How Donor Money Funds The Very Extremism It Condemns

The fastest way to understand modern politics is to stop treating every scandal as a one-off and start looking at incentives. We do exactly that, beginning with the fight over FISA reauthorization and Section 702 surveillance, where “keeping us safe” collides with a long history of alleged abuse, partisan obstruction, and the uncomfortable truth that government tools rarely get surrendered once they exist.

Then we jump into a string of stories that all rhyme: Epstein-file hypocrisy, the SPLC superseding indictment allegations, and the bigger idea of an NGO industrial complex that can profit from the very problems it claims to fight. We walk through the mechanics described in the indictment, why donor-funded “good causes” can drift into self-preservation, and how manufactured fear can feed media narratives, law enforcement priorities, and political fundraising. We also get personal about the risk of infiltration and entrapment in fringe groups, plus what legitimacy actually looks like if you want real change.

From there, we widen the lens to election integrity concerns in California, the trust-killing optics of weeks-long ballot counting, and the real-life consequences of policy failure when businesses leave and cities spiral. We debate homelessness, housing costs, drugs, and taxation, and we cap it off with a forward-looking segment on Bitcoin, self-custody, running a node, and how digital asset regulation and talk of a strategic Bitcoin reserve could either expand freedom or tighten the control grid.

Welcome Peasants And Morning Sip

SPEAKER_05 0:00

Or wherever, put a gun to the head of one of the exchanges and said, Give us all the wallets. And they did.

SPEAKER_00 0:06

And then they went to the queen! Do you know what's meant? Let me cake.

SPEAKER_05 0:21

Every time we scream, we're getting screwed. The revolution's gonna be for sure. It's a little gun. It's a little guy. 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 Fraser. Bright and early this morning. He says, Greetings from Boise, where it's Thursday, the legislative equivalent of realizing the deadline is tomorrow. Better get your homework turned in. Sarah Sings, welcome, welcome. So glad you made it. Sarah Sings, I'm gonna be driving across country, and I have been thinking about making a little trip through Oklahoma to come and see you guys. Yeah. So I'll probably be connecting with you later. But awesome. Thank you. Glad you're here. Pray the Rosary Daily. It's Thursday. Yes, it is. Carlites, good morning, good morning. Glad you guys all made it. What a great morning it is. It's raining here in Seattle. So all of you that are in other parts of the country wearing tank tops and shorts and flip-flops and just having a great time. I'm still wearing a sweater.

SPEAKER_07 1:44

But because we have like a hundred words for rain, it's actually drizzle.

SPEAKER_05 1:48

It's drizzle. Yeah, it's a little drizzle. Yeah. Dude, it's so this place sucks. I get on these meetings with people all day long, right? And they're just like they're over there like cooling themselves. I was on with a guy in Hawaii yesterday, and I'm just like, what am I doing here? This is stupid. I listened to oh, it was it Peter Thiel? I can't remember. It was might not have been Peter Thiel, but it was one of these billionaires. He's like, you know, when you can live anywhere in the world you want, there's only a handful of places that qualify. And he's like, Seattle has everything you need, but it's the worst weather in the world. And like this place is good, and this place is good. At the end of the day, we all end up in Miami.

unknown 2:29

I want to go to Miami.

SPEAKER_05 2:30

Oh, Carlito and Tiffany from YouTube. Good morning. Glad you guys made it. And I don't know why you guys pile in here bright and early. You're here for the simultaneous sip. And all you need is a cup or a mug, a glass, a tank or a chalice of stein, a canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite fluid, liquid. And I like coffee. Sorry, thinking two steps ahead of myself. Okay, there we go. And I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better is the simultaneous sip, and it starts right now.

SPEAKER_11 3:09

Okay,

FISA Reauthorization And Surveillance Abuse

SPEAKER_11 3:10

on Pfizer. First of all, I don't think he said it's interim. It's an acting role, but he's not said that he's gonna appoint somebody. So I just I don't think well, acting is interim by definition, right? But let's um if Democrats are not gonna, they say they don't trust, they said they didn't trust Gabbard, and they I would they've said they don't trust Poulty.

SPEAKER_13 3:31

Um could you pass FISA without Democrats? The answer is The Democrats wouldn't trust Jesus. Um there's not a single person he hasn't been nominated. But do you I mean, how do you handle this if you can't get you can't have democratic votes? Look, I they're playing political games, uh Jake. The Democrats are not willing to do anything, even the most simple, basic, important responsibility to keep the American people safe because they want to make life hard for the president, you know, TDS, Trump derangement syndrome. I don't know how else to explain that. I don't think I I really can't think of a single person that they would willingly go along with right now. That's where they are. And so it is a constitutional crisis, uh, really, in one sense, because when you have a party whose sole objective every day is to stop the president, wreck the administration, make his life miserable, not go along with any uh of his appointments or any of his agenda, uh, it creates a real crisis uh for the American people. We got to get past that. So, I mean, I'm calling on Democrat colleagues to put the politics aside for the sake of FISA reauthorization, if nothing else. This is the statute that keeps Americans safe. And if we want to prevent terrorist attacks in a homeland, we cannot allow that to go dark. Republicans are ready to put this into action, but we have to have 60 votes in the Senate. They're gonna have to put that stuff aside and allow the president to do his job.

SPEAKER_07 4:54

Okay, would you second a nomination for Jesus?

SPEAKER_05 4:59

Democrats wouldn't support Jesus Christ. Well, he hasn't been nominated. So, in an amazing move, in another 5D chess, Donald Trump, right, at one point was putting out Truth Social Posts saying, eliminate FISA, kill it, right? And you've got a lot of our favorites like Anna Paulina Luna and Burkhart, they're like, FASA's bad, we gotta get rid of FISA. And I totally 100% believe FISA gets regularly abused. We know the abuse uh the uh of FISA against Donald Trump by targeting Pete the likes of Carter Page and the two-hop rule and the entire Trump campaign. We can only barely scratch the surface on how much spying and unmasking they've done on American citizens. So at one point he's like, we have to kill FISA, but the military stepped in because the military uses FISA, because they're the ones that are actually spying on actual bad guys all over the world, right? It's the FBI that's like looking at Taylor John Attackis' web browser, right? He's tapping my phone calls and whatnot. But so the military has talked Donald Trump into wanting FISA, but Trump, you know, Trump's a man of first principles by nominating Pulti, he might have killed FISA, Ron. It might be the best thing ever. King Jeffrey signals Dems will oppose FISA. Here's Jeffrey's to me just now. FISA was already on life support in terms of democratic support, and the decision to put deeply unserious, dangerous, and unqualified person like Bill Poulti into the position as the acting director of national intelligence is about to cause the plug to be pulled. Yay! I'm sure the military will figure it out. They'll come up with their own rules of engagement overseas, right? Now, what?

SPEAKER_07 6:36

Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_05 6:37

Yeah. Now, one of the other things, too, there's in politics, it's easy to take the easy way, right? Broad and wide is the gate to hell, and narrow is the path to heaven. Okay. So when you have a consensus around a candidate or a nomination, some of us can kind of sit back and scratch our heads and go, hmm, the entire uniparty supports this candidate.

SPEAKER_08 7:01

Hmm, right?

SPEAKER_05 7:02

It's a little weird. And so sometimes you can judge a man by his enemies. So when I hear something like this, obviously Tom Tillis piling on to Polte here. Uh, apparently Tillis and Besset in the past have had a little bit of a disagreement.

SPEAKER_06 7:18

Like tell Polte, you were gonna punch him in the face. I actually said I was gonna kick his ass. Good. I share the emotion. Um thank you. And as I said, that was last summer, summer twenty-five, and many teams have fights in the locker room and then go out and win for the team on the I was just curious because everybody's gonna be uh showing that.

SPEAKER_05 7:44

I made it clear I'm I'm not gonna support Polty. Of course, don't tell us you're not gonna support Poltey. You're probably gonna vote for abortion here in a second. I mean, you're just doing anything you can to oppose Donald Trump totally single-handedly ended your political career. Pony Boy says, good morning. Glad you made it, glad you made it. Okay, so something else really interesting happened.

Epstein Files And Political Hypocrisy

SPEAKER_05 8:03

There's this email back when the Epstein files got released. Who knows if we got all the Epstein files? We know we didn't. All right, so this is to Jeffrey Epstein from a gentleman named Adam Wyden. Adam Whiten, confidential minimum random. Okay. And it says in here, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to meet with me. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. And I hope my passion and dedication for my business, my business, keep that in mind here for just a second. My passion and dedication for my business came through in the meeting. I live and breathe. I live and breathe this business and take my returns, integrity, and reputation quite seriously. He loves his business, passion and dedication. I live and breathe this business. I it's it, I take my returns, integrity, and reputation quite seriously. And I believe I have the mental fortitude and energy to stick through the tough times, drive value when others are fatigued. I intensely appreciated, like-minded, like-minded individuals, and would very much look forward to having you join us at the fund. I've attached our subscription documents. I would very much look forward to continuing the dialogue and working together. Thanks in advance. All the best, Adam. All right, so that is an email that was put out on the Jepstreet Epstream files from an Adam Whiteham. So who is Adam Wydom? Senator Whyden. Who is Adam Wyden? It happens to be Senator Wyden's son. So now we should have a poll straw or a straw poll. A polymarket. What do we think Adam Whiteham's primary business is? What do we think that is? We're gonna find out. Scott Besson absolutely did the most uh this is like the uppercut from hell. This is Mike Tyson in the ring right here.

SPEAKER_06 9:43

Listen to this takedown. Senator Wyden has mudaciously slandered the Treasury Building in an attempt to cover up his son having an investment meeting with Jeffrey Epstein to ask for funding. Thank you.

SPEAKER_23 10:03

Chairman? Yes. Let's be clear here.

SPEAKER_07 10:08

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_23 10:09

Nobody is interested in the ramblings of a capo in the most corrupt regime in American history. We want to get some facts about this deal. That's what we're here for.

SPEAKER_10 10:20

Thank you.

SPEAKER_06 10:21

Well, thank you, and I will uh ask my questions first today. And we we would like to hear what Adam Wyden and Jeffrey Epstein talked about. Your son's largest investment position was Rick's cabaret. So did your son and Jeffrey Epstein talk about pole dancing as he begged him for money using your limited credibility?

SPEAKER_05 10:42

Oh wow. My dedication to my business, my passion. I love this. Did they talk about pole dancing? Man, I wish I could have shown you guys Ron's face. Full on open mouth.

SPEAKER_07 11:04

I can do a recreation.

SPEAKER_05 11:07

It's like, what? Oh my goodness, Scott Bessett has got some, man. He has got what? Is it me? My headphones? My headphones went blank. It was me. Wow. Douglas Wyatt, good morning, peasants. Glad you made it. Glad you made

SPLC Indictment And Donor Money Trail

SPEAKER_05 11:22

it. All right, we're gonna dive into this SPLC nonsense.

SPEAKER_07 11:25

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_05 11:26

So the SPLC, yesterday there was a superseding indictment released. The original indictment was, you know, not it was it was damning, but you know, it was an original indictment. Well, now that they're into the thing and they've probably already further reviewed and they've got more people flipping, we got a superseding indictment that was bad. So, Doug, Doug Wyatt, uh uh. Back when we were in prison, one of the things that I said was don't become the thing you hate, right? Don't let the bitterness of what was happening to us turn us into the very thing that is causing us to be bitter, right? There's there's always this the victim becomes the oppressor, and then they become the oppressor, as they're the oppressor, they create new victims and there's a cycle that happens. So don't become the thing you hate. The SPLC has a storied history. It took down the Klan. It took down the Klan, right? At a time when the Klan was organic, when the Klan was real, when it was the last remnants of racism that stretched back to the pre-Civil War era, the SPLC took down the Klan. What a great service to our country. However, in the 1980s, in the 1980s, the SPLC started a very coordinated program to push white supremacy. Okay, and it became very complex. This according to this indictment, this wasn't something that happened like um, this wasn't something that happened where they were how do I put this? This let's let's see. Um this wasn't something that happened that wasn't coordinated. It says in the indictment that wasn't organic work. Yep, the S SPLC's network of paid extremists, the Fs. So throughout this indictment, it refers to uh these informant people as Fs. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 13:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 13:21

Interestingly enough, that's not some DOJ legalese jargon. That's actually what the SPLC called them. This was very coordinated. It didn't happen in originally. I thought, oh, maybe that somebody that was racist kind of came around their orbit and they thought, let's give them a little bit of money. And it, you know, this whole thing spread over time is a little overblown. It's a lot of money over a long period of time. And I can see the shell corporations, I hate it, but I could see if you're on the SPLC side where you're like, ah, that you're taking this out of proportion, right? I thought that. Turns out the indictment alleges starting in the 1980s, the SPLC began operating a covert network of individuals who were either associated with violent extremist organizations or who had infiltrated such organizations at the SPLC's directions. The individuals were referred to by some high-level employees within the SPLC as field sources or F's. So they got an actual designation. Upon entering into an agreement with F, the SPLC assigned each F a unique number. The SPLC assigned those numbers in chronological order. They were keeping track of them on their books. Okay. The SPLC then paid the F's with donor money. Between about in or about 2010 through through in or about 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled approximately 4.1 million dollars in tax-exempt donor funds to a series of fictitious accounts described here after here and after. These were sole proprietor networks. So they would have these F's, or somebody on behalf of the F's would go out and be a sole proprietor, and they would get an EIN number and a bank account, and they had a whole series of um, they had a whole series of these entities. Center Investigative Agency, CIA, Fox Photography, Northwest Technologies, Tech Writers Group, Rare Books Warehouse, Imaginary Inc., JJ Electronics, Kelly's Marine, and Turner personnel. These fictitious entities were never incorporated. They were sole proprietors. They had no bona fide employees and conducted no legitimate businesses. But on bookkeeping entries, it would make sense that the SPLC would pay a photography company or a Northwest Technology Company or Tech Writers Group or Rare Books Warehouse. Yeah, they might have all kinds of vendors. Yeah. So oddly enough, a lot of racists around the country are like employed at Rare Books Warehouse. They have pay cards, right? And at one instance, at one instance, one of these racists that was designated as a racist, as a white supremacist by the SPLC had a financial, had a romantic relationship with one of the executives at SPLC. And they paid him $1.2 million. So the anti-racist is banging the racist, and the anti-racist is paying the racist to do it.

SPEAKER_07 16:17

Was he in the polls?

SPEAKER_05 16:19

Dude. All right. So here's what here's what it goes on to say. He said approximately $4.1 million in tax exempt donor funds were to give to a series of fictitious accounts described here and after. The general purpose of these fictitious accounts was to pay the field informants, the Fs, who were either leading or affiliated with multiple violent extremist organizations. The F's use donor money gave to the SBLC to, among other things, A attend extremist group rallies across the country. B host extremist group rallies across the country. C grow existing chapters of extremist groups. D. Create new chapters of extremist groups. E recruit new individuals into extremist groups. F make donations to extremist group leaders. G. Purchase materials for cross burnings. That's kind of a weird one. Purchase materials to make clue klux clan robes and hoods.

SPEAKER_07 17:24

Okay. That's pretty specific. Now hold on, hold on.

SPEAKER_05 17:29

We have a costume budget, folks.

SPEAKER_07 17:31

Is this a smoking gun or is this a history document that we don't care about? What's going on?

SPEAKER_05 17:36

This is a smoking gun. Yeah. This is a smoking gun. Are we going to do anything about it? You know, conservatives have been looking around going, you know, I don't know a lot of racists. I mean, I know my uncle Jim is a little weird. You know, I just I just can't see him putting on a hood and burning a cross. Well, no, they don't know the SPLC guys, right? I mean, you got to be in the end to get that privilege. Who's gonna pay for that nonsense? Well, the SPLC will pay for it. Purchase materials to make clue click clan robes and hoods. Dude, that's create racist paraphernalia that extremist groups sold at rallies. Publish extremist literature used in the recruiting of more members, and pay everyday living expenses, which allowed the Fs to focus on their extremist groups rather than seeking other employment. Huh. Certain SPLC employees knew Fs used donors' money to actively recruit new members to grow their violent extremist organizations. SPLC actively led donors believe their donation donations would be used to dismantle violent extremist groups. However, the SPLC hid from donors the fact that a portion of their donated funds was being secretly used to support extremist groups and to fund their violent racist and extremist activities. These activities were of the same nature as the activities about which the SPLC published articles on its website and other forums in an effort to obtain donations. At one point in this indictment, one of the Fs goes to the SPLC and says, Hey, I'm having a hard time recruiting new members because when people look up my name on your website, it is so extreme that they get shoved away because they don't want to be affiliated with someone as extreme as me. And so the SPLC went in and toned down the language so that he could recruit more people. Well, of course.

SPEAKER_07 19:24

So I got another question for you. If you get most of your money from the SLPC or I'm shooting, I said it's SPLC. Yeah. If you get most of your money from them and they tell you you can't work anywhere else, who do you work for?

SPEAKER_05 19:41

Apparently a record company or whatever. You work for the SPLC. Yeah. I mean, hello. Exactly. They were hiring the Ku Klux Klan members. So they spent $300,000 just on the Charlottesville rally. Okay. And the guy who did organized it, they paid $300,000 just for transportation to the Charlottesville rally.

SPEAKER_07 20:06

Wow.

SPEAKER_05 20:08

All the racists that showed up at the Charlottesville rally carrying tiki torches with veins bulging as they marched out of the woods. Were there paid by the SPLC. And it was their biggest windfall because Trump then came out and said, I condemn the racists and the neo-Nazis entirely, but there were fine people on both sides of the Robert E. Lee Statute Act paradigm situation. Right. But he condemned the SPLC employees entirely. Right. But that led to the death of a woman and two law enforcement officers.

SPEAKER_07 20:43

And the SPL PC or damn it, I can't get the right SPLC. They go, hey, those are Trump's racists. He's a racist.

SPEAKER_05 20:52

The entire reason that Joe Biden said he ran for office was because of Charlottesville.

SPEAKER_07 20:57

Right.

SPEAKER_05 20:58

Even after it had been debunked. Just the fact that Trump didn't call neo-Nazis and white supremacists fine people, right? Just that alone was like those guys, you know, I ran for president because of that. Well, we already know that's fake, right? But now we know it goes even deeper. It was a complete setup. It was a complete setup. Now we we can take this question, we can go to things like who built the gallows on J6?

SPEAKER_08 21:21

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_05 21:22

Who broke the windows on J6?

SPEAKER_08 21:24

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_05 21:24

Right? Who's involved in all these ICE protests and these pro Hamas protests and these different things? I don't know,

How Extremism Gets Manufactured

SPEAKER_05 21:30

but we better find bearded mirror now. Yeah. That's me, by the way. That's me, by the way. So this is what we call the NGO industrial complex. You have this non governmental organization, this nonprofit foundation, that now, in order to generate a reason for people to donate to the cause, they have to have the cause, right? It's very Machiavellian. Create the crisis, present the solution, profit off the solution, create new crisis. By the 1980s, racism had gone to such a low level in the United States. The SPLC was on life support because there weren't any racists to fight. So they had to create these groups. For almost 40 years, the SPLC has likely been the main cause of white extreme extremist groups in the country. You can't have a fully functional chapter of the Ku Klux Klan unless you have some full-time guys that can dedicate their lives to it. Right? Otherwise, you got to go work somewhere. And just going out and interacting with normal people, say working at a Home Depot lumberyard or something like that, they're going to keep your extreme tendencies in check. Would you not agree?

SPEAKER_08 22:40

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 22:41

Now we see in big cities, extreme tendencies keep in check, but human nature sometimes sways from the course. And then the entire city starts to become kind of like over the top. But it's because everybody keeps themselves in check. There's this constant peer pressure thing going on. Yeah. Right. So when you're not able to go out and interact with normal people and have that check and balance on your behavior, and you get siloed into a niche like that, you can just go hog wild. And that's what these guys were doing. They were being paid to sit on the internet and chat rooms and go to these meetings to just gin up all this racism and stuff like that. Unbelievable. On Reddit, there was a, or excuse me, 4chan, there was a pretty interesting post. Now the thing about 4chan is this could be completely made up, or it could be completely legitimate. But based on what we've learned from things like the Whitner kidnapping hosts, based on things we've learned from the level of infiltration into groups like Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, the Ku Klux Klan, the Unite the Right, Patriot Front, all these groups, right? This to me seems like the most plausible thing on the planet. Being a father in the mid-1990s, working for state police, he got assigned to go undercover in a branch of some regional militia. Right. So the local police department's like, hey, there's a militia, go undercover, go infiltrate their group, see what they're up to. All right. About a dozen full members in the group. Fool around in woods for a few months. Finally, hears some guy cooking up a plan to bomb a judge. Half the militia is on board with it. Dad is a bit shocked, as most of them seemed normal enough. A couple guys leave the group. Plot keeps advancing. State police decide they have enough evidence for a case and they plan to arrest everyone at the meeting after the next. Dad is at the meeting one week before the state police had scheduled a raid on the group. Suddenly, the doors get kicked in. Everybody gets arrested. State police are confused as bleep. Dad later finds out. Dad, the undercover state police informant, later finds out that the guy who started the plot was ATF. The club president was FBI. Two sheriff's deputies were in the rank and file, and the U.S. Marshals were involved. The whole militia branch was founded by an FBI honeypot. Bad space when the thing gets buried out of embarrassment. It's got a picture of the guy. He's like, you have all these different entities going after the state militia group that is an ATF plot. And as the ATF and the FBI guys are raising this group, who shows up? The people that are assigned to go fight it, like the actual cops of different divisions. And then when the thing gets raided, they're all looking around pulling out their badges, saying they're undercover. And everybody's like, but you wanted to bomb a judge. Well, I'm seeing if you wanted to go along with it. Well, I work for the sheriff's department. I was I was writing reports on you, and everybody's under anybody not have a badge. Does anybody not have a badge? Come over here. This is the Brian Cole Jr. story. You know what I mean? It's just insanity. Doug Wyatt says the SPLC is the progenitor of white hate groups. It's how they raised money. Yes, exactly. It is. It's it's absolutely horrible. You know, relating this scenario because I think we're gonna find out groups like ACLU are the ones out there doing businesses to take out their ADA ramps. You know what I mean? Like you're gonna find out that so many that these so many of these massive non-profit green pieces fully invested in gas and coal. That's how they make the money to be able to go out. They've got to have an upside on the industry that's going to win in the end, right? And so they put all their money into gas and coal. They probably own a coal mine somewhere. Oh my gosh. These it's just yeah, for radio. Keystone cops. Now, as a January 6th defendant, I totally get this, right? Like, I know what I did that day, but when I think about the things that I was associated with, I didn't have anything to do with breaking windows. I didn't have anything to do with some, you know, malicious attack on police officers or anything like that. And thank goodness Donald Trump understands this.

SPEAKER_27 27:17

Court ruled against it. Yeah. But but just so you understand, these are people that have been decimated. These are people that lost their lives over nonsense. Where the FBI said, go in, go in, police, go in, go into the and they were supposed to serve five years, ten years in jail. People committed suicide. People were treated as never been anything like this. What happened to those people? And these were many great people. And I gave them pardons. I'm very proud to have given them pardons. And I think they should be a reimbursed for a crooked government. The government was crooked. This was the Biden group, and it's not Biden. Biden was too gone. Biden was a stupid court, ruled against it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 27:58

So Trump still supports some type of compensation or really restitution to the January 6th defendants. Because likely we got wrapped up in, you know, we know the FBI did a tabletop exercise. We've got the Zoom meetings with government workers that are that were planning on J6. It got snuck into the the uh CARES Act and it was funded in the summer of 2020. I mean, the whole thing is just a ginormous entrapment.

SPEAKER_07 28:24

In court, you would call a lot of what they did pre-meditation. I mean, what do you do with that?

SPEAKER_05 28:29

Who built the gallows? Right. Who built the gallows and why did they walk over to the FBI building for a cup of coffee?

SPEAKER_07 28:36

Who built the gallows? We could talk about pipe bombs for an hour.

SPEAKER_05 28:39

Dude, the whole thing, this SBLC saga opens the door and gives us a window into how the world is really operating.

SPEAKER_07 28:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 28:48

Okay. How the world really operates. I honestly got this real sense as I read through the entire indictment. And I got this real sense. You should not be involved with any groups that are not legitimate. You should be involved with the Republican Party, or if you're so persuaded, the Democrat Party, go make a change over there. You should not be involved in these side groups, these patriot groups, these assemblies, different militias. These side groups are nothing but trouble. They keep you away from the real center of power, so you can't actually affect any change aside from raising your pitchforks.

SPEAKER_07 29:23

They sound good because they're all pro 2A.

SPEAKER_05 29:26

Yeah, but listen, go join a bowling club that has nothing to do with politics or you know attacking power. If you want to go adjust power and make a change, go get involved in one of the political parties that's established. And don't be involved in any of this nonsense. If anybody has a plot to take out a judge or do anything other than fight him at the ballot box, walk away, blow the whistle. Don't be a snitch. I still don't know if you should be a snitch or not. Right. But either way, like be legitimate in what you're doing because this kind of stuff, this is this is scary. The guy that you think is great, the guy that's you know, completely got all the marketing materials and all the books to loan you to read and all the different things, he might be a stooge. He might be a plant, might not be directly by the government. But you got to remember, too, the SPLC was embedded with the FBI. They were telling the FBI who to target and whatnot.

SPEAKER_07 30:21

Just assume that they're all informants and you'll be on the right side.

SPEAKER_05 30:25

He played the clip of Adam Schiff and the whole like four or five other people being like, the SPLC informs us on where all this white supremacy is and the SPLC, the SPLC, they provide critical services to law enforcement. The SPLC turns out, turns out we've been chasing cross burners for 40 years. This resurgence of racism in America, and it turns out the guys feeding the leads were the ones buying the crosses to be burned, and the hoods, and the caps. I mean, it's just out of this world. It's difficult for us to comprehend the level of corruption, depravity, lack of care for public good that these groups and the government have perpetuated on us forever.

SPEAKER_07 31:13

Yeah, growing up, I kind of thought racism had been, you know, tackled and dealt with, and it was over. And then I remember when I was a teenager, movies started coming out, and this was in the 80s. I remember one movie came out that was a little bit disturbing, and that was um Do you remember Mississippi Burning? Oh, okay. Great movie. Gene Hackman, um, a lot of other good characters. Um, but it was about racism in the south, and and when you said cross burning, it was like it reminded me of the movie because that's what it was all about. It was all about KKK and these crosses that were getting burned in people's yards, and it was you know, a lot of mayhem and destruction and a lot of racism, like in your face, racism. And SPLC were executive producers on the I just remember as a kid watching that uh part of that movie going, Wow, are there really people like this in the world? I mean, I I've heard of the KKK, but I've never seen anything like this. This is crazy. People are evil, and there you go.

SPEAKER_05 32:22

People are evil, dude. I mean, some people are evil.

SPEAKER_07 32:27

Well, you gotta see the movie, dude.

SPEAKER_05 32:31

That's crazy. That just it's just so funny to me because it's like I've lived this surreal half decade now where I've the mask has come off for me. Like when we started this podcast, it was like the shelf had broken. You know, you have you have doubts, you have questions about things, and you put them on a shelf behind it. Oh, I can't quite resolve this, I'll put it on the shelf. 9-11, can't quite resolve it, put it on the shelf. Moon landing, can't resolve it, put it on the shelf. MK Ultra, can't resolve it, put it on the shelf. Uh Fast and Furious, can't resolve it, put it on the shelf. Uh IRS targeting, can't resolve it, put it on the shelf. It just goes on the shelf, on the shelf, on the shelf. And then one day you're like, they stole our elections.

SPEAKER_07 33:07

Well, that's what I'm saying. I'm saying that this is another example of this movie that came out where I was like, what is going on with this movie? And it's one of those things that I would say I put on the shelf. But now, looking back, I'm going, Oh, well, this makes sense.

SPEAKER_05 33:22

But it also made you think there's e go, there are evil people burning crosses.

SPEAKER_07 33:26

Yes, it did.

SPEAKER_05 33:27

But now just donate to the SPLC because I was emotionally moved. Dude, we're gonna find out that those commercials with whatever that music singer is that's like, look at the dogs, they're so sad. The dogs, look at these dogs. There's homeless dogs every day. They're the ones out there throwing them on the streets and breeding bills. You know what I mean? We're gonna find out PETA is the one that's actually torturing the animals right before they film them for the commercials. Like, this is gonna get insane, you guys. Every nonprofit like that should be scrutinized. You know what I mean? I mean, it's it's it's quite this is how insane this is. So, my wife associated with the nonprofit left behind and without, right, who helps children of incarcerated parents. The insanity of this would be for her going through neighborhoods, finding out families that have a lot of kids, you know. Oh, look, there's a dad and a mom, and they've got six kids. Okay, let's do this. Let's get the drug dad addicted on drugs, let's get him arrested, let's give him drugs, let's give him a list of people to sell it to. Let's then turn them in because you know, the SPLC is going to tell the, oh, we've we've been not left behind and without, you know, we we want to stop the scourge of drugs for the youth. You know, we don't want to repeat this. Meanwhile, we're selling drugs to the dad of the family. He gets incarcerated, and then we go to the kids and we're like, hey, let's offer you services, and then we use their little stories to go raise money. That's how insane this is. You entrap the dad into criminal activity so that we could use the story of this large family to go out and raise donations. That's that's the insanity of this. You create the problem in order to raise money and have for a business model, the NGO industrial complex, the military industrial complex. Well, since we make so much money building all these missiles and tanks and planes, we better use them somewhere. This is the financial industrial complex. Hey, we earn interest when we get people's money and people's securities and people's loans, stuff. So let's create situations to get as much as much of it as we can.

SPEAKER_07 35:27

You can apply this directly to Hollywood as well. Uh, think about think about this Mississippi Burning movie and all the other racist movies you've ever seen. What if they didn't exist?

SPEAKER_05 35:39

You're watching Old Yeller.

SPEAKER_07 35:42

I know, but I mean you can have these stories out there just because they're great stories, but what if you just take them out of the zeitgeist because they're there just for propaganda? I mean, does that change racism in America? Dude.

SPEAKER_05 35:57

I grew up thinking racism was dead. I did too. And all of a sudden I'm like, well, my kids don't know any racists, but you know, there must be a bunch of Uncle Jims out there that are just horrible people. Yeah. You know, it's like it doesn't now that we see this, it's like if you do have someone that you know that is affiliated with one of these militias or extremist groups, were they programmed?

SPEAKER_07 36:21

Right. Were they programmed into it?

unknown 36:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 36:25

You know, penguin publishing isn't real big on on uh publishing KKK books. So, you know, someone's got to have an in, hey, go publish that book. We've got a guy distributing them. So law and order on our cities is extremely important.

Federal Grants And The Control Incentive

SPEAKER_05 36:40

Yes, and one of the challenges we've had, we've already touched on this. You've got the 702, they use that tool to spy on Americans to quote keep us safe. And so the government at large, right, the government as an entity wants to now come into our cities and help out. Okay, well, I trust Trump, okay, and I trust his administration generally, but any tool we give government, what does Robert Kennedy Jr. tell us? You can never get back, right? And they will convert your rights into privileges. And they have an awesome amount of power. They've got you know the IRS that can track the money, you've got, you know, uh marshals that have incredible tools, the FBI can spy, infiltrate, do all these incredible things. So I think it would be a really great idea if our American cities just totally got on board with this and just invited the federal government to come into local governance and start knocking some heads around.

SPEAKER_04 37:37

President Trump promised the American people that this administration will restore law and order, back the blue, and make America safe again. We have already seen incredible success in Washington, D.C. and Memphis, Tennessee. And now the Department of Justice is excited to announce the next step in that commitment: the Model Cities Initiative. Through the one big, beautiful bill, the DOJ will be surging $300 million in grant funds to support cities who are serious about reducing violent crime, restoring public order, and modernizing their public safety infrastructure. This money will be awarded to two to four cities with a population of 100,000 or more who hope to make their cities safer and more secure. The strongest applications will not come from one office or one representative acting alone. They will come from jurisdictions that offer true partnership, where the mayor, the prosecutors, the sheriff, police leadership, and other key officials are aligned behind one public safety plan. We want to see a whole of government approach and commitment, one application, one strategy, and a clear explanation of how these dollars will be used to improve law and order. President Trump, this Department of Justice, and this initiative is focused on results. Apply now at www.justice.gov forward slash grants.

SPEAKER_05 39:10

And I think we should start a foundation to fight domestic terrorism coming from the left. So we have the anti-Antifa Law Center. Okay. So send your donations now to that. And then also, if you're interested in Antifa, we have a rally going on.

SPEAKER_07 39:32

I think we would need a better acronym. We need one that really flashy.

SPEAKER_05 39:36

Oh my gosh. I don't know what to think of this, right? I remember when I went to on the Quite Frankly podcast. Shout out to Frank.

SPEAKER_07 39:45

Isn't this a like a campaign against uh sanctuary places?

SPEAKER_05 39:50

This is a yeah, it's can't it's just law and order, right? It's two percent of the population commits 90% of the crimes, and there's a lot of crimes that happen. Like, you know, a great candidate for this would be Topeka, Kansas, right? Like Topeka, Kansas has like one of the highest homicide rates in the country compared to population, and they have an incredible amount of drug like Topeka, Kansas would be great for this.

SPEAKER_07 40:11

I bet they could come up with a plan and they would work together and they could probably implement it too.

SPEAKER_05 40:15

The scary thing for me is okay, so maybe we trust the Trump administration to go after the bad guys. But what happens when you get all the bad guys? You've created a flow of money, right?

SPEAKER_07 40:25

And then you gotta keep it going. So you gotta make more bad guys. Yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_05 40:30

And this is what Peter Ticton revealed to us. He said, you know, they went after all these groups, like the war on drugs, they went after the the war on drugs, and it was a pretty easy cleanup. Like it's not that hard to find a drug dealer, you know what I mean? And then then they were like, Well, but we have all this money, so then the CIA gets involved in trafficking some of those drugs to keep the money going, and it's just like it come it becomes this an industrial complex. You know, you've got to create the demand for the thing. And the problem with government is they're not responding to market forces, their market indicators are different. If there's problems on the street, you can get votes. How do you get those votes? Create the problems on the streets, motivate the population. I mean, this is like classic brown shirts being utilized by the Nazis and then later get lined up and shot. So the SPLC for years was doing the bidding of the FBI to create law enforcement initiatives by creating this stuff, and it was all done. I'm dude, there is zero chance in my mind, after reading that indictment, that Joe Biden wasn't in on this big plan. At some high-level thing, he's like, Well, yeah, let's get in bed with the SPLC. They'll make sure there's some racists out there to support Trump. Yeah. You know, they'll make sure some white supremacist gets a Trump tattoo and we can focus on it. They'll make sure, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's just becomes insanity. And the thing is, is all this is because of a breakdown of communication. We get siloed into our little niches, right? You get siloed into an online algorithm where you become more and more extreme. And next thing you know, you're in a chat room with some guy that wants to bomb a judge or kidnap the governor of Michigan, and you're like, oh, uh, I thought this was a drinking club. I thought we had bowling night on Thursday, right? You you get into the spot where you're not communicating to get the truth, and the communication that is being pushed to you might be targeted at you. It might be to warp your mind and give you a mind virus. I think the reason, Ron, we're not getting any new ads is because our listeners have heard them all. Oh probably why?

SPEAKER_07 42:25

Maybe.

SPEAKER_05 42:26

So, yeah, if we could just get some more listeners, then we could maybe get some new ads. They're like, none of you guys buy 1775 coffee, so we're just not we're not gonna pay for you for that 10 cents for that ad anymore. We've already dumped like seven dollars on 1775 coffee with no click through. Rug them out. Yeah, we're done. No click-throughs. Okay, so that here's this as well. This was Marco Rubio explaining just what I explained. The goal of every totalitarian regime, and it doesn't matter if it comes from the left or the right, is to limit communication. Communicate with one another.

SPEAKER_01 42:58

One of the things you will find pretty consistently in every totalitarian system is they want to control the ability of their citizens to communicate with one another. It's why Russia has started its own internet and it and its own internal uh uh systems. It's why China does not allow American social media platforms to operate. They have to control the it's the reason why Iran shut down the internet as one of the first things they did when hostilities began, because they don't want their people communicating with one another. So I do agree it's a valuable tool in our toolbox. And uh in my other role and capacity, it's one that I've given emphasis to, and hopefully we'll have something to bring you that both complies with the court order and I think furthers our national interests.

SPEAKER_05 43:36

What's interesting, the only criticism I can offer to Marco Rubio is he was given one of those awards by one of these nonprofits that focuses on censorship. Okay. He was like pro censorship. But, you know, I mean, I don't know. Sometimes being in a certain position changes people. Maybe he's seen the ills of communism, not just from his family history with Cuba, but in addition, as a Secretary of State, he sees how. Different governments operate, and you know, he can say something like that, but it's true, it's true, and not only do the communists and totalitarian regime want to control communication, they also want to control the money, they kind of go hand in hand, right? Because the market, the money is the truth, like money goes where there's value being offered, and so when you can control the money and you can print money, especially, you can put it in places that wouldn't otherwise get it, right? Communists, Trump says on Truth Social, always do well with the voters, or as they would say, the people. Well, why would that be? Well, they create law and order problems so then they can campaign on being against law and order. They can they create the problems so they can campaign against them. They always do well in the early years, but in the end, the country, state, or city goes to hell. Great violence proceeds at levels never seen before, and the entity dissolves into poverty, squander, squalor, and crime. Remember, breathtaking popularity first, and then guaranteed death and destruction, President Donald J. Trump.

SPEAKER_14 45:03

Yep.

SPEAKER_05 45:04

The authoritarians by limiting communication, the authoritarians by running Pravda-like campaign and marketing ads, the authoritarians by controlling Hollywood and the media that you consume.

SPEAKER_07 45:17

They're market makers.

SPEAKER_05 45:18

They create the plausible believability that these communists are popular. When a communist gets up and says, I'm gonna fix problem XYZ, and you can observe the problem, but are unaware that they themselves cause the problem, it's really easy to get on board with that train and go run for it. You know, that that just is a pattern that happens over and over and over again. So I talked about the shelf, right? All these things you put up on the shelf, the government's bad, the government's bad. But my civics class in middle school just made me think that the United States of America was the greatest country on earth. And I do believe that, right? Yeah, right? I mean, how how can you, as a good patriotic American, say that America is not the greatest nation on earth when you look at the results of what our nation has done? Yeah, but it's the program too. But at the same time, it's an enemy to evil, it's an enemy to those who want to control and build a utopia that is in their image, not in the organic image of the people. Does that make sense? And so you get to the situation for me, right? The shelf breaking. Obviously, COVID was a huge part of that in 2020, but by the time the 2020 election rolled around, it was super obvious that they were stealing that election.

California Election Delays And Mail Ballots

SPEAKER_05 46:35

And there was nothing good gonna come from Joe Biden. Nothing. I mean, his campaign policies were ridiculous. Camp came from a basement. The whole thing was just absolutely manufactured. And so for those of us who stood up and took action, right, and then paid the consequences of it, it's so refreshing to hear Donald Trump say things like this. And again, now that these this time has passed, the research has been done, the audits have been completed, the machines have been discovered, the balance have been counted, Nicholas Maduro was incarcerated. Now we know the truth.

SPEAKER_27 47:07

There's a lot of problems inside. Look, we had a rigged election. We can't have a rigged election. We can be nice about it, we can be politically correct. Oh, I don't want to say. I used to say that a year and a half ago, the election was rigged, and the cameras would literally turn off. Yeah, and the anchor would say, Sir, you're not allowed to say that, you know. Now nobody ever turns off the camera because it's been proven to be rigged. Look at what happened in Georgia, look at all the stuff that we found out. It's it was a rigged election. He got Biden lost in a landslide. And it's you know, to think that this could happen. Now, because of that, we have Russia, Ukraine. That would have never happened with me. Because of that, we had open border with 25 million, in many cases, criminal, not all. And sentinel deaths. Everything. Yeah. He was the worst president. And we were left at all over the world as a country. We're not left at anymore. We are the hottest country anywhere in the world.

SPEAKER_12 48:06

So someone has to be punished for that. So how do you do that?

SPEAKER_27 48:11

Well, I think I'd rather not get into it, but I don't want to talk about it. Let's see what happens. The election was rigged. We know who rigged the election. We know what we know everything, man. You know, we have information that nobody thought was possible, but when you get to office, all of a sudden people start giving you things. You know, it was a great I'll tell you 2024 was a great election. That was a lot, there's a lot of rigging going on there, too. Because you know what, I wanted a landslide, but there were areas that were just rigged. I could see it. In other words, rigged against me. Yeah, of course.

SPEAKER_05 48:49

By him saying, I don't want to talk about it. What he's referring to is the case.

SPEAKER_07 48:54

Yep.

SPEAKER_05 48:55

They're getting close. He's been talking about it for five years. And all of a sudden, you're we're gonna we gotta do something about it. This is treason. All of a sudden, I don't want to talk about it.

SPEAKER_07 49:04

Yep.

SPEAKER_05 49:04

We're getting close. We've got some we've got some machines, we've got Nicholas Maduro, he's singing like a canary, snitch.

SPEAKER_07 49:13

It's a great, it's a great amount of hopium. I'll take it.

SPEAKER_05 49:16

It's a great amount of hopium, but the clock is ticking, and an election is currently going on. Donald Trump also posted this in reference to California. There's a big cheating by the Democrats in California. Votes are all tied up, may not be in for weeks under investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles. Why the vote counting delay?

SPEAKER_21 49:40

Democrat Javier Becerra is in second place of nearly 26%, and fellow Democrat Tom Steyer is in third place with roughly 20%. But millions of votes still need to be counted, which of course could change the results. And part of the delay is because so many people in California vote by mail, and those ballots, of course, take longer to receive, verify, and count. Hilton is frustrated.

SPEAKER_16 50:05

It's just unbelievable. And of course, that that's why so many people don't believe the results. But it just undermines confidence. There's no excuse for it. Except this is the kind of thing I think you get with 16 years of one-party rule, this corrupt Democrat machine in power for so long. They just lose touch with reality. They don't realize how ridiculous this all seems to normal people.

SPEAKER_21 50:28

So the uncounted ballots could lean democratic, but Hilton thinks he'll maintain his lead because people are hungry for change.

SPEAKER_16 50:36

Honestly, it's the conservative populism that you've been an advocate for for so long. Um, focus on working class, the work the multiracial working class coalition. President Trump put together those practical economic issues, cut your taxes.

SPEAKER_21 50:52

Meantime, Republican Spencer Pratt is clinging on to second place in the race for LA mayor with a little more than 60% of the votes counted. Pratt is sending this message to incumbent mayor Karen Bass, who's already advanced to the November runoff.

SPEAKER_02 51:08

Obviously, God wanted five more months of me exposing all the failures of our mayor. So it's gonna be a fun ride. I hope she's ready. People just want the truth. They don't want to get lied to, they want to know somebody's heart, and all I do is to speak from the heart.

SPEAKER_21 51:29

The top two finishers in both races will face off in November, regardless of party. Lawrence Ainsley and Brian.

SPEAKER_05 51:36

So California is one of the shining examples of voter fraud. And here's the thing I'm gonna play the Steve Hilton interview with Laura Ingram now, which you just heard a couple clips from. Notice the thing that Fox News didn't cover in their montage. Okay.

SPEAKER_16 51:50

Um, it's insane. Uh, this this election system that they've created here is just another monument to their uselessness, another version of high-speed rail. Um, and just to really underline the point that you made about the corruption, I remember last time around, last elections we had here, um, I was I had a whistleblower that contacted me from a post office describing that there they had different buckets they were supposed to put the ballots in after they'd come in after election day, and they were explicitly told that it didn't just that it didn't just have to be a postmark that was on or before election day that qualified. If the date was handwritten, that would be okay as well. And you just think, what? It's just unbelievable. And of course, that that's why so many people don't believe the results. But it just undermines confidence. So I completely agree with you. There is a case um out of Mississippi that I think might help with this that's uh before the Supreme Court. Um, but oh the whole thing is insane. I mean, the fact that you're sending out mail ballots to every single person on a voting roll that is wildly inaccurate, um, even though it's being cleaned up because uh the Trump Justice Department thankfully is is is is bringing lawsuits against California to clean up the voter else. There's still a long way to go there. The whole thing is a joke, just like pretty much everything else they try and do here.

SPEAKER_05 53:14

Yeah. So the United States Postal Service isn't on it. We've heard this before. He had the band, the semi-truck trailer of ballots that went missing from New York to Pennsylvania the night of the election in 2020.

unknown 53:28

Poof.

SPEAKER_05 53:29

Right? Poof. Hey, I'm missing my tractor trailer. Oh, uh, don't worry about that. Okay, I am I gonna lose my job. No, depends on how much noise you make. You know what I mean? And then we also had our own personal whistleblower in 2020. One of the listeners of the show worked for the postal department service in Kansas, and he took he told us explicitly, explicitly, that the rural mail carriers are sorting the election ballots out of their mail to make sure it gets delivered late and not counted. And he knew that for a fact. The Postal Service needs to be reined in on this, they shouldn't be touching these ballots. And if they do, there has to be such a tight procedure, the little Scantron QR codes or whatever on the envelopes. There's got to be something to tighten that up because that is a government nexus of corruption, right? They are not fair brokers in this.

SPEAKER_07 54:26

You know, I used to work at a place called UPS, and UPS has tracking, you know, and you can watch your package go across the country. I don't know where they can't do that for these ballots. I mean, it's an easy scan.

SPEAKER_05 54:39

Why are they being mailed at all? I don't know. Right. I mean, I get it. There it's there. You gotta play the game that's being played in Washington.

SPEAKER_07 54:47

I guess what I'm saying is every single one of these cases for you know, mail-in or not mailing or whatever, however you want to do it, there's always a way you could do it. But we can always we always seem to be able to just leave all these doors open for all kinds of fraud. On purpose, it seems like.

SPEAKER_05 55:09

Sorry if you feel like you're getting gas lit. If your objective is to solve problems, you'd see a problem and solve it. Their objective is to leave the loopholes, clearly. Clearly, how many election cycles do we have to go through like this? Right. Right? So here's the thing millions of ballots are still outstanding. We have no idea what the voter turnout's gonna be. These ballots can keep coming in for weeks and weeks and weeks in California. We'll go to the runoff.

SPEAKER_15 55:32

We believe very comfortably, based on the Associated Press reporting from the votes all uh overnight that she now currently leads in that mayor's race. So, really, the uh second place finisher will advance, and that's either Pratt or that's Ramen. But Pratt right now is sitting in a very good and comfortable position. So, how do they vote in Los Angeles? Massive, sprawling town. Here are the neighborhoods, Pacific Palisades hit by the fires, Westwood, that's where UCLA is, Hollywood, and of course, downtown LA. To show you a bit of a comparison, we went back to the uh the results in Los Angeles from four years ago. This is not the primary now, this is the mayor's race and how it ended up. Karen Bass was the winner over Rick Caruso. Caruso was a Republican, then an independent. He ran as a Democrat. But this is where Caruso did best. Pacific Palisades, okay, in the neighborhoods to the north. Karen Bass did best in downtown LA, Hollywood, and East LA. And we'll see eventually once we get to November, if indeed those voting patterns follow. Now, with that as a setup, John Ashbrook, co-host of the Ruthless Podcast, is with millions of ballots yet to come in.

SPEAKER_05 56:45

Millions of ballots yet to come in. So it sounds like Spencer Pratt hasn't comfortable enough of a lead that he'll probably maintain. Steve Hilton's could be stolen from him. Could be stolen from him. So hopefully Trump is correct that the LA attorneys are looking at this and they're watching it. Hopefully, the machines have got a little size of freeze on them. And hopefully there will be some accountability to these voter rolls now that you've got someone who has been arrested and flipped, that they're going to be like, Yeah, the ballot's coming out of this address. We need to follow up and make sure somebody voted those ballots, and it wasn't one guy signing all of them. So that'll be really interesting. Interesting.

SPEAKER_07 57:22

Well, we also have five more months to find more problems with Karen Bass and with Yeah. So, anyways.

SPEAKER_05 57:30

So, like Donald Trump said, first comes the popularity, and then comes the destruction, and then comes the ugly. There is a there is a store down in Tacoma that has decided to relocate.

When Businesses Leave Cities Spiral

SPEAKER_05 57:44

This is Delta Camshaft in Tacoma. They're the largest custom camshaft regrinding company in America, is moving after 48 years in Washington. The owner, John Bodwell, told me, this is to Ari Hoffman, I've decided I can no longer compete with the political doom that's coming through town. The building is currently active on the market as I by sites on Mesa, Arizona. Crime, graffiti, taxes, and fees got me on the run. Well over one million camshafts to hand pack into boxes for the move, then unload at the new facility, and four machines that weigh around seven tons each. The move alone will cost well over a hundred thousand. Sadly, worth every penny. So the follow-up on this story was too little, too late. Weeks after the news went viral, the Delta camshaft was leaving Tacoma, Washington. That was posted on May 12th because of crime, taxes, and onerous regulations. The city finally removed a $250 graffiti fine and sent a cleaning crew to clean up the graffiti on his building. So that was the straw that broke the camel's back. He didn't put the graffiti on the building. Their lack of law and order and policies and enforcement put the graffiti on the building.

SPEAKER_07 58:50

And then they find him.

SPEAKER_05 58:51

And then they find him.

SPEAKER_07 58:52

And he said, screw at first.

SPEAKER_05 58:55

And then the city backed off. Well, well, now that you're leaving, we'll come clean up the graffiti and get rid of the fine.

SPEAKER_07 59:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 59:01

As if it ever needed to be there in the first place. However, the building is already for sale, and other cities have been courting the business. So he's heading to Mesa. Pretty phenomenal. Now, a little bit north of Tacoma in Washington or in Seattle, you've got Mayor Katie Wilson. She

Seattle Homelessness Housing And Tax Traps

SPEAKER_05 59:16

has sat down with an interview. Because do you remember how Spencer Pratt said, when I become mayor, all the homeless people are going to go to Seattle, or the mayor up there will welcome them with open arms? So Katie Wilson isn't saying that he shouldn't do that. He is saying, well, you look at homelessness, there's a correlation between homelessness and home prices.

SPEAKER_18 59:43

He said, quote, these people, when I unplug them and say we're not taking them our tax money anymore, they're all going to Seattle, where the mayor will welcome them. What is your response to Spencer Pratt, who, by the way, is uh looking like he's going to be in the runoff for LA mayor? Yeah, golly, was that a cheer? Yeah. What's your response to Spencer Pratt? I mean, you know, about the drug addiction. What do you do have a response? Because he specifically brought you up. I think it's only fair that maybe you want to respond to that. Well, I'm not going to respond to him, but I'll respond to you all.

SPEAKER_19 1:00:18

Um, so you know, I think it's very clear when we look at the data, um, when we look at different cities around the country and uh kind of compare the scale of our homelessness issues. Um, what is driving homelessness is housing costs. There is a very, very clear correlation between housing costs and um and homelessness. And that does not mean that drugs are not a factor. They absolutely are a factor, right? Um, and especially people who've been homeless for a while, right, and struggling with substance use disorder, helping someone out of homeless is not as simple as putting a roof over their head. And that is why, as we're doing our shelter acceleration, we are being incredibly intentional about um pairing shelter with uh services, with case management, with drug treatment, with uh you know, behavioral health services, with all of the support that someone might need to get onto a better path. Um, but um, it is very clear again that uh housing costs are what are driving the homelessness crisis. And uh drugs make everything worse. And you know, if you uh fall into homelessness, very often people become addicted to drugs once they become homeless. There are a lot of reasons for that. Um, or if they have you know a light substance use disorder, that becomes a severe substance use disorder. So drugs are very entangled with the homelessness crisis, but the real driver is housing costs.

SPEAKER_18 1:01:42

Let me ask you this though, because he does bring up a point worth debating at this point in the game because we're hearing from people in the front lines about this issue. It says, is Seattle too lenient on giving people who are addicted to drugs housing first with no requirement of drug treatment and rehabilitation? Why is that not something that is combined together?

SPEAKER_19 1:02:05

Um, so I'll say that you know, people come into homelessness from all kinds of different directions. And people who are struggling with uh substance use disorder, drug addiction, right? Like everyone has their individual situation, and what works for one person doesn't always work for another. Um, and that is part of why it's really important that we have a variety of shelter options and that we have a variety of you know, service models. And again, what works one person doesn't service models sounds like a business plan.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:32

Anybody want a mayor? We'll trade.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:34

Sounds like a business plan. Business models. We got service models or different different ways to serve the customers.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:42

Oh my gosh, she is such a train wreck. She doesn't even sound like she's she's a rambler, she's rambles.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:48

Of course, there's a correlation between housing prices and homelessness.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:52

Sure, but that is not the cause. That is a lie. What's the cause of housing prices? What's the cause of housing prices? Can you imagine a guy on the street? You know, oh, I'm just trying to get my fix, and he's well, hey man, why are you here? Oh man, my loan-to-value ratio is just too much. Uh yeah, okay.

unknown 1:03:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:15

Of course there's a there's a connection, okay? As housing prices go up, why do they go up? Usually because of business regulations, usually because you have a strong economy that then allows the business regulations to be applied. Then there's a breaking point. Some big business leaves, causes layoffs, then there's depression that sets in, and this leads to drug addiction, alcoholism, because now a working person has spare time and and loss of purpose and meaning, right? Which then leads to them losing their house, which then leads to them being on the street with a drug addiction, and it just is a cascade effect. But what is it caused by? It's caused by manipulating the market one way or the other. Yeah, like it doesn't it's every freaking time. Imagine working at the camshaft's shop and you're like, the graffiti broke me. What do you mean? You didn't own the business, no, but the business owner left. So now I don't have a job. So now I don't have something to do eight hours a day. So I'm gonna start drinking at noon. And next thing you know, the alcohol's not enough. You add something else. And guess what? You're falling behind on mortgage payments because you lost your job. Oh, and by the way, did I mention that the camshaft company that you worked at wasn't the only company that left the area?

SPEAKER_07 1:04:33

Right. So there's no other jobs to go get.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:36

Did I also mention that BlackRock was buying up all the empty houses? And so the housing market isn't responding to the lack of people to buy the houses. You see what I'm saying? So you've got nothing but manipulation of the market. The housing prices keep continuing to go up because they keep inflating the dollar, and there's a built-in buyer with all these corporate companies. There are some areas in our country that 25% of the housing sales went to corporations like BlackRock that own over a hundred homes.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:06

Right. But your taxes that you pay are based off of markets that um that are being manipulated.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:13

Right. And then that leads to homelessness. So the bad regulation or the the good regulation leads to a rise in values, bad regulation leads to those businesses leaving, then they can't support the values, and the market would normally bring the cost of housing back down to adjust to the mean income of the community, but it doesn't because there's a outside buyer that's willing to pay whatever because they're land banking, essentially, trying to beat inflation. And so that keeps the housing prices high, which then ices more and more people out of their houses, which leads to depression and substance abuse, which then leads to homelessness. And then once you have a homeless population, now you have an industrial complex that follows it because now that becomes the new employer of the community.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:56

You know, back to that interview, I was expecting her to say um. When she was asked, what about all the people coming from California? I was expecting her to say, Come on down. I need your votes. We'll take everybody.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:08

I need your votes. Make sure you stop at Pipe Place and register.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:12

Right, because that is the only thing that really would have made sense after you said goodbye to all the millionaires.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:17

Now get out of here, millionaires.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:19

We need more homeless people. And here's the thing as people that are low income, loss of jobs, or homeless, they all become an expense to the city for public services and all the free stuff, right? She's we give housing to the homeless. Oh, I had to I have to work for my house. I I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_08 1:06:40

Sucker.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:41

You know what I mean? Sucker. And you're not going to require me to get off drugs so that I can realize that you're just giving me a tiny house, not just a shoot-up shack.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:48

You got to get on drugs to qualify for the program, bro.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:56

Not just increasing it, doubling it. What? Doubling it. So that she can help working families. Who are these working families? Who are these people that are going to not be affected by sales tax? Nobody. Listen, Jeff Bezos doesn't buy that much more stuff than you do on a given day. A stake is a stake, right? A sell and for him, the sales tax would be inconsequential. But you know who it's really going to hurt? That normal working class family. That when you go out to eat with your family of three and it costs you $45 and you got sales tax on there at almost 10%. And you double it to 20, it's like this starts to be cost prohibitive. Cost prohibitive. 20% of your expenses in Seattle, if she gets her way on the sales tax, will just go to tax 20% of what you spend. And then on top of that, the state's going to get their piece here pretty soon, because you know the Supreme Court's probably going to get rid of the millionaire exemption and it's going to get 9.9% tax on everything, on everybody. And then on top of that, you got your federal rate. Thank you, Trump, for a small tax break. I mean, at a certain point, you do look at your taxes. And if you're a hundred thousand dollar income earner, between sales tax on what you spend after already being taxed on what you earned, you might only be keeping 40% of your income.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:17

Are they almost done with the wall around this place yet? Is it still too late? Can we get out of here?

SPEAKER_05 1:08:22

And by the way, it's not to keep people out, it'll be to keep people in. Yes. Yeah, exactly. Now getting ready for the World Cup, though, because the World Cup's coming to Seattle. Yay. They are like a little teenager that has a dirty room. He starts hiding all of his stuff under the bed and in the closet. They're tucking away the homeless and the RV encampments into weird different places around Seattle. So here's one encampment. There's one, two, three, four, five, six. Do we have a seventh? Do we have a seventh? Uh seven. We have seven RVs and a van parked in an area barely big enough for my old dually truck to turn around in.

unknown 1:09:01

Right?

SPEAKER_05 1:09:01

Just tucked in real nice, but look, they've got barricades up so they don't get rammed. Or maybe to keep them from parking over here. Yeah. A hundred percent chance there's meth labs inside those vans. 100% chance. Those are the working families they want to benefit. Oh man. CNN has had a couple of interesting man-on-the-street interviews. They ran into a Democrat in California.

SPEAKER_20 1:09:27

And Sir Pratt. Yes, sir. Why is that? Uh, I do like his approach for the homelessness. As a person who used to be homeless myself, I was rendered the services that he's talking about. Um, I was able to change my life. Ten years sober with no alcohol and stuff like that. So his approach is really good. Um, I do think it's fair for him to go off uh with the runoff with Karen Bass. This way, both of them can go ahead and prove to me why they deserve my vote. So uh as of today, I'm doing it, yes, because I do like his approach and I do think he deserves a fair chance. Yeah, but come November it could be different.

SPEAKER_15 1:10:01

Okay, it's been really interesting how many people are animated one way or another.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:05

But the very, very, very beginning that you didn't catch, he's a Democrat voter. He's always been a Democrat voter, but he switched over and voted for Pratt. Why? Because even the Democrats are dissatisfied, Ron. We all have to live here. Ram Emanuel, who was uh Barack Obama's chief of staff, and he was also the mayor of Chicago at one point, and at one and has had presidential hopes for a long time.

Rahm Emanuel On Democrats Losing Trust

SPEAKER_05 1:10:26

He's a savvy political operator. He's the one who coined the term that is a rehash of older terms, never let a good crisis go to waste. Okay. Ron Emmanuel sat down with Katie Couric, who's got to be one of the dumbest reporters on the planet. What is happening here? What is going on, Katie? You've been blind to the reality, and all of a sudden, when it smacks you in the face, like do you remember the clip we played where she's like, What the F is going on here?

SPEAKER_07 1:10:53

It's like, dude. I the clip that I always remember with her is what is the Google?

SPEAKER_05 1:10:59

What's the Google? This this is one of those, she's one of the dumb. She's dumb.

SPEAKER_22 1:11:06

I don't know what else to say.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:08

Dumb. Uh maybe it's a shtick. You know, play dumb to draw information out of who you're interviewing. But when she does her little podcast thing, some of those clips, it's like welcome to the party. You know what I mean? Your party's been doing this for a long time. So she sat down and interviewed Rama Manuel. The Democrats deserve exactly what they're getting.

SPEAKER_25 1:11:27

Show Democrats aren't doing that well. We got we got the voters right where we want them.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:32

You know, um why we got the voters right where we want them. That's I'm just saying, there's a tell there.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:39

Why do you think people feel so negatively about the Democratic Party?

SPEAKER_25 1:11:43

Because we earn their disrespect. The hard way. Look, when your back's against the wall, you can't make a mortgage payment. You can't make you can't go to the doctor's visit because you can't afford it, or you're stealing money out of your 401k that you know is for your retirement, but you're doing it to pay your bills today. You expect the Democratic Party to show up. Two things. We told you, oh, things are great. You just don't know it yet. And B, we're running around, closed schools for two years when you didn't have to, and then when we open them, we blow open the bathroom door in the locker room, and we didn't actually worry about the classroom. We earned their anger because they exp when they're holding on to that windowsill with everything they got, they're digging their nails into the concrete on the windowsill or the wood. They want us to help them. And we either told them they were wrong, or B, we got ourselves wrapped around what I call a cultural cul-de-sac and kept going around in circles talking to ourselves. This isn't that hard. Now, I want to be in 2016, I was mayor. I signed a bill a decade ago on bathroom access. Never took my eye off of graduation rates, reading scores, or math scores. I get it. It's a it's acceptance. But we went as a party from acceptance to advocacy. That's not our role. You mean on trans rights? So my my my thing is when you say, well, how did we get here? We worked really hard at it. We did things that were really ridiculous. We let a border get out of control. When it came to public safety, we talked about defunding the police. When it came to uh an ethnic group, we called him Latinx, and nobody else in that group ever identified themselves that way. And then rather than worry about classroom excellence, we were walking worried about bathroom and locker room access. So we they were angry. And look at all the polling that's out there, look at all the focus groups out there. Democrats tell you stop talking about these cultural issues, conveying that these are priority issues when we should be talking about raising the minimum wage, expanding health care uh opportunities and health care and cost control, making sure people have money for the retirement. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:00

That was Barack Obama's chief of staff.

SPEAKER_25 1:14:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:03

Yeah, we earned this. We earned it.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:07

That sounded like a repentance process.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:10

It did. It did. Now, unfortunately, he's out of power, but he still has influence.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:15

Yeah, I do like what he said about the cultural cul-de-sac. That is actually a really good visual, you know, way to look at it. Yeah. You know, going around in circles, talking about bathrooms. Yeah, that's what you were doing.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:27

You know, one of the things I loved about Washington State when I was when I moved here was here, as opposed to Idaho or Utah, where I was at, you could let your freak flag fly.

SPEAKER_08 1:14:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:36

And what I mean by that is you could have pink hair and work at the store. And nobody cared. And nobody cared. You could have a nose ring and nobody thought twice about it. You could, you could, you know, wear a Van Halen t-shirt and nobody cared.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:50

And some of that attitude is born out of the 90s, 80s and 90s when you know grunge was happening and everybody was, you know, we don't give a crap.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:58

I'm not gonna take I'm not gonna take it, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:15:03

Yeah, that wasn't necessarily a Northwest thing, but yeah, the attitude was there.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:07

Yeah, it was, and I liked it, I enjoyed it. It was acceptance, but then that acceptance moved to advocacy, and all of a sudden, if you don't have purple hair, you're a weirdo.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:18

And that's hold on a second, and that's when you and I and everybody was like, We're out, we're out.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:23

I'm not gonna participate in politics anymore. We're gonna get Jesus, will come and fix it.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:28

I'll nominate, I'll second that nomination.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:31

Exactly. We exact you kind of lose hope. They're exactly right. We went from acceptance to advocacy, right? If you want to see talk about acceptance for transgenders and gays, look at the Republican Party, log cabin Republicans, yeah, Scott Besson, yeah, uh, accepted, accepted, not a problem. No freak flag. Yep, totally accepted, right? Another another example, Jessica Watkins, she's of J6er, okay. Transgender, former military, transgender, yep, transgender, not a problem in the J6 pod, by the way, with boobs.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:04

But Rob Emanuel was right. As soon as they started doing advocacy, you lost it.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:09

As soon as you start doing advocacy, you lost it. It'd be nice if current re Democrats who are in power would take a cue from this. You know what's not popular? Anything revolving around defunding the police, especially the police that are doing a pretty important job.

ICE Reality Checks And Prison Stories

SPEAKER_05 1:16:23

I saw an interesting little uh screenshot yesterday. Somebody took a screenshot of the Yakima jail, right? You know, just the Yakima City jail where you know your normal overnight DUIs and domestic abusers go to prison. Uh the it had like a hundred names on the list. I think there were four names that were not Hispanic.

SPEAKER_08 1:16:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:41

Now, Yakima, as you know, is a farming community.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:44

So you can assume a good chunk of those are probably illegal aliens that are there doing whatever labor. Probably. Yes. You know what I mean? And it's like a lot of those guys probably need some ice details and they need to get headed out. Now, Washington State doesn't help with that. So there was another video that came after that, which I didn't pull because it's all in Spanish. But there's another video where two guys got let out of jail, you know, just got let out, and ice had to be in the parking lot and come and grab them in the parking lot. I thought that had to be so mentally devastating for the guys that thought they were getting released for their abuela, and then they come out and there's some guys. But when I was in when I was in prison, when I was in Philadelphia, it sucks when you respawn right there. Yeah. In fact, Doug, Doug Wyatt, if you're still listening, you should you should comment on this. When when I was in Philadelphia, I was with Doug, and you know, we walked a lot. We would walk in, we called it spinning. We would walk on the block just in a circle, just non-stop. We walked miles and miles a day. And in fact, I walked so many while I was in prison inside those hard concrete floors that my feet literally went numb for about a year. Like could not feel my toes at all just because of the shoes and the walking. It wasn't until I was home for about six months that I got feeling back in my toes. I didn't realize how much abuse my feet took because one of the best ways to take up time is to just walk it out. So, anyways, when Doug and I were walking, there was one particular inmate that was in uh Philadelphia with us that was Hispanic. He was pretty white-skinned. Like he could pass as as Caucasian if he wanted to, but he was he was from Mexico. And he was shady, man. Shady. Now, I had a pretty good obser observation of the the block, right? There was the Latinos, the Pisces, as they call them, you had the blacks, and you had a very, very small, I think there were six or seven white guys in this in this block of 140 people. And the white guys, you know, we had we had no gang going on. I mean, it was just like there was a Jewish guy, there was me and Doug, there was uh the guy that was there for espionage that was wipedelly, and you know, it was like we weren't really like there was a guy that was the guy that was there because during COVID he went into DC and repossessed a senator's car because he was behind all students, and then he got targeted. And so he was there. He was literally just a repo man and repossessed a car with a repo order, and it happened to be a sitting senator in DC. And then he they came around and targeted him with a whole bunch of car theft. He really liked his car. And anyways, he had a state charges first and he beat those. He beat 114 listed indictments who beat them, and then the feds picked them up. Do not repossess a senator's car, they will throw the book at you.

SPEAKER_08 1:19:29

Oh man.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:30

So we didn't really have a gang going on because we weren't gang people, okay? But the blacks and the Pisas, very much so. I mean, there was, you know, we were in Philadelphia, a lot of those guys were from Philadelphia, they were they were very much part of a gang, and then a lot of the Hispanics, same thing. And then of course, at least half of the Hispanics there, at least half were illegals, at least. And this particular person was one of those people.

SPEAKER_08 1:19:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:52

And as there was a riot that broke out, and I saw the way that the that guy operated in the riot, and I could tell that he was a shot caller of sorts. He wasn't the shot caller, but somewhere he was a shot caller, he was a leader of a criminal enterprise, so to say.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:08

Was he doing work or was he watching work?

SPEAKER_05 1:20:11

A little bit of both.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:12

Okay, but he was a manipulator. You could tell. This wasn't a guy that was gonna punch you, he was gonna hire someone to shive you. Okay. This was that guy. It was the guy that wasn't gonna do the dirty work himself, usually.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:22

Was he giving orders on the field? Probably, okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:26

Very shifty. And I remember I pointed him out to Doug. I said, he's acting as a lieutenant in here for that guy who's the shot caller. And then here's you have a bruiser who's their puncher, you know, and you kind of had a you could see their their structure.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:38

All right.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:39

And I I remember because one day we were walking around and he was like walking in and out of people's cells, and he was collecting razor blades, okay. Shaving, and then he'd break the razor, get the get the the razor blade, and he was building something with it. Okay. Now, the razor blades get used to cut up drugs and all kinds of stuff. So he could have had some other purpose, but I didn't like the way he was acting. Right. I remember when he was breaking these razors out of the plastic, and then he put the plastic up on this little shelf thing, and he looked at me as we were walking by, and I thought, oh, he is up to no good. Like no good at all. The guy made me super nervous. One day he was standing at the top of the stairs in broad, you could see the whole block, and he was standing under the security camera, because there's only like three or four in the block, right? And he was standing under the security camera smoking a joint. Okay, in broad open view of everybody standing above the guard bubble, the guard shack. There's only one guard in there, and they're they're literally their windows were blacked out, like they had a newspaper up on the windows, so we couldn't see into them, but it gave them just this little like tank turret view of us. And then they would sit in there because my room was right across from them. And so when I'd walk by, I could look through the gaps in the newspaper. And I remember one time I was in there and there was some nonsense going on, like in the open in the pod. And I look in there, and the guard she's looking at a resort website like she's booking a vacation. Okay, and I'm like, we are so screwed, we are so screwed. You can get stabbed nine times before she's gonna look up. So he's standing up there just smoking a joint, right? And I'm just thinking, this is nuts. What's crazy about it is you can smell the drugs, but apparently these guards can't smell anything, you know? So one day, uh ice comes in and this guy gets hauled out. And I go, what's going on? Is that oh, he's being deported. He has an ice detainer. Oh thank goodness. Because he was one of those scary guys. Like, I'm looking at him, I'm like, this is a guy that if he was on the street, he would go, I I wouldn't think anything of him. Right? He doesn't look tough, he's not big and broad, he does not look like a puncher, but he was absolutely one of the most nefarious people, like souls I have ever met. So this is this is uh Representative Thompson, Bernie Thompson, who was one of the ranking members or one of the uh chairmen of the J6 committee. This guy, oh my goodness. I mean, this guy's involved in all kinds of nonsense, right? So he's he's grilling Mark Wayne Mullins, the uh secretary of the Department of Uh DHS, Department of Homeland Security, and he's wanting him to shut down an ICE detention facility. Now, if Bernie took Ram Emanuel's advice and actually wanted to fix the problems that are hurting average, ordinary, everyday Americans, you know, the flood of people in our housing markets that causes housing prices to stay high, the flood of people that shouldn't be here that are taking your jobs, you know, all those things, you'd think that he would be like, yeah, you know, deportation has actually been kind of a Democrat thing because we're socialists and we need to close the borders to control our economy. But for whatever reason, they've got this open border thing, probably because after the Reagan election in 84, when it was a blowout, that they realized they needed to import voters. And that's when it started, right? That's when it started. So here's Bernie Thompson advocating for defunding police, but he does it in a sly way, and thank goodness Mark Wayne Mullins calls him out.

SPEAKER_22 1:24:05

DHS responded by attacking protesters and defending inhumane conditions. Enough is enough. Delaney Hall to be closed.

SPEAKER_14 1:24:16

That's law enforcement. Just say, I want to defund police, I want open borders, and I want illegals running wild in our streets because IS every day is taking the worst of the worst off the streets, or taking those that enter this country illegally off the streets, which is exactly what they were designed to do. And CBP is protecting our ports, our port of entries, and our borders. And yet we want to target them and defund them. That's reckless. Yet we have found over 120,000 kids that were missing underneath the Trump administration when they lost touch of 340,000, which we fear most are now in trafficking rings. I didn't hear anybody complaining about that. What we've done underneath the Trump administration is we went and rescued these kids. What is inhumane about that? Nothing. He's doing the job that the Biden administration turned a blind eye to. That shouldn't ever take place. If anything we can agree on, our kids should be washed over. And I do look forward to answering all the rest.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:30

So he's coming after coming after the center, detention center in these bad conditions. And Mark Wains Mullen did it exactly right. You want to defund the police. Just say it what it is. You want to defund the police, open borders, and you want these people running around our cities. Perfect response. Perfect response. Because that is what they want. Clearly, they need the crisis, the run-on. That has been their campaign goal. But it's starting to not pay off. Do you remember how in California they did that big redistricting thing and they eliminated a couple spots and merged, like they took one Republican district, they merged it in such a way that it became kind of like I didn't say anything earlier, but when we were shown the LA races, they showed the districts, and some of them are a little bit weird around LA. So they redistrict California, and there was one particular seat. I think his name was Kevin Kiley. Kevin Kiley, and he was a Republican. Now he was, you know, in all fairness, he was kind of a rhino Republican, but he actually left the Republican Party to become independent after this redistricting because he felt like he needed to now get the blue vote to win because it was designed to be a blue district. So the majority of his district is now blue, and that's his district. You know what I mean? He's in a spot. So he leaves the Republican Party to run as an independent. You saw that down in LA in the last mayor's race. Guy was a Republican, becomes independent, then becomes Democrat. I doubt the apple fell far from the tree. He just needs the D to win, right? Because the vote D, no matter who, vote blue no matter who, Zeitgeist is really strong in LA and in California. It's strong in Washington, too. It doesn't mean everybody's a Democrat, it just means the zeitgeist is there. The plausible believability that your neighbor is a secret Antifa sympathizer. You know what I mean? It's strong. So, however, there are signs that even this redistricting, which was designed to gerrymander the seat away from the Republicans, was a big, huge backfire.

SPEAKER_24 1:27:24

California's sixth congressional district right now. This is one of the districts that was redrawn because Democrats thought it would be a good pickup opportunity. Kevin Kylie is the incumbent. He's an independent now, but he was a Republican, and he's definitely not a Democrat. And the first two people in this race right now, in the top two advanced, are the Independent and the Republican, not the Democrats, still only 50% counted right now. But how nervous are Democrats here that they might be boxed out of this district they drew as a pickup?

SPEAKER_05 1:27:58

California's. We've got the voters right where we want them. So you're gonna get an independent that's probably gonna caucus with the Republicans. Okay. Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul both did the same thing. I'm an independent. I'm caucusing with these guys. And then the next year they run for that party, and then they switch to independent again back and forth. Snip, snap, snip, snap. How nervous are they? We thought we had that locked up. We gerrymandered that, and now you're gonna have two Republicans on the ticket. Oh, screwy, right? Now, Trump, obviously, this current administration wants to go after fraud. They want to protect our tax dollars. Vice President JD Vance and the Republicans are doing a great job hunting down fraud in the various states, says Donald Trump. Billions of dollars is being found. We've just started. If we found it all, we would literally be able to balance the budget and simultaneously reduce taxes, cutting them even more, which I have already done, which is a record. Amazingly, Democrats are fighting us all the way. This is something I am surprised at because I thought this would be a bipartisan effort. It's looking like they're not in on the act. Hundreds of Democrats don't want to find hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud. This goes down along with men playing in women's sports and the transgender mutilation of our children, male in ballots, no voter identification, and no proof of citizenship in the scale of ridiculousness.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:22

Don't stop the fraud. It makes no sense at all.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:26

Well, it makes perfect sense if all the money's going into their pockets.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:32

The Ku Klux Klan would never burn build the crosses that they're burning. I mean, that's that's that was why that SPLC thing is such a good example. They the Democrat that was their the Democrats considered the SPLC their constituency. That was their ground. The Democrats were funding the racism. They were giving SPLC cover, legitimizing them. Right? All these Katie Wilson just literally said what would she say, uh service options or whatever? Service, you got options. We got a whole thing set up. We have a whole business plan. You know, you need some drug treatment, come over here. You need a free house to use your drugs, come over here. You know, you need a you need a map of allowance park your drug RV, come over here. Like the these people It's a la carte. Now, let's talk about an asymmetrical bet.

Bitcoin Volatility Self Custody And Nodes

SPEAKER_05 1:30:26

Okay. In the history of the world, has a government ever lasted forever?

SPEAKER_07 1:30:31

No.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:32

But what survives the government? Uh well, the people do, I guess. The people and what? Hopefully. There's three things that survive governments coming and going. I don't know. The people. Yeah. When Rome fell, guess what? Yeah. They still had to live there. Right. When Russia fell, there were still some serfs that needed to eat the next day, right? Gold.

SPEAKER_08 1:30:55

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:56

Right. That that changes. I mean, there's there's gold out there that's been minted 95 times. It had Caesar's head on it. Now it's got a U.S. mint mark on it. Same gold, same gold. Yeah. Right. So the money lasts. And what else lasts? Religion. Religion lasts. Those are the three things that last through government, right?

SPEAKER_08 1:31:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:15

So we know that through the history of the world. We've got at least 5,000 years of pretty good recorded history. And that has remained consistent throughout time. So if I'm going to make a long-term bet, Ron, what am I going to bet on? I'm going to bet on the people because the people ultimately fix their problems. They are always the thing that fixes their problems. I'm going to bet on endurable, durable money. I'm not going to bet on a currency. I'm going to bet on the on the basis of that currency, the money. Okay. And I'm going to bet on religion.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:41

Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:42

I'm going to bet on those three things. So right now in America, there's a big course correction going on. Obviously, Trump's coming in here. He's trying to reshape the worldview. He's trying to extend the currency. He's trying to make the dollar stronger. He's trying to fix a lot of problems, increase law and order. But just like any other government, we have to be honest, right? So tools that they're going to use to do that will eventually do their job. And then they'll need to create problems to continue to use those tools because nobody ever wants to give them up. Donald Trump's brilliance in this campaign is he gets rid of regulations. Scott Besson said they've gotten rid of 129 regulations for every one new regulation they propose. So at least he's eliminating some of the stuff to be enforced, right? But just like anything, they made it in the first place, they could make it again. It's a long-term bet. The long-term bet is fake will fall away and the real will stay. Okay. Long-term bet. So Bitcoin has dropped in value over the last week, week and a half, quite a bit. Quite a bit. It could be alarming for some people, especially if you just got annual. But here's the thing: you're making a long-term bet with Bincoin. You're making a long-term bet, and you've got to have a little bit of staying power. Uh Jack Maulers, who's the CEO of Strike, I believe, had a great video that came out yesterday. Now he's been in Bitcoin for a long time. And I'm fortunate enough to know a couple people who have been in Bitcoin for a long time. And they'll tell you, you get rewarded for the volatility, right? If Bitcoin just went up a little bit every single day forever, every bank around the world would already own all of it.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:14

Yep. Right.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:15

But because they like that steady thing. So when something is volatile, that's when you get to make an asymmetric bet. You need to step out, look long term, right? Take a look at it, and then you get rewarded for taking that asymmetric bet because there's volatility. There's bumps and roads along the way. But in the long term, the government is not gonna stay. It's never stayed. Now I'm not saying the United States government is gonna go away in our lifetimes. It's not, but it rebrands itself over and over again. We rebranded in 1776. Guess what? The colonies, Virginia, still around. We rebranded again after the Civil War. We went from the United States of America to the United States is America. And then we rebranded again in the Great Depression, and we became the socialist United States is America. And now we're in another rebranding, right? We're going to be the crypto capital of the world and all these other things. So you get a chance to make an asymmetric bet. And Jack Ballers addresses this that Bitcoin offers that asymmetric bet because in the end, you know who's gonna win.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:31

Everybody wants to stay humble and stack sats until it's time to stay humble and stack sats. If Bitcoin was going up 1% a day, every day, guys, you wouldn't have an opportunity to have an asymmetric bet on the future of humanity. Bitcoin would already be a million dollars if everyone had figured it out. The whole point is there's some pain to be endured. You're being compensated for the pain. I had a conversation with my dad, and he said, you know, it's so offensive that people say people that got in early to Bitcoin just got lucky. You know how hard it was before we got regulatory clarity, before any institutions adopted it. Do you know what it was like to adopt Bitcoin before Coinbase existed? You have any idea? You get paid to show up now. But you sit on Twitter all day, you say, Oh, I'm a dip buyer, I'm a stay humble and sat stacker. Well, Bitcoin's down 4% today. It's a bear market. Buy the dip. Come on. We are the stewards of the future. I believe that wholeheartedly. We're living through the greatest wealth transfer in human history, and we are the receivers of that wealth. It doesn't matter how much Bitcoin you have, you're on the right side of history, the receiving end of the wealth transfer. Because guess what? The thing's either going to zero or it's going to the fing moon. All right? Decide which one you think and get to work. Wake up, lower your time preference, lift some weights, eat some steaks, stack some sats.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:10

I love that. Stacking sats. Stacking sats. You get rewarded for the pain. It's the most asymmetric bet in human history. Because when it comes to money now, you get to bet on something real, and it can't be taken from you if you do it right. A lot of the reason that Bitcoin has dropped is because of the situation that's been created in Iran. They have been using Bitcoin. And guess what? They're selling Bitcoin right now to survive. So that's where a lot of this Bitcoin is coming from. They're one of the large Iran, as a country, is one of the top five largest holders of Bitcoin. So that is what's causing a lot of this because they're having to pay in their military with their Bitcoin reserves right now because their banking's been completely obliterated. That's what's going on. So get the reward by the dip, right? Get in and get it going. Someone else was saying, you know, 10 years ago, which Bitcoin's been around for 16, but 10 years ago, people that were in Bitcoin had this vision of the future where we would be. And it was projected out pretty far, right? I mean, you could see how things could happen rapidly, but the reality is the whole banking system that's trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars, probably a zillion dollars by this point, isn't just going to disappear overnight. Right. So the reality of that, but these guys were making long-term bets, long-term bets. They built around Bitcoin, just like a smart Roman might build build around a gold mine. You know what I mean? Like, hey, let's get a farm next to a gold mine. It's funny that someone sent this to me last night and I bought more Bitcoin because it was dipping and then it came up already today. I sent it to you, Dad. That guy made his way to Danbury FCI. He called no shots there. Oh, did he really? Interesting. He was a shady character. Um, okay, so they were so I heard someone who's been in Bitcoin for a long time, and he's like, 10 years ago, if you would have said, where will Bitcoin be in 2026? I would have said networks would open up, people, you know, there would be a slow adoption, but it would be big for Bitcoin. You know, Bitcoin was trading at $6,000 or $4,000, $3,000. Then it would dip down to $900. I mean, those were some dips. Yeah. You know, you think you think, I mean, those guys rode the freaking wave. And you have all kinds of posts from that time frame on Reddit and these different forums where people are like, I'm so pissed I didn't sell my Bitcoin at $9. It's back down to $1. I missed out. I'm out. I'm never doing this again. I can't take the emotional volatility, you know, or these guys that are like my neighbor, she had 119 Bitcoin, Ron. 119 Bitcoin, and she didn't know what to do with it. And so, you know what? She went to an ice cream shop, oh, accepted Bitcoin, and she paid a hundred and nineteen Bitcoin for an ice cream cup.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:03

Oh my gosh. Because she wanted to get rid of it. And that ice cream shop has closed and they're retired.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:10

She lives in the Bahamas. Exactly. A long-term asymmetric bet. So he goes, if I went back to 2016, oh boy, and and you told me where things are going to be in 2020.

unknown 1:39:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:23

And I told you, I would say it would be network adoption, just normal people using it. And then if you came back to me and said in 2026, there would be regulatory clarity, the United States would be establishing a Bitcoin strategic reserve that different nations around the world would also be putting one in 10 years ago. I'd have said, dude, you're crazy. That'll be the last thing that happens before Bitcoin becomes you net, you know, ubiquitous. That'll it'll overtake gold, right? And it'll that'll be the last thing. Like, but we're gonna fight this thing because this is truth. This is truth. The Bitcoin network is truth, it is money, unlike all the other cryptocurrencies, which are currencies, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:40:04

And it's attack on fiat, so why would the governments want to adopt it?

SPEAKER_05 1:40:09

Exactly. You know, they they did they viewed it as a much longer time frame with you know, and they were surprised. If you told me in 2016 when Bitcoin was trading around, you know, sub 10,000, the Bitcoin would be at 75,000 or 60,000, I'd be blown away. Be like, that's great, draw a line from here to there. I'll I'll get on board for that ride, right? But they got the people who stuck around got rewarded for the volatility: 20 grand, 10 grand, 30 grand, five grand, five grand, 40 grand, up and down and up and down and up and down. But if you could extend out your time, all of a sudden you see the line. And it is up, up, up, and to the moon. As he says, it's either going to zero or it's going to the moon. There is no in-between for the truth. It either gets buried in darkness and forgotten, or it it roars like a lion and fights its own fights.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:02

And I'd also say it's a lot easier to see the game when you're at 20 million Bitcoin mined than when you're at 5 million Bitcoin mined.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:10

Exactly. Because now the scarcity is there.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:13

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:13

The scarcity is there. And so he said, if you told me in 2016 that you would have the secretary of the treasury say something like this.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:24

And I couldn't agree uh more with you that economic security is national security. I gave a speech at the Reagan Library uh outlining my thoughts on that and how for 25 years the U.S. has been asleep. And under President Trump's leadership, uh we are uh moving forward very quickly on that. And part of that is our digital assets initiative. Uh, the strategic Bitcoin reserve uh is something uh this is new technology, this is new ground. We are proceeding the with all deliberate speed, and we are making sure that as we are doing this in this complicated process that we use best practices and things will be durable for the future. I look forward to working with you and your team on that. Absolutely. I look forward to the Clarity Act being passed this summer.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:17

In 2016, if you would have told a Bitcoiner that in 2026, in just 10 years, which blew by, 2016 was when Trump first ran. That the Secretary of Treasury would be talking about a strategic Bitcoin reserve. He's telling you there's a new Fort Knox on the internet and that they're moving with deliberate speed to set it up. It is the most asymmetric bet this planet has ever known. You are on the cusp of a new world order, you are on the cusp of a control grid that could rule it, or a freedom that could reign. Make your bet. Make your bet. The SPLC is buying crosses and hoods and capes, and you're they're paraded by one political party as the icons of justice. You have the FBI infiltrating groups and entrapping and causing all this pain. You have a control grid that's coming up that is going to be the crypto world that's going to extend the dollar dominance and it's going to monetize everything. And if you think they've had the printers running, wait until they don't have to print. Right. And they can monetize things like Taylor Swift's tour or Joe's coffee shop, and all of a sudden they can tokenize. You think inflation was bad now? Oh boy. Imagine what it's going to be when we run out of stuff to tokenize and it's all collateralized, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:43:48

But the asymmetric opportunity that exists right now is also going to vaporize. You know, as soon as the government adoption is complete, that asymmetric opportunity will be gone.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:00

I don't think it's going to zero. No. When you have governments that are f fle f fledgling, like, you know, the government knows its financial problems, right? The United States can only operate a deficit because they can print. Seattle can't operate a deficit.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:14

Right.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:15

Olympia can't operate a deficit. LA can't operate a deficit. So where does the deficit come from? Thin air. So the federal government knows if you were if you were a father sitting at the kitchen table doing your budget and you're like, well, I make a hundred grand a year, but I'm spending about 290. I don't know how long this is sustainable. Hardy, call American Express and get an increase on the credit line. And then withdraw from it to make the minimum payment, please. That's what's going on. And you get to bet on something real, the counterbalance to it. Do it. Cynthia Loomis responded to Jamie Diamond, who was critical about the Clarity Act. That's crap. I don't want the I don't want the crypto to be able to pay interest. There'll be a flight of depositors. So Cynthia Loomis responds to him directly.

SPEAKER_12 1:45:07

Here's where Jamie Diamond is absolutely wrong. He either hasn't read the bill or he wants to mislead people. And let's put the best construction on this. He hasn't read the bill. AML, anti-money laundering provisions that apply to banks, and the Bank Secrecy Act provisions that apply to banks also apply into digital assets. It's in the bill. There's something like 16, 17 references in the bill to the application of those flaws.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:44

So let's pretend for just a moment. I just read we're gonna go. She put the nicest construction on it. He's just misinformed. He hasn't read the bill. Let's go full SBLC conspiracy fact. Okay. Right? Let's let's just apply that paradigm to this. So crypto at large has been blamed for money laundering, and you know, human trafficking, all the things that the the financial system has in fact been doing. Like 99.9% of money laundering does go through the bank. When you go read through that SPLC indictment, shell corporations, proprietorships with business names, moving money from here to here to here to here to here to here, lots of collusion, lots of conspiracy, all of that. What are the odds the banks haven't been using crypto to money launder so they would get caught?

SPEAKER_07 1:46:38

Huh. Um probably close to zero.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:42

We had the video a couple days ago where the guy that was talking about the Jeffrey Epstein network into crypto and they were trying to pull back Bitcoin and put focus into cryptos and tether. Tether was starting. Tether was started by a Epstein accolade. So what if the banks had shifted their money laundering activities into crypto and then they demonized it, and now there's going to be regulation there, and it can be easily tracked, easier to track than at the bank itself. But as the bank has gotten better at tracking criminals, it also gets better at tracking itself, right? As the government plugs in and can see the books and can see the entities, and there's a whole of government approach, the banks could get caught. I mean, Chase Bank paid a huge fine for money laundering for Jeffrey Epstein. Um, HSBC Bank paid a huge fine for what? Money laundering for the cartels. So you go through and you go through the list of these banks that have paid fines for participating in the exact nefarious activities that they were accusing crypto of doing. What are the odds that they went ahead and shifted those activities after being caught into crypto so that there was some legitimacy with what they're saying? You can always drum up an indictment or two, but that was how they then were doing it as well. Oh, yeah. Knowing that it was the Wild West.

SPEAKER_07 1:47:59

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:59

And then Jamie Diamond comes out and he's like, can't do it. Can't do it. We don't want the eyes over there. I'm just applying the SPLC filter to this. What if? What if? The last thing in the world they want you to do is hold your Bitcoin in self-custody. That's the last thing they want you to do. Again, Trump making

Federal Workforce Reform And Closing Plugs

SPEAKER_05 1:48:22

great strides. Yesterday he signed an executive order that will allow him to file, fire federal workers as if they were private sector employees.

SPEAKER_10 1:48:36

Currently, with respect to many policy-making decisions in departments and agencies across government, uh, we lack the ability because of existing personnel rules uh to effectively discipline or promote people uh who are in policy-making roles. Uh, this executive order follows on a number of previous executive orders. Uh, the end goal is making the federal workforce uh more accountable uh and ensuring that people, particularly in policy-making roles, uh aren't uh aren't unaccountable to uh the wishes of the administration.

SPEAKER_27 1:49:05

And the reason for this was what whose idea was today?

SPEAKER_10 1:49:09

Uh James Church, uh West Policy Council can see.

SPEAKER_26 1:49:16

Thank you, sir. Uh, it's been a long-standing problem that it's almost impossible to fire a federal employee, even in case of serious misconduct. Uh, and as a result, uh, if you have employees who are trying to undermine the witchist American people by pushing their own agenda or just incompetent in what they're doing, agencies have a long-standing difficult time getting rid of them. And that's a particular problem if you're in a senior policy enforcing role where you're controlling uh the policy of the entire agency. Uh, what this does is basically treats those employees like private sector workers. Uh they can be hired uh on the basis of merit and confidence. But if they're messing up, uh then they could be real quickly rather than taking a year or longer than you were very much involved in.

SPEAKER_27 1:49:57

I was just interested in savings. It's like perfectly cast about this. You couldn't have done that any better. Were you nervous? Thank you, sir. Would anybody else like to say anything? What about you? Come on over here. Come on, kid. You don't have to. Thank you very much.

SPEAKER_09 1:50:24

Yeah, this customs reformio is a long time coming for us. Um we got a system where people basically can't go to hide behind shell companies. They move from one to the next, and then we can't go after them. The CO really enables us to uh crap down and hope people can so important.

SPEAKER_27 1:50:47

I know you took it so seriously. See how serious they are? I mean there's a love of the country. This isn't like normal stuff. These are the smartest people in the world. They can do anything they want, they can have any job, and they love this country. They just want to be here. And they hate what you saw. Thank you very much. Anyone else? Thank you very much. Anyone else? Anybody? Only B1. I'm not gonna call them. Anyone? You don't have to.

SPEAKER_05 1:51:17

They cover you with you know, NGOs were hiding behind, you know, they'd commit problems, close that one, open a new one, open a new one, open a new one, and the liability always falls to the the NGO, and then they would just change corporation, just change, change, change. Which by the way, SPLC has been indicted. Uh no living being has been indicted for that.

SPEAKER_08 1:51:37

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_05 1:51:38

Yet, I don't know. I mean, I assume at some point they're gonna loop in the people that coordinated this thing, because I mean, the SPLC doesn't, it's just a binder of bylaws. It doesn't act on its own, right? There were people behind that, but only the SPLC's been indicted. So they that was the problem, is if they did find fraud, they could come after that entity, but the fraud stirrers would just pop up over here. Another homeless NGO, another homeless NGO, another homeless NGO, another homeless. Yeah, you should. But because of you know, just the the uh corporate bail, uh as long unless they can track down like you get what I'm saying. Like unless they can track it down, you know, it becomes difficult. And you know what criminals are not halfway bad at doing? Covering their tracks. Yeah, you know, one of the things when I read through that SPLC indictment was I was like, these guys understood the banking, they understood what the banks would see. That they would see uh book company, they would see photography company, they would see these things. It would make sense for the SPLC to pay a photographer to go to a clan rally to document it so they could do whatever. Little did they know, the guy documenting the clan rally also brought the capes, the hoods, and the cross to burn. You know what I'm saying? He wasn't paid to take photographs, he was paid to stage the whole photo shoot. Absolutely insane. All right, guys, that's it for the show today. I should have some private streaming, but I don't. I ran out of stuff. So we're gonna go ahead and let you guys go. And for those of you regular listeners, you're gonna actually get to hear the outro. You know, I have heard that the outro is sometimes the best part of the show. People just let it play through the outro because it's so fun day after day to hear the uh Monty Python bit. That's pretty fun. So, anyways, I've all I always enjoy it. So, you guys enjoy the outro, and we may or may not talk to you tomorrow. I'm flying out to head over to Wisconsin to do the stop to do the stop starting over meeting on Saturday. That's what I'm all about. Not doing it tomorrow.

SPEAKER_07 1:53:48

No, it's just the monologue from Monty Python.

SPEAKER_05 1:53:51

Oh, that's what I'm all about. Yeah. So I'll be doing the Stop Starting Over uh event in Wisconsin. If you're interested in that, you can find information at 1776live.us, and that'll be absolutely wonderful. The Bitcoin class that 1776live.us is going to start on June 15th. Now, I really want to plug this Bitcoin class. The name of the class is From Zero to Node Runner. It's easy for you to take the River Link, it's in the show notes and descriptions, and create a path between you and Bitcoin. You need to own some, even if it's on an exchange. Get started. Get involved in the network, right? Learn how to use it. But then additionally, the real power and the sovereignty and the strength comes from when you take it into private custody. And that's a little complicated. It takes a little bit of education. You could think you're doing everything right, buy your private custody uh device on Amazon or eBay, put your Bitcoin in there and find out it's instantly gone because someone else turned it on before you and took the passwords. Does that make sense? So you've got to know where to buy the devices, how to vet the companies. So there's there's some technical knowledge. And then the biggest thing is learning how to run a node. Then you become a contributor to the network and you maximize your privacy. You make yourself totally uncensorable. So the class is designed to take you from zero, not owning anything, to be able to being able to not just create a path between you and owning Bitcoin on an exchange, but how to take that Bitcoin and take it into private custody, how to secure the private custody so that if your house burns down and you lose all your devices and all your computers and everything that's authenticated to log into your wallet, that you can access it from anywhere. As long as you can get to the internet, which at this point is like life essential, right? You can access your wallet and open it back up so you won't lose your Bitcoin. And then additionally, learning how to run a node. And then, of course, we will have a 1776 node that people can use while they're setting up their own that'll be in-house. So it's gonna be a great class. It's gonna be 10 weeks because that's the minimum that it's gonna take for you to indoctrinate yourself into it. And then the class is going to include an advanced class for people who really want to get into the technical aspects, who want to understand the code and want to understand Bitcoin mining and want to understand all that other stuff, the much more technical types of things. Uh for Azure, I think you'd be very interested in that class, right? And so you've got the how to use Bitcoin, set up Bitcoin, become sovereign with Bitcoin, and then there will be an advanced class for anybody who just wants to continue that will be part of it, that will be another number of weeks that's going to go over the deep technical aspects of it. So I really encourage you people to get involved in that. The other thing, too, never forget political remodel.com. Gary's manuscript is awesome and it's making its way all over the country. The the the views that we've gotten on Take My County back, which is our YouTube channel, our rumble channel. There's also a YouTube channel that Gary's hosting, Take Back My County, as well as uh takebackmycounty.com. You can go and watch all the videos. Please go get involved. Right? We have to take care of this. What outlasts any fake, any government, any institution, what outlasts it? The people, the money, and the religion. Right? Go have a stake in all three of those things and be one of the people that can put this place back together. We can course correct, we can do anything we want. When we the people can communicate and can transact with each other, we become the force that the government fears. When people fear the government, there's tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty. Become the people the government fears. The sovereign individuals that can operate in commerce without government intervention and regulation, the sovereign individuals that stick to their beliefs despite what the zeitgeist says. When the world tells you something is good and you know it to be bad, that's religion. That will outlast the government because the truth is found in all of the religious religions. There's always that element of truth that you can cling to. Find it and hold on to it for dear life. All right, guys, that's it for us today. We will talk to you again tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Monty Python Outro On Power

I'm thirty-seven. I'm twenty-seven, I'm not all. Well, I can't just call him 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 would automatically treat me like an inferior. Well, I am king. Oh king. How do 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, lovely silver. How'd you do? How do you do, good lady? I'm Arthur, King of the Britons. Whose castle is that? King of the British. The Britons. Who are 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. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes are. That's what it's all about. Only people wouldn't haste. Who lives in that castle? No one lives in that castle. Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. What? I told you. We're in a narco-syndicalist commune. We take it in 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, by a civil majority in the case of purely internal affairs. Be quacked, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of quack. I order you to be quacked. I'm your king. Don't vote for king. The lady of the lake. Her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water. Signifying by divine providence that I asked 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 farcical aquatic ceremony. Big one. But you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery park for a sauna is. Just because some moistened bitch had loved a simitard me, it put me away. Now we see the system. I'm being repressed. Oh what a giveaway. You were that you were that I'm on about. Do you see repressing me? You saw it in your
