Vote Blue Branding Meets Voter Reality In Washington

Nothing makes you question the “official story” faster than watching everyday voters disagree with what their own leaders keep selling them. We open with some laughs and a simultaneous sip, then pivot straight into what we’re hearing on the ground in Washington State: local candidates seeking endorsements, surprising county polling on transgender bathroom and locker room access, and a growing backlash to tax hikes that politicians keep treating as inevitable.

From there we zoom out to the national machine. We talk Trump’s unexpected move tapping William Pulte for an acting Director of National Intelligence role and what it says about consolidation when confirmations stall. Then we dig into the real force multiplier on the left: the vote blue no matter who brand. When party loyalty becomes the product, candidates can be swapped in and defended through scandal, and you can literally watch elected officials and media figures dodge basic yes or no questions while insisting it’s all “up to voters.”

We also hit the issues that shape quality of life and trust: law and order, homelessness policy, property line and boundary adjustment bureaucracy that can kill a home sale, immigration enforcement and detention claims, and a Senate that seems to walk away from priorities over internal fights. Along the way we connect election integrity fears, anonymous source reporting, and why more people are reaching for alternative frameworks, including Bitcoin, when institutions feel unreliable.

Peasants Welcome And Simultaneous Sip

0:08

And then they went to the green for the topic has no red. Do you know what's being red? Let me take the bomb. We're getting screwed, ma'am. Every time we turn around, we're getting screwed. The revolution's gonna be casting for sure. It's the little guy, the little guy takes the money everything. It's gonna be peasants, ma'am. We're just peasants. Every one of us. You watch those old movies, you see the peasants in the background with the kings and kings walking around. We're those people. We're those people. Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of the Peasants Perspective and Pray the Rosary Daily is right on top this morning. Good morning, Carlitz. Good morning. Let's see who else here got a lot of you, Ron. Good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning. Did you did I miss a pony boy in there somewhere? Uh I'm just guessing he's gonna be in there. Carlito Tiffany, hello from the tube. You know, it's funny on my ghost phone, I have no tube, which is like a YouTube knockoff. It has all the new YouTube channels, including the peasant's perspective. Don't forget to subscribe. And uh, but no tracking, Ron. It's awesome. No tracking, no keeping track of everything I searched for. For Razor, good morning from Boise. Glad you made it. Wow, it's so you know, it is actually quite enjoyable to get here right at 6 30 and people pile in. Those few mornings when people are slow to like get here, it's like, oh, check the stream. Is everything okay? No way, no way. Pony boy, good morning, uh, BB. Glad you made it. Good morning. All right, you guys, I know why you pile in here bright and early. You pile in for the simultaneous sip. And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a stein, a canteen, jugger flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip. And it starts right now. They want a bad straw. Has anybody ever tried those paper straws and not working so good? Has anybody ever tried juicy? The new stores made out of paper, right? It disintegrates as you're drinking. If you have a nice fire like this side, this would have no chance. By the time you get finished, the straw is totally disintegrated. Does anybody walk around with a plastic straw? Because it's not bad. You know, you whip it out, boom, boom. You never had to do that. So they want to ban straws. They said, Oh, what about the cart? What about the plate? What about the knives and the spoons and the plastic? Well, they're okay, but the straws we gotta ban. Straws we gotta ban. Oh man. Someday there's gonna be a book of Trump quotes, and it's gonna have like serious quotes, like a speech from from uh what was it called? Uh West. Sure. But then there'll also be bada bing, bada boom. Yeah, there's gonna be like quotes from West Point. You have to keep on fighting. You want to ban straws? Like every page is completely different. Pony Boy says BB was a typo. Well, I thought it was a I don't know, secret code. Yes, secret code. Yeah. I thought it was

Local GOP Meeting And County Polling

3:35

a secret code. So yesterday we had the Republican meeting. Ron, you missed it. Yeah, got a call from Ron last night. Uh yeah, man. Sorry I missed that. Yeah. Apparently, my wife has a girls' night out on the first Monday of every month, which is why I never attend these. Like, I get it. It's not on your calendar, but excuse code. It's a calendar you have to respect. The wife's calendar. I get it. We had the candidates come in last night and beg for beg. They begged. They didn't really beg that hard. They were all running unopposed, I think, except for one. But uh, they had to get our endorsement. That was kind of fun. So to hear from a whole slew of candidates. I will say this: the incumbents are good. Okay. The Republican incumbents from our area, they're good. They're well spoken, clearly have that rah-rah rah gene. They did a really good job. One of them was actually shocking because he got up and I thought, oh, this is gonna be lame. He's a state senator. Nope. It was like a rally, it was awesome. Awesome. Then we had the other people that are running either for the first time at this level, or there's one guy who's run before for school boards and stuff like that. But I think everybody else was running for the first time, or maybe second time, okay, lost the first time, that kind of thing. Anyways, all of them did a really great job. Uh they all got our endorsement except for one because there were two people running in the same uh same seat. But I thought it was I thought it was really good. Um, one of the things we found out last night is the Democrat Party locally, they're all being primaried, all their incumbents are being primaried. That's very unusual for Democrats. Yeah, they all being primaried. And what there's no better case study than than a woman named Tara Simmons. She's my state representative here. You're like, you're laughing here, okay? So Tara Simmons goes goes out to Washington, DC. And no, no, no, excuse me. It's not Tara Simmons, it's Emily. There's two of them. Tara Simmons is local Olympia Randall. Emily Randall is in is in is in uh the U.S. House. So Emily Randall, right, from the Pacific Northwest, upper left corner, the peninsula, a lot of loggers, a lot of hippies, crunchies, stuff like that. I mean, you could consider this area liberal. That's okay. You know, fair enough. It's kind of like hippie liberals. Yeah. And if you called somebody crunchy around here and they weren't, yeah, they'd give you some grace. Yeah, yeah. So here's the deal, though. She goes to Washington, and she's most famous for the quote. She got up and said, The most dangerous thing in America is white men who commit more crime than immigrants, which is totally not true, right? And she's constantly doing like high high LGBT outreach and activism and stuff like that. So the Democrats are primering her. Oh. Yeah. Pretty interesting. Now, they're primering her from the farther left, which is kind of freaky. Some lady out in Squims, like been to Gaza a couple times, huge supporter of Hamas, you know, kind of like even farther left. But a lot of the people that are running against them are much further right than the current candidate that's out there. But they did some polling in our county. Okay. So remember, one of the things I say is we are not a far-left county. We're not that deep blue. There's a lot of union workers here, a lot of people that work at the shipyards that are part of unions, a lot of people work for the merchant marines as part of the Department of Transportation. There's a lot of union type work here. Sure. And I believe that's why Washington has been traditionally blue, is mainly the unions. Remember, you've got like Boeing and you've got a couple pretty big powerful unions, the ports and stuff like that. So long story short, we get to this. Uh, and I can't remember. I I said long story short, buy me some time. I kind of lost my train of thought. Yeah, uh they did some polling. Yeah, they did some polling in North Kitsap County. And now keep in mind the representative that represents this area went to Washington, D.C. and is like, white men are the biggest threat, and totally into like all the transgender issues and stuff like that. So they did some polling. If you poll people in Kittsap County, and I I hope I get this correct. There were two numbers, and if I flip them, I flip them, but the point is the same. The first one was do you support transgender girls, aka biological boys, going into bathrooms and locker rooms with girls? Okay, should they be allowed to share the facilities? 85% said no. Not surprising to me. Is it though? Shouldn't it be? Now think about it. Well, it should be because this this kit this county has been blue forever. Well, that's if and if you go to any corner, there's always protests, you know, even though they're geriatrics, and there's all the signs, you know, code pink is here and alive and well. So here's my take. Okay. My take is this 85% means at a minimum 35% of the Democrats are not happy with these talking points. Absolutely. Which is why they're all being primary, right? The other one was And what you're trying to say is that means that maybe we're not as blue as we thought. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm saying there's a lot of ground we agree on, especially on social issues. Okay. The the other one, I can't remember if it was income tax, but the other one was like 70%. And it was like, how is this possible? Like, how is it possible that our representatives just gave us income tax down to Olympia when this is wildly unpopular? Apparently, the initiative to overturn it that'll be on the ballot this fall, people are standing in lines to sign the things. And like last night they were saying, this is like probably the most successful initiative we've ever had. You know, it's like apparently people don't want to be taxed, not even the crunchies. That's aside from $30 card tabs, which people have been signing for you know decades, and they're just tired of signing it. Yeah. So another uh John Attack says, nice day to work for the man. Yeah, another day, another dollar. Bitcoin's down, by the way. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. I woke up this morning, I was like, oh, I wish I had some more money to throw at Bitcoin. I used to work with a guy that used to say this every day another day, another dollar in the hole. Squirrel that dollar away. Yeah. So, a couple things before we jump into. I want to talk about how Democrats, the vote blue no matter who mentality is very powerful

Trump’s Pulte Pick And Power Consolidation

9:40

for them. But before we do that, this is hot off the wires this morning. The Donald Trump has nominated Pulte to replace to replace uh Tulsi Gabbard as the director of national intelligence. Not someone who is on my bingo card. Here it is. Maybe, maybe, maybe we'll get it. Not someone who's on my bingo card. What is the deal? I'm getting iced out of my my browser. Uh oh. This has never happened before. Just a second, guys. I know the audio listeners are all like, what the shit I'm having an issue with my uh video here. It's not letting me do any of my normal stuff. There we go. Maybe something happened. This is really weird. We'll do it live, we'll do it live, he says. We'll take it up, we'll we'll pick, we'll fix it in editing. All the repay listeners are like, there's no editing. I know, I know, I'm busy, I don't have time for editing. So I wanted to play this. All right, doesn't matter. Here's here's what he said. Donald Trump says, I am appointing the director of the federal housing finance agency and chairman of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, William J. Polte. Now we see Polte signs all over the place here. He's a home builder, has built a lot of houses, even in this area. To serve as acting director of national intelligence. William has deep experiencing managing the most sensitive matters in America and safe and the safety and soundness of the markets and over $10 trillion of Fannie Mae Freddie Mac, a substantial increase from where it was just 12 months ago. During this period, he he will remain director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chairman of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and congratulations to Director Pulte, President Donald J. Trump. Now that's pretty cool. I did not have him on my bingo card, but I will say that Scott Adams, bless his heart, before he passed, gave us the simultaneous sip. But Scott Adams said one of the people in Trump's cabinet that we needed to watch out for was William Pulte, Bill Pulte, that he has all the executive capacity, well spoken, good on camera, uh, a true financial person. Like he's been a house builder. His family is comes from a family of house builders, and that he was someone to watch for. Okay. Now, normally these directors of housing, they're kind of like we don't really pay much attention to them, although they have a huge impact on our lives, right? Yeah. And uh, anyways, pretty cool. So he's heading over to OD and I. Now, remember, he's the one who gave criminal referrals on Lisa Cook at the Federal Reserve Chairman. He gave uh mortgage criminal referrals on Letitia James and Adam Schiff, if I'm not mistaken. Okay. So he's he's already greased the skids a little bit, giving it referrals. Three for three in my book. Yeah, so it'll be interesting to see what he does over at OD9 if he's kicking out referrals on a regular basis or not. Well, it'll be interesting. Now, this keeps with Donald Trump's trend of not appointing new people to be officially nominated and confirmed by the Senate in these positions. Instead, he's taking more of a tact of consolidating positions in the government, which is really interesting. It's like Marco Rubio. He's got like five job titles right now. And I guess Marco Rubio just couldn't handle OD and I as well. So that's kind of bullet thousand guy, he's probably bored. So that's pretty interesting. Now, one of the things I was talking about earlier is the Democrats under Barack Obama perfected this mentality. And how do I know this? Because we had a former person who worked on Barack Obama's campaign that flipped to become Republican and was working as one of the Washington state GOP strategists. And her job was to tie in all the different campaigns that are happening and come up with some, you know, Washington Republican talking points and stuff like that that everybody can share. No longer works at the state. I don't know the whole story there. But she came and spoke at last year's Lincoln Day dinner. And she talked about how the Democrats changed the way they campaigned. So instead of the Democrat Party giving money to individual candidates, what they did was they created a brand, the Democrat brand, the vote blue no matter who brand. And they threw a lot of money at voter registration, outreach programs, and just branding around the Democrat Party. And the idea here was to get people to commit to the party, and then they could run whoever they wanted as a candidate. It was plug and play candidates, which is absolutely makes sense that we have seen that. When Republicans run, they run on their platform. I as a candidate, I as a candidate, I experience this, I want to do this. When Democrats do that, do that, they have some story about why they got involved in politics and want to make a change in the world, but then the policy talk ends there. Everything else is just about the party. Does that make sense? We, we, we. We, we, we, we, we, exactly. So they have done a really good job of that. The Republicans could do that. And under political remodel, we're gonna do a little bit of that, although we're taking a different tack with the patriot politician in the idea that the politician themselves will make their campaign promises and then we'll hold them to it, versus the the party giving them your campaign promises and holding them to it. So a little bit of different of a spin, more ground ground up control, and the candidate still has some say in what platform they're gonna run on. But nonetheless, the Democrats have perfected that vote blue no matter who, which is why the Democrats are having such a hard time with at least one of their main candidates. And they're gonna have two main candidates that are just absolute disasters. One is Talo Rico down in Texas, yeah, total disaster. Now he's gonna put on a strong campaign, they're gonna put a lot of money behind him. He's well spoken, he's kind of got the politician slime. Yeah, Hollywood will make him look good. Yep, they're gonna put a lot of money behind him, and the other one is Platinum up in Maine running against Susan Collins. This Platner thing in Maine is tough because what's going on is the Democrat Party has been has got this idea that they can just put up whoever they want. And it's worked for them. Man, my thing's not working again. This has got to be I have to resolve this, otherwise, we're gonna have a very boring show. We're gonna be talking about clips you guys can't watch. How can I fix this? Okay, that's that works. I bring it here, and all of a sudden I lose it. I put it back here. Yeah. I put it in the main browser. Even since the day that he was elected to office, that he's gonna be able to do it. What about Graham Platinum? Don't listen to it, guys, yet. Don't listen yet. So that's a preview. There we go. Okay, so um Michael Bennett, Democrat, Democrat uh Senator Michael Bennett, was asked about Graham Platiner. We're gonna watch Michael Bennett and Amber Adam Schiff and watch the deflection here. Okay, so this is classic political junky stuff. When you see this, the first thing he's gonna do is he's gonna deflect all the behavior onto the opposing party, Donald Trump in this case. And then he's gonna be like, ah, I don't know. It meets that high standard that you're talking about. Does Graham Plattiner meet that high standard in your view? Well, I definitely don't think the president meets that standard. He's proven since the deflect that he was elected to office that he's gonna be able to do that standard. I think Graham Platt I I think that's a fair question. Uh that is what the election in Maine is gonna partly be about, and he's gonna have to withstand the scrutiny of the people of Maine. That's what our elections are all about. What's your view? I'm busy running for governor of Colorado because I think we're living at a moment where my the families in this state are getting crushed by the costs that uh they're they're having to endure that's making it impossible for them to live middle class lives. And and I think that's important too, Caitlin, because our political system, our democracy, does not work well when people have lost the sense that if they work hard, they can get ahead. The cost of housing, health care, and child care being what it is. Well, what about grand platforms? It is an issue in Colorado, and and President Trump has made matters much worse with the gas prices going up and with his tariffs. But we've got to address those issues. You know, Democrats and Republicans have to address this

Vote Blue Loyalty And Candidate Train Wrecks

18:30

wandering in the wilderness. He's just wandering in the wilderness with his words. You know, um, this is why I could never be, you know, this is just me beating myself up. I feel like I can never be a politician because I don't know how to do that. You know, if somebody asks me a question, I just answer it. I don't know how to just bloviate about a bunch of nonsense for five minutes. How can you not answer the question when you directly three times? And Grand Platner? Well, Trump's tariffs. It's like a masterclass and not answering the question. So here's Adam Shift. No, you'd think knowing what we know about Adam Shift over the last decade, this guy would endorse anybody, right? Like, I don't know, does it keep my blackmail hidden? Yes, it does. All right, I endorse okay. So here's Adam Shift getting asked the same question. Again, this is CNN asking these questions. So when we talk about the the rails going off from Grand Platinum, CNN's not exactly the should be softballs. Yeah. Oh, geez, what is the ideal? No, that's the real clip. That's that's Shift's luck. Why is it not like I wonder if it's a little bit more than a little bit? Where's my tech manager? Refresh. Let me see if I can do something. Let me see if I can do uh, right? And obviously when it comes to the Senate. I'm trying. We're all messed up today, huh? All right, I got it here. Okay, here's here is uh Adam Shift. I do want to ask you one other uh key race, and that is Maine, right? And obviously, when it comes to the Senate, that's a crucial pickup opportunity, right? It could come down to Maine, and now we've learned that the Democratic candidate Graham Plattner sent sexually explicit texts to many women uh who were not his wife. And obviously, he's already admitted to having covered up a Nazi-linked tattoo. So, um, I mean, do you think he's fit? Do you worry about Graham Plattner? Are you you okay with him because he's a Democrat? Well, I'm gonna wait to learn more about these recent allegations involving his texting other women. Ultimately, though, it's gonna be up to main voters what they decide, how important or unimportant that is, and how important to focus on the economy cost of living and those issues are. But I'm gonna wait until I know more about what just came out with them. I'm gonna wait until I know more. What more is there to know? Well, he wants to find out what the voters think. So here's Dana Bash. So Dana Bash did her own little car. You know, apparently, like every news anchor that's got this million-dollar budget. Now the big thing is go do it in your car. Go do it in your car, like the people on YouTube. So in her car, she's doing some hard-hitting reporting on Graham Platner. I've been thinking a lot about Democrats and how they've reacted so far to the latest uh scandal up in Maine with Graham Platner and how much of an example this is of the kind of lesson they've been trying to take from Donald Trump and the way he's operated for the last 10 years. Just look at how Democratic Senator Andy Kim reacted when I asked him about it. First, he said that it's up to the voters of Maine. And then he did something very he focused on taking back control of the Senate. What do you think? Well look, right now for me, like I have not met him, I've never talked to him yet. People in New Jersey around the country is that they don't trust this US Senate right now led by the Republicans, as we are about to go back into session this coming week. And what they are pushing on is you know sixty to seventy billion dollars more for ICE, for CDP, for immigration. They want that stuff. So do what it takes to elect Democrats, regardless of the government. From my standpoint, I you know, I will work with it right there. Uh the people of Maine. So do what it takes to elect Democrats, regardless of anything like this. This is the vote blue no matter who problem. Elect, but I hope that they elect somebody that is going to stand up to this president, work with me to be able to fight back against all these dangers. Would this have been the way Democrats reacted five years ago, ten years ago? Hard enough. They would have been hand-wringing. How about 20 something years ago when a young lady named Monica made her way into the state of the city? And focus on what they need to do to win back the Senate, regardless of questions about flaws in their candidates. Because that has not gotten them far in a lot of races. It's made them lose a lot of races. And you can ask the questions about morality and ethics and everything else, but to see the evolution of Democrats on a leadership level, certainly those who are already in the Senate and want to be back in control, uh, to be more forgiving of things that they wouldn't have a few years ago is bad. I've been thinking a lot about what she's talking about how they don't know. Being more forgiving than things that they would have been a couple years ago. Things that they wouldn't have forgiven a couple years ago. Dude, what all their candidates are flawed. Every one of them. Like these are not Mitt Romney's running here. These are every single one of them is worse after the last. Right? Every single one of them is surrounded. You have a Hillary Clinton kill list, for goodness sakes. Barack Obama was in the car with what's his name, Sinclair. Like that story broke. The Bobelinski stuff with Joe Biden. Mm-hmm. The Tara Reid stuff. Yeah, this idea that like the Democrats have somehow, you know, they would have really opposed this. They only opposed Donald Trump. That's it. They didn't have any problem with Bill Clinton. They didn't have any problem with Barack Obama. They didn't have any problem with Hillary Clinton. They haven't had any problem with any number of these other sleaze bags that have come around. Right. Right. Not not one of them. Like, like well, the clip you just played there, it's like we need somebody who's going to oppose this president. Oh, not going to oppose some policy. We have to oppose the president regardless. Oh, here's another thing. I get, I know, I know what she's referring to. She got caught up in the Me Too stuff. She thought the Democrats were serious about that. Oh. Because they took out Weinstein, Weinstein, and a few others. So she thought that she thought that your moral character mattered. She thought that the Democrats had actually, you know, turned over a new leaf. So that's actually where that's coming from. Now I get it. You're thinking just a few years ago when cancel culture was abounding, you thought that that was actual morality. That's what you thought that was. That wasn't at all. That was just cancel culture masquerading as moral judgment characters. And obviously, how do we know? Because most of the people that were throwing out the moral character things themselves had moral failures. Like a lot of them. Here's another one. This is Elise Jordan talking about Graham Plattener. Now, this is on MS Now. I'm playing clip after clip of the not because we have a huge audience up in Maine, but I'm just showing you this is their like leading man on the Senate right now. This is their guy. And the other guy is going to be Talo Rico. These guys are full of problems. The problem is his judgment, which he clearly has been lacking in as an adult. It's one thing to have foolish, youthful indiscretions, but I'm sorry, you cannot get past it. It is not a Nazi-style tattoo. It is the tattoo of concentration camp guards. It is the very worst tattoo you can get if you are getting anything Nazi. And that's a pretty high bar there. So this has been a slow motion train wreck ever since that tattoo and knowledge of it hit the world. And it's only gonna get worse. These texts, there are multiple women. Are all those women gonna keep their mouths shut from now until election day? What do you think, Lauren? The pro Dude, that's MS now. Here's another one. CNN. Black woman getting in on it here. Oh boy. Jeez Louise. And by the same people who have run a lot of hold on. So one of the other things this woman uh reveals here is the socialists, the far left side, has run these candidates that are wearing costumes. They're actors. And this goes back to the AOC. She auditioned for the job. Yeah, no surprise, right? But I think we have lost the plot on authenticity. I think Graham Plattner is cosplaying working class. He wears it like a Halloween costume, and that has been placed on him by the same people who have run a lot of progressive candidates across the nation in this pursuit of getting to know the every man. She is a former chief of staff and advisor to the Biden White House press office. Wow. We keep picking these people who I think show the worst parts of society. If I am to believe that Graham Platner can relate to everyday Americans, then that means I am to believe that everyday Americans are okay with Nazi tattoos because they get them accidentally when they're drunk, or because they serve in the military, they have very regressive views on race and on gender. I just cannot accept the fact that to gain the working class, we have to dress up people who show the lowest of our values. But I think the thing is, it worked for John Fetterman. It worked for John Fetterman. Very interesting, very interesting out there. Now, the Democrats, they've done this a lot, right? They show you there has been more than enough opportunity to oppose Graham Platiner by the Democrats. They could have run someone else, you could have pulled support from him earlier on. So he got support and got to this point now where he's going to get the nomination if he doesn't already have it, and he's going to end up on the general ballot. And this is how the Democrats are reacting. Right now, keep in mind Susan Collins is a perfect running mate against him because Democrats will definitely vote for her. Right. Now, not to our liking. We would have loved to see her primaried by a better MAGA candidate. But with the Democrats talking about Graham Platiner this way and Susan Collins up, they're going to support Susan Collins. This is mainstream media. They're going to be all over supporting Susan Collins. That's a pretty that's you know, good, bad. I don't know. I'm still having this issue with my my browser. So this is also kind of a hit piece on the everyday man. Is that what this is? That's basically in her book, last book former vice president Kamala Harris. She wrote that staying in as long as obnoxious. Yikes. Just getting obnoxious. Okay. So here's another clip, too, that came out yesterday. This is Joe Biden. She's on like book tour right now. And she's going around and she's doing a lot of apologetics for Joe Biden. First time I ever saw him stutter was on stage with Trump. I didn't even realize he was getting old. You know, it's like totally ridiculous. Do you remember when there were sex rumors about Joe Biden and Jill Biden running? Like, like she got on the view and she's like, oh, it's you know, he's good in the bedroom. Ha ha ha ha. So here is here's Jill Biden being asked about Kamala Harris because Kamala Harris has written that Joe Biden should have dropped out sooner, that that was a disservice to the party and to the American people. Fair enough. Yeah. Right? However, Jill Biden's like, she should have said it at the time. In her book, last fall, former vice president Kamala Harris, she wrote that staying in as long as he did was recklessness. That quote, the stakes were simply too high to lead to one person's ambition. Does the former vice president perhaps have a bit of a point there? That is her point of view, and and if she felt that way, she should have said it. In her book. If she felt that way, she should have said it. Oh man, she was angling in the background the whole time, wasn't she? Dude, I remember when that happened, when all of a sudden it's like Kamala Harris is gonna run, and I was in prison. I was like, these guys are a disaster. How do you see this? So, in other news yesterday, so the word I ran, snip, snap, snip, snap, snip, snap.

Iran Israel Lebanon And A Fragile Pause

31:05

It's on, it's off, it's on, it's off. We got a peace deal, we don't have a peace deal, we're attacking them. So yesterday, the peace deal kind of fell apart. Trump kind of backed out, and then the Iranians backed out, and then they were gonna go silent. And Trump's like, Well, I can go silent, I'll just keep this blockade in place and bleed out economically. And then BB Netanyahu and his Israeli troops went and bombed uh Lebanon and tried to send troops on the ground up to Lebanon. So Trump got on the phone with BB Netanyahu and got on the phone with Hezbollah and said, Stop killing each other. So hopefully they'll stop killing each other. But for all the people out there that think that BB Netanyahu is wagging the tail the dog here, right? The tail wagging the dog, Trump told BB Netanyahu to F off. These guys have clearly a very strained relationship. There's quite a bit of writing on this that's out there. Every news channel's kind of reporting it a little different. But apparently on this phone call, BB told or Trump told BB, you're Fing crazy. Like, stop going into Lebanon, stop the fighting. Like, your objectives are not our objectives. Just totally like, you know, if you step out of line, I'll pull money, I'll do what I, you know, like just pulling out all the stops. Definitely not a situation where Israel is wagging the dog here, like at all. Good evening, John. President Trump just told ABC News he thinks an agreement with Iran will be reached over the next week. Now, today, here at the White House, President Trump spent his time in meetings, including calls with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the leaders of Hezbollah through intermediaries. Over the weekend, President Trump says he's in no hurry to reach a deal with Iran. Earlier, he posted on True Social he thinks the negotiations will continue at a rapid pace. And earlier, in an interview with CNBC News, the president did not sound as optimistic. Here's what he said. I don't care if they're over, honestly. I couldn't care less, and added that protracted negotiations have started to get very boring. Iran's foreign minister insists negotiations continue. Everything being said at this stage, the speculation and conjecture that is circulating should, in my view, be disregarded until matters definitive. President Trump has long insisted there is no deadline for a deal with Iran. Iran has long demanded the ceasefire include Lebanon, where its proxy Hezbollah is based. In a post on True Social, Trump writes he had a productive call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a very good call with Hezbollah. They agreed that all shooting will stop, that Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel. For his part, Prime Minister Netanyahu writes, Tonight I spoke with President Trump and told him that if Hezbollah does not cease attacking our cities and citizens, Israel will attack terror targets in Beirut. Central Command says American forces shot down two Iranian ballistic missiles heading to a base in Kuwait housing U.S. troops Sunday night. Zaran's second attack on Kuwait in recent days and comes just one day after U.S. forces disabled another ship trying to run the blockade. Iranian forces also shot down an American predator drone over the weekend, drawing a counterattack by U.S. forces against targets ashore. The ceasefire is not holding. They think the closer they get to the midterm elections, the less likelihood that the president would ever react to a negative deal with returning to military operations. On Capitol Hill, President Trump's handling of the conflict has largely split along party lines. Frankly, Iran is stronger than they were 90 days ago before this war because they've used their cheap and lethal drones. Today another cargo ship was attacked in the Persian Gulf, this time off the coast of Iraq. John Lucas Thomas is this ever gonna wrap up? No. I heard a thing yesterday. Someone was like, you know, to all the people out there that said Iran would be wrapped up in six weeks. I don't know, maybe I was on that bandwagon. Really wanted to believe Donald Trump that this would be wrapped up in the you know in the next six weeks. Oh no, you're really eating your words. I'm like, yeah, but we're not boots on the ground. Like we're firing missiles. I mean, I'm not I don't support any of this, right? But at the same time, I support it. It's mostly extended diplomatic stuff, though. Yeah, with a couple missiles back and forth. You're not hearing about like huge loss of life. But it's really interesting that Trump told PD Netanyahu to F off. You know, like you're crazy, man. You're fucking crazy. You're

Quality Of Life And Law Enforcement Promises

35:40

freaking crazy. Excuse me. Sorry, Dad, don't tune out. So another interesting thing, too, on the state front, last night um it was made very clear with the candidates talking that one of the very common things that they rise. One of the things that was very clear last night with the candidates talking is as they're going out and talking with people, there's a huge concern over quality of life, law and order, you know, Seattle homeless encampments making their way here. There's there's a significant concern about that. There's kind of a feeling in the air like things have gotten a little bit soft. Oh my goodness. I was so impressed with our Republican candidate last night, Rick Koos. Wow. Best speech I've seen him give yet. He met with Gary, and I think he's incorporating some of the political remodel stuff. He made some guarantees, things that he's going to do as sheriff. Like, for example, we have cartel operating in this county. Nobody's doing anything about it. There's no task force, there's nothing. And there's been like a complete silence by the Port Orchard Police Department and the Kitsup County Sheriff's Department to just let it happen. Like they're not doing anything about it. And he's like, I'll get a task force stood up, I'll get the resources we need, guarantee it. It was really good. I really appreciated it. But obviously, with each different state, it's like a petri dish of how different programs can work. And even within the state, right, we have our individual counties, and you can see how one county runs and another county runs. There's a there's something that is going on in the state of Washington that's a big problem. Have you heard about this? The survey delineations being a problem. So apparently, this is a bigger deal than is being let on. But we've all the surveyors have switched to like GPS type survey equipment rather than doing old school transits and you know landmarking and stuff like that. Okay. And so apparently a lot of property lines are off. A lot. What do you mean? What do you mean? So when they go to shoot like new property lines, they don't line up with the old pins. And so, like, if you've got an old property and you've got pins in and you've put up a fence, when the new neighbor gets a survey and he's like, Hey, your fence is five feet into my property, it's like, well, that fence has been there for 40 years and it's been surveyed nine times, right? So clearly the new survey and the old survey are off. So what they have to do is the new guys with the GPS coordinates have to update them so that they match the old pins if there's actually pins. In some cases, it goes the other direction. Okay. Apparently, this is becoming an issue. So down in Pierce County, they addressed this issue a couple years ago. And now, in order to get a new survey, a lot line adjustment, right? So if I have a fence and it's a couple feet onto your property, but it's always been there, and both neighbors agree that, yeah, that's that's the assumed property line. Let's fix the survey so we can sell the house or whatever the case is. In Kittsap County, it's like a thousand dollars. Get a surveyor to come out, lot line adjustment. It's a quick application, you can do it yourself. What does it take? A month? If that not even the paperwork stuff doesn't take that long, the entire process might take a couple weeks. Yeah. In Pierce County, they adopted some regulations where you have to get a permit to do a lot line revision. Like it's a two-year process. Okay, so what you're talking about is the boundary line adjustments. You're not talking about actual surveys. No, boundary line adjustments. I know exactly what you're talking about. So when you were talking about the surveyors, I was like, what are you talking about? And then when you got to the boundary line adjustment topic, I was like, I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm so glad that we don't have a boundary line adjustment ordinance here in this county, but they have been fighting one for decades, just like the one in Pierce County. We do not want that here. It's coming. No, we do not want that. Then you better show up at some of these council meetings because it's coming. Dude, they've been trying to pass this for the last 20 years, and we've been fighting it for 20 years. It's ridiculous. Well, it's coming. No, it cannot come. I'm telling you people, you have to fight this. Yeah, it's coming if we don't. They said they said it can hold up selling a house like years, like kill a deal. Like it's a big deal. So, anyways, it's kind of one of those things that's coming. But in every, you know, this is one of those ones where you go, Well, why do you want a two-year process? Why do you want to mimic what Pierce County's doing? And it's like, well, it's really good for bureaucracy. Yeah, but exactly what it's like. All these lot lines are off. I mean, this is like three people's jobs full time to process these applications. So it is another one of those, like you're creating a process that can just be handled by the surveyor and two agreeing neighbors to move the do a boundary line adjustment, right? Shouldn't be that complicated of a thing, which just goes back to say how good were our surveys before or back. Like, oh it kind of makes you wonder, right? People have been paying property uh property taxes on land they don't own for a long time. I don't know. I think the surveys are probably fine. Boundary line adjustments are needed all the time for various reasons, and usually it's not because the pins are in the wrong place, it's because something's in the wrong place. Yeah. So, anyways, point is right, there's certain things that work and don't work. What I don't understand to me, when I listen to our representatives and our politicians here in Washington State talk, I don't understand why they can't get the money. Uh I don't understand why there's such a budget shortfall. So we're a no-income state, no state income tax state. Right. Okay. There's other states like that, Wyoming, Texas, Florida, and a couple others. So they generate tax revenue outside of income tax. Um, you know, the specific one I'm thinking of here is Florida. So Florida, listen to this. They just passed Ron DeSantis is about to sign a bill eliminating in property tax on homes. They're an income tax free state. Okay. So not only are you going to have no property taxes for your primary residents, you have no income tax. Ron. Okay. So how do they get that? Making the change would require an amendment to the state's constitution approved by 60 percent of voters. Now, Florida isn't the only state considering changes. Others considering property tax cuts or even eliminations include Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Montana, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Now, according to the Tax Foundation, home values have risen 27 percent faster than inflation since 2020. That's where those high taxes come from. But many local elected officials oppose any change. Orange County Mayor Jerry Deming saying this is I support meaningful tax relief for residents, but the governor's proposal could significantly reduce the local funding that supports essential services like public safety, fire and rescue, roads, and parks. Governor DeSantis has suggested that a trust fund be created to assist local governments with bills for services, but no details yet on where that money is going to come from. Lawrence? So this is really fascinating to me. No income tax and reducing property taxes, and they can still pay their bills. Now, obviously, one local Democrat's like, well, I can't pay my bills. Well, you probably have a spending problem, let's be honest. Okay. But it's one of those things, like, why can't our local politicians go survey all these places and go, well, how did they do it? Right? Like, how do they generate enough revenue survive? Listen, I have yet to hear anybody move from Florida to Washington. I haven't seen it. Okay. They're like being relocated by the Navy or something like that. I haven't seen it. But I know a lot of people, including my own daughter, who have relocated to Florida. Guess what they say, Ron? It's nicer there than it is here. There's a better buzz in the air. Okay. Not only do they have arguably better weather, depending right, on your preference, but they also have more law and order, they've got a better tax environment, they've got a better entrepreneurial environment, and they're a growing state. Washington has now become a shrinking state. Why can't we mimic some of their policies? Like, do you think that people only go to Florida because of the warm weather? I mean, I don't think that's the case. Now, one of the other reasons, too, now Florida, I think, has some election problems. Mike Lindell will back me up on that one. But Florida, just a couple years ago Years ago, when Ron DeSantis won, it almost went blue. Because remember, Florida was a swing state for a long time. Is it a swing state now? No. In fact, it'll be 20 years before the Democrats get that state back at minimum. Like they got a lot of work to do. They've completely lost that state. So a state can flip. You can go from pretty solid blue, even swing state, to a solid, you know, the free state of Florida instead of as opposed to Washington, the home of the fee, right? Um, you can flip a state pretty quick when you can take over these positions. Look at how much Ron DeSantis has done for the state of Florida. It's been impressive. Even if you don't agree with him on a lot of stuff, he's

Taxes Property Lines And Why States Shift

done some good work. Yeah, absolutely. And this issue that these politicians have found is this lack of law and order. This happened this happened this week in Parkland. This is down in Pierce County. Do you know where Parkland is? Yeah. So listen to this story. This is tragic. Parkland, Washington. Two people have been arrested in connection with the death of a 17-year-old Washington high school student who was shot and killed after being robbed of a necklace, authority said on Monday. What? This is the kind of stuff we hear about in Compton or, you know, Newark, New Jersey, or D.C., right? Pierce County Sheriff's Office said a 26-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man were taken into custody Sunday in connection with the May 24th killing of Brylan Diaz. According to investigators, Tulalup police officers arrested a woman in a Walmart park Tulalup late Sunday night. Earlier that day, the man had been arrested by the Sonomish County Sheriff's Office during a traffic stop and was being held in custody, officials say. Pierce County detectives traveled to Tulalup to take custody of the woman and coordinated with the Snomash County jail to transfer the man who was booked into Pierce County jail. Authorities have not released the suspects' names or announced formal charges. Investigators added that additional persons of interest remain outstanding. We hope that they know that we're looking for them and that they that they would do the right thing and turn themselves in. The biggest thing they need to understand is we won't stop and they can't hide forever. Diaz, a junior at Washington High School, was killed May 24th while walking with his girlfriend near 102nd Street, South and South Sheridan Avenue in Parkland. Authorities Parkland is a very affordable neighborhood, by the way. This is a suburb of Pierce County of Tacoma. Eventually, investigators eventually the sheriff's office excuse me. Authorities said a group of people in a red car approached the couple, demanded Diaz's necklace, and then shot him before fleeing the scene. The sheriff's office later released surveillance footage of the suspected vehicle and asked the public for help. The killing sparked an outpouring of grief throughout the Parkland community. Friends, family, members, and classmates gathered at the visual days after the shooting to remember Diaz who played football and soccer and was described as loved by and as a well-liked student. So very interesting. Ferrazier says, and occasionally on any given evening in Florida, has rockets exploding as they try to launch. It does not happen in Washington. Applesville's just self-combust, as far as I know. So, anyways, this Parkland incident, this is another one of those situations where you have a generalized breakdown of law and order, right? The fact that these people think that they can just come and, hey, I want your necklace. Boom, you're dead. Like the the the series of events that transpire to that moment, that's not the first time those kids have robbed. It's not the first time they've pointed a gun at someone to get their way. It's just, it's just maybe the first time they robbed someone and pulled the trigger. But that that series of events that happens last night at a Republican meeting, we heard from a judge and he's running for Supreme Court in Washington. He had a really interesting thing to say. Washington, we've always had elected judges. And that's because when we went from a territory to a state, the territorial governor could appoint whatever judges he wants. And when one person appoints all the judges, those judges will inevitably make political decisions because they're beholden for their position, etc. So we wanted in our constitution for our judges to absolutely be independent and be elected by the people. Makes perfect sense. Problem is about 70% of our judges in Washington state are appointed by the governor because they created a little racket. Before a judge retires, they resign, the governor appoints someone, and then that person gets the run for an incumbent. This judge said there are seats in Washington that have not had an election, like an un an a just a regular vanilla election. Some seats for six and seven cycles. Right. And then a lot of seats, it's like they get one cycle every three or four cycles. But he said, like 70% of our judges are all appointed. He says the entire Washington state bench is like ideologically driven. He used the example of the woman who was appointed as judge in Mason County, where he's from. She was appointed as judge by the governor. He ran for that position, ran against the accumbent, and beat her. Beat her resoundingly. She made bad decisions. She was ideological, all that kind of stuff. So then what happened? Two weeks, if I'm not mistaken, two weeks after the election, she was appointed as our Kit Sap County Superior Court judge. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And so we need to get her out next time she's up because she's not a good judge. But, anyways, he was talking about how the state and the the judiciary has set like bond limits and bond rules. They can do things through rulemaking. And there's certain things like uh he gets a lot of flat because like he'll have someone come that's there for like domestic violence, and they have there's like a $200 bond limit, you know, and he's like, I gotta let this person go. The other thing, he used to be a prosecutor and he prosecuted a lot of drug possession charges. There was the Baker case here in Washington State that said that you can't charge uh possession for drugs anymore. And he's like, that's not good. But one of the things he was saying was there the proof that they're ideologically driven. For example, in Washington State, if you have a concealed carry permit and you're carrying a handgun, if it's on your person in a holster, it can be loaded. But if it's in your glove box in your car, it can't be loaded. Right? It has to be unloaded. If it's on your person, it can be loaded. If it's in your car, it has to be unloaded. Well, a lot of people just keep their handguns loaded, take them out, put them in the glove box, lock up the car, walk away. Well, should something happen and your gun is discovered by a police officer, they'll charge you with a crime. And he says, in Washington state, there's no bail limit on that crime. They view you the same as a rapist and a murderer. It's a no-bail situation just for having your gun loaded in your in your uh glove box. I did not know that. Yeah, he said that that is an ideological problem. And we see that all over the place, right? We see this lack of ability to enforce basic law and order, and then deflection by politicians when nothing gets done about it. No better example of that than Karen Bass down in Los Angeles. So she gives gives a little, you know, she's at a private event. This is in somebody's house, obviously, and she's talking about homeless encampments. Tell me if this isn't the richest thing you've heard this morning. Well, I think for the undecided voters uh to understand that they have a choice to make. And that choice is a reality TV villain? Really? How did that work for us on a national level? That's one choice. The other choice is a city council person who's been in City Hall twice as long as I have. To me, that's one of the most important issues in our city is people feeling safe. You can't feel safe if there's an encampment there. It's not safe for the people in the encampment, and it's not safe for the people around. How do you do business? You're responsible for that. They're still there. And by the way, did they think she was shorter than she was? You saw like reading down the microphone? Did someone say Caram Bass is 4'11? Yes. What she's done, she's she's poured taxpayer dollars into getting the homeless people off the streets and she's putting them up in luxury, luxury hotels. It's costing taxpayers a lot of money. And the idea was to get them right. And the idea was to get them to be autonomous, stand on their own two feet, to get cleaned up, to go get their own place eventually. You can't get a job without teeth. I think they said five percent are, yeah. Then they have the homeless but not toothless. Yeah. Right. I mean, it's just you'll have teeth. Well, you'll be homeless. You'll have teeth. What you can't get a job without teeth? What? Well, yeah, you know, you can't one of the reasons of homelessness is you can't get a job, and it's because you're missing all your teeth because of the drug use. Okay. So you can go get free teeth as a homeless person. So if you need some major dental work done, just move out onto

Homeless Policy Antifa Clash And Election Fears

the street and apply. I mean, it's there for you. The funding's there. There was a whistleblower in Washington state that was last night that was running for office last night and presenting. Lawrence is his last name. And he apparently has sued the state like 30 times or something like that. And he's been a whistleblower. At one point, he was a car dealer. Okay, this is way back in like 2009, 8, somewhere around there. He was a car dealer and he had illegal immigrants coming in to buy cars. And these illegal immigrants were talking about voting and getting their ballots turned in on time. So he called Washington State, Department of Elections, Secretary of State, told them all about it. And they were like, Okay, well, um, don't do anything. He's like, Okay. So then he called more people. He got like the federal attorney general and he got a bunch of people involved. And then they came and took his car license. Oh. The state came and took his license, attacked him on that. So then he fought him in court, got his license back, right? Because there was no reason to take it in the first place. Got his license back. And since then he's been exposing this election, you know, for a long time, election fraud. Now, he thought certainly when he exposed it before, they would put a stop to it. He was like certain that they wouldn't be doing that. Anyways, he was rattling off a bunch of the stuff that he's exposed through his lawsuits. It's pretty, it's pretty amazing. Again, people make the difference. Okay, people make the difference. Out in Battleground, Washington, you know where Battleground is? Uh is Battleground Thurston County or is it Pierce County still? I can't remember. It's down there, it's kind of out in the hollers of Pierce or Thurston County, right in the foothills of the Cascades. And Battleground, Washington is a very conservative area. Back during the COVID days, I don't know if you remember this or not, but they were one of the no mask zones that go into their city without a mask. So very conservative little town in Pierce, I think it's Pierce County, Washington. I could be wrong. It might be Thurston County. Either way, very conservative town. Well, last night they passed a county or a city resolution to declare, along with the federal government, Antifa a domestic terror organization. Okay, so what this does, what this does in the city of Battleground is it takes the gloves off the local police department to work with all the task force and things like that and to get those resources to go after terrorists domestically. Okay. Now they had this city council meeting, and guess who was in the audience at the city council meeting? Antifa! Oh many importance of America. So the sound is really bad, but this is a huge room of people. There are a lot of people here at this council meeting, county council meeting, city council. A lot of people here. Okay, so these Antifa folks that are in the crowd, they flip them off, say F. So the police come and escort them out, and uh they make their way out, of course. We know your citizen. Oh boy. That guy's transgender. So that Antifa guy's transgender. You can I don't know if you heard the voice, but it's transgender. Not great audio here because it's all blurpy and blippy. But either way, Battleground Washington last night voted to recognize the federal government's designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization. And Antifa members ended up getting arrested at the event. So there you go, people. If you don't want to move out of Washington, move to Battleground. Seriously, they're they're fighting hard down there. Now, the interesting thing about that is they just recognize them as terrorists, and you just got arrested interrupting a government meeting. I'm pretty sure that's like seven to ten years in jail. Right? Like, should I mean if it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander. I mean, these Antifa people got no love in their heart for me. You know what I'm saying? Anyways, really interesting. Dan Goldman, senator, who was one of the prosecutors on Donald Trump's impeachment team. So that's where he kind of made his fame. He was a staff member. I don't remember who he was a staff member for, but he eventually ran for office, won a seat, and so he's one of Trump's primary persecutors. Kind of a sleazy politician. I mean, he's uh again, it's just all Democrat, right? It's all talking points. He's not a people's politician. I don't know how else to say it. Because he went in and sat in with his constituents. He wanted to hear their trial, they were going on trial, so he wanted to sit in with his constituents and listen to how their legal proceedings happen. Out in front of 290 Broadway in Manhattan here, where I just observed several mega master hearings, a new concept from DOIR, the Department of Justice's immigration enforcement, where they are essentially having an assembly line of immigration cases. Some courtrooms have as much as 100 people who are supposed to appear. It is literally a factory at this point, just rolling people through. And it's disgraceful. It is a blatant, blatant violation of due process. Let us be very, very clear. I will keep going back, we will keep fighting, we will keep elevating this because it is un-American and unacceptable. Okay, so his constituents are being deported, and he's big mad about it, and uh went to their hearings. If you were a constituent on trial in New York and he was your representative, and let's say you were, I don't know, a J6er, do you think he shows up at the trials? No. This is just a factory of mine in here. These judges are opposing everything, they're not letting any evidence come forward. Yeah, no, tell me about it. But when it comes to illegal immigrants that really have no due process rights, it's show me your papers. Oh, you don't have them? Okay, go home. Like that's your due process, right? Like go home. That's the remedy. Go home. Going in and being upset about it is just shocking. Now, with the immigration thing, right? A lot of what they do is they pull at your heartstrings. Now, I understand this. Last night when I was sitting in the Republican meeting and I'm listening to this judge talking about locking people away and being a prosecutor, my heart hurts. When I hear different politicians talk about, well, these people that are using drugs on the streets, we should lock them up. It's the best thing for them. I'm like, I get it. There's no quality treatment the government's going to provide if they're not going to go to the city. It's selective, though. It's all selective tugging. It is selective tugging, right? And then you'll get one that gets up and you know, we need to fix the jails. And I'm like, I can agree with that, right? Now keep in mind, my experience through the prison system and through jails was that with the feeling of an innocent man andor overcharged. So whether you want to call me innocent or not, I think most reasonable people will agree that seven years for pushing a bike rack, maybe not proportional. Okay. Maybe. I don't know. It's up to you to decide. But either way, right? I do believe that once you're incarcerated, you're entitled to health care, to be kept alive, to be prevented from getting additional drugs. I think that should be sanitary, shouldn't be full of cockroaches, mice, rats. These to me are like basic humanity type things. One of the things I disliked the most in the District of Columbia was the food. It was horrible food, right? It was bologna sandwiches every day. My mom wrote me a little note. She says, Are they trying to give you gout? All the sulfates and the baloney. I was like, probably. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if that's a problem in here. Well, Tom Holman, because a lot of criticism over the immigration and deporting people has been their conditions while they're in holding, right? While they're in transit. They go to a detention center, it might take a month or two, they have their hearing, they get deported. And so during that time frame, they're incarcerated. Now, these are all federal facilities, which I presume means they're eating the federal prison menu. That, you know, they can just scale that and you know, they know what they gotta buy. I will say this when it comes to jail versus prison, prison had great food compared to jail. It was totally a different world. I'm not saying it's great food, it's compared to jail, right? No more bologna sandwiches. You got real food, whole foods, real food. Well, Tom Holman went and toured one of these facilities. And I know how these tours go. They get walked around with a whole bunch of cops around them, and you know, place has probably been pre-cleaned. But nonetheless, he sat down and ate the same meal the inmates ate. I remember what started all this. You got Democratic lawmakers on Memorial Day making false allegations about the facility, about the food, the medical care, hunger strikes. I went into that facility. I went to the medical, I went to outdoor recreation, indoor recreation. I even made a surprise visit this weekend and walked into the cafeteria and ate the same meal that the detainees around me were eating. And I made sure my tray equaled their tray. I had spaghetti and meat sauce, I had beans, I had green beans, I had uh bread and rolls, I had drinks, I had dessert. The food was good. It's all a false premise. There was never a hunger strike. The congressman said, Well, people are on hunger strike. No, they weren't. They may not be eating in the cafeteria, but what I found out, they're ordering food from the commissary and eating in their cells. So there's there wasn't an abuse. There's it's not an inhumane condition. I went to the entire facility, I ate the same meal they ate. That facility is well run, and the governor keeps saying she's gonna keep raising hell if that facility shuts down. Well, I got news for the governor that facility isn't going anywhere. We're gonna enforce a law, we're gonna detain people, and we'll remove people. Matter of fact, a lot of the people in that facility we couldn't release because they're mandatorily detained by federal statute. So we couldn't release them if we even wanted to. But we're not gonna release any of them. Everybody in that facility I have ascertained is legally being detained. Legally being detained. Many of them again, mandatory detention, many of them criminals. So he ate the same food. I don't know if I'd describe it with such such excitement, but it's probably better than uh it's probably better than what you'd expect. And it's probably better than your local county jail is feeding the inmates right now. So I don't know, man. Like the immigration thing, get him out. Like, go, go, go, go, go, go. There was a little bit of a spat between Mark Wayne Mullins and Greg Bovino. Greg Bovino was the former border chief patrol. Apparently, he said something critical about Mark Wayne Mullins. So Mark Wayne Mullins did this whole, I don't know who that is. Like, I don't know. Next question. It's like, okay. It's like a little little weird. Mark Wayne Mullins. It's kind of like uh give it somebody the silent treatment or something. Yeah, well, I don't know who that is. Dude, the guy was literally the border chief for like 20 years. Like, like, hello, you're gonna like say he did something good. Like that kind of stuff is just caddy, and it's kind of annoying, right? The other thing, talk about caddy, the United States Senate.

Immigration Detention Claims And Senate Stalemate

1:03:51

The United States Senate. So the United States Senate got pretty upset over the weaponization bill. Pretty upset over the weaponization bill. So upset they walked away from their housing bill, they walked away from the Save America Act, they walked away from funding ICE and Border Patrol and Secret Service. They just went on vacation, right? So upset about this. Well, this is another one of those things there where it's like, listen, there's a reason why two incumbent senators this this last week lost their primaries. It's this kind of nonsense, right? It's acting like you're you're too good for the game. These guys, these guys have stalled out the Donald Trump MAGA and Mahud agenda like nobody's business. All Trump wants is for these guys to just do their jobs, confirm my nominations, right? Put the people in place. That was a huge delay. You know, Donald Trump hasn't had any recess appointments at this point in his presidency. Every other president since the dawn of America has had recess appointments by this point in their presidency. Why is the Senate doing that to them? Why are they not allowing them to have recess appointments? This might explain why Marco Rubio has five jobs and now Polte's got two jobs, and you know, there's a bunch of people doing double duty. It's because the Senate isn't doing their job. The last significant thing the Senate did was pass the big beautiful bill last summer. And since then, I'm unaware of any other bills that have come to the president's desk. You've got the Clarity Act sitting in the Senate. They have a lot of work to do, and we're coming up on the midterms. You'd think they'd want to put some wins in the shoot before they head out and go campaigning, but instead, they're all upset about this weaponization fund. Inside his own party, Senate Republicans left town without voting on a bill to fully fund ICE and border protection, border protection after pushing back on the president's anti weaponization compensation fund. Now we have Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Perm Pergram with more clarity on all of this for us from Capitol Hill. Republicans. Revolted about the weaponization fund. I think a lot of people are troubled by it. Nobody knew anything about it. We learned about it in the press. Democrats and many Republicans plan to kill the fund with Senate amendments. Maybe this is the one that will finally have them saying publicly that this is a corrupt action at its heart at its heart. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said the White House should have consulted Congress about the anti-weaponization effort, but presidential allies defended the fund. Every single Republican who was on the ballot, like I was in the 24 cycle, talked about stopping the weaponization of government. President Trump says, quote, I gave up a lot of money allowing the anti-weaponization fund to go forward. Former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said it would be, quote, utterly stupid, morally wrong to award money to pardon January 6th rioters. Some conservatives are angry that Senate GOP leaders pulled the plug. It's pretty gutless on the Senate's part to what they did, and their leadership needs to be called out for it. They need to do a factory reset at the Senate. No money for ICE and Border Patrol could be a problem for the World Cup. And this likely jeopardizes other GOP priorities, like passing a signature economic bill before the election. Molly? Chad program. All over a weaponization fund. $1.8 billion, a drop in the bucket. A drop in the bucket, right? Like shouldn't be that big a deal. Now let's see, where was it? Oh, let's go here. This is maybe we should come up with a list of all of the spending bills that cost two billion dollars or more and just rank them. Where would this rank? Oh my goodness. It'd be like in the thousands. Nothing. Yeah, it'd be nothing. What's think about how much money we've sent to Ukraine. I mean, and again, this was a settlement. This was Donald Trump's settlement for his lawsuit that he then minimized, right? From 10 billion down to 1.776 billion, and then dedicated it to a weaponization fund. It is a settlement. He's choosing to pay this out of his settlement. So I'm not exactly certain what the Senate can do. Yesterday the DOJ put out a statement saying we're going to abide by the ruling, aka we're not going to do anything, like the judge asked. Doesn't mean it's dead. It just means it's dead for now, right? But again, it's one of these things where it just makes you scratch your head. Because remember, this is the same Senate, generally composed of the same people who were in power during the Biden administration, the Obama administration. You talk about graft and corruption. Do you remember that Project Veritas undercover video that came out where the guy's talking about at the end of the Biden administration they were throwing bars of gold off the Titanic that could be found later? And it was like $29 billion they were just shoveling out the door. There's emails going back about how grant recipients haven't filled out the paperwork properly and they don't even have a business plan. Doesn't matter. Give them billions of dollars, anyways. You've got emails going back and forth between Biden staff members and EPA staff members saying, hey, it would be weird for me to approve this grant and then go take a job at that NGO after this. Tons of stuff like that. So he so Lee Zeldon did an interview with John Solomon where he just laid all this stuff out. He's made criminal referrals for some of this stuff. It's that bad. Now, he did say he got back the $20 billion. Either the government hadn't given the grants yet, or they're in a bank account to be dispersed, but the bank is holding the money. They're not letting the money flow. So John Solomon recapped this reporting on his show. Today I interviewed uh Lee Zeldon, the EPA chief, and he said that he's been digging into that $29 billion in green energy grants uh that he blocked money that he saved the American taxpayers. He was going out the door at the end of the Biden administration. He told me today he has found a major self-dealing scandal. In other words, uh Obama and Biden administration officials were moving money around to former cabinet secretaries, to former to donors, to political activists. Stacey Abrams, one of them. We know about that from our reporting earlier this year. Um, and that he's now made several criminal referrals. We'll check out that story tomorrow morning at jetsnews.com. I have all the details, all of the receipts from that. Today I interviewed uh Lee Zelton, the APHC, and he said that that he's been digging their time hauling in those Biden and Obama cabinet officials and NGOs and people who were literally on the inside dealing. They could be hauling those people in instead of going on vacation. Yeah, they could be worried about $29 billion instead of $1.7 billion out of someone's settlement. Yeah. Right. But do you see how this Senate is just they've lost the plot, folks? Like if you go survey the vast majority of Americans, 85% of them want Save America Act. If you go survey the vast majority of Americans, 60, 65, 70% do believe the government was weaponized. And it doesn't even matter. There's people on the left that believe the government is weaponized. Remember, they were singing that song for a long time too. Okay. So this is not an uncommon belief system out there. You've got what else what else is out there? How about transgender kids using uh girls' bathrobes, right? You've got 70, 80, 50 support, even in blue counties like our county here. Right. They don't want to pass the Save America Act that is also 85%. I mean, the Save America Act by itself might be one of the most popular pieces of legislation that's ever been proposed. Now we're not said about a weaponization fund for people that were politically targeted. It's ridiculous. Right. Remember the clip we played from Harry Inchon. It's the 85% support from all Americans. Exactly.

Tina Peters Warning And Media Source Games

1:12:05

So yesterday, thank goodness, thank God, Tina Peters was let out. So she's now she's now on parole, which means she's got all her parole conditions and terms. So I don't know how much media we're going to be seeing out of her. I've got a feeling she's going to push the limits on what she can do, but normally when you're on probation or parole, you're very limited in weight. No talking. Typically. Yeah. Typically. Now Tina Peters has not been silent this whole time. She sent lots of messages and stuff like that. But Tina Peters was out, and she, I don't know if it was her first interview, but it was one of her first interviews. She had this interview on War Room. She gives us a warning that I think is really clear. Last night, John Cameron in our Republican meeting reminded the audience, you know, mentioning that Tina Peters was out. He's like, she's like me in that we protested and did something about the stolen 2020 election. She actually was 2022, if I'm not mistaken, the election machinery that she exposed. But either way, he's like, she's been persecuted for her beliefs about our elections. She has a pretty good warning for us, which is important for us to understand, take in. Seeing our country at two 250 years gives me hope with the people standing up. Um my concern is, and as I watch this happening and everyone celebrating, is that I see these these elections that are taking place in real time. You know, the Mondamis, the the the um uh, you know, the the Virginia governor, um Spanberger, and you know, um, and then what's going on in in California and and Texas and Maine, you know, just all over the country. And I know that um I know that the Democrats are going to cheat. And um, and no one's really addressing the problem that the Masic that I that I spent my time in prison um as retribution for, and that was exposing the um the election machines that allow the um the votes to be flipped. So that's the thing that I really um as we're coming up to our 250-year anniversary, um I'm joyful that we still have our liberty, but at the same time, I'm very concerned and um and um burdened with um with why no one is is talking about this she's still worried about the media and about these elections that the Democrats are still up to their dirty tricks, and they really are. There was a lawsuit filed yesterday by Alexis Wilkins. You know who she is? Super famous country singer that you've never heard of. Yeah, super it's a joke. She's not that famous of a singer. She's Cash Patel's girlfriend. Okay. She's Cash Patel's girlfriend, and allegedly, you know, she's like this famous country singer. I'm sorry. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. Not really that famous. But she filed a lawsuit against Versant Media Group, Carol Lenning, and Kendelanian. Now, the name Kendelanian should probably ring a bell for most people. Yeah, that would know. Deep state Ken, right? Anytime that they want to sync a story and it's a deep state story, they go to Kendelanian and uh they can get it published. No problems at all there. So this defamation lawsuit is about MS Now, formerly MSNBC, using sham anonymous sources to push knowingly reckless and false allegations. The defendants, Kendelanian specifically, asserted that Miss Wilkins demanded, and Director Patel ordered that federal agents assigned her to her security detail, which did not even exist at the time, and escort an intoxicated friend home after a quote, night of partying. They falsely portrayed Miss Wilkins as being intoxicated, even though that she does not drink. Now, the interesting thing is people drummed up some photos of her drinking. So I don't know. She drank at one point. So this is a conversation. Um, this is a conversation that happened uh between Ken Delanian and Ben Williamson, who is the FBI spokesperson. So on December 2nd, 2025, three days prior to publication of the article at issue in this case, defendant Delanian reached out to FBI spokesman Ben Williamson to obtain comment on this accusation that Miss Wilkins' detail had been diverted to escort her friends home. Defendants grossly misrepresented and diminished the FBI's response in the article writing. So this is the conversation. FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson did not answer questions about multiple inside accounts of Wilkins' detail being diverted, but broadly denied such events even took place. He said, quote, this is made up and did not happen. Williamson said. Okay. Then he goes on to say, the detail that this is Williamson, the detail you emailed about looks like it's made up. I just checked. No record of it anywhere. And Alexis, who doesn't even drink, said it's not true. As did director. Did you have any more details? General date? Who is the friend? Anything? Delanian, stand by. Williamson, do you not have this info already? Delanian. Just to be clear, no one is saying Alexis was drunk. We just don't have details you are looking for, but we are comfortable with our sourcing. So just looking for your official comment. So Williamson says, so you have no name, no date range, no nothing, just comfortable with your sources. Are you serious? The Democrats are up to their dirty tricks, man. Like that is a great example. I'll never forget. I will never forget this. This is the moment I officially became Republican. Okay. Prior to this, I could vote either way. I could vote Democrat, I could vote Republican. I had my old set of standards. I knew how to judge what people's platforms were, and I could vote both directions. I've ashamedly admitted that I voted for Barack Obama, Mr. Hope and Change himself, right? Now, a lot of that was because I was voting against who they were running for. Looking back, I don't know, maybe we would have been better with John McCain or Mitt Romney. Who knows? But either way, right, I could I was a persuadable voter. And so I kept up on the news. I'm a political junkie, right? You guys listen to the show every day. Obviously, I read some stuff, I watch some things, you know. I got an idea. And one day I had all the news apps on my phone. You know, I had a Fox News app, I had a CNN news app. I don't think I had MSNBC, but you know, I had a couple other news apps and aggregators, and I would read the news voraciously. It's just one of the things I do. And one day I was on the CNN app, and this is like, I don't know, spring of 2016, 2017. Trump's in office, Russia Gate is now full bore, but uh Bob Moeller's been appointed as special counsel, right? Things are in like full steam ahead mode. And I'm going through CN the CNN app, and I think I was on the politics page. Can't remember, it doesn't matter. But I'm on it and I'm reading article after article. Now, my training is you look for who said it, right? I want to know what they said. I don't care about the commentary around what they said, I want to see what they said, put it through my filter, and then I'll read the commentary and see if I agree with it or not. Right. Okay. I think I know where this is going, but keep going. So one day I'm going through the news, and it's the entire news stack on CNN. It's the whole news stack. Anonymous source, anonymous source, anonymous source, anonymous. This is exactly where I thought you were going. The citations. None. Zero citations. There were no quotes. There were no people that that said what they said was being said. Yeah. It was garbage. It's like 100% made up. 100% made up, right? Nobody's willing to put their name on it except the author that's getting clicks. I mean, that's it. And I I remember I just had this flash in my mind, pravda. This is just propaganda, right? This is trying to get me to take a bite at this apple and join the team, but there's nothing compelling here for me. I deleted the app. I was like, I deleted the app. And that was probably a moment in time where I all of a sudden looked at Trump in new light. They're attacking this man, and they have all this evidence, but can't report any of it. Can't share anything with us. And what little we were hearing, like the Huffington Post of the leak, it wasn't leak, they published the entire steel dossier, garbage. Garbage. But yet they were still talking about it as if it was legit. It's like I can go read it. You're referring to it in these CNN articles, like in the uh steel dossier, there's allegations of XYZ. And I'm like, Yeah, and all of a sudden, all of a sudden, you're like, this is all slop. This is slop. I know. It was even before AI slop dates, too. It was bad. So I tacked right. Like at that point, I started looking at Donald Trump and I go, if they're attacking him so badly, maybe it's because he's over target, right? It's just that classic thing. It's the Streisand effect. You know, don't, don't, Donald Trump's a Nazi. Well, maybe I like Nazis. You know, you're not gonna go over here. Like, I don't like what you guys are selling. John Attack says, just so you know, I can tell my friends that you went to prison, but still have a problem letting anyone know about the burn from my dad. My dad, everybody. Just so you know, I can tell my friends that you went to prison and still have a problem letting anyone know about the Obama. That is pretty good. That's pretty good. That's pretty good, Dad. That's a pretty good one. Oh my gosh, that's so funny. In Hawaii, someone who is running for uh a Democrat congressional seat, candidate Krill Basin Basin, B-A-S-I-N, was arrested for storming a government building with a gun. Hawaii police arrested congressional candidate Kirill Basin for terroristic threatening today, for allegedly threatening multiple county workers while carrying a gun. He allegedly had an argument on Wednesday with council member Tom Cook and staff members. Then in Wailuku this morning, police locked down a county building while officers searched for the 40-year-old. Three hours later, they found Basin in Keyhei. I just want to go back and read his uh thing here. Compassion to lead, compassion to serve. I'm Col Bassin, and I'm running for Congress because I can no longer stand on the sidelines, like many of you, and uncertain. When my fiance challenged me to step forward, I knew I had to act. At NYU Law, I served the ACLU as an active public defender. Today I'm a father, a local business owner, and someone who feels a deep responsibility to family, community, and our shared future. I love this state and this country and bring strong values, clear vision, and energy to this moment. Here's what matters right now. Two Americas lie ahead. We must choose the one that realizes this country's unlimited potential. If we want to live in America that rises on fearlessness rather than the one that sinks to the level of its own fear, we need to get serious today. Join me at the government building with your guns. That's what I'm doing. Oh goodness. Don't always believe what the candidates say. All right, guys.

Bitcoin Dip Jim Cramer And Lawfare Updates

1:23:40

Okay. Last a couple other things here. So Bitcoin, Bitcoin's pretty down today. Let's see. What's it? I woke up this morning and it was under 70,000 bucks, and it hasn't been that for a number of months. It's definitely in buy mode. Oh my gosh, I know. It's amazing. Some people are if you think of it like a tech stock, oh, 6809. Oh my goodness. Awesome. Wow. So, anyways, if you think of it like a tech stock and you have a short time preference on this, like you want it to go up and sell, then Bitcoin's probably not for you, right? It's a money. If you understand it as a money, it changes your time preference. I look at this right now and I'm like, this is a buy price. It was really exciting to sell at 84. Right. But either way, Bitcoin's down today. And of course, have you heard about the Jim Kramer jokes and memes? So Jim Kramer on CNBC, he does the stock market picks. Yeah, I know who he is. Yeah. So the joke is, and it's consistent. People have put spreadsheets together. Anytime Jim Kramer endorses something, says it's time to do the opposite, it's time to sell. Anytime it says it's time to sell, it's time to buy. I mean, it is like it is, it is like clockwork. There was at one time that I thought that his opposite advice was the Pelosi tracker. Yeah. So he's this is be it's like a meme. I mean, it's it's he's consistently like this. You can take a lot of really big stocks that took off and did really well, and just before they took off, he's like, it's time to sell. This company's dead, right? So we think that the bear market is over for Bitcoin. Uh I do know that again, the faith of the American people shocked. Just shocked. I mean, I still think that I think that crypto, I mean, I sold him a crypto. I announced everything on TV what I did with crypto, but I would not touch crypto in a million years because I wouldn't trust the deposit bank. We are literally on the verge of the crypto, the clarity bill. The genius act was passed last year. We're about to have an announcement on the strategic reserve for Bitcoin. And here's Jim Kramer like, get out. Do you think he works for the banks? And you're making no distinction between centralized, decentralized. They bought regulation, they didn't want regulation, and you don't have regulation. So if you have your money in any of those, I look, I'm not calling you an idiot. I'm just saying you're using a lot of blind faith. And I like to have my money at JP Morgan, and I check on Monday to see whether my balance is there or it's there, it feels good. Try getting your money out. When I I had money, I'm not going to mention the firm that I had my money in, but it was a fight to get the money out. A fight. And I think that everybody who owns these various corners, you know, Solana, Litecoin, I think you're I do think you're an idiot. Okay. I did not go to college to get stupid. These people who own these things should not own them. Okay, so this clip, he just did this again. So I got the wrong clip. This happens to me. Okay. I saw that was from January or something. Well, it's way back. Bitcoin was at 16,000. Yeah, I saw that. I did not go to college so that I could get a 400x investment on my money. No, I fight for one or two percent. Verazer says I'm holding for another 10-point drop in Bitcoin to buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, sink everything into it for now. Just the weekly buys. Yeah, no, I dude, just because Bitcoin's down. Again, I I I always think of uh the strike CEO. When you understand Bitcoin, you don't do one percent of your portfolio, you do 100%. It's money, right? It's it operates differently. Anyways, I thought that was pretty funny. So there's Jim Kramer. That was the last time he said, I'm out, I'm out. It was just about ready to go parabolic again. Oh, all right. Last thing, some good news. Donald Trump took a swipe at Alvin Bragg this morning. Alvin Bragg created a new crime just for Donald Trump. He took misdemeanors that didn't exist and turned them into felonies that never existed. They have a charge for Donald Trump that nobody has ever seen charged with in the history of Manhattan, and they didn't charge Hillary Clinton's lawyer, who became the chief prosecutor. Mark Palmerant and the judge's daughter was the chief fundraiser for Kamala Harris and Sleepy Joe. By dirty cops and crooked politicians. He also put a post out yesterday talking about how Michael Cohen, who was the chief witness in this Alvin Bragg case against Donald Trump, the whole Stormy Daniels case, he's the attorney that made the payoffs and all that kind of stuff. So he's recanted and said, I was put under pressure. They were threatening with more jail. They were threatening my wife. And basically I did what they said to do, totally recanted his story. So this case is on appeals right now, and Donald Trump's encouraging the courts to do the right thing and dismiss it outright. So it'll be interesting to see if that happens. All right, guys, it's time to jump over into private. And do you remember a couple days ago we watched some British kids eat some American food and loved it? Well, today we're going to watch some American kids eat some British food. Uh-oh. Do you think the results will be the same? Do you think the results will be the same? So join us over on private. We'll talk to you guys in just a minute, and the rest of you will see you tomorrow. All right.

American Kids Try British Food Plus Outro

1:28:55

Okay, so this is kind of fun here. So these are a bunch of English kids, or English, English, Americ, American kids. These American kids. I assume they're from the Philadelphia area, considering all the Eagles' paraphernalia here. But either way, they're American kids and they're going to enjoy some traditional British food that is common over there. Kind of like our mac and cheese. They've got predictions like that. So let's see if the response from Americans to British food is quite as resounding as the response of the British kids to assume that your smile's the predictor. Yeah. Hey, we're giving American high schoolers some traditional British food. Oh no. That is a lot of beans. Not again that ever. That tastes like it could make some thoughts. All of this stuff is genuinely eaten in the UK. That's worry. It sounds scary when you say starting off with a sausage roll. Oh my. This looks like a huge pig in the blanket. Not far off. Not far off at all. At first it looked like chocolate on the inside, but that's not chocolate. It's definitely not. Lunch, dinner, breakfast. Anytime. Anytime. I would eat anytime 24-7. I could wake up in the middle of the night and have one of these. Oh heck yeah. Wow. A billion pounds. Currency, yeah. Oh, I thought you meant weight. Pounds pounds. Oh, that's super warm. Are we upsetting you already? No, no, no. Okay. Okay, then I'll just love a bottle of sausage rolls. Oh, yeah, this is actually so crumpling. Cheese bowl. Oh, that just cheese bowl. Sausage bowl. Unsheath the sausage. It's like a breakfast burrito. British breakfast burrito. I like the alliteration. It's got a little bit of a weird texture at the end. Sort of soft and squidgy. Yeah. It's not bad. It's just cold. It's really freezing. Okay. I like that. I actually really like it. Starting on a high. Hell yeah, it's just downhill alone here. I'd love to eat that for breakfast, yeah. Have you ever been to Quick Trip? Quick trip. Quick Trip. It's a fill-up station. Oh gas station. Stop by a quick trip and get some of their roller grills. Grills or grills? Grills. Okay. Grills. They have heating stations where you would warm up hot dogs on rollers. So then they have different kinds of stuff that's on the ground. What sort of stuff is on there? You got hot dogs? Yep. You got your dogs. You got your hot dogs. Yes. Yep. Sourcy trolls? Um, no, but you know what? Elijah's like, no, that's the British. Okay, next up. You're in for a treat. This is a great pop snack. Not really a looker, but it tastes good. Don't judge a book by its cover. Oh dear. Do you want me to judge it? That looks like a spinach. That was like fried. I'm guessing more sausage. You guys eat a lot of sausage. We love that you're getting that. Okay, it kind of looks like the macaroni. Oh, you get like cheesecake. So good. Well, it's not that. It's not definitely button. No, you ripped it. Yeah, I got it. Very good. That's me. I would not have gotten that ever! I didn't know you've had eggs in the UK. It kind of looks like a pepper muffin. Oh no. Maybe not over. Cut it in the middle. Cut it in half. Yeah, I got it. Gosh, that would narrowly avoided you ask for that. This is an egg surrounded by sausage meat. Oh, it's like a breaded crusting. Mm-hmm. And then fried. I think it tastes really good. I'm okay with that. You're okay with it? I'm okay with that. Sounded like you were nervous going in. I think she's prudish. I don't like it. Alright, she's gonna go. Stop. Oh no. Oh no. That's a lot of beans. You've seen the memes. Now you get to taste the memes. I was scared of the egg, but this scares me more. It's red. It's like pasta sauce almost. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Do you like pasta? Yeah. Do you like beans? Yeah. Do you like toast? Well, uh, no. Of all the things that he didn't like. Look at it! It's moist! It's yum! Are you still red here? Red is there to absorb all of the bean juice. That was the smallest bite I think I've seen anyway. I'm scared! I swallowed a bean hole. Oh, that can happen. They're slippery little guys. Oh, that's ambitious. He's going for extra chocolate. Are you in a beautiful channel? I feel like it would be better with the barbecue beans that we have here. It's bland. Yeah. There's nothing unique about beans of supplement ever. Well, so when I was in college, spent a lot of time studying Europe. Oh my god. And uh one of the things that I had these, I can't remember what books they were. There was History of Eastern Europe and History of Western Europe. And we had these books that went through kind of like a brief overview of every country's kind of national origin and you know like a clip notes thing. No, I mean it was a it was a textbook, but it was it was like when I say brief overview, it's because you're covering all of Eastern Europe in one semester. You know it's like spent two or three weeks on the Balkans, two or three weeks on what you know, Poland, and you just kind of go through them all. But uh one of the things in one of the textbooks it was talking about Western Europe and like how the the English are really engineering, schedule oriented, that kind of not the the the uh English, the Germans, uh, and how the um the French are very uh romantic and emotional and have excellent food and stuff like that. And then it was like the British are they just have bad food. Bad food. And it was like, anyways, there's a bunch of jokes in the book, in the textbook, it had a bunch of jokes how the Western European countries will kind of rib each other for their different stereotypes, you know, like like uh hell is run by the Germans and you know, it's like this whole thing, and it's in the in the the cooks are uh the it was uh it's like in in heaven, the lovers, I think it was in heaven, the lovers are Italian, the cooks are French, the uh I can't remember what the British did, and then the Germans ran the place or something like that. And then it was like in hell, the Germans are the lovers, the French are the organizers, administrators, the British are the cooks. It was like, I can't remember what else was, but it was like totally messed up. Anyways, I watched that. I was like, oh, that's a good one. I saw another one with the same British kids, maybe a different set of kids, I can't remember exactly, but they were trying barbecue. Uh right. So the other one was like kind of more American pop culture foods. Yeah, yeah. This one was all barbecue, and they were just like, oh my god, brisket, this is amazing. And they were having ribs and they were just loving all the sweet treats, all the sweet meat. I think, I think, I think when it comes to food, America got the better end of the deal after we separated from England. That's my that's my belief. Yeah, we incorporated sugar. Sugar, sugar, artificial food, processors, food dyes. We got it all. Yeah, the problem with British food is that a lot of it was created and established before sugar was really a thing, and it just kind of kept going. Yeah, we we have a short, chubby, wonderful existence. All right, guys, that's it for us today on the show. We'll talk to you again tomorrow. Thanks for seeing it through to the end. Bye. Come back to whatever. I'm 37. I'm 37, I'm not old. Well, I can't just call you man. You could say Dennis. I didn't know you were called Dennis. Well, you didn't bother to find out, did you? I did say sorry about the old woman, but from behind, you look what you automatically treat me like an inferior. Well, I am king. Oh king. How'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers, by hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there's ever going to be any progress, how do you do? How do you do, good lady? I'm Arthur, King of the Britons. Whose castle is that? King of the Britons. The Britons. The Britons! We all are. We are all Britons. And I am your king. No, we have a king. I thought we're an autonomous collective. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship of self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes. That's what it's all about. Only people would please good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle? No one lives 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. Yes, I see by a civil majority in the case of purely internal affairs. Be quacked, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of being quacked. I order you to be quacked. I'm your king. You don't vote for king. The lady of the lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bottom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I'm your king. Listen, strange women lying in ponds, distributed swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derived from a mandate from the masses, not from some vast or aquatic ceremony. But you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart through a sword. I mean, if I went round saying I was an emperor, just because some moistened bitch had loved a simitar at me, they put me away. Shut up, we shut up now.
