What Happens When Work Becomes Optional But Purpose Doesn’t

A cloudy D.C. morning sets the stage for a storm of questions: can AI really automate half of America’s work hours, and what happens to purpose if “optional work” arrives before a safety net for meaning does? We walk through the numbers behind automation risk and the roles most exposed, then collide that with a cooler inflation print that seems like good news—until you weigh it against consolidation, layoffs, and the uneasy truth that productivity and stability don’t always move together.

From there, the story shifts to the streets and the servers. Cyber‑enabled cargo theft is no longer a movie plot; it’s a playbook that uses freight marketplaces, hacked credentials, and live vehicle tracking to pick off high‑value loads. We consider how self‑driving trucks could widen that attack surface, and what it would take to harden logistics without stalling innovation. On the public safety front, a Memphis crackdown boasts thousands of arrests and major seizures, while judges and officials spar over tactics and civil boundaries. Trust in institutions dips further with a Minnesota case where a judge overturns a jury verdict, and juror bribery allegations tied to pandemic meal fraud raise the stakes on courtroom integrity.

Politics, meanwhile, becomes a contest over “effectiveness.” Some measure wins by packed dockets and judicial appointments; others by aggressive oversight into weaponization, election integrity claims, and the release of long‑sealed records. We examine how courts are wielded as both shield and sword, and why legal narratives now decide so much of public reality. The geopolitical frame widens with talk of Ukraine peace optics, emoluments accusations, and a sharp argument over Venezuela that folds in cartel designations, warship maneuvers, and the seduction of oil. Across every segment, a single throughline emerges: when technology accelerates faster than accountability, crime adapts, politics lawfares, and citizens lose the plot.

Our goal is to reconnect the dots: AI and jobs, cybercrime and infrastructure, courts and legitimacy, foreign policy and domestic incentives. If work becomes easier to automate, leadership must make purpose easier to find. If we digitize supply chains, we must secure them with the same urgency. And if we demand rule of law, we have to accept transparency even when it challenges our side. Listen, share with a friend who’s weighing optimism against realism, and leave a review to tell us where you see the biggest risk—and the smartest fix.

SPEAKER_21: 0:51

Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. So glad to have you with us this morning. It is another day in Washington. A little bit overcast, as you would expect. All right. So let's go ahead and jump in today. First thing I've got here is kind of plays on yesterday. We started discussing a little bit about AI. You know, there's been uh an uptick in job reduction according to ADP. And so where could those jobs be coming from? Why is it people are, you know, getting laid off? And so the is this oh yeah, the wall.

unknown: 1:26

What what is this?

SPEAKER_21: 1:27

Hold on. The times sometimes. The times? Oh, maybe it's just the times. For some reason, I thought it was the one. I can't tell if that's artwork or if there's a word in there. It's just the times, I guess. AI could replace half of American jobs, say report. McKinsey Report finds that with today's technology, AI agents and robots are ready to automate about 57% of work hours in the United States. Now, the point I made yesterday was this was probably going to be a lot of small businesses, probably medium businesses too. I guess I'll take that back. All businesses are basically just looking around going, where can we tighten the belt? Where can we get more for our dollar? And AI is an incredible tool for people to increase productivity. About half of all American jobs could be replaced by artificial intelligence, according to the report. The American Consultancy's analysis found that AI robots and AI agents could automate more than half of U.S. work hours, both mental and cognitive, using technology that is available today. If companies, and this is where I think this is coming in, if companies redesigned how they did things, consolidation. You can have an office manager that's doing a lot of different things because they can use AI to accelerate their work. The most roles at risk, about 40%, involve the kinds of drafting, processing information, and routine reasoning that AI agents can do. Hiring is slowing in some such jobs, as among paralegals, administrative, and office support workers and programmers, the research found. Similarly dangerous, physical jobs in warehouses or operating machines are most likely to be replaced by robots. Conversely, a third of U.S. jobs would be difficult to replace with AI because they have uniquely human attributes, such as nursing, the analysis found. Some 70% of the tasks performed by caretakers or other healthcare workers require the kind of physical presence, empathy, and care and dexterity that machines cannot replicate. Building maintenance and repair work with demands which demands reflex flexibility, judgment and thinking on the job, often in unpredictable environments, is similarly likely to be is unlikely to be automated. That's pretty interesting. But it does come down to, you know, if you've got duplicatable tasks that are mostly computer oriented, a lot of that stuff can be replaced by AI.

SPEAKER_19: 3:29

Yeah. Which they're right about the robots don't feel. I mean, think what's the movie? Uh the one where Hal, open the door, please. Open the door. You know?

SPEAKER_21: 3:41

I don't know that movie.

SPEAKER_19: 3:42

Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Oh, dude, you gotta see it. Oh man. I gotta throw this in with like, what is it, V or whatever? No, no, no, no. So this is a sci-fi movie. This is important. You actually need I need to turn now. Okay. So it's a sci-fi movie, and dang it. I wish I could remember the name of it, but it's super famous and it's got lots of awards, I'm sure. But um, the whole premise of the movie is that this guy's in space and they have like a computer that runs the whole thing, right? And uh so that the computer and this guy talk to each other and they have a relationship. Well, in the end, the robot decides that the human needs to go and he locks mouthside. Open the door, Hal. Every time I'm thinking of AI and w robots are taking over, that's what I'm thinking of. Elon Musk says this so practically.

SPEAKER_21: 4:37

If you tell the robots that you want to have no crime, the solution might be no people. I think that it's Space Odyssey 2000. Space Odyssey 2000. Okay, I have heard of that. Hal, open the door, Hal. I can't do that. Yeah. So, anyways, pretty interesting. Um, some good news came out yesterday morning. Coal whole wholesale inflation beat economists' expectations in high September ratings. So this is their hype man over on CNBC.

SPEAKER_16: 5:07

If we strip out uh the food and add food and energy in, it becomes up one tenth. That's cooler than expected. Up one tenth would be the lightest since it was, well, un minus one tenth last month. And if we look at what's going on, stripping, uh adding food, energy, and trade, we also get up one tenth. Final demand on a year-over-year perspective, up 2.7. 2.7 would equal where we were in May to find a higher number, you're going to March when it was over 3%. If we look at food and energy, stripping those out, it becomes up 2.6, cooler than expected, two tenths less than the rear view mirror, which was 2.8. If we strip out basically, add food and energy in, it becomes up one.

SPEAKER_21: 5:54

If you don't understand all those things, but basically, this consumer price index, the uh inflation numbers, which we all know are a lie, came out lower than expected. It's just piling on as every month goes on, it's piling on proof that Trump's trade agenda, his economic policies, his tariffs, all are driving inflation flatline. Now, we don't want deflation. That is a problem, right? Because it can be it can be a real issue. Um, but at the same time, if you can flatline inflation and then put juice wages, which they've been doing, they've been juicing wages, you could get back to some you know sane economic situation. However, the the boogeyman that's hanging out under the bed is this AI jobs loss scenario. Oh, hey, that's great. Let's pump wages because secretaries are doing more work, but now you got three unemployed people. You see what I'm saying? So it's like these all these things kind of intersect, and it's like and did you hear Elon say that in the future working will be optional? Yeah, I do, you know, when I I've listened to him quite a bit on that kind of stuff, and I I have to agree. I do agree. I I think that there will come a time where money becomes irrelevant, it just becomes energy exchange, and we see it as that.

SPEAKER_19: 7:09

Like Well, and can you imagine a day where there are so many robots, uh robots that they just do everything, and there's nothing left for you to do except for the stuff you want.

SPEAKER_21: 7:20

I think of it like the Star Trek universe, right? When resources are pretty much unlimited because you've got atomizers and you know, food replicators, and energy is unlimited with a couple lithium crystals, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_19: 7:32

Like so, this could be really awesome, and it sounds really awesome to a lot of people, but this could also be really disastrous because it's the transition, yeah, right?

SPEAKER_21: 7:41

Imagine our society where we had automation of everything and no drugs. See, right now you've got this other option. Oh, yeah, we can have you not working, but you'll give away give your life away to alcohol and drugs. You see what I'm saying? It's one thing if you're like, hey, I'm gonna give my life away to art or something like that, right? But and what happens to the people that don't find purpose? Yeah. Well, they end up in crime rings like the Wall Street Journal features here today, where their purpose purpose becomes literally just crime for crime's sake. Well, yeah, because you they wouldn't need the money. Yeah. So imagine being really good at coding because you used to be a West Virginia coal miner and you decided to take the the the Wall Street Journal's advice to become a coder, sure, but you realize there weren't any jobs in coding because AI was coming around. So what they end up doing here in the Wall Street Journal says crime rings enlist hackers to hijack trucks. By breaking into carriers' online systems, cyberpowered criminals are making off with truckloads of electronics, beverages, and other goods. Add hackers to the growing list of criminals driving post-pandemic surge in cargo theft. Cybercriminals, armed with remote management and malware tools, are using online freight marketplaces to infiltrate logistics company computer systems to identify and steal high-value cargo. What was once thought of as simply a physical crime has now become a complex mix of internet access and physical execution, said Randolph Barr, chief information security officer at cybersecurity firm sequence security. While the planning and targeting are becoming more digital, the left is real. Freight and law enforcement specialists say cargo theft has risen sharply since 2020. So basically, what it looks like they're doing is they're going in and they're hacking and they're finding out what trucks have high value in it, and then they're going and targeting them. Now, having talked to criminals who used to do this for a you know pastime, basically you had they call it a lick, you know, just get a good lick. And I think of this like a salt lick, you know, you got a good salt, like an animal gets good salt lick. I I assume that's where it comes from. Maybe that's just my redneck interpretation. But they're like, hey, you got a lick. So what they do is they have a guy that's in the shipping company and he eyes the cargo and he'll identify a truck that's got flat screen TVs on it, and he'll say, Hey, it's headed to Portland. And so then they kind of have where they can hijack this truck or follow it or whatever, but it's all on the ground face to face. Well, now the cyber criminals are able to look and they're saying, Hey, here's this truck, it's preloaded. So now you're not infiltrating the company. They can do their background checks, it's all silent, right? And then they know where you're going. They probably even can like likely with modern trucks, they're probably tracking exactly where they're at, know exactly when they reach the spots where they're far away from emergency services. This is like fast and furious type of thing.

SPEAKER_19: 10:17

Well, imagine once these trucks have no drivers in them, they could just take control of them and drive them wherever they wanted.

SPEAKER_21: 10:23

Potentially, yeah. I didn't read that in there, but yeah, when when self-driving comes to be, and that's going to be the big concerns for humans too. Hey, I'm a political target. Car wreck. Wow, that safe self-driving car just drove off the cliff. Wonder what happened there.

SPEAKER_19: 10:36

Yeah, under uh conspiracy notes. I'm saying that's already happened.

SPEAKER_21: 10:40

Oh well, you'd listen to Joseph McBride talk about it. You've got a couple journalists that have experienced this. Yeah, any car after some year, the computer systems at least they can turn your car off. Some of them they can full-on drive.

SPEAKER_19: 10:52

It's pretty wild. Well, there's been a slew of accidents where the cars just go full tilt into nothingness. Yep.

SPEAKER_21: 11:01

Now, yesterday we played a clip from Joe Scarborough who was talking about how apparently, when the senators didn't, you know, didn't get the script on what unlawful orders Trump was issuing, apparently those unlawful orders were supposed to be the unlawful orders that Trump is sending troops into the cities. Now, in Memphis is one of these cities that got this federal attention, this all-out effort to try to go clean up the streets. They had a press conference yesterday where Pam Bondy shared some of the results of that.

SPEAKER_32: 11:29

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi sharing the podium with two other members of the administration, along with Tennessee's governor and two state senators, praising the efforts of the Memphis Safe Streets Task Force just days before Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_01: 11:43

You're not with your families. Many of you are not going to be with your families on Thanksgiving. And we are so grateful for your service and your sacrifice.

SPEAKER_32: 11:52

The event also marked the announcement of an effort to reduce crime in public housing called the HUD Crime Hotline, offered through the HUD office of the Inspector General. Dignitaries making note of more than 3,000 arrests, 500 illegal weapons seized, and 121 reported missing children located in the So just for perspective, the city of Memphis is like twice the size of the county we're in.

SPEAKER_21: 12:27

Could you imagine 3,000 people being pulled off the streets? Could you imagine that? Whoa. Like population-wise, it's only about twice the size of our county, maybe less, right? Yeah, that would be a lot of people.

SPEAKER_19: 12:40

That would be a spectacle.

SPEAKER_21: 12:41

And it's concentrated in a much smaller square mileage area, right? I mean, this would be like a night and day difference. 3,000 people, 3,000 people criminals pulled off the streets. Wow.

SPEAKER_32: 12:52

Past 56 days.

SPEAKER_27: 12:54

Murder rates cut in half and crime rates in Memphis at their lowest level in 20 years.

SPEAKER_32: 13:01

While Governor Lee did not address last week's order by a Nashville Chancery Court judge to block the use of the National Guard in Memphis, an order put on hold for five days allowing the state to appeal. Attorney General Bondi appeared to take exception to the judge's action.

SPEAKER_01: 13:19

Unfortunately, the safety of our community has been compromised by some judges who continue to obstruct our efforts. I wish they are all watching this, and I hope they're seeing what we're doing here in Memphis. We will not coddle violent criminals at the expense of law-abiding citizens.

SPEAKER_21: 13:40

He who saves the nation breaks no laws, right? When your nation is falling apart like that, what do you got to do to fix it? Now we've touched in this show a lot about Venezuela and the intersection with Trinidad and Cartel del Soles and the elections and all that kind of stuff. Well, Maduro is down in Venezuela just fighting for his life, right? So you can't really trust anything he says. But at the same time, you I kind of want to hear it and take it into consideration. One of the premises that we kind of understand, those of us that dabble with the conspiracy theories, is the whole system's broken. That the entire financial system is basically propping up drug markets and human trafficking and who knows what kind of blackmail rings and big pharma business, and just it's just like, what the heck, right? Well, uh, Maduro gave this interview and he's talking about exactly this that the United States is actually the center of the drug cap trafficking universe, and that's where the real mafia cartel's at. Now, he's speaking in Spanish, so I'm gonna read the subtitles for you. So uh I don't know, I don't know if I can turn it down necessarily.

SPEAKER_19: 14:44

I can mute it if you want.

SPEAKER_21: 14:45

Okay, yeah, go ahead and mute it. You don't well, only Pony Boy can understand this here, but I'll read the subtitles here. 85% of the billions of international drug trafficking each year. I'm gonna have to talk slower, is in banks in the United States. That's where the cartel is. Let them investigate them there. Money laundering. Look, I was reviewing the data the vice president shared. And I believe it's over 500 billion annually. Wow. That's in the US banking system, in legal banks. If they want to investigate a cartel, let them investigate the cartel up north because it's from the United States that all drug trafficking is directed, and from South America and from the rest of the world. And they also control the opium trade and so on. It's in the United States where the mafias are, where the real cartels are. Okay, fair enough. I mean, you know, Federal Reserve, banking cartels, government cartels, blah, blah, blah. I mean, you could use those words, you know, pretty big there, but he's not wrong, right? I mean, clearly we've got some tie-ins to the cartels. Clearly, we have political people and bureaucrats that are running cover for the cartels. I mean, that's no secret. You have organized crime, they're gonna have to pay off their local politician, right? Isn't that like the whole thing? What happens when it's nationwide, though? Right? Or in this case, when it's tied in with NGOs and Somalis and stuff like that. So there was this wild case out in Minnesota, or uh yeah, out in Minnesota where a uh a judge dismissed a case. Let me make sure I I wanted to share a couple things with this. Okay, so this judge dismissed this case to uh on a Somali immigrant. So let's listen to the local news report about this, because again, the Somalis are kind of like all over the place, fraud at all different levels. And as these cases come out, there was one case just a little while ago where the woman was convicted, but it was be and part of the whole thing, there was a new set of charges that came out because she tried to bribe a juror with 150 grand cash to acquit the thing, right? So they were willing to pay a juror to basically get a no a no-guilty cash, right? Imagine what they would pay a judge or a prosecutor or something like that. Well, this judge made this pretty odd decision.

SPEAKER_00: 17:12

This is a case Lou Ragus has been following since the beginning. The judge's actions could make it harder to prosecute state fraud cases in the future. Lou?

SPEAKER_11: 17:20

Julie, it's extremely rare for a judge to reverse a jury's verdict in a criminal case. Jurors I spoke to today told me it was not a difficult decision to find Abdi Fatah Youssef guilty in a Medicaid billing scheme, and they're surprised by this development. At the August trial for Abdi Fatah Youssef, the jury heard evidence that he ran his home health care company, Promise Health, out of a mailbox at a Central Avenue address where multiple other home health care companies were supposedly located. Yusuf and his wife Lol Ahmed were charged with stealing$7.2 million of taxpayer money through Medicaid overbilling in a personal care assistant or PCA scam. The couple allegedly spent tens of thousands of the fraud money on luxury items for themselves. Despite the jury swiftly convicting Yusuf, Judge Sarah West last week decided they got it wrong.

SPEAKER_27: 18:10

It's reversing or overturning a jury's verdict.

SPEAKER_11: 18:13

Defense attorney Joe Tamborino, who's not affiliated with this case, reviewed the decision and analyzed it for Carolina News. He says Judge West ruled that the state's case relied heavily on circumstantial evidence and that she believed the state did not rule out other reasonable inferences.

SPEAKER_27: 18:29

That in fact there could have been other reasonable theories other than guilt in this case. That's what it comes down to.

SPEAKER_11: 18:36

Despite the ruling, even Judge West wrote that she is troubled by the manner in which fraud was able to be perpetuated at Promise Health. I was stunned. State Representative Kristen Robbins, Chair of the House Fraud Prevention and State Oversight Committee, says she's now reviewing if any state laws need to be tightened.

SPEAKER_12: 18:52

We want to strengthen state law so that we can get prosecutions out of these cases because clearly a jury thought he was guilty.

SPEAKER_11: 18:59

Jurors in the case can't believe the decision.

SPEAKER_33: 19:02

I am shocked. Um I'm shocked based off of all of the evidence that was presented to us and the obvious uh guilt that we saw based off of the said evidence. It was not a difficult decision whatsoever. Uh the deliberation took probably four hours at most, based off of the state's evidence that was presented. I was beyond a reasonable doubt.

SPEAKER_11: 19:24

The attorney for Mr. Yusuf, Ian Burrell, sent me a statement today that says in part, Judge West's ruling affirms what we have maintained from the beginning that our client, Mr. Yusuf, was wrongfully accused and did not commit fraud or racketeering.

SPEAKER_21: 19:37

I mean, 7.2 million out of a mailbox business. It's kind of hard to it's kind of hard, you know. Now, this Somali community, unfortunately, is the way it goes. You get all looped in together, you're all concentrated in one town, and every day we got another story of some big fraud scheme that you guys are doing. Here's the one I mentioned earlier where they tried to pay off a jury.

SPEAKER_11: 19:58

That unknown woman, U.S. Attorney Andy Luger says, is 31-year-old Laddin Ali. Ali and four men are now charged with a rare crime, corruptly influencing a juror.

SPEAKER_07: 20:09

Corruption of a jury through intimidation or bribery is a serious federal crime that carries a significant prison sentence.

SPEAKER_11: 20:17

In Luger's press conference Wednesday, he highlighted how Ali flew to Minnesota from Seattle, where she also has ties.

SPEAKER_07: 20:23

Juror 52 leaving a parking ramp.

SPEAKER_11: 20:25

Luger says Ali surveilled the youngest and only juror of color following her home from the courthouse. Over three days, Ali allegedly drove by juror 52's Spring Lake Park home 19 times. This heat map created by the FBI shows the amount of time Ali spent near the juror's home, according to her rental car's GPS data. Directed by four men, including three standing trial for stealing more than$40 million from the federal child nutrition program during the pandemic, the defendants are accused of a sophisticated plot to get to juror 52 with money. Then detailed instructions on how to convince the rest of the jury to vote not guilty, primarily by accusing the government of being racist against the Somali immigrants. After being driven back to juror number 52's house by this man, Abdul Karim Farah, Ali is accused of bringing$120,000 cash to the door and promising Juror 52's family member that more money would come after the not guilty verdict.

SPEAKER_21: 21:24

All right, Judge, if you could just overturn this verdict, we've got a million dollars cash sitting in the backseat of your car. Are we are we beyond that? Do we think that this community wouldn't do that? I mean, isn't this like what the Sopranos was all about?

SPEAKER_19: 21:37

It's like super plausible.

SPEAKER_21: 21:39

Like super plausible.

SPEAKER_19: 21:40

I hope you're I hope you're ready to be famous, dummy. Maybe.

SPEAKER_21: 21:45

I don't know. Or we'll just move on to the next broad charge. I guess it's just one thing after another. Now, the GOP, right? Oh my people are so weak. It's so amazing. I love that young judge is like, well, there could have been other excuses. One who would have an entire medical business running out of a bullbox. Like, it's prima fascion, it's face fraud, obviously. Like, ah, oh my goodness. Overturning a jury conviction, which by the way means no double jeopardy, too. It's like all right. So this is Representative Mike Lawler. Um, you know, not my favorite. Apparently, he's a GOP Wonderkin, votes with the party line all the time. And he had a little comment to say about Marjorie Taylor Green. Now, people like us, we've always liked Marjorie Taylor Green. She's always been on the fringe. Apparently, we're on the fringe. I don't know. And uh, so Mike Lawler is saying essentially one of the reasons she left town was yeah, Trump pulled the endorsement, but she's also ineffective.

SPEAKER_30: 22:43

Were you surprised to see Trump turn on her, though? Because she's incredibly loyal. I mean, you can dislike her, but she's pretty loyal to Trump.

SPEAKER_15: 22:49

She can be loyal or not. She's ineffective. Uh, from my standpoint, uh, this isn't about loyalty and it's certainly not about likability. It's about doing the job. I've been rated the number one most effective freshman legislator in the 118th Congress, the fourth most bipartisan, because I actually do the work. And so to me, if she wants to leave, leave. The voters elected her to uh serve two years. She's turning her backs on them. To me, the loyalty shouldn't be about her and the president, it should be to the people that sent her.

SPEAKER_30: 23:19

She doesn't want to deal with the primary well, basically the president is gonna threaten to primary. She doesn't want to lose. That's the one. But can I you talk you talked about the reversals?

SPEAKER_21: 23:27

Is that acknowledgement that you know you need Trump's endorsement to win, or is it just oh, she's ineffective? I think she would win with Trump's endorsement.

SPEAKER_19: 23:33

Well, remember yesterday when we posted that 96% support from Trump, you know, gets the win. Yeah.

SPEAKER_21: 23:42

Now, this is Mike Holler on with Steve Bannon, and he's talking about how the GOP is ineffective, right? So Mike Lawler kind of represents that stronghold traditional GOP Republican Party. Congress are more than useful idiots.

SPEAKER_20: 23:55

A lot of them are willing participants in the weaponization of government, which, as you guys know, goes back a decade. Arctic Frost is the same continuum as uh everything else since Trump came down that escalator and the Russia hoax and so forth. You have Lindsey Graham who told his pal John McCain to turn over the dossier to the FBI. This is where it started. And the hearings that he supported and held and the messaging that he did in those crucial years to see the narrative, he's the same one who, in this bill to reopen the government, snuck in a provision to pay himself tens of millions of dollars due to Arctic Frost. And if you go over to the House of Representatives, uh, is anybody remember the weaponization committee? It was supposed to be the big bad version of the January 6th committee to stop this stuff in its tracks over the Biden administration. Instead of that, we got nothing. Uh, they did not spend the money, they did not staff up, and guess what? They ignored the things they're pretending to be surprised about now. They knew about Arctic Frost as it was going on, they did nothing. Don't believe me? Go on their Twitter feed on the weaponization committee, look up the term Arctic Frost, see if you see anything. And it's not because they were not told. And so, yes, we do need to call on Congress to do something, but you might as well write a letter to Santa, see you see the Easter bunny, pay off a kid on the Make a Wish Foundation and ask Congress to do something. It still probably won't work, but we still have to do it. And leadership and the chairman have to call the votes, and the reason they don't want to is because they know they will probably lose those votes. But guess what? We need to know who's on the team and who's not. And the purpose of leadership is not to give cover to those who aren't in this fight, and those same people who would vote against these things are gonna be the same people that should the Democrats win the midterms and then the presidency will be sitting there and gleefully watching the bull freight of weaponization, and as you said, they'll go all the way next time, they'll they'll watch it and cheer it on and see it as an extinguishing of the MAGA movement.

SPEAKER_21: 26:08

Yeah, that's the big concern. So you got someone like Michael Aller is like, oh, Marjorie Taylor Green, you know, Paul Annapolly and Luna, those are ineffective, but yet they're the ones that are like trying to get the Epstein stuff released, trying to get to the bottom of January 6th, trying to get to the bottom of weaponization. But then you've got this old GOP that's like they're in a she's ineffective. What have you done? What are you being effective about? You know who was effective was Chuck Schumer under Joe Biden. You know what he was able to do? He was able to get judges in. So my MS-13 minority leader Chuck Schumer here. Okay, he he was able to see the battlefield well ahead. And uh, what did the Republicans do to stop this?

SPEAKER_18: 26:48

Not much. There are those who believe that we are in real time living through an assault on the constitutional order. Do you believe that we are in a constitutional crisis right now?

SPEAKER_28: 26:58

Yes, our democracy is at risk because Donald Trump shows that he wishes to violate the laws in many, many different ways. The good news here is we did put um 235 judges, uh, progressive judges, judges not under the control of Trump last year on the bench, and they are ruling against Trump time after time after time.

SPEAKER_19: 27:21

There are those who believe that we are in Okay. I love how he just says that matter-of-factly. Yes. Okay. Why are they doing that?

SPEAKER_21: 27:32

We got these judges in. We got this operation going. They are bulleting him right and left time after time. But now that he's sniffing around Venezuela, it's time to call out the big dogs. Time to call out those those former military members.

SPEAKER_14: 27:46

So I talked to two CIA officers who said that this is a part of a larger hoax. And what they're doing here is they're trying to condition the country to prepare for something bad that's about to happen.

SPEAKER_21: 27:59

Like, oh, Donald Trump making unconstitutional orders. Our last line of defense is the judiciary. Don't arrest that judge that just took a payoff from a Somali to dismiss a Mexican cartel drug case. You know what I mean? Oh my gosh. Do you see where this is coming? They've just painted a situation where anything Trump does, they'll just throw the smear of unconstitutional, and away we go with this most recent op that's been well set up in advance.

SPEAKER_14: 28:25

At the hands of Donald Trump. It's straight out of the CIA playbook. It's a destabilization operation where you get people to mistrust each other. And you do this because she's an analyst. And as an analyst, she would make sure what propaganda operations were successful, which ones weren't. So she knows what works. So the first part of the video, you establish authority. I'm CIA, I'm military, you need to trust us. The second part of the video, they introduce the threat. And the threat's not foreign, the threat's domestic, the threat's Donald Trump. And then at the end, they introduce the solution. What's the solution? You resist, you say no. But they don't give an option. They say this is an obligation for you to do. Now she is being run because she didn't come up with this herself. She's a Brennan acolyte, and you usually don't have congressmen and senators doing anything together. They kind of hate each other. So in order to organize this, this had to have had some sort of handler telling her what to do. A script, a literal script.

SPEAKER_21: 29:29

It was described by one of the participants as a script.

SPEAKER_14: 29:32

And it was risky because nothing like this has ever been done in the history of the country. And you can even tell because the media was skeptical and they couldn't answer the question. So they hadn't even been read in on the operation. You see them fumbling and stumbling. And I'm glad that the US military is now investigating this guy, Kelly, because this is what we expect from Donald Trump 2.0. You can't have the deep state interfering with a duly elected. Presidency and get away with it. You gotta draw the line in the sand and you have to make examples out of people.

SPEAKER_21: 30:06

So we'll see. So we'll see. So apparently, Mark Kelly, I find this this is so much more fun to talk about than Epstein, right? So apparently, Mark Kelly, uh, as of this morning, or excuse me, as of yesterday.

SPEAKER_19: 30:20

He is alive, so let's make it a little more animated.

SPEAKER_21: 30:23

So yesterday, FBI announced FBI is scheduling interviews with six lawmakers who encourage military operations to refuse illegal orders. So this is official now. The FBI is scheduling meetings with him, and Mark Kelly, of course, is gonna have to do a little military thing. No, I gotta tell you, it's kind of funny. Apparently, Pete Heggseth, who replied to uh Mark Kelly, who put a put put a picture of his navy uniform with all of his medals on it, apparently they were improperly put. So the uniform is wrong. Like it's wrong. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_19: 30:57

I saw it this morning and I was like, what?

SPEAKER_17: 30:58

Well apparently Pete Hegseth, Pete Hegseth made a little uh just a moment ago, the Secretary of Defense Pete Heggseth, yeah, responded to Mark Senator Mark Kelly because Kelly put up a picture of his naval uniform. And Heggseth is saying, So, Captain Kelly, which you put in quotes for some reason, not only did your sedition video intentionally undercut Gordon discipline, you can't even display your uniform correctly. Heggseth claimed the medals and rows are out of order. And he says, I kid you not, the Secretary of Defense says, So United States Senator and War Hero responding to this picture. He's an astronaut. Quote, when and if you're recalled to active duty, it'll start with a uniform inspection. What the Secretary of Defense is focused on right now, saying he'll threaten the United States Senator, an astronaut, a veteran, with a uniform inspection, in addition to potentially sedition charges.

SPEAKER_21: 31:46

Just to start out the sedition. That's awesome. Do you remember Alexander Venman? He testified in Trump's Ukrainian impeachment. He's the guy who was like he's a colonel. I remember the name, but I don't remember anything about it. He ended up, uh, he ended up getting offering a job to be the Secretary of Defense or the equivalent position for Ukraine. Oh. Just like, can't take that job. Okay, which is basically openly like they were trying to double agent him, right? And uh he ended up running for Congress in Virginia and won. Well, his family, he's got a twin brother. His family is one of their wives was super upset because the family didn't get offered pardons and they were pissed that they didn't get pardons. Well, Alexander Finnman is another one of these guys that's long been involved with whatever this plot has been against the president. He's one of the ones who allegedly said, Oh, I heard the phone call and you know, was trying to say there was a quid pro quo and then it all kind of blew up in their faces. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. We did we did a whole episode on that. Yeah, we did. And this guy got rewarded with a congressional seat. Well, turns out he went and uh part of this Ukrainian peace plan, which as of yesterday, Ukraine has signed off on the proposal, which is like the hurdle. So now it's all on Russia's court, and they'd already signaled that they had signed off. So we might be on the verge of a peace deal between the two countries. Wow. Really big deal. Okay. So now that we're on the verge of peace, hell's kind of breaking loose on hell's at work. Okay. So over in DC, you've got just people on both sides of the aisle wringing their hand because, oh my gosh, you guys are Putin's puppet. You guys are just settling peace. We were supposed to get rid of Russia, you know? It's like, oh my gosh. So Vinman gets on the house of the floor and goes, we need full transparency. Well, part of this peace deal is transparency on Ukraine to figure out where the money went. This was the original thing that uh Zelensky didn't was objecting to. He didn't want to be audited for government spending. There was a scandal with his number two guy, and it all kind of came out and they got bullied into accepting this deal because how dare you not accept a peace deal over, you know, wanting to audit where the money went. So Venman is kind of part of that, calling for some transparency, blah, blah, blah. And then he turns around and he gets a letter from the government saying just that. Oh, yeah, we are looking for some transparency. Let me get you.

SPEAKER_10: 34:01

Could you explain more about this allegation of a retribution campaign against you? What is being alleged by the Trump administration?

SPEAKER_13: 34:13

Yeah, so the day after I uh made my floor speech demanding transparency from this administration, I got a letter from the Department of Defense, uh general counsel, uh, alleging that I had violated uh the emoluments clause.

SPEAKER_21: 34:28

What's the emoluments clause? It's benefiting from your office, it's profiting from your office, okay.

SPEAKER_13: 34:34

Uh the long and short is that uh they're the allegations are uh are are false, they're half-truths, they're uh innuendos, and they're just not true. It's in it they're false and half-truths. Attempt to intimidate and silence me about work that I did in support of Ukraine. I've been very public uh in my campaign supporting Ukraine because I believe it's in the U.S. national security interest. And security, I mean, I mean heck, I almost became their defense minister.

SPEAKER_21: 35:06

So it's the root the the the the what is it, the chickens are coming home to roost, right? Like, oh, we need transparency. Yeah, we're gonna get some transparency. By the way, about some of these things you've been involved in, right? Now he's not the only one. On the right side, again, let's explain the policy. Why do these people say stuff like this? Now, this is Tom Tillis. Oh, hold on a second. Is this Tom Tillis? Yeah, this is this should be Tom Tillis. All right, so we are getting an update on Nope, never mind. This is the update uh on the breaking peace deal. Then we'll go to Tom Tillis.

SPEAKER_09: 36:04

Very, very optimal. Very yeah. I mean, when the language is he looks excited.

SPEAKER_21: 36:08

Look at his paymasters. Oh, my stock options. I'm not heavily invested in Alabama.

SPEAKER_19: 36:25

My comment on that clip was gonna be at the beginning when she's like, Well, they're working out peace. They just have a few details to work out. Right when that moment, right when she said that, the clip on the top where they were showing a little clip, it was a uh military guy shoving a shell into um get rate of with only a few details left.

SPEAKER_21: 36:48

Yeah, okay. Look at look at his body language. I've silenced it, okay? Look at his body language. Look at him. He's like our ads, what are we gonna do about our ads? Doesn't even matter what he's saying, but look of concern here. Oh, this this this fight in Ukraine might be over. Oh my gosh. Now, if you don't think I'm serious when I say their body language is not good that this thing might be resolving, this is Tom Tillis, right? Republican from North Carolina not running again for office. Russia's plan.

SPEAKER_08: 37:24

Um really plan is like a piano right now. He he's gotten everything he wants. He's gotten access to the president for the red carpet uh reception.

SPEAKER_23: 37:34

I think it is time to move on Russia's sanctions. President Trump wants to make sure that he is giving every opportunity for peace to get this war resolved, but Putin is playing him right now, and I think the president understands that.

SPEAKER_09: 37:49

He's been weak on Russia. I think he's been great on Iran, but he has been terrible on Russia. He is unable to call Putin out as the invader and have a more moral clarity about who should fall in this war. Russia's plan.

SPEAKER_21: 38:04

He needs a moral clarity on who's he fighting for. Putin's plan. That was three senators. Bam, bam, bam, bam. You know, that's why over on Fox News, oh, the war's gonna end. This is bad for business, folks. Wow. Wow. Yeah, I can't do it because it's Putin's way. Now, in another in another episode of uh political retribution, guess who's next in the DOJ's crosshairs? Fang Fang?

SPEAKER_14: 38:32

Fox News alert. Swalwell could be in some trouble. The feds are looking into his past, not Fang Fang, at least not yet. NBC is reporting that the congressman is being referred to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution. Once again, mortgage fraud. The allegations are that Swalwell listed his$1.2 million DC pad as his primary residence. But he's a congressman from California. Now it's up to Bondi to prosecute. Swalwell says Trump's just out for retribution, and the allegations are false. But that's the same thing Tish, Comey, and Bolton said. Eric better get his house in order. Rumor has it, he wants Gavin's job. But if convicted, he won't have either.

SPEAKER_21: 39:22

He'll have a jumpsuit that I know very well. When you're in detention, it's per it's green, it's a one-piece. When you get to prison, though, it's a nice khaki top, khaki bottom. So you you'll like it. It'll you'll look good in it. Swallow. You could be part of the gang gang. Again, interesting stuff. Now, I do want to cover this. This is really important. I wanted to wait until the kind of the middle of the show when we have the most viewers. So this is Emerald Robinson. And yesterday she put out a tweet thread that didn't end up being a thread. It just ended up being in order here. So I'm gonna have to go up her thread. So she put out this thread and she said a few weeks before the 2024 election, Senator McMullen, who's we featured yesterday, he's from Oklahoma. He's the one who said Trump's in charge. And former Senator David Perdue, that was from Georgia, finally arranged a meeting between Trump advisor Susie Wiles and one, the one man who could explain exactly how America's election systems are rigged. The meeting took place at Mar-Lacos. So I want our listeners, if you're subscribed to Rumble Premium, which you really should be, you need to go into our catalog, just go back, and you'll find narco-terrorists run our country or something like that. That goes over, it was a long episode and goes over this entire thread, not this thread, but another thread by Emerald Robinson, where she details all the different things that kind of happened between Dominion, Smartmatic, Venezuela, the election, and all that kind of stuff. Well, now the story is coming to kind of a crescendo here. We're starting to get to the resolution. There's a reveal of what's happened, and we've documented how, hey, you know, you got people that are like, why are we in Venezuela? And then people kind of get it. And, you know, you can't tell the Congress because Venezuela might have half the Congress in his back pocket. We don't know. Okay. So we're going to go through this thread. It's a powerful thread, and it's going to connect a lot of dots for us. So they finally got this meeting in 2024. David Perdue and Senator Mullen. Susie Wiles had publicly said that election fraud was not real and that people who thought were so were crazy. After the briefing, she didn't know what to think. She asked for a piece of cake, she ate it slowly, then she made the decision Trump's team should be briefed too. In the end, the man stayed, in the end, the man stayed at Mar-Lago, the person doing the briefing, for three days to brief everyone. There was only one man who Wiles trusted to confirm it all, Elon Musk. A call was made. The man found himself in a room with Musk. Musk declined to sit through the full briefing. Just give me your data. So Elon Musk read the AI summary of the technical data, and then he picked up his phone and made a call. Quote, we have a problem. It's true. Then Musk got on a plane to host a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. It was October 17th, 2024. Musk got on stage and attacked Dominion. Elon Musk said that at the rally, quote, there's always the question of Dominion voting machines. It's really, it's weird that they're used in Philadelphia and Maricopa County, but not in a lot of other places. Doesn't that seem like a heck of a coincidence? Musk was warning us, the system is rigged. How could the 2024 steel be stopped a few weeks before the election? The man who briefed Musk had a team at Patrick Byrne and Gary Bernstein, who we've featured multiple times. This team had recruited a dozen people who knew how the system how the rigged system was built in Venezuela. They had worked for Smartmatic and Maduro. This group of whistleblowers were hiding in a hotel in Gastad, Switzerland before the 2024 election. That's where General Flynn flew to see them. Flynn asked how long this election has election fraud been going on. They said Venezuela rigs it in 72 countries for the last 20 years. The whistleblowers from Venezuela, which by the way, stretches back to 2005. Probably 2004, 2003 when this was actually verbalized. So basically my entire adult life, which is why we've had this astronomical bend of the left and climate change and covering up, you know, international narco-current.

SPEAKER_19: 43:21

And why we ever even bothered to engage in DEI at all.

SPEAKER_21: 43:25

Exactly. The whistleblowers from Venezuela had to weaken us. The whistleblowers from Venezuela had video meetings with Musk's team and Trump's team to explain the technical details of the election fraud. The most important details, the Dominion IP address had been located. All it cost,$15 in Bitcoin from an anonymous Japanese account. We talked about that in the last episode. Guy save the world, probably doesn't even know it. The relevant data and IP addresses were now verified. That's when Senator Moland came to the rescue again. A cybersecurity team got the data. Three days before the 2024 election, the Dominion office in Serbia was hit. Their computers were useless. On election day, nobody knew if the cybersecurity team had been successful knocking out the Serbian computers. Everybody at Mar-Lago had to wait for the results without certainty. The man who had briefed Musk flew to also Oslo that day. His team would flee the USA if they failed. Imagine the moment on election day. Trump had no idea if he would win. So Patrick Byrne watched results from Qatar. Gary Bernstein watched from Switzerland. All of them would be hunted down in 2024 if the 2024 election fraud was successful and the USA would be finished. Trump was upset with his own staff after Elon Musk verified the fraud was real. He had been gaslit for four years by his team to drop the topic. In fact, his hired staff of Cuban intelligence assets high in 2020 to quote investigate the fraud to lie to Trump that our elections were fair. They actually went and hired Cuban contractors to find out because they couldn't trust the FBI, the military, whoever was looking. So they hired their own intelligence firm and it was a setup to tell Trump that, oh, it was fair. But that's the thing about Trump. He's always hired the wrong people. His own advisors had tried to keep Trump from meeting with the team that saved the 2024 election. People like at Boris Epstein and Chrysalis Sevida had blocked the truth at every turn. I am posting tweets one at a time so X cannot hide or de-boost the entire thread. My sources, the team that saved the 2024 election, my proof, Venezuela is now surrounded by warships. That is the reason why we're there, which is why we get stuff like this, which seems to baffle just on Lucas Tomlinson is just off the coast of Venezuela in Trinidad and Tobago.

SPEAKER_22: 45:50

New images show Marines aboard the U.S. Buffer in Fort Lauderdale, escorted by the destroyer Stockdale, transiting offshore, a mere seven miles from Venezuela. Those Marines just wrapped up a week of training here in Trinidad, part of the show of force known as Operation Southern Sphere in the Caribbean. Today, the State Department designated a cartel linked to Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro as a foreign terrorist organization, with the administration accusing Maduro and his generals of enriching themselves in the drug trade. If the drug cartels go out of business, so does the Maduro regime. The administration says the new designation opens up the cartel to airstrikes, claiming the same legal authority used to destroy suspected drug boats. Should President Trump give the green light, there is plenty of firepower in the Caribbean. This newly released photo aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford shows an electronic warfare jet used to jam enemy radar and destroy surface terror missile sites. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisin Kane, has arrived in Puerto Rico to receive an operational update on Southern Spear. As lawmakers from both sides remain skeptical of the administration's plans.

SPEAKER_17: 47:08

What lies ahead could be worse than what we have now, historically.

SPEAKER_21: 47:12

Keep in mind the Venezuelan cartel, you just heard Nicholas Maduro at the beginning saying all the money's in American banks. That money can't be in American banks unless you have treasury buy-off. You can't have treasury buy-off unless you got people inside the administration and judges that are going to let those things slip. And you're going to have politicians that are going to make this about drugs. And why don't we just interdict those boats instead of going after the underlying leaders of the cartels by designating Cartel de Sol, an international terror organization? What happens when you find out that there's some joint bank accounts or some paper trails of money that lead in and out of NGOs with politicians on both sides of the aisle benefiting? And then you find out that they only have their seats in these, you know, contested areas by the grace of Presidente Maduro.

SPEAKER_02: 48:01

United States' intervention in Central America or South America has not always rolled out the way we'd hope.

SPEAKER_21: 48:08

That's Democrat Mark Warner. Before that, uh before Democrat Mark Warner was speaking, it was Pat Fallon, Republican from Texas, both opposed to this Venezuela thing.

SPEAKER_02: 48:18

Yeah, now historically, the United States' intervention in Central America or South America has not always rolled out the way we'd hope.

SPEAKER_21: 48:27

So you got the guys on the intelligence committee on both the Republicans and the Democrats that are like, ah, you know, I mean, what's a hundred thousand American life spent all year on other illicit drugs? And, you know, I mean, that's money thing. I mean, 500 billion is just a drop of the bucket.

SPEAKER_22: 48:40

You should see what we get through USAID. President Trump says he wants to speak with Maduro, who appeared at a rally Friday calling for dialogue, not conflict. After the FAA warned airliners to avoid flying over Venezuela, some foreign carriers have canceled flights to Caracas. Tonight, F-18 super hornets from the USS Gerald R. Ford have linked up with a B-52 bomber to fly another show of force mission off the coast of Venezuela. Brett?

SPEAKER_21: 49:17

So so you've got the mainstream news and you've got mainstream politicians that are all, what are we doing down in Venezuela? Now they can't yell too loud because if they yell too loud, they'll attract the eye of Sauron, Donald Trump. Right? But at the same time, that's really the case, right? I mean, if you speak up too loud and it's not like, you know, you're leaning on some constitutional principle like Randon, Rand Paul, you're gonna end up with why are you so upset about Venezuela? Why do you care? Right now, you do have some politicians who kind of get it. This is uh uh Salazar, she's out of the Miami area, so she's uh I believe she's Cuban. If she's not Cuban, she's Latin. And you know, her district's full of a bunch of Cuban refugees and stuff stuff like that. And so she's being asked about, you know, should we take out this leader? And the answer is yes, but you know, not for election reasons.

SPEAKER_06: 50:11

I mean, I would love to see a change in government. My wife's from Nicaragua. We know how how terribly the dictators there rely on uh Venezuelan oil, but but at the same time, a lot of Americans don't want actual US participation in in regime change in Venezuela. They would much prefer the Venezuelans to do it on their own. Do you think the pressure that Maduro has received will force him to leave on his own?

SPEAKER_24: 50:40

Oh, I I think Maduro is not Fidel Castro. Maduro is not a brave boy. So now that he has understood that he's on that very nefarious list of the terrorist organization, that the airspace above Venezuela has been closed off and the commercial airlines from the United States are not flying, he's understanding that we're about to go in. He understands that he is uh he has been our enemy for the last 25 years. Venezuela, for those Americans who do not understand why we need to go in, for three basically for three reasons. You're in Fox business. Uh, Venezuela for the the American oil companies will be a field day.

SPEAKER_21: 51:19

Okay, I gotta say this. The reasons she's gonna present are not good reasons to go to war. Yeah. This is the same justification that they fed us as to why we went to the Middle East. Did you see the look on my face? They created terrorism, right, in order for these very reasons. So the reason we have to play this is because the justification to go to Venezuela has nothing to do with America business, has nothing to do with any of this. It has to do with it was an attack on our country, on our sovereignty, right? Not this isn't protecting oil trade or anything like that. This is this is a military action as justified as anything we've ever done, if you understand the truth, right? Yes, we want to go after drug dealers, but you don't topple sovereign nations to do that. Okay. This is more than just trying to stop the drug trade. This is not that.

SPEAKER_24: 52:12

Uh Venezuela for the the American oil companies will be a field day because it will be more than a trillion dollars in economic activity. American companies can go in and fix all the oil pipe and the whole oil rigs and everything that has to do.

SPEAKER_21: 52:29

So now they're the the few people that are gonna support it are for we'll go get the oil.

SPEAKER_19: 52:34

So we're invading so that we can do the oil.

SPEAKER_21: 52:36

It almost feels like an op, like, oh hey, Venezuela needs got oil, they need some freedom.

SPEAKER_24: 52:42

Venezuelan petroleum uh companies or everything that has to do with oil and uh and the derivatives.

SPEAKER_21: 52:49

So if we take her at her word, we're going into Venezuela in order to take the oil. That's not why we're going into Venezuela. It could be a byproduct. I'm not gonna say it couldn't be. Sure. But that's not why we're going. So they got any rare earth minerals, they got anacondas. I know that. Okay, so Peter Ticklin was on with uh Steve Bannon. Peter Ticklin, for you know, everybody knows is my attorney and representing me in my J6 case against the government. And uh Peter Ticklin is a good, good friend of Donald Trump. They went to like elementary school together, I think, or uh military academy together. So they're like like long time friends. Yes. And Ticklin obviously represented Trump a handful of times in different cases here and there. And one of the big priorities is this Tina Peters situation. Again, as you understand this election stuff and what was going on, Tina Peters was the key to unlocking all of it because she got a hold of one of those machines in one of those outskirt counties that actually had vote shaving happening and was able to take an image of that machine and they threw her in jail for it. She's been sitting in Colorado prison. She just got out of solitary confinement. She was only there for a couple of days, but it was because some GED teacher at the prison, which I totally know how this is, berated her, talking about how she, you know, tried to overthrow the government or something like that. So she wrote a grievance, landed her in the hole. This is not unusual. You write a grievance, you go to the hole while they investigate it, right? Anyways, she's got to get out. And that's what Steve Bannon is expressing. This this has to be a high level of urgency.

SPEAKER_31: 54:21

Spent nine months, we spent nine months, and we spent nine months and they worked every day to get the hostages out of Israel. And everybody supported them. You got to do that. But for this audience, a higher priority is the hostage or Tina Peters in Colorado. Okay? We spent we moved heaven and earth to get the hostages back. And and and thank God we did, particularly over this Thanksgiving weekend. But Tina Peters is as high a priority as the hostages in Israel that Hamas took. She's that high. This is an innocent woman that sat there, as you said at the beginning, the election was stolen. Everybody knows that. They know that. This horrible crime that we don't seem to be able to get organized enough to go, and you're working your tail off. But conventional methods are not going to work here. They're just going to say fob us on. Well, they will think they will and they think we're unfocused.

SPEAKER_21: 55:14

Peter Ticklin believes that the conventional methods will work, right? Because Bannon's like, send the troops, send the marshals. I don't know what they're going to do, but it's a big deal, right? Our sovereignty is on the line. She's sitting in an American prison and we can't seem to control anything. Now, a lot of this comes because a lot of our politicians have foreign allegiances, which are kind of freaky, right? I mean it's kind of traitorous. You could have some foreign allegiances to, I don't know, some Islamic country, Muslim Brotherhood, you know, the Somali cartel. You could have some foreign allegiances to cartel.

SPEAKER_19: 55:46

Kind of uncomfortable to talk about, but yeah.

SPEAKER_21: 55:48

So cartels, you know. I know there's a strong allegations that quite a few politicians have ties to cartels and get payoffs.

SPEAKER_19: 55:55

Well, especially if you want Maduro to make the vote go your way.

SPEAKER_21: 55:58

Yep. You've got people that are sympathetic to communist China that are around. Don't hear too often about politicians being sympathetic to Russia, but you know, but then you've also got this other thing, which is Israel, which creates this interesting situation. Imagine having a state senator who said something like this at his own party meeting. And I'll tell you who it is when we're done.

SPEAKER_25: 56:26

I will say this, I am sad. To say that some here, not everyone, but some here, are so consumed with hate. I will say this. You'll speak for you of stand If you will not stand with Israel in the day. No. And I will not stand with you.

SPEAKER_21: 56:52

That was Ted Cruz who just said, if you will not stand with Israel, I will not stand with you to his own constituents at a party dinner. If you don't stand with Israel, I won't stand with you. But I'm your constituent. You have no allegiance to Israel. Shouldn't have any, except for some biblical tie-in that he's got. Or maybe at this point, do we start wondering, are they taking money? I don't know. A Senate bombshell report came out, and this is another one, and this is our last video of the day. This is stunning. You think about what your government did to you, you think about the allegations that they're throwing at Trump about giving unlawful orders and all that kind of stuff. Just imagine this. This was happening right under our noses.

SPEAKER_29: 57:34

The Biden administration allegedly pressured airports to house migrants despite warnings it could compromise safety and put travelers at risk. That, according to a new bombshell Senate report, that says the Biden administration directed federal agencies to find airport facilities that could be used as shelters or migrant processing facilities. At least 11 airports were allegedly asked to find space, including Chicago's O'Hare and JFK here in New York.

So they were just housing these massive migrants in at least 11 airports around the country. And you wonder why housing prices are too high? Because people eventually got placed in housing. Oh my goodness, man. All right, guys, that's it for us today. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. And if all goes as planned, you'll be greeted by a wonderful Thanksgiving message tomorrow. So we'll talk to you guys again tomorrow.

Who lives in that castle? No one lives there. Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. What? I told you. We're in a narco-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. Yes. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting. Yes, I see. By a civil majority in the case of purely internal affairs. Be quiet. So by a two-thirds majority in the case of my. I order you to be quiet. Or who does he think he is? I'm your king. Well, I didn't vote for you. You don't vote for kings. Well, I can become king then. 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, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I'm your king. Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Be quiet. Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you. Shut up! Oh but if I went round saying I was an emperor, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they put me away. Shut up, will you? Shut up! Ah! Now we see the violence inherent in the system. Shut up! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help! I'm being repressed! Bloody peasant! Oh, what a giveaway! Do you hear that? Do you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Do you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?
