Gas Prices And The Politics Of Blame

Gas at four bucks, rent still biting, and everyone on TV pointing fingers somewhere else. We start with the argument you hear constantly: presidents don’t control gas prices. Then we put real-world pressure on that line by talking energy policy, futures markets, refinery capacity, taxes, Keystone XL, and the geopolitical shocks that ripple through the global oil supply, from Iran and the Strait of Hormuz to Venezuela and Cuba. If you’ve ever wondered why the story changes depending on who’s in power, we break down how blame gets assigned and why working families feel the impact long before politicians feel consequences.

From there, we zoom out to the broader “peasants” view: cartel enforcement, housing affordability, rent declines in some markets, and what it means when home values fall after inflation runs hot. We also dig into DC as a snapshot of governance, including cleanup projects and public safety, then pivot into why modern polling struggles to measure Trump’s base and how institutional distrust distorts everything from surveys to elections to public debate.

The back half goes straight at power: projection, weaponized justice, counterterror priorities, violent protest movements, and the idea that you can’t comply your way out of tyranny. We talk through what “follow the money” looks like, why ideology becomes dangerous when it turns into permission to harm, and why civic involvement is the only antidote that scales.

Peasants Perspective Kickoff And Sip

SPEAKER_25 0:42

Peasants, man. We're just peasants. Every one of us. You watch the little movies, you see the peasants in the background with the kings and kings walking around, but we're those people. We're those people. Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. Sorry we're a couple minutes late. Had a couple technical difficulties on the front end. Had to get a new memory disc. It's a wonderful day and sunny day in Boise, Idaho from Ferrazier. Good morning, Carlito and Tiffany. Carlitz, good morning, everyone. John Attackis, but late, but always good, worth the wait. Oh, you're you're making our hearts swell. Thank you so much. Well, we'll jump right on in it to it today. And I know why you guys were waiting bright and early, 6 30 a.m. Monday through Friday, Pacific time. You were here for the simultaneous sip. And all you need for that is a cup or a mug, a glass, a tankard, a chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip. And it starts right now.

SPEAKER_29 1:53

Why guns? You guys can fucking help out.

SPEAKER_28 2:10

Man, they're shooting everybody down there. That's crazy. Guns.

SPEAKER_25 2:18

He's talking about Canada.

SPEAKER_24 2:21

Guns. You guys can help out. That was pretty funny.

Who Controls Gas Prices Really

SPEAKER_25 2:26

Monizo, good morning, son. Oh, mom, thanks for being here. Gentini, good morning. You know, it is kind of special. My mom and dad tune in like every day. They're like our most consistent listeners, right up there with Pony Boy, Carlitz, Gentini, you know, the whole cast of them. Love you guys so much. You make it worth it. You stress Ron out because you know he knows you're there waiting for us. Right at the start of every day. All right. So I wanted to address something first thing this morning. Gas prices. Oh. I want to do a little retrospective. Because remember, a lot of people right now are upset about gas prices. Remember, yeah, the other day I was sharing the experience in uh at the Republican Party when one guy was kind of panicking about gas prices. And I need you guys to remember something, right? The president has nothing to do with gas prices. This is Joe Biden's Secretary of Energy. Obviously.

SPEAKER_14 3:18

So to be really clear, obviously, the president um does not control the price of gasoline. No president does. Um, but what we're seeing right now is this global mismatch between supply and demand. Oil production is lagging behind as the rest of the economy roars back uh to life after the shutdowns, obviously.

SPEAKER_25 3:44

So as you can see, the president, no president has anything to do with the price of gas. It was no coincidence that Joe Biden or Barack Obama had$4 a gallon gas. Trump came in and went down to$2. I remember the day, January 20th, 2021. I remember taking a picture of diesel at a buck 87. And I was like, this is not gonna last. Sure enough, Joe Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, futures went up, gas prices went up, and we floated around$4 a gas for most of Joe Biden's presidency. Now, that started happening immediately after he was inaugurated. However, by the time Russia invaded Ukraine, the blame shifted.

SPEAKER_34 4:42

Of course, there will be subcommittee hearing on price gouging that is taking place by some companies that are making record profits. But instead of passing savings along to the American people, pouring it into stock buybacks and wealthy shareholders becoming even wealthier at the expense of the American people. And we're gonna make sure that the full story is told, both as it relates to Putin's price hike connected to gas prices, as well as some of the price gouging that is taking place uh this week.

SPEAKER_27 5:28

Okay, do you think that our radio show would be better if we all talked like that? What the hell is wrong with him?

SPEAKER_24 5:44

It's dollar store Obama's trying to get the dollar store Obama. It is really hard to talk like that. It is hard to talk like that.

SPEAKER_25 5:52

Okay, so we shifted from no president controls the prices of gas. What are you talking about? Getting rid of the Keystone XL pipeline and canceling oil and gas drilling leases and shutting off huge portions of the United States to gas and oil drilling. That doesn't affect prices. This is about price gouging, this is about stock buybacks, billionaires patting their pockets, and of course, Putin's gas price. Now, on November 21st, 2021, before Putin invaded Ukraine, this was the Secretary of Energy under Joe Biden again on Bloomberg laughing about gas prices.

SPEAKER_47 6:31

Let me cut to it if I may. In Sturgis, Michigan, it is two dollars eighty-nine cents a gallon. I guess that's better than in California. What is the gran home plan to increase oil production in America?

SPEAKER_46 6:48

Oh, that is hilarious. The national average now topping four dollars for the first time since 2008. March 22 is only 11 cents away from an old-time record. In California,$4 a gallon would be a relief. The average there is$5.28. Prices at this shell station in Los Angeles hitting nearly seven dollars.

SPEAKER_25 7:11

I I just want to point that out.$7 in LA under Joe Biden before Putin invaded. March of 2022. So we're talking a year after Biden was inaugurated, year two months.$7 in LA, four dollars around the country. Yeah. Oh.

SPEAKER_13 7:35

I'm head of the Department of Energy, we're the solutions department.$100 and it's needed in the full tank. That is hilarious. I'm head of the Department of Energy. We're the Solutions Department.

SPEAKER_27 7:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_25 7:50

The music makes it sound like SC TV or something. Yeah, no kidding. Chantini, I like that guy, the comedian. Yeah, he's kind of funny. He's you know, lots of swear words. Almost lost my dad right at the beginning of the show there. He's like, oh, strike one! He strikes, I turn it off. Pray the Rosary Daily, good morning. And of course, Madden Mim, the hottest lady on the planet. Good morning to you as well. You guys can guess who she is. It's my wife. I'm not gonna guess. Are you kidding me? I'm not gonna guess. All right, so I just wanted to point that out because this is a big hurting people, right? We have listeners of the show who really struggle with the gas prices. Like, you know, not everybody, a lot of us peasants, just barely make enough to get by month-to-month. So when gas prices double, it's a huge hit to the pocketbook. When Trump came in, gas prices reduced by 50%. I mean, they went from$4 a gallon down to$2 a gallon. So the president does have a lot to do with gas prices, but it is a worldwide market. You can't discount this fact, right? The world, the, the, the, the oil gets drilled, and maybe Pony Boy, if he understands how this works, but the oil gets drilled by the droil drillers, it gets sent and traded on the commodities market, the refineries buy it, and then they sell a bit, distribute it to whoever they've got distribution contracts with and stuff like that. So, you know, it's and the whole world needs oil. And yes, the Strait of Horror moves being shut off is affecting the price of gasoline. When Putin invaded Ukraine, that did have an impact on the price of gasoline. However, the price was already high before Putin invaded because of the president's policy decisions. It has a lot to do with the price of oil. I personally believe, and I'm fairly confident with this, as soon as that Strait of Hormuz opens up, we're going to see gas prices plummet to even lower than they were before the Iran excursion. Okay. And why do I think that? One, because Venezuela is now online. They're pumping oil into the world market under our direct supervision. You've got a new refinery open in Houston. That opened kind of right at the beginning of this year. That's a big deal. First new refinery in 50 years. You have oil and gas drilling in California and off the coast of California that hasn't happened in 25, 30 years, something like that. Trump just signed a new pipeline deal. It won't be open right away, but what that does affect is the futures market, which has a direct impact on prices. Um, and the United States is pumping more oil than ever. And UAE left OPEC, which means they're gonna pump to capacity. So I think what's gonna happen is we're gonna see worldwide gas prices go down. Countries like China and Cuba, they're gonna have to pay for their gas. They're gonna have to pay whatever the market rate is, and it's gonna be the same rate everybody else pays. Now, your price at the pump, there's a lot of things that affect individual gas stations and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_27 10:49

But this is well, and here in Washington, we'll never see$2 a gallon again gas again.

Cuba Sanctions And Communist Spin

SPEAKER_25 10:55

Well, not when you have a$1.65 or$1.80 tax on it. That's I mean, that's the baseline. If they sell you a penny of gas, you're paying a buck eighty-six. That's exactly what I was gonna say. Yeah, it's bad. Now, for Mala Jaya Pal, right, representative coming out of the Seattle area into the house. Did you know she's a communist? You kind of knew this, right? Yeah, but did you know she made a recent trip to Cuba?

SPEAKER_27 11:19

No, I did not.

SPEAKER_25 11:20

Yeah, it's pretty stunning. So she gives this little speech here, and I'm not exactly sure where she's at. She's got a LaCroix down by her feet, but she's giving this speech. This is one of those like kind of jaw droppers. Jaw droppers. Seattle's got a lot of problems. There's a lot of things that she could be working on, but listen to where she puts her energy right now and what countries she's trying to support, and listen to the way she phrases things.

SPEAKER_05 11:46

In the January, um, Trump issued an executive order threatening tariffs on any country supplying fuel to Cuba. This was this January, just a few months ago. And oil shipments from Venezuela, that's where Cuba had been getting its oil, were halted after the US operations to kidnap Nicolas Maduro. Kidnap. Did we kidnap him?

SPEAKER_25 12:09

Or did we just arrest him?

SPEAKER_27 12:10

Well, I mean that's how you frame it, I guess.

SPEAKER_25 12:12

Yeah, that's one way to frame it. After we kidnapped him. Now, Cuba buying oil, okay. Cuba.

SPEAKER_27 12:20

And what I wanted to say before this clip even started was see if you can tell if she's American.

SPEAKER_25 12:26

It's hard to know. Hard to know. Cuba, when it comes to communists around the world, Cuba exchanges its intelligence services to prop up communism. Cubans and the people who run Cuba are the most diehard communists on the planet. Okay. Even China has become mercantilistic. They have a capitalist semi-capitalist economic system because true economic socialism implodes relatively quickly. They tried it, kind of imploded. In the 1980s, they had a lot of liberalization after Tiananmen Square. The Bushes came in and said, hey, we won't hold you accountable for Tinan Square if you enter the world market. We gave them world trade status. I remember I was here in Seattle during the WTO riots back in what was it, 2001. Okay. So that's when they were given most favored nation status. So even they don't really do the economic communism thing quite the same as Cuba.

SPEAKER_27 13:23

Well, they have to they have to be able to work with contracts and they have to be able to fulfill them reliably.

SPEAKER_25 13:29

And they cheat, and there's nothing good about it. Okay, but you can't look at them and go, hey, these guys don't believe in markets. Like, no, they do believe in markets, they take advantage of markets, they cheat the markets, but they but they're involved in markets. Cuba does not. Okay, Cuba does not. Cuba is diehard communist, and it's totally failed. You hear Democrats commonly reference the Cuban healthcare system as like an example of good healthcare. Ask a Cuban if it's good healthcare, right? On paper, they make it look like it's great, except nobody can get services down there unless you're in the the elite. This is the difference between what I was talking about with China.

SPEAKER_27 14:09

You gotta be able to, you gotta be able to manage contracts. If you don't have a system where you can manage contracts, you got nothing.

SPEAKER_25 14:16

Yeah. But Cuba has infiltrated a lot of governments around the world. Their intelligence services have. They play that game really, really well, and then they get the scraps, right? Oil from Venezuela, Russia sent them a boat, you know, that kind of stuff. So let's continue here.

SPEAKER_05 14:33

Since January, only one Russian tanker of oil has made it to Cuba. In fact, it landed just a couple of days before I landed.

SPEAKER_25 14:43

Wait, what? You went to Cuba? I mean, we knew this, but you went to Cuba? Like, what are you doing in Cuba? Guys, these are communists. These aren't Democrats, these are communists.

SPEAKER_05 14:55

And one tanker has enough oil basically for 10 to 14 days of Cuba's oil needs. So it's a very limited amount of time now. Russia has said they're going to send another tanker. Um, I was in conversations with the ambassadors uh from Mexico and some other places, and I know other countries in Latin America are trying to figure out how to get oil there. It is a crisis beyond imagination. Just this past Friday, on May 1st, Trump signed a broad executive order that widens sanctions and allows for new penalty, similar to what we have for Iran and Russia, I guess, foreign based and firms that are dealing with Cuba, and it also reinforces the ban on US tourism. I have called these sanctions an economic bombing of the infrastructure of Cuba. It is illegal, it is against the war, but you're talking about this. Iran, obviously, to bomb the infrastructure of any country. That is against international law. This is essentially doing the same thing. It is bombing the infrastructure of Cuba with economic sanctions that essentially ensure that the infrastructure collapses in January.

Iran War Updates And Oil Routes

SPEAKER_25 16:16

And the Cuban people are like, yes, let's do this. Right? Nick Shirley went down there and they're like, man, we've been suffering. We've had blackouts. So what? If this collapses the Cuban government, thank goodness. I'm afraid of sharks. That's the only reason I reason I haven't gotten on a raft and headed to Florida. You know, that but she went to Cuba. There's a ban on tourism. She went to Cuba a few days before they turned the lights back on for her when the Russian tanker arrived. Donald Trump was like, for humanitarian reasons, I'll let it go there. He didn't want to show down with Russia at this point. Like, let's be honest. That's when I saw that clip and she talked about Nicholas Maduro being kidnapped. I'm like, so you're cool with drugs being trafficked into America. You're cool with Trendai Agua taking over apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado. Like I met Trendaiagua people in prison. They think they're on deployment. Just like we send soldiers over to Afghanistan for 18 months at a time, to them coming to the United States and serving a prison years, a prison sentence for a few years, that's just part of deployment. The cartel was paying their families back home. Clearly on the side of crime. Oh my gosh. It's that's like us just that speech alone should almost be disqualifying. It should really almost be disqualifying. Now, Trump, with this excursion into Iran, he was prepared to take a significant hit to the U.S. economy. Obviously, he knew gas prices would go up. He'd pave the way by dealing with Venezuela, getting a hold of their oil, and obviously increasing the supply here in the United States. So he'd kind of set up a situation where we could be the vendor of choice for all these nations that need oil. And to my understanding, the Gulf of America is packed with boats heading to Texas and Louisiana to fill up and take oil. Like Japan just got a shipment of oil that was filled up in the Gulf of America, exited out the Panama Canal, and headed to Japan. So we're now becoming the supplier of oil around the world. This is good for the American economy and the US dollar. This is not a bad thing. Does it hurt at the pump? Sure. Do we wish that we could keep our prices low? Yeah. Unfortunately, that's just not how markets work. If we do price fixing, then what happens is we end up with high prices. And when the communists are in charge, they just take the money. At least when the market's free, when the communists aren't in charge, we can pay a lower price. So here's Donald Trump talking about gas prices will go down when this issue with I when I with Iran is resolved, but he was prepared for the stock market to take a huge hit too.

SPEAKER_37 18:40

Go there and elsewhere. We just hit a new high of the stock market. The stock market's the highest it's ever been. And I expected that the market would be down 20, 25%. I was willing to do that to get rid of a crazy country. Crazy. The people, like you know, you talk about regime change. Their first level leaders are dead, their second level leaders are dead, some of their third level leaders are dead. I call that regime change. But uh I thought we'd be down maybe 20% and we're up. Stock markets higher now than when we started this war. And I thought all prices would go to$200,000,$250 just at$100 now. And I think you're surprised, and I'm surprised. But even if it went to$200, uh, it would have been worth it. I understand that we had just set a record$50,000 on the Dow,$7,000 for the SP, a record. And I said, I hate to do this, but we have to make uh an excursion down.

SPEAKER_25 19:42

So whenever I mention my parts of my life story, people are sometimes amazed because a lot of people's life have like this independent trajectory. So back when I lived in Japan, did you know that I lived in Japan? I I barely, but I do. Barely remembered. I lived in Japan for four years. I was a little kid. But Mata Easel, my mom, points out when we lived in Japan 40 years ago, can't believe I'm that old. Gas was five dollars a liter back then. That's what that's like ten dollars a gallon.

SPEAKER_27 20:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_25 20:10

So that was that was way back then. Now that was coming off the OPEC oil embargo in the early 80s. I'm sure the prices were still inflated from that. And I mean, how far do you have to drive in Japan? I mean, everything's like close, it's just a tiny little island. Do they even have the geographic territory of Washington State? Um, it's probably close. Yeah, probably not much more.

SPEAKER_27 20:32

We're a big square, they're like a they're kind of like a California long, and they they have uh winter up in the north and summer down in the south all the time.

SPEAKER_25 20:42

Yeah. So so I just saw I don't I don't have this clip pulled up for the show because I had no relevance, but it was the top of Mount Fuji, and uh some Chinese guy was up there with a uh Chinese flag, and a United States Marine was also on the top of Mount Fuji, and he had a Japanese flag because he was in Japan. And so they had a little go at it there at the top of Mount Fuji. So the war in Iran, we're on, we're off, we're on, we're off. It sounds like we are getting close to off. This is Trey Yanks reporting that there's been quite a bit of progress in the last 24 hours on a peace deal of some sort with Iran.

SPEAKER_45 21:22

We are getting new details on the American proposal to end the war with Iran. The Wall Street Journal reports the new U.S. proposal includes Iran handing over all enriched material, a 20-year ban on enrichment, a declaration that Iran doesn't seek nuclear weapons, Iran dismantling key nuclear facilities, inspections if violations do occur, and a ban on underground nuclear work. Iran's foreign ministry says the regime is still examining in the memorandum, but a response is expected in the hours or days ahead. President Trump spoke about the prospects of an agreement on Wednesday.

SPEAKER_37 21:57

And uh now we're doing well. To get what we have to get. If we don't do that, we'll have to go a big step further. But with that being said, uh, they want to make a deal. We've had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it's very possible that we'll make a deal.

SPEAKER_45 22:16

This comes as we're tracking developments out of the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman, where Central Command says an Iranian-flagged vessel attempted to breach the U.S. naval blockade on Wednesday. The tanker was warned multiple times before U.S. forces fired on the ship. The shots came from the 20 millimeter Gatling gun of an FA 18 Super Hornet that took off from the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. As the region waits to see what comes next, Israel is continuing its offensive action against Iran's largest proxy, Hezbollah, launching a new strike against the group's war advances in Beirut overnight.

SPEAKER_06 23:00

I will also speak with President Trump later tonight. There is full coordination between us, and there are no surprises.

SPEAKER_25 23:28

John Atka says, I climbed Mount Fuji. I do remember that, Dad. It was probably a lack of oxygen. Mount Fuji is generally climbed in one day. And I know, and in perfect Japanese fashion, it's like a well-curated trail all the way to the top with a bunch of people just kind of marching along the way. Okay, so why is Iran? So I one of the other things I ran dead yesterday was they fired one of their top negotiators that's kind of part of their, I don't know, leadership group right now. Apparently he was a hardliner, didn't want to make a deal, that kind of thing. Got rid of them. That's cool. Right now, why now? Well, Trump's heading to China pretty soon, according to Jesse Waters.

SPEAKER_09 24:07

For the first time since the war, Iran sent a delegation to Beijing. The ChaiComs put them on a leash and told the mulers to quit the straight shenanigans and take the deal. A week before Trump meets Xi Jinping.

SPEAKER_48 24:21

President Trump has has put out publicly and privately messages to the Chinese. Do not help the Iranians right now. We're trying to isolate them. We're in a war with them. Uh, do not help them out. So I the Chinese are very cognizant of that. They don't want to upset President Trump before this big state visit. Uh so yes, I think that these things are all connected.

SPEAKER_09 24:42

Sources say the president wants to end the Iran war before his visit to China, and the Chinese do too. Their economy is starting to crack, and with the strait being choked, they're looking down the barrel of an energy crisis. Actually helped me.

Cartel Raids And Law And Order

Housing Affordability And Rent Drops

SPEAKER_25 24:54

That's good news. I mean, if I have to pick to have China afraid of our president, I'll pick that choice. You definitely don't want them having our president bought off. Like our last president may or may not have been bought off based on a series of deals, like I don't know,$1.5 billion being put into a hedge fund that Joe that Joe Biden's son, Hunter, and John Kerry's stepson, whatever his last name, Heinz, you know, the Heinz heir was running. So, you know, I think it's I think it's nice that that Trump is uh doing that. You know, it's interesting. There's allegations in the first term about Trump's family having deals in China because Ivanka Trump had a trademark in China. Did you know about this? Yeah. Well, she sells like cosmetics or whatever. Yeah, who cares? They trademarked it in China because China doesn't respect our trademark law. You have to go do theirs. Yeah, so there was no deal there. She just had to have a trademark there so they wouldn't steal her stuff. And good news, down in LA, there was an undercover operation that resulted in a huge bunch of raids yesterday. And uh you can just see the video here. This was raids by the FBI, DEA, you know, all the all the classic law enforcement agents, and it was directed at the Sinaloa cartel. Hundreds of federal agents were involved in this raid, and lots of people were arrested. So, in terms of law and order, things are looking up. I mean, more and more, and we're gonna talk more about that here in a little bit, but things are definitely looking up. Another thing, Polte was on CNBC yesterday, and we also have good news in the housing market. Prices are coming down, affordability is better. Now, you can't drop prices, right? Once a price of a house goes up in our current system, it's really bad when the value of the house goes down. Like that's not a good thing. It causes a cascade effect of foreclosures, and you know, I mean, it's not good. It's bad for markets in general. It's bad for markets in general. It might be good for very young buyers, but it's bad for grandma. I mean, it is not a good thing. So the fact that affordability is happening, what they've done is they've stabilized rents, and actually rents have gone down in markets like Arizona. Rents are down like 16, 17%, and wages are up in Arizona. So you're getting closer and closer to, you know, some type of parity between wages and rents. So this is Polte talking about housing.

SPEAKER_39 27:08

But compared to the four years that we had with Biden, it was inflation, inflation, inflation. Rent never stopped going up. And now we finally have seen rent come down. So, you know, people don't talk about affordability anymore. But if you want to talk about it, I mean, you look at what's happened with rent, affordability has gone up with rent because of what President Trump has done to crush inflation. And also affordability has gone up in terms of being able to buy a home since the Biden administration. Those are just facts.

SPEAKER_25 27:33

But Pony Boy says, with reference to Ivanka getting trademarks to sell goods in China, says making legitimate deals is frowned upon, but selling BSR isn't makes sense. But then again, look who we're talking about. TDS fogs up common sense. It's symptom number one. So affordability is back to 2021 levels. So this is when Trump left office. He's already returned the market to the status that it was when he left office the first time. So they've kind of reversed what Biden had with the loss of affordability. He's brought that back down. You know, during Trump's campaign, obviously he's campaigning, so everything's like, we'll bring prices down. Yep. You have to say we'll bring prices down. But what you mean by being prices down is flatten them out.

SPEAKER_27 28:19

Right. And it's uh it's your it's your uh intention of being optimistic, and this is how you want the future to be.

DC Fixes Potomac Cleanup Trump Speed

SPEAKER_25 28:26

Yes, and he's making good on it in time after time after time. I am impressed with some of the things he's done around DC. I was I'm impressed with him restoring the reflecting pole. That thing was empty. They weren't even putting water in it because it leaked like crazy. They've sealed it, they've painted it, it'll be ready to go by the uh 4th of July 250th year celebration. He's been he's he restored the uh pond on Capitol Hill. When I went to the Capitol, that thing was empty, right? And it looked like crap. I had to walk around it. I was like, I might as well just walk through it. There's no water. Okay, so he's restored that. Um, he's restored quite a few fountains that have been off for half a decade, basically Joe Biden's entire time period. Uh, if you remember during Joe Biden's Biden's time in office, there started to be tent cities, like homeless encampments popping up around DC. You know, I got to see some of these when I was being transported, shackled up inside of the transport vans, going to and from court and stuff like that. We would drive by some of this stuff. Because the DC, the DC gulag is like up in the corner of DC overlooking the Potomac into Maryland. And so I'd get to drive through, you know, DC is only like 10 square miles, and drive through quite a bit of it to get down to the the uh federal district courthouse that was a kiddie corner from the Capitol. That was really weird, by the way, to be tried. Like I could see that I could see the scene of the crime. And you know, you guys had your parking all blocked, and people were walking all around. Like everybody in that courthouse, if allegedly, according to their version of events, were literally crime victims of the of the J6 riot. You'd think that they would have like changed venue because, oh, you know, we're all like nobody, no judge could get home on time that day, and it was just right there. So crazy. So crazy. Another big thing that's happened in DC is if you remember last year there was a big scandal because there was a bunch of sewage being done into the Potomac. And so Trump had to act, he got a call from Muriel Bowser saying, hey, this is this is out of control. Like, we can't we can't fix this. So Trump signed an emergency order, put Lee Zeldon and the EPA on it, and in record fashion, that problem's over.

SPEAKER_10 30:34

America 250 celebrations in the nation's capital getting a boost from the EPA and their cleanup of the 240 million gallons of wastewater. It's spilled into the Potomac River. Lee Zelden, EPA administrator, is here now to share the big update. So we we thought we were going to be like Paris with the Olympics when they suddenly discovered that the Seine River was polluted with fecal coliform. Uh, this is good news, and in time to rename the Potomac River the Potomac River.

SPEAKER_21 31:01

So, what'd you get done? Well, great, great news. So, the first thing, as soon as the DC mayor had contacted uh the president in the White House, asked for help, the president signed an emergency declaration right away. He made EPA the lead agency, worked to Army Corps, National Park Service, other federal partners. By mid-March, uh, we completed the Potomac Interceptor fix. Uh, then after that, we moved to remediation. The goal was to get remediation done before America 250 events. Great news as we sit here this afternoon today, as of uh this afternoon, we are done with the federal response. Uh and that was a multi-step process. Uh, we we were it was everything from the the sampling on the soil and the water to removing contaminated contaminated soil, all that dread, all that sewage-impacted soil. We covered the contaminated soil with seed mix. Uh, we did erosion control blankets on top of it. We were clearing out fallen trees and brush and debris. Uh, we flushed out the CNO Canal using fresh water from the Potomac. And uh all that's left right now is a small area that DC Water is going to have completed by the end of May, at the end of this month, uh, between locks 10 and 11 of the CNO Canal doing soil remediation. So well ahead of schedule for America 250 events. This is what we call Trump speed in the administration.

Why Polls Miss Trump’s Base

SPEAKER_25 32:24

Well, it really is Trump speed. Uh again, I am super impressed with his construction projects and these little projects that he's taken on as these like side gigs. These are transforming what DC is looking like. And obviously, crime is down in DC significantly. Like they're still having a murder every here and there because gangs are what gangs are, but it's way down from what it was when I was incarcerated in DC. I'm not kidding you. Every morning we would wake up and the TV would have another drive-by shooting, another horrific event, one after another. It was I've I've never seen anything like it. It's a tiny little, tiny little town. I mean, 10 square miles run. I drive farther than that farther than that to get here every morning. Okay. In that little area, it was daily murders and horrific things that was going on. So very, very impressed with what's happening around DC. And uh, you know, it's making a difference. There's a lot of if you watch legacy media and you listen to the Democrat talking points, it's consistent. You know, Trump's losing his base, the radical right, you know, the Tucker Carlson's Candace Owens. We have to defeat Donald Trump, get rid of him in the midterms. This is uh what is this? Is what is his name here? This is Matt Towery, and he's he's a pollster that's out there, and he's one of the pollsters that always he's closer on polling for Trump than than Rasmussen is, definitely closer than Richard uh Rich Harris. He's he's more consistent when it comes to elections and predicting what the elections are going to be than all the other guys, right? He he has a better way to poll Republicans than the others do. Because remember, Republicans, they just want to be left alone. And a lot of Republicans in the last 30 years don't want to be on any lists, right? We don't you don't want to answer phone calls, you don't want to answer questions because you don't know if your data is being logged. Like this is a significant problem when it comes to polling conservatives and Republicans in general, and especially the MAGA base. They do not trust the pollsters or anybody who calls up fishing for information about your political opinions. So he's he was on with Lori Ingram last night, and this is in kind of in response to the overwhelming win of state senators that were incumbents that voted against redistricting that were flushed out by Donald Trump.

SPEAKER_38 34:46

Let me add one other thing about the polling. I want people to know right now the polling that you're seeing come in on Trump is incorrect. The reason it's off is most of these polls do not correlate. They don't wait to his last election. Donald Trump has a floor, basically, of about 41-42. If he has an absolute worst day, he has a ceiling of about 56 or 57 because the rest of the country is so polarized you can only go that far. But he's got a loyal 43 to 44 percent on any day of the month. And when he's doing well, he's got 50 plus. And the pollsters are wrong. And I'm right, I guarantee I'm right about that.

SPEAKER_25 35:25

The pollsters are wrong and they're right. And a lot of that has to do with not waiting from the last election. You get an overwhelming win. And here's the thing: even if you do wait for the last waiting, right? Where you kind of adjust your standards, even if they do wait it, the last election still can't be considered completely accurate, right? You're taking mail-in ballots and you're waiting. Typically, when it comes to mail in ballots, you're waiting in the favor of the Democrats. So you end up over polling them. This is like a significant problem. So, you know, we play the Harry Anton polls and stuff like that because when Trump has a lead, it's like, add four points. You know, it's like that's that's the way it works. This is majority whip. Uh is it Tom Emmer, I remember his name, and he's he was on with Fox Business, and this is also in response to the Indiana sweep yesterday, two days ago. Trump's influence in the Republican Party is as big as it ever was. In fact, it's probably bigger because he's become an icon.

SPEAKER_40 36:21

Look, all of these polls that try to suggest that Donald Trump's uh uh influence is waning are completely false. Uh, Donald Trump has never been stronger, especially with the Republican base. Uh and you saw it last night in Indiana. It's uh uh he is a he's become more than Donald Trump. Uh he is an icon of the ages. And uh when he speaks, people listen. And I know the left doesn't like to hear that, Stuart, but it's fact, and you saw it last night on display in Indiana.

SPEAKER_25 36:50

I I agree with that. When Donald Trump has an agenda item, people will typically get behind him. Now, obviously, an individual Republican can be upset about gas prices. I get it. An individual Republican that doesn't understand what's going on with Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran can be upset with our activities there. I get it. But once the information is presented, most of them are jumped right back on the Trump train. Because you know what the other train is? The other side, the Democrats. So who's the big Democrat icon? Like who's their who's their huge icon that they put up on a pedestal, this man can do no wrong? Obama. Barack Obama. Okay, Barack Obama. So at the end of the day, you've got Trump leading the Republican Party, and you still have Barack Obama as the icon and figurehead of the Democrat Party. He's the one who Hakeem Jeffery's pretending to be.

SPEAKER_27 37:39

I know.

SPEAKER_25 37:40

And so here's Barack Obama. This is the other direction. So if you're not on the Trump train, you're on the Obama train.

SPEAKER_26 37:47

You look at somebody like Mandami, who I think is an extraordinary talent. He he wants people to be able to afford housing in New York. Well, you know, uh, but I I would assume liberals in New York want the same thing.

SPEAKER_25 38:02

Yeah, of course. They all want the same thing. The difference is he'll never be able to deliver it. Okay, so that's the that's the other side. You either go with Trump cleaning up the Potomac, dealing with our enemies around the world, lowering gas prices. I understand they're high today, but remember, presidents don't have anything to do with that, right? Fixing affordability by raising wages across the country in a net aggregate, hiring uh Americans, not hiring people in government jobs, but private sector, okay, flattening out the the uh overpricing of houses, increasing the supply, rents going down around the country, or you can have Madami who wants to price fix, steal from the rich to pay for the poor's housing that then makes them typically unproductive.

SPEAKER_27 38:50

I would say that he is kind of like uh Vermin Supreme without the boot on his head. It's it's ridiculous.

Two Political Tracks And Globalism

SPEAKER_25 38:58

It is so that's when it comes to elections, you take a track. You either go Trump as the icon and his policy agendas make America great again, or you go free ponies for everybody and free everything for everybody, and you pay for it on the back end with inflation, which means nobody can afford anything. And we've seen this play out in from 2008 to 2006, 2004, 2008 to 2016, gas prices went up. We were paying four dollars a gallon ten years ago when Barack Obama was in office, when the value of the dollar was 15, 20, 25 percent stronger. That's the equivalent of like five dollar a gallon gas today. That was under Barack Obama way back then. Trump came in, brought prices down. Biden came in, brought prices up. Trump came in, brought prices down. Hello? One of these people under one of these two train tracks understands how to get lower pricing. The ones who just want to give it to you for free and blame the rich constantly. Oh, the gas prices are because of stock buybacks and you know, billionaires profit taking. No, it's because your policies suck. The gas companies are always gonna make what they're gonna make. It's a it's a PO, profit and overhead type thing. So when the cost basis goes up because you can't drill or supply and demand goes down, that that's free markets. Price goes up. So uh Mrs. Anderson over in the EU parliament, and I can't what country she's from. She's from she's German. Okay, so she's German and she's a conservative German. Now she's still European, okay, but she's a conservative German, and she often speaks up about in opposition to globalism and stuff like that. And she's over in Brussels at the EU parliament. And she explains very clearly again, there's a track here. You've got the right track and the left track, everything else is just on those tracks. Like it doesn't really matter who you're dealing with. You're either on one or the other. Your policies and your solutions and the overall premise of what you're trying to campaign on and do is going to lead you down this track or it's going to lead you down that track. And she says they have a plan, right? They have a plan for the track they want to force people onto.

SPEAKER_04 41:28

But madness, this so-called pandemic, it was just a test balloon, a gigantic test balloon. Well, for what you ask? Well, to see how far they could go, to see what exactly they would have to do to get free individuals in a free and democratic society, to consent to be enforced into compliance. That's what they were trying to establish, that's what they were trying to figure out, and they have they have figured it out. Trust me, they are much smarter now. The goal ultimately is to transform our free and democratic societies into totalitarian societies. Their goal is to strip each and every one of us of our fundamental rights, of freedom, democracy, the rule of law. They want to get rid of all of this. This whole COVID thing had never anything to do with public health. It never had anything to do with breaking waifs. It always had to do with breaking people in order to make us a part of a mindless, malleable mass, which they can totally control, and we will be completely dependent upon this globalitarian elite. So I'm really imploring the people and all the peoples around the world. For God's sake, stop giving your democratically elected governments the benefit of the doubt. They are not deserving of that. They are not. Because I can tell you, you cannot comply. Your way out of a tyranny. It is impossible. Trying to do so, you will only feed a gigantic alligator in the hopes of being eaten last. But guess what? Your turn will come, and then you will be the one swallowed up. I also have to ask the people end your silence. Speak up. For God's sake, stop complying. Start rebelling. They're out to get you if you do not resist.

SPEAKER_25 44:40

All right, guys, that's the show for today. I think uh from top to bottom, we got it. That's just the message I've been pounding on for five years.

SPEAKER_24 44:47

What's her name for president? Yeah, it's Anderson. I can't remember her first name.

SPEAKER_27 44:53

So she basically said exactly what you keep telling me, which is you know, stop projecting your goodness on people. Stop projecting your goodness on people. And that's exactly what she's saying.

SPEAKER_25 45:03

The title to the show just a couple days ago was they're guilty till they prove themselves innocent. That's the way you have to look at government. And it's history. This isn't unique to America. It's not unique to Europe. It's all of human history. It's all of human history. You know, when you go left-wing, you go real authoritarian and you get this mind virus, and it becomes the collective, the collective, the collective. And your individual actives, you end up self-cannibalizing yourself up to and including suicide by cop running after a president or a political leader or, you know, a United Healthcare president on the side of the on the street in New York City. The right wingers, they want to go Ruby Rich. I move out to a big farm, get left alone. I just want to be by myself. I don't like people. Like those are the two extremes. I'd much rather have a bunch of Ruby Ridge compounds laying around with no trespassing signs than Luigi Mangioni running around trying to destroy you on behalf of the totalitarian elite who have convinced them to do harm not only to themselves but to others. And again, this is super pervasive. In 2016, Bernie Sanders came this close to getting the nomination from Hillary Clinton. This close, right? In fact, they absolutely rigged the DNC convention to take it from him. Alan Dershowitz, a fellow Jew like Bernie Sanders, who knows Bernie Sanders very well, because these guys have been around for a long time. He had this to say, and that's the theme of the Democrat Party, consistently. Look at what Barack Obama just said. He supports Mandami. The guy is a communist, open and outright, right? He expresses nothing but sympathy for communism and totalitarian government. But he's got that chintzy, nice little smile, that little mousey smile, right? These guys would vote for Stalin and Hitler themselves.

SPEAKER_36 47:01

Bernie Sanders, who is the most anti-Semitic senator in modern history, is Jewish. But he's a too. Let's never thousands, not tens of thousands, thousands of Jews voted for Adolf Hitler in the 1932 election in Germany. And Bernie Sanders would have voted for would have voted for Stalin. I have no doubt about that. He would have supported Bolt Hot in his uh genocide against the people of Cambodia. He surely would have supported Castro in his attempted genocide against the people of Cuba. He's a he's an evil, evil man. And um, and yet he's the face, he now claims to be the leader of the Democratic Party. He said, Look, I got 40 votes against Israel. Um, and and and Schumer only got seven votes.

Resist Compliance And Build Independence

SPEAKER_25 47:49

Bernie Sands. Anyone who does the whole anti-Israel thing, right? Listen, I've got my issues with Israel. Okay. Everybody does. I got my issues with South North Korea. Heck, South Korea, throw them in the mix too. I got my issues with South Korea. Okay. It's okay to have criticism of a nation state because they're not America first. That's simple, right? They're not, they're not on board with make America great again, but I respect their right to do what they do. I respect Israel's right to exist. I respect their right to go after Hezbollah and Hamas. I respect all of that. I'm not saying Israel's perfect, but Israel is an actual democracy. Israel shares the basis of law that we share. They do believe in the Ten Commandments, unlike Islam, who's got their own thing going on, right? You got that red-green alliance, and we've talked about that when we were in the old studio, how Islam and communists have kind of joined forces to defeat the West, and then they'll just duke it out. Yeah. Okay. Uh 1776 live PMA says Taylor shares the power of private trust today at our free Ignite webinar today at 4:30 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. And the link is in the chat to register. So if you want to hear me talk about what we do over at 1776, which is really the tools to take your freedom to reclaim the our fundamental liberties. That this show, Peasants Perspective, we talk about the government, we talk about the news of the day, politics, and things like that. Always with the theme is how does it connect to our dinner table? How does it affect us, we the peasants? Because that's all that matters, right? Me and my household. That's all that matters. I have a duty as a father to take care of my family. And everybody has a duty to take care of themselves and their family. So when we look at the big picture of things, how does it affect us? At 1776 Live, for people who are ready to reclaim their fundamental liberties, to reclaim their fundamental rights and the American dream, including building wealth. That's what we cover over there. So, you know, here you've got the two doors, left or right. Once you decide to take one door, we're going to give you the path to where be where you can be strong enough to speak up, where you don't become dependent on the system. Because that's what she was talking about, uh, Mrs. Anderson in Europe. She's saying, look, you know, everybody's stuck in a position where it's like, well, I want to speak up, but my company is doing DEI. And if I speak out, I'll get fired. And then what do I do? Well, there's solutions to that. Come check out what we're doing over at 1776 Live. Because even here in the United States of America, the freest country on earth, we are not immune from presidents targeting their political opponents.

SPEAKER_19 50:24

I understand that argument, but also it's like you're playing Monopoly with somebody who, you know, won't pass go and won't follow any of the rules.

SPEAKER_25 50:32

And how do you ever make any progress if they want you to follow the rules, play the game, do what they want to do? What did she say in Europe? Right? You're gonna comply your way? Play the rules of the game the way we set them.

SPEAKER_27 50:44

No, she said resist.

SPEAKER_25 50:45

And she said resist. So, you know, the people who want to resist that are like, I don't want to play this game. I don't want to play a game that's rigged against me.

SPEAKER_19 50:53

So, what was Joe Biden's response? They're not following the rules of the five.

SPEAKER_25 50:56

We gotta send them to jail.

SPEAKER_19 50:58

Uh, you know, they've got little boxes directly to jail.

DOJ Power Projection And The Constitution

SPEAKER_25 51:03

Go directly to jail. Go directly to jail. He made good on it. Yeah, he made good on it. I spent 14 months in federal prison. And had it not been for you, the people, voting for Donald Trump, I would have spent until 2030 in federal prison. Standing up to the government was going to cost me 13 years of my life if you factor in probation and pretrial conditions. Big deal. So thanks for standing up and casting a ballot, those of you, especially those of you in swing states. But you have to understand, right? The Democrats are more than willing to send you to jail and use force to get you to play the game, to get you to comply. And they'll convince you the whole time. Well, if you just put your mask on, life would be so much easier. If you just take the injections, life would be so much easier. Then you can be like everybody else. Be like everybody else. What if I want to be me? What if I just want to be who I am? Clearly, I am the problem, right? But we are the solution. That's what they want to say. No, no, no, no. I am the solution every time. Here's Barack Obama, of course, saying, you know, the president shouldn't be able to use the law to go after his enemies. He shouldn't be able to direct prosecutions.

SPEAKER_26 52:15

Well, there are a couple that I followed even though they weren't law. And I want us we're gonna have to do some work to return to this basic norm, and we probably now have to codify it. The White House shouldn't be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting whoever the programs under the executive branch.

SPEAKER_25 52:41

Wait, what? What huh? I I thought Barack Obama literally directed the prosecution of Donald Trump. Didn't he directly prosecute, you know, do that? But did he not set up Donald Trump with the Russia gate information? I mean, we have the paperwork. We have text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page saying the White House is running this.

SPEAKER_27 53:00

Maybe the policy of impeaching President Donald Trump should just be made policy.

SPEAKER_25 53:06

Yeah. Yeah. If we can't get compliance, it's really rich.

SPEAKER_26 53:11

The norm is that it's independent. The norm the the idea is that the general is the people's lawyer. It's not the president's consigliary. Right. Even when it's Bobby Kennedy.

SPEAKER_25 53:22

Eric Holder, Eric Holder said, I'm Barack Obama's wingman.

SPEAKER_26 53:27

It's Bobby Kennedy. And so uh two of the core principles of a democracy. Yeah, we we can survive a lot. Bad policy, funky elections. There's a bunch of stuff that you know we can we can overcome. We can't overcome the politicization of the criminal justice system. The the awesome power of the state. You you can't have a situation in which uh whoever's in charge of the government starts using that to go after their political enemies or reward their friends, right?

SPEAKER_25 54:06

So another power maybe I'd say would you know I really dislike in my soul the projection these guys do. Yeah, I I agree with most of your phrasing there. I agree with the fact that you shouldn't just go after political enemies because they're political enemies. I agree with that, and I agree that we a nation can survive your rigged elections, we can survive a lot of things. Bad policy. We survived it, we made it through it, Barack Obama. I mean, we still have Obamacare hanging around. We we can make it, we can figure it out. The projection these guys do is sickening, and all of it runs contrary to the core elements of our constitution. In fact, here's Todd Blanche responding directly to Barack Obama.

SPEAKER_20 54:50

In a recent interview, the former president of Barack Obama said, and I quote, the White House shouldn't be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants to prosecute. You're the attorney general. What is your response?

SPEAKER_15 55:07

Well, I coincidentally, I happen to have, I think, a copy of the our constitution. So if we want, we can read our constitution together. Article 2 says the executive power shall be vested in a president of the United States of America. It does not say that the attorney general stands off to the side. So as a I'm an acting attorney general, the attorney general is a member of the cabinet of the president of the United States. The Constitution gives the president power. So I I question, I question people in this country that suggests that President Trump, as the as the chief executive of the United States, does not have the authority or the right or shouldn't be leading this country in all areas, including what we need to be doing to get rid of crime in this country. And so I I didn't I'm not familiar with the comments you just talked about, but but to the extent that President Trump calls me and says that he thinks that we have a problem in this country, whether it's this scourge of drugs, um illegal immigration, um every American wants him to do that, and he should.

SPEAKER_20 56:18

But the accusation here from the former president is that your department is now charging political adversaries of the president or perceived political adversaries of the president on his behalf to settle scores.

SPEAKER_15 56:31

There's something extraordinarily rich about a Democrat suggesting that this administration is charging our political adversaries. I mean, first of all, we're not. Second of all, how about we think about what happened the past four years? It wasn't just President Trump that got indicted repeatedly in multiple district courts, in multiple jurisdictions, but it was also his entire administration, what was called into the grand jury. Members of his Secret Service detail had to testify on the grand jury. So I I welcome criticism. Let's go, but but let's say if you're sitting in a glass house, you ought not throw stones.

SPEAKER_24 57:08

Yeah.

Antifa Protests And Counterterror Tools

SPEAKER_25 57:08

If you're sitting in a glass house, you ought not throw stones. You got two directions here. We either have law and order, the constitutional way, or you have law and order, the communist way, which means they kill everybody that doesn't agree with them. Now, you're free to disagree. You're free to protest. It was made clear to me over and over again in the form of lip service that you're free to protest. You know what you're not free to do? Push on a gate. This was in New York this week. This is another one of these free Palestine, you know, anti-Semitic rallies. So you're free to protest. You're not free to push on a gate. Look at those deadly weapons pushing up against the c oh, they're seven years. Yeah, there'll be a lot of sympathy for her, you know. The likelihood of them doing anything about that crowd is low, which just goes to prove Donald Trump operates a little bit differently. He operates a little bit differently. If any of these people have anything happen to them, it'll be like, you know,$65 tickets or something like that. Which is honestly what I expected because 2020 was full of scenes like this, was it not?

SPEAKER_30 58:28

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_25 58:29

Yeah. So I'm just saying, you know, when Donald Trump says, hey, we need to go after the groups that organize these events, and uh, you know, we gotta do it.

SPEAKER_27 58:38

In Seattle, we had the summer of love.

SPEAKER_25 58:40

Summer of love. It resulted in death and mayhem. Okay. So here is on Jolomus John Solomon's show, Just the Noise. They had Sebastian Gorka on. And Trump has has stood up essentially task force, a new counter-terrorism directive. And that's what Sebastian Gorka, he's part of their counter-terrorism, uh part of the White House national security team. And they've stood up a counter-terrorism arm, and and some of this makes perfect sense to us. Cartels and um cartels and international, you know, Al-Qaeda-like terrorism, but also they are have a specific emphasis on domestic terrorism, which to, if you talk to anybody in the conservative movement, they'll tell you these are the people that are the problem. And this is actually a big problem here in our county. Bremerton is full of Antifa affiliates.

SPEAKER_00 59:30

So we got to unmute it. Thank you kindly. Yeah, my incredible team have been working on this uh since the second inauguration of President Trump. We waited until the president signed and released the national security strategy in December. This nests under that and the national defense strategy. In one sentence, we are returning to common sense, reality-based counter-terrorism. One of the first things the president says in his trenchant forward, and then we stress later on on page one, is that we will not permit the most powerful national security tools in the world, especially underneath the counter-terrorism rubric, to be used for political purposes against innocent Americans. We're not going to allow, as the Biden administration did, Catholics in Richmond to be targeted because they go to Latin mass, members of Congress like Talsi Gabbard to be put on no-fly lists, or to use armed federal law enforcement to raid the home of a former president as happened at Mar a Lago because President Trump was going to win that election. We're not going to let that happen. So we're going to rip politics out of counter-terrorism. And then we're going to focus on the real threats in three main threat groups. Number one, the cartels, under the incredible leadership of the Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller, the new S1, the new Secretary of Homeland Security, Senator Mullen. And then, of course, the second category is my remit, the global jihadi movement. So dealing the ultimate death blows to groups like Al-Qaeda or ISIS. And then the third category, sadly, because the left has normalized violence or made it a permissible thing to do, we're going to identify and neutralize the left-wing radicals like Antifa, like the anarchists, who took the life of my good friend Charlie Kirk, that have tried on multiple occasions to kill President Trump. We will not permit you to use violence against your fellow Americans for political purposes.

SPEAKER_25 1:01:34

And if you look in history, the Antifa movement has a lot of parallels to the brown shirts, right? The brown shirts in Nazi Germany who went out and they were street thugs. They would cause a lot of problems and it caused a clamor for the people for law and order. And Adolf Hitler, who had empowered and enabled the brown shirts when he took power, he then turned around and eliminated them. Today's brown shirts are just black bloc. Are just black bloc. Exactly. And they fall, they fly under multiple banners: LGBT banners, trans banners, BLM banners, and pro-Palestine banners. Everything that has to do with that red-green alliance, they fly under. Yep. Right. Now, this is James Comey in an interview he did a while ago, and he's talking about January 6th. And if you remember, there was a lot of fear-mongering amongst the left that there was going to be a rise of a civil war, that the right wing would rise up. The Proud Boys and Oathkeepers would take over all your local Walmarts. Okay. And he says something that's kind of interesting. He has a very personal connection to January 6th, which, okay, is what it is. But you got to remember the FBI had people in the crowd and probably were provocateuring, and the FBI was allowing all that intelligence to come in saying there might be problems without informing the Capitol Hill police so that they could staff up appropriately.

SPEAKER_27 1:02:54

Most definitely.

SPEAKER_25 1:02:55

Right. So you have all these issues going on. So, but he also says something else. He says the United States is not close to a civil war the way it's being advertised. Okay, I would also agree with that. But given what Antifa's doing, it makes you wonder. It makes you wonder. These guys had Antifa under their thumb. So under their watch, there wouldn't be an uprising, just enough to make sure they could use their awesome powers and tools to go after conservatives because of lack of law and order.

SPEAKER_43 1:03:27

You're the guy's African-American guy. He was leading them in the wrong direction so they wouldn't go chasing after, I think Mitt Romney. And so there were really efforts to just to decoy them and misdirect them so they could save the lives of these members who are who knew their lives were threatened. Yeah, and I don't, and by the way, this is very personal for me.

SPEAKER_44 1:03:47

My son was one of the first responders, a SWAT officer who stood on the steps facing the Washington Monument, got hit in the neck with something thrown from the crowd. And so this is personal. There were heroic actions by the first responders on site. I don't mean to take anything away from them when I say had there been 2,000 officers deployed to protect the hill, it would have been protected. I'm not trying to take anything away from the Goodmans and the others who sacrificed so much that day. But I don't want it to lead us into overstating the threat. There's a significant threat, but I don't want to repeat history and imagine an existential threat. We've had political violence in this country, but I don't think we are on the cusp of that kind of violence. We face something that you and I are going to talk about that we have to continue to address, but it's not the existential threat, the we can't hold Donald Trump accountable because we're afraid of the violence.

SPEAKER_25 1:04:40

And remember, that's what the brown shirts, the Antifa group, does. If politicians stand up to them, they protest in riot, which then makes them not want to stand up to them. And he's saying, eh, you know, without our provocative provocateuring, those things wouldn't happen. We can still hold Donald Trump accountable, nobody will protest. Right? When it's our side, nobody will protest because we won't provocateer. But when it's their side, oh boy, they're gonna send their brown shirts even till today. I just showed you a clip from this week in New York, you know, another riot breaking out, pushing against those deadly weapons, those bike racks up against the cops. So, along with this new counterterrorism strategy, this is I should just like have a cheat sheet with all the names. I can't remember this guy's name. Anyways, he's talking about the significance of this because the feds are now involved. So now all these issues like that riot in New York, if you don't catch them right there on the spot, the likelihood of the NYPD looping back around and tracking you down years later is like slim to nothing. But how did they get there in the first place? Now that the Fed's involved directly going after Antifa, they're a domestic terror organization, they've got awesome tools to track down the money and the funding.

SPEAKER_41 1:05:56

Uh cause to stir, opposition to capitalism, imperialism. Or colonialism. We hear those chants all the time. They're ridiculous. Support for LGBTQ and rights. Support for environmental causes or animal rights. Adherence to pro-communist, pro-socialist beliefs or anti-fascist rhetoric, which we hear nonstop, and opposition to government authority. Now, the thing is, you can believe that, you can get together. They're worried about when it leads to violence. And then Treasury could play a big role, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:06:24

Yeah, absolutely. As we saw with Operation Economic Fury, you know, the counterpart to epic fury, you can now apply the entire toolkit that Treasury, I'm telling you, as a detective, we were, we salivated over the ability that the federal government had with IRS and Treasury to go after money, to go after sanctions. This is something now that can now be done that will impact us at the state and local level. This is a huge change. And if you it's follow the money, right? Follow the money. You don't go after people for ideology. We've got to be careful from a First Amendment standpoint. But when that ideology leads to violence, now they become a target. Now you apply the whole toolkit. And when you disrupt their money, I'm telling you, Brian, most of these groups are not flush with cash. You start disrupting that, you start disrupting their recruiting uh capability, um, you can have a huge impact in a very short amount of time.

SPEAKER_41 1:07:10

Don't you believe that a lot of this money comes from our adversaries, Russia, North Korea, uh cause disturbing and domestic billionaires, but yeah, yeah.

Virginia Raid Redistricting And Blackmail Claims

SPEAKER_25 1:07:20

So they're they're equipped with the toolkit. Again, changes are being made. You know, if you go too far right wing extreme, you end up on a farm in Colorado or northern Idaho, and you will just want to be left alone. I'm okay with that. You go left wing, you find yourself at a protest in some suburb, suburban area fighting against the cops and you know, all those all those things that they talked about, those are all socialist communist political agendas. The brown shirts. That's exactly what they are. And remember, the Democrat Party is rife with projection. Remember how yesterday morning there was a raid happening in Virginia on the speaker pro temporar of the Virginia Assembly, Democrat? Well, this is her being interviewed, and you have to remember she's she's super honest.

SPEAKER_17 1:08:08

The people in the 18th Senator district trust me. They saw my commercials, they believe what I was saying. Your message to voters here.

SPEAKER_16 1:08:16

My message to voters here is that they know me and they know when I make a promise that I deliver on my promises. I've been representing this community for 30 years, so but I can tell you I'm going to be successful, and the reason is because the people trust me.

SPEAKER_25 1:08:27

The people did she deserve their trust? Did she deserve their trust? Why was she getting raided? Is it just because she's a political opponent to Donald Trump, some Virginia assembly woman? Is it just because she supports all the left-wing policies? Do you think that's why they went after her? Do you think the trust of her district in her was well placed and well founded?

SPEAKER_27 1:08:47

I honestly don't know who she is.

SPEAKER_25 1:08:49

We shouldn't. But now we do. She's she her offices got raided, cannabis dispensaries all got raided that are connected to her. Turns out there's a lot of bribe taking and money laundering going on. But don't worry. The people trust me, they believe my commercials.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:08

The FBI is searching the office of a Democrat in the Virginia State Senate, Louise Lucas. That's according to Fox News, citing federal law enforcement sources. She is a party leader who was instrumental in the Virginia redistricting effort. And this now senior investigative reporter, Carol Lennock, is following this. Carol, what have you learned about this investigation?

SPEAKER_02 1:09:28

So Louise Lucas is a state fairly prominent uh legislator in her state, but not known nationally. And the FBI and the Department of Justice have been investigating her for several years, three years, I'm told, by a source familiar with the probe.

SPEAKER_25 1:09:44

And that investigation I want to say something. The tradition of the FBI, and this is the old Ron Paul allegation, is they are there to gather information to create blackmail for the elite party leaders to compel what their politicians, the people who have their party D or R behind their name to do what they want.

SPEAKER_27 1:10:04

Well, that makes sense why it's taking three years then, because they're never ever going to take action. They're just collecting info.

SPEAKER_25 1:10:10

Collecting info to compel performance to get them to do things. But Trump comes into office, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanch start opening up files, and they're like, oh yeah, no, this this case is going to conclude. And there have been multiple cases that were started under Biden that went nowhere, but lots of intel was gathered that Cash Patel, Pam Bondi, and Todd Blanche have then gone and gotten indictments.

SPEAKER_27 1:10:35

Does this help people understand what's been happening for the last forever?

SPEAKER_25 1:10:40

Yeah. Is you open the investigation to gather the info and then you use the info. And if you go look at this RussiaGate thing, Patrick Byrne was deeply involved in that. He said they were putting plants into Ted Cruz's campaign, even Hillary Clinton's campaign. Patrick Byrne arranged a$16 million bribe from Qatar to Hillary Clinton in a hotel room. It wasn't on her schedule. She went up a back elevator shaft, went in, accepted the bribe. And then the next day, the FBI agents who had had him set this up, he's thinking we're finally going to have some accountability. We're like, forget this ever happened. And he explained to him, they're going to use this to put heat on Hillary Clinton to make sure she doesn't do anything with the Affordable Care Act, probably because Barack Obama directly benefits from it. Does that make sense? Yeah. So they were get they were creating these entrapment situations. So this investigation was opened to find the dirt. And it was probably never going to be used if Kamala Harris had been elected, it would have been used to continue to control this politician.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:37

But now she's got been rated. She had been pressuring and pushing prosecutors to bring charges against Lucas, believing that that would be important, a high priority case. I'm told that Halligan believed it would be good for the White House to be able before the midterms to accuse a prominent state Democrat in Virginia with bribery.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:25

We know Trump, of course, has directed his DOJ to go after specific political opponents before, but if this probe began before he was in office three years ago, as you just stated, can this be lumped in with all those other politically charged cases where defendants are alleging DOJ bias?

SPEAKER_02 1:12:44

Great and nuanced question. And the answer is yes.

SPEAKER_25 1:12:52

Do you see how they dance around this? Do you see how they dance around it without saying the obvious that we just explained? Well, yeah, I mean, that was just an investigation for blackmail purposes. This is this is real prosecution. So yeah, of course. Of course, it's targeting.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:07

Not sure this was the strongest case in the world, but Halligan felt very strongly that it should be pressed. Now, of course, this action by the FBI, as reported by Fox News, is embarrassing to Lucas, embarrassing to the Democratic Party, and also to the governor of that state, because Lucas is a close ally of hers. And now what we know from this is the probe is really quite active. But as for charges, we shall see. They may be um sealed at this moment, or they may never come. We're somewhere in the middle of those two.

SPEAKER_25 1:13:44

Uh, my experience has been at this stage, charges are usually going to show up after the fact. I mean, I'm sure there are cases where people get raided and it comes to nothing, but that was a big raid. That was a big raid. Big raid. Todd Blanche's response to it. Is this targeting?

SPEAKER_20 1:13:59

FBI agents raided the office of powerful Virginia state lawmaker Luis Lucas. What is the nature of that investigation? And is she herself under investigation? It's an ongoing investigation.

SPEAKER_15 1:14:10

So just like with what we talked about in Minnesota a few minutes ago, there are times when an investigation goes overt and you execute search warrants. That's what happened today. It would not be fair to anybody involved for me to comment beyond that. This was a law enforcement operation uh during the course of a criminal investigation.

SPEAKER_20 1:14:29

FBI agents raided the office of powerful Virginia state lobby curve.

SPEAKER_25 1:14:33

So can't comment on it, but Senator Luis Lucas, she commented on it. Here's her official response. She goes, Today's actions by federal agents are about far more than one state senator. They're about power and who is allowed to use it on behalf of the people. Okay. We saw fits what we saw fits a clear pattern from this administration. When challenged, they try to intimidate and silence the voices of those who stand up to them.

SPEAKER_30 1:15:00

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_25 1:15:01

Okay. Projection. Just two weeks ago, Virginians sent a powerful message when they voted to stop Trump's scheme to manipulate the 2026 midterm elections. Voters across the Commonwealth made clear that power belongs to the people, not with politicians who try to take power from them. I was proud to help lead the effort, and I have never been afraid to stand up to Donald Trump or anyone else that has tried to undermine our democracy. I'm deeply grateful for the love and support of my family and friends and for the many colleagues and constituents who have reached out in recent hours. I will have more to say in the days ahead, but know this I am not backing down, and I will keep fighting for the people of Portsmouth and the Commonwealth of Virginia. Okay, so that whole referendum thing is like the last couple months. This investigation's been going on for three years.

SPEAKER_27 1:15:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_25 1:15:50

Democrats are big mad right now over the whole redistricting thing. And they, you know, Hakeem Jeffrey said it. It's warfare everywhere, right?

SPEAKER_27 1:15:57

No, no, no. He said it's warfare everywhere.

SPEAKER_25 1:16:06

Okay, dollar store Obama. APAC Shakur. So here's here's the potential redistricting in the southeast. Georgia could have up to five additional Republican seats just by getting rid of racism. Florida can have up to four additional seats. Alabama can add one additional seat. Louisiana can add one additional seat. Mississippi can add one additional seat, and South Carolina can add one additional seat. And Republicans propose to carve up this majority black district in Tennessee to add another one additional seat. Again, pretty significant. To return to constitutional voting districts, not racist ones, which is really what this is about. Here in the Northeast, in the New England states, this is what a lot of people don't realize. You've got Massachusetts, 36% Republicans, zero seats. Connecticut, 42% Republican, zero seats. Maine, 46 Republicans, zero seats. New uh they're all zero seats.

SPEAKER_27 1:17:12

Just go down the list. All zero seats. New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont. What is that? Hawaii? I was like, that's not on the map. Delaware.

Impeachment Talk And Senate Wildcards

SPEAKER_25 1:17:22

This is New Mexico. I was like, NM. Which state? Yeah. All Republican seats. So they've done this redistricting thing. They've gerrymandered themselves out of the game. There's not much more gerrymandering they can do, unlike that one in Virginia, because they passed a constitutional amendment to make them not drawn by the legislature, but by a bipartisan committee. So that was considered the gold standard of redistricting. Emergency. We can't let Trump win again. We need to impeach him. We've got to suspend the constitution, but just till 2030. And then we have to return to the norm. That's literally what the referendum said. We need fair elections. So put it back in the hand of the corrupt people, please. Unreal. So we'll see if if uh if Republicans have the guts to do it, because if they don't, we've got a real problem here. This is Rich Barris from the People's Pundit.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:12

Will Trump be convicted by the Senate? Will Trump and Vance be convicted by the Senate? Honestly, I think the odds are at right now are probably a little bit better than not. All right. Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 55% is a good bet. Because there will I, you know, as just think about what I just read before. Alright. They will not behave the way they behaved the first time. Once the threat of Donald Trump no longer being the leader of the Republican Party is removed, they're gonna be themselves. Lindsay Graham, his buddies, Lindsey Graham, John Corning. We could go down the list right now. Lisa Murkowski, if she doesn't just leave and caucus with the independents, which she probably will, especially if uh Graham Plattner beats Susan Collins, her friend. If that's true, she's gonna go over. Especially and definitely if it matters to the control of the Senate. That is what she has said to multiple people. That is from the horse's mouth. I know it for a fact. That is not that's not making shit up, which I never do. She has told multiple people that if it if it dictates control of the Senate, she's out, she's going to caucus with Democrats as an independent, like friggin' Angus King, or so-called Bernie Sanders being a Democratic Socialist. That's what she'll do. And and had said in one occasion that she is much more inclined to do so if Susan loses in Maine. So the odds are probably a little higher than not. Now, Vance, too.

RussiaGate Stories And The Dossier Game

SPEAKER_25 1:19:56

So he goes on to basically he's saying that Vance and Trump will both be impeached if the Democrats get control of the Senate. And of course, you'd have to get control of the House too, which if they get the Senate, you know, some people say it's gonna be like, well, they'll get the Senate, but not the House, or they'll get the House but not the Senate. If they get the House and not the Senate, Murkowski, Graham, all these corn in, if they end up in there and Trump's not gonna be there in his next term, he'll be out. He'll be out. And they'll do it by any means necessary. They'll lie, they'll say whatever they need to do. And one of their classic things is to take their degeneracy and project it onto Republicans, specifically Donald Trump. If you remember, here's James Comey. Man, he's making a real appearance on our show today, and Stephen Colbert both. Okay, this is James Comey talking about the pee-pee tapes and the pee-pee room.

SPEAKER_33 1:20:45

You went in in January of 2017 to tell President Trump about the SEAL dossier. How did you tell him that there was a, and I want to put this delicately PP tape? How did you tell him about that rumor?

SPEAKER_25 1:21:01

Okay. So they manufactured this by paying Christopher Steele through Fusion GPS that was paid by the Mark Elias and his law firm uh Perkins Cooey. So they took Hillary Clinton campaign money, paid Perkins Cooey, Perkins Cooey gave the money to Fusion GPS over in Britain, who then paid Christopher Steele, a former MI6 or MI7 operative, to gen up a bunch of accusations. They then laundered that information through multiple sources into the FBI, who leaked it to the press, who then put out publications. Huffington Post screwed up because they published the whole thing that actually debunked itself because it was so ridiculous. But then we spent four years chasing around Russian ghosts all over the place to try to connect them to Donald Trump. And then James Comey, with that information, this dossier that at that point wasn't quite made public, went to Donald Trump and tried to blackmail him.

SPEAKER_44 1:22:09

I didn't go into the rest of it. I thought that was notice enough. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_33 1:22:12

But you didn't mention the salacious detail of the two prostitutes getting up on the bed that oh the Obamas had stayed in because it was the presidential suite uh and and uh um you know uh engaging in some water play. You didn't you didn't you didn't mention that at all.

SPEAKER_44 1:22:26

I thought I'd I'd served enough notice without going to that part. Okay, and what did he blackmail?

SPEAKER_25 1:22:32

I tried to blackmail him. I'd served enough notice. Hey, I got something on you, so you know, just FYI, I can keep it quiet. Just like what they were probably trying to do with this Virginia senator. Hey, we got some stuff on you, but if you you know continue to play ball and do what you want and use that trust you've gotten from your district for the last 30 years, if you could just use it for our purposes, this is the MO every freaking time. And if you don't play ball, strict to jail.

SPEAKER_44 1:23:01

What did he say when you show about this? He denied it, he interrupted me and denied it in pretty strong terms and asked, I assumed rhetorically, whether he looked like a guy who needed the services of hookers, and then all right, let's keep on going.

SPEAKER_33 1:23:18

So you know, the people out there know I actually went to that room. I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton, Ritz Carlton, Moscow. I went to that room, we rented that room, which is really all you do. Now you're an investigator. Did did anyone from your office ever go to that that that hotel and look at that room? Not while I was director. Okay.

SPEAKER_25 1:23:34

I don't know, and not while he was director. You know why he didn't go while he was director? Because the room doesn't exist.

SPEAKER_18 1:23:46

Does that hotel with that room even exist in Moscow? It doesn't. It literally doesn't exist. Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is the first I'm hearing it. What? Come on. Serious. So we looked it up. Doesn't exist. The A hotel exists. Not with that room, not in that location. It's available on the internet. Anyone at the FBI could have verified that. They didn't do it on purpose because the narrative, the salacious and fake narrative against Donald Trump, is what they wanted out there to kneecap his presidency.

SPEAKER_25 1:24:18

And they keep playing the same games. Guess who got dragged into a quote unquote voluntary uh hearing over his Epstein involvement? Howard Lutnick. And our our favorite, Rokana, who yesterday we went over his literal criminal allegations against him for money laundering for take for uh insider trading and all that kind of stuff, ghost rental properties, likely as a conduit for money laundering and bribe taking, went into this hearing, this deposition with Howard Lutnick, which wasn't recorded because it was voluntary. And he came straight out, just like Adam Shift and Swalwell used to come out of their closed door hearings to say, we saw the evidence, we saw the direct, the direct stuff. They're setting the same thing up. It's an old played out game, just like what Trump says, just like what Trump has said about Russia Gate and all that stuff. And Epstein, it's a hoax. It's a Democrat hoax. That doesn't mean Epstein isn't real, that doesn't mean there's not real victims. It's the Democrats who do this crap, not me.

SPEAKER_35 1:25:28

Uh, if Donald Trump had seen the video transcript, he would have fired Howard Lutney. Uh, it was really embarrassing. He was asked very straightforward questions about whether he regretted misleading the American people. I mean, he said that he would never see uh Epstein again uh in 2005. And everyone knows that he took his wife and kids to see Epstein in 2012. And yet it was just contortions and lies and no acknowledgement that he misled the American public. And if you saw the exchanges that my colleagues had with him, uh you would see uh he made a uh force of the English public. I mean, uh he was trying to uh define I as if uh saying that what he really meant is that he would not see uh Epstein alone, but be totally fine with having his wife and kids uh kids see Epstein. It made no sense. And then uh he's raised even more serious. It depends on what your definition of is is uh concerns about the investigation. He originally had said that uh Epstein engaged in blackmail and uh recorded videotapes. Now he's saying, well, he was wrong. He was just speculating, uh, and Epstein actually didn't engage in blackmailing. This raises the question of what the cover up is. Did someone tell him to say that? Uh I've not heard that uh he is uh that Epstein never engaged in blackmail. Why is Howard Lefnick changing his testimony, changing his story? Uh he's lost all credibility, uh, and really it's a shame that the American people uh don't get to see uh what he did there.

SPEAKER_25 1:27:14

Uh it's just another hoax. I didn't see any Republicans come out and say the same thing, and I'm sure Nancy Mace would have been more than happy to do her thing, right? Who knows? Who knows? Who knows? You know, Howard Lutnick was literally next door neighbors with Epstein. And yes, he took his family to Iron, but he took his whole family. There's no allegations that his kids were abused. Again, Howard Lutnick was a powerful, I don't know if he's a billionaire, but close to it, right? He's a powerful person, and that's who Epstein surrounded himself with. And we have known for a fact there were a lot of people around Epstein that had nothing to do with nefariousness. They thought he was connected.

SPEAKER_27 1:27:51

He was he was connected.

Massey Primary Money And Israel Lobby Claims

SPEAKER_25 1:27:53

He was connected. This was networking, right? So Donald Trump has more power in the Republican Party than he ever has. He's Become an icon. He's much more than just the current president. Bush could not move local elections. Bush could not sweep out a bunch of senators in Indiana, right? And one of Donald Trump's targets is Representative Massey. Now, I'm conflicted on Massey. I openly admit this. I very much support his research and due diligence into January 6 and his support for January 6ers. I'm very disappointed in him getting up in front of signs with Donald Trump a pedophile and pushing this Epstein issue. It's up till now kind of gone nowhere. I mean, I guess there have been a bunch of resignations. There's been some stuff happening in Europe, not over sex trafficking, but over insider insider information and revealing state secrets, all a big deal. But that has not been Thomas Massey's focus, right? He's been focused completely on the picadillos of elite billionaires and stuff like that, which if it's rise to the level of criminality, I absolutely want to see those people held accountable. But that's the DOJ's DOJ's job. I'm conflicted. But when it comes to obstructing the MAGA agenda, Thomas Massey does a ton of damage. Is he a good person? Yeah. Does he have a farm? Yeah. Is he like a super smart, intelligent person? Yes. But you know what we also saw, and we showed it on the show. Guess where a lot of his campaign contributions come from? Some dude named Muhammad. Okay? Some dude made named Muhammad. And he is he has buddied himself up with the likes of Megan Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and those who, again, they have important people on. Every now and then we do play their clips because I care about who they're listening to. And I have been a huge fan of Tucker Carlson over the years. I'm very disappointed in his, you know, Sharia law is not that bad. It produces good results. You know what I mean? And and and Israel is running Donald Trump. And I know this. I know this, you know, and and we played the clip. It's like communist light. We played the clip the other day. I didn't call Donald Trump the Antichrist play clip. You called Donald Trump the Antichrist. Well, those words never came out of my mouth. So here he's interviewing Thomas Massey, who's got a primary in a couple weeks. And Thomas Massey up till now has run away in the primary 75% support or more. It's getting tight. It's getting tough.

SPEAKER_32 1:30:22

And so just to frame the conversation around that idea, what was your margin of victory in the last race in Kentucky?

SPEAKER_31 1:30:32

In the last race, primary, I got 75% of the vote. There was somebody that got 13% and somebody who got 12%. 75% of the vote. And in the race before that, I got 76%. And then the race before that, I got 81%.

SPEAKER_32 1:30:47

81%.

SPEAKER_31 1:30:53

Yeah, at the time he was saying to throw me out of the party, call me a third-rate grandstander, to which I claim I'm at least second rate.

SPEAKER_32 1:31:01

Fair.

SPEAKER_31 1:31:12

Single point lead for me. Um it's not very fluid. They've spent$10 million against me. And when I say they, I hope we get into they. Yes. Um and uh it's gonna be close. It's just gonna be it the result is gonna be based on who turns out.

SPEAKER_32 1:31:31

So it was 81% margin, 76, 75, like full on blowouts in the Republican primary in your district in Kentucky, and now it's within a couple of points, and you could lose. Correct. And the difference is they have spent$10 million against you. Um so I I don't think anyone would dispute that. That's the difference. The money poured into this race from outside of Kentucky is basically pushing you to the point of almost losing, and you may lose. Uh where'd that money come from?

SPEAKER_31 1:32:01

Well, it didn't come from regular people, it's come from billionaires, and it ninety-five percent of it, at least ninety-five percent, has come from the Israeli lobby.

SPEAKER_25 1:32:13

So um so it's Israel's fault again. But he takes Muhammad's money, no problem. I'll give you their proxies.

SPEAKER_31 1:32:21

The RJC, which is the Republican Jewish Coalition, APAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson went together. They funded a pack called MAGA Kentucky, which is neither MAGA nor Kentucky. But when the ad any of them live no, who are those three people? I they have been uh Miriam Adelson is the gambling magnet who's ironically makes money from the Chinese now gambling and not in Las Vegas. Good, good, good. I'm glad literally an Israeli. Yeah. She was born there. Yeah, um, she's given over$200 million to the president. He puts her on the stage. He says that she's influenced his own policy and attitudes toward Israel. And so she's trying to buy a congressional seat in Kentucky, along with the rest of these groups that are probably, by the way, getting her money as well.

unknown 1:33:13

Hmm.

SPEAKER_25 1:33:14

Interesting. So he's down to one point and it's fluid. And when he says that, you hear a little concern in his voice, you know, because again, the Democrats like to prop up Massey from time to time. And the Red-Green Alliance likes to prop up Massey. And the reason is because it's something called controlled opposition. Here's Barack Obama describing exactly what he would like to see from the Republican Party.

SPEAKER_26 1:33:39

You're right. The presidential center is nonpartisan. And the reason I want to mention that is because I'm worried about the Republican Party, not just the Democratic Party. Um when I was present people would ask me, well, what change would you like to see in Washington? I'd I'd I'd say, uh, I'd love a uh a loyal opposition. Uh I'd love uh a Republican Party that was a loyal opposition.

SPEAKER_25 1:34:05

As in, you're loyal to globalism, you're loyal to communism, but you know, you're opposing the things to kind of placate the people and you know make it look like elections are valid and create that plausible believability that you know 51% of Americans want socialism and only 49% don't. And but that's okay, we all go along to get along.

SPEAKER_26 1:34:27

Conservative in some ways that uh didn't agree with me on a whole bunch of stuff, but believed in rule of law and judicial independence and um empirical evidence, empirical evidence and science, and w wasn't constantly tapping into our worst impulses. Um, and there has been a Republican Party like that in the past, and I want to see that return because I think you have to have two healthy parties.

Democrats 2028 And California Cost Crisis

SPEAKER_25 1:34:59

I think you guys get it. I think you guys understand it. Gotta have two healthy parties for the kabuki theater. Yeah, two healthy parties for the kabuki theater. And, you know, they're gonna try the same old tricks. Guess who's leading to potentially be the Democratic candidate in 2008 in general?

SPEAKER_41 1:35:16

So Kamlo Harris has an appearance today in Las Vegas. So, you know, obviously a battleground state state that Democrats have to try to win back. Uh and she's making a lot of appearances, and her book tour lasted almost a complete year. And Harris is uh polling it near the top in the early 28 polls, and they are Democratic operatives are worried that she's getting the wrong message, that she's electable and that she's the first this, first woman, first black woman, first South Asian woman, and got caught up in the fact that she was and she knows how to work the White House. But she's many people believe, and I think I'm one, I know I'm one of them, that she is absolutely unelectable. But if she's gonna sit there and take up the energy in the room and a lot of the money, it's gonna stop somebody else from emerging from the pack, they believe.

SPEAKER_22 1:36:00

Just look at the headlines, and you can see that she's failing to read the room. Look at these New York Times, the California dream. Some Democrats fear Harris picked the wrong race. USA Today, op-ed, I voted for Harris in 2024. She shouldn't run in 2028. In the Hill, I've ed again, Kamala Harris tops potential 2028 polls, but she shouldn't run. I think this is interesting too, because there has been debate amongst Democrats that the autopsy of what went wrong in 2024 was going to be released. He did an internal autopsy. The chairman, Ken Martin, said, well, we're not going to put it out because he believed that they're they didn't want to reveal the the things that went wrong because they're working to correct them.

SPEAKER_27 1:36:43

Yeah. We need to be burdened by what can be.

SPEAKER_25 1:36:48

We need to be burdened by what can be, not what has been. Don't talk about gas prices under Joe Biden. Don't talk about the open border under Joe Biden. Don't talk about the transitory uh inflation under Janet Yellen. Don't talk about the lack of infrastructure under Booty Juice. Don't talk about any of that. We need to be unburdened by what has been, but burdened by what will be. These guys end up running again. And the crazy thing is, again, Kamala Harris. There's actually another clip that I didn't pull for this, but did you know Kamala Harris was the one who tried to take down Michael Jackson? No. Yeah, so Kamala Harris and Donald Trump obviously supported Michael Jackson. His kids used to play with him. He lived in Trump Tower for a long time. So there's like a news article, a newscast from Fox News back in the early 2000s where Kamala Harris is like, we gotta take out Michael Jackson, we gotta do this, we gotta do that. And if you go back now in all the the you know biographies of Michael Jackson, was he was aware of child abuse amongst elites and was really opposed to it. And he himself had a very childish disposition and liked to play with kids, but there's no evidence he was ever any kind of child molested or anything like that. Like obviously he was acquitted when it finally came down to it.

SPEAKER_30 1:37:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_25 1:37:59

Anyways, so you know, we need to be burdened by what can be. Steve Hilton is leading the uh polling in California for the governor's race, and he's followed by Tom Steyr. There's a lot of money being poured in this campaign. Who's Tom Steyr? He tried to run for president, he's a billionaire that made his money mostly in oil, but his turned green, right? He's turned totally green. He's a Democrat.

SPEAKER_12 1:38:23

Spending for California governors, top candidate spenders. Tom Steyr has already spent 145 million dollars. I almost sound like feel like Dr. Evil saying that 145 million dollars. The next closest is Mahan as a candidate spender. He has spent just six million dollars. You don't have to be a mathematical genius to know that 145 million is way more than six million. It's 139 million more. Even when you take into account the outside groups that are spending, the top outside group spending for Mahan is spending yet this$23 million so far. So Tom Steiner is spending more money than anybody I could possibly imagine spending to want to be the governor of California. But hey, it's a great state, I guess.

SPEAKER_25 1:39:07

It's a great state, I guess. How great of a state is it? Well, it's pretty much the most unaffordable state in the entire country.

SPEAKER_12 1:39:14

All of it back over the last year. Yeah, absolutely the case. I mean, you want to talk about pain that is being felt in the golden state, Sarah Siner. I mean, just take a look here. Say California's cost living is unmanageable. We're talking about 70% of all voters. That is very high. But more than that, you get the rare trifector. You get a majority of independents, 77%, a clear majority of Republicans, 73%. And then nearly two-thirds of Democrats, 64%. So you're getting about two-thirds or more of Democrats, Republicans, and independents who all say that the cost of living in California is unmanageable. This is obviously part of a national picture as well, where the cost of living, of course, is such a major issue. But in California specifically, the pain is truly being felt.

SPEAKER_11 1:40:01

It's not just the cost of living. There are other issues there. What's happening with unemployment in the state?

SPEAKER_12 1:40:05

Yeah, okay. So let's talk about unemployment. That's not the only economic issue in which Californians are feeling the pain. What about unemployment? We talk about the unemployment rate in California versus the United States as a whole. It has been at least one point higher every month over the last three years, every single month, at least a point higher. Now, obviously the two move in tandem, but California's rate is always higher than the United States as a whole. And I will not, I was looking all the way back over the last 20 years. And according to our partner at our partners at USA Facts, what we see is, in fact, all the way back since 2007, since 2007, the unemployment rate in California is higher than the unemployment rate nationally has been.

SPEAKER_11 1:40:49

Now, I know what attracts me to California. I do love the state. It's very beautiful. There's so much to do and see. But what is it economically that would keep people there or bring people there?

SPEAKER_12 1:40:59

Yeah, okay. So, you know, you see the cost of living being so sky high, right? You see the unemployment rate being higher than the nation as a whole for a long period of time, and significantly higher, at least a point higher, uh, over the last three years. You go, okay, why would someone want to live in California, at least economically speaking? And you know, it's just simply put, because there's a lot of money in California. You know, again, looking at our partner USA Facts, who compiled this data, where California ranks nationally. GDP, look, it's fourth. How about the median household income? It ranks fifth nationally. So, yeah, there are cost of living problems. Yeah, there's some unemployment problems, at least for us as a nation as a whole, but there's still a lot of goodness that comes out of California economically speaking. It's still a very wealthy state. And of course, it's these cross currents that you know a lot of folks out there are trying to manage.

SPEAKER_11 1:41:41

Exactly. And we'll see how they manage them. We'll see who the next governor is.

Local Taxes And Getting Politically Involved

SPEAKER_25 1:41:44

It's the who's been in charge of California for the last 20 years? Um, Democrats and Gavin Newsom. Democrats. Democrats. Now, California's always had one of the largest, if not most robust, economy in the United States. It's resource rich, it's they had Hollywood, I mean the Silicon Valley. It's got kind of everything going on there. It's got a lot going for it. It really could be a great state. So when you see all those complaints about California, it's because you're on the left track, you're on the communist track. So no matter what they say, 64% of those Democrats that are like prices are too high. If you sing to their ears and say, hey, we'll lower prices the Mondami effect, you'll probably get them to vote. But the rest of the state, make a smart choice. You've got to vote Republican. You've got to vote Republican. You've got to give them a chance at this thing. They will do what Donald Trump, Steve Hilton will do the Donald Trump plan, the populist plan. What's good for the peasants, what's good for the people, lowering costs, lower low, you know, getting rid of crime, getting rid of homelessness directly. Like direct things that will actually fix the problem. This is extremely important. Extremely important. On Tuesday morning after our local county Republican meeting, I came in here and I and I talked about how our Republican council member is getting ready to vote for a tax hike because of affordability and budget issues and all that kind of stuff. But there's been, in my perspective, no attempt to change the cause of it. The cause of it.

SPEAKER_27 1:43:20

All the regulations, all the policies, the things that make us unaffordable.

UFO Pastor Walkback And What’s Opinion

SPEAKER_25 1:43:24

We have been a blue county for a long time, and they have created a situation of control, of compliance with building regulations, with business, business rules. We have sales taxes comparable to the city of Seattle. There's no benefit for us to leave, you know, there's no reason for people to come here to buy things because things are cheaper. Sales tax is one of the highest in the state, right? There's been no attempt at that. Why? Because we've been Democrat run. So it's constantly a budget challenge. We need more money. We have to raise taxes, and they're going to run people out of this county, which is why you, every single person listening, you've got to go to politicalremodel.com. You've got to go check that out because you've got to get involved. We need to give our support to the candidates who are on board with the MAGA agenda. It's not perfect. No political agenda is. Are you going to have to make a compromise here or there? Probably. Every day. But stand on your principles. Stand on the things that are going to make our communities better. And when you compare and contrast Democrat-run areas to Republican-run areas, the picture couldn't be more clear. Don't buy into their projection. Don't buy into their dog whistles. Don't buy into their talking points. They've had plenty of chances to prove it, and they have. Their policies raise gas prices, they raise the cost of living, they lower wages, they open borders. There's there's there's injustice in the judicial system. All of that comes with that left track. No matter what they say, no matter what they say, they're always going to do those things. It doesn't matter if you're Tim Steyer, the billionaire, or Zorn Mondami. They're going to do those things. They're going to weaponize justice. The package couldn't be more clear. It's as plain as night and day. So please, please, please go get involved. Don't leave it to someone else. Be the change you want to see in the world. Join us at 1776live.us. Check out our Ignite presentation. The link is in the chats. It's also in the show notes. You can go click and register to come check it out. Put your oxygen mask on first and then engage in building wealth, including the greatest wealth of all, to actually have control of our country. Go get involved politically. All right, Ron, I'm ready to jump over to private. Okay. Okay. Sounds good. So we'll talk to you guys again tomorrow. And for those of you that are premium members on Rumble, you can join us in private. We're going to get an update from the pastors on the UFOs. Oh. Recanting statements. Oh no. Oh, yeah. Good. Good. And then we're going to talk a little bit more in depth about where we go if the Democrats continue doing what they're doing and if they're keep empowered by our broken political system with faulty elections and the dog whistles they put out to dehumanize the right. Remember, a far-right extremist just wants to go hang out on Ruby Ridge all by himself. Right? Not a threat to you in your neighborhoods. A far left extremist, they'll bring it to your front door. Okay, we'll talk to you guys in private and the rest of you tomorrow. Bye. All right. Okay, so here's one of the pastors. We played the clip yesterday, and apparently part of that briefing that he went to up in Tennessee was with Representative Bertelson from Missouri. And uh apparently he implied some things were said that weren't said.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:02

And he did call in, uh, but he called in to encourage us and to thank us pastors for the work that we're doing, and that we are speaking the truth to our people and pointing them to Jesus and not get distracted of things in the world. In that moment, I began to state things that I have always said. That is my opinion, and my opinion is, and that's exactly all it is, is my opinion, that when this disclosure comes out, that it will be spun, that it is uh that the aliens have always been here, that they seated us, that they created the first religion, and all of that. I should have stopped and paused and said that this part is my opinion. In the heat of that, I didn't. I I led with saying that they had called the pastors and I went straight into my opinion. So I want to make it very clear that Eric Burrison did not say those words, those were my words. And I want to own it, and I want to apologize directly to Congressman Eric Burleson for any problems that this has caused you, any confusion, and to any of the viewers that have seen this video clip. So I wanted to state the facts and make it very, very clear what actually so they were just spinning their own opinions.

SPEAKER_25 1:48:14

There are aliens, though.

SPEAKER_27 1:48:16

No doubt about it.

CAIR Strategy Talk And Public Masking

SPEAKER_25 1:48:18

Is that your opinion, man? Is that your opinion, ma'am? So this is uh Zara Zara Billow. She's the Cair California leader. Cayer is the Muslim equivalent to APAC, right? It's the Muslim uh lobbying group that spends a lot of money. And Gavin Newsom actually gave her group in California$40 million. Whoa. And she's speaking to Kyre supporters here. This is one of those like guys, this is just stunning.

SPEAKER_23 1:48:48

Now imagine your LinkedIn profile says I hate all Zionists. Replace hate with whatever inappropriate message. Like, you know, something I can't say here. Not strategic. Right? Like not strategic. And you may sit that, you may say that sitting around Kahawa House on a Friday night, but you're not gonna say it on your LinkedIn. And so think so one, we have to do the basics, we have to remember that Allah protects us. And then strategic versus reckless, and this is a ongoing process.

Ideological Possession And Political Violence

SPEAKER_25 1:49:22

So their real opinion that they share with themselves privately is they're anti-Semitic, hate Jews, anti-Zionists, and Allah protects us. But don't post it publicly, because then people will know what the game is. I got news for you. We the peasants know what the game is. Here's Glenn Beck talking about the danger, the danger of allowing this left track to continue. It only leads in one direction.

SPEAKER_49 1:49:49

In New Hampshire, there's a federal aviation uh contractor named Dean Dean uh Delichai, I believe his name is. He sits at his government. Work computer, and he's researching previous assassination attempts on President Trump. He researches how to smuggle a gun into a federal building. And the phrase he's using, I'm going to kill Donald J. Trump. That's not too smart if you're trying not to get caught and think they're checking every keystroke. April 21st, he emails the White House and he announces I Dean Delachai am going to neutralize slash kill you, Donald J. Trump, because you decided to kill kids and say that it was war when in reality it is terrorism. On May 5th, he's charged with interstate threats. Now, let me take you to Virginia. Same time in Arlington, Virginia, an activist there, blasters wanted posters with Stephen Miller's home address branding him uh guilty of crimes against humanity for enforcing immigration law. No state charges. You know that they're not gonna charge this guy? No, because it's protected speech. What? What? You're you're doxxing him and his family? Really? So what does Stephen Miller and his family do? They pack up and they move to military housing for safety. Now, this has happened before. There have been people that have been been hunted um and they've had to move, but never like this, because Stephen Miller's family isn't the own, isn't the only one. You know who else has to live on a military base with their family for protection? Marco Rubio, Pete Heggseth, Pam Bondi, uh, uh Gnome and Miller's family. And there's about uh six to ten of these uh officials uh that are now living uh for protection on a military base that is unprecedented in history. Unprecedented. And that's not all the stuff that just happened this week. April twenty fifth, eleven days ago, uh Thomas Allen comes into the White House correspondence dinner, shotgun, pistol, knife. He's trying to kill everybody in there. He wants to kill the president and any other government official. This marks the third time in less than two years an armed attacker has come within striking distance of the president of the United States. New charges, by the way, added this week. Attempted assassination. Uh in North Carolina, Daniel Swain's SUV is sitting in a car wash, covered in handwritten threats, headed to WSH to kill the president. That's another one. He's now in federal court. He's uh I'm I'm not making these are headlines. They're almost daily every day. Uh how is this happening? Uh uh What kind of sickness uh turns a policy disagreement into a license to kill? Uh I looked it up. It's called ideological possession. Uh uh and I want you to think of it like this it's a mind virus. Okay, it's invisible, but it is contagious. Uh and it doesn't turn people into raving lunatic, uh uh at least overnight. Uh it starts with repetition. Uh you have to be hearing the same thing every day. Uh cable news, campus lectures, social media feeds hammer the same script. Uh Trump isn't just wrong on borders, he's not just wrong on foreign policy, he's literally murdering children and committing crimes against humanity. And when you hear that day after day after day, ordinary people, neighbors, family members, co-workers, federal employees, they follow it whole. Why? Uh because the tribe therein rewards it and punishes anyone who expresses doubt. Show me the evidence. You know, they'll say, uh, we want uh we want warrants for ICE. Since when? You know that's not the way ICE works. There is no such thing as a as a judge signing off on a warrant. That's not the way the federal government works with ICE. It's never worked that way. Now you're just bringing this up, and you don't even know the truth about how this system works. Uh you just say he's going in without warrants. See, we told you he was a Nazi. They've never used warrants. But it doesn't require evidence. And your tribe punishes you for questioning, and so you just become more and more morally certain. I got news for you. This is the same hypnosis that made decent Germans in the 1930s believe their jurist uh their Jewish neighbors were a plague. Not because they were evil from birth, but because the propaganda machine repeated the lie until it became common sense. What happened at the Salem witch trials? What happened in Rwanda? You know that neighbors, uh neighbors who were friends began murdering each other because Rwanda Radio, the broadcast, broadcast every day, said the Tutsies, your neighbors, if they're Tutsies, you know they're cockroaches. They deserve to die. That's what happened with a massacre in Rwanda. What do you how do you think Mao got everybody to kill their professors, kill their parents, and turn them in? Same pattern. The victim isn't crazy, but honestly, the victim is possessed. And you can say it's an evil spirit or whatever, but it's a story that feels truer than truth. Now let me say something really clear here. And uh everyone on all sides needs to hear this. We are not Nazi Germany. We're not. Biden could be in, and I would still say we're not Nazi Germany. Because we still have the First Amendment, we still have elections, we still have an armed citizenry, but we're becoming something much darker than we were. We are a low trust republic where the other side isn't just wrong, they're monsters who deserve whatever death might come.

SPEAKER_29 1:56:33

That's a mind virus.

SPEAKER_25 1:56:36

That's a mind virus. As uh you know, the Democrat Party is a mental illness. Is it Michael Savage that said that? Liberalism is a mental illness. Yes, that's what it leads to. The left track always leads to genocide, mass oppression, tyranny, authoritarianism. The right side usually leads to independence, individuality, and freedom. Liberty for all. So pick your team. Pick your team and go get involved. All right, guys. That's it. Just to freak you out a little bit. Democrats are, you know, doing what they're always done. And we have to recognize it for what it is and stop trying to compromise with them. You don't want to be Barack Obama's loyal opposition. We'll just agree on policy, but at the end of the day, we win. Nope. We're standing up. All right. Thanks, guys. We'll talk to you again tomorrow.

SPEAKER_42 1:58:22

Hang on to our biggest imperial 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. The Britons. We all we are all Britons. And I am your king. No, we're the king. We thought we're an autonomous collective. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictator. Stop perpetuating autocracy amongst the working classes. That's what it's all about. Please, please, good people. I mean, hey, who lives in that castle? Who lives in castles? Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. What? I told you. We're in a narco-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.

SPEAKER_06 1:59:17

Yes.

SPEAKER_42 1:59:18

But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting. Yes, I see. The lady of the lake. Um the purest shimmering same. Held a lot excaliber from the bottom of the water. Significant. Excalibur. That is what you're king. Listen, strange women in poems. Distributive thoughts is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mantle from a massive, not from some philosophical aquatic families. You can't expect the world supreme executive power. Just got some watery power from a thought. Just because some moisture.
