states, or at best, purple. At best, purple. That's assuming they've got deep indoctrination. Anyway, states like Connecticut almost made the cut. Washington state, look at that, negative 10, negative 4.7. Hey, 4.7, that's practically the margin of error right there. Maryland, negative 14 to 8.8. DC, they're still long gone. But states like Wyoming, plus 25, states like South Dakota, plus 22, Tennessee, plus 20, Louisiana, plus 18. What that means is you're not getting any Democrats out of those states at all. And even Washington, right? If you look here, if you go to 0.47, you're gonna start picking off a lot of congressional districts and stuff like that to get that margin. Huge deal. Wall Street Journal reported that. If you have not made a call or sent an email or written a letter to your representative or your senator, is really where it is at, the senator to pass the Save America Act at all costs, that you will support them no matter what else they vote for, just do that. We can cycle out and flush out a lot of these bad politics inside of our counties. Okay, so another thing Donald Trump talked about, and this goes exactly to what I was saying last night in the Kidsap Republican meeting, is that if you cut regulation, it spurns growth.

SPEAKER_30 11:14

Under the last administration, one in four new jobs was a government job, but excuse me, wrong clip.

SPEAKER_10 11:20

Okay, so one of the things Donald Trump is doing is he's focusing on employment, right? Yep. But under his administration, unlike previous administrations, all the jobs are going to U.S. citizens and their private sector jobs, not public sector jobs.

SPEAKER_30 11:35

Under the last administration, one in four new jobs was a government job. But since my inauguration, 100%, think of that, 100% of all new jobs have been in the private sector. 100%. We cut a lot of government debt.

SPEAKER_10 11:55

Under the last 100% of government job of new jobs have gone to the private sector. And here's in that same press conference, he's talking about cutting regulation. This is significant for every new regulation that they institute, they're cutting 129. Could you imagine if Kittsap County, our local county, actually went through, like you know, porn roots response was they hired a consultant at the building department to do what is it called? Six by two or whatever it is.

SPEAKER_14 12:25

Two by six.

SPEAKER_10 12:26

Two by six, excuse me. Two by six. Great, speed it up. That doesn't necessarily help everything. No, right? I'm like, you need to go through, go apply for a permit. Go apply for a permit. Take a building plan, pick a fake lot, go apply for the permit here and in another county like Clawham County and see what the application looks like.

SPEAKER_14 12:45

Yeah. Right? There's a big, big difference. This is always a problem for people that go into permitting. And the problem is that you only really build a house once in your life. And so this hits you, and you're just like, holy smokes! And then you trudge through it, and then you're like, Whoof, glad I got through that. And then you think, well, that'll never touch me again, and you let you worry about the next guy. This just keeps building and building and building. The regulations just keep piling on, and nobody really understands it until they go in for a permit.

SPEAKER_10 13:18

Exactly. So, how could the county commissioner know? Oh, the problem is we need to speed things up. You know, the things were slow in the first place because we had too many regulations.

SPEAKER_14 13:26

Yeah. Right?

SPEAKER_10 13:27

So here's Donald Trump talking about cutting regulations.

SPEAKER_30 13:29

Almost as important as the tax cuts, we've slashed a record number of job-crushing regulations. That includes few, and that includes tremendous numbers of environmental regulations which stop your businesses, but they didn't do anything and they had no impact. If anything, they made the environment worse. But we eliminated 129 old regulations for every new one that was approved. It was supposed to be one in ten, and it's turning out to be a hundred and twenty-nine. So for every regulation, think of that, hundred and twenty-nine, we lose them, we get rid of them. It was supposed to be one in ten. We would have been happy with we did one in twelve. We we we started up one in seven with my last administration. We got it up to about one in twelve. Now I see we have a one in a hundred and twenty-nine. So we're getting rid of a hundred and twenty-nine nonsense regulations for every new one that we passed. And thanks to these pro-growth policies, our economy is roaring and factory construction is can is way up. Consumer confidence is way up. Business investment is more than triple compared to that of just a short time ago. And before I took office, nobody can believe it. And nobody can believe the eighteen trillion dollar number that we gave you. Because it's a record for any country, not just here, it's for any country. And a lot of that had to do with November 5th, but a lot of it had to do with tariffs. We charge tariffs to companies. When they come in, a couple of you were just saying to me that you're getting hurt by China and other countries making a product that's not as good, but it's less money because of the fact that there were no guards, no safeties view, and we've changed a lot of it. Some some have said you've you've absolutely saved our business. But uh, because of the use of tariffs, we have all this money because if they come in and build a business here, if they build their plant here, there are no tariffs. Uh jobless claims just hit the lowest level since 1969, and more Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. So we have more people working today.

SPEAKER_10 15:35

That is awesome news. These are wints, these are significant wins. Okay, another thing about last night's Republican meeting. So there is someone that's a Republican, he's clearly in the room with us that seems to be a friend of our local council member. They were friendly, and he's think considering, he's kind of a little late to the game, but he's considering running for a seat on the council. And he got up and he talked about, I guess he worked for the city of Seattle during their biggest growth period, and he's like, and now, you know, it's all crime and blah, blah, blah. And he was like, you know, sounds like you guys, and he was kind of directing his comments towards me. He's like, sounds like you guys want, you know, pro-growth because you're in the construction industry, but you know, it's not always everything it's cracked up to be. And we're subsidizing Amazon and the people that come in that build these projects, they're coming in from out of the county. And he's like, you know, these big companies, like when there's an apartment complex that's built, it doesn't go to a local contractor, it goes to an outside contractor coming from Pierce County or King County. And my thought was, yeah, that's because you ran all the local contractors out of town a decade ago. And my other thought was, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about single-family resident infill lots, right? Right? An apartment complex, yeah, they pay more in taxes, but I don't really believe it offsets the tax rate that an individual lot is going to offset. Right. The reason you build an apartment complex is you get more bang for your buck, is charges the total value compared to the people that live there. When you're building a single family residence, it's one family. You know, I like that 800,000 house, you take three houses, you just built a 10-unit apartment complex. Yeah, more people live there. That's good for sales tax. It's not gonna, it's not gonna do a lot on the property tax increase. You know what I mean? Any anyways, I um I was just like, dude, when it comes to single family residences, they're being built by people inside the county. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like it's yeah, I get they're gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_14 17:22

Well, this is that's why my solution to this entire problem is to change the zoning from like change rural residential one per five to one per one.

SPEAKER_10 17:32

Yeah, that would be great. And they've got some some uh zoning act that you know, they've got 200 non-conforming lots that were created that are like 4.97 acres that they can't build on because they have to be five acres. And he's like, you know, we could waive that, but then we'd get lawsuits about it, you know. And I'm like, that's the problem. You have to you have to let them sue, let a court decide.

SPEAKER_14 17:54

Yeah, no, nobody's gonna no, so that's so dumb.

Meatpacking Monopolies And Protein Prices

SPEAKER_10 17:58

Yeah, anyways, Ron, you gotta go get your get your candidacy form in, get involved, you gotta do it. Bread the Rosary Daily says, I'm going to add a reoccurring buy on Rivers, just deciding the amount daily.$250 a day. That's the target. That's the target. Okay, another another big one. Uh, you know, might be might be a little bit rich for my blood, but somebody's out there making$250 reoccurring buys. All right, so Secretary Rollins and the Department of Justice. So Secretary Rollins is from the Department of Interior, and her and the Department of Justice had a co-press conference yesterday, and this was about the price of protein. Now, this is about wins. Right. This is about wins. As Milton Friedman said during our simultaneous sip, when we create these institutions, it becomes very difficult to change them. It takes a strong constitution of the politicians backed up by the people in order to go against these vested interests, these commercial interests, these go along to get along. It's it's easier to raise taxes than to actually cut regulations and you know disturb a stakeholder's position in things. But when it comes to the American food supply, specifically protein, we have been held captive by foreign nations. They own our meat processing factories and plants. And this is a huge problem. So the Justice Department actually reached a settlement with the meat processing packers yesterday. And this is Susan um Susan Rollins addressing this issue overall. Let's try that again.

SPEAKER_03 19:30

The consolidation in U.S. meat.

SPEAKER_10 19:34

We got some sound gremlins. Are you hearing that or is that my headphones? Yeah, yeah, I can hear it. Oh, it's my headphones. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 19:39

And in U.S. meat packing has led to just four meat packers. JBS, a Brazilian-owned company, Cargill, Tyson Foods, and National Beef, another Brazilian company. Those four companies monopolize about 85% of the U.S. processing market today. But it hasn't always been that way. The rate of this four-firm control has accelerated since the 1970s. According to USDA data, concentration for cattle slaughter of these four was only 25% in 1977 and jumped to 71% by 1992. As mentioned today, it is an astounding 85%. Notably, these four firms now own together more than 70 subsidiary companies today. They don't own them together, but in total, there are 70 subsidiary companies that are owned by these four. This has led to a frightening landscape for cattle ranchers. Industry consolidation reduces options for our ranchers looking to sell their cattle. It weakens their negotiating power and it risks reliance upon a single buyer. Today, the concentration of larger plants opens the door to tighter coordination by the big four with producers, and perhaps the exertion, perhaps the exertion of control over them as well, giving they have limited options to sell their cattle.

SPEAKER_10 21:03

I love how she said, perhaps. I think this alludes to a settlement that they've reached. Perhaps that's that's the, you know, obviously these guys have essentially a monopoly, right? And obviously these guys are putting pressure on cattle ranchers. Is Shantini on with us today? Shantini, is there is there a cornered market for cattle ranchers? Those little cheeseburgers that came out this year. Are you kind of selling low? Meanwhile, when you go buy them back at Costco, those cheeseburgers are a little bit expensive. Like, where's the margin going?

SPEAKER_03 21:33

As ranchers face fewer options for selling their animals, the big four grow stronger and stronger. These companies now have an unprecedented ability to wield market power and influence as prices, influence prices paid for cattle, definitely more so than if we had greater competition. On top of that, half of these meat packing giants, including the largest meat packer in the world, are either foreign owned or have significant foreign ownership. And control, making them a threat not just to our cattle producers, but a threat to America itself. And as time has gone on, it becomes more and more clear that food security is truly national security. One Brazilian-owned company holds roughly a quarter of the market and has a documented history of international corruption and illicit activity. The brutal reality is that such foreign ownership of meatpackers has been affiliated not just with corruption, but also cartels and as recent as last week, slave labor, which is bad enough on its own, but it's also to the detriment of America's great independent ranchers and consumers. Further, when just four firms control a market, suppliers and food prices are rocked heavily when disruptions occur. The last few years have proven that the protein sector, especially, and therefore our food security, is especially at risk when global pandemics, animal disease outbreaks, and facility issues like fires, labor disputes, foodborne illnesses, and cybersecurity attacks occur. As an example, in 2019, a fire at a Tyson slaughter plant in Kansas resulted in a 27% drop in cattle traded on the market just that following week. And in 2021, a cyber attack on JBS plants in the U.S. caused ripple effects and delayed production. President Trump is acutely aware of these challenges, as evidenced by this Truth Social Directive last November, directing the Department of Justice to investigate the big four meatpackers for potential collusion and price manipulation. Ensuring these practices do not happen will protect both producers and consumers.

SPEAKER_10 23:43

So I have a good friend. Not a cowboy, he's a mule skinner down in Utah. And he owned a butcher shop for some 40 odd years. In fact, on the where his butcher shop was, it was like a five or 10 acre lot. And he sold a big chunk of that property, like 9.5 acres, to Costco. So the Costco in American Fort Utah, if anybody's familiar, his butcher shop is in the corner of the parking lot. It's still there. He sold the he since sold the butcher shop as well. But it was kind of funny, you know, you have this butcher shop in the corner and you have Costco in the background. But uh Wade was in the the you know butcher shop in industry forever. And he was a local butcher. So you raise, you know, Bessie, the family cow, you know, you give her a name, you feed her, the kids get all attached, and then one day dad comes out, shoots it with a 22, takes it to Wade. Okay, so he was that kind of a butcher. My first job ever was in a butcher shop. One of his friends up in South Jordan, it was JB Custom Meats for anybody in the South Jordan area. I'm not sure if they're still around. I was the cleanup boy. I'd come in after hours at 4 p.m. and clean the band saws and the knives and the butcher blocks. And good heavens, when it was pig day, oh the bone dust was not dust, it was like gat's lime. It was horrible. Anyways, this is my first job. Well, I guess technically my first job was doing dishes, paper boy. And then that was my first job for like like job job. Okay. So, anyways, what one time Wade was visiting us here up here in Washington, and my father-in-law, who you know, I verbally makes an appearance on the show as I've mentioned stories about him. He's a great everyday man. He's kind of like you, Ron, you know, doesn't really watch the news. And then something comes up, he's like, whoa. So we're sitting there out on my deck having a nice dinner in the summer evening, and my father-in-law turns to Wade and goes, Wade, why why is the price of meat so high? And this is five or six years ago. And Wade goes, secret combinations. Which has a Mormon back from in the Mormon scriptures, that's essentially what they call the cartel in the Book of Mormons, secret combinations. Secret combinations. That's he's like, oh, the meat packers are either from Brazil or China, and he goes off and you know runs off about how that controls the price of meat. And it actually kind of ran him out of business because it's it's hard to compete.

SPEAKER_13 26:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 26:08

With at one point is low meat prices, but at this point, they've almost destroyed the local butcher. There's not a lot of local butchers hanging around anymore. No. They pretty much specialize in deer and elk processing at this point, right? Yeah. And so uh really destroyed the market. So here is Todd Blanch talking more about this and how they've made a their we're going to have a settlement here.

SPEAKER_17 26:31

As you all know, last November the president tasked the department to investigate the costs and prices of beef. As a result, we prioritized investigating potential antitrust violations in U.S. cattle and beef markets. In the beef industry, the big four processors control over 85% of the beef processing market. Two of the big four are primarily foreign-owned. Multiple plant closures across the country, the current market structure, and high concentration in the industry indicate anti-competitive activity. Since the president's executive order, the department has been actively investigating with a review of over three million documents. Hundreds of industry participants, including ranchers, cattlemen, producers, and processors, have been contacted and many interviewed as part of this ongoing investigation. More broadly, the department has also executed on the President's executive order to stop anti-competitive behavior in the broader food supply market. Later this week, we will be announcing an historic settlement that will directly affect the prices of proteins like chicken, pork, and turkey. This business model allows competitors to exchange competitively sensitive information on every aspect of the protein industry and has raised the prices on chicken, raised the prices on pork, and raised the prices on turkey.

SPEAKER_14 28:20

Just listening to him talk, it sounds um I just it was really refreshing to hear a news soundbite that sounded like there was real information and you weren't listening to like five chicks cackle on the view. I mean, it's just nice to hear a a bit of news that sounds like something you want to actually listen to. Yeah, well, that's a press conference. And not a DEI discussion, you know. Ugh.

SPEAKER_10 28:43

Seriously. But this is such a big deal. Because one of the other things that happened last night at the Republican Party is one of, I don't know, I'd call him a friend, an associate that's been coming around just at least as long as I have. And he got up and was like, you know, I I'm disappointed in Trump, and you know, we've got the war in Iran, it's a war of choice, and the price of food is out of control, and basically just doing the whole, you know, we've got to go and agree with the Democrats because things are really screwed up, and you know, Trump's not making it better. And I was like, it's so sort of like if you'd have just waited one day, you could have heard that there's actually progress being made. You know what I mean? And hey, you know, those gas prices, they are up, but they're still the average gas price during Trump's term and Biden's point at this point, Biden was still more expensive. Not right now, today, it's more per gallon than it was under Biden. But you got to remember, we had over a year of close to$2 a gallon, whereas Biden, for the entire four years, was almost$4 a gallon. I mean, this is pretty significant. So, you know, when you talk about no new wars, I always look at the Iran situation and we've talked ad nauseum and we'll touch on it a little bit later today. That, you know, this war with Iran is not a war of choice. It's if we want to maintain our sovereignty as a nation, they attacked our elections. If we want to have peace in the Middle East, you got to deal with Iran. If you want to have, you know, low oil prices, you got to deal with Iran. Hey, you want to have American factories be set up for success and not have to compete with low costs in China, you gotta make it so China can't get oil at rock bottom prices.

SPEAKER_14 30:10

Some might call it a conflict of necessity.

SPEAKER_10 30:13

A conflict of necessity. Trump's trying to fix a hundred-year problem in a two-year election cycle. It's pretty scary.

SPEAKER_14 30:19

Without really going to actual war. Yeah, exactly. I mean, really.

Midterms Redistricting And Court Strategy

SPEAKER_10 30:24

Exactly. All right. So speaking of cackling cacklers on the news, this is Mark Penn, former Clinton pollstold, talking about the midterms coming up with the redistricting that's on the horizon. Because remember, the Supreme Court just a few days ago said you can't have these racially gerrymandered districts. And Louisiana went back to court to say, well, can we have this election with our current map with uh you know two districts cutting across the state so we can have these minority majority districts? And the Supreme Court said, no, that's unconstitutional. Okay. So there are minority majority districts spanning from Pennsylvania all over the South. They are all unconstitutional districts. So that decision, there was a decision a few days ago, and then there was the appeal that was heard that was put out yesterday that's basically saying, look, those are unconstitutional districts. So, word to the wise, anybody out there, you've got to go to court and challenge the district as it stands, that it is a racist district, right? So a lot of some governors, we'll hear about this in a second, are like, oh, we're just gonna sit back and wait. Okay, that's your cue, politicians. Go to court. You've got standing, put your name on a ballot and go say this district is unconstitutional. But here's Mark Penn talking about um this midterms coming up and how this the we don't even know what the map looks like right now. So anybody that's talking about the elections, uh, we've got a couple months before we even know what the lay of the land looks like.

SPEAKER_02 31:52

This is closer than people think it is. People are unhappy with the economy, they're unhappy with the with the Republicans, but they're also even unhappier with the Democrats. And so you you have to say, is this election going to be a referendum on the Republicans, in which case that's bad, or is it going to be a choice? And are the Republicans going to be able to make it a choice? If they do that, when I ask, who do you have more confidence in to handle the economy, Trump and the Republicans, or the Democrats in Congress, Trump and the Republicans win that 53 to 47. So, yes, uh, people are really suffering in terms of the way they perceive the economy, but and they're unhappy with the way it's going. But the Democrats haven't stepped up and shown that they will do a better job. And that's why I think this election, although usually the in-party goes out, uh, is still closer than most people think.

SPEAKER_10 32:47

Yeah, that is Bill Clinton's old polster. Okay, he's a Democrat. He's saying, Listen, this is closer than people think. And he didn't mention the redistricting. But when you to when you think about it, you know, that everybody's upset at Donald Trump because who's not upset at the politicians in power? Like, I would vote for Orin Roode again because at least he's fighting somewhat. But I'm kind of upset that he showed up at a Republican Party meeting being like, I'm gonna have to raise your taxes. Are you kidding me? Right. But he's making a sincere effort. He's just outnumbered two to one on the council. But yesterday on Fox News, they had a little, you know, what do you call this? A control, what do you what do they call this?

SPEAKER_13 33:25

A control group, a uh focus group.

SPEAKER_10 33:29

They had a focus group, a focus group of voters, and basically saying, where are we at six months to the midterms? And one of these ladies in here had an interesting take. She is a Democrat, but listen to what she says.

SPEAKER_28 33:41

Are you nodding at me? Do you agree with that? Yeah, I mean, I think right now the political climate is very divided. Um, I think that as I'm a Democrat, but I think that a lot of the independents they feel left out. Um, just a classic example. They can't vote in the primaries. So how are you gonna, you know, encourage voter activity if they can't even vote in a primary and they have to wait till November when in New York the primary already decides who the candidate will be in office?

SPEAKER_25 34:16

Yeah, no, it's a good point. And my notes have you as a moderate Democrat. I I'm just curious, what does that mean to you right now?

SPEAKER_28 34:23

Um, I feel, and you know, I had this conversation with Dominic before we came on. I feel like a lot of independents have been disenfranchised. Um, I feel strongly that um I register as a Democrat. I was a Bill Clinton Democrat. Bill Clinton was the first president I voted for. And I feel like the Democratic Party um has lost its ways, but I don't want to be an independent because then I can't vote in the primary. So I want to stay as a Democrat because I want to be able to vote.

SPEAKER_25 34:55

So so critical. This is like a fresh perspective this morning because a lot of times independents don't really speak up about that, they just don't vote until they can.

SPEAKER_10 35:05

But maybe that's interesting. She feels like the Democrat Party has lost her way, but she stays in the party because she wants to vote in the midterms. Hey, we've got seats open at the Republican Party, you could vote in the midterms for the Republicans too, if you want. Although we'll talk about this in a second, that is a little bit problematic. Okay, so Carolyn Wren was on with uh Sean Spicer and Steve Bannon on Real America's Voice. I guess it was on War Room, and she's talking about the redistricting because you've got 20 to 30 seats somewhere in that range that if Republican governors and Republican legislatures in these states that are affected by these racially gerrymandered districts that are unconstitutional, that's one sentence there, okay? If they actually went and redistrict, I think it could be a 20 to 30 seat pickup in the House, then Donald Trump probably wouldn't be impeached. Okay. So it's a big deal. But some are getting on board, some are not.

SPEAKER_22 36:03

I got into it over this in Georgia with Eric Erickson over the weekend. Uh when the governor Kemp announced that they were not going to be doing a special session ahead of the 2026 midterms. You know, I came out and said, This is this is ridiculous. Why are they, of course, taking a pass on this? They always do. And Eric Erickson said, you know, hey, I'm an election, a Georgia election attorney attorney, and we can't do what Louisiana and Mississippi are doing because we have an active election going on. And I replied and said, you know, what are you talking about? First of all, Louisiana is currently voting in Mississippi, their primary is already passed. That didn't stop their governors from taking action. And not to mention, what are you, you're saying that we can't, you know, redistrict because voting has started, you can't suspend an active election. Let me remind you that Governor Kemp suspended an active active election to primary in March of 2020 due to COVID. So why is it the Georgia Republican establishment is the absolute worst? When it comes to masking your kids or keeping them out of school, I mean, there is nothing Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensberger won't do to make sure that happens. But when it comes to protecting the most important thing we have, which is our sacred vote, there's nothing that these guys will do. That is the problem with the Georgia Republican establishment and with Governor Kemp and the way he is looking at this. And so it is very frustrating. And, you know, I think that um Sean did a great job of walking through the map. I just had a couple things, you know. Louisiana, I do think that they need to go for a 6-0 math. As Hawking Jeffries said, this is maximum warfare, and we need to recognize that. And so Louisiana doesn't have to go into special session. They're already in an active session right now. And so I really hope they go for the 6-0 map instead of a 5-1. Look at the just heinous map they drew in Virginia. Look at what they did in California. You legally can go for 6-0. You need to go for 6-0. In Alabama, it is a little bit trickier. What they're going to do is they're just going to revert back to its remedial 2024 map for this cycle. We pick up one seat. We'll get another one the next cycle. You know, I hope and wish that they would go for that uh, you know, say 7-0 map, but it it is trickier there procedurally. Then in Mississippi, the special session starts May 20th. We do not know if they're actually going to redraw the congressional maps for that, or it may just have to do with their Supreme Court. But to the governor, governor uh Tate Reeves' credit, he's leaving all options on the table. What is tricky there is that their primary has already passed. Uh, in Tennessee, the special session actually starts tomorrow. And Marsha Blackburn did a tremendous job pressuring Bill Lee and others on that. So we've got to give Marsha Blackburn some credit there. That special session, uh, you know, they're gonna redraw from an 8-1 to a 9-0. We'll pick up a seat there. South Carolina, you know, there's the Senate president is just one of the biggest rhinos there and is trying to block this. I think we're gonna hear something in the next 24 hours. Governor McMaster, I know, is trying to find any possible way. There was a lot of procedural hurdles, but the lieutenant governor there, Pamela Evitt, has been tremendous. She's really been taking the charge on this and pushing for it. So I'm hopeful in South Carolina.

Sleeper Candidates And Party Infiltration

SPEAKER_10 39:00

If you live in a state that potentially could be redistrict, you really need to call your local politicians. All of them that have anything to do with redistricting. Lieutenant governor, governor, secretary of state, you need to call your elected representatives, your house, your senate. You need to call them all. Let them know. These are unconstitutional districts and you need to go back to the map, you need to fix it. These are unconstitutional, racial, racist districts. You need to go back to your map and you need to fix it, and you need to fix it now. Now, right? There's there's nothing more important than having your voice heard in this situation. I will be calling my representative about this. Okay. Uh there is a leak, and I don't even think in Washington we have racially gerrymandered districts. I've I've not heard of any, but I'm still gonna call because you wanted in the zeitgeist. Okay, so this is from a couple years ago. This is from 215, 2022. And who this is is this is uh uh U.S. Senate candidate. And she her name was uh Crystal Matthews. She's from South Carolina, and she was on a phone call with an inmate in the Perry Correctional Institution. So she's talking to an inmate. This is a state Senate candidate talking to an inmate, trying to gen up votes and money. And this is really interesting. She says something that we should all become aware of. This is why it's so important at politicalremodel.com. One of the premises in the manuscript you download there is the contract between us and the politicians, the party and the politicians, right? To hold them accountable. Because they've been doing this, they've been doing this sneaky little thing where they run people that can kind of, you know, moderate Republicans or moderate Democrats, they run them cross-party, knowing that they'll obstruct the Republican Party. I am not aware of any Republicans who have ever done this, who have ever gone over and become Democrats, right? For the sake of uh disrupting the Democrats. I've never seen it. But we do see Republicans that or Democrats that become Republicans.

SPEAKER_21 41:09

We need them to run as the other side, even though they for our side. And we need them to win. We need people to run as Republicans in these local this is the only way you're gonna change the dynamics in South Carolina. We can battle them in public all day, as long as we know we're working for the same goal. For me, I feel like y'all, we need sleepers when we get enough of us in there, we can rehab and have it for real from the inside out. Then we can put some from the inside out. We gotta take back some of these feet, especially in these local elections. We need a group of sleepers. I still gotta struggle to raise money for my campaign. Where the f is my black people with money? I don't care if I'm no dope money. Give me that dope boy money. What is that a black boy? Somebody from your family that don't even know you donate to my campaign and protect them to donate. Honestly, these ain't the same type of black people that I grew up around. I don't recognize these black people. So I black because I don't understand the type of black that they are. Now, can I talk intelligently? Can I I can be I can move in all kinds of circles, but I'm a I love black people. I feel safe is around my own. I'm very much a in a lot of ways, but I know how to turn it off and turn it off. You know, I know how to be in certain faces. You know, you gotta be able to turn it off and turn it on. We need some folks that can wear all black at night and take their CR signs down when they when they sleeping. We ain't gotta make a fucking noise about it. We ain't gotta we ain't gotta go live about it. Just go say just like when somebody drop money and you pick it up.

SPEAKER_10 42:50

I think she just submitted like seven felonies right here. I don't care about no dope money, put it in a duffel bag, drop it off at my campaign headquarters, put it under the name of your family members. They don't even need to know they're donating to me. We need some sleeper cells, we need some people to run for the other party. And here's the thing: how do I know this is happening? How do I know it's happening? Because the infighting in the Republican Party is kind of off the charts right now. It's just like that guy that got up yesterday in the Republican Party and criticized Donald Trump's policies, the war in Iran, and all that kind of stuff. The truth of the matter is, and we showed a clip a while back of Anna Kasparian from the Young Turks, Democrat, far left, and Nick Fuentes, Republican, far right, saying the same things. Well, if you listen to these people long enough, eventually the truth comes out. Eventually the truth comes out. I've got a play a clip from Nick Fuentes here. Dad, heads up, there's a swear word and a slur in here, just FYI. Okay. This is from Nick Fuentes. Now, you cannot undervalue the influence of Nick Fuentes with Gen Z and younger millennials. He has a huge following, probably a lot of bots. Okay. But he has a significant following. He controls what are called the Groipers. These are your online, you know, far right, alt-right, incel type Republicans that spend a lot of time trolling online. They they tout themselves as being high masculine and all that kind of stuff, sort of. Okay.

SPEAKER_14 44:18

And that big pile of influence is the only reason you even know his name.

SPEAKER_10 44:21

And that big pile of influence is the only reason you even know his name. He had a dinner with Donald Trump. He was working with Ye. Remember when Ye was running for president? Yeah, set up a dinner between Nick Fuentes and Donald Trump. And Donald Trump took a lock of flat. He didn't really know who Nick Fuentes was. He's articulate, well spoken, puts on a suit every day for his podcast. He's got a way studio background, way better studio background than we do. But nonetheless, this is Nick Fuentes saying the truth. Okay. He's got a hat on his desk, America First. This is kind of becoming a cattle call for Republicans that should may as well go be Democrats. This is the Marjorie Taylor Green crowd. And this is the fear I have. As Marjorie Taylor Green was leaving office, and absolutely she was a warrior for a lot of MAGA issues. She spoke up about a lot of things. But in the end, how did she fizzle out? Taking away from Donald Trump's political capital, making Epstein an outsized issue, and uh became very critical now of pretty much all of his policies. He said, No more wars in Iran. Iran to talk to our elections, no peace in the Middle East without dealing with Iran. Uh, you know, Iran's got the off-balance, fix the money, fix the fix the world. Iran was the off-balance sheet, books, booksheet that communist China and the British both were using to basically destroy our financial systems. Listen to Nick Fuentes talk about what we need to do with Donald Trump, and he says the thing that nobody would expect. This is a right-wing influencer.

SPEAKER_08 45:50

I care about affordability, I care about foreign interventions, I care about the border. I'm a non-woke moderate Democrat. I think the GOP needs to be destroyed.

SPEAKER_10 45:59

I think the corrupt criminal government of Trump I'm a non-woke moderate Democrat.

SPEAKER_08 46:04

Trump needs to be slowed down. We need to impeach the orange. It's time to put this nigga in a peach. Trump needs to be placed inside of a crystal. He needs to be impeached. This fat orange, tiny hands, needs to be impeached. And then in 28, no Vance, no Rubio. We have to burn down the whole party.

Unions Pension Power And School Ideology

SPEAKER_10 46:23

And there you go. So this guy's got a huge influence online. Don't underestimate it. Most people under 25 years old, maybe even under 30, know exactly who he is. Right. And he says a lot of things, and a lot of people think he's like one of Trump's far right extremists. Pony Boy says, Well, yeah, he got SPLC money, so he's got money to doll up his studio. Probably. And again, Nick Fuentes got debanked. Remember, we paid the clip where they took his money. So it's not like this guy hasn't, you know, when you're a political person like this, you run the possibility of being targeted. He went to J6, he was encouraging people to go in. Why didn't he ever get charged? Kind of interesting, right? Kind of interesting. But here's the other thing, too. Along with the meat packers, and along with many, many, many of our other corporations, and we saw this during COVID, right? A lot of corporations are the ones who were enforcing COVID rules. You walk into a store, put your mask on. I got banned from Goodwill because I didn't want to wear a mask on that, right? So this was a huge issue. This is Randy Weingarten. She is the teachers' union president. Okay. This is the teachers union president. She was on a call and she was talking about uh she was talking about encouraging Democrats and school teachers and whatnot to boycott target. Okay. Boycott target because they are complying with Donald Trump's directive orders about anti-DEI, as well as they weren't doing enough to speak up about what was going on in Minnesota earlier this year, right? The ICE protests and stuff like that. And she drops a bomb here. She drops a bomb here. How is it that these unions and organizations have this way outsize influence over corporations that should just care about selling us trinkets? You know what I mean? Like, why does Target care about all these wildly political issues here? She tells us.

SPEAKER_33 48:21

We sent a letter to Target a few weeks ago, right at around the time of the occupation by the federal government of Minnesota, uh, to Minnesota, that said, why are you not? We we're writing to you not only as consumers of your products, but we own about 7% of your stock. Ah. And why are you not, or actually, probably even more than that. I'm not looking at the letter. Why are you not listening to the people in Minnesota, the place that you are headquartered, the place that you started, they want you to be with them telling ICE to stay out.

SPEAKER_10 49:00

And of course, they So the president of the teachers union wants Target to tell ICE employees they're not allowed to go in Target to make some kind of grandstand. Exclude some customers is what she's saying. Why? Because we own your stock. So every teacher in America who's a part of the teachers union is contributing to this Yahoo who wants to tell Target who they can and can't sell to, specifically government employees who are doing the agenda of a president who just won in a landslide election, getting all seven swing states.

SPEAKER_14 49:34

Is this uh fascism or what?

SPEAKER_10 49:37

Yeah. By the way, fascism is socialism. Uh right, fascism is socialism. So, yes, this is fascism.

SPEAKER_33 49:46

They disregarded that letter. And what we're doing now, and we're going to the AFL CIO convention with this resolution ourselves, is we're asking everyone around the country, starting with our members, that for back to school, buy local, don't buy target. You know, the there's two times for retailers that are really big times for them. One is Christmas, and the other is back to school. So, first using our pension funds, but also using ourselves as consumers and and to try to actually get these corporations or get the money to interest, the capital interest in the country to be far more aligned with workers.

SPEAKER_14 50:28

What the hell is she talking about? Using their pensions and using their workers to I know, but back to school, where are you gonna go? I mean, do you who's your local pencil maker?

SPEAKER_10 50:40

I mean, probably just some company that capitulates and has a you know a BLM BIPOC rainbow sticker in their window. You know what I mean? Like, like clearly. That is another one of those stunning things where it's like this is happening. Every teacher in America is contributing to this. She talked about the AFL CIO, that is the Federal Workers Union, so they gang up on stuff like this. So you just have a these guys have a ton of influence. Why? Because they're using your retirement money as a cudgel, which means they're not investing it for an ROI, they're investing it for influence. Now, the teachers, the teachers in let's see, Illinois are being investigated. The the schools in Illinois are being investigated because they're not complying with the law and with an executive order to eliminate the indoctrination of our kids when it comes to transgenderism and sex and stuff like that. So this was an alert from Fox News saying the DOJ is kind of starting to get on this. Follow the money, and it's gonna lead you right back to people like Randy Weingarten, who I could play clip after clip of her just being an absolute bozo clown. But she controls your pensions and she controls the union.

SPEAKER_12 51:57

DOJ has launched an investigation into 36 Illinois school districts in an effort to find out if those districts are teaching sexual orientation and gender ideology to students without the consent or knowledge of their parents. The DOJ, in a statement, says this quote, determined to put an end to local school authorities keeping parents in the dark about how sexuality and gender ideology are being pushed in classrooms. Supreme Court precedent leaves no doubt parents have the fundamental right and primary authority to direct the care, upbringing, and education of their children. Now, Democrats are calling this probe a sham. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin writing in a statement this quote, I can save DOJ some time. Their investigators will find 36 Illinois school districts dedicated to providing their students with a good, well-rounded education.

SPEAKER_10 52:47

And pensions that are being used to make sure Target, because remember, Target was one of the companies that was like they had gender neutral clothing for kids. They had their whole rainbow displays and stuff like that. Do you see the tie-in here? Do you see the tie-in? As Milton Freedom says, you know, once this stuff gets going, it's hard to stop because there starts to be vested interest. Target is held captive by the teachers' union because they own 7% of their stock. Do you think Randy Weingarden would hesitate for one second to dump that stock, tank Target's stock values, and take them somewhere else? Do you think she'd hesitate for one second?

SPEAKER_14 53:22

I know, but what are they gonna do? Then they're gonna go buy Walmart stock and do it to them, and then they'll just move on to the next company until everybody's in line. Because they control the money. Right. Because they control the money.

Two-Tier Justice And Supreme Court Maps

SPEAKER_10 53:33

Fashion. And here's the thing teachers get paid by tax dollars. Right. It's paid by tax dollars, but you know, new money that's printed and we pay the interest on the tax dollars. Teachers get paid by tax dollars and then they pay their union dues. So there's an automatic funnel from your tax revenue to the teachers' union dues. Straight to the weapon that's coming after you, who then buys stock and stuff like that. So the teachers' union can solicit more grant money, more money for schools, and turn around and increase the amount of money that they can invest in these pensions, which then they can direct around and control policy. It's a major problem. Major, major problem. Here's another thing, too, just to kind of keep on with this theme that Democrats are always what we think they are. So this is the first openly gay chairman of DC's police union. He was arrested a couple days ago on child sex abuse charges. Shocker. Now, this affects me because obviously this guy was in charge of the police union of the cops that were at January 6th. And the cops that held me in prison, right, in the DC gulag. This guy would have been the chairman of their police union. Child sex charges. Child sex charges. You know, DC has some serious, serious problems. So we've got that White House press correspondence shooter. His name is Cole Thomas Allen. So he when did that happen? Was that uh it was last Friday night, I think? Yeah, Saturday. It was last Saturday. Okay. So we're going on like four or five days. So we spent the weekend in the DC jail. I'm very familiar with it. I know exactly where he was being held. I know I was in there when I got in, eight days, solitary confinement. Okay. Well, he spent 48 hours in solitary confinement. 48 hours in solitary confinement on suicide watch. Why? Because he expected to die. And so, you know, he'd already made peace with the fact that he was going to be dead. It was very probable that he might try to kill himself while he was in prison. Normal procedure. If you go into prison saying things like, I just want to kill myself or something like that, they're going to put you on suicide watch. So he got put on suicide watch. He finally got brought before the judge uh two days ago. And listen to the reaction of this judge. This is Judge, uh, I think his name is uh his name is Judge Zia Faru Faruqui, Z-I-A-F-A-R-U-Q-I-A. Okay. This is the DC judge. He oversaw January 6 cases. He oversaw January 6th cases, and not a couple of them, like close to a hundred of these January 6th cases, that were all being held in the DC Department of Corrections, the DC Gulag, that all experienced solitary confinement for, in some cases, months on end, who all oversaw who was over all of that. How much sympathy do you think he gave to January 6ers? None.

SPEAKER_31 56:33

Listen to this. Judge Zia Verakwi Farraqui apologize to uh suspect Cole Allen for the treatment he's received so far while he's been behind bars. He's been put on suicide watch by the Department of Corrections, and the judge was asking why. Uh an attorney for the government said that he was put on suicide watch because he told FBI agents the night of the White House correspondence dinner attack that he didn't expect to survive. And his language suggested that he really was not expecting to survive his trip to Washington, D.C. and the ultimate incident where he allegedly uh showed up with a weapon to try and assassinate President Trump. He's been charged with that crime. But the judge, very concerned about his constitutional rights, saying uh the defendant has requested a Bible, has requested uh meetings with his legal team, and that has not been allowed. He's been put in restrictive 24-hour lockup um with no windows and a padded room without an I'll say he was requesting meetings with his legal team.

SPEAKER_10 57:33

Brian Cole Jr., the alleged pipe bomber, also wants meetings with his legal team. Guess what? Motion denied.

SPEAKER_31 57:39

Motion denied. Opportunity to get out for recreation. And so uh the judge making it clear to the Department of Corrections that he wants answers by tomorrow morning about exactly what the housing uh determination will be made for the suspect in this case, um, out of grave concern about his constitutional rights and that apology issued near the end of the hearing. And so uh quite a moment, just moments ago in federal court. Um, bottom line, the Department of Corrections said they wanted to make sure that he survived, that this is a high-profile case, and all involved acknowledge it is a high-profile case. Uh, but again, the judge concerned about the treatment he's gotten since he was arrested after the White House correspondence dinner shooting incident. Sandra, back to you.

SPEAKER_32 58:22

A lot of my people might be shocked by that. Did Judge apologize to this guy who's a killer? Who, if he had gotten another couple yards, would have sprayed the whole audience in the correspondence center? I mean, would have just sprayed him and killed God knows how many, and then would have marched up and taken a shot over the whole audience at the president? We're apologizing to this guy? I don't get that.

SPEAKER_10 58:50

Seems more they stole an election. I went and protested. I got no apologies. I got no apologies. This guy, this guy had a death wish, and he actually did, in fact, shoot a secret service agent.

SPEAKER_14 59:02

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 59:04

The judge apologized to him.

SPEAKER_14 59:06

That's so ridiculous.

SPEAKER_10 59:08

The the president of the police union in DC gets arrested for child porn charges. Um, we got a problem here. Houston, we got a problem. Here's another thing. So this comes from the decision I was mentioning yesterday. Louisiana wanted to know if they could just, you know, stick with the racial the racist unconstitutional districts for the upcoming election. You know, we just we don't want to burden the legislature with a district map during the midterm year. I mean, we we really want the Democrats to get those last two seats. And so the um the Supreme Court turned it down. They said no. But of course, of course, Katanji Brown Jackson wrote a dissent, and she got lamb blasted by Justice Alito in in his response to her dissent. Listen to this. Okay, this kind of goes along with this whole theme. We're we're kind of in pretty deep. You know, you've got Randy Reingarden controlling pensions, teaming up with the AFL CIO of federal union, federal workers that are in the union, which of course you have to join the union because they secure your pensions that are being used as a cudgel against who? We the people and our agenda and what we want our politicians to do. And our and American corporations just sell a good product. We'll come and buy it. Corporations shouldn't have too much of a public stance. You know what I mean? Like, it just doesn't make any sense, especially one like Target, Tarja. So Justice Alito says this this dissent in this suit, this is his response to Katanji Brown Jackson, leaves charges that cannot go unanswered. The dissent would require that the 2026 congressional elections in Louisiana be held under a map that has been held to be unconstitutional. The dissent does not claim that it is now too late for the legislature or district court to adopt a new map that complies with the constitution, nor does the dissent assert that it is not feasible for the elections to be held under such a map. Instead, the dissent offers two reasons for its proposed course of action. One is trivial at best, and the other is baseless. He goes on to say the dissent goes on to claim that our decision represents unprincipled use of power. Okay. That is the ground, that is the ground that and excuse me, unprincipled use of power, and just like that, those principles give way to power. That is a groundless and utterly irresponsible charge. What principle has the court violated? The principle that Rule 45.3's 32-day default period should never be shortened, even when there is a good reason to do so. The present the principle that we should never take any action that might unjustifiably be criticized as partisan. So basically, Kitaji Brown Jackson, according to Alito, is playing politics with the Supreme Court, who's supposed to adjudicate things based on the Constitution and the law as it's written by the legislature. If you go look at that Voting Rights Act, nowhere in there does it say that you can create these racial districts. The the one paragraph that they use to create them, when you go read it, and I should have pulled it up for this. You go read it and you're like, how did they come up with racial districts? Right? Which is why it was unconstitutional in the first place. Stunning, stunning, right? Deep inside our DOJ, FBI, Department of Justice, and the judges themselves, in many cases, have become partisan hacks. That justice who apologized to the White House correspondent shooter probably wishes he has succeeded. Don't you think, Ron?

SPEAKER_14 1:02:47

Yeah. I mean, he's clearly showing his bias.

Stablecoins Yield Fight And Bank Pressure

SPEAKER_10 1:02:49

Now, you know, obviously I'm a little bit sensitive to this because I got put on trial in that courthouse by one of his associates. Who is also showing bias? Who was also showing bias? You know, it makes me wonder if my judge happened to be Judge Lamberth, if the proof comes out that the election was stolen, would he have said that while there's a place for people like Henry David Thoreau and Martin Luther King to protest, but there's not for me, would he then maybe say that I could put my name in comparison with them? Do you see what I'm saying? If the facts come out to support the cause and reason why Donald Trump encouraged people to come on January 6th to support the legislature to do the right thing, do you think that he would change? And I can tell you this this judge in this colt case, no. Because it has nothing to do with principle, it has to do with partisan power politics. I hope that my judge would change his tune. I would hope. It's okay to disagree with Donald Trump. It's not okay to disagree with the Constitution being violated before our very eyes. Another thing that's kind of really good news for us, and uh this this is affecting things well. I've got my I've got some trusted smart chain nodes that are kicking off tokens, and the value doubled in the last weeks, which is great. So Cynthia, Senator Cynthia Loomis said this. This is finalized. So this is dealing with the Clarity Act. Bipartisan text is the culmination of months of hard work to deliver compromise on yield that we can live with. We are closer than ever to getting a Clarity Act across the finish line. So Tom Tillis released this following the release of a proposed language on stable coin yield in the Clarity Act. The American Bankers Association, Bank Policy Institute, and Consumer Bankers Association, Financial Services Forum, and independent community bankers of America issued the following statement. That sounds an awful lot like a cartel. That's like all the meat packers getting together. We appreciate the work by Senator Tillis and Senator also Brooks to address the concerns from banks of all sizes around the risk of deposit flight from paying yield on stable coins. So here's the issue at hand. When you make a deposit in the bank in the savings account, they pay you an interest rate, half a percent, one percent, two percent, okay, for giving them their money, which then they give to the Federal Reserve, which then buys bonds from the Treasury, so that they can go and give it to the school districts that then go to the AFL, CIO, and the teachers union, and then they can buy stock and target and bully them around.

SPEAKER_14 1:05:19

Yep.

Tokenization And Markets Moving On-Chain

SPEAKER_10 1:05:20

That's what's happening with your money. When we say fix the money, fix the world, you fix the money, you fix that. Stable coins are the cryptocurrency equivalent of money, right? And so, or I don't know, not money, the crypto, it's cryptocurrency, cryptography currency. And they, this clarity act is not going to allow you to save your money in tokens and cryptocurrency and earn interest. So a lot of cryptocurrency is based on what's called proof of staking. Bitcoin does not do this. Big this has nothing to do with Bitcoin. Okay. But cryptocurrencies like like Tether and Ethereum and many, many others, if You hold it, the hope was these crypto crypto companies could pay you interest by not selling the tokens, which increases the scarcity and therefore the demand and therefore the value. However, this competes with the banks. And so the banks are worried if our cryptocurrency, which has way bigger upside because at least we can see the blockchain, right? If if they can pay interest on savings, there will be deposit flight out of the banks and into crypto holdings. Fair enough. Now the proposed language is public. We are working to provide feedback that balances both the innovation and the and the community lending necessary to ensure that America's economy is the strongest and most resilient in the world. Senator Tillis and also Brooks are seeking to achieve the correct policy goal, prohibiting the payment of yield and interest on stable coins. So stable coins and other cryptocurrencies, you'll be able to earn rewards, which is what interest is, it's a reward for keeping it in the bank. You'll be able to earn rewards when you use the tokens. So it's going to encourage the movement of the tokens rather than the stagnation of them, which is what savings accounts encourage, the stagnation of the money. However, the proposed language falls short of that goal. It is imperative that Congress gets this right. The research demonstrates that yield-earning stable coins could reduce all consumer small business and farm loans by one-fifth or more, making it essential for the prohibition to be clear and transparent. We will be sharing our detailed suggestions for strengthening the proposed language with lawmakers in the coming days. We'll continue to work with good faith to help Congress embrace innovation while protecting the deposits that drive local lending and economic activity in their communities. Now, Tom Tills put out a statement, he said, the deal's done, folks. We can agree to disagree. We're moving forward with the bill. That's a really good thing. That's a really good thing, especially for those of us that are interested in cryptocurrencies and more specifically Bitcoin, right? Bitcoin is not in that cryptocurrency category. Cryptocurrencies, you can think of it as this that's currency. Bitcoin is gold. It's money. That's the difference. There's a wall between the two. So I encourage people to go get involved with Bitcoin. Own the money. Own the money. Cryptocurrencies, however, are going to be a huge part of our economy going forward. This is the SEC chairman, Paul Atkins, talking about where the market is going in the next two years. So those of you that have been listening to the show, Pray the Rosary Daily, John Attakis, who got your river accounts open, Carlitz, good on you because you're way ahead of the curve because the world is definitely going on to digital rails. Listen to the SEC, this is the Securities and Exchange Commission chairman, talk about this the uh the whole market going, quote, on-chain.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:46

Tokenization is the idea of using then smart contracts or or you know tokens on-chain to be able to that represent, say, an underlying security. And so then that tokenized security is a security and would be subject to uh SEC rules by law. But the idea is that it's if it's on-chain, on a blockchain, then there's much more transparency as to where it is. Right now, there's a bit of capacity as to you know who owns what and where the Did you hear that?

SPEAKER_10 1:09:18

That's why they're changing it. And that's why we as peasants, when you're worried about the control grid, listen, there's ways to protect yourself from the control grid. But you know what you can't protect yourself, yourself protect yourself from Randy Weingarden and using your pension money to go bully businesses around to do things that you oppose, or school districts that want to continue transgender education that you oppose. Why? Because you can't track the money, you cut the money off. That's the lifeblood of all of this. So going on-chain creates accountability. That's the that's the key here.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:54

The company usually doesn't even know where its shareholders are who its shareholders are and where the where you know where the shareholders reside, where the shares reside. So uh so tokenization uh has the uh benefit of potentially having instead of T plus one now, trade date plus one for uh uh clearance and settlement, um, the prospect of maybe T0. Now, depending on the instrument, and you know, there's we we have to you know think about netting and all sorts of other things with respect to some instruments. But in principle, the idea of on-chain delivery versus payment and uh uh receipt versus payment, DVP, RVP on-chain is a prospect of de-risking the markets, making them much more transparent and then sure as far as clearance and settlement, because it's always that's the the uh the gap between clearance and settlement and then delivery and payment is the the real uh introduces risk into the system.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:02

Do you expect this is where financial services is are is going? Are are the major banks and the brokers out there today moving increasingly toward tokenization? Oh uh absolutely.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:13

And uh it's the uh the way the world will uh be uh you know, here in the I mean, maybe not even in 10 years, maybe even a lot less time, maybe a couple of years from now. So I think that all of this modernization of the markets, I think is good. And the trouble that uh we've seen here over the past uh few years is that uh you know, the SEC, unlike historically, it it historically it never was necessarily at the vanguard of pushing new innovations. It was always you know a little bit behind the market, of course. Um but here uh recently it's been almost standing athwart uh the marketplace and as it's uh you know, as all these new innovations were coming about. So that's no more. We're actually embracing it, and I believe that we need to be embracing it to keep the United States at the forefront as far as cryptocurrencies and whatnot. There are really only two countries in the world here in the last few years that were working to make cryptocurrencies illegal, and that was communist China and the U.S. through the SEC. So that's changed. It's a new day now, and so uh we want to embrace uh this new technology.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:30

Well, no, it's a new technology, and I think it's a net positive for the for the peasants. Having said all that, I have concerns about the control grid, right? I have concerns about deep banking, which is why I am such a big fan of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is uncensorable. All those tokens and everything he's talking about, it'll create transparency. You'll be able to see how companies are who company owners are, right? Who the stockholders are. You'll be able to see where the money's being invested, all that stuff goes on chain. That's a regulator's dream, right? Because, like he said, in the settlement phase, when you make a wire transfer on the weekend, it doesn't show up till money. They're earning interest on your money over the over the weekend, right? And any other time, the distance between when you loan something to wit or when money is being sent and when it's being received, during that time frame, that money is not just moving, it's always earning interest when it's in their pocket.

SPEAKER_14 1:13:19

Yeah, they keep it in overnight markets in other stock markets around the world. They move that money around.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:25

And Patrick Byrne, back when he broke up Wall Street and did a bunch of whistleblowing, it was all in the settlements. They were shaving off quite a bit of the American people's money in these settlements and just literally taking it, just swipping it right over. Cryptocurrency avoids all of that. Now, I still like Bitcoin. Why do I like Bitcoin? Because it's not a currency. It can serve as a currency, it's money. It's uncensorable. The nature of the network, the nodes, and everything is completely different than all the other cryptocurrencies in the world. There's a difference between the two of them, right? A difference between the two of them. Here's Kevin Warsh. This is from a little while back. He was on CNBC and he gives this advice. Remember, this is our new Fed chairman.

SPEAKER_15 1:14:09

Are you on board with with Bitcoin? I know Stan Druckenmiller uh is now on board. I think when we've talked about Bitcoin in the past, uh, I think you you had a a perhaps a lesser view. I don't know if you have a different view today.

SPEAKER_16 1:14:22

So uh so uh uh Stan calls me his partner. I call him my boss. One of us is lying, but I'll let you figure out who's who in that, Andrew. Um, so I'd say um I think that Bitcoin does make sense as part of a portfolio in this environment where you have the most fundamental shift, for example, in monetary policy since Paul Volcker. This is a big shift that we're seeing under the PAL Fed, rightly or wrongly. So I'm not surprised in a period of dollar weakness where Bitcoin's doing what it's doing. And I'd also suggest that part of the move in Bitcoin is taking some of the bid away from gold.

SPEAKER_10 1:15:02

This was back when Bitcoin was at$34,000 per Bitcoin, and he's saying Bitcoin was taking away from gold. You don't think it's still doing that?

SPEAKER_16 1:15:13

Away from gold. I think if Bitcoin never existed, gold would be rallying even more right now. But I guess if you're under 40, Bitcoin is your new gold. So I think of Bitcoin as a lot of things, but it's certainly with every passing day, getting new new life as an alternative currency. When you see the strength of the euro, the strength of the pound, the strength of the RB, the Korean wan, the Mexican peso, I guess we shouldn't be surprised to see the strength of Bitcoin as well.

SPEAKER_10 1:15:43

Shouldn't be surprised at all. It's trading up up above 81,000 right now. And here's Jack Dorsey, right? This is the guy who created Twitter, and he's an interesting character. I think Twitter got hijacked from Jack Dorsey, right? When you listen to Jack Dorsey one-on-one, he's like one of us. You know, he wants to innovate, he wants to do the right thing for the people, he wants freedom, peace, love. He's kind of a big hippie, you know, the whole thing, goes to Africa, does sweat lodges and stuff. But Twitter got really hijacked from him, right? The Twitter files show, I mean, the FBI was just basically parked out there. And what are you gonna do? Well, he talks about the monopoly on force that the current monetary system creates. And this is where we as peasants, this is why we want to emphasize, and he is all in on Bitcoin, right? This is why we as peasants want to go this direction. You want to avoid the control grid, go to Bitcoin. Gold ain't gonna do it for you because at some point you got to go sell that gold and they're on the control grid. You can't go peer-to-peer if you're not face to face with gold. So Bitcoin avoids all of that and it solves what I call the warlord dilemma. If I want your land, you've got some nice productive farmland. How am I gonna get it? Give it to me. You don't want to give it. Pew pew pew pew. I take your farmland. Hey, you've got gold. I want it. Give it to me. I don't want to give it to you. Pew pew. I can take it, right? And then I can control that money. It's a physical possession that I can take from you. Everything we have from our clothing, everything we have can be taken from us. But what can't be taken from us is information. And that's what Bitcoin is. It's the pass keys. It's not a wallet, it's not a thing that's out there. It's the information that gives you access to it. You could be stripped naked and walk across the border and take that quote-unquote Swiss bank account simply in your memory. It monetizes information. The one thing that can't be taken from you, your thoughts. And it avoids the warlord dilemma.

SPEAKER_29 1:17:40

Who do you have to ask for permission from? Number one, we we discussed a little bit, which is the government. Um, the government is very similar to number two, which is a corporation. The difference is a government has a monopoly on violence. It has an army. It can force you to do things through weapons. While you may think you own a piece of property, or you own uh a piece of clothing, or anything that you you feel like you have ownership over, it's actually just a lease from the government. They're giving you permission to continue to own it. They can seize it at any point. If you do something that is against their policy or against their laws or against their rules. So there is no true ownership with this monopoly of violence.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:30

There is no true ownership with the monopoly of violence. And Bitcoin is the first asset in world history that avoids that because it's simply information. It's the pass keys. It's the pass keys.

SPEAKER_14 1:18:44

And it's not owned by a government.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:46

It's not owned by a government, it's not controlled by a government. They can take your little, you know, cold storage wallet. Wallet's nothing. The wallet's nothing. That thing that generated the pass keys, once it generates, it doesn't generate them anymore. That was its whole purpose. Right? You can go anywhere in the world, you get access to the internet, which the internet's not going away. When people are like, well, what happens if the internet goes down? I can't eat gold. That's my answer. If the internet goes down, I the only thing I care about is beans, tomatoes, and steak. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's the only thing I care about. So it's not you can't eat gold. If the internet goes down, the solution isn't gold, it's not silver. You know, I mean, in prison we use stamps, like anything that's in there at that point. What's money? Bullets and cigarettes. That's money.

SPEAKER_14 1:19:28

When I first saw when I first saw one of these uh cold storage wallets, I was like, man, that looks like a pager.

Iran Strait Of Hormuz And Project Freedom

SPEAKER_10 1:19:35

Yeah, they do. They do. Hey, you've got to take the 1776 live.us Bitcoin class from zero to node runner because Bitcoin is a technology, right? And you've got to learn how to use it and you've got to learn things to keep you safe. River is awesome. And I highly recommend everybody get involved. Get off zero using River. Ron, you got the River link you can drop in there. Get off zero using River, but come take the class. It's worth the investment to take the class to learn how to take private custody of your Bitcoin, how to put it into a private wallet. If you've got multiple people that are invested together, a family, you can have, you can have dual entry wall. I mean, there's different things you can do to take private custody to truly be sovereign over that money. If you leave your Bitcoin and it accumulates a lot in River, River's a custodian. They're not, they're no different than any other bank. It could be seized from you, right? You have to take control of your Bitcoin. So you've got to join us for 1776 Live and take that class. You can go to 1776live.us. Enough of Bitcoin. So now we're talking about Iran. And remember, this conflict in Iran has to deal with elections, it has to deal with terrorism, it has to do with nuclear weapons, and it has to do with money. These all tie in together, which is why Scott Bessant. Did we ever hear the Secretary of the Treasury come out and give us war updates on Iraq?

SPEAKER_13 1:21:02

No.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:03

And you remember ever hearing from them? No. Do you remember the Secretary of the Treasury coming out and giving us updates on the status of the conflict in Afghanistan?

SPEAKER_14 1:21:13

No, I mean the first one was Norman Schwartzkoff, and then who was in the second one?

SPEAKER_10 1:21:18

Never, ever, ever did you hear from the Department of Treasury when it came to these issues? No. So when Scott Bessent gets on the news and he starts talking about this stuff, remember this is about elections. This is about nuclear weapons, this is about terrorism and peace in the Middle East. And also, this is about money. This is Scott Bessent talking about the status of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Thank you for your time here.

SPEAKER_11 1:21:45

Thanks for you, Villendana. Let's start with the top-line headline that's happening right now. Two U.S. flag merchant ships have gone through the Hormuz Strait. What can you tell us about where we are today as we begin a new week in the blockade?

SPEAKER_04 1:21:59

Yeah, so let's level set here. I think the Iranians are starting to believe their own propaganda. And just to be clear, the leadership is they uh hunkered down in bunkers all over the country. And you know, I don't think they know what's going on. But what is going on is that you know they're reduced. Their navy is not a navy anymore. It's a band of pirates. They are trying to uh cut off international freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormos, and the U.S. is opening that up. This is a humanitarian effort. I can tell you, two weeks ago was IMF World Bank Week in Washington, and I had numerous countries come up to me, some of the poorest, some of the most vulnerable, and ask us to do this because it's not only energy that's in there, it's fertilizer, it's food transport, it's LPG for the more than bil that more than the billion plus people in India use to cook. So we are saying uh the Iranians do not have control of the strait. We have absolute control of the strait. We have blockaded the ships going into or out of Iranian ports, their economy is in free fall, and everyone says they have a uh high tolerance for pain. Well, their soldiers will not have a high tolerance for not getting paid.

SPEAKER_24 1:23:15

Senator Reid believes that we are in a worse-off economic position because of Iran. Let's watch him hear he was on this week.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:23

Strategically, we're in in, in many respects, a much worse position. The trade of her moos is blockaded. Uh, we're seeing incredible impacts economically in the United States and oil prices, fertilizer prices. Uh the world itself is uh shuddering under some of these economic blows. So uh this has been a tactical uh demonstration of prowess, but has not achieved the strategic goals that the president announced.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:51

How would you respond to Senator Reed? I would say unfortunately, Senator Reed, who had a distinguished military career, has now joined the surrender lobby. That uh this has been going on for three weeks, that the Iranian economy is in free fall. And to uh be clear here, this is an international humanitarian operation. We are opening the strait. The Iranians do not have control of the strait, and for him to say that, it's sad he believes the Iranian propaganda.

SPEAKER_11 1:24:19

There was this report from the overnight that the United States Navy, uh, in a measure of good faith, returned an Iranian vessel, not to Iran, but to the Pakistanis. I think there were at least a dozen Iranians on board, and it was seen as a sign of a good faith. Uh, was Project Freedom done in coordination with Iran today?

SPEAKER_04 1:24:39

Uh absolutely not. Project freedom is something that that's been in the in the worst. And we would encourage the Iranians to let these more than 300 vessels leave. That you know, they they can fire on them. You know, they're they're, I think it's called the Mosquito Navy, they is being swatted. Uh numerous ships, maybe in double digits, have been destroyed. And the U.S., we are just firing if fired upon. We are not the provocateurs here. But if the Iranians want to escalate here, we are willing to escalate.

SPEAKER_11 1:25:10

This is clearly a test of Iran, as well, as we speak, correct?

SPEAKER_04 1:25:14

Uh it it is a test of Iran. But those again, this is a ragtag band of pirates that they the great U.S. military. We've destroyed their Air Force, we've destroyed the uh all of their conventional Navy, the uh their battle lines along the straits have been destroyed. So uh we we are saying for the good of the international community, let these ships out. And we are expecting our international partners to engage in the same thing. Now would be a good time for our international partners to step up and put pressure on Iran.

SPEAKER_24 1:25:50

Um, and the economy, as you said, is in free fall in Iran as well. So that's another lever. Uh, here in America, gas prices triple H.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:56

Yeah, pretty cool there. So this operation Project Freedom is completely separate from Epicurie. This is getting the boats out of the strait. Two boats came out yesterday. I've heard numbers from 300 to 1,000 boats that are still stuck in the strait. Hopefully they all get escorted out, and that would kind of be the end of it. That's the end of Iran's leverage. The leverage they have right now is keeping those boats stuck in the port between Lloyds of London, who won't ensure them going through, and the mosquito pirate boats that are coming out and you know, attacking them. That's a problem. Now, they did fire on some boats. I don't think the two U.S. boats, but the the United States Navy took out, I think, three or four boats from this mosquito, you know, these little quick boats that are they're literally just they're the drug boats that we saw in Iran, right? Or coming out of Venezuela. It's the same, same kind of thing. This is Trey Yanks talking about what Donald Trump said. If they don't let these ships out, he's just gonna start picking off these small boats. With President Trump moments ago, he's live from Tel Aviv for us. Hello, Trey.

SPEAKER_23 1:27:18

Remember, this was a project implemented by the Americans overnight to assist the hundreds of vessels that are currently trapped in the Persian Gulf. We're talking about more than 20,000 sailors. And the president told Fox he's doing this for humanity. Some of these sailors were running out of food and supplies on these vessels due to the Iranian threats that are ongoing in this area. And again, the president's saying that if U.S. ships in the region are targeted, the Iranians will be blown off the face of the earth. Now, I also asked President Trump about the possibility of negotiations with Iran succeeding. He said the Iranians are being far more malleable than they were being in the past, showing flexibility given the U.S. pressure that continues as part of the American blockade of Iranian ports. President Trump called that blockade the greatest military maneuver in history. As it relates to the combat preparations that continue across the region, President Trump understands there are two paths here. The Iranians either make a good faith deal or ultimately combat operations could resume. And President Trump told Fox News that right now they have bases all over the world. There are American preparations underway. He said they're all stocked with equipment, and we can use all of that stuff. And if he needs it, he will use it. But the headline here stands the president issuing a new warning to the Iranian regime if they do fire on U.S. vessels in the Persian Gulf or near the Strait of Ramuz. And today we can report, according to CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper, there were multiple attempts on American vessels and merchant ships in this region. And Cooper says that there were U.S. efforts to shoot down both missiles and drones in the Persian Gulf as these Iranian efforts to attack vessels in the region continue. Sandra? All right.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:58

So uh he gets those books out of the Strait of Hormous, this thing's pretty much over. Because that that's all the leverage Iran has left. Pete Hegsa in his press conference yesterday talked about this project freedom. And one of the challenges that the Iranians have, whose whole culture is based on honor and pride and whatever, right? Is they're embarrassed by the fact that they've just been summarily defeated. And like Scott Besson says, they're all hiding out in bunkers, and the only one really doing any fighting now are these little pirates, and somebody launched a missile, I guess. But they're gonna get these boats out of there, and this thing's gonna wrap up. So my dear friend over at the uh Republican Party that was upset about gas prices, a couple things. You got Venezuela putting gas online, you've got UAE leaving OPEC, they're gonna start shipping out oil at market rate, not controlled by OPEC's price setting. You've got, you know, that's Terry uh Trey Yanks and Tel Aviv. Doesn't look like they were sirens in the background. Haven't heard of a missile being shot at Israel in a little bit. Sounds like things are settling down. Here's Pete Hex up.

SPEAKER_09 1:30:00

What we're demonstrating with Project Freedom is they don't control this trade. I mean, we know Iran is embarrassed by the fact that our blockade is holding and we can run ships through, and we're gonna help the world run ships through. Uh and if they hold it at issue, uh the whole world knows who's doing it. It's not us. We're willing to open it up. Uh, it's Iran, and and that creates a dilemma for them. We hope they make a deal. But what we're demonstrating with. I hope they make a deal.

Oil Supply Shifts And Venezuela Deals

SPEAKER_10 1:30:23

They could easily make it go over. This is Scott Bessant talking about the significance of the UAE coming out of OPEC. I think even if the Iran conflict doesn't officially resolve with some huge peace deal, right? Get those boats out of the strait, and then you factor in the fact that that UAE came out of OPEC, this is probably gonna drop our prices.

SPEAKER_24 1:30:43

Say to the American consumer that help is on the way.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:46

We you have it in mind. Help is on the way as as of today. The the way to think about it is the market, because the of the conflict around the strait is in deficit about 10 million barrels a day, between eight and ten million barrels a day right now. So every crew carrier that goes through has about two million barrels. So four or five crew carriers a day coming through of the pinup demand. We think there's there are more than 150, 200 crew carriers that can come out. So I think the market's gonna be very well supplied. The other thing, too, is I am confident on the other side of this, the world's gonna be a wash in oil. The UAE has come out of OPEC, they're going to be pumping more. OPEC just announced they're gonna be pumping more, and the U.S. has record crude deliveries. We are the number one energy superpower in the world, and we have never delivered so much crude.

SPEAKER_10 1:31:38

Say it today. Sounds like prices are poised to drop. Prices are poised to drop. And they've said that from the beginning. This has obviously taken longer than they had hoped, but you know, there's a blueprint here. There's a model for success that Iran can use. It's the model that Venezuela took. Dulcie Rodriguez down in Venezuela, she took the she took the second door. They're making more money than ever. They're making more money than ever. They're striking deals. This is uh the NEDC executive director Jared Jared Agin on Squawkbox yesterday talking about this deal in Venezuela. Things are changing in our hemisphere.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:17

Great trip. Uh, huge celebration of the partnership that exists today, thanks to President Trump between Venezuela and the United States. Look, President Trump is a man of action. He wants to see progress, he wants to see action take place. And you saw action and progress in three important sectors. Transportation, the first daily flights backed from the U.S. to Venezuela, energy, oil and gas. You saw three independent oil and gas companies, new entrants, signing deals with Venezuela, and on mining. You saw a huge landmark mining deal, the first of its kind for gold, for coal into Venezuela. All of these are showing the tremendous progress in just a short period of time between the U.S. and Venezuela. That's exactly the kind of message we want to send to the world that that relationship is strong, that now you have flights going down there. So it's now it's now employees, it's people interested in investing, it's people interested in being down there and seeing their family members coming down to Venezuela. There was a huge party in Miami of people interested and wanting to go down. And then even on top of that, American Airlines, on the very day of the first flight, they came out and announced they're going to do two to two trips a day now down to Venezuela. So the progress is happening at Trump speed. This would have taken months, if not years, to get to this point, and we're seeing it in in a matter of weeks. That's Trump speed, that's the kind of stuff we're doing on our side, and you're seeing the same on the Venezuelan side.

Actually, we gotta the biggest tip came in in Ethereum.

SPEAKER_14 1:36:16

Oh.

UFO Disclosure And Why Pastors Got Briefed

SPEAKER_10 1:36:16

Yeah, biggest tip came in through Ethereum. So competition. Yeah, competition. We'll have to figure that out. We don't, we're not soliciting Ethereum. I don't want you to send me a bunch of Dogecoin, but you know, we'll take what we can get. Okay, guys, we're gonna jump over to private and keeping with the theme that this is a conspiracy show because the truth is stranger than fiction. We're gonna be moving on from Bigfoot. As the guy who had the frozen Bigfoot said, he thought that those were biological recording devices for the Grays. We are gonna be talking about the ETs, the UFOs, and the space aliens and the upcoming disclosure that we are about to have. All right, guys, we will talk to you in private, and the rest of you will see you again tomorrow. Okay. So here we are in private. And uh the this is an interesting thing. This came from uh uh Perry Stone. So Pastor Perry Stone got summoned to DC to a conference on the UFO disclosure. Uh-huh. He and a bunch of other pastors got summoned to the UFO disclosure. Remember what I said the other day? I said, I think this alien thing, that the reason they haven't disclosed it for years and years and years was because they believed it would disrupt religion.

SPEAKER_14 1:37:25

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_10 1:37:26

So isn't it interesting that they summoned a bunch of pastors to DC to talk about this disclosure thing?

SPEAKER_14 1:37:30

Yeah, that's kind of why I leaned in.

Interdimensional Beings Or Future Humans

SPEAKER_26 1:37:32

It's like a friend that sent me a text message. I was in a uh meeting, uh, a weekend meeting, preaching uh Friday, uh Saturday, and Sunday morning, and he said, Perry, can you give me a call? I have some information that has come to my attention. Of course, when a friend of yours does that that you know quite well, you're not you have no idea what uh information they're talking about. And I'm not gonna go into great detail, but there were um a large number of pastors that had been invited to go to a certain state to hear some men in the United States government and others share with them a concern that they had, and this particular man, and I'll not name him, and then we may end up doing some teachings with him or having an event at his church as great church, but he said, Perry, what you're what they're about to release from what we're hearing, is going to be a release concerning uh aliens and concerning uh unidentified flying object spacecraft that some of the people who were in the meeting were telling us as pastors you need to prepare your people and you need to get ready to answer them for what you're about to hear being released. And some of it has to do with crafts that have been discovered that are not allegedly a part of our planet, and the materials they're made of are not a part of our planet. Uh very strange reptilian-looking creatures, and other things that almost sound like something out of a sci-fi movie or an Orson Wells book.

SPEAKER_10 1:39:34

I had a friend that it's coming, Ron. It's coming. They got the pastors in. Listen, you need answers. The answer is gonna be what J.D. Vance said, and it's what Burkhart says. It's not aliens, it's demons and angels. That's what it's gonna be. It's demons and angels. That's that's the direction they're gonna try to take it. Anna Polina Luna was on with um Miranda Devine. Miranda Devine is the one who broke the Hunter Biden laptop story at the New York Post. She's a real reporter, okay? And she had Anna Polina Luna on. I apologize for the background music, but Anna Polina Luna is one of the leading uh congresswoman that has been in the skiffs, has gotten all these briefings. They kind of sent her to go do the UFO disclosure thing to die, and it's turned out to be like a big thing because Trump's like, yeah, I'll disclose everything. So she says, We're going to find out things that are going to be pretty shocking for us.

SPEAKER_20 1:40:25

So I've the internet interdimensional beings is what our witnesses will call these things. Um I have seen evidence interdimensional beings in a skiff that leads me to believe there are things we cannot explain, and I have observed things um that are of non-human origin and creation. That's my opinion. Um again, but there has been a declassification order from the president, and you will see as soon as that stuff comes up.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:51

Right. So do you think that the American public's gonna be super surprised when this comes out, or is it gonna be a bit of a nothing burger?

SPEAKER_20 1:40:58

Well, I don't think it'll be a nothing burger, but you know, we're not gonna tell the American people what to make of it, but I think, you know.

SPEAKER_10 1:41:05

Your pastor will.

SPEAKER_20 1:41:07

When again, you saw my last hearing that I did with the task force where there was some footage that was entered into the archive and it's pretty shocking for people. I don't know much tech that can deflect the hellfire of mythful. I don't know about you. But um, you know, I think so. So what do you think you'll see?

SPEAKER_07 1:41:25

So what do you you know, if you had to just make uh a decision now about whether they really were, I guess, aliens moving among us with their strange machines that have all sorts of powers. Do you think that's plausible?

SPEAKER_20 1:41:41

I don't call them aliens, and I don't know what these things are that they're using, right? Um, but I think that there's stuff that we have witnessed as members of Congress um been briefed on that we cannot explain. And I will leave it at that because that's going to be coming out soon. And I think that we may have many of their questions answered. But you know, there's stuff declassified years ago out of the Pentagon, multiple videos, Tic Tacs. Uh, I think Tucker Carlson family actually had just shown one of the videos. Uh, it looked like a pyramid that was flying around. And you know, people see it, they're like, Yep, we knew it, and then they move on. So I don't think that, you know, the earth is gonna stop moving. But I think that for a lot of people that are paying attention, it's just confirmation of kind of something that we already suspected.

SPEAKER_10 1:42:22

Yeah, yeah. Just like when 9-11 the towers hit. You just went to work. Hey, there's reptilians chasing your kids down dark alleys. I gotta get up at 6 a.m. to show up at the oil field. You know what I mean, right? Funny boy? You know, it's like, oh, we still gotta pump the oil. Hey, there's anti-gravity. Ah, well, whatever. I gotta go roll up my four tires. So you remember Amy Askridge? She was she was murdered in 2022, suicide, whatever, right? One of the missing scientists. One of the missing scientists. So remember I told you she did this long video. She wasn't really a podcast, it was just some kind of chit-chat interview. She's got a fork in her hand, she's like eating food while she does it. It was about 50 minutes long. And this was a clip out of there where she talks about who these beings are. So Anna Polina Luna says they're going to tell you. Notice how she said they're going to tell you they're interdimensional beings. You've got others that think that they're just straight up aliens from other planets. Now she was an anti-gravity researcher. And she was, you know, if you go listen to this podcast or this uh, I don't know, podcast interview, whatever it was, very compelling. You're like, this sounds like she's got a real inside track to what's going on. She proposes that these are not aliens and that the fact that they're interdimensional is because they're time traveling. She says they're us from the future.

SPEAKER_19 1:43:43

So the ultraterrestrials, I'll just tell you, they're us from the future. They're from here. They are you, they are me, they're from here from the future. Have you heard of the P52s and the P47s? Do you know what that is? P47 is present plus 47,000 years. P52 is present plus 52,000 years. And basically there's a calamity, right? So there's like an apocalypse scenario in the near future. It wipes out most of like everything, man. And there's the ones that go underground and survive, right? And then there's the ones that somehow stay on the surface and miraculously don't die.

SPEAKER_10 1:44:36

So the ultra-terrestrials all just what they are is it's a competing factions of future us that are coming back to our time before the calamity to try to make sure people get underground or people survive on the surface.

SPEAKER_14 1:44:49

So it's still the Republicans and Democrats fighting.

SPEAKER_10 1:44:53

It's the Republican farmers that won't leave the farm. It's the Democrats that go into their deep underground dumb bases, right? Yeah, exactly. Carlita says the space race is back or time travel is here. One or I guess we'll see. So we'll wait for the disclosures and then we'll we'll decide and we'll see. And you know, the pastor's probably gonna tell people it's aliens and or it's uh demons and angels to just keep the theme going.

SPEAKER_14 1:45:17

How does how does this affect your uh religious paradigm? For me, it doesn't affect it at all. Me either.

SPEAKER_10 1:45:24

It doesn't affect it at all.

SPEAKER_14 1:45:25

Yeah, but so I don't know what these pastors were gonna tell their people that was gonna, you know, smooth things over, or I don't know.

SPEAKER_10 1:45:33

Whatever keeps the flock intact and the ties are flowing, but keeps the flock intact and the ties are bone. And I'm not anti-religion by any means, not anti-religion by any means, but you know, you have to understand the organization of things. You know, Donald Trump is gonna be the biggest America cheerleader no matter how weird it is that American corporations are carving up Venezuela. And no matter what religious background you got, no matter what religious background you got, exactly. But pretty interesting to think that these interdimensional beings might actually just be us from the future, the survivors of a coming apocalypse, which you know lines up with everybody's apocalyptic beliefs. So I have a t-shirt that says, y'all need Jesus, I'm gonna wear it. Y'all need Jesus and Bitcoin, just in case the apocalypse doesn't come. Just in case the apocalypse doesn't come. All right, guys, thank you so much. We will talk to you again tomorrow. Bye.

SPEAKER_18 1:47:03

I did say something about the old woman. Did you get that? Hanging on to a taking empirical dogma, which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. Is there ever gonna be any progress? How do you do, good lady? Um king of the Britons. Whose castle is that? The Britons. We all we are all Britons. I am your king. You're authoring yourself. We're living in a country. Stop perpetuating autocracy in which the working class is. That's what it's all about. Who lives in that castle? Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. What? I told you. We're in a narco syndicalist commune. We take it in turn to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. Yes. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting. I order you to be quiet. I'm your king. The lady of the lake. Excalibur from the bottom of the water. Signified by Excalibur. That is what you're king. Listen, strange women, nothing important. Distributive sources no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power from a mandate from the business, not from some philosophy or aquatic speech. You can't expect the world supreme executive power. Just because some or retro saw that it's all right. Just because some motion speaks to symmetry.
