Peasants Perspective

What If Charity, Not Control, Actually Solved Our Crises?

Prices don’t just “go up.” They’re pushed by policy. We open with silver’s spike and follow the money through 1971, inflation’s quiet tax, and the way savers became the losers without ever changing their habits. That macro story turns personal fast: a nurse with stellar credit can’t afford a starter home at 6.5 percent, while rents rise on the back of rules that choke supply. We unpack the knock-on effects—young buyers delayed, roots postponed, families stretched—and why the “fourth turning” moment feels so real when institutions amplify volatility instead of absorbing it.

The conversation doesn’t stay theoretical. We challenge anonymous-sourced headlines around narco strikes, talk bluntly about fentanyl, and lay out why cartels treat prison as deployment, not deterrence. It’s not a call to cruelty; it’s a demand for policies that actually reduce harm. From small contractors scrambling for legal labor to cities absorbing open-air drug markets, the stakes are local and urgent. And when we examine solutions, we hold two truths at once: bold national reforms matter, and neighbors save lives long before programs do.

Argentina’s Javier Milei offers a case study: cut ministries, deregulate, remove rent controls, and let supply answer demand. The results—budget surplus, more apartments, lower rents—arrived not because markets are magic, but because incentives finally aligned. Yet we also issue a warning about the shortcut everyone’s selling: the control grid. Real ID mandates, predictive policing, and algorithmic “pre-crime” promise safety but trade agency for surveillance. That bargain corrodes the very conscience we need to mend what’s broken.

So we tell a different story. A propane driver sees kids in coats inside and “miscodes” a lifesaving fill. His boss turns mercy into the Warm Hearts fund. Other companies copy it. That’s reform that scales without a press conference. Pair that ethic with clear borders, targeted enforcement, transparent money, fewer stealth taxes, and a regulatory diet that sets creators free, and you have a path back to affordability and dignity.

SPEAKER_13:

What are those people? What are those people? Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of the Peasants Perspective. And we're back in the home studio. Yeah. It's not an apartment. It's not a hotel room with my wife sleeping on the bed and behind me. My wife overheard me say on uh I think Saturday is like, I got sleeping beauty behind me here. And she's like, oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_29:

She tried to lay really still. Huh? Better give her a kiss.

SPEAKER_13:

Yeah, she tried to lay really still until like she saw me play a video and then she got up and jumped over on the other bed. Carlitz Grand Rising, y'all. John Attackis, good morning. And Ron, that's you, Peasants Perspective, good morning. So while we wait for people to file on in here, we've got this here. Uh pretty good news. Silver hits a record high of 57.8 per ounce. It's now up a hundred percent this year. Wow. Best investment I ever made. That is uh Tucker Carlson. I'm going to over at 1776live.us, please go there and register for Ignite on Thursdays. I'm going to be doing a I'm going to do a little series for people to self-study and get a macro picture of kind of the state of affairs with the economy. There's a Ray Dalio talk, there's two Tucker Carlson podcasts, and I've got a couple other things I want people to kind of listen to just to understand money. Right. Like it's starting to get to the point where this matters to the peasant. It didn't matter 20 or 30 years ago, right? Just get dollars, whatever. You can't spend gold or silver, but it's not that way anymore. Like if gold silver's up a hundred percent in one year, this is a this is a currency. Like this is a this is money. When gold's up four thousand dollars and your dollars like, and you're like, why can't they bring down the price of eggs? Because they can't bring down the price of silver, you know, and gold and these other assets. So you you have to understand there's a there's a correlation between how much money is in circulation and the price of things you buy at the grocery store. And the best measurement for that is that money in circulation priced against weights and measures of precious metals.

SPEAKER_29:

Yeah, and I'm not normally one of those guys that's like, oh, go get your gold, but when prices like happening like this, it's like hard to ignore.

SPEAKER_13:

Well, and Goldman Sachs did a little survey amongst all their big institutional investors, and it was like 60% of them expect gold to go to five thousand or six thousand dollars an ounce next year.

SPEAKER_25:

Wow.

SPEAKER_13:

And uh Tucker Carlson had a podcast, and again, over at 1776live.us, I'll put this together for people to just do like, you know, just links of this, this, this, and this, you know, spend the next eight hours this week listening to these, uh uh listening to these podcasts and and uh YouTube videos, and then by the next week you'll be ready to, all right, let's talk about your situation now. Now that you've realized I don't want to play that game. And that's really what it boils down to. It just boils down to what game do you want to play? You know, who whose company store do you want to buy all your stuff from? And uh yeah, if you think about nations in that regard as just big employment firms, you can you can kind of get the gist of how they treat our economics. I really believe we the people, especially people that were born or raised by people that were pretty well established prior to 1971 when we officially came off the gold standard. We came off the redeemability of gold in 1933, but to actually come off the gold standard, you were taught save money because dollars saved was gold in the bank. And so that advice has been opposite. When you go fiat like we did in 1971, this is gonna happen. Silver's gonna go up 50. This was impossible prior to 1971. So that's the kind of stuff where you a lot of Americans are playing a game that's a hundred years old. You know, you're playing a different board game. This is the debtors-win, savers-lose scenario, and savers lose, you know, the more money you have in the bank, it's depreciating. Whatever you've had in the bank this year, it's worth 50%, you know, as as valued against uh silver, which is our national currency, by the way, gold and silver.

SPEAKER_29:

Yeah, and what I would say about that is like even if you're not interested in buying metals and you're not interested in crypto and you're not interested in any of these alternative, you know, finance streams, you should at least pay attention so you know what everybody else is doing.

SPEAKER_13:

Safe havens for inflation, right? Think of it this way the Federal Reserve note is the equivalent of script from the East India Trading Company. You know, yeah, you can any East India trading post, you can use their and you can go barter it around because someone's eventually gonna have to make it away to the trading post to get the goods they can't grow or make on their own, right? That's what the Federal Reserve dollar is. It's essentially East India trading script. Yeah, and it's the corporation of the United States and its affiliate, the Federal Reserve and those rich families, right? Anyways, we uh it's hard. I sometimes I think this is not a financial show, but it's a peasant show. And guess what? A lot of peasants are waking up right now, driving to a job site, driving to an office, and you're gonna earn fiat dollars that is actually worth less at the end of the day than when you started working. You know what I mean? Weights and measures don't change. An ounce is an ounce, right? In fact, I was looking at a thing about minimum wage in 1971. I've seen different stats, but it was basically saying, you know, if we got paid for a week's labor in gold, right, 1.81 ounces, a week's minimum wage in 1971, today it would be like, you know, like$5,000 a week, you know, would be the equivalent. And you when you think about that and how people during that expansive time frame were able to buy houses and affordability and things like that, it was because the dollar was you know by weight and measure. Yeah, there was something it couldn't you couldn't get so out of balance between wages and costs. Whereas now, you know, because there's people at the front of the supply chain that get free money, they can it's monopoly money. Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_29:

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_13:

Moving on. Okay, moving on, moving on. All right, pony boy, good morning, Ferrazier. Good morning from Cold Boise. Yeah, I'm glad to be out of Idaho. It was so another thing, too, in fake news, there's been this report, and we talked about this the last couple days, about uh Pete Heggs gave the order to shoot the first narco-terrorist boat and you know, kill them all. They shot, and then there was a report there were two survivors swimming in the water, and all of a sudden your virtue kicks in. We need to go save them and bring them in and offer them due process and return them to their fishing booth. Right? And so allegedly it was order strike again. You know, this is a kinetic lethal strike, it's over. Well, this is set off like a firestorm, and it pairs in with the Seditious Six and their whole we need to defy illawful orders and all that kind of stuff. So we're gonna talk about that and the Seditious Six and that running coup later in the show, but just to just to spell this and put it off the table, Donald Trump confirmed that Pete Hegster said, I didn't order a second strike, I said make it lethal, like kill him, you know? And uh and so Trump's like, I don't even have to, he was told a reporter on the plane, I don't even have to think about it. Pete Pete said he didn't do it, so to me it's a non-issue. And the reason that they're able to brush it off like that is is from what Christy Gnome is saying here. It's pretty simple. It's coming from a fake news source, anonymous again. Oh, hold on. It's not AI, not AI, John, not AI. John in Alabama, he'll be happy to know that we're not AI today.

SPEAKER_16:

Not today.

SPEAKER_13:

Not today, folks, not today.

SPEAKER_16:

Okay, so so but let me ask you about another question. During that period, there's there's a Washington Post report uh that one of those Venezuelan uh boats that was uh attacked by a U.S. missile, uh alleged drug boats, uh, that uh a second missile was launched uh because there have been two survivors clinging to the wreckage of the boat. Um, do you I know this was obviously carried out by the Defense Department, but is the administration concerned here that that may have violated uh the laws of war? I mean, was there an imminent threat posed by those people that were clinging to the wreckage of a boat that had already been struck?

SPEAKER_12:

Oh, John, that that entire story is based on anonymous sources. So we see um the press and we see that reg use anonymous sources all the time to print things that aren't true, that are lies, that are completely not based in reality. So um I would not uh put any credibility to that story, to what was said. Um I have full faith and trust in this president and in this government to do the right thing to keep the American people safe. And I'm so grateful uh at the amount of work that has been done to stop those deadly drugs from getting into our country. Uh, just in in several offloads that we've been able to interdict and to stop and to blow up in the Caribbean Sea, it's been enough to save over 45 million people. 45 million lethal doses were completely destroyed that people will now be safer because of the work that the Department of War and this president have done.

SPEAKER_13:

This is now a subject of investigation. When I was in uh prison, you know, I lived with a lot of drug dealers. And most of them were, you know, they were pretty much like, yeah, I was selling drugs, it was poison, you know, they they knew the line they were supposed to say. And uh, but I had one roommate who just he was like pretty unremorseful. Like he was the system screwed him pretty bad. But uh he's one of those guys from Illinois, little small town, destroyed by lack of industry, completely obliterated by meth and then fentanyl, right? So in his mind, and this is him, he's like, everybody in my town did meth, everybody, school teachers, school principals, like everybody did. So to him, it was like, I can't even believe they put people in jail for this because they'd have to put the whole town in jail. It's like, well, maybe they will eventually, you know. I don't know. It's like the public water system. But his whole thing was there's so many drugs in the country already, nothing you can do can stop it. So why even try? He's like, You can stop all the fentanyl. There's still enough fentanyl to kill everybody 400 times over. I'm like, Yeah, I know. That's why you gotta at least start somewhere, you know, and clearly taking it off the street is not gonna be enough. You got to stop it from its source. So I found this video of Jasmine Crockett back before she ran for politics when she was just an ambulance chasing attorney in Texas. Oh boy. A couple things here. First of all, she's way more rational in this video, but I just want to point this out. I had a conversation one time with my defense attorney about how lawyers have no North Star. You know, because they're hired to basically say untruths and lie on your behalf, you know, and all these kind of things. They'll lie for you, so you don't have to, kind of thing, right? So just keeping that in mind as it is, there's some defendant here that gets charged with, you know, drugs or whatever, and I don't know, is allegedly assaulted these officers or whatever, but just listen to her rationale.

SPEAKER_14:

Fort Worth police say they were dispatched Saturday when Curry attempted to assault members of the fire department.

SPEAKER_01:

He did suffer from a seizure, which is why EMS was there in the first place.

SPEAKER_14:

Jasmine Crockett is one of Curry's attorneys.

SPEAKER_01:

It seems as if he suffered from the seizure and woke up potentially disoriented with what was going on.

SPEAKER_14:

In a statement, the Fort Worth Police Department said what the video does not depict is that it took three officers and one supervisor to effectively place the resisting subject into handcuffs. What if your client at some point that wasn't seen on video was in fact resisting and pushing back with his hands? That is a possibility.

SPEAKER_01:

That that's absolutely a possibility. And I'm not denying that as a potential possibility, even though my stance is that he did not commit any resisting arrest.

SPEAKER_14:

Now, for the record, Miss Crockett does not have any medical paperwork to back up her claim that her attorney that her client may have a history of seizures.

SPEAKER_13:

Just like the Maryland dad. We have no actual evidence that he's a good dude. You know what I mean? Like, it's just like all the stuff. Hey, listen, these migrants are great. Do you have any evidence of that? Because we're not really seeing the greatness here. You know what I mean? Every small lead comes into Minnesota seems to be on the dole and doesn't seem to care about the mass of corruption. You know what I'm saying? Like it there, there's no medical paperwork to back up her claim of how she's justifying this obscene act. It's like, okay, again, lawyers have no North Star, and that's just there you go, Jasmine Crockett defending the indefensible, right? Now, everybody needs a good defense attorney. I'm not saying that they shouldn't do that, they really should, right? But, but, but a snake is a snake, a duck is a duck, a lawyer's a lawyer, right? An accountant's an accountant. Don't hire an accountant if you want an entrepreneur. You know why? Because their idea is to cut costs until you have nothing left. Robert Kiyosaki says that, right? A lawyer, same thing. A lawyer is about risk mitigation. Well, guess what? You're never gonna make it big if you don't take risks. And the few lawyers that learn to take risks, they know that's because the rules are made up by other lawyers like them. All right, so here is another woman. This kind of has gone viral this weekend, but this is exactly what I have been trying to say for my whole adult life. I clued into this in college when I went to graduate and uh went and met the uh she wasn't Val Victorian, she was Valed Victorian for our uh major, right? So she, you know, was the top of the degree class that graduated the year before me. And I went to a riot zone, which is just a carnival, right? A little local carnival in eastern Idaho, and she was selling tickets, minimum wage. And I'm like, what are you doing here? I was like, I thought you thought you'd be working for a senator or you'd be doing something big, right? You were like the thing. Oh, I can't find a job. Oh, really? It scared me to death. So I was like, I I, you know, I've got a family now and I've got the same degree. But she's got the best frickin' degree there is. Yeah, it's she's at the top of the class. Top of the class, I'm like selling tickets. Exactly. I was like, oh my gosh. Now, I had a political science degree, which admittedly, you know, it's one of the soft sciences, like you know, maybe it's a little more useful than French literature or something. It'll get you into law school, it'll get you into law school, which was a goal, but then you look at oh I don't want to be like Jasmine Crockett. Okay, but this is the problem here. So here's a young woman who, in an attempt to live the American dream, this is what she's got.

SPEAKER_38:

Okay, so how is everyone buying a house right now? Because I just got off maybe one of the most humbling phone calls of my life, and I got quoted a 6.5% mortgage rate. Mind you, I do have an 808 credit score. I have zero debt. I'm also a registered nurse, so I mean, in the state of Florida, which I work in, it's not great income, let's be real. Um yeah, I'm all I'm also single, so one income. How am I supposed to buy a house with a mortgage rate that high? One mortgage payment would be more than one of my paychecks. So yeah, that that's very depressing. What is everyone doing?

SPEAKER_13:

Nothing. They're doing nothing. An entire generation of homeowners, just like this, have been completely iced out of major mortgage markets, major housing markets. Just iced out.

SPEAKER_29:

It's hard. I think my payment's about one of my paychecks, so I don't know what she's complaining about.

SPEAKER_13:

Well, it shouldn't be more than about 30% of your income. Sure. Right? So if it's one of your paychecks, assuming it's bi-weekly pay, that's 50%. I mean, you're you're beyond, you know what I'm saying? It's beyond the pale.

SPEAKER_29:

I'm I'm sorry. I used to get paid weekly, so I'm sorry.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_29:

You know, construction, they pay weekly.

SPEAKER_13:

Yeah. So this is this is like uh a big deal. It's hard for people that are older, boomers, to really comprehend what's happening to the 20 and 30 year olds right now with high interest rates that have been steady for four years now, with uh increasing home values because they've inflated away the value of the dollar like crazy. It's uh what is it? How what's the phrase? The buses will be free, right? Like you can't continue this, which is why, on top of national security risks, on top of all the stuff, it's the fourth turning. All the institutions that were our pride and joy back in the day are just which ones working? You know what I mean? None of them are doing what they were intended to do. Department of Education, school results are the worst ever. FA F uh FHA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, why are why can't we afford houses? I thought you guys were created to ensure we would be able to afford a house. But instead, you're almost making it so I can't, right? Those institutions make it more expensive. When we get towards the end of the show, we're going to talk about the absolute economic miracle that's happening down in Argentina because they took a chainsaw to all those programs. So pray to heaven that that happens here. Here's another thing, too. And this goes in now, there's like a psyop going on. Everything Trump has to do is going to cause an effect before there's the recovery. Okay. This is, you know, you have to break it to fix it kind of thing. And you have to, you know, as you do that, you're going to expose some problems in the system.

SPEAKER_27:

Okay.

SPEAKER_13:

When Andrew Jackson took on the central bank system in the United States and defeated it, it led to a four-year depression, which was then followed by a 50-year golden age, gilded age, right? But it they had to redistribute wealth naturally and allow the supply and demand market to set in, and it took four years. Okay. This is the four years that it's going to take to recover. Because right now, as we take immediate action to fix national security problems and to fix the acute issues with like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security benefits, all the, you know, public housing, all that kind of stuff, at the same time, you are ripping people out of the economy that may or may not have been working.

SPEAKER_19:

For example, this. Okay, it's official. ICE is affecting my business because I got a job site and I got a ton of work to do, and I got no guys to help me out.

SPEAKER_07:

Maybe you should, I don't know, stop hiring illegal immigrants. You think we're supposed to feel bad about you not being able to complete your job because you're undercutting actual hardworking Americans?

SPEAKER_13:

That's pretty much the problem. But he still's got to go find those hardworking Americans. And unfortunately, a lot of the people that would have been on the roof helping this guy do that job or doing whatever construction job ended up in a jail cell, like my friend from central Illinois, who didn't have that job available to him because the immigrants had moved into his community when he was young and they took the jobs that he could have taken on his way out of high school. Does that make sense? So it's gonna take a while for those jobs to backfill and for people to relocate where there is work.

SPEAKER_29:

Like five to ten. I'm sorry, it was bad.

SPEAKER_13:

Five to ten years? Yeah. Yeah. Probably we'll get a Democrat in 2028 and then they'll take all the credit, right? Okay, so now with this, there's real problems. These problems are tangible for the people who feel them. You're a small business owner, you're an employer, like that nurse down in Florida that can't find a house. Your problems are tangible. The solutions are painful. The solutions are painful. So what's happening right now, and Rasmussen and uh real people's or people's pundit, they're polling has all showed that this is the case. Right now, the younger generations want a strong authority figure to execute law and order, to enforce the border national security, and to take on these institutions that are holding them back. Okay. So because we're a country that runs on elections, everything is about messaging. Snapshots and sound bites and messaging, snapshots, sound bites, and messaging. If you say you're gonna do something, people will probably give you a shot. If you get into office and do it, they'll probably re-elect you. If you don't, you're gonna have a primary challenge and problems. You're gonna have primary challenge and stuff anyways, right? But it's all about snapshots and sound bites. Mandami up in New York, still getting ready to get sworn in, still need your money, but he's starting to really do these snapshots and sound bites again on what he's going to do to help small business. Now imagine us who have an ideological difference with Mandami, oppose almost everything he stands for culturally. How do you defeat this? Where is the messaging coming from the conservatives and from the right and from the people who want to preserve Americana that is the equivalent of this?

SPEAKER_11:

There's a lot of things that make New York City special. For me, it's the delis and bodegas. How do you could I get an egg and cheese on a roll with jalapeno? Ones don't want it special coming up. Small businesses employ nearly half of all New Yorkers in the private sector to keep the city running. But the last four years have been hard. We've seen the dollar slice go extinct, storefront after storefront close, and had a mayor and Eric Adams who has ignored the struggles of small businesses. That's why, as mayor, I'm gonna make it faster, easier, and cheaper for small businesses to get started and stay open. First, we're gonna cut fines and fees for small businesses by 50%. Regulations are important, but small businesses have to navigate more than 6,000 of them, with far fewer resources than the big chains. That's why as mayor, I'll appoint a mom and pop czar with the clear goal of making it easier to run a small business.$1,000 isn't a lot to our city government, but it can be make or break for a small business trying to get off the ground. Next, we're going to start a private competitive. The mom and pop czar will coordinate with agencies to speed up turnaround times, cut red tape, and let New Yorkers start businesses soon. Because you shouldn't have to fill out 24 forms and go through seven agencies to start a barber shop. So most of all, we're putting our money where our mouth is by increasing funding for small business support programs with 500%. We're going to invest$20 million in our business express service teams, which pair small businesses with a city case manager that helps them navigate permits and regulations, as well as connecting them with programs that provide them with financial and legal assistance. Right now, only 3% of businesses are using these programs. We want that number to skyrocket. The only thing more in New York than an egg and cheese are the small businesses that make them. Together, we can not only protect them, but encourage new ones to make a home in our city.

SPEAKER_13:

That is a dangerous politician right there. Whether he helps him or not. That ad's out there now.

SPEAKER_29:

Ah. You want to hear an ad. I got an ad for you.

SPEAKER_13:

Speaking of small business trying to make it.

SPEAKER_29:

Dang it. There's too many buttons. Too many buttons. Ah, still haven't tried 7075 coffee? Now's your shot. Oh.

Bold beans, clean fuel in a morning routine that stands for something like Rumble Does. Woo-hoo, yeah.

SPEAKER_13:

Hey, you guys are gonna have to let me know. We ended up doing seven days of broadcasts last week. Do you guys like that? Do you guys like the everyday having something to come listen to? Because it wasn't that hard to do.

SPEAKER_25:

Jeez.

SPEAKER_13:

Or I could make clips. I gotta pick how to do my time. New content or clips. Okay, so here's another thing. This happened, um, this happened a little while ago. This was out in Linwood, um, which is real local here. Yeah. So this was one of these Afghan migrants that was resettled. Now, recently we've had two Afghan migrants, we've had three Afghan migrants that were relocated to Washington. One of them traveled to DC last week, day before Thanksgiving, shot two National Guardsmen. One of them traveled to DC and shot a state trooper or on his way. So they know each other only through the refugee program. I don't know. I don't know. Okay. And then there's and then there was another one who um they caught him while he was planning it online. And then there's this guy. He he this guy was local, so he didn't travel and go kill an authority figure. But when we talk about cultures, we talk about not assimilating, and we talk, you know what I mean? Like Donald Trump put out a truth this week where some former military member was like, I was in Afghanistan in the what, you know, whatever valley, Kandahar Valley or whatever it was, in in villages where if you had the nicest, fanciest Nespresso machine that made an excellent cup of cappuccino and you brought it out there and showed it to them and made him a cup of cappuccino, they'd call you a witch and cut off your head for it. Yeah, great, bring him here, right? That's and Donald Trump retweeted that. This is what he's talking about. This was in Linwood. This was in front of a high school in Linwood. This is a Muslim father who had arranged a marriage for his daughter in the United States of America. She didn't want to do it, so he decided he needed to do an honor killing in front of her high school in Lynwood, Washington. This is it. That's the man on top of his daughter with a knife trying to. Oh gosh. This is in front of her school in Linwood. Okay. This is an Afghan migrant brought here during the resettlement. These bystanders, obviously seeing what's happening here. That is his daughter. Oh my gosh. Yes, it's hard to watch. I'm sorry, it's only a few seconds. That's horrific. It is horrific. Okay. This is what when you hear extremists that say things like, it's a zero policy, it's we cannot have it. It's you guys can figure out how to live over there, but it there is no amount of virtue that allows that's going to allow me to want to allow that to come into our society and spread that nonsense. Arranged marriages for understanding. The daughter was 14, by the way.

SPEAKER_29:

No, get the hell out. Just get it out.

SPEAKER_13:

But yeah, you're gonna you have people out there that just that can't see that. For example, here's the former mayor of or Seattle, still technically the mayor, talking about crime and law and order. Now, apply this attitude to crimes like this. Does it even matter the background at a certain degree? I mean, if you pull the trigger, does it even matter why you did? You did, right?

SPEAKER_20:

The criminal system has had a disparate impact on black and brown communities. Let me lead with that. So when this person is committing six or seven crimes, I don't know his or her story. Maybe they were abused as a child. Maybe they're bruised. So my my remedy is to find their life story to see how we could help first. I have no desire to put them in jail. You can't read that many stories, Bruce. And that's the calibration that we have.

SPEAKER_13:

See, Bruce, the problem is if you actually go down that road far enough, you end up putting them in reconcentration re-education camps. Because if you're not willing to just punish the behavior and you want to change them and reform them, then you end up doing re-education camps. And guess what? All socialists and communists ultimately lead to that because they got to control your mind. Because what they're doing makes no sense. Okay. Again, this is the kind of stuff where when you see out there and you have Donald Trump and others taking such hard stances with immigration, such hard stances with drug and for drug trafficking and things like that. It's because we're at the point where we have to get to zero tolerance. Here's Seattle. Again, I focused on Seattle today. DOJ immigrants are flooding Washington with fentanyl in a massive DOJ takedown. I don't want you to sell my personal information. I just did this yesterday. Okay. Uh illegal immigrant run fentanyl rings busted across Washington, massive DOJ takedown. Two major drug trafficking organizations pumping fentanyl, meth heroin, and illegal firearms into western Washington were dismantled in October. Groups federal authorities say are tied to support uh suspects from Ecuador and Mexico. Okay. Now, the attorney did a did an interview. He said, when asked direct directly whether all the suspects were American citizens, Floyd said no. In fact, it looks like part of the group has ties to, I believe, Ecuador. It's fair for the public to know the Trump administration is not wrong about the fact that many of the people that are here illegally are committing crimes and very serious ones. Many of the people that are here illegally. How come this is the first time I'm hearing it from above? You know, it's one of those things where it's finally starting getting cool to say. The conservatives and specifically Republicans, or MAGA, MAGA Republicans, are finally getting to the point where they take the stuff thrown at them and they package it up and they throw it right back. Right? Yeah, we're racist. Why? Because we don't want our daughters killed in front of their schools. You know what I mean? Yeah, we're racist. Why? Well, because many of the immigrants here are committing crimes. You know, like matter of fact, prove me wrong. I think it's a fair narrative to get out, Floyd said, of disclosing immigration status. The counter narrative is certainly being pushed. Now keep in mind, this is an attorney that had to get through the blue slip program where our Democrat senators had to approve him. So even he is saying this. Um the counter narrative, the counter narrative that all migrants are fine and we should just help them. And they're just one off is being pushed. He then goes on to talk about how they don't investigate based on uh immigration status and they don't even ask DHS the immigration status of the targets they're doing. But during the course of their investigation, they often find it find. Out. Agents, he said you follow the evidence where it takes you, emphasizing that illegal status of several suspects became clear only in the course of their investigation. So, anyways, he just goes on to talk about more and more of what he's taken. But bottom line is, you know, the illegal immigrants, uh, there was another politician this week, and it was like, Oh, it was Jasmine Crockett. We know that illegal immigrants permit crime at a much lower level. No, they don't. It's not even, it's like not even, we're not even taught, you know. We know that the sky is purple. We know that for a fact. No, we don't. It's not even observable. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_28:

It's a totally absurd thing to even say.

SPEAKER_13:

And it's one of those things where it's like, okay, you've got this Afghan shit, you know, Afghan guy that drives across the country to DC to shoot these National Guardsmen. But for you know, the last couple of years, he's been quietly sitting in his apartment in allegedly, according to news reports, in the dark, you know, hardly talks to anybody. They're so nice. It's like, yeah, they're they're really assimilating quickly, you know. Um in Singapore, they have one of the strictest justice systems when it comes to drugs. Right. And so this is the uh president of Singapore. And I don't know when this was recorded, it doesn't matter, but they've got a pretty good attitude about it. This is Li Kwan Yu versus drug traffickers. And I think in it's so hard for me to want to like throw these judicial bombs and be like, everybody's gotta go to jail. I hated jail. I don't want to, you know what I mean? Like, I don't, I don't, I don't really wish it on my worst enemies, but at the same time, one of the cognitions I came through there, it was about six months before I realized, oh, this place is necessary.

SPEAKER_28:

Yeah, some of these police, some of these people need to not be here.

SPEAKER_13:

Like, and honestly, there wasn't questions like would just would killing them really be the worst thing ever, you know. I mean, like, these are unrepentant people, they will go out and do it again. In fact, uh, one of the one of the things that came up uh another January 6th was in response to this, you know, the two shots to kill the narco terrorists in the water. Well, if they if they were alive, shouldn't we have captured them and like to give them due process? And I was like, no. Here's why. First of all, we have no jurisdictional or we have no jurisdiction over them or anything like that. Second of all, they're narco-terror, they're narco-traffickers, they know exactly what they're doing, they're not fishermen from a village, whatever. They know exactly what they're doing when they get bar on board a boat with a bunch of drugs. Yeah. And I'm like, and the the biggest thing about this that people don't realize we have our young men and women that sign up for the military. Remember, my gang's bigger than your gang, and they'll go spend 18 months overseas multiple times, multiple deployments, away from their family, but you know, their family gets paid, and it's just part of the game. You don't think these cartels view a prison sentence as a deployment? Because they deal drugs in prison, they just become a different a different end of the equation. They still maintain all the same cartel allegiances, their families still get their paychecks.

SPEAKER_29:

Going to prison, it's like the boat exploded and they landed in the water, still alive. Do you think they wondered what happens next?

SPEAKER_13:

But the point is, it's like this idea that you can take these directly connected cartel guys, especially the ones that are straight up foreigners, like they're it's not your street drug dealer and you put them into prison. They're key, they're their people are there. That's a deployment for them. They've signed up for this. That's part of their life plan. It's not a deterrent.

SPEAKER_29:

I know that you don't want to talk about this, but going back to that guy that went from Bellingham to shot those two guys, did you hear what he used for a weapon? Uh 357 Magnum, I thought. Yeah, revolver.

SPEAKER_13:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_29:

It's a six shot.

SPEAKER_13:

It wasn't even a semi-auto. I know they're they're making they're gonna start using bulk actions and stuff because they want to take away all guns. Right. You don't want it to just be assault rifles with high capacity. So was this like a Democrat PR piece? Is that what's going on? If you ask General Flynn, he thinks it's straight up orchestrated by the CIA because this guy was a CIA. Hell yeah. Yeah, he he operated on their death squad in Afghanistan, our CIA death squad. Yeah, they call it zero, whatever. Should have never been in this country. When a person overseas fights against their own country, right? They're fighting for liberty and freedom there. When you bring them over here, they're not fighting for our values, they were fighting for their values. He was fighting to bring his version of Islam back to his Islamic country, right?

SPEAKER_29:

When you go and you shoot two people that have guns with a revolver, oh they don't the National Guard didn't have guns. Oh, okay. Because they're they're just on the street just to But even if even then you got a revolver, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. You're out of bullets. Now what? Oh, this is the same. What's your plan? What what do you what was his final plan? This to die?

SPEAKER_13:

This no, just go to prison. Okay. It's e listen, if you are having a hard time paying your bills on the outside and you understand that you got three mils in a cot.

SPEAKER_17:

I'm just all right, leak one of drug traffickers. All right, yes. That's for drugs. That's for drugs. Because you think drugs deserve to be treated with the maximum punishment. If we could kill them a hundred times, you would because you destroy the whole families.

SPEAKER_18:

It's it's terrifying to see. Because you are you are then drug dependent, you steal, you cheat, you rob your own parents. I mean, it's it's so destroying. And they come in knowing that they are found with this codes on them. The rewards are so great. You do they try very very unusual people, wetmen from Africa, big mammies come to sell clothes, and in between the clothes, uh kilos of heroin.

SPEAKER_17:

And if you say if you bring heroin into Singapore, you hang you hang. You hang anything beyond 10 grams, you hang. Below 10 grams, if you are convicted of bringing in more than 10 grams of heroin, you hang. You hang. That's right. After a jury trial. Yes, of course. No, no jury trial. Judge. Judge listen to the evidence.

SPEAKER_13:

What's the point? Jury trial. We have all countries.

SPEAKER_17:

You bring in the drugs. Presented? Yes, of course. And if he says you're guilty, you hang. You hang. And you're still gone. Unbelievable. Well, do you believe capital punishment is a deterrent or not?

SPEAKER_18:

Uh without capital punishment, our transshipment rate as a drug center would quadruple. Or quadruple. Because you're right on the passage. Yes. And our internal consumption would go up by a multiple of ten.

SPEAKER_13:

I I can't wait to get a year down the road when we start finding out how much Trump's activity has decreased the overall overdose volume of death and stuff like that. Yeah, it'll be really interesting. I know your family was affected by this. You know, do you do you want to share? Uh my brother died of a fentanyl overdose. Brother died of a fentanyl overdose. Wouldn't it have been nice to take care of the dealer before it ever got here? Yeah.

SPEAKER_29:

Yeah, I guess so.

SPEAKER_13:

When when I was in prison, there was a guy that was in there, his name was Vince. And he was a good guy. Yeah, he's a good guy. He's a good guy. Um, he was definitely found himself in prison, you know, connected with Christian, you know, spirituality and Christianity and stuff like that. But he was a drug dealer, and what he would do is he'd dress up in a cop uniform and he'd go rob drug dealers. Anyways, but uh when he went into prison, his son was 12 years old. And he had a 15-year sentence, and I think he's been in eight years, so he's got a couple more years left. He's getting close because of uh, you know, good time. But uh his son was 19 and one day Vince and I became pretty good friends. Walked on the track a lot, he was in the dog program, and one day he just looks like a mess. I'm like, Vince, how you doing? He goes, My son died. Like, what? And he had written a book from prison called Letters to My Son by Vince, and he never put his last name. You can go find it on Amazon, Letters to My Son, right? And it was from prison, and it was trying to encourage his son to grow up and be a good guy and stuff like that. And his his wife, uh, they they've she visited every week. His son, as he became a teenager, dad wasn't there. So he was rebellious and having a hard time. And it just, you know, it's the story of teenagers, but no dad, dad's in prison. Gets involved with a girl, gets some drugs, overdoses.

SPEAKER_25:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13:

So here's Vince sitting in prison with a son who's just overdosed from fentanyl. And he's in his block, there's guys in there that are there for distribution of fentanyl with death. And they're like, Oh, we want to get out, we're in a set, we're not really, you know. And he's like, One of you guys just killed my son. You know, you don't imagine how hard that is. So why we want to kill the boats coming across the this ocean? Why we don't care if two extra guys get popped off in the ocean that we're on the boat, it's because it saves us from having to incarcerate dealers and having to bury our kids.

SPEAKER_29:

That's why. And it's a deterrent to keep the boats from coming.

SPEAKER_13:

It is a huge deterrent. And I hate to say this, but sometimes you can't trust the system per se. So this is a DOJ DOJ press release, and I'm just gonna cover this because again, I I almost hate uh covering uh uh law enforcement malfeasance, right? Because it creates this like and I and I'm I mean some people are like, dude, you're always railing against the cops. I know because when you have uh an authority like that, you have a high you have a high duty, okay? But this was a police chief in uh let's see, he was Houston, Texas, uh Houston police chief captain, federally indicted for raping a 12-year-old girl 85 to 100 times after targeting her online. So this is a police chief that was a child targeter online. You always have like I always say when in Rome, do as the Romans. We follow the laws, we do our best to follow all the rules, but you always have to check authority. Do not assume just because someone has an authority badge that they are a moral authority or an ethical authority or are any different. You have to walk your own walks, stand tall, be sure of yourself, you know, because these are some of the people that will come and try to enforce things on you. So you can't make it about it's never about them or whatever. You know, if that guy arrested some drunk driver, that was still a drunk driver. But at the same time, we have to be cognizant. There's a cultural and moral rot that's happening that allows people like that to find their positions of power. And it also enforces this same thing here, too, because on a national scale, right, that's a little micro-level horrible thing, and probably no involvement with others. It's not like the Mississippi River Delta where they arrested, you know, sheriffs and stuff, and it was a long coordinated conspiracy. This probably is just a pervert, okay? And and it doesn't even matter in, you know, locally for me. It's just another one of those sad things. But this is uh something that's interesting here. So, with regards to the Letitia James and the James Comey um dismissals, there was something that happened there that this Sam E. Anter at Sam Anter on X, I'll give him a shout out. He says, obstruction of justice, 47 leaks, nine newsrooms, one coordinated operation. And so what he's saying here is that um who inside the Department of Justice coordinated with Letitia James, legal teams, Reuters, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, and the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and New York Times to sabotage their own prosecution. So basically what it's saying is that you go down here and let's show you that I'll show you this chart and kind of walk you through it. But essentially, Letitia James gets indicted. So you have this defense network that is formed of her attorney, Abe Lowell, Daga, Ally, Schumer, Garcia, and they start exchanging with DOJ Insiders, career and prosecutor senior leadership, and with media. And what happens is they're starting to shape the narrative. And they put that narrative into court filings, and then DOJ leak insiders leak to reporters. They had a total of 47 leaks, all went one direction. Right? All went one direction. Shocking. The media publishes those stories and calls it evidence. And then what happened is all three streams converge and lows November 17th, 2025 motion to dismiss. And what happened is the the judge then cites those leaks, which were all going one direction. The indictments were dismissed on a procedural technicality, the appointments clause, not the evidence, not vindictive projection, uh, not vindictive prosecution, a technicality. I expect DOJ would return and supplement it. But what they said was basically they all laundered it in, and the judge just took it and it created the doubt, and then they let it off on a technicality, right? And that's how they laundered that information into there. And they're going, DOJ insiders made 47 leaks. 47 leaks. That's like a it's like an open bucket.

SPEAKER_29:

That's pretty that's pretty free. More than a full-time job, somebody.

SPEAKER_13:

Yeah, yeah. Um yeah, anyways, that's just crazy. Another thing, too, kind of changing topics here is Tucker Carlson had on uh let me just make sure I've got this. Tucker Carlson had on Costron and self-respect on Alex Jones. And in his conversation with Alex Jones, he started talking about generals in the military and you know them being woke and stuff like that. What's interesting about this is Donald Trump is clearly leaning on the military right now. Right? He's got active activities going on in Venezuela, a little bit in Somalia. He's you know, leaning on that military might and strength. And Donald Trump has always really touted the generals, but then he's go, they have these TV generals and they're woke and stuff like that. Uh, we know from my friend Matthew Lohmeyer that communism has infiltrated the ranks big time, specifically the leadership, the generals, secretary of defenses, those kind of things. They've, you know, the military is kind of a communist enterprise, like you know, admittedly, but that they've kind of really taken on this mantle. And what uh Tucker Carlson is observing is a lot of these guys that come through here and become military generals are not your general patents. These are not your battle-hardened soldiers, right? And this is, I think, a little bit of the problem where our military kind of misses the boat a little bit and why we've had a a struggle the last couple decades with you know the obliteration of don't ask, don't tell, where it's like, tell us and we'll promote you. Okay. And stuff like that. Here we go.

SPEAKER_09:

A lot of them are sociology professors with nuclear weapons. I mean, they're they're scary. And I know that just from living in DC. I wouldn't know that if I hadn't spent my life in Washington. The Pentagon's right there. The neighborhood I grew up in in Georgetown was, you know, the chairman of the joint chiefs lived like one house over from me. They're just always circulating through because they all circulate through DC. So I would have, you know, go to dinners or duck hunts or whatever. You're with these people and you're like, wait, you're like stupid, totally incapable of like creative or independent thought. And you're a lefty big time, and like self-hating white guys and like crypto gay and like all like they're sociology professors. A lot of them. I've met a lot of them. A lot. Why do you think DEI swept through the military? Because the flag officers wanted it. And why did they want it? Because they hate themselves. Because they all got, you know, master's degrees at Fletcher or whatever. It's some, you know, they all got indoctrinated by higher education, as as you explained at the outset. So, like, man, you have to make sure those people are loyal to the Constitution. And you need to go through systematically.

SPEAKER_05:

By the way, do you think Trump finally knows that he thought the brass for these badass John Wayne guys are literally the enemy?

SPEAKER_09:

Well, apparently everyone says that the the chairman of the Joint Chiefs is like a really good, a good, solid raisin cane American. That's correct. Dan Cain is a is a great guy. So I mean, I think there are a lot of great people. Yeah, there may be many left. But look, there are many bad MSL forever. Many bad, many bad. And the left used the COVID vaccine to weed out the men, guys with testosterone and self-respect, who were like, I'm not doing that. I'm not gonna poison myself. And so they left. But that was the point of the COVID vax was to get decent to purge the men so it's all like betas and women who can be controlled and are sort of eager to worship false gods. And you have those people with guns. I don't know. It's really scary what just happened under Biden. And has it been corrected?

SPEAKER_13:

So one of the things I would say to Tucker is they're making a huge effort to correct it. That generation of military people, right? When he's saying, you know, they weeded out the men, okay, well, let's now assume we have a bunch of sheep. Okay. Guess what? Sheep will be fed. So you gotta start feeding them the agenda you want, the Americana you want, the American exceptionalism. If they bought off on DEI because that's what shoved down their throat, guess what? You gotta start shoving down their throat now. What was it about re-education camps? Guess that's what that's what boot camp is, right? It's a re-education camp. You are no longer a free American, you are now a contracted soldier, right? All right, what do we got here, Ron? We got some some GK publishing.

That is one heck of a publishing company. We got some MK Ultra books, we got everything. That is awesome. I was laughing with my wife last night because I uh I was like, you know, Ron told me that his standard answer to the question that starts with, have you ever read the book? And the answer is no. Have you ever started question out with have you ever read? It's like just no. No.

SPEAKER_28:

No.

SPEAKER_13:

It's not King James Bible, no, I haven't read it.

SPEAKER_28:

I mean, there's a few exceptions, but the easy answer is no.

SPEAKER_13:

Generally, no. The few books that you have read, you're like, and you wouldn't be asking about them. Right, exactly. Sci-fi book when you were a teenager. Anyways, I've had quite a few friends who are, you know, like that. You're really intelligent, Ron. I mean, somehow you've picked it up.

SPEAKER_29:

I mean, if you have to, if you ask me if I've ever read a Louis Lemour book, I might have to think about it.

SPEAKER_13:

Maybe half of one at some point.

SPEAKER_29:

I've read a lot of Louis Moore books.

SPEAKER_13:

Have you? Okay. Louis Lemoore. But uh, you have read a lot of technical manuals.

SPEAKER_29:

Oh, yeah. Well, I read when I have to.

SPEAKER_13:

All right. So this is Mel K. Mel K was a huge uh supporter of J6, so I really appreciate everything she's gotten. She's another one of these reporters that's out on the leading edge of things, um, which is actually not so different than us. If you're listening to this podcast, you're getting things as soon as it's available in the realm of things we're talking about, politics, policy, economics. You know, um, I follow enough people and I've kind of through my adult life kind of figured out, you know, who is at the tip of the sword and who's breaking these little news stories that germinate over time. And what I've noticed is some stories break and it takes years. For example, we were on top of the Venezuela connection to Smartmatic and Dominion back in 2020, right? And just now it's starting to become like Alex Jones has got people coming on and they're starting to really like, yeah, the machine barely getting into the zeitgeist. Exactly. So we were way ahead on that. In fact, I served a prison sentence because, well, I would have served it regardless, probably, but I wasn't going to back down because I could see the evidence. So this is Mel Kay. She's talking about Obama and his congressional, his library, presidential library, as well as some of the other stuff he's involved in. This is big. Okay. This little breaking story where she's getting it in these news sources, what's being published, is going to germinate over the next probably couple years. Which, by the way, there's a huge connection with the CIA and after the church committee and they went and hit out in Kenya right around the time that nobody was born, that eventually became a president of Venezuela, bragged about putting in Braun Bryant. There's a lot there. Okay, there's a lot to the Obama story yet to be told.

SPEAKER_23:

Um Chaos erupted on the Capitol when Senator John Kennedy unleashed a blistering 47-minute takedown during a Senate appropriations committee hearing saying that the Obama Foundation was operating what he called the slickest money laundering operation since Capone War's vets. So basically, what Kennedy found is that the Obama, with freshly declassified IRS audits and whistleblower documents, the Obama Foundation has over 500 million in donor funds that vanished into undocumented global initiatives with zero paper trim, 740,000 annual salary to Valerie, Valerie Jared, while the presidential center has built for eight years. Okay. Only 1 million deposited into the promised$470 million taxpayer protection fund meant to cover cost overruns on the public park land where Obama put his um whatever he's building there that looks like the Tower of Babel. 93 million in consulting feeds paid to firms linked to Obama campaign bundlers. Kennedy said, this isn't a foundation, folks. This is a personal ATM disguise as a charity.

SPEAKER_13:

So Kennedy, you know, Kennedy kind of broke that story that's been being followed, but no one else is talking about that. But given all the conversations we're having about money laundering and all these different things, it's coming. I feel like I was watching Jersey Shore. Because of her accent, or just is she from Boston? I don't know where she's from. Uh, she came down to the prison a couple times, pretty sure it was her. So there's the other thing, too. Okay, now we're gonna I mentioned that we were gonna be talking about the Seditious Six. This is Slokken and Mark Kelly, and you know, those guys lock them all up. So this is from uh Bad Kitty Unleashed. Bad Kitty Unleashed is a research account. There's a handful of these accounts out there that do deep dive research, you know. And these are these are the what these are the Mike Benzes of the world that go into all these documents and they read speeches and they watch hours of these summits that you know, these World Economic Forum summits that people go to. These people provide an unbelievable service to people like me.

SPEAKER_29:

They read it so we don't have to.

SPEAKER_13:

They read it so we don't have to. Okay, so what I'm gonna show you here, this is uh Alyssa Slock in on October 29th, 2005. And we played this clip where uh uh Melissa Slockin says that there's going to be an attack on guardsmen soon in a number of weeks, and then two weeks later, boom, we have an attack on guardsmen. Isn't it interesting? He's a CIA guy, she's CIA. You know, it's like okay. So this uh bad kitty, is that her name? Yeah, bad kitty unleashed, went through this this article here, and she's uh not an article, but her whole speech, and she summarizes it. OMG, you guys. I just dug into the epic file I found, the transcript of Senator Alyssa Slotkin's speech at the Brookings Institute night forum on October 29th, 2025. Who is the Brookings Institute? The Brookings Institute was at the center of the Russia Gate scandal and the Ukraine Gate scandal. They're one of these think tanks that pushed out all these fake news narratives and created all the legal justifications, you know, the ones with all the great ideas. They're yeah, an idea shop. Yep. And it's a total and they're very associated with the intelligence on the left. I mean, like this, you know, all this Ukraine stuff, Brookings Institute. They had multiple people that went and testified. And it's a total game changer. This thing is like a crystal ball predicting the future, dropping bombshells left and right, and it's got all the drama. Let me break it down for you in the most hyped up way because this is straight fire. First off, timing is everything. The speech dropped on October 29th, 2025. That's a whopping three weeks before the infamous November 18th, Don't Give Up the Ship video that went viral. Slockin was out there laying the groundwork, sounding the alarm bells way ahead of time. It's like she knew exactly what was coming and decided to rally the troops early. Mind blown. And this gets, and get this the video's name is right there in the speech at the very end. She wraps it up with the powerhouse closer. Don't give up the ship. Bam! That's the exact title of the video where she teams up with Mark Kelly and the crew to urge military folks to refuse illegal orders. It's not a coincidence. This speech was the blueprint, the origin story. She even ties it to the historical perseverance uh perseverance, shouting out generations who fought for rights. So inspirational. I'm getting chills. Now, the celebrity cameo alert. Victoria Newland's husband was there. Yes, Robert Kagan. The powerhouse foreign policy expert was Stephen and Barbara Friedman, senior fellow at the Brookings. Victoria Newland testified in the Obama, in the Russia Gate, um not Russia Gate, Ukraine Gate impeachment. She's was the ambassador to Ukraine at one point. She was considered, um, she's been basically deeply involved with Obama and then and then Biden. She's at the center of all kinds of stuff. Color revolutions, she's like the State Department connection, right? The Powerhouse foreign policy expert that Stephen and Barbara Friedman, senior fellows at Brookings, was a panelist at the event. He dropped wisdom on domestic polarization as a massive security quack. Quick shout out, Kagan is indeed married to Victoria Newland, the former Under Secretary of the State for Political Affairs, power couple vibes. Having fun in the mix adds the extra layer of gravitas. It's like the event was stacked with heavy lifters who know the global stakes. Epic networking moment. But wait, the key points on this speech. Oh man, Slotkin goes full throttle critiquing Trump's national security pivot to homeland defense, defined as one man alone. She's like, hold up, this could mean using lethal force against domestic enemies. She drives into the Caribbean, strikes. 14 ships hit, 57 plus killed, plus zero transparency on who we're fighting. Shady much. Secret domestic terrorist lists targeting anti-Trump views and federal forces, turning U.S. cities into training grounds. She's warning about authoritarian playbooks. Accumulate power, crush opponents, and rig the system to never lose elections canceled. Martial law, limit limitation at polls. She's popping flares left and right. This is not a drill, people, because they're projecting. They're telling you what Trump's going to do, and it's what they're trying to get done. They want him to use those powers so they can usurp them. If he creates those powers and deploys into the streets and martial law, and then one day, pew pew and now the person in charge is not the guy we elected. You see what I'm saying? This is a Nixon. How'd we get Gerald Ford, the unelected president? You see what I'm saying? This is how you do it. They uh allowed Nixon to create a weaponization scenario. They painted it on him, brought in Gerald Ford, and then they just continued to weaponize the government. Everything that Nixon was trying, that they alleged Nixon was doing, essentially trying to cover up a scandal that he wasn't involved in, is what they continued to do for the next 60 years. Then calls to action. Pure adrenaline. She urges Congress to reclaim power, introducing her to No Troops in Our Streets Act. Yes, Queen. Tells the military to fuse illegal orders and choose the constitution over loyalty to one guy, rallies veterans to speak up, and even says, DM me to get their band together, foreshadowing that video squad, pushes the state leaders to protect elections and fires up everyday Americans to organize peacefully. It's a blueprint for resistance, drawing from her own January 6th barricade in the office trauma. She ends on that high note don't give up the ship because democracy needs us now. This file is a treasure trop treasure troose of foresight and fire. If you're not pumped after reading this, check your pulse. Thank you, Grok, for typing my sentiments in my excited style. I'm sleepy. This could work. So, anyways, she made it sound, you know, all hyped up, but that's where you see this conspiracy forming. Formed well before that. She wrote the speech. But one of the things I I can't remember who said it, but he was like, everybody thinks the deep state operates in the deep, like in the dark. And maybe occasionally they do, but the reality is these people are spread all over the globe. They're all over these institutions. They have FOIA requests, you know, they have limited what they can communicate. And if they do communicate and get caught, it causes problems. And they found over time that 99.9% of people don't pay attention to anything. So they can just get up and give a speech and tell you what they're going to do. That's an energetic thing, I warned you. And then when they do it, you can't be like, it was in the and was sneaky. They're like, We told you openly we were gonna do this, right? It's like over and over and over again they do this. And that's where Alex Jones is like, I don't have to read a conspiracy. I'm reading their own white papers, I'm reading their own publications. They don't keep secrets as well as we think. We are just ignorant of their stuff. You know what I mean? While we spend our time. With bread and circus, they spend their time reading each other's press releases and interviews and stuff like that. And that's why on TV you see so much signaling from these people. When they get out and do an interview and they run talking points, right? They're signaling to other people. This is the talking point. Certain characters, as Scott Adams calls them, the designated liars, when they come out to do their song and dance, you know that they're setting talking points for the next guys. That's how they were able to launder those media hits into the courtroom to get Letitia James and Comey's cases dismissed. What do you think about that, Ron?

SPEAKER_29:

I hope my kids in school.

SPEAKER_13:

You hope your kids in school hasn't problems. Carlit says, My kids lost two friends to fentanyl. Our family supports the quick trial, Trump refers to. I remember when I was sitting in prison and Trump did the interview. Everybody in prison loved Donald Trump. And then he did the interview where he told Sean Hannity he wanted the death sentence for drug drug uh dealers. Oh and all the white drug dealer guys were like, oh it's gotten a little close. I I oppose the death sentence for drug dealers for domestic drug views. Like I think these are our these are our sons and daughters. If they commit murder or have somebody die, you know, you got to do what you got to do. But uh you got you know, there has to be justice. But at the same time, you know, I don't think some of the guys I knew deserve death penalty. They definitely deserved a prison sentence, and they but they definitely also need some form of rehabilitation, they need some form of opportunity to come out to. And that's I think the problem is this becomes so cyclic that you almost think the death penalty is the only solution. Maybe it is, maybe it is the only thing, but anyways.

SPEAKER_29:

Well, especially the guys that are doing it just for the money.

SPEAKER_13:

Yeah. Speaking of just for the money, this is Elon Musk. This is back from the campaign. Yeah, I thought it shouldn't surprise me at all, but he's talking about taxes and a publicly uh maybe this isn't the one where he talks about having a publicly owned corporation, but when you run a publicly owned corporation, it's just that you work for the public, right? So you're obligated to all these taxes and stuff like that. Pretty interesting. Highest taxpayer ever in the history of the planet.

SPEAKER_21:

Yeah, and for what it's worth, I'm the the the uh the largest individual taxpayer in history. So I I paid uh ten billion dollars in tax, over ten billion dollars in tax. Well you're welcome. Like I I I sort of thought maybe the IR IRS would like you know, send me like a little trophy or something. You know. Like one of those, like expensive. It could be like, you know, one of those like like things you get for when kids win a karate competition. Like a little plastic gold trophy or something like that, or a cookie or something, but I don't get anything. I was like, you know. And uh but I was happy to pay the taxes, I don't mind, you know. Um stock market's wild, wild uh sort of roller coaster. Um you know, I think Warren Buffett's got a good good uh a lot of good sayings actually, but what one of his sayings I believe is like you know, having a publicly traded company is like having someone stand outside your house and yell house prices all day. It's still the same house. And you're like, why is this person yelling house prices at me all day long? And that's what it's like being in a publicly traded company. It's just they just yell stock prices at you all day long. And it's like, well, it's actually still pretty much the same company as yesterday. Um so um this is a great video in a publicly traded situation. Um but anyway, I think we should we should simplify the tax code, uh get rid of a lot of exceptions and loopholes, um, and make it easy to Yeah.

SPEAKER_13:

He's doing like a like a stand-up comment. It's like a small video.

SPEAKER_28:

That's what I was gonna say. It's like you're watching Elon bomb right now.

SPEAKER_13:

Highest taxpayer. Yeah, it's ridiculous. I should get a trophy. So I'm actually gonna use that in one of my lessons at 1776 Live because we're gonna talk about you know the different types of entities. You know, you've got publicly traded businesses, S-corps, LLCs, trusts, certain types of trusts, and how as you go across the spectrum, they have different obligations. When you're a publicly traded entity, you're public, right? You're owned by the public, you're just running the public's business that you sold to them via stock, right? And so therefore, the government gets to regulate it in the public interest because the public are affected as owners. So it creates this huge regulation scenario. So, anyways, fun stuff there. The other thing, too, is the American people are super resilient. We have major economic problems, clearly. We have a huge housing crisis, clearly. We have a huge jobs problem, clearly, because of the misallocation of who's getting jobs over the last half decade to decade, to 20 years, really, for quite a while. And but even regardless of all that, I remember hearing Scott Bessant say the American consumer has been wildly resilient. We survived the dot-com crash, then we survived the 07-08 housing and financial market crash, and then we survived COVID. And every time we, the people have come out on top, despite the naysayers, despite the people that think we wouldn't. According to Catherine Austin Fitz, there's been a concerted effort to try to get uh essentially financial and monetary policy out of the United States, but because we are such a resilient market, we're the bully. We're the ones who have the spending power and the capacity. We also have the entrepreneurship, which is when when people analyze around the world, they're like, that is the one thing that America is just wildly entrepreneurialistic. Okay. And what that does is it gives us an edge. So even despite some of the quote, economic bad news and things like that, there are some indicators that you look at and you go, that is something that you can go, that's a real thing. Black Friday and Cyber Monday or whatever has always been one of those metrics by which you can measure the real strength of the economy. How much are willing people willing to spend on discretionary holiday spending?

SPEAKER_08:

Turns out this year was another one of those records. The fact is that we just had the best Black Friday that we've ever seen. Wow. And it's not just because people are out there, you know, taking debt on their credit cards, it's because incomes are way up under President Trump. They dropped about$3,000 a person,$6,000 a family under Joe Biden, and it's up$1,500 a person so far this year. And with all that extra money and with the government shutdown over so people feel comfortable going back to stores, that we're seeing a really blowout uh, you know, Thanksgiving and Christmas coming our way. I think all the retailers expect that both online and in-store sales are going to be the highest we've ever seen. And the point is that that's happening, even though inflation is way, way down uh under President Trump. You know, it was five, 10% under Biden, and right now it's running at about two and a half percent. And it's not uh it's way lower than wage growth. And so people's incomes are going up by way more than inflation, and that's why we're seeing this these blowhouse sales factors.

SPEAKER_13:

There is a relation there. There is a relation there between wages. So that's good news. That means again, everything is driven by demand, right? Supply and demand. If there's a supply of something, is there a demand for it? So the fact that there's still a demand for all the trinkets and goods, all we have to do is now make them in the United States because we'll buy them, right? That's the message here. If nobody ran to Walmart because they're like, oh, I'm super excited for the new China TV model. I'm just excited for the TV, right? So that shows there's a consumer demand. As long as there's a consumer demand, we can drive this economy forward. And if we can eliminate government spending and get the taxation and all that kind of stuff under control, we can set ourselves up for really another economic miracle. Over in Britain, they had a uh Kamala uh Tomini, her on her show, she had the chief secretary of the treasury, James Murray on, and he was he was uh she he was being asked about I can't remember who her the leader is of there that they weren't gonna raise taxes on the working people, right? And she kind of pins this guy down and she's like, uh, you're raising taxes. But I found this interesting because the ideological debate here, one person is like, if you're raising money and working class people pay taxes, you've raised the class on the working class people. And he's like, Well, we didn't. We just raised taxes on everybody. She's like, including working class people, right? Because you've put taxes up, haven't you? What? No.

SPEAKER_02:

Are you for real? Yes. You told you told the people in the manifesto, the Labour manifesto, that you are only going to put taxes up by 8.5 billion. You've actually, between the last budget in this budget, put it up by 66 billion, including 26 billion on Wednesday. And you're telling me you didn't breach the money.

SPEAKER_06:

That's exactly what we've done.

SPEAKER_02:

That you're not taxing working people in the budget.

SPEAKER_06:

No, we are asking working people to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_02:

So you want to keep working people.

SPEAKER_06:

We are asking working people to manifest. No, can I can let me just explain it really clearly, right? I think we were clearly that you are looking at the skip. Can I respond to it? Because what we said in the budget, what the Chancellor was really up front about, is that we are asking everyone to make a contribution through the extension of the freezers to thresholds. But we were also clear that we are keeping the tax burden on working people as low as we possibly can. Extraordinary fudge of the changes that we've made.

SPEAKER_02:

So you're saying that you can honour the manifesto commitment because you haven't directly put taxes up on working people, because you haven't actually put up income tax, even though she floated the idea on November the 4th, despite knowing that she had 4.2 billion in the coffers. And you're saying no, it's not technically a tax rise because we're doing it by stealth, by freezing the thresholds for another three years. No, absolutely.

SPEAKER_06:

There's nothing, there's nothing there's no stealth tax if you say it there in Parliament what you're doing. She was completely upfront about what she was doing. The manifesto said we wouldn't increase the rates of income tax and national insurance on workers. We didn't do that. What the manifesto also said what the manifesto also said is we would keep the tax burden of working people as low as possible, and that's what we've done.

SPEAKER_02:

In Britain, who pays tax?

SPEAKER_06:

Uh well, people pay it on all sorts of things. People pay it on their work, people pay it on property income, people pay it on dividends, people pay it on savings.

SPEAKER_13:

So working on you just said people pay it on savings. So you earn it, you pay taxes, you save it, you still pay taxes.

SPEAKER_02:

We agree on this one thing: workers pay tax, correct? If the tax bill has gone up by 26 billion, workers are being taxed, aren't they, Mr. Murray?

SPEAKER_06:

Yes. We are asking everyone to make a contribution. No, because the manifesto said we would not increase those rates of income tax and national insurance for working people, and that we would keep the tax burden on working people as low as possible.

SPEAKER_02:

We have a breach the manifesto. Look how they have this coded language.

SPEAKER_13:

We're asking everyone, we're asking everyone to make a contribution. No, you're forcing everyone to make a contribution. This is not a negotiable thing with you guys. You're not asking for a little extra. Okay. We're going to talk a little bit about asking. The next couple minutes, okay, the next 10 minutes of the show, which is going to be the end of our public program. Everybody who's listening, please stay with us because I'm going to wrap this up with again, the actual solution to all our problems. Undeniable solution to all of our problems. I'm going to read you a story that is the blueprint forward, a true story. Okay. This is how we fix all of our societal ills, all of them, without exception. But you need to follow me through here. Okay. Taxing, everything we cover on the show, ad nauseum, corruption, tax money, griffs, it's because it's out of our control. Right? It's because our charity has been delegated to a government that has ulterior motives. Okay. Javier Millet down in Argentina is a libertarian and he campaigned on slashing government spending, slashing government services, everything. And there's been a little economic miracle in Argentina over the last couple of years. So we're going to listen to a John Stossel piece. This is a couple minutes long. It's worth every minute. John Stossel does great pieces anyway, right? And then I'm going to come back around and we're going to talk a little bit about some doge spending and how that's how we're basically doing a similar thing to what Javier Millet did down in Argentina here. And then we're going to get to the solution. So I need you guys to stick with me. It's going to be worth it, I promise. In fact, some of you might even break down in tears. Because when you realize the solution, we can fix our problems like today.

SPEAKER_32:

A year ago, this man screaming about liberty was elected president of Argentina. How has that worked out? Well, Javier Millet is a libertarian who promised to slash government spending. So of course, reporters called him far right, radical.

SPEAKER_22:

Far right, Javier Millet.

SPEAKER_32:

Far right, Javier Millet. Why, far right? The far right wants to ban most immigration, ban drugs, ban sex work, wants to impose tariffs. But Millet is a libertarian. He supports free trade. But the country's big government had already hurt people more than it helped.

SPEAKER_38:

People in Argentina are struggling with one of the highest inflation rates in the world.

SPEAKER_30:

Argentina is really like a warning and an example for the United States. Ian Vasquez studies Latin America. Argentina was one of the richest and one of the freest countries in the world. And then it started down a path of greater and greater government intrusion. It's the case study of a country that was once rich and became poor.

SPEAKER_07:

Jabier Millet has become elected president.

SPEAKER_30:

When Millet came into power, there was a 40% poverty rate. There was annual inflation of over 200%. The media said Malay can't fix that.

SPEAKER_32:

He's a snake oil salesman, a TV pundit with no government experience. He'll fail, they said, like his predecessors had. But Malay is an exception. A politician who told the truth.

SPEAKER_30:

There was no way to avoid that because of the mess that the previous governments had left. The question is, what's the best way out? And Millet has said from the very beginning, the best path out is through freedom.

SPEAKER_13:

This is incredibly important, right? There will be tough times. It's the Andre Jackson lesson. You go after the central bank and you destroy whatever that's destroying us, and there's a you have to now stand up. You have to now start doing it for yourself, right? That thing they were trying to impose on you and do for you, you've got to do yourself. Four years of depression followed by a gilded age, right? So, yes, right off the bat, you cut these services, cut this, cut that. There's gonna be pain. You cut snap benefits, you cut welfare benefits, there's gonna be pain. But then the freedom kicks in, then the entrepreneurship shows up.

SPEAKER_32:

Malay's big cuts worked, and now a few in the media even admit that.

SPEAKER_31:

And what he's been able to achieve in a very short time ought to be inspiring. At first, this analyst trashed Millet. He has no experience and not he does not have an economic team. Um, so he's gonna fail. But eight months later, he acknowledged his radical plan to save Argentina's economy, seems to be working.

SPEAKER_30:

A lot of the international press in the last month has come out and said, we've got to take this guy seriously. This stuff is working.

SPEAKER_23:

Those changes have led to a budget surplus, the first in 15 years.

SPEAKER_30:

Inflation is down, the economy started to recover in the second part of last year, way before what most people expected.

SPEAKER_13:

I have to say, I have to say, the night before I was remanded into incarceration, Javier Millet won his election. Wow. What a turnaround. Took four years, five now, right? But instantly they started to see the the right trends, and you know, but there's still the crash that you gotta kind of recover from. But now it's a South American economic miracle.

SPEAKER_30:

Millet is showing that his libertarian policies are working. What does libertarian policy mean? Miley got rid of nine ministries. He cut government spending by 30%. He fired thousands of government workers and cut handouts.

SPEAKER_35:

He slashed energy and transport subsidies, government spending on things like pensions.

SPEAKER_32:

His deregulation ministry shut down 200 government offices. Two deregulations per day since he's been in office. That's remarkable. Sometimes the results were good immediately. Rent control in Argentina had created a shortage of apartments.

SPEAKER_30:

When Millet lifted uh rent controls, the supply of apartments in Argentina tripled and their price fell by about half.

SPEAKER_32:

Which libertarians keep saying, Hey, America!

SPEAKER_13:

Hey, America! Rent controls maintained a higher price than the intention, but because it discouraged other people from entering the rental market because they would be regulated. And rents actually went down simply because the market took over.

SPEAKER_32:

Still hot. There's lots of poverty. And Argentina's tariffs make consumer goods expensive. This$800 iPhone costs almost$3,000 there.

SPEAKER_30:

Argentina still has a long way to go. And that's why Millet recently said that what's coming is the deep chainsaw, meaning much less government.

SPEAKER_32:

What if we could have that in America? Basically, we're on a path to bankruptcy. Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency want to make Millet-style cuts in the United States. We have to cut government spending, um, or we're just gonna go bankrupt, just like a person would.

SPEAKER_21:

And Musk watched what Millet did. He's making all the right moves.

SPEAKER_14:

Ministerio de Publico y Deporte.

SPEAKER_32:

Apuera. Malay has showed that cuts are possible. And as Malay cut government, he actually gained popularity. Freedom can work if only our politicians will learn from Javier Millet.

SPEAKER_13:

Long live freedom, damn it!

SPEAKER_29:

I get I get the continued impression that our politicians do understand this and they just don't want us to have freedom.

SPEAKER_13:

Well, of course. And Elon Musk explains exactly why. So there's a rumor that Doge has now been shut down. That's not true. Doge is continuing on, it's now embedded in the different cabinets or in the different departments. But Elon Musk explains when you go to take that deep chainsaw cut, things happen. People start squeaking, right? This is important. And remember, please stick around for because after this video, we're going to then I'm going to show you guys the solution to all of our problems. All of them. Okay? And it's a powerful one.

SPEAKER_25:

What did Doge teach you if you learned one thing?

SPEAKER_21:

Well, it was like a very interesting side quest, you know, because I just got to see like a lot of the inner workings of the government. Um and uh You know, there's there's been quite a few efficiencies. I mean, some of them are very basic efficiencies, like just adding in requirements for federal payments that that any given payment must have an assigned congressional payment code and a comment field with something in it that's more than nothing. Like that that trivial trivial seeming change. I my guess this probably saves uh hundred billion dollars or even two hundred billion dollars a year. Um because there were all s there were the massive numbers of payments that go were going out with no no congressional payment code and with nothing in the comment field, which makes auditing the payments impossible. So if they're like why can the defense department, or now the word department of war, why can it not pass an audit? It's because the information is not there. It doesn't have the information necessary to pass an audit does not exist, is the issue. So um a bunch of things doge that were just very common sense uh b things that would be normal for any organization that cared about financial responsibility. That's that's that's most of what was done. Um it's and it's still going on, by the way. Doge is still happening. Um But it turns out when you stop uh fraudulent and wasteful payments, the the forces don't you know you know uh confess to to this. They actually start yelling all sorts of nonsense that you're you're you're you're stopping essential payments to neat needy people. Um But actually you're not. Um you know, I I we we get this thing like saying, Oh, you've got to send this thing for whatever, you know, it'd be like this is going to children in Africa. And I'm like, yeah, but then why are the wiring instructions for Deloitte Institution in Washington DC? Because that's not Africa. So can you please connect us with the recipients of this money in Africa? And then there we get silence. Like, okay. You know, we're we just want to literally talk to the recipients. That's it. That you know, and then we're like, oh no, it turns out for some reason we can't talk to them. Like, well, we we're not gonna send the money unless we can talk to the recipients and confirm they will actually get it. But you know But you know, that's sort of fraudsters necessarily will come up with a very uh you know, uh sympathetic argument. They're not gonna say, give us the money for fraud. That's not gonna be what they say, obviously. They're gonna s they're gonna try to make these sympathetic sounding arguments that are false. They're gonna start an NGO and then Yeah, they're gonna see NGOs. It's gonna be like the Save the Baby Pandas NGO, which of like who doesn't want to save the baby pandas? They're adorable. Um but then there's no it turns out no pandas are being saved, okay, in this thing. Um it's just going to a bunch of it's just corruption, essentially. Um and you're like, well, can you send us a picture of the panda? And like, no, okay. Well, how do we know it's going through the panda then? That's all I'm saying.

SPEAKER_13:

Can you send us a picture of the panda? No. All right, guys, we are just about there to the solution, the actual solution to all our problems. But before we get there, we got one more ad to read.

SPEAKER_29:

Yeah, I love these.

SPEAKER_13:

Oh no, come on, come on, come on, come on. Do it, do it. We gotta hit refresh again. Stick with us, guys. This is gonna be worth it. When you guys hear this story, you're gonna recognize the connection. Do we just need to skip it?

SPEAKER_29:

Uh I guess.

SPEAKER_13:

Hit refresh and then redo it. That's usually what has to happen.

SPEAKER_29:

Okay.

SPEAKER_13:

And then just pick it. You guys gotta stick around. Trust me, it's totally worth it. Just a few more minutes. Boom.

SPEAKER_13:

Nice. Okay, guys, here's the solution. I watched a video one time years and years ago where uh it was Beth Stuokie, stocky stookie. She's kind of a female conservative pundit. And she said, What is the solution to hunger? And she said, I am. She says, What is the solution to uh you know a bunch of other stuff? She goes, I am. And I've had this phrase in my head for a long time that it's intolerable for me to see a brother or sister suffer and struggle. Right? It's my duty to relieve suffering and pain in my presence. And if everybody does that, then we can eliminate it around the world. This is the concept of volunteerism. It's who is your neighbor? My neighbor is not someone in Afghanistan. My neighbor is who I see. We're not supposed to separate ourselves by tribe. Right. Now, obviously, this isn't the backdrop of all this immigration stuff and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But that's the problem. We're trying to top down to solve all of our problems. We're trying to delegate to our leaders to solve the problems that we should be solving ourselves. So here's an example. There's always a struggle to keep houses warm. There's always a struggle to um you know to deal with poverty. Yes, exactly. So this is this is from uh Mr. Pitbull07 on X. My name's Hank. I'm 66. I deliver propane to homes, rural routes, farms, folks off the grid. I fill their tanks, check their connections, drive to the next house. Most customers just sign the slip, barely look up. I'm just the propane guy. But last February, during that brutal cold snap, I noticed something at the Miller place. Pulled up to fill her tank, gauge showed empty, completely dry in 15 degree weather. I knocked on the door. Miss Miller answered. Three kids bundled behind her in coats inside the house. Ma'am, your tank's bone dry. How long have you been without heat? Four days. Her voice was steady, but her hand shook. Bill's due Friday. We're waiting on my husband's paycheck. Four days, three kids, 15 degrees. Ma'am, I'm filling it right now. I can't pay until I I'll mark it as a delivery error. Computer glitch, nobody will know. She started crying. Why would you do this? Because those kids are wearing coats inside. I filled the tank, circled the furnace, checked the furnace, made sure the heat kicked on before I left, drove away thinking about what I'd seen. Kids doing homework in winter jackets, a mom choosing between heat and food. Started paying attention different after that. The elderly veteran whose tank was 10%. He was rationing, keeping one room warm. The single dad whose payment was two weeks late. He'd been burning the firewood he couldn't really afford. I started doing something I shouldn't. When I saw someone struggling, someone who'd run out, someone rationing heat, I'd add 50 gallons. Mark it as a meter calibration or pressure test residual. Small amounts enough to get them through. Didn't it did it 11 times that winter? My boss noticed the discrepancies, called me in. Hank, we're showing extra gallons delivered, but not billed. I told him the truth. Everything. He stared at me for a long time. Then said, My daughter was a single mom once. I chose between heat and groceries every winter. I wish someone had helped her helped her. He didn't fire me. Instead, he created something called Warm Hearts Emergency Fund. Customers could donate. We'd match it and use it for families in crisis who couldn't afford propane. But here's what broke me. Mrs. Miller came to our office in May. She'd gotten a better job, got caught up on bills, and she handed me an envelope inside$200 for the next family. The one you'll find in February, four days without heat, trying to be brave for their kids. She grabbed my hands. Hank, my youngest has asthma. Four more days in that cold. I don't know if she couldn't finish. Last winter, the Warm Hearts Fund helped 23 families. Not with handouts, with heat when they had none. With dignity when they felt broken. And here's the thing other propane companies. Heard about it, started their own programs. Now there's an emergency heat funds in six states. But the moment that destroy uh in six states, but the moment that destroyed me happened last month, got a call to deliver to an adnes. I recognized the miller place. Miss Miller answered, Hank, come in, please. Inside, warm, kids doing homework at the table, laughing. She handed me a paycheck. Full payment plus a check, full payment plus extra for the fund. But also, she pulled out a drawing her youngest had made a stick f a stick figure man with a propane truck. Captioned in cran. Mr. Hank, my hero. She asks about you every winter. Is Mr. Hank making sure people are warm? I'm 66. I delivered a propane to houses nobody notices. But I learned this. Cold doesn't wait for paychecks, and no child should do homework in a winter coat inside their own home. So if you deliver anything, oil, propane, firewood, and you see someone struggling, someone empty, someone rationing, find a way, market wrong, call your boss, start a fund, do something because heat isn't a luxury, it's a survival. And the difference between freezing and living shouldn't be whether your paycheck arrived on time, but the reasons but the reasons your paycheck arrived on time be the reason someone stays warm. Let the story reach more hearts. That's the point. You are the solution. We don't need the government, we need each other. We don't need the route, our charity and our virtue through a third party's that could grift and take it from us and use it for their own purposes. 90%. This is why when my family was affected by my incarceration and my children's uh social things were being restricted, sports and things like that. My wife decided to be the change she wanted to see in the world. A family member told her she'd pay for my children's sports and rec you know activities while I was gone. And that was the impetus to create left behindandwithout.org to help other children to have incarcerated parents, currently serving over a hundred kids to this day. I've been out for you know coming up on a year next month in January, because we're in December, still helping kids, just like that relief fund, right? We can be the solution and we can be the change we want to see. We don't need the government. What Javier Malay is doing in Argentina is freeing up the people to be the solution to their own problems. That is what can change the world. It's when we the peasants take control of our own destiny and we do not allow suffering to happen around us without doing something to aid of our own.

SPEAKER_29:

Yeah, and especially do not rely on and on the programs that are available for to help people. The programs programs don't help people. People help people.

SPEAKER_13:

Because these are funded by individual donors like this, it's a real need scenario. It's not an enablement program. It's not all of your energy bills paid for a year by the government for someone who chooses not to work in order to keep the benefits. Right. These are people aspiring to help themselves that just need a neighbor. Who is my neighbor? That's it right there. That's the Samaritan that pays for the medical bills for the man that was beaten on the street. Right.

SPEAKER_29:

That they all put their eyes. People need people who care, and programs don't care. Yep.

SPEAKER_13:

So that is what I wanted you guys to stick around to here. It's that's the pattern. This is the future. This is how we fix our problems. Find the thing you can do to make a difference. All right, guys, that's it for the public. We are gonna head over to private and finish up. We're gonna be hearing a little bit from Alex Jones about making a big difference. We're gonna be here from Mark Mullins. We're gonna be talking some Venezuela stuff here. And we're also gonna be talking about uh China is finally getting the boot when it comes to American real estate. Uh, this is coming from the labor secretary, and then we're gonna be talking a little bit more about the control grid and what's coming and why it's so important for us to be the solution. They want to implement the control grid so that they can extend the welfare state. It's that simple. You can go listen to RFK talk about every totalitarian has wanted to do this, and they will pitch it to you as the way to help that lady get her house warmed in the winter by putting on the control grid and taking your resources to redistribute. But we know the truth. They never redistribute. Okay, we're jumping over to private. We'll talk to the rest of you guys tomorrow. Bye. Okay, and now we're in private with the unoffendables. So Tucker, uh, Tucker Carlson had Alex Jones on, and he had this to say about kind of what drives him. And Alex Jones truly is one of the most persecuted man, men out there. Lawfair, you know, but he's just a he is like a dog on the bone. He's gonna say what he's gonna say. And he reveals the reason and what gives him the strength to keep pushing on.

SPEAKER_05:

And so that's really where it all is. And it comes down to your spiritual inclination. But I just recommend people personal relationship with God, praying to God, saying, I want to be good, I want to recognize truth, I want to know what truth is, I want to open myself up to you. I'm imperfect, I repent for what I've done, and I want you to cleanse me and then show me the truth, and then show me how to be a better person, and then show me after that what you what the mission is you have for me. And literally, if you do that through a process, it may take days, it may take months, may take years, then the adventure begins, and then all of a sudden you're being given like intel and stuff, like and like literally just you have to learn to go with it. It's never wrong. And it it's it's God and it's there, and it's your personal relationship. And then obviously people get this relationship, they all want to teach other people it and it's the pay it forward.

SPEAKER_13:

When you have a connection to God and truth, you end up being like that propane delivery man who finds his mission and his purpose. God will sanctify you, right? Whatever that is. It's it's amazing. Okay, now jumping over to Venezuela. I I really love that story about the propane salesman, guys. Thank you. Those of you that are in our private chat with us that stuck around to hear that, that was awesome. I hope we it could be a lesson learned. Now, one of the things with Venezuela is I firmly believe the primary reason we are down in Venezuela and basically just going hardcore at the Cartel del Sos, Trend de Agua, and Maduro himself is because they've been delivering drugs into this country. But even bigger than that is they've been interfering in democracies and other countries' elections going on 20 years. That's what it is. The number is 72, right? Yeah. But this is why I'm saying it in the private, although I'm sure I'll say it in the public. You can't. Our elected officials have benefited from the stolen elections. We have people sitting on Capitol Hill, whether they know it or not, have been selected by the cartel to do these things because at least at a minimum they have the per-election to continue the drug trafficking. You know what I mean? Who knows? Compromise, blackmail, bought off, self-interested stock options and companies that are being that are laundering money from drug cartels. Who knows the reasons?

SPEAKER_29:

And this is why it has nothing to do with party.

SPEAKER_13:

So the moment Trump comes out and says it's because of the elections, they're gonna do the whole, oh, the elections weren't stolen. Oh my gosh, another election denier. Even though Trump literally posted the interview with Laura Logan and Gary Bernstein talking about the Dominion election fraud in Venezuela, apparently mainstream media still hasn't figured out. Mark Wayne Mullins knew everything about the Venezuela election fraud. He actually helped save the country, if we are to be saved, because he made sure that the evidence about Venezuela's smartmatic and dominion got to the right people, including Susie Wiles, Donald Trump, and others. So when he gets on TV here and he says it's all about Venezuela, he knows it's or he's all about it's all about drugs. He knows it's not all about drugs. He knows it's about something else. Drugs are just the reason that makes the Democrats, right? If he says, well, we're killing drug drug dealers and narco-terrorists, the Democrats are like, but do process, because they can't argue, don't kill the drug dealer. You see what I'm saying? But if he are if they argue election, they could be like, well, that means that you're believing elections are stolen. What are you trying to do? Steal them?

SPEAKER_03:

You see what I'm saying? And so President Trump has has tried to do this uh through closing down international water. Uh they continue to ship drugs out. Now they're starting to fly them into the United States uh uh through uh through tell numbers that are being disguised as either commercial flights or private flights. And so the president's made it very clear he's shutting down the airspace. And and by the way, we gave uh Maduro an opportunity to leave. We've said he could leave and go to Russia or he could go to another country. Uh and the Venezuela people themselves have also spoken up and said they want a new leader and restore Venezuela as the country they used to be, a a very hot, prosperous country, but Maduro has absolutely rent that country. And so President Trump.

SPEAKER_13:

So we're going in just because Maduro ruined it and they're selling drugs. Yeah. Now, another counter narrative, another narrative here. This is uh Maria Salazar. She's a representative from Florida, and I can't remember her nationality. I don't think she's Cuban, I think she's Colombian. I don't know. I can't remember. Either way, um, she is a Republican, and uh, but she has been, it's interesting for last couple weeks.

SPEAKER_28:

What you're like, I don't know if she's Cuban or what, but she's a Republican. Isn't she an American?

SPEAKER_13:

If she's a Republican, uh yeah, yeah, I mean the answer is yes to that, but she has a very strong she said no, you cannot run politically speaking. Okay, so that to me is you know a strong accent, okay? She has a lovely accent. Okay. But, anyways, she has been she was really big on we're not gonna do anything to Cuba, we're not gonna do anything in Venezuela, and now the tune's changed a little bit, and now now it's about the oil.

SPEAKER_10:

She says, No, you cannot run. Politically speaking, according to this law, that other law said you had corruption charges, whatever. And that says, Okay, no problem. I'm not running as president. Let me put this nice gentleman in Mundo Gonzalo. How long before this happens? What is your prediction? Before Christmas? Inminent, imminent, imminent, before we're on the verge. You're saying within days we're gonna see she's saying regime change because this is what we did with Iran, that we gave ample notice to the commercial airlines, do not overfly the Venezuela. That's exactly what the president has done. And now it's it's this is not going to be hard. 80% of the Venezuelans voted for the opposition. You have 8 million Venezuelans in exile. We're talking about the largest reserves of oil in the world that will be doing business with the American oil companies. That is something that I made very sure that they understand. American companies in Venezuela for the next 100 years. All right, well, you are imminent in just days. Uh, Congresswoman Maria Salazar, thank God for small shit. Her eyes are huge right here.

SPEAKER_29:

Dude, she is so tall. Look at her. I know she.

SPEAKER_13:

So American oil companies in Venezuela for the next hundred years. So it's about drugs. No, it's not. Oh, we're now we're gonna go get the oil. Pump the brakes. You know what I mean? This is a narrative. It can be weaponized against us. Oh, we're just doing it for the oil because we're greedy capitalists. That can be weaponized against us, or we could actually do that, which will just lead to more chaos in the future, right? We're just hunting the problem down the road. Freedom is the solution, to quote Javier Millet. All right. China has bought a lot of land around the country, a lot of farmland, a lot of strategic land near military bases, as well as well as private property, you know, private residences and things like that. Department of Labor has ended up, or excuse me, the Department of Agriculture is trying to turn the tide.

SPEAKER_33:

But today we are taking this purpose and our American farmland back. American agriculture is not just about feeding our families, but about protecting our nation and standing up to foreign adversaries who are buying our farmland, stealing our research, and creating dangerous vulnerabilities in the very systems that sustain us. Restoring and near-storing our food and agriculture supply chain is essential for our nation's security. In coordination with the White House, the Departments of Treasury, Defense, Homeland Security, and Justice, as well as state governors, state agriculture commissioners, local, tribal, and territorial governments. Today, we announced the USDA's National Farm Security Action Plan. This plan includes seven key action items, and there's a lot of people here that I want you to hear from. So I'm not going to go one by one, but just very quickly, it's on our website. The press has got a preview of it, and we can ask some questions once we finish the main uh program. But very quickly, and perhaps the most important, the first of the seven, is securing and protecting American farmland ownership, actively engaging at every level of government to take swift legislative and executive action to ban the purchase of American farmland by Chinese nationals and other foreign adversaries, standing on the shoulders of great governors, three of whom are standing behind me, who have already been leading the way on this issue. And at the federal government level, working to do everything within our everything within our ability, including presidential authorities, to claw back what has already been purchased by China and other foreign adversaries. Additionally, working with the Treasury of the uh Secretary of the Treasury along with our Defense Department on memorandums to ensure that moving forward, there is a much more intentional look at who is buying what in this country and from where they are in the world.

SPEAKER_13:

Pretty good. I like that. I think land ownership is one of those things. It should be, I mean, I'm almost like the Mexican model where you have to be a national or a United States citizen in order to buy land here. Like I'm borderline at that level of, you know, like, nah, you got land somewhere else you can go buy. You know what I mean? Like I'm I'm borderline there. Like, I don't like the idea of farms and things like that being owned by foreigners because, you know, as we found, like with the pork industry, it all goes overseas and we pay a little more than we should. Again, with anything, if those farms are, you know, undercutting the market from legacy farms, those these new Chinese farms, etc., then as we get rid of them, food prices are going to go up for a little bit. You know what I mean? It's that you're gonna have to go through a little bit of toughness because we're there. We're we're getting the cheap goods because it's China buying it. Once we kick China out, there's the price is gonna go up, but it's more sustainable. You know, I mean, it's literally our survival. You're you know, saving a buck today to die tomorrow when you're letting them control the food supply.

SPEAKER_29:

Well, the money that you spent, it's just like it's just like uh the old buy America, you know, it's the same argument as just buy America, because when you buy America, those monies, the dollars, they get reinvested and they recirculate in the American economy.

SPEAKER_13:

As soon as you buy anything else that's not American, those dollars who now to replace that dollar, you have to print it, which it makes overall inflation. Yes, it's a deadly cycle. Yes, and that deadly cycle gets worse and worse when you start getting into the control grid and the digital currencies and you know the social credit scoring and everything like this.

SPEAKER_29:

And especially if you got to have enough money left over for all the grift.

SPEAKER_13:

Yes, which is why uh Glenn Beck had Whitney Webb on, and that's what they talked about. So let's listen to that because she's talking about Keith Ellison and how essentially, unfortunately, Donald Trump, and this echoes what Catherine Austin Fence has expressed is in the name of getting immigration out, everybody needs real ID. In the name of voter ID, everybody needs to get real ID. I'm so disgusted that the Republicans in Washington are pushing a bill in order to, you know, basically requiring voter ID for mail-in voting. Okay. So you require voter ID to register to vote or whatever, but the voter ID is supposed to be real ID. Pump the brakes, right? I don't like that at all because it's just another incentive to get real ID. It should just be ID. Don't even put real ID as an option. Like they're leading, they're putting that as the lead. Okay, so this is Whitney Webb talking about that.

SPEAKER_04:

Devil's advocate that you hear every time, every time we take a bad, bad step towards more digital surveillance. Well, I don't have anything to hide. I don't really care. I don't have anything to hide. Why, why, why is that, you know, a kindergarten answer?

SPEAKER_36:

Well, I would argue because a lot of these uh companies that are engaged in these uh mass surveillance, or the contractors really that are engaged in in mass surveillance, don't ultimately have just watching what you're doing uh as being enough for them. They're ultimately interested in things like predictive analytics and predictive policing. So, based on your behavior now and your behavior in the past, they want to use artificial intelligence to determine what you may do in the future. And in the case of predictive policing, that would be well, we've determined that you may commit a crime in the future. And so we're going to uh, you know, uh send you to uh a court-ordered physician or, you know, uh detain uh issue house arrests to protect to stop crime before it happens, essentially. Um, is where a lot of these companies, well, yeah, uh unfortunately it is that. And there's a lot of companies that have uh made um massive inroads uh in in that type of technology, even though it's been hugely discredited, um, there's several companies. I think the most notorious uh at this point is called or was called Predpole. They've since rebranded, but they were uh less accurate than a coin toss, and people were being uh you know deprived of of their liberty uh because of an of an algorithm that was hugely inaccurate. Uh and ultimately, you know, if you look in the UK, for example, some of these algorithms for facial recognition have been rolled out, even though they've been shown over there too, to be hugely inaccurate. And there's no interest in changing uh vendors, even when this inaccuracy is demonstrated. So to me, that says that their goal is to have us uh induce and be obedience by the fact that you're being washed all the time and anything you may do uh could be used against you, even if you're not doing anything wrong now. Um, an algorithm could determine that uh certain you know errant behaviors uh warrant you being added to a list of some type. And actually, Larry Allison of Oracle, who is one of the main founders of Tony Blair's uh institute, that's one of the biggest pushers for digital ID uh in the UK, said this at an Oracle uh shareholder meeting that you know we're recording and surveilling everything, and citizens will be on their best behavior because they have to, essentially, paraphrasing.

SPEAKER_04:

The fact that Donald Trump is listening to that guy is terrifying to me. I mean, he is he has put some people around him on this tech board that are not friends of freedom and liberty, they're just not. Larry Ellison is leading that pack.

SPEAKER_36:

Yeah, a lot of them are are, you know, I would argue overtly and also covertly globalists. Um, you have people uh, you know, in that network you just mentioned, uh serving, for example, on the steering committee of the Bilderberg group, uh, which is you know uh a well-known closed-door meeting uh globalist conflab. Um and unfortunately, um, you know, I think they've been, some of them anyway, have been able to characterize their policies as uh libertarian, for example, uh, even though some of those same oligarchs are on record saying that the free market is for losers, uh, if you want to get rich, build a monopoly. And build monopolies, uh, they have, unfortunately. Um, but I think again, this is what uh I was saying earlier about um the World Economic Forum. You know, there's an effort to sell this uh since they couldn't sell it from the left. Uh, the goal now is to try and sell it somehow uh from the right, uh, and to try and frame it under metrics and dialectics that'll be more appealing uh to the group that was most against these policies just a few years ago. Um, and unfortunately, you know, with AI and all of that, it potentially could happen, it could happen if people aren't aren't vigilant.

SPEAKER_13:

One of the interesting statistics was some poll came out that it was like 60% of people under 40 uh support essentially AI algorithmic pre-crime stuff.

SPEAKER_28:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13:

Because what they see is streets full of drugs, okay, all these fraud, grift, everything. And they're like, strong man, we need a strong man, someone needs to fix this.

SPEAKER_29:

I know, but you just need somebody to you know deal with the current crime. You don't need to deal with pre-crime for that.

SPEAKER_13:

But again, it it oh, and the other stat was uh Christians. Christians support this in a huge rate, which is like mind-blowing. But it's because it the pendulum's gone too far. Pendulum's gone too far. So people are like, well, I have nothing to hide. Well, you know, we're we're over here being like, right now, you know, wait until you're in Britain where your Christianity and praying at an abortion clinic becomes the reason you're getting arrested. You're like, Well, I thought I was doing something good. You know, it was shocking to me how the prosecution in my J6 case used things like being an evil scout and a good dad with a you know uh stable economic environment, which I created for myself, by the way. And they use that against me, and they were like, we have to teach him a lesson. So other good, solid Americans like this don't stand up against us. Like they pretty much said that. I just paraphrased it, but you oh yeah. I need to pull the paragraph because it was like I read that, I was like, we have lost the plot, you know. I wanted to read that to kids that were 12 years old. I'd be like, Don't join the Boy Scout, start doing drugs right now, you know. Like, go ahead and just be bad because then you'll get all the mercy and grace. It'll be like our Seattle mayor that's like background. Were they abused? You know what I mean? I don't want to throw that person in jail, but heaven forbid you live a good life. Yeah, anyways. All right, guys, thank you so much for sticking around. I like going in the private. We get a little bit of these kind of in the in the weeds topics, but you kind of got to lay them down because they come up. This control grid and the you know, AI infiltrating our bank accounts and all of our private contracts and stablecoin and CBDCs and all that. This is the future. Total transparency economically, probably a lot of transparency in your personal life. You're walking around with a spy device in your pocket, but at some point we have to take our sovereignty back, our individual sovereignty. You know, I'm not saying sovereignty citizen stuff, but literally like I have to be responsible for my decisions and I have to turn things off. I have to find my my living ability. I need to go connect with my neighbors, like that propane tank delivery guy, right? That's the solution, not the control grid. That's not the solution. The solution isn't for AI to monitor your propane tank and then dispatch and then charge you. The solution is for charity. The solution is for good people helping other people. And when you're blessed with abundance to help somebody that's in scarcity in the moment, because when you read the scriptures and you listen to Jesus' word, the poor you have with you always, because sometimes the poor are there to test the rich. That's why. This is a much bigger game we're playing on this planet. It's not just about dollars and cents, it's about what we do to each other as living beings. Because in my belief, when this life is over, you're not over.

SPEAKER_29:

Well, then when this life is over, it has nothing to do with dollars and cents.

SPEAKER_13:

It has nothing to do with dollars and cents, exactly. All right, guys. Thank you so much. We'll talk to you again tomorrow. Bye.

SPEAKER_15:

Matt, sorry, what time I lived in that castle? I'm 37. What? I'm 37, I'm not old. Well, I can't just call you Matt. You could say Dennis. I didn't know you were called Dennis. I didn't say sorry about the old woman. Supreme existing powers derives from money from the message of something called. But you can't expect to wheel supreme existing powers. Just because of water sources, all my rounds. Just because some voice has a similar mistake, we should have a system.
