Who Really Benefits From The Homeless Economy

A ceasefire, a shipping chokepoint, and a peace framework that claims it could reshape the Middle East for “5,000 years” sounds dramatic until you realize how negotiations actually get sold. We walk through the Iran pressure campaign, why “no nukes” and “open the Strait of Hormuz” sit at the center of the deal, and how tying Iran to an expanded Abraham Accords vision turns a narrow agreement into a sweeping realignment. We also react to new strikes, the messaging around enriched uranium, and what all of this means for stability, energy markets, and American leverage.

Then we bring it home to the streets of Seattle and Los Angeles, where the gap between what governments promise and what neighbors live gets impossible to ignore. We talk about shootings near Aurora Avenue, residents building barricades in Greenwood, and the uncomfortable question: why do cities mobilize fast to remove roadblocks but move slow when bullets are flying? From there we dig into the homelessness crisis, fentanyl and meth addiction, open-air drug scenes in parks, and the way “harm reduction” can blur into straight-up enablement when it’s funded with taxpayer dollars and detached from treatment, detox, and recovery-first expectations.

We also connect the local crisis to the bigger political machine: NGO incentives, “tax the rich” pitches, high-earner exit strategies, illegal versus legal immigration policy fights, and allegations around ballot counting and election trust. We end with the most actionable takeaway we have: real change starts at the county level, with organized neighbors showing up consistently where decisions get made.

Cold Open And Peasants Intro

SPEAKER_16 0:07

And then they went to the green! Do you know what's happening?

SPEAKER_00 0:16

Let me take the bomb!

SPEAKER_14 0:20

We're getting screwed, man. Every time we turn around, we're getting screwed. The revolution's gonna be true for the testing for sure. It's the little guys, the little guys that take the pump of everything. It's gonna stop peasants, man. We're just peasants. Every one of us. You watch those old movies, you see the peasants in the background with the kings and kings walking around. We're those people. We're those people. Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. Let's see, we've got Ferrazier and another is it? It is another great day in Boise. Most of us survived the windstorm yesterday. The rest are in Twin Falls.

SPEAKER_21 1:12

Okay. I was wondering what that meant. Are they all dead? All the non-survivors.

SPEAKER_14 1:18

Is Twin Falls like Death Valley? Like, what are we talking about here?

SPEAKER_17 1:22

What's going on?

SPEAKER_14 1:24

Uh Carlitz, good morning. Carlino and Tiffany on YouTube. Good morning from Lake Conroe, Texas. Welcome, welcome. Glad you guys made it. We are doing pretty well today. Let's see here. What else we got? What else we got? I don't know, Ron.

SPEAKER_21 1:40

We're getting a little moisture here.

SPEAKER_14 1:42

Did you feel like yesterday was my wife? My wife says to me, she's like, I'm not ready for the week to start tomorrow. Like whenever you have Monday that's a holiday, it feels like it needs to be Saturday. I need a day now to recuperate and get ready for the rest of the week.

SPEAKER_21 1:56

Yeah, but Monday Memorial Days do feel weird. They feel like Saturdays, and then Tuesdays feel like Mondays. It's kind of weird.

SPEAKER_14 2:05

But we broadcasted yesterday, so we are on schedule. Pharazer, bad when you have to explain a joke. They were blown into twin falls. Yeah, yeah, I got it. Pony Boy, good morning. Glad you made it. All right, you guys. I know why you show up bright and early. You show up for the simultaneous sip. And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanking, a chal, a tankard, a chalice or a stein, a canteen, jugger flask, a vessel of any call 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 better, the simultaneous sip. And it starts right now.

SPEAKER_18 2:41

It's not lost for me that the Democrats just want votes from anybody they can get it from. And they don't mind letting some illegals vote either. And that's inexcusable.

SPEAKER_14 2:51

Stephen Smith of the win there. Oh man, we've got some good couple clips that we pull up from time to time. All right, today we are going to talk about some things that most people don't like to acknowledge or talk

Iran Negotiations And The Big Ask

SPEAKER_14 3:03

about. But we're going to talk about first, before that, we're going to talk about the situation in Iran. So in the Middle East, things are really heating up. And this is very hard to see here. We'll see if I can make it any bigger. I can't really. Trump wrote a banger on his true social today. So I want to take a step back for just a moment. The situation in Iran has been kind of played out. I'm bored. I'm ready to be done with Iran. I'm ready to win. Tension span is pretty short here. Now, unlike Iraq, which ended up being a 20-year debacle or Afghanistan, this Iran thing seems to be on the verge of conclusion every day for the last month.

SPEAKER_21 3:43

Constantly.

SPEAKER_14 3:44

Right. Now, I don't think that's a bad thing. I would rather be on the verge of conclusion than on the verge of acceleration, I guess.

SPEAKER_21 3:52

Sure.

SPEAKER_14 3:53

I like that the I'd like the projection of let's get this over with. I like the projection of let's get this over with. But one of the things I've noticed is as we've gone through these negotiation stages is that every time we're one or two days away from resolution, the resolution gets bigger and better than the last one. Right. It's almost like we're selling past the close here. If I was looking at this from a negotiation business standpoint, I'd be like, man, who's ever negotiated this is selling past the close. He's getting more and more and more every time we're a day or two away from negotiations. Right. But the top line.

SPEAKER_21 4:31

There's like two codes of undercoating on this car.

SPEAKER_14 4:34

Yeah. The top line is no nukes and straight up for Moose is open. Yep. Right. So you'd think that any deal that included that, Trump would sign off on. But what's happening is the Iranians don't want to give up the nukes and they don't want to open the straight. And so they're giving other things away to try to hold on to that. But the other things they're get giving away are starting to be so good on our end that it really makes you wonder. So here's this post from Donald Trump negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely. It will not only be a great deal for all, or no deal at all, back to the battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever. And nobody wants that. During my discussions on Saturday with President Muhammad bin Salomon al-Sus Saud of Saudi Arabia, Muhammad bin Zaeid al-Nayyan of the United Arab Emirates. Oh man, please forgive me, guys. Amir Tamin bin Hamad bin Khalifa al-Tani, Prime Minister Muhammad bin Aburran bin Jasim bin Jabir al-Tamini, and Minister Ali Al-Tawad of Qatar, Field Marshal Saeed Hashim Munir Ahmed Saha of Pakistan, President Rikap Tayyip Ergadon of Turkey, and President Abdil Fatah el Sisi of Egypt, King Abdullah II of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Asa Al-Khalifa of Bahran. I stated that after all the work done by the United States to try to pull off this very complex puzzle together, and that it is, just those names. I mean, they they probably had to spell check that like five times. It should be mandatory that all of these countries, at a minimum, simultaneously sign on to the Abraham Accords. That's pretty big deal there. Those countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, already a member, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain already a member. It may be possible that one or two have have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted. But most should be ready, willing, and able to make this settlement with Iran a far more historic event than it would otherwise be. The Abraham Accords have proven to be for the countries involved, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan, a financial, economic, and social boom even during this time of conflict and war, with the current members never even suggesting leaving or taking so much as a pause. The reason for this is that the Abraham Accords have been great for them and will be even better for everyone, everybody, and bring true power, strength, and peace to the Middle East for the first time in 5,000 years. It will be a document respected like no other that has ever been signed anywhere in the world. Its level of import of importance and prestige will be unparalleled, and it should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit. If they don't, they should not be part of the deal in that it shows bad intention in speaking to numerous of the great leaders mentioned above. They would be honored as soon as our document is signed to have the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the Abraham Accords. Wow. Now that would be something special. This would be the most important deal that any of these great, but always in conflict countries will ever sign. Nothing in the past or in the future will surpass it. Therefore, I am mandatorily requesting that all countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that if Iran signs the agreement with me as president of the United States of America, it would be an honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled world coalition. The Middle East would be in the be the United, powerful, and economically strong, like perhaps no other area in the world. By copy of this truth, I am asking my representatives to begin and successfully complete the process of signing these countries into the already historic Abraham Accords. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America. Wowzers. Ron, can you unpack that for me? What is he saying there?

SPEAKER_21 8:39

Well, let's see. Two thoughts I had. They're both just funny thoughts that I don't think they matter. Um, the 5,000 years thing that he mentioned, I was like, whoa, does that mean we're gonna go all the way back to when Kane slew Abel?

SPEAKER_14 8:56

By somebody's count, I guess you can get there. It's always been a bad neighborhood. It's always been a bad neighborhood.

SPEAKER_21 9:09

The other thing was uh that saying near the end, what Trump said, what did he say again? By by my by this truth?

SPEAKER_14 9:16

By copy of this truth.

SPEAKER_21 9:17

By truth social truth. Is that like a saying in the Middle East or something?

SPEAKER_14 9:21

No, no, it's like by copy of this tweet, by note, by by receipt of this notice, truth social. So by copy of this truth, that's what you call a post on truth social. Okay. You're like, wow, that is some dramatic language. I did that's what I thought. I think this is very significant here. The idea that we would have a detente or a ceasefire or a peace deal with Iran, and then Iran would join the Abraham Accords.

SPEAKER_21 9:48

Yeah, I'm not sure that's gonna happen. What do you think about that?

SPEAKER_14 9:53

Well, apparently they're working it up. I mean, he told his people to draft the appropriate documents.

SPEAKER_21 9:58

Well, I'm just sitting here thinking, like, all of a sudden, all these I I don't know, tribes probably not the right word, but all these people in the Middle East are all of a sudden supposed to all just sign on and be part of the greatest, you know, love coalition together forever. Like, okay, I don't know.

SPEAKER_14 10:16

That's a pretty big ask. He's selling past the cell. I'll tell you that right here. I mean, it's not just a ceasefire, it's straight up, let's go into brotherly love. Yeah, who by us. This is pretty significant. The Abraham Accords have been very influential on Israel and the handful of countries that are a part of it. I mean, we've got things like flights going back and forth, economic cooperation. It's a big deal. So, you know, I think the Abraham Accords, the Trump deserved a Nobel Peace Prize for putting those together in his first term, and they've held. They held through the Biden administration.

SPEAKER_21 10:49

Well, if he can get all these tribes to be on board and and go along with it, he deserves a peace prize. Yeah, I know. It's pretty significant.

SPEAKER_14 10:58

So I think that that's a really good thing. And uh, you know, apparently, however, there was some strikes on Iran last

Airstrikes And The Strait Of Hormuz

SPEAKER_14 11:06

night. So let's listen to Fox News this morning, breaking this down.

SPEAKER_30 11:14

And Iran's supreme leader is calling for an end to U.S. military bases in the Gulf region, saying, quote, the hands of time will not turn back.

SPEAKER_13 11:23

Chief foreign correspondent trade units joining us now live from Tel Aviv with the very latest. Good morning, Trey.

SPEAKER_33 11:30

Yeah, hey guys, good morning. Overnight, the United States conducted airstrikes against southern Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM says these strikes were defensive in nature and went after mine-laying vessels along with a surface-to-air missile position. These were the first U.S. strikes that have targeted Iran since early May. A spokesperson for Iran's armed forces said any new aggression will be met with a far more severe response. The strikes come amid the backdrop of ongoing diplomatic efforts to reach an agreement between Iran and the United States. Overnight, President Trump laid out a condition that he has, saying on Truth Social, the enriched uranium nuclear dust will either be immediately turned over to the United States to be brought home and destroyed, or preferably in conjunction and coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran, destroyed in place or at another acceptable location with the Atomic Energy Commission or its equivalent being witness to this process and event. Thank you for your attention to this matter. The other key issue has to do with the Strait of Hormuz. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated the Trump administration position on this critical waterway during a gaggle today. The strings have to be opened. And uh obviously that needs to happen. We're also tracking developments in the conflict between Israel and Iran.

SPEAKER_14 12:59

So basically, Trump is like, hey, everybody, let's do kumbaia site onto the piece of cords. So there's still a little bit of fire, fire action going on over there. So I think ultimately what it boils down to is this it's the time is ripe. It's time for Iran to get do get going on something. I think America has a lot more longevity. Listen, man, I mean, we just barely got done with a 20-year conflict. We can stick around in the neighborhood for a few more weeks, okay? And I think that's kind of the attitude here is we're not boots on the ground. This is costing us, it's obviously costing us a lot, but it's costing us very little comparatively to what it could be costing us to just sit and enforce the blockade and to put the pressure on them. It hurts them more than it hurts us. We're benefiting from this in the in the big top dollar scheme of things. Whatever money we're spending overseas to maintain the boats over there is a fraction of what we're earning in the ports of Houston and New Orleans, right? In selling oil, like call it. We're getting that revenue.

SPEAKER_04 13:58

Yeah, call it a coupon. Call it a coupon. Exactly. The Iranian mules have to understand that their window of opportunity is rapidly closing. And I have the utmost confidence in President Trump and Marco Rubio and Pete Exit to make sure that the interests of the United States and the world were at large are taken care of. That means Iran must never have a nuclear weapon. That's let's remember it's not just the 60% uranium, it's the 3 uh.75 to like 20% that rapidly moved to weapons grade uranium. So that has to get out of that country because these molos cannot be trusted, period. The Iranian moles.

SPEAKER_14 14:31

And I think that's it. I think they're just gonna keep plunking along until they finally get an agreement. And it's gonna be one of those agreements with some muscle. Like Iran's gonna sign it, and then they're gonna try to want to break it next week, and then there's gonna be some muscle back into compliance with the document. But we'll just wait and see. I think I I think oil futures they dropped over the weekend. I haven't checked it this morning to see what they're doing, but it sounds to me like there's just incremental forward progress here. But it's a good thing. It's a good thing that we're not uh we're not full on boots on the ground war.

Seattle And LA Run Parallel

SPEAKER_14 15:06

Now, let's turn our attention to our local neighborhoods, and we're gonna focus most of the rest of the show today on two neighborhoods, Seattle and LA. And there seem to be a whole lot of parallels between these two cities. They're kind of run on they're kind of running on independent train tracks. You got the left train track and the right chain track, but they are running absolutely in parallel. What's happening in one is happening in the other. There's plenty to talk about. There's plenty to talk about here. So we're gonna tie these two cities together today because they seem to be linked at the hip, and we'll even find out that we're we're transporting homeless people back and forth. So, you know, these two cities are involved in some type of human trafficking for who knows what kind of reasons. But I want to kind of premise this under the political remodel, okay? The document, the manuscript that you can download at politicalremodel.com. And I highly encourage everybody to go get involved in takebackmycounty.com and become a part of the actual action movement to do something about this in our neighborhoods. And I want to focus a little bit on this document here. There's a section in here that says what all socialist systems have in common. Despite their differences, all socialist systems have share several core traits. And the first one is socialism is built on lies. Socialism survives through total deceptions, not little lies, not occasional lies. It lies 100% of the time. Its promises are rarely, if ever, fulfilled. Even when, even when, and if it does fulfill a promise, they have hidden agendas and secret outcomes. It says one thing and does another. Its goals are framed as idealistic language, but it its actual outcomes are almost always coercive, unequal, and destructive. The elites who promote it know it. They may convince themselves that their motives are noble. They may simply say they are trying to improve society or help people for their own good, but in reality, these narratives are most often used to justify control. That is why socialism's great enemy is truth. Truth exposes contradictions, truth reveals outcomes, truth strips away slogans, like a virus. Socialism weakens when exposed to the intense light of honest scrutiny and open debate. If citizens become committed to truth rather than propaganda, the system begins to crack immediately. So we discussed a situation in Seattle that was going on with the shootings in these neighborhoods off of Auburn Way. And this is this has gotten to be a real panic situation. There was another shooting last night. I think this was last night. That's the way this is positioned here. At 4 a.m. This was some footage caught. So it's obviously not great sound here. You're not hearing the firing of the guns. But there were 40 bullet casings found outside these. You mean Aurora? Aurora Avenue. Yeah, this is one of the neighborhoods off there. Okay. These guys are having a full-on shootout outside here. 40, 40 bullet casings were found on the sides of the street. They call it the pimp and gang wars. Okay, so the pimp and gang wars are happening. And so what's been going on here is this Seattle neighborhood has had a huge amount of these cars that basically they turn off Aurora Avenue into these people's neighborhoods, these what otherwise would be quiet neighborhoods. So the neighbors have started to take matter into their own hands. This is the truth of what residents of this neighborhood in Seattle are experiencing.

SPEAKER_32 19:06

Which is why they're taking matters into their own hands. They put up these makeshift barriers.

SPEAKER_34 19:11

It was a game changer. We you know it it made it feel much more safe there.

SPEAKER_14 19:18

Okay, so now let's talk about these barriers. So, what happened is the city, like they said, has been having shootings almost every night for a couple months now. And the city has been incapable of doing it, doing anything. What did I say? Socialism is built on lies. Give us your tax money, give us this, and we're gonna promote DEI and our police fire forces, we're gonna promote strong hoas that can tell you what to do with your neighborhood, right? It's all these liberal policies. But at the end of the day, government locally has one job. It's the same as the United States federal government. You have one job, protect us from our enemies. Like if we're getting foreign invaded, uh the military, I don't care what you're doing in Iraq, come deal with our border, right?

SPEAKER_21 20:01

Right?

SPEAKER_14 20:02

So I don't care. I don't care what you're doing anywhere else in the city, come stop the shootings in my neighborhood, right? You had one job, police officer. Stop these guys from shooting me. All the gun laws that you've passed, all the red flag logs that you passed, all the stuff you've done to limit my rights in the name of keeping me safe, pew pew pew pew pew pew pew outside of my neighborhood at night. And I'm disarmed every night. Every night, right? And yeah, I've disarmed myself because you said you were taking guns away from criminals, but clearly they still have guns. Yeah. Do you see what I'm saying? And this just goes to show point number two from the referendum dealing under the topic of why what all socialist systems have in common, the government does not truly care about you. Okay, they don't care about you. This is one of the hardest truths for people to accept. There has never been a government in human history, human history that consistently placed the well-being of its citizens above the interests of those in power. Let me repeat this again so it really sinks in. There has never been a government in human history that consistently placed the well-being of its citizens above the interests of those in power. Not one. Not Denmark, not the United States, not Britain, and definitely not China, Russia, Russia. Governments may occasionally do good things. Individual leaders may occasionally have decent intentions, but as institutions, governments are not instructed structured around compassion. They are structured around power, preservation, and control. In fact, if we are being honest, government is the greater greatest killer in human history. Okay, so this is this neighborhood's solution. Ron, here's the the crazy dirty secret. The solution is so easy. Oh you'd think that people in power would be like, well, we can solve this problem, like the acute problem of bullets flying in your neighborhood because the pimps and gangs are taking a left off Aurora Avenue into your neighborhood. Well, we could actually fix that problem really easy. Okay. So this Neighborhood, tell me these people in the neighborhood have decided to fix the problem, to put a hole in the dam, you know, to patch the dam, so to speak. However, look at how this runs in contravention to city power. And you're gonna know exactly what I'm talking about here, Rod.

Greenwood Barricades Versus City Hall

SPEAKER_14 22:19

We just saw a Honda Element drive around here, so we gotta put a stump over there, I think.

SPEAKER_19 22:27

Another conflict divides North Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood. It's either this or bullets in my neighbors' houses. Not gunfire, but how far residents are going to stop it.

SPEAKER_26 22:38

Our neighbors put these up in self-defense. The risk of emergency services not being able to get through here is greater than the good that they think they're doing from putting up this.

SPEAKER_19 22:48

Makeshift barricades now block three streets off Aurora Avenue, and they're building frustration.

SPEAKER_04 22:55

And I just don't think that this is the right fix.

SPEAKER_19 22:58

It comes after residents like Kate and Peter say they've documented at least eight shootings in about the past month within roughly ten blocks of their homes.

SPEAKER_32 23:11

We celebrate when there's not a shooting.

SPEAKER_19 23:15

Until that evil is taken care of, we gotta deal with this. Seattle requires permits to block or place structures of the government power.

SPEAKER_21 23:24

Oh, well, come deal with the permit, people. Come on. Come deal with the guns.

SPEAKER_14 23:30

Take away the guns, and then we wouldn't have to block the streets.

SPEAKER_21 23:33

No, this is actually kind of brilliant. You gotta force the city to come out here and deal with these barricades and then answer the tough question of how come you're not dealing with the bullets?

SPEAKER_14 23:41

How come you're not dealing with the bullets? Exactly. Oh, you've got all the resources you need to deal with these barricades. Exactly. The workers that you pay to come move these barricades, why don't you fire the workers and hire more cops? Or just give them guns. Or just give the workers guns and say, just come stand post, right? Exactly. Exactly, Ron.

SPEAKER_21 24:02

I wonder how long it'll take before the city officials get out there. It'll be like within 24 hours. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_13 24:08

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_19 24:09

In public streets. Unauthorized obstructions can lead to fines or removal orders. Oh, fine me. You can't just move these makeshift barricades out of the way. And you can see here they're made of dirt, gravel, chunks of concrete, and even logs. But doing it yourself, I don't think is right. Some say it goes too far.

SPEAKER_26 24:35

It's not a good way to protest. Um, it doesn't solve anything.

SPEAKER_14 24:38

It's not well, see, she thinks they're protesting. Uh-huh. See, that's that's the answer. Oh, it's not a good thing. This isn't a protest when there's bullets flying in your neighborhood. This is this is utility. This is function. Right? This is function.

SPEAKER_15 24:52

Not a fix for sure. It's a band-aid. This is Tylenol for stage four cancer.

SPEAKER_19 24:58

Conflicts between neighbors ended in understanding, and in one case, a handshake. I'd shake your hand and give you a hug if you're into it.

SPEAKER_15 25:05

Uh I'll take a hand, sir. What's your name? Peter.

SPEAKER_19 25:07

Peter Quartz. As neighbors push the city to stop the violence, their homegrown roadblocks could find themselves at the top of the city's to-do list and be removed.

SPEAKER_15 25:17

We're at the point of we have to choose between the lesser of evils.

SPEAKER_14 25:21

Do you see how the city doesn't care about your well-being? Yeah. Right? The gun violence is continuing. Listen, they've got the best gun laws in the country. There's not another gun law you could pass that's going to touch the pimps or the gangs. You could pass a law that says pimps are not allowed to have guns life in prison. There's still going to be a shootout tonight over the pimps and their girls. Okay. It doesn't matter. You've got to go out and arrest the pimps.

SPEAKER_22 25:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 25:50

Or you can just let the neighbors put barricades up because at least that's something they can do.

SPEAKER_21 25:55

Tylenol for stage four can't.

SPEAKER_14 25:57

Tylenol for stage four can't. That was such a good idea. How dare the city deny you the ability to have some Tylenol in your bank? Okay.

Equality Promises And Street Reality

SPEAKER_14 26:05

Government cannot create equality. Point number three. Another core lie of socialism is the promise of equality. There has never been a government that achieved true equality. There is no government achieving it now, and there never will be. Why? Because human beings are not interchangeable. Every person is unique in talent, temperament, ability, limitation, opportunity, experience, and suffering. No two people are exactly alike. No two lives enfold under identical conditions. Human existence is too varied, too complex, and too shaped by uncontrollable variables for equality of outcome or even equality of lived experience to be possible. This does not mean people should not be treated fairly and with dignity. It does mean government cannot engineer sameness without violence, distortion, or dishonesty. Socialism depends on pretending otherwise. That is why equality, rhetoric rhetoric, is so important to the socialist mindset. It creates a permanent justification for more intervention, more control, more centralized authority. And when equality invariably fails to appear, the answer is always the same. We just need more government. It's a self-feeding lie. So Charlie Hager talked about this on the radio yesterday. How part of Seattle's problem is this ideology of equality.

SPEAKER_23 27:23

The city of Seattle is stuck in an ideology that treats cracking down on pimps and drug dealers in North Seattle as somehow inequitable. Meanwhile, the people who actually live there are getting shot at. Their babies are in bassinets with bullet holes above them. Their kids are finding shell casings at the bus stop. The city's answer for years has been patience, outreach, services. The same philosophy producing the same results on the same streets. The city of Seattle is stuck in just give us more time.

SPEAKER_14 27:56

We'll figure it out. We're gonna figure out the core problem with these drug dealers and these homeless people. We're gonna figure out their core problems. This is point number four. The founders understood something socialists reject human humility. Okay. So humans are flawed. Humans are deeply flawed. And we often operate under carrot and sticks, right? Either get the stick, some fear to get something done, or the carrot, the reward, the dopamine high to get something done. And a lot of times what happens is there's this little thing in our modern society that breaks normal society carrots and sticks. You know what that is, Ron? Drugs. Oh las drogas, as they say. Okay. Las drogas kind of breaks the normal carrot.

SPEAKER_21 28:48

Reshape people's paradigm for sure.

SPEAKER_14 28:50

Yeah, yeah. It used to be, you know, you'd look back at a at a hard day's labor and you'd see your stacked pile of firewood for the winter, and you'd go, God, I just feel good about that. You'd get this little dopamine high after exerting yourself all day. Well, now you can take that little dopamine high that you get from a job well done and you can magnify it by 10,000% blast it. And that's called meth. Okay. That's called meth. I heard someone say one time, heroin gives you an incredible sense when you're laying in the gutter and all the sewage is flowing down upon you. It's like a warm blanket. Everything's gonna be okay. Right? Right. So you've got this broken thing, and the founding the socialists don't understand that the vision of utopia is not enough to get everybody just to follow the rules. That there is gonna be some humanity in there. And when you introduce the concept of drugs, you're gonna have problems like

Lewis Park And Open Air Drugs

SPEAKER_14 29:43

this. Brandi Cruz and David Chow went on a little walk through a Seattle park, and they saw something that very few of us get to see very often. As they walked through this park, they got to see the homeless encampment and the open air drug use and solicitation that was happening in broad daylight. Now, this is a public park that if you go walk look at a Seattle Chamber of Commerce brochure, it's a park that says you should take your family to and go visit because it's one of our attractions here in Seattle. This is the problem. Lewis Park, the disaster. The park's been swept so many times. But we'll see. Hold on. I'll slow it down for you guys so you can watch it at normal speed.

SPEAKER_21 30:18

So we can hear Jonathan Chow.

SPEAKER_22 30:20

Tents have returned. This is the problem. Lewis Park, the disaster. The park's been swept so many times, but we'll see if the tents have returned. Yeah, because they will.

SPEAKER_28 30:30

One of the most beautiful views of the city, too.

SPEAKER_22 30:31

Yeah. This little nook. You see the Seattle Park sign? That nook in there is insane.

SPEAKER_28 30:38

How many people would you say are in there?

SPEAKER_22 30:39

I mean, this is just the daytime. At night, I'd say more than a hundred. Right now, we're probably gonna see maybe twenty, thirty. At any point you're not comfortable. Any point you're just and do people know you up here? Maybe.

SPEAKER_27 30:58

Do you go here? Like, does this lead anywhere?

SPEAKER_22 31:00

Yeah, there's a path in the back.

SPEAKER_27 31:02

Are we gonna be okay?

SPEAKER_22 31:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 31:09

Essentially everybody just open air drug teams. Every single one of them.

SPEAKER_22 31:16

Yeah. No, no, I don't need that.

SPEAKER_14 31:29

He said Hondos. He's referring to Hondurans. This is mostly this park's mostly full of Hondurans.

SPEAKER_22 32:05

What do you think, Brandy?

SPEAKER_28 32:06

I mean I understand why they choose that location. But this should be a park where people can enjoy it. There's homes right here. That's the biggest concentration of active drug use I've seen in 15 years in Seattle. In terms of active actually using in the moment.

SPEAKER_22 32:26

Not only drug use, you had dealers offer me. Twice. Twice, and you heard it. You need some, you need some, you need any? And those are the Hondurans. This place is out of sight, out of mind. Perfect. Okay, there's even more.

SPEAKER_14 32:39

So the Hondurans are dealing to the rest of the people there. They've got the hook up.

SPEAKER_22 32:54

Hey man, you okay, man? He's injecting. Using a needle right now? Sorry, fellas, we're out of here. Thank you guys. Be safe. Be safe. Yeah, we gotta get going. I've been outed. Start moving now. Uh uh uh don't look back.

SPEAKER_14 33:12

Okay, so the rest of it, they said his name, which he's reported often, and so you know, Antifa kind of chases him around. He's been assaulted by Antifa a few times. So that's just one of our local attractions, Ron. You could go grab a brochure from Seattle and can't wait to take my kids. You know, here you go. Let's do this. Now here's the thing: socialism thrives thrives on dividing people. In the name of equality, it creates ever-increasing divisions. Those were residential neighborhoods right there that that park kind of cuts through the back of. And you've got that you think there's an overlap between a property owner paying high tax rates and the people in the back park. There's gonna be an animosity to grow there. From the homeless people, they see animosity. Well, you've got stuff that we want. I'm gonna come steal your stuff. You know, why are you so lucky? Or, you know, whatever nonsense they tell themselves. And then on the other side of the fence, they're going, man, why don't you guys get a job? Why don't you guys get some treatment? And it's just like the left loves it. They love it when there's this huge dispersion. To the rich people, they'll say, Have a heart. Have a heart, man. You've never dealt with, you know, you've never dealt with this. To the poor people, they'll go, we're gonna get the rich to pay, we're gonna get the rich to pay, they're gonna continue to enable you. It's just this cycle. They always thrive on dividing. That's just a fact. They thrive on dividing.

Spencer Pratt On LA Homelessness

SPEAKER_14 34:30

So let's jump down to LA. So we've taken a little tour through Seattle, right? Things are a little bit rough. Now, this all stems from the social and the the uh socialism running the show in these two cities. Spencer Pratt was being interviewed down in LA because they also have a homeless problem. And apparently in this interview, he he suggests that when he becomes mayor, he's gonna bust his homeless people up to Seattle. So that's fun. That's fun. I know there's there's there's buses going back and forth as we speak, but his one of his main planks now is send him to Seattle. Casey, Katie Wilson can deal with that, right? So and so let's listen to Spencer Pratt here.

SPEAKER_20 35:09

What are your plans for the over 40,000 homeless in Los Angeles?

SPEAKER_31 35:13

Yeah. They're drug addicts. Most of these people are addicted to fentanyl and meth. This isn't Spencer Pratt.

SPEAKER_20 35:21

Are you saying they don't have homes?

SPEAKER_31 35:24

There is places for all of these people to sleep in LA. No matter what anybody tells you, we have housing and shelter for everyone that's living on the street. They are choosing to be on the street because they want to do drugs, they don't want rules, they don't want to listen, they want to have animals to abuse. This idea that they're forced on the street right now is a lie that our city is perpetuating. We've paid $24 billion to house these 40,000 people. There's spots for all of these people. They are choosing because they're an addict and it you can do fentanyl and sewer meth on the sidewalk with no repercussions. These places are not as you have they have to follow some rules. You can't torture a dog in some of these houses. You can't just attack people, you can't just keep naked.

SPEAKER_20 36:08

Where are you gonna move?

SPEAKER_31 36:08

Well, I just I just released a nine-minute video. So you can I think I saw your video. Yeah, yeah. So it's very detailed.

SPEAKER_20 36:15

But it's gonna take time to build the facility and money. No, how fast do you think you can do it?

SPEAKER_31 36:20

These people can literally. I went to Washington and I saw miles of the most insane prefabricated housing and building. I asked all the CEOs of these companies, say, how long does this take? I met with FEMA and HUD, three days. Three days. And all of this is cheaper than trying to take over, kick home uh senior citizens out of their buildings. Is what happens. They kick them out, and then the NGOs come in and they spend four years. This is LA, this is LA's time tip.

SPEAKER_20 36:46

Where is this facility going to be?

SPEAKER_31 36:47

It's on federal, beautiful federal land property.

SPEAKER_20 36:50

Where? In LA County?

SPEAKER_31 36:51

Well, when I'm mayor, I'll go meet with the federal government and I'll get the property. Right now I'm just running, so I can't give you the exact address because I don't have the legal responsibility to go represent Los Angeles and say, can I have this land? But when I'm mayor, I promise you, because we have the Olympics coming, and everybody in the government wants LA to be the number one most beautiful city, they will work with me to give me the land I need.

SPEAKER_20 37:15

So you're gonna move these 40,000 people somewhere, and you're gonna have this facility up in you said how long?

SPEAKER_31 37:21

Here's what you gotta realize 90 days. Let me explain something. These 40,000 people, 60% of them, City Watch just announced this week, are not from Los Angeles, they're not from California. These people have been bust in by scam rehabs, scam NGOs, scam homeless prop nonprofits. These people, when I unplug them and say we're not taking our tax money anymore, they're all going to Seattle, where the mayor will welcome them. These are products to a lot of people. So the people that want to keep doing drugs and live on the sidewalk, they're a lot of these people are gonna leave. The other ones, there's a lot of criminals. There's people that are getting naked in front of kids, they're going to jail. The people that are torturing animals, they're going to jail. So not everyone goes in the same box.

SPEAKER_14 38:05

So we So the people that truly are in need, 40,000 people on the streets, let's be generous and say 10% of them are down on their luck. They're not drug addicted, they're down on their luck, single moms with kids. The the thing that tugs at our heartstrings that got us originally to open up our wallets and pay the tax dollars to fix these problems.

SPEAKER_21 38:26

He represented those people as a product, which I thought was very interesting.

SPEAKER_14 38:31

Which brings us to point number seven. Uh corporations love socialism because there's always a problem to solve. And these NGOs are corporations. When we talk about corporations love socialism, we're not exclusively talking about the Microsofts and the Apples and the and the Amazons of the world. They would just assume compete in a capitalist world. In fact, they've done very well competing on those terms. But what we really talk about are these NGOs here. They love it. They're a product. They want to bust them in because then they get more money. The amount of money that is spent on the homeless crisis is more than enough to buy every homeless person a house in whatever city they're in. And like you said, we could house them. Miles and miles of these tiny houses could be set up in three days. The problem is when you put little rules like you can't use drugs inside the tiny houses, well, that's not really what I need, anyways. What I really need is meth. Right? Jaron, what

Rumble Wallet Ad Break

SPEAKER_14 39:32

do we got? We got a little rumble wallet for us.

SPEAKER_21 39:34

Yes, let's do it. Ah, we hear a lot about crypto, but here's the part that most people miss crypto was created so that you could actually own and control your own money. After the 2008 financial crisis, Bitcoin was designed as an alternative to banks. So instead of bank holding your money, delaying transfers or limiting access, you're in control. And if you've ever had to wait for a transfer to clear, you felt that problem. Now, fast forward to today. Everyone's heard of crypto, but getting started feels a little complicated. That's exactly why I use Rumble Wallet. It takes all that complexity and makes it simple. Choose what you want Bitcoin, dollar back, stable coins, or even gold back securities or real gold. No complicated setup. It connects with Moon Pay, so you can use your credit card, debit card, or bank, and be set up in and running in minutes. Once you're set up, you can even support favorite Rumble creators like me directly. So do it now. Scan the QR code or click the link in the description and download Rumble Wallet. From there, you can set up your wallet, tap by, and you're in the game. In just a few minutes, you can go from hearing about crypto to actually owning some. Phew.

SPEAKER_14 40:39

That is awesome. Thank you, Rob. Okay, so Spencer Pratt posted Karen Bassin, Nethay, Nathiah Raman, enable you this insanity not only by handing out drug needles and crackpipes on your dime, but they also got busted dealing them drugs too.

Harm Reduction Or Enabling Addiction

SPEAKER_14 40:55

So that happened down in LA. And we have the same problem up here in Seattle. Right. So here we are spending all this money to stop homelessness. But one of the things we're doing, again, corporations love homeless. If there's a homeless guy on the street, then there's an NGO collecting a check for that homeless guy to be their caretaker, right? To help save them. The problem is they don't always want help. And what happens more often than not is these NGOs using government money, and sometimes the government directly will give them paraphernalia and sometimes even drugs.

SPEAKER_25 41:26

I just left the Ballard camp here in Seattle, Washington, that's now consolidated behind Albert Lee, was prior behind Fred Meyer, scattered throughout Ballard. King County Mobile Health Clinic showed up, tent side handing out bags of snacks, beanies, rocks, including harm reduction supply. Packs of foil to smoke, lethal and illegal fentanyl, tourniquets, cookers, solution, alcohol pads, and a little flyer on how to reverse an overdose. Some bags didn't even include Narcan. Some bags included glass pipes. One pamphlet included where to get Suboxin or more drugs. Nothing there about drug and alcohol counseling, where to get detox, or where to go to a long-term care. Also, there was a man who told me that half the people there had housing. And that's something we've flagged for years that people get into DESC, Catholic community services, Lehigh tiny house villages, but they still hang in these encampments and community because this is where the drugs are. This is where the dealers are. This is where you can get high. What I saw today was enablement making it very easy to stay high, stay on drugs, and harder to get clean, not allowing time for intervention outreach services like We Heart Seattle or others. We want people to get on with their life, get clean, get into treatment, get a job, get back with family, and reach self-sufficiency. What we have here is people who've been homeless for years and years and years. And again, in some cases, people have housing, more than half, according to a local camper there. In fact, Crystal with the three Chihuahuas and Marcus were also here at this encampment. So folks that have been living, being swept in Ballard for years and years and years. And now we have and continue to have street side services giving out oil and tourniquets and cookers to do drugs. San Francisco passed a law in 2025 that forbid nonprofits and governmental agencies to hand out harm reduction like pipes, cookers, foil tourniquets, tent sites. And without enrolling into drug and alcohol counseling of some sort. And we need to bring that direction here to Seattle and change the culture that recovery is first, treatment's first, housing is contingent. I just left.

SPEAKER_14 43:39

Yeah. So we are literally housing half of them already, and they're choosing not to move up in life because they've got cheap drugs, thank you, cartels, and then they have all the paraphernalia they need the clean tinfoil, the nice fresh crack pipes. Thanks. I said handed out needles. Yeah, Jonathan. Attackers was notified that both Taylor and I are getting a referral award on River. First of many threw this one just buy a burger. Next one we'll buy lunch. Oh, yay! That's awesome! Congratulations. Being a part of the solution. You know what Bitcoin doesn't do? Subsidize drug use in Seattle. You know what the dollar does? Subsidizes drug use in Seattle.

SPEAKER_21 44:22

Oh man.

SPEAKER_14 44:22

Right. When we talk big, big picture, when we get 30,000 feet above all this, fix the money, fix the world. A lot of this is because we can just print money and we throw money at this. They weaponize our virtue. Hey, don't you want to stop overdose deaths from the homeless? Well, yeah, we should get them into treatment. Okay, great. Well, donate money here through your tax bill. Okay. And then what we're gonna do is we're gonna give them um safe paraphernalia so that they have less overdoses from you know toxic metals and things like that that are on unsafe aluminum. You know, you don't want them smoking that that paint on the top of the tin can that they would smoke their crack in. So let's give them some fresh, clean, sterile tin foil. It's like, well, hold on. That's not what I was thinking my tax money was going to. Oh, yeah, no, no, we definitely can't like impose upon these people and get them to change their way of life. I mean, they've got freedom of choice, right? Yeah, on your dime. Let's go full libertarian here. I don't want to pay for your drug use, but I'll, I mean, you know, you do you boo. Really, it's a bad, bad thing here. Now, this lady points out that this entire trend in our inner cities, especially on the West Coast, this started when the Democrats took over. It's just a clear line in the sand. When Democrats run cities, this will be the result. Give them a decade or give them two decades, and this is always the result of socialism.

SPEAKER_21 46:51

Pause the music for a second. You know, one thing these pictures don't show you is the before, you know, what this place looked like before there were tents everywhere.

SPEAKER_14 46:59

Oh, I know. It's a thriving city with business opportunity. You know, all this commercial space, these garages, these shops, these are mechanics that can't work there. These are all kinds of businesses that just can't work there. You can't run a successful business when you've got an encampment on your on your sidewalks.

SPEAKER_17 47:18

Right.

SPEAKER_14 47:19

You can't. It's impossible. And who's supposed to be in charge of the sidewalks? The city. I mean, it's just it's abject nonsense. There's a Tesla pulling up right next to that, you know. Unpause it.

SPEAKER_17 47:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 47:34

What 30 years of a democratically run state has turned into it might change who you want to vote for.

SPEAKER_17 47:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 47:42

30 years of a democratically run state might change who you want to vote for. Now, Ari Hoffman covers the story out of LA. Again, there's a there's a deep connection between LA and Seattle, right? We're being run by the same ilk of politicians. And Portland, you could throw into the mix, you could throw San Francisco into the mix. These west coasts, there's just this libertarian flavor of socialism, which is doing untold amounts of damage. Now, on the East Coast, like when I went to a city like Newark, or there's um, oh, I can't remember the city. I was like, hey, let's drive through that city. I've heard of it before. And the guy that was escorting me through New Jersey is like, dude, Camden. It's like Camden's an open-air drug market. We're not even driving through there. Not even driving through there. Okay. But this is Ari Hoffman talking about one of these NGOs that's out there that's supposed to provide safe injections, you know, stuff like paraphernalia, but not the drugs. Right. We of course we would draw the line on the drugs themselves, right, Ron? Right?

SPEAKER_18 48:46

A Cobra City man who works for a nonprofit organization that distributes syringes to homeless drug users in Los Angeles and elsewhere, was arrested today on a federal criminal complaint, charging him with possessing fentanyl when police pulled him over while he drove a BMW near MacArthur Park earlier this month. For those of you who don't know MacArthur Park, that is the drug den of Los Angeles. The things you see in the movies, that's MacArthur Park. Christopher Barrett Johnson is charged with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. Wait, he's just doing his job. It's clean fentanyl. Don't we have places around here that want to put it in vending machines? It's clean fentanyl, right? Right? It's fun, and it should be it's harm reduction. Oh, you mean that when they always say, oh, we're not giving out drugs, they're actually giving out drugs?

SPEAKER_14 49:38

Yeah. Does that sound like something that you really want to be involved in? Of course not. But the Democrats, what do they do? This is Bernie Sanders, and he's campaigning with the uh gentleman up in Maine that's got the Nazi tattoo on him that's running as a Democrat, right? He's actually really a threat to Susan Collins. Like she might lose a Republican seat to this guy that has a Nazi tattoo on him. But the Democrats have just said, well, you know, he's had a he's had a rough past. It's like, dude, a Republican. If they had it, look at all the crap they gave Pete Heggseth for an iron cross. Right, you know, I mean, holy smokes. But again, this weaponization of your virtue.

Tax The Rich Claims Meet Reality

SPEAKER_14 50:16

What's the solution, Ron? More money from the rich to help the poor. But we'll tell you we're gonna use it for all these good things: roads, schools, healthcare. But the reality is, where does it actually make it? Where did the Democrats actually spend the money?

SPEAKER_06 50:31

Oh, I think it's absolute nonsense. I think that's what somebody says when they don't want to see their taxes go up. There's absolutely no question that if we target the wealth where it has been hoarded, frankly, for decades at this point, and we pull it back into our system and put it into social programs like health care, like child care, like paying teachers what they are worth, we will absolutely improve the lives of working Americans and quite frankly, improve our society as a whole. It's uh I think what he is pitching is propaganda. It's meant to protect himself and protect his crony friends. And uh we're gonna come after them for it.

SPEAKER_14 51:09

What are they gonna come after the rich, Ron? Take more money to give to the homeless. Okay. I mean, but we're gonna get them housing. Oh, wait, we already have them housed. We're gonna give them clean drugs. Clean drugs. Okay. Maybe though we need it.

SPEAKER_21 51:23

We just need cleaner drugs.

SPEAKER_14 51:24

Teachers will get a raise. So, what happens when they tax the rich and they go after the rich? Well, anywhere where you tax the rich, eventually they're gonna look for a cheaper place to live. And what is Washington doing right now? In the midst of all this crime, shootings on the streets, homeless encampments abound, you've got drugs being issued out there. Down in LA, you've got the same thing. And what's always the solution? Well, we just need more tax money. We just need more tax money. Well, we've gotten to the point in Washington state where, in violation of our constitution, there's been an income tax imposed. Now it's proposed that it will only apply to the millionaires, but everyone is going to be required to file now. So everybody's gonna get in the habit of filing year after year, and then eventually, I mean, you know, just like as sure as the sun will rise in the east, eventually some future Democrat, legislature, and governor are going to lower that threshold. And eventually it's just a matter of time before pretty much everyone that's not homeless is going to be considered wealthy and paying an income tax. Because remember, if your constituency, which we've proven down in LA, is primarily made up of skid row people that are signing voter registration cards, we've seen this. Like this is happening. If your constituency is made up of primarily the homeless people because the government is their dealer of choice, okay, whether it's for cigarettes to sign the voter registration card or it's for fentanyl once you get your politician of choice elected, right? When your constituency is that, it pretty much anybody who owns a home or has a job is now classified as wealthy and will eventually be taxed. So what happens when you start taxing successful people? And by success, I simply mean what? You know, owning a home. Okay. You know, having a job. It doesn't matter that you're behind on credit card payments. It doesn't matter. You're still better off than the homeless person. You're somehow self-supporting. You're somehow self-supporting, exactly. Then what happens is they'll inevitably be an exodus. Now, Democrat politicians will deny this, even though the evidence suggests that thousands of politicians will leave your state when you start to tax the wealthy, but not politicians, wealthy people.

SPEAKER_01 53:40

People start leaving Washington state. That's a big concern of opponents to the newly enacted tax on incomes more than a million dollars. Our state is not the first to enact something like this. Come as Natalie Fami looks at the data of one state that has had a high earners' tax for years now.

SPEAKER_24 53:58

Assuming it withstands all challenges, come 2028, Washington will officially impose a 9.9% state income tax on any one sold earning more than a million dollars annually. Opponents call the tax unnecessary.

SPEAKER_04 54:14

It's also just going to harm our state.

SPEAKER_24 54:16

Ryan Frost is the director of budget and tax policy at the Washington Policy Center. He looks to other states as an example.

SPEAKER_15 54:24

Massachusetts' millionaire tax has been an abject failure.

SPEAKER_24 54:28

Unlike Washington, Massachusetts already had a flat state income tax before lawmakers asked voters to approve an additional 4% for people making more than a million dollars each year. Massachusetts state senator Jason Lewis grafted his state surtax on millionaires.

SPEAKER_29 54:45

I would say it's been um but it's exceeded expectations.

SPEAKER_24 54:49

In fiscal year 2024, Massachusetts earned $2.4 billion from the additional tax, and in 2025, $3 billion. Both years saw more money than predicted by millions. But data from the IRS paints a less than rosy picture. In June 2021, the legislature passed the act, guaranteeing its placement on the November 2022 ballot. Between 2021 and 2022, the number of tax filings from millionaires in Massachusetts dropped by about 5,000 people.

SPEAKER_34 55:22

I don't see how Washington's going to be any different.

SPEAKER_24 55:24

Do you think that people are moving out of your state as a result of this tax?

SPEAKER_29 55:29

There's no evidence of that.

SPEAKER_24 55:31

There is currently no IRS filing data beyond 2022. Either way, Lewis attributes people moving more so to them relocating for reasons like retirement or job opportunities. Boston-based CPA who works with high earners, Jim Guarino, tells me it could also mean those millionaires became more strategic to avoid the tax as some may do in Washington.

SPEAKER_10 55:55

This is one of those unique circumstances where you may want to consider accelerating income because of that 9.9% trend that's coming down the tracks.

SPEAKER_24 56:07

Has it been more common that clients prefer to be strategic or just completely move?

SPEAKER_10 56:14

That's a good question. I think people have really settled down to the fact that it's just another cost of the particular transaction.

SPEAKER_24 56:26

Several other states like New York and Maine also have a targeted surtax on its highest earners or have recently passed one. And now California is considering taking it up a notch with a billionaire's tax.

SPEAKER_21 56:40

You know, moving is the strategy. You know, who are these dumbasses?

SPEAKER_14 56:46

I so there's this interesting thing as a small business owner myself. One of the reasons that I focused on being a small business owner, and one of the things that attracted me so much to construction was because we were the first stop of the dollar. Right? Somebody goes and gets a home loan. The first bill they pay is their foundation excavation. Right. Right. I'm like, I'm the first guy getting paid. And the one of the other things that happened over the time period that I was in that marketplace was you're the first stop for the money. So you set the price. When I first started digging foundations, 1500 bucks, I could dig most foundations. Yeah. By the time I stopped digging foundations on my way to prison, you were charging around $6,000 to save the dig hole first, this dig the same hole. So, yes, if you're going to tax the billionaires and the millionaires, most of them generate their money through some sort of business activity. And they will pass that fee, that tax on to who? The ultimate everybody else. Everybody else. So there is a little bit of that, right? And when you look at the increase in dollar amount, what I see is well, that's just the increase of inflation. They're just passing that price on. That's what's going on there. So it's not good for anybody. Everybody ends up paying it when you tax the super wealthy. But there's a lot of people that just straight up move. And then what are you stuck doing? Taxing more and more and more people. To the point that you're taxing people so much that you actually need to get some of these homeless people and in some cases illegal immigrants who kind of fulfill the same function into housing because you've got to fill up the houses and you want to stimulate the economy by doing

Illegal Immigration Incentives And Division

SPEAKER_14 58:26

that. California had a brilliant plan. They actually submitted a proposal, and it came really close to passing, where they were going to use taxpayer dollars to assist illegal immigrants in their down payments.

SPEAKER_08 58:38

I think one of the most offensive things, my parents are immigrants. They immigrated here lawfully.

SPEAKER_14 58:43

This is the United States Attorney for California, by the way.

SPEAKER_08 58:46

There's a lot of immigrants in California. The president's wife is an immigrant. And um they never mention the word illegal. They always say immigrant community. And I just find that particularly offensive, especially for people like my parents who did it the right way. They came here, they took the citizenship exam. I remember my mom studying for the test and learning about the branches of government, everything. They never want to distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants. And I find that particularly offensive. But you're right. The dirty little secret is they want the flow of illegal immigrants. It fuels um, well, you could talk about it politically why census reporting and other reasons, states like California need that population inflow because everyone else is getting out of the state. Um, and then when you go to Sacramento, this is like the protected, uh, oppressed group of of the day. And so all their bills every day is like, how do we protect illegal immigrants? How do we get more lawyers for them? How do we get them more services? How do we get them free down payment assistance to buy a home? I'm not joking. That was a bill when I was in Sacramento to allow illegal immigrants to access down payment assistance to buy a home. I was like, how do they even get a loan? You know, uh uh, and apparently you can get a loan with a 10 number, which I found out. But again, people like my mom, she's not getting down payment assistance, she's not getting all these things.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:06

She's she's working the legal immigrants and the actual Americans are not getting that type of assistance. Correct. But the assistance is given to people who committed a crime to get here.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:17

Correct. I think one of the most offensive things, and it creates division.

SPEAKER_14 1:00:22

Socialist heaven, Ron. Socialist heaven. I know, right? Now, if your constituency is full of people who are not allowed to vote, or it's full of homeless people who are generally going to let the voting dates come and go without too much attention, right? How would you pad the ballots? How would you manipulate the elections to maintain control?

SPEAKER_21 1:00:46

Oh, I don't know. Just issue a ballot for every single one of the illegals and then vote however I wanted to. And of course.

SPEAKER_14 1:00:53

Makes perfect sense. Yeah. So you would think, okay, given all we know and all we see, if they're so brazen that they would take your tax money in the name of helping the drug addict, just to then turn around and give them not only the the means to use the drugs, but potentially even the drugs themselves. Do you think there's any distance that they would go to not maintain their power?

SPEAKER_22 1:01:19

No.

SPEAKER_14 1:01:20

They would go the full distance, right? To the point that they're even potentially killing some of our brothers and sisters that are homeless on the street, suffering from drug addiction.

SPEAKER_21 1:01:28

I think with killing.

SPEAKER_14 1:01:30

I think they're totally fine with it, right? They would definitely produce a couple fake ballots. No doubt about it. So here's Sheriff Chad Bianco talking about how in California, in his county, he did discover some on its face, what appears to be ballot manipulation.

Ballot Counting Fight And Power

SPEAKER_14 1:01:48

And there's a little bit of a legal saga. And right now they're totally stalled out on doing anything about it.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:53

So their goal is to have so many attorneys in court trying to fight all of these different lawsuits all the time that we just can't afford it.

SPEAKER_23 1:02:01

But why? It's just counting ballots. That's the part I don't understand.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:04

So in the beginning, I was like, well, this is plain and simple. This is easy. We'll just count the ballots. If it comes out right, then we know that you're wrong and fix that process because you missed by 10%. If we're right, if it comes out and there's only six hundred and eleven thousand ballots there, then something's very wrong with those machines. Because how did the machine count something that didn't even go into it? Yeah. So that's that's what we have to get to.

SPEAKER_23 1:02:27

Don't we all want a fair and equitable system in the world? You would have thought so.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:30

You would have thought so immediately the attorney general, as soon as he found out, he tried to he tried to convince me to not do anything. And I said, and I'm like, look, this is a criminal investigation. We're we're going to keep going with his investigation. And when I said that, when I said I wasn't going to listen to his request to stop, he sent me a letter demanding that I stop. It's like, well, this is a lawful investigation. You can't you have no legal authority to tell me to stop an investigation. So we continue doing it, and then he went to court. And then the court can say, Okay, now you can't do anything until we rule on it. So it was thrown out of court. The court he went to the Court of Appeals, the Court of Appeals threw it out. So now he's gone into civil court to sue us. And unfortunately, the superior court judge who has already ruled on this, that told us to count the ballots, now that there's a civil case, he he's not allowing it anymore. He's not allowing it anymore.

SPEAKER_14 1:03:35

Because the civil case trumps the the criminal case. Sure. Yeah, Reno, right? So the deplorable D2, she's over in King County, deplorable D2. We have a lot of work ahead for us. A lot of work ahead for us, both in your county and my county, to clean up our counties from these sleazebag socialists who want to take, take, take, take, take and never actually give back. But they'll weaponize the fact that you owe them something so that they can go give it to someone else, right? They'll weaponize the virtue, your bleeding heart. If people become aware of the real problems here, because remember, everybody's in a bubble. They're in a media bubble, they're in a media niche, maybe their neighborhoods are doing just fine. You don't live off of Aurora Avenue. You have to put their shame, the socialist shame, it back in our faces. You have to show them intimately what they're doing with your tax money, what they're doing with the power that we grant them and acquiesce to them by not standing up in our elections. And when you do, overwhelmingly, good people want law and order, good people want safe streets, good people want fair elections. They'll be happy with the outcome if they just believe the election is fair. Good people want these things. The Democrats have no idea. They have no idea that the game is already over. It's just a matter, it's just a matter of us making people aware of what they're doing, and the game

Party Money Gap And The Shift

SPEAKER_14 1:05:08

ends. Eric Weinstein and Joe Rogan had a conversation about this, and I actually think this is an excellent take.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:15

I don't think the Democrats understand that it's over, and that there was a vast infrastructure that made their feeble arguments viable, and that infrastructure is now collapsing. People are far more aware, and their lives aren't gonna function anymore.

SPEAKER_11 1:05:33

Well, it makes sense that we're seeing these numbers because okay, this was what was funding the infrastructure. Now we get it because it wasn't otherwise, it's organic. This is the will of the people, this is how people are moving. It's not, it wasn't that at all. This was all organic, and it was really about control and money. It had nothing to do with helping people, making people better, giving aid to foreign countries. That's all a cloak and dagger bullshit show.

SPEAKER_14 1:05:57

I don't it was nothing about helping the homeless. Wasn't stopping the drug addict. It wasn't helping the immigrant. None of that. The game is over. And how do I know the game is over? D, this is really important for you to look at here because you're you're involved in the party. And you've got to get other people to listen to this podcast because over time you start to see this and understand it. Washington and the United States of America at large, California included, these are not blue states. They're under blue control. They're under blue dominion. They're under Democrat and socialist governance. But the people are not that. Not in large. There's 40,000 homeless people in Los Angeles. But there's millions of people that live there. There's millions of normal people who choose to conform with society standards, you know, get a job, be self-sustaining, self-maintaining, right? Like there's millions of people that do that. And at large, the Democrat Party is haemorrhaging. They're not going to project this. They're not going to come out and CNN and go, the Democrat Party is essentially dead. No, they've got the illusion of control. And as long as they can maintain that illusion, there are people who, until the wickedness of the socialism comes out and touches them, until they quarter soldiers in your house, until there's a shootout on your street, until there's a homeless encampment in your backyard, until there's, you know, boys in your daughter's bathrooms. You don't really feel this. But we can show it to them. We can show them what's coming. And this is the tool that every Republican campaign should be doing right now. This should be the hook. This should be the thing that gets people's ears open. And it works. And it's working whether you want it to or not. Here, let me show you a great example. This is from Vote Hub, National Committee Finance Update. This is the Republicans. Cash on hand, 123 million point nine hundred thousand dollars. 123, almost 124 million dollars. No debt. The DNC, cash on hand, 14.4 million, debt 17.5 million, giving them a negative net worth of negative 3.1 million. There has never, ever in the history of the two-party system been a scenario where the two parties are so far apart in money on hand. I never been one. Right, deplorable D. How are these guys maintaining themselves because of Republicans' acquiescence to not put their shame in their face? Spencer Pratt's gonna win that election down in LA. The only way he wouldn't is if there's voter fraud. It's just obvious. It's the Chad Bianco problem, right? The only way they win is with voter fraud. Look at what Oregon just did with that tax referendum last week. 85% rejected it. Look, that's over. It's only the Republicans, that middle ground establishment rhino republican that allow these people to continue in existence. And that's where we have to come in with the takebackmycounty.com project is where you just have to go.

Local Takeover Strategy And Organizing

SPEAKER_14 1:09:20

I was talking to someone this week and this weekend. We had a what that's my headphones. We had a Memorial Day barbecue on Saturday, a friend of ours, a mutual friend. And he has he has barbecues all the time. It's up in Hansville, so you know what I'm talking about. So there was someone that I that I was talking with there, and they were talking about some stuff that I was just kind of rolling my eyes at. But I said to them, we started talking a little bit about politics, as conversations with me often do. And I said, you know, we talk about how bad things are. And and the this conversation was literally stemming around the second coming of Jesus has to be soon because things are falling apart so fast.

SPEAKER_21 1:10:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_14 1:10:01

And I'm like, I got very frustrated. Because I said, the reason things are falling apart so fast is because you're distracted going to church every Sunday and praying for Jesus to come again to fix all these problems. But when we were endorsing candidates, the people who were going to be on the ballot that were going to run our county and our state and our country, when we were endorsing candidates in our local Republican Party, there were 22 people there. When you go to church on Sunday, there's 300 people. You know what 300 people politically involved in a county could do? Change the whole county. That's enough people to recruit good candidates, give them the support they need, the political apparatus they need to actually win elections. 22 people were there selecting who was going to run our county. Do you think you could vet everybody? No. Do you think we every candidate we endorsed was the best? No. Why did they care about our endorsement? There were 22 of us, right? But yeah, we were giving the endorsement to who likely is going to be one of the two candidates on the ballot. If you just took any congregation in America and said, this week, instead of going to church, we're going to go to your local party meeting. You could change the politics of that county overnight. Overnight. You think the establishment's running you out? Get a Mormon church to show up on Monday night and you could vote them all out. And you could put your candidates in. Right? You could run your Republican Party. And then pretty soon you can decide who's going to be running for a county commission. And you would have the ability to actually door knock the county and get the support. It could change that quick. And just to make it easier, Donald Trump overturned the Johnson Amendment, which said that that pastors and clergy couldn't endorse candidates over the pulpit. They can do that now. They can do that now. So why aren't they?

SPEAKER_21 1:11:53

Well, I think there's church policies about it.

SPEAKER_14 1:11:55

Oh, sure. As a result of that Johnson Amendment for all those years. But why sit around and pray for Jesus to come again to fix the problems when you could just put up barricades on your city streets. Yeah, faith without action is dead, right? Yeah, exactly. Why don't you do something about it? Now I'm not criticizing everybody who goes to church like you know, you have some obligatory side hustle that you need to go and be involved in politics. But my point in saying is the Republicans have built in these community infrastructures that Democrats don't have. They have to pay for their protests. And you could take over a county commission, a council, a Republican Party, even a Democrat Party if you wanted to. I told I suggested that. I said, honestly, what should happen is like, you know, the state president should tell this ward to go take over the Democrat Party, that ward to go take over the Republican Party, and then we'd have it totally on lockdown. That's how insignificant some of these local parties are. When you really compare it to the other institutions that are out there that are conservative leaning, you just got to go get them involved. So take back mycounty.com is a place to go to become involved. Politicalremodel.com is where you can download the manuscript to understand this. And here's the reality the Democrats are completely focused on hiding, you know, what is that pig and a poke, that football thing where you put the shirt in your the football in your shirt so nobody can see it. They're really good at hiding the football. They're hiding the football and and doing smear campaigns. Now, I really admire what Spencer Pratt is doing down in LA. And it's very obvious as he builds momentum behind his campaign, that the other politicians that are running against him are gonna fight him any way they can.

Smears And The Cost Of Running

SPEAKER_31 1:13:45

From the the opposition, a lot of them are planted. I just discovered and I have evidence that Councilman Raman has actually been paying for most of these videos about me. I have I'll obviously give you the evidence when you say we're gonna file an ethics complaint. She's paying for these videos that people are these narratives about me. They're paid performers, they're paid influencers. So I don't actually believe the people that are voting for me believe any of these lies that are perpetuated about me. The reality is when you run for mayor, every single one of my apps since I announced any app, any social media has to be demonetized. I make no money. I can't sell my business before I just was selling crystals the way they make. I can't be holding up crystals and saying, shop here. I can't he was selling crystals. My wife's music, which it pays for my kids' food, my wife's music and helping support promoting her music. I can't be all day long posting her beautiful videos of her doing her music. I don't even talk about now I have you brought it up because you're asking, my book came out. I haven't done one book event now. I never get to go out and you know talk about my book. Anything that I could make money off, you can't make money when you're running for mayor. So nobody besides these opposition liars spread that because they know I'm not making any money for this. And this isn't fun, you know. Having people attack you all day long isn't like a fun clout. You know, I was having a lot of fun feeding hummingbirds, going live on TikTok, being with my kids, and then they burned my house down in my town. So if we're gonna talk about anything, I would like to go back to when I had a house and my parents had a house, and I'll take that simple version of clout that was a lot more fun than I have right now.

SPEAKER_14 1:15:29

So yesterday, president criticized you for trying to make a difference any way they can. We have to stand through it. The porable D says a lot of churches are on the path to apostasy and have gone woke with the DI thing. I agree, but you know what I talked to this weekend as well? Someone who left their church because their church went woke. They're still out there, folks. The congregants aren't necessarily all going woke. It's the pastor, and a lot of this, again, the money. Where do they get their tax write-offs from being a registered church, right? And then they have to conform with all their civil rights laws, which includes a lot of DEI stuff. So they lean into it to keep their tax benefits, but they don't have to, right? They could stand strong, and we just have to make give them a reason. You know, people are attracted to that fiery uh let's let's fix things in real world action. And we just have to find them.

Public Stream Wrap And Next Steps

SPEAKER_14 1:16:21

All right, guys, that's it for our public side today. We are gonna jump over to private and we're gonna talk a little bit about Texas, and then we're gonna talk just a little bit more about a big deal that just got signed with India for critical minerals. So we'll talk to you in private. The rest of you will talk to you tomorrow. Bye. Okay, so

Texas Runoff And Get Out The Vote

SPEAKER_14 1:16:40

Ken Paxson down in uh voting is today, Tuesday, for the primary, the runoff primary between Ken Paxon and John Cornyn down in Texas. I have a built feeling after today, John Cornyn's gonna be a very sad man.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:55

The polls are now open in my home state of Texas for the Republican Senate primary runoff as Ken Paxson takes on incumbent, John Cornyn for a chance to face Democratic State Representative James Talerico in November. Paxson going after Cornyn's record on Fox and Friends yesterday.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:31

So there are many things that John is running on now that are so different from how he's governed, and it's time for a change in Texas.

SPEAKER_09 1:17:43

The poll.

SPEAKER_14 1:17:44

And we're gonna cut that off. So those of you that are out in Texas, get out and vote today. Make sure you get your ballot in. It matters. Don't be a sloppy peasant and ignore it. Um, but it's going to it, you know, this is gonna be another blow to the Senate, another blow to the establishment. And good, good, right? In six months, if the Senate and the House can't get things done, I think that uh we're gonna see some huge progress in the next term. And I'm I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring. I'm gonna say that the Republicans have a shot at keeping everything.

SPEAKER_21 1:18:14

Yeah, I do too.

SPEAKER_14 1:18:16

Yeah, and you know, it's all the attention on the election stuff, it it's getting harder and harder for them to cheat in the open. All right.

India Minerals Deal And China Strategy

SPEAKER_14 1:18:24

Next thing is this critical mineral deal signed by between India and and uh the United States. Marco Rubio's over there, got this done.

SPEAKER_12 1:18:34

I think it brings a tangible example of the strategic partnership between the United States and India. Thank you.

SPEAKER_14 1:18:54

So we have a lot of important critical minerals here in the United States. But for whatever reason, the good Lord blessed this continent with a lot of energy resources, and when it comes to the Asian continent, they're blessed with a lot of mineral resources, not so much the energy. And so we really kind of need to work together, right? Because obviously you need both things to make the world go round.

SPEAKER_21 1:19:15

Yeah, that's a good thing.

SPEAKER_14 1:19:17

This is a pretty significant deal here because we do need to get some of these strategic minerals, and these include pharmaceutical um minerals, things that need to go into pharmaceuticals. So it's a pretty big deal here. Again, emphasizing the fact that Trump is kind of aligning us against China to where a lot of the the things that they have over us that they're not gonna get. They're not gonna get cheap oil out of the Middle East anymore. They're not gonna have a total monopoly on critical minerals. We now have a path to a lot of these minerals that we need because India and China share a lot of the same minerals that that are that we are able to get from them. So that's that's really great news.

Closing Thoughts And Community Raid

SPEAKER_14 1:19:54

Ron, we need to go out with a raid. Oh that wasn't even planned.

SPEAKER_21 1:19:59

Yeah, we got to go out with a raid. Okay, give me a minute.

SPEAKER_14 1:20:02

You guys, I really appreciate you sticking around to the end. I know that wasn't a lot in the private chat. I think these things are really important. You know, sometimes it's hard to watch these videos of how our neighborhoods are falling apart. There's a lot of hope out there, right? Every individual is responsible for their own choices. You can go and make something of your life. Even if you live in one of these bad neighborhoods, there's a way to provide value. And there's a phrase dollars follow value. If you provide value in people's lives, the dollars will find you. Okay, and it will be good, honorable money rather than you know, dirty DEI NGO money. But nonetheless, dollars follow value. And obviously, if you fix the money, fix the world. I highly encourage people to get involved with Bitcoin. All right, heading over to Coffee with Mark Z. So head on over there on the raid, go say hi for the peasants for us and try to get them to come and subscribe over here on Rumble. Subscribe to our show. All right, guys, thank you so much for joining us today. We will talk to you again tomorrow.

Monty Python Clip And Outro

unknown 1:20:59

Bye.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:39

I did say something about the old woman. Have you got that? We perpetuate the economic and social differences in. If there's ever gonna be any progress. How do you do, good lady? Um king of the Britons. Whose castle is that? The Britons. We all are we are all Britons. I am your king. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a country. Stop perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes. These good people, I am in haste. Who lives in that castle? Who lives in that castle? Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. What? I told you. We're in a narcissist syndicate commune. We take it in turns to the sort of executive officer for the week. Yes. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting. In the case of quite a few minutes, you're gonna be quiet. The lady of the lake. Um the purest shimmering stream. Held the lost Excalibur from the bottom of the water. Signifying problems. That is what important distributed sources no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from mandate from the business, not from some classical aquatic. You can't expect the world supreme executive power. Just because some more retards or just because some motion.
