From Washed-Out Highways To Power Brokers, We Trace How Culture, Policy, And Media Shape Real Lives

A flooded highway, a shaky bridge, and a mislabeled suspect—this week’s headlines weren’t just dramatic, they were revealing. We connect the dots between washed‑out infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest, a terror attack abroad, and a campus shooting that spiraled into a wrongful “person of interest,” and we ask the question that frames the hour: who actually runs the show, and how do their choices land on regular people?

We unpack the “club, not conspiracy” dynamic—shared schools, boards, and interests that push elites in the same direction without a memo—then trace how that logic shows up in politics, media cycles, and even grocery aisles. From non‑citizen voter roll flags and mail‑in universes to a map of Latin America swinging right, we examine the structures that shape elections and the narratives that harden before facts catch up. You’ll also hear a rare local win: a Michigan township that tossed its entire board over a China‑linked battery project and changed the locks the same night. Power still lives closest to home.

On the economics front, we go beyond slogans. Elon Musk’s “ship of America” metaphor becomes a practical contrast between private cooperation and creatures of the state—businesses that only function because courts, currency, and trade protection exist. Tariffs are tested with a contractor’s purchase: U.S.-made gear priced neck‑and‑neck with Mexican imports after tariffs, shifting behavior and keeping more value domestic. We visualize inflation with a two‑decade silver stack, then weigh Jerome Powell’s take on housing: shortages won’t be solved by a quarter‑point tweak. The broader point is simple: when daily costs ease and stability returns, the market for radical solutions shrinks.

Threaded through is a moral stance: judge people one by one; judge ideologies and institutions by their fruits. That lens informs our conversation on anti‑Semitism as a warning sign, Islamist supremacy claims, and the “red‑green” alignment that leverages grievance over dignity. We close with pragmatic optimism—town by town, budget by budget, language stripped of spin. If choice has narrowed where it counts, the remedy is clear action where it still matters.

Transcript

SPEAKER_16: 0:53

We're just peasants. Every one of us. You watch those old movies? You see the peasants in the background with the kings and kings walking around? Where are those people? We're those people. Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. Good morning, pony boy. We made it. We made it. Holy cow. What a busy weekend. There was like terror all over the world. There was good news. There was bad news. It was a surprisingly bitty, busy uh news weekend. And at the end of last week, you know, the Democrats released a whole bunch of new Epstein pictures. You don't do a lot of like news digging and stuff, right?

SPEAKER_19: 1:33

No, they've oh, some stuff got dropped, huh?

SPEAKER_16: 1:36

Yeah. A bunch of nothing. Okay. So the Democrats, right, we've got till the 19th to have the Epstein files released. The courts have all signed off, so we're probably gonna see a lot of stuff. Okay. So the Democrats are getting out in front of it, the Democrats on the on the committee, and they've been dropping, you know, these photos. Now they did drop some photos. Nothing that I saw was something that either I haven't seen before or was a group like a party photo, right? And that's one of the challenges with these celebrities. It's like, well, of course, celebrities have pictures with every other celebrity. These guys are narcissists.

SPEAKER_19: 2:10

You know what I mean? That's expected.

SPEAKER_16: 2:11

Yeah, you go to Palm Beach or whatever, and you're gonna, of course, take pictures with everybody hanging down in Palm Beach. Yeah. And there was a day not long ago where Republicans and Democrats could hang out together socially, right? And so it's like, okay, so they released pictures of Donald Trump when he was when he owned Miss Universe pageant, you know, taking pictures with like these women, but then they would black out their faces. And then the caption would be Trump with a bunch of minors. Well, it turns out this was like a this was like a newspaper clip from 20 years ago. And it's like, we know these are adult models, you know. So they did that a bunch. They would black out, so then people started putting out pictures of like Trump with Bill and Hillary and whatever, and black out Hillary's face. Like victim victim from two sex predators. So, anyways, it was just a big nothing burger, but it it kind of had a really it had like a 13-hour news cycle because then we got hit with a terrorist attack and another terrorist attack. We got a big Australian terrorist attack. Oh, yeah, I did see something about that. And then you had Brown University, and then yeah, so somebody walked into a classroom opening day of Hanukkah, pop, pop, pop, pop, don't have the don't have the shooter yet. Still on the news. So, anyways, we'll talk about some of that stuff, but it was a it was a pretty busy news cycle and it kind of squished the Democrats' uh little launch there. But of course, you know, when you're online, there's so many people that are just period toxic, you know. Okay, so another thing that's happening here is we are having major rain in the Pacific Northwest. Like, holy cow.

SPEAKER_19: 3:42

It's biblical.

SPEAKER_16: 3:44

I I kind of had gotten to the point where it's like, eh, we just take the rain. Like, there's you know, what's gonna happen? Well, no, apparently it's a big deal.

SPEAKER_19: 3:51

And if they call it an atmospheric river, you're like, okay, come on.

SPEAKER_16: 3:54

Back when I was a kid, we called them storms and we were fine with it. You know, it's like I actually have been saying that quite a bit. It's like, you know, that there's this slow change of our vernacular and how we describe things. Atmospheric river, I'm sure that's some meteorological term that's been around forever, but that's not what you call a storm. It's just a storm, and then there's big storms, and then there's like it's raining cats and dog storms, right? It's like, but atmospheric river is clearly in the realm of uh climate change. What you know, those people want to make these things a big deal.

SPEAKER_19: 4:26

It's something that you would conjure up for a Disney film.

SPEAKER_16: 4:29

Yeah, atmospheric river. It's like, you mean a band of clouds? So, not to make light on it because this atmospheric river has pounded the Northwest. Uh, and it's not just Washington, it's Oregon and Montana. Montana had a bridge that collapsed and uh cut off access to some community. So this is just a picture. We have two big uh highway interstate systems that run east-west in the in Washington. One of them is I-90 and one of them is Stevens Pass. Yep. And they both head over the Cascades. Well, Stevens Pass, and they both Stevens Pass is a highway, but it's it's an interstate, you know, it's a big divided highway. So it drives like an interstate. Not quite as popular as I-90, but almost. Almost, yep, almost. And it look at this, it collapsed up into the river. See this picture?

SPEAKER_07: 5:16

Whoa.

SPEAKER_16: 5:17

That's the highway. So it's closed indefinitely. This won't be opened up till sometime this summer.

SPEAKER_19: 5:22

Oh, dang.

SPEAKER_16: 5:23

Because you know that that ain't that ain't gonna be a quick well.

SPEAKER_19: 5:25

I did hear that Leavenworth had canceled some of their lights.

SPEAKER_16: 5:30

They canceled everything. They canceled everything. Leavenworth is closed right now. So when you drive on Stevens Pass, and also when you drive up by 90, it's it's a really pretty drive because there's little waterfalls that come down off the I mean it it's just granite mountains that are cut through, right? Well, these are raging torrents right now. I mean, it what normally would be like a little trick, or these are just coming down.

SPEAKER_19: 5:50

Anybody still wondering if nature can take care of itself?

SPEAKER_16: 5:53

Yeah, it will repel you. Yeah, if nature doesn't want you to live there, you're not living there. Um, one of the interesting things about it, you know, a handful of years ago we had that also landslide that was also caused by heavy rain. Yeah, the ocean. And uh, and there was nothing humanity could do to prevent that. That was like the mountain fell down. Yeah. Um, so this is a little aerial view. I just want to play this for you guys so you can take a look. This is wow. This is Snohomish. Oh, jeez. This is Snohomish. Like, just so people know. This is farmland. This is like 45 minutes from here. You know, it's just north of Seattle. It's it's in Everett, Snowhomish County. This is the city of Snohomish. They must think Noah's around. Oh my goodness. Yeah.

SPEAKER_19: 6:38

This is Snow Quality Falls, what it's supposed to look like. That's a normal snow quality film, hey. Whoa, dang! That's ripping. Oh. That's our next thing. It's impassable.

SPEAKER_16: 7:01

This is from County. Bye-bye. Now these are not scenes we see in Washington. This is like what I would expect, like Mississippi River, that kind of stuff. This is Oregon.

SPEAKER_19: 7:11

I need to turn that sound off. Yeah, we are just getting. Holy smokes. That kind of debris in the river, that's what takes out bridges. Yep. Knocks out there. Yeah, this is Duval.

SPEAKER_16: 7:23

Again, Duval's King County, right? This isn't even King County's where Seattle is. Just look, Duval is cut off. Like Duval is not a city that you would think would be cut off by floodwater. Wow. Okay. That's Duval. We're over here in Kitsap County, like high and dry. We're just rained out.

SPEAKER_29: 7:41

Oh man.

SPEAKER_16: 7:42

But that that is look at that. That's a lock jam. Yeah. Oh, just the Cowlitz River and Packwood.

SPEAKER_19: 7:50

Oh, get ready for some trees to fall.

SPEAKER_16: 7:52

Look at that. It's just, it's not.

SPEAKER_19: 7:53

Oh, there goes one.

SPEAKER_16: 7:54

Dude, those trees are 60 years old.

SPEAKER_19: 7:57

Not anymore.

SPEAKER_16: 7:58

It's at least been 60 years since there's been you know water up there. It's unbelievable. Where's the media coverage? Right here. We're doing it. Yeah, we're here. You guys are all tuned into the peasants' perspective. Anyways, really stunning. In the audio here, this this bridge is shaking, and these guys are like, should we get off this? Yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_19: 8:18

Yummies.

SPEAKER_16: 8:19

Yeah. Anyways, so it is raining hard. It was raining hard this morning. I actually had to put my windshield wipers on high. Which, by the way, for someone that lives in the northwest, we don't even always turn on our windshield wipers. No.

SPEAKER_19: 8:32

Oh, oh, oh, I still drove the speed limit. No problem there. So a funny thing, I just saw the other day. I just saw this meme. This guy gets on, he's like, ah, it's been bad rain out. And you know, I haven't seen a single umbrella.

SPEAKER_16: 8:47

So let me let me let me let our listeners, you know, because we got people down in Texas. There are some things in the Pacific Northwest that are kind of cultural things. One, it rains a lot, no umbrellas. You are not gonna see an umbrella anywhere. If you see an umbrella, that is a tourist. They do not live here. There are no umbrellas.

SPEAKER_19: 9:07

We are soon or somebody who recently moved here.

SPEAKER_16: 9:10

We wear hoodies and Patagonia down jackets. That's it. Okay. If you're if you're white collar, it's a Patagonia down jacket. If you're blue collar, it's a cotton hoodie.

SPEAKER_19: 9:20

Okay. I just realized the other day my daughter was playing with our umbrella inside. That's the only time it's ever been opened.

SPEAKER_16: 9:27

Never actually been used, yeah. So it's a prop. So no umbrellas. The other thing, too, is we drive the speed limit no matter how hard it's rained. Okay. When I lived in eastern Idaho, right, the snows would be snowpacked for six, three, four months out of the year. And you know, you drive when you drive on ice all the time, you learn how to drive on ice. So people who live there can cruise down the road. So I got pretty good at driving on the snow. I grew up kind of doing that. Well, then when I moved up here, I'd never driven in torrential rain that you can't avoid. It's not like Florida where you pull over and wait 45 minutes. No, it's like, no, this might be doing it all day, right? So uh so I remember being in the car with this guy named Paul, Paul Carrag, and he's driving at night, Bellevue, crazy rain, speeding past as if it's not raining. And I'm just like, well, now I'm that guy, right? It's like hydroplaning, not a problem. So uh yeah, drove the speed limit this morning. It was raining hard. Uh, I'm trying to think what else. Those are probably the two big things no umbrellas and don't slow down in the rain. In fact, I remember thinking uh, you know, the little turtles in the road, the reflectors. Yeah. So in Idaho, you don't have a lot of that because the snow plows pop them out. So, right? So if it's raining hard, you can't see the lanes in the road. Well, here, those reflectors, that's all you got.

SPEAKER_19: 10:51

You can't see the road, but the reflectors will give you the But it's also why they depress them in the asphalt here so they don't get clipped off.

SPEAKER_16: 10:57

So they don't get clipped off. Yeah, pretty fun. Okay, so uh uh going on with the theme of the show, as always, there's this um oh, I gotta remember. Okay, so going along with the theme of the thr show, the peasants' perspective, one of the things that we ask ourselves all the time is who's running this place, right? Who's really in charge? So this is a throwback to Dan Carlin when you know Dan Carlin's comedy was often, you know, there's one big club and you ain't in it, right? Them versus us kind of thing. And we're all divided here down here arguing tax rates, this, I, the other, when the them, the they, the and he was always railing on the government. He's always railing on the government. Well, he was interviewed and asked about, you know, what's this grand conspiracy of people who are controlling the world? There's no evidence of that. And he gives a really good explanation of exactly who the cabal is, the conspirators that are controlling our lives, who they really are and where they come from.

SPEAKER_19: 11:53

Oh, I got that's me. Okay.

SPEAKER_25: 11:56

There is no national conspiracy to buy elections and control America.

SPEAKER_24: 12:00

You don't need a formal conspiracy when interests converge. These people went to the same universities and fraternities, they're on the same boards of directors, they're in the same country clubs, they have like interests, they don't need to call a meeting, they know what's good for them. And they're getting it. And it used to be seven oil companies, there are now three, it will soon be two. The things that matter in this country have been reduced in choice. There are two political parties, there are a handful of insurance companies, there are about six or seven information. But if you want a bagel or 23 flavors, because you have the illusion, you have the illusion of choice.

SPEAKER_16: 12:36

You can have 23 flavors of bagel, but only one bagel shop, right? So that I think that's a great explanation. You don't have to have a written-down formal conspiracy. It's look, when everybody that is in charge of this place went to Yale and Harvard and you know, a couple schools and you all like pie. Yeah, and they all yeah, they all like pie, and they're all gay, and they all hate America. What do you think the net result is gonna be? A pie-eating gay cartel. Uh John Atis says, I was told Seattle buys more sunglasses because they never have one when they need one. I would agree with that. That's probably true.

SPEAKER_19: 13:14

And it it's also is that when the sun finally does come out, everybody goes, ah it's actually that's a thing.

SPEAKER_16: 13:21

I've experienced that many times where it's like, oh my goodness. I remember coming out, so I spent, you know, four months inside a room, yeah, and uh no natural sunlight, lost my tan completely. And when I finally made it to Missouri and I could go out on the yard, it was like oh I was so sunburned because I didn't have a hat, so I was peeling all over my forehead and everything. But uh yeah, the eyes, it took probably three or four weeks for me to be able to walk outside without just being in utter pain from uh the sun. Okay, Charlie Kirk was also asked the same question: who runs the world?

SPEAKER_11: 13:56

Runs the world. Who runs the world? Um, well, the scriptures say that Satan actually runs the world, uh, he is the prince of this world. Um, but currently there's an oligarchy that's really hard to pinpoint of who's actually calling the shots, and that's really what's happening in this election is that the presidency is no more. It's really kind of a shadow government of administrative experts that call the shots, that the president is basically just a Hollywood actor or actress that goes around, poses for pictures, gives produced speeches. They don't actually make any decisions, and so the form and the structure of government as the founding fathers intended is no more. He's not gonna take that, Donald Trump.

SPEAKER_16: 14:37

What are you gonna take that, Donald? I think he's not wrong. Our founding fathers would look at our federal government and be like, excuse me, you know, they'd be like, No, no, that's not what's supposed to be going on there. So he's he's not wrong, but it is it is made up, and I've said it before, you know, a thousand people, and they don't have to be coordinating, they have the seats of power and they have their apparatus that are filling in behind them, right? Tim Poole uh and Jack Pasobiak on their show had an interesting thing to say about our current cabal that runs Washington, and uh, you know, well, I'll let them speak about every time that there's going to be some major military activity or some kind of operation, right? The Pentagon orders pizza. Have you heard this before? I have heard this. Yeah, it's like a dead guy, like, something's gonna happen. They're up all night ordering pizza.

SPEAKER_20: 15:26

By the way, on on the uh on the spy agencies thing, like how many times does James O'Keefe have to just like put on a pair of glasses and he fools all of these homosexuals that are running our spy agencies? This KDR on grinders and you know what I mean. He just hops on Grinder and they're like, they're like, hi, I'm the uh I'm like this whatever CIA agent. Let's go on a date, you know? That's actually the new joke. Because remember, you remember the um the old thing used to be the uh uh the pizza monitor of the Pentagon. You could see that if the pizza plays were busy around 10 p.m., you might think there's military activity. Well, now the new one is if the gay bars have low activity around like northern Virginia, that that means like there's an operation going on. Like the they're like, wow, the gay bars are really quiet, and then suddenly it's massive bombing goes off. Like, oh my gosh, but like it's real because they'll sit there and they don't even realize it's James O'Keefe with a pair of glasses in and doing a little bit of a voice, you know, yeah, and and he kind of does that like up talk listy kind of thing, and suddenly they all fall for it. But like you're CIA officials, by the way. That's reality, dude. It's not Jack Carr. Those are the people running the intelligence agents.

SPEAKER_16: 16:37

But that's that's not Jack Carr. Yeah, that's the painful thing. Like, when you want the people that run this place, they kind of like hate us or they don't share our values. Now, I'm not saying every gay person doesn't share, you know, our patriotic values and stuff like that, but they're not the majority, they're not representative of the people. You know, every time we show when you find out that there's concentrations and clusters of them, we should be concerned.

SPEAKER_19: 17:04

I keep getting surprised on this show every time we show one of these James O'Keefe clips where the the person just doesn't know who he is. I just don't understand how you not know who he is by now.

SPEAKER_16: 17:15

Did you see the most recent one? No, it was a it was a uh Probably not he worked at a school as a black guy and he's meeting with James O'Keefe. And James O'Keefe is just wearing glasses, right? And he's like, Well, have you ever heard of this James O'Keefe guy? Yeah, he's horrible. Uh-uh. And this is after he says, I hate working for white people. Thomas Coon, Thomas uh uh Justice Thomas is a coon and Cannis Owens the coon, and he's like going off, right? And then he's like, Well, I'm James O'Keefe. What? And he gets up and runs away and trips, and it's like this big funny thing. So that happens all the time. All right, to get a little bit more serious though, you know, obviously we have talked a lot about who runs the world, and as peasants, like we have to live here. Like we don't have the capacity or nor the desire to go run the world. I I don't care what my neighbors are doing, I'm just trying to manage my house, right? And so so for us, it's good to know. It's good to just understand where we stand in all of this. And right now we've we are experiencing a red-green alliance. And we've talked about this a couple months ago. The red-green alliance is the red Marxist with the green Islamists, and Islamists very much, by the way, are Marxist. Like when I was in prison with my Al-Qaeda friend, he was Marxist, avowed, and had very cogent political thoughts. And you know what I mean? Like he could talk about competently Marxism because Marxism itself in a little vacuum is just like Alexis de Tocqueville's just pick your philosopher and use it as your lens.

SPEAKER_19: 18:48

It's he knew how to make the Kool-Aid.

SPEAKER_16: 18:50

Yes, it's the application of it that fails miserably because at the end of the day, all collectivist systems that are not family-based fail 1007% of the time. They've done the statistics. Trust the science, folks. Trust the science. Stats don't lie, okay? But that is something that we have to be concerned about because as Americans, we are part of the liberal West. But liberal, we mean we believe in the the individual person, that you have individual rights that are granted to you by your creator, and that on upon creation we are made equal, right? That is that is what the Western liberal world believes, and it defends those values, which is why it leads to democratic forms of republican forms of government, democrat democratic forms of government and republican forms of government. Marxism does not lead to democratic forms of government. Socialism uses democra democracy as a tool to communism, right? And things like that. And Islam will use any tool they can to get a majority, at which point they will then implement Sharia law. They'll throw everything that made a law. Alliances out the window. Once they get the majority in control, then they're gonna they're gonna push aside their allies that they had previously. This is fact. They've done this for what 1,500 years now? There's there's really no exception to that. So becoming aware of that, and I also want to make another clear distinction. I I thought about how to articulate this best because going forward, there's going to be a lot of opportunity for people to call you or me a bigot, a racist, or any any kind of label.

SPEAKER_19: 20:30

Here's the peasant's been called all that.

SPEAKER_16: 20:31

Yeah, we've already been called all that, but here's the peasant's perspective, right? I will accept anybody on a one-on-one basis. Anybody. Right? I will not judge you on your immutable characteristics. I will not judge you on the condition of your birth. I will judge you purely on the decisions you have made that have led you to this point to where we are interacting, one-on-one. Because I'm going to address the man, the woman, the person. If you come to me with a tribal label and you affiliate with a group, I have the right to judge the group. Oh yeah. I don't have the right to judge a Muslim, but I have the right to judge Islam. Does that make sense? Each Muslim, just like I was born in a religious faith, right? But you got to take me when we're one-on-one as an individual. That's liberalism. But liberalism does not mean I can't go, hey, Islam, bad, communism, bad. You, an individual from a communist country, let's talk. Oh, well, I'm a communist. Okay, well, now I'm gonna assign the label to you because you've self-assigned it. Does that make sense? That's incredibly important for us as peasants to understand because we are the bulwark that defends our society, our communities, our family, and our culture. And as a Western society, especially an American one, we are very accepting. We are a melting pot. We'll accept all different forms of beliefs and everything because the idea is that we are all going to engage individually, one-on-one. That's the whole point. In the Constitution, law and equity, equity is the interaction of men with men, right? Things should be fair. The golden rule will apply no matter what your faith is. Stepping back, if we're gonna see a whole group, at least for me going forward, I have the right to judge group labels. Okay. You cannot weaponize my virtue to take you individually one-on-one against me when you come with me with a group label, right? If you want to label yourself as black, okay, then I'm gonna judge you based on all of the black culture. If you're gonna label yourself as Islam and defend it all, then okay, well, then you're in that group. And that applies with any other group. One-on-one, again, Muslims are the believers in Islam, Islam is the religion. I don't have a problem with Muslims. It's Islam that we struggle with. Does that make sense? So President Trump was asked about this thing because he also pointed out the same problem with Islam.

SPEAKER_37: 22:56

Do you think Islam is at war with the West?

SPEAKER_26: 22:58

I think Islam hates us. There's something, there's something there that there's a tremendous hatred there. There's a tremendous hatred. We have to get to the bottom of it. There is an unbelievable hatred of us in Islam itself. You're gonna have to figure that out. Okay? You'll get another Pulitzer, right? But you're gonna have to figure that out. But there is a tremendous hatred. And we have to be very vigilant, we have to be very careful. We can't allow people coming into this country who have this hatred of the United States and of people that are not Muslim.

SPEAKER_37: 23:38

I guess the the question is: is there war between the West and radical Islam, or is there war between the West and Islam?

SPEAKER_26: 23:44

It's radical, but it's very hard to define. It's very hard to separate because you don't know who's who.

SPEAKER_21: 23:49

Last night you told CNN, quote, Islam hates us. Did you mean all 1.6 billion Muslims? I mean a lot of them. I mean a lot. Do you want to clarify the comments at all?

SPEAKER_25: 24:00

Well, you know, I've been watching the debate today, and they're talking about radical Islamic terrorism or radical Islam, but I will tell you there's something going on that maybe you don't know about, maybe a lot of other people don't know about, but there's tremendous hatred, and I will stick with exactly what I said to Anderson Cooker.

SPEAKER_16: 24:19

There's tremendous hatred from Islam towards the West. Islam is a political ideology masquerading as a religion. It really is. Right? And again, you know, our virtue doesn't even want to uh cast stones or attack religions or anything like that, but we're past that. We're past that. You know why? Because they're behind enemy lines here, or they're behind they're behind uh our lines. This is Ilan Omar, who of course has become almost like a meme of Islamic invasion of America. Imagine being imagine having someone at the House of Representatives.

SPEAKER_19: 24:57

Have you ever watched uh SpongeBob SquarePants? On occasion. She reminds me of Squidward.

SPEAKER_16: 25:04

Yeah, I guess.

SPEAKER_19: 25:07

Now you'll never unsee it.

SPEAKER_16: 25:11

She reminded me of Squidward. Oh my goodness. Oh man. Yeah, she's kind of got an attitude like Squidward, too. That's kind of funny. Okay, so this is representative Ilan Omar, who again kind of represents this Islamic takeover. Now, I want to point some things out here. When I was when I was in um when I was in prison with my Al-Qaeda friends, and there were a couple, quite a few other Muslims too, that we would talk quite often. And uh, but he was like Pakistani devout, right? Like I mean, he bought into it. The fact that they accused him of being Al-Qaeda, he was Al-Qaeda adjacent in his belief system. He was not Al-Qaeda, at least according to him, but he was definitely like fully support of their activities, okay? Okay. Let him into hot water, clearly. So representative uh, but one of the things he said, because Dearborn, Michigan voted for Trump. And how did that happen? Well, they don't really approve of Trump, and but Trump's made a lot of inroads in the SUNY world, you know, that kind of thing. But what it ultimately came down, and I said, one of the biggest political miscalculations the Democrats ever made was assuming that they could just get the Islamic vote. And here's what he told me. He said, in Islam, they will not allow a woman to lead the congregation. You can advise the congregation, but you cannot lead it. He says, So you can have a representative like Ilan Omar or any others, but they cannot lead. A woman cannot lead a man, she can advise a man, right? And so that he's like, they won't vote for president on that basis alone, even if Trump is, you know, not their whole cup of tea. Now, being fair, a lot of Muslims are not committed to Islam, just like there's a lot of Christians that aren't really committed to Christianity, right? They're commercialists, they're there just to make money and just to have a good life and raise their kids. I'm all for it. Doesn't bother me one bit. But here is someone who really touts the Islamic line and really does not like America.

SPEAKER_12: 27:05

To be coming out uh of our country. I mean, I grew up uh in in a dictatorship, and I don't even remember ever witnessing by the way, her dad was the dictator.

SPEAKER_16: 27:18

I'm serious, her dad was the dictator. She grew up in a dictatorship, her dad was the dictator. They fled Somalia because Somalia deposed her family.

SPEAKER_12: 27:28

Don't even remember ever witnessing anything like that. To have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world to now be turned into uh one of the, you know, one of the worst countries where the military are in our streets um without any regard for people's constitutional rights. Um while our president's spending millions of dollars prompting himself up um like a failed dictator with a military parade. Um it it it it is really shocking, and it should be a wake-up call for all Americans to say this is not the the the country we we were born in, this is not the country we believe in, this is not the country our founding fathers imagined, uh, and this is not the country that is supported by our constitution, our ideals, our values, and we should all collectively be out in the streets rejecting.

SPEAKER_16: 28:27

I promise you, Thomas Jefferson, when he sent them to go take care of the Barbary pilot, pirates was not envisioning one day Ilan Omar would be a representative. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_19: 28:37

This is the result. I have a hard time listening to that.

SPEAKER_16: 28:39

Yeah, it's hard. This is the result. So yesterday in Australia on uh what's called Bondi Beach, the Jewish community down there apparently goes down to Bondi Beach every first day of Hanukkah, and that's kind of where they kick off their little celebration. I don't think there was there, we know there wasn't exclusively Jews there. It's a public beach. It's not a it's not a Jewish beach by any means, just they gathered. Well, two men open fire on these on those people. Now, Australia has some of the strictest gun laws, right? They did a whole confiscation thing, so it's very difficult to get anything semi-automatic in Australia. Now, there are a lot of guns in Australia, more than before they had the ban, but they're all bolt-action hunting rifles. They're not concentrated around where this happened. So this shooting went on for 20 solid minutes. These two men just standing in the open shooting. I think they uh if the numbers are 39 people wounded, 11 killed or something. Where's the cops? Oh no, they were standing around the corner scared for 11 minutes and failed to respond. They're on video terrified to respond. Okay, because they don't have training on how to use guns and stuff like that. I don't know who knows what's going on there. But yeah, where are the cops? This couldn't happen in most American communities. If you go live fire like that, I mean, even if you were to go down to the mall, good chance one in 10 people walking in the mall are armed, right? You can still carry culture. You never know who's armed around you. No, right? So this kind of this absolutely, I don't think could go online. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_19: 30:00

So if you're a little schemish, warning people, we uh we have to show this.

SPEAKER_16: 30:06

Okay because this is the end result of losing your culture, of losing your society, and allowing religious tribalism or secular tribalism to allow you to break the golden rule to not do unto others what you don't want to do.

SPEAKER_19: 30:24

Okay, we're not really trying to be sensational here, but we're gonna show some stuff that might be.

SPEAKER_16: 30:28

For about 30 seconds, it's a 24-second clip. This is what happens after.

SPEAKER_17: 30:41

This is after the shooters just hesitate.

SPEAKER_16: 30:46

This is where the peasants, you know, everybody wants to watch the shooter, everybody wants to see the guy that disappeared the shooter and live the hero life. But this is now what these people are gonna have to deal with. These families are altered forever. There was little children that were killed, there were grandparents that were killed, every shot and injured. That we have to live here. We have to live in these places after these atrocious events happen, right? It is tragic. I don't want to show the shooter. One of the interesting things about the Australia thing is the guy who so the guy's standing on this little bridge kind of up above the beach, and he's he's got a bolt action rifle, and he's military trained. I mean, he's like pew pew pew pew. It's a sniper rifle, right? It's uh he's well trained. Um, and uh another Muslim man who's a shopkeeper nearby runs over to him, grabs the gun, grabs it from him, turns around and sheets him.

SPEAKER_19: 31:43

Oh, good.

SPEAKER_16: 31:44

Yeah, but it was a Muslim man who took out this this Muslim that was doing that, right? So again, emphasizing that's why we have to take them individually. Yeah, but if you're going to use this cloak of Islam, well, okay, well, that's what Islam leads to. There's a 1500 plus year history. Is there one non-violent takeover when they finally take over a country? You know, and now sometimes when we talk about this, we call it anti-Semitism because Islam is very anti-Semitic, okay, generally. And anytime that you have this hatred towards a tribe, right, that that that leads you to act on individual actors that may or may not be, you know, just because you're going to see those results. This is John Fetterman who understands clearly, like we're being stupid about the way that we're um letting in Palestinians and because they hate Jews. And it's a bellwether, right? Now we can talk all day long about what we the Jews do or don't do. When I say the Jews, I'm talking about the political nation of Israel and their government. Okay. I'm not talking about every Jew everywhere, please. Okay. But when we're talking about Israel and anti-Semitism, it's a bellwether. People who were going to paint Jews with the sins of the world typically don't really, you know what I mean? Like they're a little culty. And so that's that's why when you see anti-Semitism, once the Jews are gone, then it's anti-Christian, anti-J. It just it just starts cascading, right? Because any group that says, Well, I'm anti-that, well, then you're supremacist because somehow you believe your tribe is superior. Does that make sense? So that's what John Fetterman's pointing out here.

SPEAKER_14: 33:26

And you always have to you know, those things kind of penetrate, and now uh so that's where we're at. I mean, how can't we just defend, you know, a lot of these views and now just call it what it is? Anti-Semitism is a worldwide scourge and it's constantly demonstrated to be deadly, and it keeps manifesting itself in these things just like what's happened now in Australia, too. That's right.

SPEAKER_30: 33:51

And and Senator, a moment ago, Lindsay Graham was with me, your colleague from South Carolina who said uh a warning to anyone who is trying to say that there should be a Palestinian state. If you create a Palestinian state, what will you get? Or more killings of Jews.

SPEAKER_14: 34:07

Do you agree? Absolutely. It's a it's an absolute betrayal uh for Israel and for the worldwide Jewish community, like whether it's France or Australia or any of these nations, our Western allies now calling for a two-state uh solution when Hamas refuses to disarm and are actively trying to kill uh Jews. Um, I I can't imagine why anybody would would do that at this point. Um, that is not the appropriate reward after 10-7 and this thing. So I absolutely support Israel's uh continue to take out uh leaders from Hamas and Hezbollah as well, too. They need to be held accountable, and I do hope they can work together with the American forces in Syria to take out the people responsible for taking two American lives in Syria just yesterday now, too.

SPEAKER_16: 35:03

Okay, when we talk when the left, someone a Democrat on the left talks about Islam, they'll almost always talk about anti-Semitism. That's their buzzword for Islam. Notice how everything he said there, well, they take over here, they take over there, right? It's the anti-Semitic as a perfect example when the Islam runs out of Jews to persecute, they come for the Christians next. Look at Nigeria, right? Massacres happening over in Nigeria, absolute massacres, because there's no Jews to fight, so they just pick the next thing. And that's that's exactly what we have to be aware of here, right? Now, within the Islamic world, there's kind of three factions there's the extremists, the Wahhabiists, the uh, you know, the al-Qaeda's the ISIS, the caliphate pushers. There's the extremists. There's the criminals, right? The people that are really just there because, like any criminal, they're just criminals. And then there's the liberals. And by liberals, we mean the ones that are kind of awakening. The ones that are awakening are UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, these uh Lebanon, these are going through major reforms, very secular, well, secularizing, right? And and want to do business with the world and don't need to share, don't feel the urge to spread. Does that make sense? So that's where Trump finds his allies. That's the Abraham Accords, right? It's listen, you those of you that share liberal values, there is a renaissance happening in Islam. It's kind of being spearheaded by MBS over in Saudi Arabia and by the UAE, who have completely embraced capitalism, not Marxism, right? They are helping lead the charge. And we should ally with them to the extent that we can support them in helping tamp down their extremism. And that's been the interesting thing, is those nations have been warning for 15 plus years that the extremism that we have in our country, please don't think it's coming from us, right? Like they don't support it. That was part of uh Saudi Arabia's big purge four or five years ago. It was like, we want to just eliminate this. They started giving women driver's license, they wanted to change the culture so that the people of Saudi Arabia weren't constantly being led away by these extreme imams because the previous leaders in Saudi Arabia, the king, was kind of letting the imams run society. Does that make sense? Well, he just collected tax revenue. Well, MBS is like, we can't do that anymore. Now they just have entertainment movies. It's like really liberalized. This is Christopher Hitchens, notorious atheist, who's talking about resisting Islam. And this was, I don't know, 25 years ago that he said this, but the advice is as true today as ever. And wouldn't it have been great if some of our leaders had taken this advice back then?

SPEAKER_06: 37:43

As a Sufi Muslim, I'm very ruffled by the title of your book. Did you have to settle for the uh literal negation of Allahu Akbar?

SPEAKER_09: 37:52

Yes. I thought yeah, thank you for that question. Thank you. Every Allahu Akbar reminds people that we're in a very serious struggle with a very depraved religion. It's very clear to me that the most toxic form that religion takes is the Islamic form. The horrible idea of wanting to end up with Sharia with a religion governed state. And then the best means of getting there is jihad, 3 war, and that Muslims have a special right to feel aggrieved enough to demand this. I think it's absolute obscene wickedness, and I think the religion is nonsense. God speaks to some illiterate merchant warlord in Arabia, and he's able to write this down perfectly, and it contains the answers to all human. Don't don't waste my time.

SPEAKER_06: 38:39

But you're saying this thing about As a filthy Muslim, I'm very ruffled by the title of your book.

SPEAKER_16: 38:46

So he he goes on to talk about you've got to start resisting. He's like, you know, what's happening in in England and other countries is in the name, you know, your priests and your priest clash, your clergy, are weaponizing virtue, weaponizing the turn the other cheek and all that stuff, and they're opening the door and they're letting the barbarians in, is the way he described it. And this is what that looks like. So this is from Chicago, okay. This was just a just a little while ago. Unfortunately, um, this was just like a couple days ago. Maybe it's gonna throw a date on here. Hopefully, I'm not wrong. But this is Chicago, okay. This is Chicago University, and this is one of these uh, you know, Muslim religious or Islamic religious scholars. Unfortunately, these days we don't repeat this enough, or we don't Oh, this is November 14th, 2025. Men of Uma on YouTube, Chicago Islamic Scholar. This is in the United States of America.

SPEAKER_19: 39:40

What is men of Uma? What is that?

SPEAKER_16: 39:42

It's like uh just some group. I don't know what Uma means, but I'm looking at this and I'm like, it's their, you know, young men's group or something. Yes, that whatever their men of Uma, okay. This is in Chicago, all right, state of Illinois, country of the United States of America, right?

SPEAKER_03: 39:58

Translated. We don't have this. This Aqida concept confirmed in our minds that Islam did not come to coexist. Islam is the Islam Layya and Islam Ya'alu and Islam is raised high and nothing is raised above Islam. We can't think of Islam that it came to live with these other religions in the sense that Islam is a religion amongst those religions, and they have a share with the truth, and they have a share of justice, and they have a share of you know this worship of Allah, the correct worship of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Islam came to correct all of that, Islam came to remove the oppression of all those religions, and it is the only truth, and it is the only way to justice.

SPEAKER_16: 40:50

They believe they're superior. And so, if you go study the Quran, there's a couple different ways that the warlord Muhammad describes how to take over infiltration, outright conquest, and all of those methods have been used for 1500 years now, time and time again. Right? These guys know how to play the long game, as they said in Afghanistan, you might have the bullets, but we have the time. Right now, in our country, clearly we are going through some kind of breakdown, and this ties into that red-green alliance. The communists have been trying to take over our country for a long time, going all the way back to post-Civil War. Okay. After the United States Civil War in the late 19th century, Marxism and Hegel and these philosophers coming out of Germany created this, you know, political concept of Marxism, Hegelian dialectic in order to advance the cause of the leader, you know, with a lot of Machiavellian principles applied. And they started to try it, right? They started to try it with the Paris Commune. And then eventually the Bolsheviks, who were students of Marx and Engels, although Marx and Engels never really made it, you know, they weren't around for the for the um Russian Revolution, but 1913 we had the Russian Revolution. That same you know, thought process, that collectivist thought process found roots in the United States during the Civil War with Abraham Lincoln and his cabinet. Okay, because they were like, no, it's not a bunch of separate states. Now we're all in this together. They wanted the federal government, they wanted it all in. Now that might have served the purpose at the time, but step forward 20, 30, 40 years, and then we get the Federal Reserve. We went from the Gilded Age where every man's a banker to the Federal Reserve. There's one bank, okay, and then all the other subsidiaries. You just controlled the economy. That's that's communist. We have one source of money. You mean my gold, no matter how many ounces I have, I can't pay my taxes with it, I can't buy groceries with it. I'm forced to use a centralized common currency. That's communism. 1913. Now keep in mind, this is the same year the Bolsheviks took over the Soviet Union. And then what did we also get? The taxation scheme to go to pay the interest on the collective debt of the United States. So now I have my individual debt, but I also have some share of your debt. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, that's communism. Now, the Soviet Union ran its course, it failed. A couple other countries tried communism, they've failed. But in the United States, because of the genius of our founding fathers, it took a little bit longer to stick. So by the time you've got the 1930s, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who's not a communist, but he allied with the communists, right? We fought on the communist side, Russia side, twice. World War I, World War II. They weren't really big enemies then. They were our allies. It wasn't until post-World War II when we took over for Britain with the Britain Woods Agreement to enforce the trade routes and became the world reserve currency that we really became genuine enemies with Russia. Because why? Because they were another uh hegemonic or uh, they were another, we were in a bipolar world and they were at the other end of it, right? And so that's when we started to compete with the Cold War and started, some people started to recognize communism as bad. But many saw it was two communist systems, and I'm using communist, you know, no one in America wanted to call it communism. They wanted to call it liberalism. They rebranded communism as liberal liberalism, right? But you started to see this collectivism just advance, advance, advance, advance. Well, you get to this point now, and it's really hard not to, we're just inundated with it, right? Like it's like why do we have HOAs, communists? Why do we have zoning codes, communists? Okay, it's all there. And what's also started to happen is because of that red-green alliance, you've got the communists who really want to do away with the constitution. And how do you do with the do away with the constitution? Frankly, you have to vote it away. Okay, you have to vote it away. And then you've got the green who are like, yeah, we'll come in and we'll help, we'll help you build the masses to vote it away. Oh, we're good at this. The end the the enemy of our enemy is our friend until the enemy is defeated, and then we turn on our friend. Okay, that is the pattern. Tail as old as time. So, what's happened the last four years? Do you know how dramatic the electoral shift in America has been? Do you know how dramatic this red-green alliance was in the last four years? This is huge. Pay attention to these numbers.

SPEAKER_40: 45:36

Fox News ran this graph yesterday. Non-citizen social security numbers issued during the Biden administration. 270,000 in 21, over 590,000 in 22, over 960,000 in 23, over 2.1 million in 24. Gee, I wonder why that escalated so much in 24. Because what are you probably more likely to legitimately be able to claim if you've got a social security card?

SPEAKER_08: 45:59

Citizenship voting.

SPEAKER_40: 46:00

Uh-huh. By the way, that's more people. The Biden administration gave more non-citizens social security cards in four years than live in our home state of Iowa. If we just took the amount of people they gave those to in 2024, that's more people than live in Nebraska, Idaho, West Virginia, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Maine, Montana, Rhode Island, Delaware, South Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska, DC, Vermont, and Wyoming. It would be the 39th largest state in the Union. Just the amount of people, non-Americans, they gave Social Security cards to last year. Wow. Oh, jeez.

SPEAKER_19: 46:39

I don't know. I've got no comment.

SPEAKER_16: 46:42

It's hard, isn't it? It's like, huh?

SPEAKER_19: 46:45

It's like hard to wrap your head around it.

SPEAKER_16: 46:47

It's hard to wrap your head if you know just the people they imported in the last four years would be the 39th state. Bigger, you know, the 39th largest state. Jeez. That is huge. Most states don't have more than a, you know, I mean, Idaho's like 1.5 million or something.

SPEAKER_19: 47:02

I mean, I'd be okay with that if we called Canada America or something.

SPEAKER_16: 47:06

Stuff them up in the around the Arctic Circle. We got lots of open space. We're homesteading in the Yukon. Yes. Our new Siberia. Wouldn't that be great? Now, Donald Trump was asked about election fraud this weekend. Now we cover this election fraud thing, you know, as closely as anybody that's like a niche, you know, election fraud investigator. But Donald Trump's um, he's gonna address kind of some of the evidence of election fraud. This is all election fraud. Everything from the Dominion voting machines to the Trende Agua takeover of America to the open borders. This is all election fraud. This was all designed to vote out the Constitution, to change the electoral landscape in the United States of America. 100%. Right? It wasn't one nefarious person, although I'm sure there are a few key players that had oversized.

SPEAKER_19: 47:58

This wasn't a grand design by Joe Biden.

SPEAKER_16: 48:00

It wasn't a brand design by Joe Biden, exactly. Who knows if Joe Biden knew about the little server room in Serbia that was flipping votes, right? They probably really thought they had it. So that's where when this is what Trump is saying is we've we've discovered all this evidence of election fraud, and it's going to be coming out in truckloads.

SPEAKER_27: 48:17

That's all they're doing. They're good at cheating in elections, very good at cheating. They're professionals at cheating because we won in 2016 by a lot. The election was rigged in 2020. We have all the ammunition, all the stuff, and you'll see it come out. It's coming out in truckloads. And California's election, New York also, but California, more than any other place, is so rigged. It's such a rigged election. You know, we won the Hispanic vote. So a lot of people say Republican wouldn't win California, but I won the Hispanic vote. I won in Miami. Think of that. In Miami, I won the Hispanic vote. Along the Texas border, I won every single city or town touching the Texas border, and they're 85 to 90 percent Hispanic. We won the Hispanic vote. If the vote in California was legitimate, which it's not, they have 38 million ballots, everything is mail-in voting. They mail out 38 million ballots and they come in. Where the hell do they go and where do they come from? It's a rigged election in California because we would win California by a lot. And again, they feel they have the advantage with Hispanic. They don't.

unknown: 49:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16: 49:28

Now, a lot of us have intuitively sensed that, right? It's like, oh, where are these liberals? You know, like here, it's like, okay, I get it, but I mean, are we really is like the population of downtown Bremerton, that little weirdo district we have, is it so big that it it outbalances the whole North Kit, you know, the whole port South Kitts app where there's a bunch of Republicans out there in Port Richard or something? Well, this is what's going on. This is Arizona, and now again, the 2020 litigation has not stopped. Now that Harmie Dillon's on the job, she's suing like a bunch of states, including Washington, for voter rolls. They've got evidence in Michigan. This scenario right here repeated itself in all the swing states in 2020 in 2020. Okay. Now we know. We know for a fact. Listen to this.

SPEAKER_02: 50:13

Now, this new data set, as they're calling it, brings the total number of people impacted to 218,000 instead of the 98,000 we first reported. These people were mistakenly marked as having provided documentary uh proof of citizenship. And Arizona Voter Registration Database now has correctly flagged the impacted individuals. Election officials say they will contact the affected Arizonans with information regarding their status after the general election. That means for now the Arizona Supreme Court's ruling is going to say that impacted voters, that includes all of them, will still be able to vote. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_16: 50:52

218,000 non-citizen registered voters provided no evidence of citizenship, and they're on the voter rolls. And once they're on the voter rolls, you can print ballots, you can stuff ballots, you can adjust algorithms. It's okay. We flagged them.

SPEAKER_19: 51:06

We flagged them. It's okay. We flagged them.

SPEAKER_16: 51:08

We flagged them. Yeah, you just have to keep it within the universe of voter registered voters, right? When Donald in uh when Donald Trump lost the election, this is what the world map looked like. Okay, so this right here is left-wing governments are in red and right wing governments are in blue. Why they inverted the colors, I don't know. So in 2023, right, after Lula and Brazil was inaugurated, this is what the Western Hemisphere looked like. From top to bottom, Uruguay, Paraguay, is that Bolivia? Bolivia and El Salvador were right wing. Everything else was left wing. Now, fast forward here to 2026, following governments sweating in um uh swearing in in Chile and Honduras. What's something that has changed from 2024 to this? Because last last night, just for the record, last night in Chile, the right wing government just got power. Oh. Okay. We've got Argentina, you've got uh uh Ecuador, right?

SPEAKER_19: 52:11

Ecuador's up higher, isn't it?

SPEAKER_16: 52:13

Man, I know all these Paraguay got Uruguay here, Paraguay, Bolivia, whatever. I used to be real, I used to I could eat all of these. I can't even believe I'm stuttering here while we're live. Okay, but in two years, what has changed in two years? I don't know. Is this purely the pendulum swinging? In my opinion, this is they took care of an election problem called Dominion. Oh, that's my opinion. Okay, okay, because this is pretty significant. It's pretty significant now. Hopefully, right, uh, with what's happening in Venezuela, Venezuela will fall, they'll immediately become right wing because that lady from uh lady's gonna be in charge, and Cuba will fall with Venezuela. So this could be like, you know, monumental time in history for sure. For sure. And it's really important because America holds up the world. This is Elon Musk uh sitting with Donald Trump. This is prior to Trump being elected. I think it was just prior to Trump being elected, and they're talking about the ship America and how important it is that it stays, you know, solvent and and providing support to the world with our value system because our value system does allow individuals to be individuals. This is like a big deal. And one of the points that Elon Musk is making here is to his cohorts, other uber wealthy rich people, the Soros, all these other, you know, other people in the world that have been throwing money at left-wing causes and kind of just the way I look at it is they're trying to pay pay tribute to the barbarians. Right? Well, just let me keep operating. Here's a little bit of, you know, they're just kind of trying to do that. Well, Elon's like, it's a dead end.

SPEAKER_33: 53:41

As the president said, like, there's a lot of rich people out there they should be caring more about the country. Because the reason they should be careful about more about countries. If America falls, what do you think is gonna happen to your business? Do you think are we gonna be okay if the ship of America sinks? Of course not. What I'm doing here, what the president's doing is it's just long-term thinking. The ship of America must be strong. The ship of America cannot sink. If it sinks, we all sink with it. It's it's essential that America be healthy, that America's economy be strong. America is the central pillar holding up Western civilization. That pillar must be strong. If that pillar falls, the whole roof comes crashing down. Including his ships. There's no place to hide. Including his ships. No place to arrive. Nothing. There's nothing left. As the president said, like there's a lot of rich people have to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_19: 54:27

I think that this concept can't be overstated. And um I've been thinking about this a lot. And what Elon's saying there is something that I think that we're not understanding. It's something that he sees that we can't. And I'm trying to see it and help me help me here. So what he's trying to say, and tell me if I'm wrong here, but if America fails, the whole reason that your business will be affected if America fails is because the reason that your business exists and is able to persist is because of the economy of our country keeping um business and trade lines open. And the reason that those are staying open is because there's this massive amount of credit that allows goods and services to be traded on credit, and the credit is so massive that needs to be there to make those channels and those lines stay open. If that massive credit is gone, if America is gone, those trade lines disappear. Who trades billions and billions of dollars worth of product on credit that doesn't exist?

SPEAKER_16: 55:39

I think that's a good point, right? It's the banking. I look at it more of it's simply this your business, there's creatures of the private, you and I form a little partnership, we go out and shovel some snow for the neighbor, just you and I did it, government's not involved, right? But we didn't require the government to help us do that.

SPEAKER_19: 55:56

Yes, and this is why I'm having trouble because at that level it can still operate. Yes, and it will. But if there if there are markets for ice cream somewhere, but the ice cream can't get there, those transactions don't happen. So that's perfect.

SPEAKER_16: 56:10

The Supreme Court has clearly created a division between the private and the public. Okay. So they and and they call it this. They call it the Supreme Court used this phrase, creature of the private. People in private association created an entity or a partnership or something and went out and did something, and it requires no force of law. It's handshake agreements, even if there's a contract, it's private. There's no government involvement. Okay. But we self-enforce it, right? So we have to operate in some normally in situations like that. It's got to be a peaceful environment. Then you have creatures of the state. All of your corporations are incorporated by the state. They're your idea, but the government, you know, gives you the LLC, S-corp, C Corp, all these things, public corporations. The government guarantees their right to exist. They exist at the will of the government. And the government has an entire naval fleet to make sure that your goods and services and your contracts are executed. They have an entire court system when contracts are not executed properly, that you can compel performance through a court system, rules-based order, law and order, right? So when Elon's saying there is like, look, if America falls, all of a sudden you can't do transactions. Do you think that Lula down in Brazil, the socialist communist, cares about your little private business? Not one iota. As far as those guys concern, it is the state. Right? So what Elon's saying there is, hey, Jeff Bezos, it's all nice, but because the state owns your property, if America falls and it becomes, you know, America with the K, like the communists wanted to spell it, right? Your whole business is no longer yours. It's now a product of the state. Go look at what they did in Russia. Oh, you've had this factory in your family for 50 years. That's amazing. Great. Bye.

SPEAKER_19: 58:02

Thank you.

SPEAKER_16: 58:03

See ya. I remember when I was I was uh in Bremerton and I I popped into a gas line that I was digging through and you know had to shut down the neighborhood, and the gas company had to come out. So I spent a lot of time just sitting on my trailer waiting for all the emergency response vehicles, right? And the neighbor comes out and talked to me. Guy's like 95 years old, looks like he's 65. Okay. But he comes out and he's got a little bit of an accent. And he's like, Yeah, I'm a I uh I came here after World War II from Germany. It's like, oh, interesting. He's like, Yeah, my dad was a uh factory, he owned a he owned a mine in Germany.

SPEAKER_18: 58:36

Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_16: 58:37

And he said, My dad was, you know, we were a wealthy family, all this kind of stuff. And then he goes, and then the fascists got in charge and they took over the factory. And they were like, Oh, well, you can still own it and run it and do all the work of running it, but he got the same salary as a factory worker and was forced at the barrel of a gun to continue to run the factory for essentially no wages. And then, of course, what happens to all of his private property? It all gets redistributed. And by the end, right, like 1942, he said, before Germany ended the war, his extremely wealthy family, in the name of the state, right, had been basically decimated. And he, you know, which is what caused him to immigrate later. And he was just like, yeah, they just take it from you. You can spend generations building something, and the moment 50% plus one want to take it, it's over, right? Which is why we want a Republican form of government, by the way. But remember that mindset, this mindset of taking over, of saying that the existing system is wrong, right? Here we have been talking about Islam and the danger Islam faces to our community. But we have to remember this red-green alliance. So this is Fiona Hill. Fiona Hill worked at the Brookings Institute. Fiona Hill is deeply involved in the Russia Gate scandal. She testified at Donald Trump's impeachment hearing. She's the one who said Donald Trump can name his son Baron, but he will is not a king and can grant no title of nobility. Blah, you know, that one of these people. But some people take her kind of seriously. Clearly, you know, she has some influence. She thinks the conservatives hate you and want to kill you.

SPEAKER_38: 1:00:12

Talk broad themes, you have to boil it down to nuts and bolts, and you have to be pithy. What do I mean by pithy? How about this? Republicans want to kill your kids. It's actually true. If you're gonna oppose vaccinations, if you're gonna stop breakthrough medical research, if you're gonna allow minors and all sorts of people to get semi-automatic weapons, which they use to shoot up schools, well then you are responsible for kids' health and death, unfortunately. It has to be that simple and that direct, and it has to be over and over and over again.

SPEAKER_16: 1:00:44

Okay, well, let's advise and be pithy. You want to kill my kids because you're opening the door to Islam in the West. You want to kill my kids because you're trying to weaponize my virtue that I'll turn the other cheek and I'll be accepting and not judgmental to overrule our electoral process and flood us with people who don't share our values or any sense of private property around here because they're not invested. You're trying to kill us, Fiona. Let's be pithy about it.

unknown: 1:01:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_16: 1:01:11

Here's Jasmine Crockett. Again, let's be pithy about it. Jasmine Crockett is like, hey, you know why Americans are so upset about illegal immigration? You want to know why, Ron? It's because it's because she needs, she needs, she wants you and I, white America, conservative America, to understand the role of immigrants in our society. This is stunning.

SPEAKER_39: 1:01:34

So I have to go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country or the fact that we are a country of immigrants.

SPEAKER_18: 1:01:42

Right, right.

SPEAKER_39: 1:01:43

The fact is, ain't none of y'all trying to go and farm right now.

SPEAKER_16: 1:01:50

No, I just gotta say, not a lot of people want to go and farm right now has nothing to do with anything other than regulation, lack of ability to make profit. Go be a cattle rancher so you can sell your cattle to the five cartel companies that do all the cattle butchering. Yeah, you know, go deal with the FDA US. None of that is why. You want to grow some soybeans right now? Yeah, none of that is why people don't want to get informed. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_39: 1:02:14

Okay, so I'm like, raise your raise your hands. You're not we done picking cotton. So bring in the immigrants to pick the cotton.

SPEAKER_19: 1:02:30

Oh, brother.

SPEAKER_39: 1:02:31

We are. You can pay us enough to find a plantation.

SPEAKER_16: 1:02:35

So I'm be pithy about it. Well, the reason we want to get rid of the immigrants is because we want to send the blacks back into the cotton fields.

SPEAKER_19: 1:02:44

How old is she? Like 25. Huh? How old is she? She's probably she's our she's my age. Really? Yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_16: 1:02:52

She comes from a wealthy family, she's well educated. We've played a couple clips of her before when she was a defense attorney, right? She's taken on this urban ghetto street thug persona as a way to get votes. That's not who she actually is. And she's very intelligent, right? So uh, but that's it. You know, we don't want to go back to the fields. Nobody wants to farm. That's why we need immigrants. Or the rednecks will go back and do the farming. We're fine. We don't need the black. I'm being so, so, so racist. We don't need the blacks anymore. We have combines, okay? Right. So we're good now. But we did that a long time ago. Yeah, we figured that out. We figured out how to get it done without you. Okay. Now, my family were cotton pickers. My grandfather was raised on an Arkansas farm as a sharecropper. Okay. So, hey, civil war happens, reconstruction in the town, and pretty much everybody who was poor ended up as a sharecropper. So my grandfather had a third grade education, was a sharecropper, ended up getting drafted into the Korean War, eventually made his way out to the Oregon coast where my family, where I'm from, right? But he was a cotton picker too. And guess what? She's right. I don't want to go back to pick cotton, but I wouldn't mind owning the cotton filled with the tractor.

SPEAKER_19: 1:04:07

And they can't pay you enough.

SPEAKER_16: 1:04:09

You can't yeah, but you can't pay me enough.

SPEAKER_19: 1:04:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_16: 1:04:13

Okay. Here's another thing, too. This happened, uh, this happened this week. And this is this is the future that we could have if peasants got involved. Really, truly, if you think that we have no power in this, there's there's a moment in time right now where our elections, though they're everything's questionable, the number of ballots, the number of voters, all those kind of things. But as far as the machines are concerned, the algorithm may or may not be working. Okay, it's just plain and simple. The other thing, too, is at a very local level, at a very local level, a lot of these votes don't attract, you know, the eye of Sauron, so to speak. And so things can happen pretty rapidly if they're not prepared to counter it with fake mail and ballots or the algorithm. Okay. So you have to get involved. This is what a community, a little small community in Michigan did, changed everything.

SPEAKER_31: 1:05:10

Voters in a small Michigan township tossed out their entire town board last night. A locksmith was even brought in to change the locks on the ousted officials' former offices late night. They were voted out because they supported a controversial battery plant linked to the Chinese government. Is the latest dramatic chapter in a story News Nation's been covering for the last year. And NewsNation's senior national correspondent Brian Anton joins us now from Michigan. Uh, you were here last night and said that they were gonna change the locks if they managed to kick them all out, and they did.

SPEAKER_13: 1:05:46

Yeah, they changed the locks, Elizabeth. I think this is almost something Americans all over the country sort of fantasize about, booting out their local government if they don't like them and they're not getting the job done. Well, that's what happened here in Green Charter Township. We're in the town hall, and it's very strange because the government is just gone. They all packed up yesterday. This was the supervisor's office. He took his desk, took a bunch of other stuff. It's empty now. The clerk's office down here, uh, Elizabeth, where they do a lot of the town business, is just empty. Uh, the new board members are gonna move in, get everything going, and they say one of their biggest priorities is stopping that project that's associated with China.

SPEAKER_16: 1:06:27

How cool is that? They got they got enough people involved and they came in and voted them out in one fail swoop. Imagine what that map of the Western Hemisphere would look like if the Dominion machines are totally shut down and we and and you know, in the new landscape with X and people being able to communicate. Imagine what it could look like. Like that, right? What Donald Trump is doing at a big scale is kind of like that, except he's got you know all the forces of the world.

SPEAKER_19: 1:06:57

There'll be a lot of sad blue hairs around right.

SPEAKER_16: 1:06:59

But the way we take back our country is literally township by township, right? It's one at a time. This is why I'm so involved in the local GOP, is because it's like we you have to. You have to. We can bitch and moan and complain all day long. We can do this podcast, right? We've got Carlito down in Puerto Rico, you know, surfing today. Surfs up apparently Marizo's heading to Cabo, like, you know, great. But at the end of the day, we have to make a difference in our hometown. If you make a difference in your life and your family's life, your community's life, it can just extend outward. That was the vision of the founding fathers. Now, these things, that whole county uh was outvoted out because they were were approving a Chinese battery plant. Bad for the neighborhood, good for someone who probably got slipped a couple bucks. Can we just be honest about that? Right? I mean, whether they can prove it or not, but likely there was some kind of insider stuff there. And this happens all the time. Remember, our economy is not a free market. Despite what people like Rand Paul claim or anybody claim, it is not a free market. By and Rand Paul would agree with this too. By definition, when you have one central bank, the Federal Reserve, in charge of economic policy, that's communism. Okay, so Rand Paul wouldn't disagree with that. But we don't have a free market. You want to know how unfree it is? This is kind of the back through things that these masters of the universe do, even something as simple as Pepsi and Walmart.

SPEAKER_34: 1:08:27

So this morning I drove around and checked the price of a 12-pack of Pepsi at three different places. At an independent grocery store in Columbus, Ohio, it was$11.99. At the Kroger by my house, it was$10.99. Then at the closest Walmart, it was$7.28. You're doing real journalism out there. You're out there jacking down the prices.

SPEAKER_08: 1:08:47

I love that.

SPEAKER_34: 1:08:48

IOSR just successfully sued to unseal the FTC's 2024 complaint about PepsiCo's alleged price discrimination with Walmart. What does the complaint tell us about the story of three different prices for Pepsi? Why can't we just say Walmart has low prices on Pepsi and that's good for consumers?

SPEAKER_08: 1:09:05

The FTC looked at a bunch of internal Pepsi emails and communications. The executives at Pepsi would talk about Walmart's prices as our prices. As if this is this is all one big company, Pepsi and Walmart holding hands, skipping through a field, right? But Pepsi became this retail price cop where it kept an eye on the price of Pepsi products at every other retailer other than Walmart. Big rivals like Target, small mom and pop shops, regional chains, everywhere could keep an eye on it, it did. And where it found that Pepsi prices in those other stores were getting low enough to really compete with Walmart with all of the discounts and all of the other things that it was giving Walmart, it took action against those other stores. What does that look like? It reduced their deals, it reduced the discounts they were giving these other retailers, it even increased their wholesale prices, started to kind of ratchet it up more and more every year, so that the price of Pepsi products at every other store that wasn't a Walmart were artificially higher for the consumer than they would have been if there was actual competition between Walmart and these stores. These stores wanted to push the prices down, but Pepsi simply wouldn't let them by charging them more. That's how this conspiracy unfolded. And that's why uh enforcing the Robinson Padman Act is not just good for competition, it's good for consumers because it actually creates uh the environment, the competitive environment that leads to low food prices, and that's what we're after.

SPEAKER_16: 1:10:37

Can you believe that?

SPEAKER_08: 1:10:39

Wow.

SPEAKER_16: 1:10:39

We look at a free market. Walmart is an example of free market. No, Walmart is an example of a conspiracy to defraud the consumer. Now, do we get cheaper goods? Yes, but pretty soon you have one store. One store to shop at. I remember as a kid how unique Walmart was. You had JCPenney, clothing, you had Sears, some clothing and some shoes and you know, some clothing and uh some appliances. Um, you had Target, mostly clothing, like a convenience store otherwise, as far as food brought stuffs are concerned. Um, and then Walmart came along and they had groceries and clothing and toys and a pharmacy. It was a one-stop shop. It was great, and it really helped rural America, right?

SPEAKER_19: 1:11:24

Well, there were different kinds of Walmarts. There was regular Walmart, and then there were super Walmarts that had the supermarkets in them. Which now they're pretty much all they're pretty much all the same now.

SPEAKER_16: 1:11:34

So, but that was like kind of unique because it used to be you'd have to, you know, go to different stores. Well, one Walmart could knock out all the different competition, and now Walmart's looking at they're knocking out Target. That's and what other what other things are there?

SPEAKER_19: 1:11:48

It's not just well, they already knocked out Kmart. Yeah, and whitemart.

SPEAKER_16: 1:11:54

Another thing, too, with just abject lies. This is Hamkeim Jeffries. Now remember, we just went through this whole government shutdown about giving illegal immigrants more health care. We've gone through all this other stuff. Now, there have been laws on the books saying that illegal immigrants and people that are not supposed to be getting Medicaid services weren't are they not supposed to get it. The laws are on the books. But there's been every kind of executive workaround and carve out and just flat out corruption and turning a blind eye to the point where Hakeem Jeffries can testify to this that no one's using these services.

SPEAKER_07: 1:12:27

In the current law, undocumented immigrants are already ineligible for Medicaid, the ACA exchanges, that's and for SNAP benefits. Not a single undocumented immigrant in this country gets a dime in federal taxpayer dollars for any part of comprehensive media.

SPEAKER_16: 1:12:46

He just said not one single undocumented immigrant in this country gets a dime of taxpayer dollars. That's such a just a lie.

SPEAKER_19: 1:12:54

Hello. No, come on, come on, dude.

SPEAKER_16: 1:12:57

Now, one of the other big lies, and this is getting to be a real issue. When Chris Sinome was up testifying last week, one of the things that, you know, she asked, have you deported any uh U.S. veterans? And the answer was no, we haven't deported any U.S. veterans, like people that served in the military. And turns out there were quite a few veterans that self-deported, but they weren't captured by ICE. And then there's a whole bunch of other, you know, Patty Murray that we're going to show this here in a second. Patty Murray had a constituent here in uh Washington that was bit by a dog. Turns out he wasn't a constituent. He's a criminal. Right. So this is the spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security correcting some fake news. This is really good to hear from the government. And I also think it's funny that fake news has now become part of the official lexicon of the government, which by the way, Trump used fake news to come after the legacy media. But now that fake news is just a moniker, it's like conspiracy theorists. Oh, you're a conspiracy theorist. Oh, you believe in fake news. Right? So just heads up. But either way, they're combating some fake news or some misinformation.

SPEAKER_35: 1:13:58

Hi, I'm Lauren Biss, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. I'm here to set the record straight on another round of fake news stories. First, the Salt Lake Tribune claimed a Utah soccer coach was doing everything right to get legal status, but I arrested him anyway. Here are the backgrounds. This quote-unquote soccer coach has a criminal history, including sodomy of a child and sexual abuse of a child. This child predator illegally overstayed his visa and remained in our country. He has been placed in removal proceedings. Under Secretary Gnome, if you break the law, you will face the consequences. Next, the media peddled a soft story that I see targeting an undergraduate student. The truth is, we were targeting a registered sex offender with a previous arrest for driving while intoxicated. A university administrator and campus security attempted to obstruct this arrest. Our officers told the school administrator and campus security that we had a warrant for this illegal alien's arrest. The school administrator told ICE officers they were violating university policy. Our officers informed them that federal law supersedes any university policy. And that if campus security would not stop locking.

SPEAKER_16: 1:15:13

One of the things Christy Nohm had to tell Harvard was you exist because of us.

SPEAKER_19: 1:15:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16: 1:15:19

So our rule is superior to your policy. Your policy is written on our letterhead. Yeah. Right? Like you're a creature of the state. You can take nothing but government money.

SPEAKER_35: 1:15:32

They would be obstructing justice. The school administrator ordered campus security to stand in front of the vehicle. Our officers followed their training to use the minimum amount of force necessary to clear the area and successfully arrested the sexual creditors. Finally, Senator Patty Murray put out a tweet, claiming an ICE attack dog, quote unquote, mauled her constituent, even though he was, quote unquote, not resisting arrest or trying to flee, and that he had no criminal record. Here's the real story. He resisted arrest and attempted to flee. Officers followed their training, and a designated patrol canine was deployed to safely stop him after he continued to evade and refuse to follow law enforcement. Once in custody, the criminal illegal alien received immediate medical attention, as a standard procedure, and is now in removal proceedings. Running from law enforcement and resisting arrest is dangerous. DHS remains unapologetic in its mission to protect American communities by arresting and removing the worst of the worst. Tune in next week for we debug more hoaxes and fake news stories.

SPEAKER_16: 1:16:43

Now, there's that case of Abrego Garcia, the Maryland dad, who's got a final order that he can't be deported. Human trafficker, white Peter, guy's got a rap sheet, right? Caught on body camera, trafficking, illegally trafficking people in the United States. He's Maryland dad. Well, because of all the political stuff, the courts have now decided to allow him to stay. This is an American green card, or not American green card holder, this isn't an immigrant who has a green card who's a law-abiding citizen. Here he is standing in front of a back the blue flag, and he's got some vice for his other, you know, other other immigrant friends.

SPEAKER_36: 1:17:17

So if you are a naturalized citizen like myself, uh or a green card holder, but you don't have a job, you don't do anything, you become a uh welfare drama queen or a broke ass bum, your citizenship and immigrant status needs to be revoked, and you need to be sent back. Okay? Of course, if you're uh illegal aliens, you need to get the fuck out of here. Yeah, you need to be sent back. And I am calling for Secretary Christine Home to look at Ihan Omar's fake marriage certificate. So she fucking like marriage married to her her her brother in order to uh you know stay in the United States. That's bullshit. Um I'm also asking Maggie, the IRS, to look into Ihanoma 30 million dollars. She got how the fuck she got 30 million dollars? What kind of skills has she got? What did she do? Besides being like a Somali red w representative. It's cold, y'all.

SPEAKER_15: 1:18:39

It's cold, y'all. I gotta go back inside.

SPEAKER_16: 1:18:43

I like this dude. Yeah, seriously. Alright, uh, I want to touch on a couple things. Carlito says, I miss the days of the blue light special at Kmart. I know, right?

SPEAKER_19: 1:18:52

Well, you know, I I I read that and I wanted to type something. I was like, you know what? I hated Walmart or Kmart when I was a kid because, and it wasn't because the clothes I was getting or the shoes, the pro wings, pro wings, go, pro wings. Um, I hated it because we would go there and they had an icy machine and we would never get icy's. I wanted icy so bad. That's a parental problem. No, that's called we were broke.

SPEAKER_16: 1:19:17

That's what I'm calling. Yeah.

SPEAKER_19: 1:19:21

We were just broke.

SPEAKER_16: 1:19:22

Because the disappointment level.

unknown: 1:19:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16: 1:19:25

So uh this yesterday there was a shooting at Brown University and or day before. It's extremely tragic. It's in Rhode Island. Um, you know, allegedly the man shouted Allah Akbar as he opened fire. It was, you know.

SPEAKER_15: 1:19:40

Wonderful.

SPEAKER_16: 1:19:41

Yeah. It was really sad. Well, the shooter ran away. Allegedly, there's like 800 cameras around. They have one picture of him turning a corner, and all you see is his back. You cannot identify him. Come on. This is it is. It defies it defies belief. Now, it could be that they haven't released things to the public and they're chasing down leads. But their leads led them to a man from Wisconsin who's an American citizen. He is uh a Muslim, but he served in the United States military. He was actually on a very prestigious uh honor guard that would do um stuff for fallen soldiers, never deployed, never went overseas or fought or anything like that. But and then was enrolled at Brown University getting education. So you're kind of looking at no criminal record, you know, it's like this is this another one of these, you know, deep Islamic radicalization situations. Well, they arrested him, took him into well, a couple things. First of all, President Trump put out a tweet, blah, blah, blah. They have the shooter in custody. And then, you know, 30 minutes later, uh, they don't have the shooter in custody. Like whoever said that he did, whoever briefed President Trump saying they had the shooter in custody was totally wrong.

SPEAKER_18: 1:20:43

Like 100%.

SPEAKER_16: 1:20:44

So Trump said they don't have the shooter in custody. So then a couple hours later, they got the shooter in custody. They went to this guy, arrested him, found him with a gun, found him with this, and his name got leaked. So, you know, people are deep diving into his background, finding out every person he ever dated, every place he's ever been, open source stuff, digging through his commercial history, you know, because you can buy people's cell phone data. And it's like just destroy this guy's life. Right? You'd never be able to Google his name again without finding a legend terrorist, right?

SPEAKER_19: 1:21:12

So this is the shooter, or this is not the shooter.

SPEAKER_05: 1:21:15

Well, I don't care about island, um what this investigation looks like, where we are today, where I anticipated uh moving forward. So uh last night, um I wish uh you could have been with me in a command post uh where there were literally dozens of provinces of working to develop leads, um, and it is very difficult to do, obviously, because of the tragedy that it would also be difficult to do for developing that work continues and it will continue to work there. This is what these investigations look like. I've been around long enough to know sometimes you head in one direction and you have to regroup and go in another, and that's exactly what has happened over the last three or four hours or two. Um collectively the team uh developed developed the leads in a number of areas one was case that it was a ground that led to the uh to the uh to us uh detaining the person of interest. So those words, how we use those words when we're talking about an investigation matter. Um what it means here is that certainly there was some degree of evidence that pointed to this individual. That evidence needed to be corroborated and confirmed. And over the last 24 hours leading into just just very, very recently that evidence uh now points in a different direction. What that means is that this person needs to be released. I think what is really unfortunate um that this person's name was it's hard to put that back in the bottom. So um we're gonna proceed very carefully here. There is too much investigation. What I anticipate seeing going forward is is that our team will be our working prosecutors, we will be working with the province of the police department as the principal leads in this investigation. We will have our resources amplified by the state police, by the FBI, by the ATF, by the DEA, the Marshal Service and others as we develop leads and reach uh and reach and move towards justice in this case. But this could happen very quickly, uh, but it could take some time.

SPEAKER_16: 1:24:02

So after the shooting, they had a shelter in place order that remained until they took this person in custody, and then they lifted the shelter in place order. Turns out it's the wrong guy, and the shooter's still on the loose, and they don't have know where he's at, and the shelter and place order's out. So, do you see the problems here? And then his name got leaked. Whoever leaked his name, there needs to be an investigation in that person. He needs to be criminally charged, and then this guy needs to sue the bejeebus out of Rhode Island and who whatever agency that person was with.

SPEAKER_19: 1:24:29

And he also needs to not get killed by some local nut who thinks he's doing the right thing by taking out the bad guy. Bingo. So we need to not have that story happen.

SPEAKER_16: 1:24:39

Now you have this on the backdrop of what's going on with Brian Cole Jr., who may or may not be a Patsy. Now he's mentioned person of interest. I was turned on to by one of our listeners, uh, Robert McPeasant, asked me to watch Person of Interest, the TV series. So yeah, Prime, and I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_19: 1:24:54

Dude, that's a good show. Good show.

SPEAKER_16: 1:24:56

Molks, I'm watching that and I'm like, they did this to me.

SPEAKER_19: 1:24:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16: 1:24:59

Right? Because that's like 2010 to whatever that show was. So it's all I'm like, that's a large language model. That's just AI. That's grok. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_15: 1:25:07

I'm like, it's the machine, it's grok.

SPEAKER_19: 1:25:10

Absolutely terrifying. I also have just been thinking that, you know, if somebody wants to yell Al Hu Akbar or whatever they're yelling right before they commit one of these shootings, there needs to be an enhancement. What's going on?

SPEAKER_16: 1:25:26

I was just staring at myself.

SPEAKER_19: 1:25:27

Oh, I'm sorry. There needs to be an enhancement on the crime, is what I'm trying to say. If you're gonna be doing that kind of thing, don't you think? I think so. I mean, I think it should be an enhancement where you just go like straight to the gallows.

SPEAKER_16: 1:25:41

They do have some hate crime enhancements and stuff like that. I've never seen them used against people just for the sake of shouting a la Akbar. You know, they just declare it an act of terrorism or whatever. Now, I don't want people to feel like there's no hope. Amazing things have happened. Donald Trump has absolutely changed the American economy, changed it. Now, it's just a matter, it's like turning a cruise ship. Once you, you know, turn it, or a better example would be an airline, you know, Ukdorf. When I was an Ilan pilot, there's a German guy that's a leader in a church that's always using airline. Three degrees. Yeah, exactly. You know, when you take off from LA, if you change your trajectory three degrees, it's the difference between going to New York and going to Miami. Right. Right. So that's what's going on. Trump has changed our degrees. Now, in the beginning, we're still really close. Affordability, right? But over time, we're going to start to see this the difference. So the difference is starting to manifest itself. 10, 11 months into Trump's presidency, the difference is starting to man uh manifest. On Face of the Nation this week, Kevin Hassett revealed we've made a lot of progress.

SPEAKER_23: 1:26:45

Evidence is mixed, but but the point is that uh we've got deficit going way, way down. Uh so right now it's looking like the deficit for this year will be$600 billion lower than it was last year. That really helps lower inflation. We've got the trade deficit cut in half from last year. And so all these things are things that should uh continue to move us towards the Fed target of 2%.

SPEAKER_16: 1:27:07

Yeah. If we can get the economy right and ease people's daily grind, they'll be less inclined to look for alternative systems, right? And they'll be less inclined to call themselves a victim and then look for some kind of ideology that that empowers that victimhood and then desire to overthrow the oppressor. So that's really good. Give that a little bit of time. That'll that'll be excellent. Now, uh Howard Lutnick is a salesman. Okay, he's a salesman, but I like his pitch.

SPEAKER_28: 1:27:35

In them, you've got taxes coming down, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on our Social Security, things like that. These things and drive GDP growth, real GDP growth, not the middling growth that we've gotten used to, this sort of 2% nonsense. This economy, the$30 trillion U.S. economy, can grow 4%. It can grow 5%. And I think under President Trump, you're gonna see it grow 6%. And people think, oh, these things aren't possible. Lower rates, lower energy. You're gonna have that growth. You're gonna fix America doing both sides, raising wages, great jobs coming into this country, bringing down the cost of energy, bringing down the cost of interest rates. You're going to have Americans feel good about the United States of America under Donald Trump. And that's what we're playing for. We're playing for fixing both sides of the spectrum together to make America reach its golden age. You got to do both. You got to have people make more money, and you got to get interest rates down, housing costs down, energy prices down.

SPEAKER_29: 1:28:38

All right, Mr. Secretary. Um six percent, that that's uh uh that's a goal to certainly uh shoot for. I think four or five would be uh would be something uh it's been a while. It's been a while since we've had that uh in this country. A lot of people don't think it's possible, but with AI and um assuming some other things, maybe it is. We appreciate your time. Thanks.

SPEAKER_28: 1:29:00

Well, I think you're gonna be north of four next year. And look you do. Let me come on in the second quarter and play this pack, and you're gonna see amazing numbers.

SPEAKER_16: 1:29:10

All right. Good news. I I really want to I want us to believe that we can make a difference and are making a difference. And the more individuals engage in the system, separate themselves from the system while at the same time engaging. Like there's kind of a you have to figure out how to shore up your own personal economics and then go engage in the politics of saving ship America, right? For sure. Donald Trump also mentioned this in how much money we've been taking in from tariffs.

SPEAKER_27: 1:29:39

Because without the November 5th election, you would have had a president that didn't have the courage to use tariffs the way they should be used. And because of the tariffs, we've taken in more than 18. Think of this, 18 trillion dollars. There's never been anything like it. As an example, the previous administration, sleepy Joe Biden, took in less than one trillion in four years. We took in more than 18 trillion in 10 months. I'd say that's pretty good, right? I'd say that's pretty good. And if you go back, if you go back into history, there's never been a country that's taken in more than three trillion dollars to an extent because we'd have it in November 15th.

SPEAKER_19: 1:30:18

It is a big deal. That's like 80 to 1. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16: 1:30:21

Okay, so let's listen to this contractor talk about understanding tariffs, and he's gonna spend a couple minutes here describing exactly how tariffs have had an effect.

SPEAKER_10: 1:31:57

Proudly made in the USA. So I'm one of those people that I understood tariffs, but yeah, I didn't understood. Yesterday, I understood tariffs because we bought four of these. Now, this right here, I mean, this is just part of doing business, but yesterday's purchase, this was five grand. They bought us two sets of these right here. Of course, we got our old set we're about ready to put up, but we went with a luminopole. And these are considered the Cadillac in the industry for this type. For those that you don't know, buy pump jacks, lighter jacks, whatever you want to call them. They allow you to run these walkways. Now, not to be confused, you're you're gonna see Werner here. We're gonna bring Werner into the conversation here in a second. So let's blank out Werner because it's not the same company, it's their competition. Aluminople is made, I believe, the Ohio or maybe the northeast, I don't know, but they're made in the eastern side, Midwest, eastern side of the US. Now, when I went to purchase them, Werner makes the same identical ladder jack, pump jack. Let's get back over here. But when I was picking them up, we we picked up two walkways too. So these were two of these ran, I think$17.50. They gave us a little bit of break.$17.50 for the two. When I was pricing out the walkways, because we'd bought walkways uh, I think earlier in the year or last year, I you know, this is something that we uh buy. I said, Well, I says, the Lumapole and Werner are getting close. And he's like, Oh no, he says the lumen pole is quite a bit more. Then I got looking at it and he says, No, he's like, the Werner with is within like$30. He says, Interesting. He says, you know, Werner's made in Mexico. He says, due to the tariffs, he says, it's brought Werner way up here to almost the same price as the Lumapole. Lumapole has not raised their prices this whole time through the tariffs, he told me.

SPEAKER_16: 1:34:15

This is so important to understand, right? This is the point. It's not that prices come down because of tariffs, it's that overseas prices come up so that so that a guy like this can judge based on merit. If the Werner is the Cadillac product, he'd buy the Werner. But instead, he buys the Lumapole because for$30 I get a Cadillac product. And here's the thing either one you buy under a tariff regime, the money stays domestic, right? If you because because Illumapole sends a lot out for cost basis, right? But now they get to keep all that extra money that's wages and stuff like that, stays in our economy. If something comes from overseas, that's fine, but the tariffs get inserted into our economy. So the overseas doesn't get all the money while Illumipole gets starved.

SPEAKER_10: 1:35:05

He said Werner keeps going up, it's almost up to the same price. You're getting a Cadillac product, you're getting a premium. Don't give me that garbage, you Toyota freaks. Um, they're gonna say, well, Lexus quality or whatever. No. Um, you're getting a premium product and you're sporting an American company. So yesterday it proved to me that the tariffs are working.

SPEAKER_16: 1:35:32

Tariffs change buying habits, right? And it redirects money domestically. And if a foreign company has a better product, then at least we get the premium for having that stuff come here. It's a big deal. It's a huge deal. Um, and the reason for that is because it it actually stymies inflation. Now, the government spends money like crazy or prints money like crazy, it'll stymie inflation. But if the money is staying domestic, they don't have to print nearly as much to inject it into the economy. Here's the result, and this is just showing silver as a 20-year difference. Now, we've made this point a couple times about how much silver was when I graduated high school. Well, this is after I graduated high school, but it goes back to 2020, how much$500 of silver was. Now, the ounces of silver haven't changed. Silver's still silver, but our dollar in ex in comparison has. So this is I'm gonna speed this up because there's no point in watching this low. This is$500 of silver in 2005. Sometimes you have to see this to understand how bad inflation has been. I have experienced a lifetime, two generations of inflation. Look at that. That's the difference. This is$500 today in silver, this was$500 in 2005.

SPEAKER_18: 1:36:51

Wow.

SPEAKER_16: 1:36:52

I have experienced a lifetime of inflation in the last 20 years. We've experienced like a hundred years worth of inflation here. Okay. Tariffs make it so that we don't have to do that. We can stay here. Hopefully, in 2055, this is still the value of silver. It won't be. It won't be, by the way. Okay. So very critical. Now, Jerome Powell was talking about housing. The Fed has everything to do with everything. Money touches everything, clearly, right? Yep. So the Fed has tools to do different things, but one of the things the Fed doesn't have is construction crews.

SPEAKER_32: 1:37:29

So we do um through our vast network of contacts and just through our observation of what's going on in the economy, we hear about this a lot. Uh, if you listen to the earnings reports for consumer-facing companies that tend to deal with low and moderate income people, they'll all say that we're seeing people, you know, tightening their belts, uh, you know, changing products that they buy, buying less, and that sort of thing. And so it's clearly a thing that you guys are clearly a thing that you know, asset values, housing values, and and and and uh securities values are high and they tend to be owned by people more at the higher end of the income and wealth. So as to how sustainable it is, I don't know. Most of the consumption does happen by people who have more means. Uh I think you know, the top, the top third accounts for way more than a third of the consumption, for example. So um it's a good question how sustainable that is. Uh you know, the best we can do is to is to have a you know price stability and a strong labor market. What we saw um, for example, what we saw at the end of the you know, the very, very long um expansion that ended with the outbreak of the pandemic. We saw that it was ten years and eight months or something like that, the longest one in recorded history. In the last two years, most of the job, the largest part of the of the wage gains were come going to people in the bottom quartile, the bottom part of the lower low and moderate income. So, you know, uh having a strong labor market for a long period of time is really, really good from a social standpoint. It's helping people at the lower income levels.

SPEAKER_16: 1:39:10

And I think it's funny that he talks about it like that. That was 100% in Trump's era. You had Obama, Trump came in, it was it was like a light switch, right? So he's taking credit for this long expansion era for it was all top-end spending until Trump came in.

SPEAKER_32: 1:39:28

That's what we all want to get back to. But we gotta we gotta have price stability and we gotta have uh you know full employment, maximum employment.

SPEAKER_00: 1:39:35

And just quickly, you mentioned the housing market remains kind of weak with these rate cuts that we've seen. Is there a chance we're gonna see more affordability in the housing market? So more people can maybe enjoy that part of wealth creation. The average age or median age of a first time home buyer is now 40 years old. That's the highest on record.

SPEAKER_32: 1:39:51

Yeah, so the housing market faces um some really significant challenges. And uh I don't know that. you know, a twenty-five basis point decline in the federal funds rate is gonna make much of a difference for people. Um you know, housing supply is low. Um many people have very, very low, low uh uh low rate mortgages from the pandemic period and they kept refinancing and got the really low, so it's expensive for them to move. Uh and you know we're we're a ways away from that changing. Also we're just we haven't built enough housing in the country for a long time, and so a lot of estimates suggest that we just need more housing of different kinds. So housing's gonna be a uh you know a problem and and you know really the tools to address it are are we can we can raise and lower interest rates but we don't really have the tools to address you know a secular housing shortage what he means by tools to address it is construction crews that's a that's a regulatory problem.

SPEAKER_16: 1:40:54

So uh this woman drops a little bit of truth bombs about how people kind of come to see the world over time and this has held true for millennia. How well are you thinking I would say that everyone starts off as a lefty and then wakes up at some point after you start either making money working trying to run a business trying to buy a home and then realize what crap ideas they all are and then you go to the right sounds about right exactly we are in the pendulum swing to the right America is growing up all right guys I've told the story before about Rex my friend in prison friend I use the word loosely and uh he was an old gangster from Arkansas and he'd been around during the Bill Clinton era and doing coke with Bill Clinton's brother and stuff like that. So this guy's one of these guys that went and researched and documented a lot of Bill Clinton's nefarious activities. So this is just kind of a fun way to end the show just to show you we've been ruled by really bad people for a long time.

SPEAKER_04: 1:41:51

So I've written about Clinton watching CIA conspiracies and I researched the hell out of the Clinton Cry family and that's what led me to abstain. So he was a serial rap and cokehead going back to when he was the governor of Arkansas and it was the CIA they wanted the sleaziest most corrupt governor to choose that state to smuggle the white powder in from South America to finance these wars against the communists in Nicaragua and Clinton provided the state security for the drug drops and his own brother half brother Roger Clinton was busted buying coke from an undercover cop and recorded saying some of this is for Bill he's got a nose like a vacuum cleaner and that and my friend Rex was there.

SPEAKER_15: 1:42:35

My friend Rex was a part of this story can confirm.

SPEAKER_04: 1:42:40

Okay they buried everybody if he didn't outlook that arrest really quickly it would all get covered up so they put Roger Clinton in prison to show that no one is above the law the Clintons are moral outstanding pillars of the community meanwhile he's got multiple allegations of women sexual assault and Hillary Clinton tracked a lot of these women down with private investigators threatened their lives pets were murdered people were thrown off balconies and this is the genesis of the hashtag Clinton body count they had a coroner Fammy Malik who when Bill's mum had accidentally unalived someone when she was working in the medical uh profession Fammy Malik had come in and he adjusted the cause of death so Bill Clinton owed him for the rest of his life and Fammy Malik would come in and if you had been shot in the head or if someone had strangled you he would he would say that you drowned in a swimming pool.

SPEAKER_16: 1:43:50

I've done a whole chapter on those in in um Clinton Bush and Sky Conspiracy I've written about Clinton Bush and Sky Conspiracies it's funny to look back it's tragic to realize how many people have bought into him right oh he's Bill Clinton we love him all right guys that's it for us today thank you so much for joining us I understand sometimes the show is a little bit rough it's hard to talk for me it's hard to talk about Islam and stuff like that and I I try I've always tried not to be judgmental right I grew up in a politically correct culture but I just on the individual basis we judge the person for who they are but once you attach to yourself a group label there we are I can judge a group right I don't have any problem with Muslims it's Islam that I struggle with. I don't have any problem with you know lefties it's communism that I struggle with right pretty easy.

SPEAKER_22: 1:44:42

All right guys we'll talk to you guys again tomorrow bye old woman man sorry what knight lived in that castle over there I'm thirty seven what I'm thirty seven I'm not old well I can't just call you ma'am you could say dentist I didn't know you were called Dennis to find out did you I did say sorry about the old woman but from behind you look what you automatically treat me about an imperial well I am king of king how do you get that eh hang on to our stated imperialist dogma which perpetuate the economic and social differences in our society I'm thinking of the prison we're all kidding the bottom of the water that is why I'm talking women distributed sources no basis for the system of government supreme executive power derives my mandate from the basis not from some classical like you can't expect to wear the supreme executive power just because some war retro just because some boys love the symmetry now we see the repressed you that you see repressed me
