Reptilians On Fox And A Bunker Election Room

Your phone is not “yours” if a basic wallet app can demand access to your microphone, contacts, and photos and do it while the screen is off. We start from that gut-level privacy problem and widen the lens to a bigger question: who’s building the systems that watch, route, and control everyday life, and what can normal people do about it?

We dig into Washington State redistricting and the legal fight over race-based mapmaking, then connect it to the downstream reality of power: state legislatures shape local districts, local policy, and the rules that decide who governs. From there we hit election integrity flashpoints, including a Georgia dispute over centralized vote reporting in a restricted “bunker” environment, a Southern California case where a voter registration operative pleads guilty, and Oregon’s massive voter roll cleanup that changes the math for mail ballot states.

The headlines keep coming: a deadly crash case involving an allegedly improperly issued CDL, claims about birth tourism exploiting U.S. citizenship, and the strange split-screen of UFO “reptilian” chatter while real-world governance failures pile up. We also cover the Trump IRS settlement and restitution fund debate, Elon Musk’s OpenAI lawsuit ending on a statute-of-limitations technicality, and the Thomas Massey primary drama playing out as a referendum on performative politics.

We close with practical money and tech: TrumpRX and prescription drug pricing, then a clear explanation of stablecoins, the Clarity Act, and why banks are fighting crypto rails while Bitcoin keeps building momentum.

Welcome to another episode of the peasants' perspective. I had to look up. I'm still show prepping. I'm still pro prepping right up to the last second. This is gonna be such a good show for you guys. You know it's always good when I prep right up to the last possible second, right?

We got a lot of people piling in.

Ghost Phone App Permission Shock

SPEAKER_08 1:11

Oh man, what a great day here. Gentini, good morning. She's out tending the cheeseburgers in the morning. By cheeseburgers to the audio listeners we're talking about, baby calves. Ron called them cheeseburgers. And it stuck. So Ron called them cheeseburgers. Let's see. Ferrazier, good morning in Boise. Carlitz, howdy all. Pony boy, good morning. Pray the Rosary Daily. Great intro. Well, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Let's see. What else we got here? We've got Carlito. Good morning from the tube. You know, yesterday, I gotta admit, this was kind of a moment of like, what is happening here? I uh I've got my new phone. I've got my my graphene operating system phone, which is awesome, by the way. Shout out to mark37.com if you want to get a ghost phone. Doesn't have all the trackers. Oh my goodness, I was reading through the permissions for different apps, right? Like, because what the great thing about this phone and this operating system is it will tell you everything an application is trying to do, what it wants contact with, when it wants contact with it. So I was going through a couple apps and I wanted to I wanted to kind of like show this. Find out they're getting deeper than the proctologist. It was a wallet. I wanted to replace the Apple wallet, right? Where you can tap to pay. Yeah. And I didn't use the Apple wallet a lot, but I thought, hey, I'll find one of these apps on the on the Ghost phone and maybe I can use Tap to Pay. That'd be nice. Because I've been known to forget my wallet a time to two. I've made it home on fumes of gasoline because I couldn't fill up, you know, didn't have my wallet. It's happened. I'm a human, I'm a peasant, I'm just like you. So, anyways, well, maybe not like you, maybe you're using Tap2Pay and you're never stuck without your money. Anyways, so I was looking through the different wallets that you can download, and everything on that phone you can download from the Android Apple store, but then you have all the permissions and stuff like that. So I was looking through it and I found this wallet, and it was like, what permissions? Access to your camera when the phone's not on, access to your microphone when the phone's not on, access to your pictures, access to your contacts, access to your other applications that would have contacts. So if you have Telegram or Signal or some other application, that those contacts. And I was like, why would the wall I tap to pay? What do you need access to my contacts for? I was blown away. Anyways, very enlightening. I ended up not finding a wallet that had no permissions that I was willing to cut off. Anyways, but you could do kind of cool things, like say I had to have a wallet, you can put it in what's called a sandbox, which means it can't access us anything outside of that. So as far as the app's concerned, there are no other applications with contacts or even a contacts file to grab. All right, right. Um, it makes sense why you would need access to the camera when it's on. I guess if you were like scanning a QR code, maybe I don't know, but some of it was wonky, anyways. It's interesting going through the apps, and some apps require like two permissions internet and the keypad, you know, and then other ones are like, uh, we need access to your firstborn son and also your bank account. We're just a calculator, though. You know, why does the calculator need access to my flashlight, Ron? Is that so it can turn on the camera? Just so it could be happy. Just so it could be happy, just so the developers can make some money. Okay, guys, thank you for piling on in here. So mark37.com if you're interested in a ghost phone. It's pretty fun. Okay, Fraser, what you have not read E U L A before? Oh my gosh, you're not even saying it right. End user license agreement. It was the next chat. Next chat. End user license agreement. Uh no, but I've read the constitution. I didn't think I needed to read the end user license agreement. I'd read the constitution. But apparently, wait, you can contract away those lot those rights. Okay, you guys show up for the simultaneous sip, and all you need is a crop or a mug or a glass, a tankard, a chalice, a stein, a canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind, and 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, right? It's the simultaneous sip.

SPEAKER_42 5:26

Why that coffee smells good. You know, funny how coffee never tastes as good as it smells. As you grow older, you'll discover that life is very much like coffee.

SPEAKER_19 5:35

The aroma is always better than the actuality. May that be your thought for the day.

Washington Redistricting Court Battle

SPEAKER_08 5:40

Oh, may that be your thought for the day. Yep. The aroma is often better than the reality, but we have to live here and we've got to continue to fight. Here in Washington State, the redistricting battle has touched a little bit close to home, Ron. So listen to this saga. This is put out by the Washington State GOP. With the recent Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana versus Callis, effectively prohibiting states from redrawing maps that use race as a criterion, a judge with any decency would have reverted legislative math to their original boundaries. This is here in Washington State. Sadly for Washingtonians, Judge Robert Lasnick, Western District of Washington, is no such judge. Instead, he is partisan towards Democrats while dismissing the Constitution and the rule of law. Read Lasnick's new filing where he refuses to revert the map back to the way it was for the 2026 elections. Despite this, the Washington State for the 2026 elections. Despite this, Washington State Republican Party is fighting in court to restore the map for this election and future elections and end the gerrymandering. Washington State has maintained a bipartisan redistricting commission for decades, avoiding the gerrymandering schemes many other states are currently struggling with. Democrats were obsessed with getting getting a Latino majority district out of central Washington, and Republicans agreed to one that was upwards of 70% Hispanic in 2022. However, Democrats failed to get their preferred white Senate candidate elected in the district, which resulted in instead they opted for a Hispanic Republican, Nikki Torres. Oh darn. You created a Hispanic district and they elected a Hispanic Republican instead of the white Democrat. What a shame. What a shame. How did Democrats cope with this? They sued in federal court trying racial discrimination. Yep. Parking judge Robert Lasnick had original jurisdiction over the case and in arrogant fashion ruled that the Democrat policies represent Hispanics better than Republicans. Oh, so it's not about who they want, it's who we want to have rule you. Okay. He ordered the legislatures to redraw their legislative map to make the district more representative of Hispanics, giving them a deadline of a couple months before the election. Democrats, who controlled the legislator, sat on their hands, opting for Lasnik to redraw the map instead. Lasnik hired an academic professional from Delaware to redraw the map. He then rubber stamped the map she drew, which made the district less Hispanic but far more favorable to Democrats, moving 14 points to the left. As a result, Rasnik reasoned that he was making the district more Hispanic and more representative of Hispanic interests. He also proceeded to number the districts so Democrats could get another shot at the Senate seat, renumber the districts. In 2024, the map unnecessarily changed 12 other legislative districts as far as 250 miles away. He drew five Republican incumbents out of their seats and moved two other Republicans' leading districts firmly into the Democrat column. All of this was completely unnecessary to redraw the map and mere weeks before the filing deadline, but Lansink wanted to give Democrats supermajorities so they could unilaterally change the state constitution. Despite this, Wad GOP, in conjunction with hardworking Republican candidates, managed to defend the districts they held and were that were gerrymandered by Lasnik, foiling his partisan scheme. You can see the original map on top, the commission approved, which Lassnik claimed was a racial gerrymander, and redraw and redraw Lasnik propose, which he claimed wasn't a gerrymander act. Lasnik frequently donates to very liberal Democrats, causes through his wife and political mouthpiece, Cedra Lasnik, to circumvent any blemishes on his neutral judicial record. Even so, he is brazen enough to vote Democraties and presidential primaries to reiterate Judge Lasnick is not neutral. Write your Congress members urging them to impeach Judge Lasnik for legislation. He unilaterally passes, and to write Judge Lasnik yourself, call him at his office, know what you think about his rulings, you can call his office at 206-370-8810 or email him at lasnikorders at wav.uscourts.gov. So let's see. Here's the let's see, which district is this? The one above. You can see the original map on top. So here's the original map on top. So here we are. Look, Kitsat County has its own district. Oh, this is for state. State house. Okay. Look at that. They've seen Kitsat. Very different districts. Wow.

SPEAKER_09 10:29

Very different districts. 250 miles away. They really did redraw that.

SPEAKER_08 10:38

For those of us that know Washington, we're looking at this going, yeah. Yeah, that don't make it. Yeah. Well, the good news is the Washington State Democrats are doing something about it. Stacey Abrams, you know, this has been a discussion that's been ongoing between myself and a couple other Republican comrades here in Washington State. And uh it's interesting because it's like, where's the energy? And it's like, well, the energy in the Washington Republican Party seems to be a primarily vote focused on trying to stop the Democrats in court, which I view as the last line of defense. Right? If you're trying to find a judicial remedy because you're out of political solutions, obviously you've there's a lot of ground that you've conceded where you're depending on these judges who may or may not be partisan in trying to defend our terror, our territory. I mean, literally, in some of these cases, like a Hispanic district that wants a Republican, when someone from out of state from Delaware gerrymanders it to be a Democrat district. Oh, but don't worry, it'll represent the Hispanic interest. Why? Because we said so.

unknown 11:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 11:47

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_14 11:48

Because Hispanics are Democrat, bro.

Stacey Abrams Warns Of Seat Losses

SPEAKER_08 11:51

Yeah. So Stacey Abrams over in Georgia, she kind of uh expressed how devastating this Supreme Court case, because obviously here in Washington state, we're able to challenge at least one district, right? Because it was racially gerrymandered, and that's what he wrote in his opinion. So the Washington Republicans are going to challenge this and continue it up through the appeals court process. It could potentially end up at the Washington State Supreme Court, and then they would have to defy a uh federal court mandate, which might give federal jurisdiction over it. It could be kind of interesting because they specifically stated the reason for the creation of the district was to represent a minority's rights. You cannot gerrymander a district based on race or sex, it's based on the constituency. I guess you can still gerrymander it based on Democrat-Republican, trying to create those kind of majorities, but you can't do it based on immutable characteristics of a geographic area. So this is Stacey Abrams. The Democrats are big time backpedaling right now. They are in a world of hurt despite what the mainstream media says.

SPEAKER_40 13:03

Stacy, could you talk a little bit about how this ruling will affect black representation, not only at the federal level, but at the state level? I'm thinking state lawmakers, county commissions, uh, city councils. To what extent will this ruling affect representation and the representation, particularly of voters of color, at the levels below the federal level?

SPEAKER_29 13:26

Absolutely. And that's why I think this is such an important conversation to have at this moment. In a competitive authoritarian nation, which is what America is now, democracy is about ensuring that we have shared power and shared voices. It does not guarantee you victory, but it guarantees you access. Authoritarianism, especially competitive authoritarianism, attempts to diminish your ability to use those same democratic institutions to your benefit. With these new maps, we know that analysis by Fairfight and Black Voters Matter show that we could lose 19 to 20 congressional seats, but we could lose up to 191 state legislative seats.

SPEAKER_08 14:06

Did you hear that? 19 federal congressional seats, but 190 state legislature seats. Whoa, whoa! Hot dog, hot dog, hot dog, we are off to the racist Republicans.

SPEAKER_29 14:18

And in the South, those state legislators draw city council districts, county commission districts, school board districts, and they draw state legislative lines. And so if you want to know if your child is going to have fair and equitable access to education, that will be diminished if your families can't participate in elections and elect leaders who value your education. If you want health care in the South, it's the state legislature that decides whether you have access. All of the things that disproportionately harm communities of color will now be decided by people who disproportionately dislike and vote against the needs of people of color. But what we have to remember, and this is why I started the 10 steps campaign, this is a national fight. It may start in the South, but it has national implications. Progress that serves the most disproportionately harmed communities lifts everyone. But if we do not do so, if we allow the blah blah blah, nothing means anything that she's saying.

Georgia Election Night In A Bunker

Skid Row Voter Registration Guilty Plea

SPEAKER_08 15:16

That's what I thought. But but 19, was it 19 congressional seats and 190 legislature seats? That's cool. Bueno. Listen, the idea that conservatives and Republicans and MAGA folk are in the minority is the farce. That is the farce. In order to just have President Trump in office, do you know the level of cheat we had to overcome around the country? I mean, at a minimum, 2% low end, at a reasonable amount, 5%. And if you tap into the conspiracy theory vein, 15-20%. Yeah, they're getting closer. 15 or 20%. We very well might live in a 70% conservative, 30% Democrat country, but the Democrats are activated and have been activated, right? They've got, and this comes all the way down to the core programming. The good stereotypical Christian, you know, American is thinking about heaven. Okay. They're thinking about good deeds in this life and family and the things of eternal import. The Democrat is not thinking about heaven. They're thinking about heaven on earth and the utopia they're going to create with your wallet. Okay. That's what they're thinking about. They're not thinking of long term, they're not focused on long-term investment in family and generations. They're thinking about the now. They don't think about the long term, right? So they so they become very activated in doing things now. And then, of course, every human being has the desire to be a hero, to make a difference. There's all these savior complexes that people will have. And then they end up wanting to take your wallet, take 90% of it out, and then give 10% to the homeless bum so they can feel good for doing charity with your money. And that's basically what it boils down to. Interesting. The other thing, too, is over in Georgia, there's been a lot of progress, right? There's been they called a special session for redistricting, but we still have some of these people that are still involved with the election apparatus that are hanging around from 2020. Yesterday we played that Zoom clip of one of the districts that had to certify their election right now. So we can get it over to the Secretary of State so they can hand the baton to Joe Biden, right? So in this next upcoming election, they've decided to again modify the way in which they come up with the winning results. And they actually use the word the bunker, where Brad Raffensberger and other officials from the state election board are going to go into a bunker where they are going to get the statewide vote counts so that they can determine who the winner is in a bunker. In this bunker, all other people will be excluded. No media, no observers, no nobody. Clearly, in violation of good conscience and probably the law. So uh let's see here. It is Favlin Farvarito and a couple of other candidates have filed a lawsuit. Actually, no, it's Senator Greg Dolezal has filed a lawsuit against Brad Raffensberger as Secretary of State. And basically, in order for them to say, listen, you can't just have the election night in a bunker, right? This is an emergency election matter. The Georgia general primary election is scheduled for tomorrow, May 19th, 2016. That's today. County election superintendents will tabulate and transmit results to the Secretary of State, who will then perform central aggregation, verification, and public reporting from the election night reporting room or equivalent facility, aka the bunker. So they want to stop that. Thank goodness. Okay, their their eyes are on the elections. Eyes are on the elections. The Republicans are very activated, which is good news because last year, if you remember, Republicans were losing a lot of these special elections, and sometimes by like big margins. Like Trump carried that district, and all of a sudden they elected a Democrat councilwoman or a Democrat state legislature down in Florida. Yeah. Trump is now represented by a Democrat down in Palm Beach. It's like what? Asleep at the switch. But this is the year, this is the midterm year, and so they're activated. Do you remember those undercover videos that James O'Keefe was doing of out on Skid Row, people signing? Guess what? Someone pled guilty yesterday. Which means if they pled guilty, they proffered, they're they're giving information on their higher-ups. This was the press conference down in Southern California. Harmeet Dylan was in attendance. They got the guy.

SPEAKER_18 19:48

And uh yes, James O'Keefe is the is the source of that video. It was uh there was a public reporting of an undercover video of her on video paying homeless people to register to vote. So I think that was widely reported. Um, it was all over the press. And uh as a result of that, we initiated and opened up a criminal investigation with the FBI. Not only did Ms. Brown pay people to register to vote, which is illegal, it is a federal crime. 52 USC 10307C. She also induced them to place false information on the voter registration forms. She had them put her address as the address to receive the ballots. What she was gonna do with those ballots when received was to be determined. But this is an example of to be determined, to be determined who paid her to vote which way of election fraud, and this is not merely an allegation, she has admitted guilt. She'll be appearing in court at 10 o'clock this morning, and uh she has agreed to uh enter a plea of guilty at the appropriate time. So this is not an allegation, it's not a theory, this is a admitted form of election fraud, which Oh boy, yes.

SPEAKER_08 21:02

Now, this might seem insignificant, but it's not. Her pleading guilty after being caught in an undercover video, there were a lot of undercover videos. This sends an absolute chilling effect through Los Angeles and that area that was involved in that particular scheme. Do you think they're out collecting ballots or signatures today? Not as many. Probably not. Probably not, just like conservatives didn't go to any protests for a few years after January 6th. Probably not. Stay away from the peaceful protests. Yeah, now she's pled guilty, and this is in relatively quick fashion. And the speculation, which is dang mere confirmation at this point, is that she's flipped on who was paying her. So they're pulling on that thread. This is really significant. In Oregon, just south of us, in Oregon, Oregon State, they just recently, after the lawsuit with Harme Dillon, who was standing there in that press conference, sued to clean up the voter rolls. Washington State is also in this lawsuit.

SPEAKER_13 21:59

They

SPEAKER_08 22:00

Sued to clean up the voter rules, and they removed 800,000 voters from the voter rules in Washington. In Oregon, excuse me. In Oregon. So for the first time in decades, Wash Oregon has a primary today. And this primary is between Tina Kotec, the current governor, Kristen Dresden, Chris Dudley, and Ed Dale. Dale. I'm mispronouncing all their names, right? So whoever this is a primary. And so whoever the top two candidates in this primary, I believe, then go on to the general ballot. Okay. So obviously you've got one Democrat running. So one of these Republicans is going to be there. Most likely Chris Dudley. Do you know who Chris Dudley is? Nope. Chris Dudley played for the Oregon Trailblazers. He was a basketball player in Oregon and has since made his life in Oregon. He's kind of famous for on. I don't know. He's very popular there.

SPEAKER_14 22:56

It's kind of like Caden Manning or Sean Kemp, if they got involved in politics, like sure. You know, after the 90s Bulls run, I kind of quit watching Battlefield.

Oregon Voter Roll Cleanup Fallout

SPEAKER_08 23:05

90s Bulls run. Clyde Drexler. Do you remember Clyde Drexler? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I believe he played with Clyde Drexler at some point. Yeah. So he's the tall white guy that was at the top. All right. So Oregon, 800,000 people removed from the voter rolls. Jeez, how many people are shot? Not that many. Now Oregon's about double. Washington is about double Oregon, and we estimate we have upwards of a million plus extra people on our voter rolls that when this lawsuit from Harmeat Dylan proceeds, a million people come off the voter rolls. That's a million less ballots that are going to be floating around there because everybody gets sent a ballot in Washington state. That's a million less ballots floating around, which is going to make cheating a little bit harder. Okay. A little bit harder. So let's listen to this. Oregon could be on the brink of significant change.

SPEAKER_22 24:03

The incumbent Democrat governor Tina Kochak, reportedly facing plunging approval ratings with growing concerns over crime, homelessness, and the cost of living. Republicans actually believe they have a rare opportunity to flip the state, which has not elected a GOP governor since the 80s. Joining me now to discuss Republican candidate for Oregon governor, former NBA player Chris Dudley. Chris, during the 80s, you were at Yale. Now you want to be uh governor there of Oregon. And for years we've been asking when these blue states, when is it going to happen? When are they finally going to reach that tipping point when they elect a Republican? Why do you think that time is now, Chris?

SPEAKER_41 24:44

Well, I think it's now because I think Oregonians are ready for a change. It's gotten to a place where we're 50th in education for uh testing on fourth grade from 47th to job creation. Uh we just have so many struggles. And it came close in 2010, lost by less than 20,000 votes. And I think right now, even more so than then, there's an opportunity. Here, and we had a poll last week that showed that I was beating the governor head to head, 48 to 44. Um, and so I think there's a path. And it's across, you know, it's across, it doesn't matter if you're Republican, independent, Democrat, uh, you want good schools, you want a growing economy, you want your kids to be able to afford to live where they grew up, and you want safe streets, and that's what we're talking about.

SPEAKER_22 25:26

Yeah, and along the safe streets context, you want to end the homelessness crisis there.

SPEAKER_08 25:31

And it is homelessness crisis ending would be nice. So Oregon suffers from many of the same ills that we suffer from in Washington State. In fact, they it's probably a little bit worse there than it is here because we still have quite a bit of big business.

SPEAKER_14 25:47

They've had the slogan of keep it weird for a long time.

SPEAKER_08 25:50

So yeah, yeah. And Oregon just doesn't have quite the same economic base the Seattle area does. It's just the nature of they've never really had a Boeing or a Microsoft. Well, they had Intel and Nike. Oh, that's true. I mean, I'm sure Tillamook cheese, that's a big deal. I mean, Tillamook cheese, it's a really big deal. That's good stuff. Probably more important than Intel, honestly. I had to pick. I had to pick, quite frankly. Now that NVIDIA's on the on the line, Tillamook all the way. But no, seriously, though, right? They just don't have quite the economic base. It's it's very much the difference between being on the ocean and being on the river, right? It's just it's different types of boats coming in and out and stuff like that. So but either way, 800,000 people were removed from their voter rolls. So now, in that in that poll where he says, you know, 48 to 40, 44, with 800,000 votes floating around, not that hard to overcome that 4% margin of error, right? Now it's going to be all that harder. I think the Democrats, again, they are very much on their back foot. What are you looking up here?

SPEAKER_14 26:54

Oh, I was just looking up at images of um, I was trying to find voter roll information on Oregon because that just seems like so many freaking voters. I was like, how many do they got to begin with? I don't know.

SPEAKER_08 27:06

Uh Shantini says, My brother lit, my brother lives southwest of Portland and says Oregon has declined so much since you moved there 30 years ago. I grew up a little, I spent I lived four years in Portland when I was growing up. I moved a lot when I was a kid. My dad was in the computer industry, it was super volatile. But we lived in Beaverton, Oregon and Aloha, Oregon. Okay. And I am an Oregonian. I was born in Oregon. My mom's from Oregon. Go Dugs. Yeah, go ducks. Anyways, they uh yeah, it has declined a lot. I I don't spend a lot of time down in Portland, but I've been back a dozen times in the last five or six or seven years just for one reason or another. Sometimes just going to a trailblazers game. Careful, not a good neighborhood down there, not great parking around the rose.

SPEAKER_14 27:49

No, I I went down there. I'm not going back. I'll get PTSD.

Illegal CDL Crash And System Failures

SPEAKER_08 27:53

Yeah. So the Democrats are absolutely backpedaling right now. Long term, they've got a real problem with this redistricting. They've gerrymandered themselves to the max. And now that Republicans can come back and say, hey, all these racial districts, like this Hispanic district in central Washington, yeah, no, let's go ahead and make it something else, right? Because that's unconstitutional. Eventually that'll get itself worked out. This could mean drastic changes for Democrat states all over the country. Now, the reason why they're the I honestly believe when you actually get down and meet with Democrats, okay, aside from the absolutely uh ideologically baptized communist, whatever, when we meet with reasonable people, which most people are reasonable people, right? Even if they vote Democrat, a lot of times it's just because this is what my circle of friends do. You're an educator in Washington State, you're for the most part politically agnostic, but all the teachers around you and the teachers union tell you you gotta vote for the Democrat because they protect teachers' rights and block, you know, okay, whatever. You're not looking very deep. But there are certain things that just don't make any sense. So, for example, should illegal aliens be driving semi-trucks on the road? Most people will say no. And even if they say, Well, I don't want to preclude them from driving on the road, be like, okay, but do you think they should read English signs? Yes. Okay, can we agree on that? Yes. So there should be some kind of English proficiency test in order for them to get licenses. Well, how about this? How about if somebody kills someone on the roads and we find out that not only are they an illegal immigrant, but that they got one of these CDLs from one of these states that doesn't require any kind of English competency or anything like that. And then they kill somebody. Should they at least be held and accountable and put to trial?

SPEAKER_14 29:54

Yeah, I mean, you would think.

SPEAKER_08 29:56

You would think, but here in Washington state, apparently our judicial system doesn't think that.

SPEAKER_20 30:01

An illegal immigrant truck driver accused of causing a deadly crash on a Washington state highway has been released, with federal officials saying local authorities ignored an ICE order to keep him in custody. William Agenes has more from Los Angeles. Hi, William. Hey, Mike, you know, right, you're right.

SPEAKER_21 30:18

Despite that ICE detainer, not only did Seattle's King County release him, it never even presented a case against 25-year-old Kamal Preet Singh, an Indian national, who illegally crossed the border in 2023, released by the Biden administration with a work permit.

SPEAKER_08 30:33

I want you to think about this. He illegally crossed the border in 2023. What was I doing in 2023? I was standing trial for illegally crossing a barricade onto the White House lawn. I trespassed onto the White House lawn. I got seven years in prison for that debacle. Okay. This guy crossed the border into a sovereign nation illegally, and he was rewarded with a work release. Illegally crossed the border. No disputing that. He was rewarded with the right to work, and then he was given a CDL by the state of California.

SPEAKER_21 31:07

Singh got a California commercial driver's license, despite rules against giving CDLs to non-citizens.

SPEAKER_45 31:16

Because all of these states have given them out. Like, you know, when somebody produces that CDL, they think, oh, they're they're here lawfully when in fact they're an illegal alien.

SPEAKER_21 31:25

According to police, Singh falsified his logbook before the crash by enlisting a co-driver to extend his hours. Helper vehicular homicide, DHS wanted to deport Singh. Instead, he was released when the state didn't charge him. Highway patrol, telling Fox, quote, this case is complex and we still have under investigation. We have found additional detail and needed to withdraw the original complaint. The case will be refiled in the near future.

SPEAKER_08 32:03

So an illegal alien crosses the border illegally, he gets rewarded with work papers, goes to California, gets a CDL driver's license, despite the fact that they're not allowed to give him one. That's complicated, Taylor. It's complicated because of all the people who assisted him in this merge. Okay. It despite not the rules saying you can't give him a CDL, they gave him a CDL. Then he got hired by a freightliner to drive a big red truck, which by the way, most Americans can't afford. No problem. Right? So without speaking good English. Okay. Then he falsified his logbooks, and then he did not break and slammed into a car and killed someone that, quite frankly, Ron, looked a lot like you and me. Just a white dude stuck in traffic. The system failed at every point that is supposed to be there to protect you. When people say government is the solution, it's not. It's not. The government's supposed to be there to protect you. They did nothing to protect you or I sitting in traffic. Nothing. Guys' logbook was faked. What about the carriers who hired him? Right?

SPEAKER_14 33:25

When we read tragic stories like this, it's like every freaking thing about it is so bad. It's like, what which part of this was the state doing the right thing? At no point.

SPEAKER_08 33:37

At no point did they have the United States citizens in mind? No, citizens of the world. We want to give them all opportunities. Nobody's an illegal. No, that guy was here illegally. That guy had an illegally issued CDL. He illegally altered his books, and he was illegally hired by a freight carrier to drive that truck.

SPEAKER_14 33:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 33:57

So who should be responsible in the negligent homicide case? All of them. Myorcas, Border Patrol, Joe Biden, Gavin Newsom, the Department of Transportation in California, the license issue. The freight carrier who hired him. All of them. At some point, someone's got to do a background check. Oh, we did. And it came up that he was illegal. So we decided pass go and collect your$200, please. Meanwhile, the normal American kid who wants to go out and do something like this, A, the wages aren't enough to pay him. And B, there's actual barriers of entry.

SPEAKER_14 34:37

And meanwhile, the state and the carrier are like, huh. And then late at it.

SPEAKER_08 34:42

And then the judicial system let him out.

SPEAKER_14 34:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 34:47

He's just out walking around somewhere in Washington, King County. I'm sure buying a bus pass to flee the state, right? And probably then have to go through an extradition process. This is going to cost the state of Washington to prosecute him millions of dollars. And all of it could have been preventable simply by following the rules. Simply by following the rules. Now, those are the illegal aliens we should be concerned about.

SPEAKER_14 35:16

Well, they're the only ones we know about, too.

Pentagon UFO Files Hit Mainstream

SPEAKER_08 35:19

Actually, that's not quite right. Now, a couple years ago, if you would have heard, but last night I played this next clip in the kitchen while my wife and I were kind of doing our things, and she just looks at me and goes, I can't believe I'm hearing Jesse Waters on Fox News talk about this. I'm like, I know. Do you remember when I used to literally stay up late at night watching YouTube videos about all the aliens and UFOs of the different species? Like I spent lots of hours researching this just to come to the determination they're never going to tell us the truth. And all of this could just be clickbait. Turns out might not be clickbait.

SPEAKER_27 35:56

We are not alone. The Pentagon released the UFO files a few weeks back, and we just found out over a billion people have visited the site. A billion. It's got to be a record. The War Department says more files will be released soon. UFO experts and top researchers have been investigating aliens for years. Their sources say dozens of crashed UFOs have been recovered, and what they found inside? Shocking.

SPEAKER_45 36:23

Do people think that there's one type of non-human intelligence that's visiting the Earth? Or is there many, many types?

SPEAKER_44 36:30

People who have been involved in recoveries have said there are at least four types, four separate types. Now I have not had direct access to that, but I I believe the people who I talk to four different types of life. Four different types of life.

SPEAKER_27 36:45

Four different species of aliens. Another scientist called them grays, Nordics, insectoids, and reptilians. All of them have two arms and two legs, just like us. Experts speculate the reptilians are scaly with long tails, like a lizard. Insectoids look like a preying mise. The grays look like your classic movie alien, and the Nordics look like a regular Swedish guy, but seven feet tall. We haven't seen the evidence, but Pete Hegseth says more evidence is coming. And there are a lot of believers in Congress.

SPEAKER_12 37:20

I have seen evidence in a skiff that leads me to believe there are things we cannot explain, and I have observed things that are of non-human origin and creation. That's my opinion.

SPEAKER_27 37:32

Releasing the files isn't easy. They've been hitting for years, and a lot of people want to keep it that way.

SPEAKER_11 37:54

That's kind of what runs watching.

SPEAKER_27 37:57

So why is our own government fighting so hard to keep these secrets? Well, a dozen scientists have either gone missing or died. Now we don't know if that's related, but people are scared to talk.

SPEAKER_10 38:09

One I thought was going to do an interview, and then a couple days before sent me a message saying after further consideration and long talks with my wife, I decided I'd be forfeiting my life if I participated in your interview. And I thought that was like a very unsettling message to get, obviously, but also very specific word choice, you know.

SPEAKER_08 38:29

I can't, Ron, I gotta say, I remember when we were sitting in the very first office doing the podcast, and you'd been around at that point, I don't know, 50 episodes. It was enough, right? And we'd were uh, anyways, and you go, I thought this was a conspiracy show. And I was like, God, it's news commentary for the common man, and you're like, these are these are all conspiracies come to life. Like, this is the news. I thought we were on a conspiracy show, and it's been kind of a joke ever since. Okay, that's this was Fox News.

SPEAKER_14 39:10

Well, you know why they're running these.

SPEAKER_08 39:12

I mean, Greys, Nordics, insectoids, and reptilians, Ron, on Fox News.

SPEAKER_14 39:19

Nothing gets better engagement.

SPEAKER_08 39:23

A billion people went to the website.

SPEAKER_14 39:25

That's what I'm talking about. Of course, they're gonna drip some more. Hello, they want another billion engagements.

SPEAKER_08 39:32

So we are now talking about the reptilians and the insectoids on Fox News, which which, by the way, you know, the reptilians eat people. That's a known thing. The mantises are do not share our wavelength or you know, individual value of life at any they lay eggs, man. Batches of eggs.

SPEAKER_14 39:58

Can we even communicate with these people?

Birth Tourism House And Citizenship Loopholes

SPEAKER_08 40:00

The Nordics are your models, okay? Like they're probably on the cover of magazines, totally incognito. And the grays are the ones that tickle your feet at night when you're laying in bed in an unfamiliar place, right? Like, like these this is totally crazy. And then where does Bigfoot fit in? I don't know, a file recording device for the Grays? It's like old news, old news. So those are the aliens that Fox News feed feeds us. Meanwhile, what we should be getting more of is the illegal aliens that actually run into us with semi-trucks on the highway. Or, for example, in this case, this is a reporter went to a house in Texas where reportedly a Chinese birth tourism center is being is You can't talk about it.

SPEAKER_32 40:43

So you can't talk about it. So make America come out.

SPEAKER_09 40:57

So he won't answer anything. Here he eventually comes out.

SPEAKER_08 41:02

This house, look at me, this house. Wow, this house has had over a thousand Chinese women come through and give birth and immediately take their children back to China with a birth certificate, the right to vote, the right to have a passport, to write to social security benefits and Medicaid benefits. This house has had over a thousand children, women who have come to have children in the United States just to turn around and leave.

SPEAKER_09 41:33

And this guy wants to know where are you from?

SPEAKER_32 41:39

Are there um women staying in your home that are from China who are giving birth here?

SPEAKER_11 41:47

Uh what kind of thing are you from?

SPEAKER_32 41:49

The daily wire? It's on the back. Okay. Thank you.

SPEAKER_08 42:06

Just a nice little house in some neighborhood in Texas. You know. Because that's painful to talk about. The the thought that our Supreme Court would allow that to continue right now, it definitely let's let's talk about the inspection.

SPEAKER_14 42:30

I'm gonna lean on that. Yeah, there's a base. Sure. Let's go for it.

Iran Pause, Strait Risk, Bitcoin Insurance

SPEAKER_08 42:34

That's where they're sending all the Chinese kids with American passports. Oh my goodness. Murtek, thank you. Oh, five. I don't know. Following Murtek on Rumble. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, thank you. Okay, thank you for the chat. Makes it for chats at the end of the month. All right, Iran is playing the snip-snap flip-flop-flip-flop game with Donald Trump, and Donald Trump himself is playing the flip-flop, flip-flop, flip-flop game. So Donald Trump posted last night late in the night that based on a bunch of other countries in the area being like, please don't continue to nuke Iran, or excuse me, bomb Iran. Nuke. We don't no more rhetorical nuking. But you know, no more bombing Iran. So Trump was like, Oh, we were gonna do it today, so I'll hold off a couple more days. Oh so Iran is starting to do some real tough talk. And again, who knows where this is in the negotiation process. Trump wants to surrender. Um, but before we do that, let's see if we can get uh new sponsor for the show. No, no, it's right there just refreshing until it comes up. I want to make sure we get this one in. Come on, come on, come on, Rumble. Give us what we need. You won't be disappointed. You will not be disappointed on this one.

SPEAKER_14 43:46

Come on, why it's not available. Should I just read it anyways?

SPEAKER_08 43:50

You should read it anyways. We're doing a freebie. We're doing a freebie.

SPEAKER_14 43:55

You love Israel, you stand with Israel, but did you? You know your portfolio can stand with Israel too. Wise Money Israel manages Israeli stock and bond accounts for Christians and pro-Israeli investors around the world who want their money to reflect what they believe. When you invest in Israeli companies, you're participating in the Jewish state, the innovation coming out of the Holy Land, and the nation God promised to bless. For many believers, it is one of the most tangible ways to put faith into action.

SPEAKER_08 44:29

Okay. All right. So here's the deal. We didn't take the Jewish money for that ad. We assume it would have been a good 27 cents or so. We did it out of love. We did it out of love. All right. We saw that ad free show. Ron was just, you know, spending the two or three spare minutes he had. We saw that. We are reading that ad today. Let's say we take the Israeli. We didn't take their money though, but we read it out of love. I just thought, what a shameless ad. It's like pipping for money, literally, because you love Israel. So you're going to have your stock portfolio with an Israeli Jewish money. Oh my goodness. I wonder how they thought this ad read was gonna get it. I can't believe it. But we read it. We read it because we had to read it. It's like the hugest what out there. I'm glad they didn't have to pay us so we can never say we took the Israeli money. No, we did it out of love. Okay, we did it out of love. So you guys just got exposed. What was it called again? What was it called? I don't even know. Yeah, someone needs to go like check it out and then uh wise money is real. Wise money is real. Wise money is real. It's just too much, man. Oh my goodness. That made me laugh so hard. Okay, so let's hear from Trey Yanks with regards to the Iranian conflict and where we're at.

SPEAKER_37 45:45

Luck is still ticking, President Trump giving Iran a few extra days to reach a deal. The president said in a post on True Social overnight. He had planned to launch an attack against Iran today, but held off at the request of Gulf leaders. He said in part on True Social, I've instructed Secretary of War Pete Heggseth, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Daniel Kane and the United States military that we will not be doing the scheduled attack of Iran tomorrow, but have further instructed them to be prepared to go forward with a full, large-scale assault of Iran on a moment's notice in the event that an acceptable deal is not reached. The timeline here remains the biggest question. The Israeli military remains on high alert, and the U.S. military built up across the region is growing each day. President Trump indicated this is a temporary pause to see if an agreement can be reached.

SPEAKER_01 46:52

And if they are satisfied, we will be probably satisfied also.

SPEAKER_37 47:03

Listen to this. Saying dialogue does not mean surrender, and a senior Iranian official, Mussin Razai, attacking President Trump on X, saying he sets a deadline for a military attack and then cancels it himself, with the false hope that he will surrender the Iranian nation and officials. The iron fist of the powerful armed forces and the great nation of Iran will force them to retreat and surrender. Still a lot of tough tough tough uh tough talk from Gulf countries, and we have a situation now where the region is still waiting to see if the war will resume in the days ahead.

SPEAKER_08 47:37

Wow. Uh a lot, well, a lot hanging in the Middle East. Uh so one of the challenges with this is the ships are not getting through the Strait of Hormuz unless they're accompanied by a U.S. battleship. So this is becoming a huge problem. Another thing that happened over the uh the last couple days is Iran established the uh uh Strait of Hormuz insurance company or policy or something like that, that you can buy insurance in Bitcoin. Of course.

SPEAKER_14 48:10

The only smart thing to do.

Cuba Rumors And Raul Castro Indictment

SPEAKER_08 48:11

For those of us that are into Bitcoin, right? This is just another reason why Bitcoin is where it's at. It is absolutely critical when it comes to sovereignty. Is they say Bitcoin is for enemies, right? This is what we're talking about here. It lets go, it allows a free free trade. However, they're gonna use this as a vector of attack, the banks and stuff like that. They're gonna be like, ah, look, Bitcoin's for terrorists. Okay, well, you labeled me, so I'm wearing the hat now. You took my bank account, you pushed me over here. I don't know what you want me to say. We'll talk about that a little bit later more. Now, John Solomon also put out an amazing report. Cuba is on the way out the door, Ron. Cuba is falling. Okay. Uh Enrique Antario, leader of the Proud Boys, was on with Alex Jones yesterday talking about he's Cuban. His sources in and around Cuba and the Cuban community are saying that probably within the next three weeks, the Cuban regime will officially fall. Which would make sense why this got leaked to John Solomon. They're going to arrest Fidel Castro's brother.

SPEAKER_43 49:18

Meanwhile, one more story to go. A sorry we broke here this morning. We expect the Justice Department on Wednesday to unseal an indictment against Raul Castro, the uh uh brother of the late revolutionary leader of uh Cuba, Fidel Castro. He'll be charged, uh, we believe, with uh authorizing the downing of two American humanitarian airplanes back in 1996, back when Bill Clinton was president. Uh, people have been outraging the Cuban-American expat community for decades that no justice occurred for the shooting down of those two American aircraft, which killed three American citizens and one American uh lawful resident. Uh, but we believe it's going to happen on Wednesday. And the reason the case suddenly got from cold case to indictment is because of Donald Trump's border policies. Here's a little ditty. Uh last year, the Trump uh border uh enforcement people uh arrested a uh Cuban Air Force pilot. He was retired. He had been let into the country uh by Joe Biden's administration, even though there were concerns he may have participated in that 20, 1996 downing of those two airplanes. Well, President Trump rounded him up, arrested him, charged him, at least his Justice Department did, out of Miami, the U.S. Attorney's Office of Miami. And now they have all the leads they need to make an indictment against the 94-year-old Raul Castro. By the way, if that indictment does come up and is handed up on Wednesday, Raul Castro will be one of the oldest defendants ever to face justice in American judicial history. We'll have you up to speed, and that will be covering all of that live on Wednesday here at Justin News in Real America's Voice.

SPEAKER_08 50:54

Wow. So they're gonna round up Fidel Castro's brother. That's a big deal, and they'll go get them too. I mean, they went they went straight into Venezuela and got Nicholas Maduro. So, you know, once they got that indictment with that wet ink, you just watch Wednesday morning. We're gonna find out they went and took a uh hospice, you know, they're gonna went to Walter Reed, took a hospice, bunch of paramedics, and they went down and got you know Raul Castro. Uh, time to place a bet on Polly Market, Pony Boy says. That'll be interesting. All right. Now, uh, what have I said a couple times today? The Democrats are on the back foot. The Democrats are on their back foot. Remember that interview with Shaver Basero where he was asked about the kids that were released into the country that they lost track of, that went and got jobs as slaughterhouses and whatnot, right? Yes. Remember that story? So there they released the pre-interview footage, and Greg Gutfeld interviewed uh mentions this on his show last night. This is hilarious, Ron. The Democrats cannot be pressured on any topic. They have gotten to the point to where it's talking points only.

SPEAKER_25 52:04

In all the hoopla over the China summit last week, the trade deals, screaming Chinese kids, the Temple of Heaven, otherwise known as Bill Hammer's hotel room. We missed a perfect moment caught on film. A Democrat upset he's not being treated like a Democrat, but instead like everyone else. Is this the start of your interview with Javier Becerra?

SPEAKER_39 52:28

This is the start of our interview with Javier Becerra in Highland Park.

SPEAKER_07 52:32

By the way, this is a profile piece. This is not a gotcha piece, right?

SPEAKER_38 52:36

Well, look, I think we're these questions are fair. It's in order to learn about you as a candidate.

SPEAKER_07 52:41

So why is about the profile?

SPEAKER_38 52:43

I don't know how you define profile, but I'd like to begin the interview.

SPEAKER_07 52:46

The way I describe profile is you talk about all the things that I've done, things I want to do, and uh along with some tough questions, but not only tough questions.

SPEAKER_08 52:55

Oh, no tough questions. No tough questions. No questions about my chief of staff getting embezzled money and financial fraud, no tough questions about my time at HSS. Please don't ask me anything about when I was in the league.

SPEAKER_14 53:13

I was thinking about uh running for office, Taylor, but I only if I only take easy softball questions.

Coalition Cracks After School Shooting

SPEAKER_08 53:19

I'll do a puff piece on you, Ron. Dude, that is great. Now, here's the other thing, too. The Democrat coalition, there's some real cracks in it. Remember that red-green alliance? The red part of the alliance oftentimes focuses on communism and it focuses on DEI and stuff like that. Now, the green side of it is like, yes, yes, you go abort your babies, but Islam never abort the babies, right? Totally against what the red side of the alliance is doing to bring down the state. And the greens just sitting in the wings, providing the uh the voting strength and the population base to eventually take over what the Reds conquer. That's the Red Green Alliance. Now, there was a mass shooting in an Islamic school in California yesterday. This is tragic. Okay. Uh my last count, I believe there were three people killed, one of which was the security guard, a couple other people. This is devastating. And what it started out in the press conferences, and we don't have to play it all, but what started out in the press conferences was a mother called the police and said, My child is suicidal and has taken the guns, and I don't know where they're at. And they started, you know, where could he be? And then there was the call in for the shooting at the school. Officers responded pretty quickly. And then the two individuals that were responsible for the shooting then turned the guns on themselves and died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Turns out in the beginning, the news was obviously going, well, this must be some right-wingers, maybe some Christians or something that are against Islam.

SPEAKER_34 54:55

For example, I was able to uh speak to the Imam who runs the Islamic Center there in San Diego, Imam Taha Hatan, who I managed to get on the phone a few minutes ago. And he was able to give me a little bit more um description of the school and told me that the school has about 200 or so students who attend uh that school. And he described for me what he had heard uh shortly after the shooting began, uh, which as he said um happened within the last hour or so. The school has about uh 200 students, it has about uh 20 or so teachers, and this according to him, uh and again not yet from law enforcement, but according to him, there are two uh teachers or staff from the school to be more uh specific that have been killed as a result of the shooting. That is separate from the uh now.

Get Active Locally In Your County

Trump IRS Settlement And Restitution Fund

SPEAKER_08 55:53

Here's the thing what's being reported here is authorities have just reported that the suspects in the shooting of the Islamic Center in San Diego, which left three dead, are a trans couple identified as Kane Clark and Caleb Vasquez, who ultimately suicided inside their car. Progressive media were blaming the attack on neo-Nazi activists, and it turned out they were from the Rainbow Coalctive. This is the identity politics. When you bring together a coalition that doesn't have anything in common, eventually you're gonna have these skirmishes. This is again, the Democrats don't have a lot going on here. Their power base is fracturing, their gerrymandering is being undone, their voter roles are being reduced, their politicians are being exposed. They're on the run. They're on the run. Despite posturing and despite what they have going on in the zeitgeist, now is the time for conservatives and republicans to get active. Now is the time because we need to build that wave that's gonna come and it's gonna take take your country back. So I want to encourage everybody to go to Take Back My Country County, takebackmycounty.com, where you can get involved in training on how to be a PCO, how to how to actually exert your power locally, right? And how to organize. So go to takebackmycounty.com. You can also go to political remodel.com, download the manuscript that that Mr. Gary Welch created. It is a phenomenal manuscript. It's about 80 pages. It's not a short read, but it lays out not only where we're at and what it is we're doing. It's the it's the manuscript that I've read from a handful handful of times on the show, but it also gives real practical solutions for those of you that want to get involved locally to take back what? Your school boards, your county commissioner seats, your city councils, your mayor, right? The the local dog catcher, the water district. These are people in positions of power that have an incredible amount of influence on your life day to day, right? If we can take back our counties, we've already taken back the state. Once the state's taken back, the federal government becomes feta complete. But we have to be involved locally. The Democrats are totally on the run. There's another piece of news that I touched on yesterday. The IRS has uh officially settled with Donald Trump on the$10 billion lawsuit, and he created a$1.700,776 million dollar fund,$1 billion, whatever, so$1776. You know, the guy's nothing but symbolism. And uh he created this fund in order to pay restitution to those that were targeted by the federal government. Now, this clearly includes January Sixers. This is likely going to include face act persecutees. This is likely going to include people that the war on crypto was against. This could include a lot of people. So this could be a very large pool of people going after this pot of money. In my estimation, the pot of money is a little bit short because when I think about the claims that I could have andor do have, right? I think uh that's a little that's a little shy there. Okay, especially if you start getting all the Arctic frost and all the all the Russia Gate people involved. Yeah, that pool of money is gonna go pretty quick. But obviously, CNN's in panic mode, and this is uh Scott McFarland. Scott McFarlane was in my trial. He showed up to my sentencing, showed up to my trial, and reported on me specifically. I have no love for this man, he's a lying liar. But one of my attorneys, I don't know if he's a former attorney or current attorney, uh, Mark McCloskey, and you may remember him. Go ahead and show the screenshot here. This is Mark McCloskey standing on his property. He and his wife were defending himself themselves from the BLM riot. Yeah, so Mark McCloskey is in the middle of this fight for restitution for J Sixers. Like I said, he was part of my legal team for this with Peter Tickton, Sidney Powell, and Mark McCloskey. There's been a little bit of falling out between them, so now I have to pick between these two sides. Oh, it's such a pain in the butt. But, anyways, he's the one who originally proposed the idea of Donald Trump taking that$10 billion settlement and setting it aside for the victims of weaponization.

SPEAKER_15 1:00:14

Folks out there might not remember his name. They probably remember the photograph of him and his wife uh standing outside their home in Missouri uh with a gun during the 2020 George Floyd protests. Fast forward to 2026.

SPEAKER_16 1:00:27

McCloskey was calling for this fund to be created. McCloskey has been a focal point of this effort to get money payoffs to January 6th defendants. He didn't send a back-channel secret message to Trump, Jake. He posted on social media within 24 hours of that Trump IRS suit being filed. He thinks the president should find a way to route some of the money to January 6th rioters. It has come to pass in about four months later. All right, Scott McFarland. Thank you so much. Appreciate it.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:55

Woohoo! These guys are like, it has come to pass. Now, this drew questions from Donald Trump at a press conference he had yesterday for Trump RX, and we're going to talk about that in a few minutes. There were two questions he was asked about this.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:15

Why should taxpayers pay for the January?

SPEAKER_01 1:01:19

Well, it's been very well received. I have to tell you, I know very little about it. I wasn't involved in the whole creation of it and uh and the negotiation. But this is uh reimbursing people that were horribly treated, horribly treated. It's anti-weaponization. They've been weaponized, uh, they've been in some cases imprisoned wrongly. They paid legal fees that they didn't have, they've gone bankrupt, their lives have been destroyed, and they turn out to be right. I mean, it's uh it was a terrible period of time in the history of our country, and they worked on it. I know the Justice Department it's really been working on it uh very hard. There's been numerous other occasions over the years where things like this have been done, but these were people that were weaponized and really treated brutally by uh a system that was so corrupt with corrupt people running it, and they're getting reimbursed for their legal fees and the other things that they had to suffer.

SPEAKER_13 1:02:14

I thought that's great.

SPEAKER_08 1:02:15

Now, of course, of course, despite the fact that they stole the 2020 election, despite the fact that January 6th should have never happened, despite the fact that the Face Act people should have never been targeted in the first place, there's always the allegation of, well, but what if they punched a cop? Oh, but what if they were violent offenders? And I always look at that and I'm like, dude, the the violent offenders shouldn't have even been there. You targeted the government against the people. You ran an op. You put undercovers in the crowds in the chat rooms. The SPLC probably paid for the freaking thing, right? The whole thing is a is a dupe. But then again, they drag out this concern.

SPEAKER_28 1:03:02

Do you believe that people who committed violence against Capitol Hill police officers on January 6th should be eligible for compensation from this DOJ fund? And are you or your family members going to be seeking compensation from that fund?

SPEAKER_01 1:03:14

It'll all be dependent on a committee. A committee's being set up of very talented people, very highly respected people. I think it's a committee of five. And again, I didn't do this deal. It was told to me uh yesterday. They said they're doing something. I do believe there has to be compensation for people that were destroyed. You have families absolutely destroyed, and it's all going to be determined by a committee of four or five people that are respected and uh very brilliant at what they do. Yeah, please.

SPEAKER_08 1:03:41

It'll be really interesting to see who's on that committee because that's gonna tell you which direction they're leaning on that kind of stuff. And I'm of the opinion, even if you were charged with violent crimes, you could look at my 111A, assault with a deadly, right? Bike rack. Well, I was violent. I was concerned about the pardons that they were gonna go, no, nobody got charged with assault gets a pardon. And all of a sudden we're sitting back there going, uh whose defines assault? You know what I mean? Like, like just because they charged you doesn't mean you were particularly violent. It was kind of a placeholder charge, right? So it'll be really interesting to see how they how they do that. Norm Isem, who, if you don't know who Norm Isam is, he's one of these law fair attorneys. He's suing the Trump administration over every little thing. Well, guess what? He's gonna sue over this. And Gary This guy sounds unintelligent, by the way. Oh, yeah. Which is crazy to me because he's been like an ambassador. He's not unintelligent. No, he's very smart. He just sounds that way. He but he sounds very annoying, too. He and Andrew Weissman just sound gay to me. It's so crazy. It's like, oh, we're gonna go after these guys. The whatever.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:50

Let's see ready for and being on our coffee with the contrarians today. Donald Trump has been dismissing his sham lawsuit in exchange for a reported$1.7 billion fund uh over his tax uh issues. Now, listen, folks, he can't be both the plaintiff and the defendant in a case. Constitution doesn't allow that. It's not a real controversy if you're on both sides of it. That's in effect what he's doing here. He's picking your pocket, and we are not gonna allow it. We have rushed into court on behalf of over 90 members of Congress to say, stop, thief. And the judge has the power to stop this, do not dismiss the case, and uh do not pass go, do not collect$1.7 billion for a fund for so-called weaponization for your cronies, and we Are gonna be fighting this. We did it at the same time. So that is some breaking news, and you make that possible through your paid subscriptions, you wonderful contrarians. You power the litigation work because we're owned by nobody. So all profit.

SPEAKER_08 1:06:20

So he just told you how they launder money into his thing. That's exactly how they launder money into the loffer thing. I'm sure George Soros is sending tips every day. Coffee with the contrarians. Ron, we've been having coffee with the peasants now for a year and a half, and we don't have enough money to pay our hosting fees. Let alone file lawsuits against the president. And I'll be honest, I think our show is a little bit better put together than him.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:47

Oh my coffee with the contrarians.

Musk OpenAI Lawsuit Ends On Timing

SPEAKER_08 1:06:50

Give me a freaking break. He just told you how they launder money into their lawfare schemes. Well, the peasants are broke. No, they're not, Ron. You know what I've learned at 1776 Live? Peasants are not broke. Oh, they just don't know where to put their money. That's all it is. They just keep saving their money, hoping it'll buy them something special someday. They are not broke, I'll tell you that. I mean, I, you know, I mean, they might be poor. They might be broke, but they're not poor. That's the right way there. They might be poor. They might be broke, but they're not poor. Um, okay. Another thing that happened yesterday was this open AI lawsuit. Now, we haven't covered this at all, but Elon Musk started a nonprofit called Open AI, and he brought Sam Altman on the board, and they were going to develop open source, free AI, a nonprofit.

SPEAKER_14 1:07:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:42

Sounds good. One of the things that Elon Musk, when you really look at his businesses, he is hyper focused on getting to the next technological leap and open sourcing it so that it can't be controlled. So, for example, Tesla, all of the patents that you would normally have, he's made free to the public. So we could go and copy a Tesla, and there would be no legal recourse. We could copy everything but his trademarked emblem on the front and back of the car. Wow. All of it is open. So you could just take it and copy it. Okay. Spay Starlink, he's the first one to do Starlink, and he's anti-Control Grid. Okay. So you think about Bill Gates and Amazon trying to do that, they're pro-Control Grid. He's already beat them to the market. Right. The Rockets. If we wanted to pay for a ticket, we could go to space. Right. Like he's he's made so much, and then obviously what he's doing on X, absolute freedom of speech. If there's freedom of speech anywhere, X has got it. Right. So he's trying to take what would normally be tools of control and just give them to the public and try to stand on his principles. I appreciate that. And that was one of the goals with OpenAI, it would be for the people. Well, Sam Altman came in and there were text messages back and forth. We did cover this where they said, we just got to get EI Elon out of here, and then we can turn for profit. So originally they took all this money, didn't pay any taxes, donations, gifts, contributions from rich people to develop this product. And then they turned around and made it a closed, woke AI program. Okay. And so they went into this lawsuit. And in the three-week lawsuit, Elon Musk eviscerated OpenAI and the board and Sam Altman as being completely frauds, totally money grubbers, completely took a charity and turned it into a for-profit business intentionally. Okay. But the jury came back and dismissed the case.

SPEAKER_33 1:09:52

And Sam Altman's OpenAI, the jury finding Altman and OpenAI not liable after an intense three-week trial. The reason for that decision is that the jury found Musk filed the lawsuit outside of the statute of limitations. Basically, he waited too long to file the case. So after three weeks of a trial, the jury said, Oh, this thing never should have come to us in the first place. One of those head scratchers, Sandra, in the American court system.

SPEAKER_26 1:10:25

All right, John. Meanwhile, this jump in, President Trump, and then he is going to appeal it.

Thomas Massey Primary And Insider Claims

SPEAKER_08 1:10:30

Now, this isn't that the jury came back finding that. It's not like they went back into the deliberate deliberation room and they were like, hey, did did Elon bring this case in time? No. The judge's instructions instructed them that if the case wasn't brought in a reasonable time and that was brought up as a defense, then you must acquit. And that's what they did because they went, well, the date of the statute of limitations was this, and the date of the lawsuit was X. However, there's always that idea that if you continue the conspiracy, the statute of limitations doesn't run up. So if they're denying wrongdoing, denying wrongdoing, denying wrongdoing, then that continues the conspiracy. Now, if after the statute of limitations ran up and they'd never said anything during that time frame, then they haven't continued what it was. So I I imagine we haven't heard the last of that, but that is a big blow to uh like you know the freedom. The freedom. Yeah, it's a big blow to freedom, but it's a big blow to our judicial process that a technicality like that would set would let such an egregious error go away. Now I am in favor of statute of limitations and whatnot, but at the same time, what a freaking mess that one is. Because it's like I I look at that as well, where were the other entities that were supposed to step in? You know, like the IRS, the Department of Justice. Why was it on Elon Musk to bring a tort claim over this when clearly this would have been a violation of law to the degree of being criminal, right? That's very interesting. Okay, shifting over to Thomas Massey. Today is his primary, so tomorrow we are gonna know if we're still gonna be dealing with Thomas Massey into the future or if he's a lame duck, and he'll probably go out in a ball of flame. So this is this is Thomas um Ed Galarian, who is running against Thomas Massey in Kentucky. He was on with Laura Ingram yesterday, and I thought he did a pretty good job in his little couple minute stump speech here. And we're gonna also be discussing a little bit after this about this interview with Cynthia, uh, his former lover that Laura Loomer did. Very revealing interview.

SPEAKER_36 1:12:45

That I say this race is a referendum for sure. It's a referendum to see if coastal elite liberal Democrats can buy a seat in Congress under the guise of a Rhino Republican who has served for 14 years and is nicknamed Ms. Representative Massey. Our term limits top depending on what county you're here in my district of 21 counties. Laura, thanks for having me on, and hello to the viewers. Greetings from Kentucky.

SPEAKER_24 1:13:14

Now, um, Massey is weighing in on Pete Heggseth campaigning for him. Check this out.

SPEAKER_26 1:13:21

Well, first of all, it shows that I'm up in the polls. They wouldn't be sending the Secretary of War to my congressional district if I weren't. I think it also shows I'm tougher than Iran and I don't even have a nuclear weapon. I mean, they are all in in this race. It's a it's basically um a national race at this point. And that's because, you know, I'm up there, I'm getting things done.

SPEAKER_08 1:13:43

Hear reaction to that. You know, in 14 years, he hasn't passed a single piece of legislation.

SPEAKER_36 1:13:52

14 years. Yeah. He's got a problem for every solution. He continues to be the MVP of the squad. He won that in 2025, hands down, he's the front runner for 2026. It's a pretty low bar, as we say in Kentucky. When you get the endorsement of the New York Times, that left-wing liberal congressman from California, Roe Kana, the Joey Bay Hart, and the ladies from The View, and to put a bow on it, that Crockett lady from Texas. When you tell folks in Kentucky he's been endorsed by those folks, they are dumbfounded because he's had the top cover of mainstream media for years. He's their darling. Laura, it wouldn't surprise you to know the New York Times came here a few weeks back. They didn't even talk to me. They interviewed him, wined and dined him, and did a lovely article on him because they hate us. One other thing I want to add, he has shipped in a bunch of out-of-state, no-name, so-called Republican Rhino congressmen, because not one of the Kentucky congressional delegation will stand near him because he's kryptonite. He can get nothing done for the Commonwealth. You don't see how Rogers, Brett Guthrie, Jamie Comer, or oh, by the way, Andy Barrers endorsed me. Nobody. But he's shipped in some out of staters. He's he is desperate.

SPEAKER_08 1:15:09

That is really interesting. He was endorsed by the members of the squad. The New York Times came down and did a profile piece on him.

SPEAKER_14 1:15:20

Is that the one where they ask the hard questions, or is that the one where they just asked the interesting questions? The interesting questions. Exactly.

SPEAKER_08 1:15:27

So you stand against national debt, right? Okay. His vast majority of campaign contributions have come from out of state. And in the interview, which we're not going to play this cliff, but one of the issues that Cynthia has with him is he was taking money from Iran. He absolutely knew he was taking money from Iran. So Cynthia West was on with Laura Loomer, and they were talking about what it was like to work in Victoria Sparks' office. She's a representative from Indiana. This little massy drama has revealed some of our worst feelings about politicians. One of the challenges we have as a Republican Party is we send these people to Washington to fight for us. And there are certain individuals that kind of rise up and they have a lot of social media buzz around them, just like the squad. Thomas Massey, Anna Paulina Luna, although she's kind of gone a little bit more mainstream. Uh Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Green, there's a handful of them. They spend way more time curating their social media feed than really in their districts. And I guess when they are in their districts, they're kind of leaning off the look at who I know and look at who supports me and look at whose shows or podcasts I go on. Look who I'm standing next to. Look who I'm standing next to. And, you know, I I've expressed completely honestly, I'm very conflicted with Thomas Massey because I really appreciate what he's done for J6 and some of the that storyline. And I I do appreciate the Epstein files being released. I do not like the way he did it. Cynthia actually mentions that. She's like, I appreciate all the Epstein information, but sometimes you do the right thing for the wrong reasons. Massey's reason, as she is exposed, was to damage Trump. That was his intention on picking up the Epstein files and running with that. That was his intention. It was not to get the names of the billionaires that are abusing kids to the public because he never did it. In fact, the only people that he claimed were Epstein victims was a police lineup they did. He doxed the innocent people who were brought in for a police lineup, which means they really had nothing to do with it. They were randos, right? And he doxed them all, obviously not reading that this was a police lineup. He just assumed this was a client list of some sort, right? That is like, dude, totally missed the boat on that. So here is Cynthia West talking about what it was like working with Victoria Sparks and behind the scenes what Massey was actually spending his time on.

SPEAKER_30 1:18:13

When you were working for Congresswoman Sparks, who is a close ally of Congress of Vice President Mike Pence, and she's actually his Congresswoman. Uh, did she say anything uh derogatory or negative about President Trump behind closed doors?

SPEAKER_31 1:18:27

You know, honestly, when behind closed doors, it was mostly like honestly, them trying to build a coup to oust the speaker.

SPEAKER_30 1:18:34

That was what at this point you're talking about, Mike Johnson. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:40

Now, I want to put this in context. Mike Johnson is dealing with a one-to-four vote majority in the House of Representatives. He needs all of the support he can get. He needs to build a firm Republican base. And every time they need the vote on something, what is Massey working on in the background? He's working on a coup, which means he's trying to drive a wedge between the caucus and the conference and the speaker. If he can just peel off a couple people, right, then Mike Johnson can't be the speaker of the House. At the moment when Donald Trump needs consistency and he needs the ball to move forward. I didn't know, I think I knew this, but I didn't cognize this that Victoria Sparks was a close ally of Mike Pitts. Makes all the sense in the world now.

SPEAKER_31 1:19:29

That that was probably, I mean, that was where like a lot of the hyper focus was at that point.

SPEAKER_30 1:19:33

When you say they, you're talking about Sparts and Massey? Yeah, yeah. Who can we get?

unknown 1:19:39

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_30 1:19:41

Uh Congressman Massey Styles himself is a constitutionalist uh and a libertarian. Do you think his votes and his personal views are driven by his principles or something else?

SPEAKER_31 1:19:50

I don't know. How much do we what was it, like 168,000 on hotels? Like I think it's a good talking point that that um, you know, for the believe all women.

unknown 1:20:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_31 1:20:02

Well, I mean, and that's the thing, like, right where you look at um, and and and that's that was what frustrated me so much. And I think there was one of my old tweets where I said, you know, that I can uh think of 5,000 reasons to call your and then the bull emoji and the poop emoji, and then the other one about I thought we were supposed to just walk away. We couldn't make a difference. And it's just um, you know, he would use that. And and and mind you, like I am, I personally am grateful for any information that we can get about the Epstein Files. Like you can do the right thing for the wrong reason. Does that make sense? Like it it was he wants to be inflammatory, and he's like it's like he's in this this war with the president, and it's an ego war for him. Um that's that's what I believe. Um and so I think that that drives him in a lot of ways. But I mean, is he more libertarian-minded? Yeah, but see, the problem with that is like if you want to create change, in my opinion, like come to the table with solutions and negotiate towards those, right? Because if you're only going to just die on that hill and not get anything passed or do anything, you're being ineffective for your constituents. And I've been to Kentucky, I've seen the need of his constituents. And what are you bringing back to them? So honestly, it's just kind of a failure of um governance, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_08 1:21:30

In 14 years, he didn't get one single bill passed. All he could do was vote on whatever the party let him vote on, but more often than not, he would take a principled stand and die on that hill and not advance the cause of libertarianism in any way. In fact, he would he would retard the conservative movement by doing that. And just like many other politicians, when we send him to Washington, D.C., who he was hyper-focused on his district in the beginning. I mean, he he started out local to make local change and found he was a pretty effective politician. Turns out he was lobbying himself to become a cabinet secretary under RFK, which makes sense why he wanted to break the MAGA coalition and try to break them over into the RFK camp. He admitted this on Orin Scheuer's show.

SPEAKER_26 1:22:22

One of the crown jewels for Maha. Um, Bobby Kennedy wanted me to be the ag secretary. This would have been the first thing I would have tried to get done as ag secretary. Make it easier for small farmers, sustainably managed farms to sell direct to consumers without this meat monopoly, the oligopoly of foreign interests, foreign countries, again, that own the meat processing plants in the United States.

SPEAKER_08 1:22:47

Now, Ron has Maha failed in that? Have we not seen lawsuits, investigations into the meat plant? Didn't we just get a huge settlement with all the chicken and pork uh producers to lower the prices and to break up the monopolies?

SPEAKER_13 1:23:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:23:05

So we got that. So you could have helped with that, you could have assisted with that, but you wanted to be the guy. And so it becomes another one of those reasons why you would campaign against Trump because you've got a seat in a Democrat's office, RFK, who now has completely come full circle on Donald Trump, and he's like, he's the man, right? Not what the media painted him out to be. So today, Massey, we're gonna find out. Polling's looking pretty bad for him. Even even Henry Enton says so.

SPEAKER_23 1:23:36

Get there, man. Look at this chance that Massey is in fact the Kentucky 4 GOP nominee. It has been falling considerably over the last 10 days, according to the cash prediction market. Look at this. It was 71% 10 days ago. Look where that number is now. It's 44%. So chances, more likely than not, though it is very close, very close, that Massey will in fact go down to defeat. But again, we're just gonna have to wait and see the votes getting cast and counted because this is quite close. But anytime that incumbent member of Congress goes down, he has done something seriously wrong in the minds of the voters. And in this case, if Massey goes down, it is that he crossed Donald John Trump.

TrumpRX Gets Mark Cuban Praise

SPEAKER_08 1:24:14

Is it that he crossed Donald John Trump, or is it that Donald John Trump exposed him when time after time again he would grandstand and oppose the agenda of the Make America Great Again crowd? Yeah, that's what it was. Over and over and over again. Now, Eric Trump reminds us these polls are fake. A week ago, Massey was 71% odds. A couple news story hits, and now they're tightening up those polls. This shows that Massey might not be leading, because remember, the polls are fake.

SPEAKER_19 1:24:45

I'm extremely pissed off. I sat there with my father every single day for six months in every courtroom across the country. I would not leave this side. I'm pissed off. I'm pissed off of what they they brought him through, what they did to him. But but honestly, the the the greatest the greatest victory in the world to me, you asked whether or not 2024 or 2016 was sweeter. I love being I loved I loved seeing Hillary Clinton go down. But honestly, given what they tried to do to destroy a man's life, to destroy a family, given how vicious they were, there was no better revenge than what we felt in 2024. When against every odd, once again, I think the first time against Hillary of the New York Times gave us what a 1.9% chance of winning, you know, that morning, election morning. Do you remember they were faking the exit polls? In fact, you called me about the exit polls that night and said it was BS. They were leaking these exit polls that were totally ridiculous. In 2024, when we won against all odds, despite the fact that again they tried to bankrupt him, they tried to destroy the family, they tried to put him in jail, they they did everything they could to make sure that he didn't have a voice at his first amendment was gone. That was the greatest victory of all.

SPEAKER_08 1:25:52

And now when you see what he's doing, they faked the polls, they faked the exit polls, and Donald Trump is not someone you want to come after. He can endure a lot. In fact, he can even endure someone like Mark Cuban calling him an idiot, endorsing Kamala Harris. But when it actually comes time to be in charge and he actually starts making real positive changes, even a guy like Mark Cuban, who did everything in his power to oppose Donald Trump coming into office, I think he even called him some slurs. I mean, it was nasty. But Mark Cuban stood next to Donald Trump on a stage because Mark Cuban does the online pharmaceuticals, the online prescription company. And he believes Trump has changed the game with Trump RX.

SPEAKER_35 1:26:40

Mr. President, um, I think other than you, I've been the biggest proponent of TrumpRX.com. And the reason for that is Republicans want cheaper drugs, independents want cheaper drugs, Democrats want cheaper drugs, and together I think we're gonna do something special. What makes cost plus drugs different is that when you click through Trump RX to our site, not only will you see a great price, but you'll see our actual cost and that we only market up 15%. And what makes this incredible, Mr. President, all the volume and all the people that are gonna come from the site as our volumes go up, our costs go down, which means we'll be ending up charging less to people over a period of time. So this is a special announcement, this is a special partnership. 559 of those drugs are ours, so we're really excited to be part of this. Thank you so much for having me. And I'll turn it over to Kristen.

Stablecoins Explained And Bank Pushback

SPEAKER_08 1:27:30

Amazing. Amazing. Trump takes the what the Democrats want, their issues, and he gives them results. That was Mark Cuban praising Trump RX, profiting from Trump RX. Wow. That's pretty incredible. All right, let's shift over. Uh John Otakis. Don't don't to see Mr. Mark and Trump together. There is hope. Yeah. The Democrats are on their back foot, man. You can't sit there. The Democrats constantly put out he's doing nothing for your pharmaceutical prices. Oh, yeah, then why is Mark Cuban up there touting cheaper pharmaceutical prices and saying he's the biggest spokesperson for Trump RX next to Trump? This was literally a guy on MSD and C. Remember, there was uh there was a whole bunch of stuff about Mark Cuban transitioning because he was wearing the Rachel Maddow glasses and right? How he had just lost his mind. No, Mark Cuban's apparently a businessman. And he's like, actually, this is really good. This is really good for America because Republicans, independents, and Democrats all want cheaper drug prices. Okay. So Mr. Wonderful was on with uh Trey Gowdy, who don't love Trey Gowdy. But nonetheless, this was a really great interview. And he explains what's going on with the Clarity Act, this market infrastructure bill, which is what that is, dealing with cryptocurrencies. And he's explaining kind of what the holdup on this bill is. This is a great interview, and he explains not just a little bit about Bitcoin, he kind of puts that to the side because you have to separate Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Okay. Cryptocurrencies are the control grid, whether you like it or not, but it's coming. Okay. Bitcoin is the door to freedom. So if you want to use digital currencies without being in the control grid, Bitcoin is your door to do that. That allows you to manage your entrance and exit into that grid, okay, the financial system. So having said that, he's explaining cryptocurrencies, stable coins, and how those work and how those absolutely revolutionize the banking industry. So totally worth it here. You guys are going to learn something.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:44

He is. I don't know how it impacts my life or the lives of other Americans. You're a smart guy. What is it?

SPEAKER_42 1:29:51

I've been on the crypto journey for a decade now almost, and I spent a lot of time on the hill testifying about it. Let's separate Bitcoin, which is a speculative asset. Some call it digital gold, but its price goes up and down and it's volatile. Let's separate that from stable coins, which you were just talking about, Trey, which are a very interesting product for financial services. Stable coins have value because they're backed by the US T-bill. So each stable coin is backed by either cash or a T-bill less than 92 days of duration. The beauty of it is you can transfer it in seconds, not days. So if you use the Fed wire or the banking transfer systems, your money gets lost sometimes. It takes three days and it's very expensive. You use something like USDC, which is now turning out to be the standard for many people, made by a company called Circle. And full disclosure, I'm an early shareholder of Circle, because I kind of believed in this solution. All you're doing is really expediting transfer. And so if you have a company like a country like Switzerland, which agrees that they're willing to take USDC, basically the American T-bill, you can just transfer it to Switzerland in about one and a half seconds at a fraction of the fee, and you're backed by the U.S. dollar. Now, why wouldn't we want that? We would want that. It just maintains all commodity prices back and priced in US dollars. A lot of people are confused about this, and there's a lot of controversy in what's now the Infrastructure Act going through Congress because if you hold USDC in your account, you don't get any interest under the new bill. That's what they're contemplating, which is totally unfair. And of course, a bank would say, no, keep your money in our savings account and we'll pay you 1% versus 3.2% you can get on USDC, which is the yield of a T-bill. So there's a little bit of a, you know, I like to call it a poo-poo match between those that issue stable coins and maintain that infrastructure and money center banks who can't stand innovation. And they've hired all these lobbyists to make trouble. But I think a deal's going to get worked out. There's a markup coming out right now this week, and I hope it gets resolved. And then we can move forward with this great innovation. That was a great explanation I just gave, by the way.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:12

It was. I actually understood it. So I think if I hear you correctly, stablecoin actually is backed by something for my friends who want to go back to the gold standard. But Bitcoin may be more speculative, and there isn't something that kind of buttresses that value. Is that close to your right?

SPEAKER_42 1:32:31

Okay, you're right. You're right. But I'll tell you something about Bitcoin and the whole crypto universe. Last October, when institutions thought that this act, uh, this you know, the infrastructure act would pass, they did their analysis and they discovered very quickly they don't need to own 10,000 crypto tokens. They're all poo-poo. All they need to own is Bitcoin and Ethereum, and they get 97%. And so all of a sudden, all the poo coins collapse, they never came back. And so there's 10,000 poo coins, and that was just a big speculation during the height of the crypto bubble. Now people just saying, I'll I only, if I want speculation on crypto, I just own Bitcoin and some Ethereum, which is a blockchain. There is one big opportunity out there, and okay.

SPEAKER_08 1:33:17

So mentioning this here, he's he kind of agrees with Trey Trey that Bitcoin is based on nothing, it's based on energy. Okay, so we've talked about this. I don't need to go into that. And Mr. Wonderful here knows that as well. He just kind of breezed over this. But this next thing is an interesting concept.

SPEAKER_14 1:33:37

I think he just mentions it as a differentiation from the stable coins and the other coins.

SPEAKER_08 1:33:42

Yeah, they're backed by their their backing is different, right? Right now, it doesn't change it's it's internet gold. Right, right. But uh point is it's it isn't backed by uh it's it's a store of value, whereas a stable coin is a store of dollars, which what happens to dollars, Ron? They inflate away. So stable coins do not solve the inflation problem at all. At all.

SPEAKER_14 1:34:08

So the the only reason that stables in the in the title is is that they depreciate in a stable manner.

SPEAKER_08 1:34:15

Yeah, it's a dollar, right? It's it's everything a dollar is, it's just on the crypto rails. Okay. You're not using Fedwire, you're gonna be using like QR codes to transfer money. It's a little bit different. Now, the next thing is really interesting, and this is where the opportunity with a company called Trusted Smart Chain comes in. It's the taking a company public, that process, New York Stock Exchange, Dow, NASDAQ, what these I, you know, how to become an IPO. Trusted Smart Chain has an infrastructure for that. So he's mentioning going out and trying to find that company. That company, there's a couple of them that are competing. And I think from my studies, trusted smart chain is the farthest ahead on that.

SPEAKER_42 1:34:56

I don't know who's gonna win this yet, but for 12 years, we've been talking about the SP 500 to go onto blockchain for contract analysis, inventory management, logistics, which is all gonna happen, but nobody knows which blockchain they're gonna standardize on. So if one of them emerged, and the way you would know it emerged, is that every single company, or at least one company of every in every 11 sectors of the economy, would standardize on that blockchain. Now, whichever one that is, I want to own it. I haven't found it yet. I've sent out my digital hound dogs to go find it, and then I'll buy that one because that's gonna be really big because it's just software, really. But whoever becomes the standard for the SP 500 for blockchain is gonna be a big winner.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:45

You know, Mr. Wonderful, if I had your foresight and your instincts, you know, my suits would be as nice as yours, and I might have one of your watches, but I don't have your foresight, so that's why so that'll be kind of interesting.

SPEAKER_08 1:35:57

That's where the opportunity with a company like Trusted Smart Chain comes in. If you have any interest in that, just get a hold of us at 1776 Live. We'll school you up on Bitcoin and that potential opportunity. Because I do happen to have some interest in trusted smart chain. So um, but it is a business opportunity, it is not a savings account, it's a it's an investment of sorts. Okay, so this was CNBC yesterday as well. Clarity Act has advanced out of the banking committee.

Bitcoin Price Forecasts And Power Law

SPEAKER_03 1:36:26

The banks have taken their mask off and their gloves off, and they've really come out very forward-facing against the bill, and they really are the last standout in terms of the group of organizations who have yet to adopt this technology, but it's coming. You can't hold back innovation, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. The technology is out there, it's going to strengthen the banking system. They're just being very slow and apprehensive to adopt it. It is still very early, and so many people are like, it's it's late. How is it that Bitcoin's already over 70,000, 80,000?

SPEAKER_08 1:37:03

And I haven't This came up in our community this last week in one of the workshops. Somebody was saying, Well, Bitcoin's overpriced, and it's you've missed the boat, you've missed the opportunity. Not at all. Not at all. That's like being like, Oh, it's the it's 1945, and the 49ers that came out to California, they picked up all the big nuggets. There's not any more gold in California, dude. You you haven't even scratched the surface of what's out there. You just did a preliminary easy taker, right? The guy that could just walk down the river and grab nuggets out of the river. Yeah, okay. The big nuggets that are on top are not there, but roll a rock over, you'll find some gold, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:37:42

And yet it's not too late to get in. Bitcoin follows the laws of nature, it follows the power law. And scientists and physicists that are studying the correlation and the historical price of Bitcoin are projecting Bitcoin to hit a million dollars within eight years. It's growing not exponentially, it's growing according to power law. It's a network. There's it's going to continue to grow. And we're seeing with all these big updates that we're talking about, regulatory clarity. You have Wall Street coming on board. All the brokerages are now allowing crypto trading and recommending allocations. We have so much demand coming into the space, and of course, supply is fixed. Only one thing can happen in that equation, and it is still early to get in.

SPEAKER_08 1:38:29

Only one thing can happen in that equation. So when people are saying, Oh, you've missed the opportunity, I'd like to show you something. So this came from Fidelity, right? Jurian Turner from Fidelity forecasts Bitcoin to reach one billion two decades from now, shortly after 100 million prediction for 2035. He says worth one billion by 2038, and it'll be a hundred million in 2035. And at that point, it'll just go parabolic because it becomes the reserve standard. One Bitcoin may be equivalent to one billion by 2038, according to Jurian Timer, director of global macro at Fidelity. This isn't Porter in the basement. This isn't Taylor, the peasant, pushing Bitcoin. This is Fidelity. Timmer backed up his asertation with a four-hour Bitcoin USD chart that combined the stock and flow model with his demand model, in Timmer's words, and then the article goes on. Now, this was article was posted in 2021. And these guys are still holding to that prediction, which is why they're getting into it in such a big way. Even Jerome Powell, the outgoing uh governor or chairman of the Federal Reserve, uh had this to say.

SPEAKER_17 1:39:48

I don't think that's how people think about it. I mean, it's it's so you know, uh people use Bitcoin as a speculative asset, right? It's it's like gold. It's just like gold only. It's virtual, it's digital. But people are not using it as a form of payment or as a store of value. It's highly volatile, it's it's it's not a competitor for the dollar, it's really a competitor for gold.

Trades Shortage And Workforce Training

SPEAKER_08 1:40:07

You know, it's yeah, they're still gonna have the dollar. It's called the token. But what's behind it will be stores of Bitcoin, which is where you store energy. Uh the dollar is just what you trade with in your local jurisdiction, or your rupee, or your euro, or your pound, right? That's not going away anytime soon. So for those of you that are like, okay, well, but isn't AI going to take all the jobs? Not all the jobs. If you want to be smart about your future and you want to trade your labor for money, which you need to do, right, uh, then the opportunity is in the trades. This is the Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, talking about the absolute shortage we have on tradespeople and how they're trying to redirect student loans from underwater basket weaving degrees with a minor in French literature into the trades.

SPEAKER_00 1:40:59

The stat that shows that for every five people who are leaving the skilled workforce, only two are coming back. So by 2030, we'd be about 2.1 million behind if we don't if we don't reinforce this. So this workforce Pell grant is just uh it's gonna be amazing, I think, to get people back into the workforce uh either through reskilling or newly skilled uh employees. So it's it's a really good thing.

SPEAKER_08 1:41:27

Yeah, it's AI is gonna take the software jobs and the office cubicle jobs, but it'll be a while before they take the the plumber and the welder and the electrician's jobs. So if you're interested in the trades, that's where the future is. Wages are absolutely going to rise because it is a supply and demand factor. Demand goes up, supplies down, prices and for those wages are gonna go up. So cool stuff. Thank you, Modern Diesel. Good show today. And it happens to be the very end. So you guys listening in public are gonna hear the outro, which you rarely ever do, because we've got no private stream today. We will talk to you guys again tomorrow. Bye.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:31

I'm twenty-seven. I'm twenty-seven, I'm not all. Well, I can't just call you man, you could say Dennis. I didn't know you were called Dennis. I did say something about the old woman, but from behind you look objective, they ought to make it treat me like an imperial. Well, I am king. Oh king. How'd you get that, eh? By floating the workers by hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. Is there ever going to be any progress? How do you do, good lady? Um king of the Britons. Whose castle is that? The Britons. We all are. We are all Britons. And I am your king. No, you're the king. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship. Stop perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes are working classes in the case. That's what it's all about. Please, good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle? No one lives in there. Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. What? I told you. We're in a narco-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. Yes. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting. By a civil majority in the case of pure internal affairs. But by a two-thirds majority in the case of quack. I order you to be quacked. I'm your king. The lady of the lake. Her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bottom of the water. Signified by divine providence. That is why I'm your king. Listen, strange women lying in pawns, distributive swords, is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some flashical aquatic ceremony. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some water retrous. Just because some moisture bitch loved the symmetry at me.
