Floods, Lawsuits, And Fentanyl Declared A Weapon Of Mass Destruction

A windstorm knocks out power, highways vanish under floodwater, and looters paddle through neighborhoods in kayaks—then the news cycle pivots to a single incendiary post. We open with the chaos at home and ask a harder question: are we so fixated on words that we miss the deeds reshaping the country?

We dig into Trump’s $10B lawsuit against the BBC and the power of edited narratives, especially when those clips become the scaffolding for impeachment and lawfare. From there, we preview the Epstein files and the uncomfortable idea that “protection” is less about grace than leverage. The Rob Reiner controversy erupts across X, but instead of marinating in outrage, we examine what actually changed while everyone was posting. That’s where the Brown University shooting lands: a likely targeted attack, fumbled details, and a campus with 800 cameras that somehow can’t show a face. When authorities ask us to “check the website,” trust takes another hit.

Then a move with real teeth: fentanyl is formally classified as a weapon of mass destruction. It reframes overdose deaths as national security and empowers deeper coordination with allies like Paraguay on training, intel sharing, and equipment transfers. Pair that with tariffs that pressured China to cooperate on precursors, and a picture emerges where trade, borders, and public health collide. We also surface new reporting on FBI memos suggesting DOJ lacked probable cause for the Mar-a-Lago raid, alongside whistleblower claims of selective enforcement and cooked crime stats. If laws are applied by narrative, legitimacy doesn’t just fray—it snaps.

Culture and education thread through it all. Elon Musk’s example—students knowing George Washington only as a slaveholder—maps to an empathy deficit and a vacuum where fringe ideologies and domestic plots can grow. We cover the LA bomb-plot arrests, a Bellevue ambush in a spotless “safe” city, and why competence and truth-telling matter more than performative civility. In our private segment, we highlight practical wins: Walmart removing dyes and 30-plus additives from store brands without raising prices, and fast-tracked relief that keeps farmers from going under. Finally, we tackle the Senate’s blue slips and filibuster: if one side will nuke norms when power swings, do you lock in durable policy now or wait for a bygone etiquette to return?

If you value clear-eyed analysis over performative outrage, tap follow, share this episode with a friend who cares about facts, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find the show.

Transcript

SPEAKER_09: 0:06

No purpose to start the show. You see the peasants in the background with the keys and peas walking around. What are those people? What are those people? Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. I kind of do look forward to saying that every single morning.

SPEAKER_16: 1:15

I never know how it's going to come in your mouth. Sometimes it's like, whoa. Oh, he just went from like sitting here silently, three words exchanged, and all of a sudden he's like, Well, plus, some you you used to, you know, we've done this show like, what are we on like 300 episodes?

SPEAKER_09: 1:31

Oh, 20.

SPEAKER_16: 1:33

And you get used to it hearing it a certain way, and then all of a sudden you do a different tone or something. Like, whoa.

SPEAKER_09: 1:40

Not AI. Not AI. Pony Boy, good morning. Welcome, welcome. Yesterday was a really annoying day. Two reasons. Uh, one of which we'll talk about in the show, but the other one was I lost power at my house, which no surprise. I mean, we're going through some kind of torrential December. Sure. But you find out how important power is all of a sudden it goes out. It's unusually warm, right? It was like 57, 60 degrees yesterday. Fortunately. Really warm. Yeah, fortunately. And uh truly, fortunately. But we also started the day out with tons of rain. Uh, and then we we don't really we don't flood here in Kitzap, at least nothing like what we're seeing around the state. Yeah. But uh, we are subject to winds because we're this peninsula out in the middle of the ocean. And my house actually has a water view, right? So I actually put logs on my roof. I have a metal roof. I had to put logs up on my roof to hold my roof down because I went out, I you know, we had this wind bluss, and the whole house, okay. So I thought, look, sure enough, some of my my roofing is like, you know, done the thing where it came up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lips.

SPEAKER_16: 2:41

Let's knock all that back down. I was gonna say, this is the day where you're like, man, those codes about hurricane clips and stuff. I mean, it kind of makes sense.

SPEAKER_09: 2:48

Yeah, exactly. I'm like, it's it is really for that once-in-a-decade wind desk. These are overkill. It's not overkill the day the wind blows. Anyways, I had to put uh logs, just some firewood logs, on top of the roof to hold down the corners. Like, eh, put a little 10-pound log on each roof, that'll probably hold it down. So uh we also have had continued flooding in the uh Seattle Renton area. So this right here is a video of I uh highway 187. Now I drive this road all the time. Oh, right. This is anytime I head east side, I end up jumping off I5 and hitting here. They had to shut it down. I didn't even know this area was floodable.

SPEAKER_16: 3:26

Look how deep the water is over the road. Yeah, that's not hydroport.

SPEAKER_09: 3:30

The highway's built up. Like and look, it's like holding the water back. There's some kind of levee or something right here, some wall. But, anyways, wild. Uh this is this is oh geez.

SPEAKER_13: 3:42

Those are oh geez.

SPEAKER_09: 3:44

That's that's the roof line. That's like four or five feet tall there. The water's completely buried. Um just absolutely crazy what's going on. Uh I mean, holy smokes. Holy smokes. I remember when we used to flip houses in this area, we would talk about it. Well, it's kind of a floodplain. It was like when are the last time I flooded? Never prehistoric era. Here's another, here's another image here. Um just parking lot, just very couldn't even get their cars out. So we're having levees break all over the place. Tequila just had their dam break or their levee break this morning. It's basically like all the cities over there are having major, major issues. Um the Green River uh broke its levees, so it's all over the place. Look at that tractor. Holy sh. That's a that's an Osball tractor. When you need the tractor with the six, the six-foot back wheels. Uh, and then here's the tragedy, too. You know, people are just horrible. Look, looters are now using kayaks to steal from flooded properties. No homish county officials say looters are using kayaks to steal from flooded properties. Man, come on. Yeah, for real. We got our own Katrina thing going on here. I didn't I didn't expect I I don't know why I'm surprised, but uh, not very cool at all. Anyways, so that's what's going on over here. What's going on in your world? We're gonna hit a couple things before we jump into the Rob Reiner controversy because it was quite annoying. That was the other thing, too. I realized by about 11 a.m. I was like, I bet you important things are gonna happen today, and no one's gonna catch it because everybody's out there, you know, virtue signaling on this Rob Reiner thing. It's like, good. Doug Wyatt, good morning, Jonathan, good morning, Carlitz, good morning, friends. Welcome everybody. I'm glad you guys are here. So, a couple things. Let's just jump into a few uh a few items. Obviously, Donald Trump pardoned Tina Peters, and he was asked about uh Tina Peters and kind of the Colorado situation in general yesterday, and this is what he had to say.

SPEAKER_27: 5:46

The poorly run state of Colorado with a governor who's incompetent, and frankly, with a governor that won't allow our wonderful Tina to come out of a jail, a high-intensity jail, because she caught people cheating on an election and they said she was cheating, she wasn't cheating. She went over, she looked at one of the election scams going on, and uh because she did that, they put her in jail for nine years. The governor of Colorado is a weak and a pathetic man who was run by Trend de Aragua. The criminals from Venezuela took over sections of Colorado, and he was afraid to do anything, but he puts Tina in jail for nine years because she caught people cheating. And when she walked over and got involved in it, they said she was cheating, she wasn't cheating. She caught people cheating on the election 2020. Along with a lot of other people that cheated on that election. You'll see that coming out more and more.

SPEAKER_09: 7:07

You know, six months ago when we did the your country's run by narco-terrorist thing, and then all of a sudden we went from growing, growing, growing to flat line. I was reading a little Nietzsche last night. Really, I was because power was out, so I figured, oh, why not read? And uh Nietzsche, Nietzsche was describing how people don't really like the truth because what they want is things that they call truth that make them feel comfortable. But when the real truth is ugly and you know, people don't want to hear it, and that's kind of where I look at this election fraud thing. It's it's an ugly truth to realize your country's been run by narco-terrorists. We've had presidents who have been shoving cocaine up their noses, we've got dementia. You know what I mean? It's like it's hard. We don't want to believe that. And uh that's kind of where we're at. We're at a spot where it's like, hey, some of this stuff we can't continue. Can't continue this way, right? Um, this is Donald Trump. Another thing he did is yesterday he announced his official lawsuit against the BBC. And he's, I think the lawsuit's$10 billion, but he's asking, you know, five billion is like their baseline negotiation deal. Probably will put the BBC out of business, which is Britain. So, you know, it'll probably be anyways. This is the clip that the BBC edited in order to make Trump look like he was calling for violence on January 6th. Now keep in mind, I'm wrapped up in this too, right? This narrative is what they use to kind of create the consent of the governed in order to target American citizens like myself.

SPEAKER_28: 8:37

We're gonna walk down to the Capitol, and I'll be there with you, and we fight. We fight like hell. We're gonna walk down That's not We're gonna walk down to the Capitol, and I'll be there with you, and we fight. We fight like hell.

SPEAKER_09: 8:56

They used that clip to initiate impeachment proceedings. Yes, right now, I don't know that they ever said, here's the clip, but this is the narrative. The BBC put this out there, worldwide news, and everybody picks it up, and it's called the Zeitgeist. This is just the the thing that's in the air that we all fill, the Zeitgeist. The Zeitgeist was Trump called for people to go down to the Capitol and fight, fight like hell, take your country back.

SPEAKER_28: 9:23

What he really said was this We're gonna walk down to the Capitol, and we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.

SPEAKER_09: 9:36

That's a little bit different of a message. That's the message I've got, right? So when they're like, well, the Trump president called for violence, I'm like, I listen to the whole speech. In fact, that's part of my objection to this whole thing was I showed up in Congress had already been dismissed. Why am I why am I being said that I'm obstructing Congress, right? That was it right there. They wanted to run with that narrative. It's anyways, so he's suing the BBC. I'm sure it'll take a couple years and want to do discovery and stuff like that. And uh, anyways, this is Trump talking about because they won't.

SPEAKER_27: 10:05

In a little while, you'll be saying I'm suing the BBC for putting words in my mouth, literally, to put words in my mouth. They had me saying things that I never said coming out. I guess they used AI or something. Uh so we'll be bringing that lawsuit. A lot of people are asking, when are you bringing that lawsuit? Even the media can't believe that one. They would they actually put terrible words in my mouth having to do with January 6th that I didn't say. And the beautiful words that I said, right? The beautiful words talking about patriotism and all of the good things that I said, they didn't say that, but they put terrible words. They actually have me speaking with words that I never said, and they got caught because I believe somebody at BBC said this is so bad, it has to be reported. That's called fake news.

SPEAKER_09: 10:57

That's called fake news. Shantini, Chantini, good morning. Welcome, welcome. Okay, so now one of the things in kind of the WWE that we're watching here of politics, right? Which is way more than WWE. This is like life is on the line. This is a death match. We laugh. We laugh because otherwise we would cry and it would be a very depressing show.

SPEAKER_18: 11:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09: 11:22

So one of the things, you know, we're supposed to, by this Friday, we're supposed to have the full release of all the Epstein files. So I want you guys to preview what should be coming out in these Epstein files here. So this is Glenn Prager, he's a Jeffrey Epstein investigator from the Justice Department, and he's worked in government for a long time. And uh, we'll just listen to the beginning clip here of what he was caught saying in an Arizona airport, okay?

SPEAKER_14: 11:47

It's not he's not protecting himself, there's nothing there. But he's protecting a lot of people because Trump's not saying it's a host, it's uh the case, like a hoax or something like that. He's been on the plane, you know, many times. It just was never on the plane with the kids. I've seen the IT and I've interviewed all the victors. There's never been an instance where Trump wants a plane with these kids.

SPEAKER_13: 12:11

We're on the same road, but that can't be someone.

SPEAKER_09: 12:20

Overheard that's it right there. And we've known that for a while, right? Bon Gino came out and said he had a whistle, Secret Service Agent whistleblower who was like, dude, I asked to be taken off the detail, right? Because they were doing that with kids on the plane, yeah. So in another episode of paint Trump with their sins, right? Now Trump's protecting people, right? Who's he protecting? Good question. There's in my mind probably people that he has leverage over. People he has leverage over. It could be that he doesn't want to destroy the system completely, right? We're already kind of going through a crisis of a country right now because Joe Biden, the auto-pin president, the illegitimate president that we're talking about.

SPEAKER_16: 12:59

I was talking with my wife about this actually last night because we were having a well, this is what the Democrats are doing, and this is and it and it was like a head reminder like this is not a Republican-Democrat issue. This isn't we're all of our congressmen are all guilty and they're all in it, and they're all tainted, and they all have problems. And and he's just trying to get the Republican Party behind him to use that as an engine to destroy the Democrats, and then he's probably gonna have to turn around and destroy some of the Republicans after he's done doing that.

SPEAKER_09: 13:30

Yes, yes, which is why the Republicans are like, you know, like we don't want, you know, let's delay for time because maybe when the dam breaks, it'll be after the midterms, you know what I mean? And we'll maybe I'll escape. And he'll let us escape all the way to 2028 because he needs our support. The reality, the ugly, ugly truth. Bill Clinton was a cokehead. Bill Clinton did felonous activities on a regular basis, up to and including allegations of murder, okay? An illegitimate president with high crimes and misdemeanors. Bush. Bush Jr. Weapons of mass destruction, Patriot Act, Obama, a false president. Elected for the first time we had the president officially elected by the fake voting machines. The first time that they meddled in an election was in the Iowa caucus, in order for Barack Obama to beat out Hillary Clinton in that caucus, and that's when he got the momentum shift. Okay. Then you come up on Trump and the miraculous 2016 story where somebody went into a closet and started breaking computers that probably, you know, set off the algorithm or delayed the algorithm enough that Trump could win, and or he just overwhelmed the system, right? They were they were hoping they could do that 2% margin thing and he won by 4% or whatever it was. And then we get to Joe Biden and the 2020. The stark reality that we have been led by gangsters, thugs, and criminals since 1992. Do you get a tax refund? Do you see what I'm saying here? All of that executive authority is vested in the person of the president. So Donald Trump is at once trying to get justice and accountability while at the same time trying to preserve the system that we love and cherish and have put our life, blood, sweat, and tears and energy into this thing called America. While he's surrounded by jackals. While he's surrounded by jackals, exactly. Now you mentioned, you know, who is he protecting? Well, people he has leverage over. Imagine Nancy Pelosi, who really spearheaded two separate impeachment challenges against Donald Trump that were completely fabricated, 1,09.7% based in hoax. She was interviewed and had to say this about Trump. This term, where Trump has taken the gloves off and is actually doing anything, she's like, oh, I don't think there's anything to impeach Trump.

SPEAKER_25: 16:05

Just to make sure I understand you, this should not be the agenda of Democrats.

SPEAKER_00: 16:11

He crosses the border again. But I that's not an incidental thing, you say, we're gonna do that. No, there has to be cause. There has to be reason. We had review, this was a very serious historic thing, and our founders knew that there could be a rogue president, and that's why they put impeachment in the Constitution. They didn't know there'd be a rogue president at the same time a rogue senate that didn't have the courage to do the right thing. That's that's bipartisan in the Senate, but it wasn't enough.

SPEAKER_16: 16:44

Just to make sure I maybe I was wrong about Nancy Pelosi. I mean, this makes it seem so much more serious when they actually tried to impeach him. What the heck is she saying?

SPEAKER_09: 16:58

You led two hoax impeachment scandals against Donald Trump. And now you're like, we shouldn't run on it. He hasn't really done anything. This is really serious. It doesn't rise to the level of impeachment. Um, does he got a stranglehold on you? Or are you just seeing the writing on the wall?

SPEAKER_16: 17:14

Like, yeah, what's going on here? Yeah, what is going on?

SPEAKER_09: 17:18

So, okay, so now we're gonna get onto this Rob Reiner thing, because of course, this just oh, what is I hate it when my little bar shows up on the computer knows you don't want to watch it. So this is the Rob Reiner controversy. Let's go ahead and read this. Now, Rob Reiner tragically was killed in his home, apparent, allegedly by his son. Okay. It's very, very sad. I want this, I want this to go away. How do I let me do something here? Don't don't show this. I'm I'm off. Uh I just want my doc to get off that screen. Let me see. Okay. Well, okay, here's Rob Reiner. No, I want this to I want it to go away. I do want it to go away.

SPEAKER_16: 18:04

Hold on. Bang. Let's see if I can do this. Still haven't tried 1775 coffee. Now's your shot. The 1775 start kit just dropped only a thousand units. You're getting the bold dark roast that hits hard, the smooth medium roast, and the vitality mushroom coffee for clean energy and laser focus. No crash.

Bold beans, clean fuel, and a morning routine that stands for something just like Rumble does.

SPEAKER_09: 19:01

Nice. You're you know, we've read that ad so much, you're starting to get real smooth. Like, you know, like eventually I'll just have it memorized. Pretty soon you'll have it memorized. Marty Easel, solo son, we're in Cabo. Hey, we have an international podcast today. Crossing international borders. Okay, so Rob Reiner was murdered. Yeah. And the next morning Donald Trump posted this. And this caused. Oh my goodness, it just clogged. It was like Twitter X almost became unbearable. I just seeing this post over and over again. A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away together with his wife, Michelle, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as Trump derangement syndrome. Sometimes referred to as TDS, he was known to have driven people crazy by his raging obsession of Donald President Donald. J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the golden age of America upon us, perhaps like never above before, may Rob and Michelle rest in peace.

SPEAKER_16: 20:14

That is pretty harsh. That's the first time I've heard it.

SPEAKER_09: 20:18

Fair enough. Now, had he said, now, had he changed this, these two words right here, due to the, if he would have just said, uh, instead of due to the anger, if he would have just said he had anger or he he caused anger or something like that, right? If it wasn't due to, so this whole thing makes it look like he was murdered because he had TDS. Right. Does that make sense? So it does now. I'm not saying I like this, no, right? But at the same time, as the day went on, I was like, I don't care about this anymore.

SPEAKER_16: 20:50

No.

SPEAKER_09: 20:51

It doesn't even actually make the top 10 list of most offensive things Trump has said or done, right?

SPEAKER_16: 20:56

Yeah, I was actually hoping that we wouldn't even talk about this ever again. We can't not talk about it, right?

SPEAKER_09: 21:01

We can't not talk about it. So let's jump to Trump because you posted it, and oh my goodness, right? Everybody and their dog wanted to virtue signal and act like, ah, you can't do that. I I have real well, we'll get there in a sec. Okay, so this is Trump. He's asked about it. You know, do you want to take it back? A lot of Republicans are upset you've said it. Mr.

SPEAKER_01: 21:23

President, a number of Republicans have denounced your statement on True Social after the murder of Rob Reiner. Do you stand by that post?

SPEAKER_27: 21:31

Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was uh a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. He said uh he liked he knew it was false. In fact, it's the exact opposite that I was uh a friend of Russia controlled by Russia. You know, it was the Russia hooks. He was one of the people behind it. I think he hurt himself.

SPEAKER_09: 21:50

Did you hear that? He was one of the people behind it. Let's cut let's get back to that.

SPEAKER_27: 21:55

And yeah, career-wise, he became like a deranged person, Trump derangement syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape, or form. I thought he was very bad for our country. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09: 22:10

I thought he was very bad for his country. Now he said that, right? And he, you know, he was behind it. And it's like, what do you mean he was behind it? Yeah.

SPEAKER_16: 22:16

Can we just play that part again? Maybe I missed it. Oh, I just delete. I just go back. Sorry. So what did he say he was behind?

SPEAKER_09: 22:24

He's saying he's behind it. So this was behind what? Huh?

SPEAKER_16: 22:27

Behind what?

SPEAKER_09: 22:27

Russia Gate. Oh. Yeah, he was a part of it. So the C the CIA uh three, this is from Mike Benz, and uh he posted this quite a while ago. Okay, so the December 21st, 2022, uh he posts this. It's not a typo, seven living CIA directors, Michael Hayden, James Wosley, Leon Panetta, David Petraeus, Michael Morrall, William Webster, and Robert Gates on the board of the group deputized by DHS to censor your opinions about male and ballots during the election cycle. And then it ties into this group here. So this is uh Committee to Investigate Russia. Actor and producer Rob Reiner has served as the organization's director. Whoa. Full list of advisory board vendors remains publicly available at the committee's website. Advisory board Max Boot, heard that name before, military historian and foreign policy analysis, James Clapper, former National Director of Intelligence, Evelyn Farkas, PhD, former director of Secretary of Defense for US Ukraine, Eurasia, General Michael Hayden, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, uh, Michael Morrell, former actor, director of the CIA, Leon Panetta, and Rob Reiner, director, actor, and activist. Wow. Yeah. I had no idea. Yeah. So then it goes here. However, the Atlantic Capital represent uh this is Atlantic Council, which, if anybody who's familiar with that, they're, you know, another one of these cabal groups represents a powerful faction of U.S. foreign policy establishment in the displaym diplomacy, defense, and intelligence spheres. It has seven former CIA directors currently currently serving on its board, the same ones I just named, who and Rob Reiner sat on it with them. Zelensky's barisma council uh signed cooperative agreement, tying the whole thing into the the Russia gate scandal. So Rob Reiner's actually in the thick of it here.

SPEAKER_16: 24:13

Wow.

SPEAKER_09: 24:14

Yeah, totally unknown by us. He also was the one for anybody who's a QAnon person, right? Right when Trump was thrown out of office in 2020, January 2021, the Biden administration started using Black Rock or Black Castle or Castle Rock Studios or something like that. And that's where Biden was doing his little phony press conferences. That was like the fake press room thing that they did where they built a studio and they didn't let Americans know they weren't really doing the fake Oval Office. Yeah, Rob Reiner started that. That was his thing. So he's absolutely in the thick of it.

SPEAKER_16: 24:48

Wow.

SPEAKER_09: 24:48

Okay. Which again makes you go, huh? Here's another thing about Rob Reiner. Okay. Now this is Al Franken. Do you remember her Al Franken?

SPEAKER_16: 24:56

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_09: 24:56

Yeah. Al Franken, comedian turned. And I have to admit, when I was in my 20s in college, my dad always used to say, and this is this was this way growing up, if you're gonna read a book on one, you know, with one opinion, you have to read the other. Thank you, dad, for screwing up my brain. I could have just been a normal person, played on one team, but instead I had to, you know, mold my brain to be able to see one topic from both. Two paradigms. Yes. And that was really good. But my dad at the time he was saying that was because, you know, I was in college and he's like, I don't want to be a lefty, so you gotta read these right-wing books. So he would send me books from like Bill O'Reilly and Beck, and I'd be like, Great! And then I'd go out and buy a book by Al Franken, okay, and I would read them side by side. Sure. Al Franken was better at what he does than Bill O'Reilly. Let's put uh Bill O'Reilly or um Sean Hannity. He was well cited in his books, kind of funny, and wasn't wrong on his analysis of the war in Iraq and stuff like that. Okay. So I had a little bit of respect for Al Franken in the regard that he at least articulated his political viewpoints in books, right? Now, turns out as I grew up, he's an idiot. But this is Al Franken doing a roast of Rob Reiner. Now, you know how this stuff goes.

SPEAKER_18: 26:13

Sure.

SPEAKER_09: 26:13

Right? A little element of truth and every little thing, and it makes it kind of funny, and you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_16: 26:18

Well, some of it's a little funny because it gets a little close to the bone.

SPEAKER_09: 26:21

A little close to the bone.

SPEAKER_15: 26:23

Rob was routinely beaten by his father, Carl. On a typical night, Carl would slip into Rob's bed, roll him over, swab him down, and say something like, I'm thinking about hiring Maury Amsterdam to play Buddy Sorrell. What do you think? Well, the success of the Dick Van Dyke show changed things dramatically. Uh Carl started inviting many of his famous friends to son.

SPEAKER_09: 27:08

Rob was just referring to Rob. So apparently his dad had something to do with the Dick Van Dyke show. And uh there's Al Franken just, you know, joking at a comedy roast about child rape.

SPEAKER_16: 27:20

That is so funny. Ha ha ha ha.

SPEAKER_09: 27:22

Ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah. So it starts to make you kind of question like, what's the deal here, right? Well, let's get into it. So here's Rob Reiner and his son. Now, his son has dealt with serious drug addiction since he was a teenager. He was homeless as a teenager. Um, you know, real, real tragic.

SPEAKER_23: 27:38

And so turns out it was his son that did the killing, allegedly. Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle, are dead. It's unbelievable. Happened in Brentwood in a really nice community here in Los Angeles. Saturday night, TMZ reported a loud argument between Rob and his troubled son, Nick, at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party. The LAFD were called to the home on Chadbourne Street at 3 30 on Sunday. They arrived to find two slain bodies. Uh, I got this from a friend who lives in the community. I heard that the son, Nick, went into his parents' house, stabbed both mom and dad, and that the daughter, I guess, lives on the property or at the house or in the backhouse, and that she found them, and that the mom was still alive, and apparently she called the ambulance and went in the ambulance with her mother. Michelle died in the ambulance, but had enough time to tell her daughter that it was Nick, their son, who stabbed them, and that's why they figured it out so quickly, and he's in custody.

SPEAKER_09: 28:43

So he's got a four million dollar bond. Uh unlikely anybody's gonna come to his you know, bail on that one. But given just, you know, connect your own dots there. Connect your own dots on generational trauma, passing it on, kids that are drug addicted, why are they drug addicted? You can connect dots, right? This is not a healthy family. Despite his great TV shows and despite his great documentary, or not documentary, although he was producing a documentary about Trump and Russia, but despite his, you know, his talent in Hollywood, he lived a depraved, very messed up life. And he was, in fact, a part of the entire narrative, right? Because they brought in the movie director to direct the show, the Truman show that we've all been living through. It really makes you just go, huh. Maybe Trump is not that off his rocker here, right? He drove people crazy. Allegedly, the night before he was murdered at Conan O'Brien's uh Christmas party. Uh Rob and his son got into a very heated, loud, boisterous argument. And then the next day that happened. So really sad. Now, this feels a little crass. I don't like what Trump did. It would have been nice if he just said nothing at all or just said R.I.P., you know, whatever, but instead, you know, kind of turned MAGA on its head, and everybody's trying to make statements, and we don't want to be the thing we hate, right? They danced on Charlie Kirk's grave, and so we feel like we can't dance on other people's grave. And I'm like, well, that might be true for me, but Trump Trump can do whatever they he wants. Because you got to remember, if Rob Reiner is associated with all of that, Rob Reiner directly contributed to the bullet that flew past Trump's head.

SPEAKER_16: 30:30

Period. And not just the bullet, all kinds of bullets. Everything.

SPEAKER_09: 30:33

Lawfare, trying to lock him up, the squat and cough when he got booked, everything.

SPEAKER_16: 30:38

So I if you look at it in that perspective from those eyes, it's kind of very minor what he did.

SPEAKER_09: 30:44

That's why I said doesn't even make the top ten most offensive things he's done. Charlie Kirk never came out and like openly went, Tyler Robinson's up, you know. It just Charlie spoke his mind, spoke his truth, openly debated, and then that happened. Now, right.

SPEAKER_16: 30:58

It would have been it would have been as if somebody wanted to complain about Charlie Kirk complaining in a text about the guy that killed him.

SPEAKER_09: 31:04

Yeah. Now, Rob Reiner, when Charlie Kirk was murdered, did get on Piers Morgan and was like, hey, I don't want this political violence. It's not good. That kind of thing, right? Oh, great. Well, let's rewind the tape a little bit to when Rush Limbaugh died. Right? Rob Reiner came out and danced all over Rush Limbaugh's grave. So to me, it's like, I don't even care, right? But it sucked up so much of the news feed yesterday, I was like, oh my goodness. I mean, or dude, they could pass any law they wanted right now in the legislature. The media will not be there to cover it because they're all on X, you know, trying to gotcha to some conservatives. This is my take. Okay. This is my take. I share it with this guy.

SPEAKER_07: 31:48

So after Donald Trump's recent post about Rob, aka Meathead, I love it. The left is waking up to the fact that MAGA is no longer interested in taking high ground. As Napoleon Bonaparte once said, high ground is only useful for artillery. You see, due to prolonged leftist violence, censorship, and their insatiable love for political unaliving, as with Mr. Kirk. MAGA has no regard to leftist grievances. Our condolences for them are absent. This is cause and effect. And the left is waking up to that. Again, dear boy. Taking high ground is only useful for artillery.

SPEAKER_09: 32:44

And I think that's where we're at. This is a zero-sum game. Somebody has to lose, somebody has to win. And the people who hold their punches are gonna lose. The Democrats have not held their punches. They've been willing to steal your vote. They've been willing to put your family members, for some of the people listening, in jail. Right? They've been willing to take shots at political figures. They've been willing to plant evidence. Look at Cheryl Atkinson, right? Planting child pornography on her husband's computer.

unknown: 33:09

Fact.

SPEAKER_09: 33:10

Right? In order to stop her reporting on Fast and Furious. Why? Because they were about to open the border and they wanted to arm the cartels a little bit more sufficiently. Okay. This stuff is this is what we're up against. So Greg Gutfeld on his show, Gerald Ford, you know, typical, this is horrible that Trump did this. Gerald, you're on the wrong side of every freaking argument. And Greg Gutfeld basically countered him and said, listen, words don't matter, deeds do. Yep.

SPEAKER_31: 33:35

So sad. If Joe Biden had said this about anybody, I would have attacked him and said he was completely wrong. I do hope the president comes back and corrects himself.

SPEAKER_09: 33:42

Um Joe Biden said nasty things about me. Remember the red speech? Do you remember calling Trump supporters garbage? I mean, who cares?

SPEAKER_06: 33:50

He was asked to and he didn't. And I think the thing is, you don't have to like the things that he says all the time. It is why in my filter, Trump is always words versus deeds. I don't have to like what he says. In fact, I can hate what he says, but I can also think in his brain, he's going, uh, this guy compared me to Hitler. He put a target on my back. I don't like him. It's like, well, if it were me, I'd go like that. I'm sorry he's dead. But he can't let that go. We don't have to like it. I just look at the deeds, but I get why you're upset.

SPEAKER_31: 34:21

It's wrong. I didn't say I know you can, I don't disagree with you, but it's wrong. And we should be able to call out right and wrong. We tried, we talked about on the show this morning this earlier. That's wrong what he did.

SPEAKER_09: 34:30

Okay, see this man right here? This is a man right here who denied the border was open because Biden said it wasn't open. So do we care about the words or do we care about the deeds? The deed was the open border. The words were it's not an open border. Yesterday, Hakeem Jeffries, not one dollar of Medicaid money goes to illegal immigrants. Your words don't match reality. It's the Truman show. Bring in the producer, bring in the director. Maybe we can get the zeitgeist to just think that um open border is closed, that up is down and left is right. Or whatever we say. Whatever we say, right? But again, virtue signaling, and of course, panickins on the right and pollsters. Oh my gosh, Trump's gonna lose 10 points because of this. No, they won't. No, no, they won't. No one's gonna care in a couple days at all.

unknown: 35:13

Right?

SPEAKER_18: 35:14

I didn't care immediately.

SPEAKER_09: 35:15

Yeah, you didn't care immediately. I was more annoyed by it. You know, I I I actually put out a post like, oh, this is kind of gross, not my thing. But then by the end of the day, I'm like, do it again, Trump, do it again.

SPEAKER_16: 35:26

You know, I watched so little news, it didn't annoy me. Oh man.

SPEAKER_09: 35:31

Okay, it was also really frustrated because I had no power and I have no cell server in my house. So like the last image. Oh my god. Well, every time I would get close to the window or something in my news screen would update. Of course, this is all the the high click engagement. So I'd have to scroll through 97 of his posts before I could find anything that wasn't about Rob Reiner. Oh my goodness. Okay, so on to another topic. We had the shooting at Brown University the other day. This is wild. So they took a suspect into custody, followed his phone, he drove from Wisconsin.

SPEAKER_16: 36:01

You're gonna have to tell tell me the story because I know nothing about this really. Well, I don't even know where Brown University is. It's on the East Coast, right?

SPEAKER_09: 36:09

Rhode Island. It's one of the it's I think it's the most expensive school in the country. It has a student body that is like 99% left. There's literally a handful of conservatives or Christians that openly attend this school.

SPEAKER_17: 36:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_09: 36:22

And there the that handful of people happened to be gathered together to kind of celebrate the first day of Hanukkah and the holiday festivities. And it was also a little bit of a um, I don't know if it was a political event, but the few students that were involved in like campus Republicans were there. And uh ultimately what happened is nine, uh two are dead, nine were injured in the shooting. So they were targeted. They were targeted. Okay. Yes. Now, uh speaking of targeting, we'll get to that in a moment. So the shooter yelled something when he shot. Now, presumably we all assume it's Allah Akbar. But now and it would have made sense with the guy they arrested from Wisconsin because yes, he was a Muslim, right? Okay, but now we don't know who it is. They've released that guy. So despite the fact that he drove with guns, could have just been he drove with guns. He's former military, he just brought his guns with him to college. You know what I mean? Like I would do the same thing, you know. But I also have my couch, you know what I'm saying? Like what do you want with me? My laundry. Yeah. So uh, but and so he got away. Now there's allegedly like 800 cameras, but the only images they've released, you know, for us to help find the shooter are literally just a guy in all black, like no face shots, no.

SPEAKER_17: 37:36

So they don't want him to be found.

SPEAKER_09: 37:38

It's bewildering. It's bewildering. So this is the Fox News commentary on it.

SPEAKER_08: 37:43

I mean, they got the guy's height, they got his weight, and they go, Well, you want to update the country on what this guy's ID looks like? And they go, We'll put it on the website. Right. You have millions of people watching the press conference live, and you don't want to tell anybody? You say, Oh, I'll put it out on a website. Come on. Is the guy 220? Is he Caucasian? What? They didn't even do it. And then they get the timeline wrong. Like Dana said, hey, we're looking for tips on someone that wears black.

SPEAKER_09: 38:13

Please flood our inbox with tips. Does it hit$50,000 reward? Who is this? Well, I'm gonna see everybody. I saw some guys wearing black. I'd like to send a tip to all males in Rhode Island. Please investigate, right?

SPEAKER_16: 38:26

So he's totally right. This guy's totally right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08: 38:29

I can't hear a word he said. Everyone's trying to back off. No one knows what's going on. It's three days later, after a gunman walked into an Ivy League University building and murdered the vice president of the College of Republicans, killed two people, injured 11, and walks away. We don't know where he is, we don't know what he is, and doesn't seem to be that concerning to the people that were delivering that press conference. This was a premeditated target attack. The guy was casing the facility beforehand. They have 800 cameras at this university. They didn't have a camera at the entrance to the building so you can see who goes in and out of the building. This is stupid. I feel bad for the people of Providence. I feel terrible for the people of Brown University. And they have to get this together. It was 20 minutes after the shooting took place that they even sent out an alert to the student body. They never even had any sirens going off on campus. They didn't even do it. They blew it. And then they got the wrong guy and said, oops, okay, well, never mind. And then they say, Trust us, the place is safe. Well, I'm sorry. No one trusts you guys. It's a mess up there. And I really hope they get this guy soon because every day that goes by, you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_09: 39:46

They got the guy's kids are still just walking around campus with a guy who just maliciously went in and shot the Republican Party on campus. Right now, this is Mark Halperin on the morning meeting, and he got a tip.

SPEAKER_20: 39:58

Are telling me that the family. Of um uh I just need to look up her name. I apologize. Ella Cook. Thank you, Mark. Thank you. Thank you. That the family of Ella Cook, the Alabama, a young woman who was a sophomore, uh, has been told that she was the target of of what happened at Brad. I have no idea whether that's true. Uh there's other theories about why the person did what they did, but now that we don't know who the the assailant is, it's it's it's it's gonna be harder to say. But if it's true that she was targeted, that's a big story because she was one of the most visible conservatives on that campus. Don't know that it's true, but probably most of you don't even know that that that's being alleged because you'd have to follow certain accounts on X or have sources as I do who are telling me that. So um uh uh Amber, if if she was targeted, and again, we don't know that, but if she were targeted, uh, what would the implications of that be?

SPEAKER_24: 40:51

Well, I'll start with a couple of of things that I think lend credence to that theory, which is one, typically when we see maskful shooters, they don't just stop and walk away, right? Usually they keep going until they're apprehended by police, shot dead, or they kill themselves.

SPEAKER_20: 41:08

Yeah, Amber, let me just stop in. I should I should have been clear. She was the the number two person at the young Republicans branch on Brown's campus. So that's that's why that's why some people are concerned if she were targeted. Go ahead, Amber, I apologize.

SPEAKER_24: 41:20

Right. Well, and and the other thing is if the police are telling Brown students that they are safe, they don't have to shelter in place anymore, but they don't have a suspect in custody, I think that also suggests that this was some kind of targeted attack. Um sadly, I wouldn't be surprised. Um you know, when I was on campus at Georgetown, I was chair of the College Republicans. I had to report multiple threats against me uh in my final two years on campus.

SPEAKER_16: 41:51

Alright, I got a little bit of a hot take on this one.

SPEAKER_24: 41:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16: 41:55

So I'm just gonna say that if you're not willing to help people identify this guy, this is a hired assassin. He's an assassin.

SPEAKER_09: 42:09

Yeah. Yeah. And you know, in our current zeitgeist, if he'd have said Allah Akbar, we probably would have heard that. And they did arrest a Muslim who traveled, and so it connected. But now they're like, oh, it wasn't that guy. I'm sure they just interviewed him and he had great alibis and he had a res, you know, whatever. And he's like, right? Probably destroyed his life. He's probably gonna have to sue whoever leaked his name to the press, okay? But now it's like, oh, this is some entity on right violence. If it was targeted against her, why? Is this an ex-boyfriend? Or is this someone who walked into the room on campus where all the conservatives would be gathered by that time?

SPEAKER_16: 42:53

You know what I mean? This is definitely trying to send a message.

SPEAKER_09: 42:55

And given that Providence and This is just like a Charlie Carrick killing. Yeah, and given that Providence and given that uh the school is so left, the fact that they don't want to say someone came on their campus and potentially targeted the conservatives. Tells me they know who it is. Or the motive. They know what he yelled out, right? You know, Charlie 2.0, I don't know, who knows? But the fact that they won't tell us what he yelled out is like, hmm. Okay. Now you're leaving a lot of speculation because half half the world speculates it's another Islamic attack, and the other half of the world specul is now going to speculate that this is.

SPEAKER_16: 43:33

Well, if you want to go full conspiracy, a lot of people would just say, well, they just want you to think what you want, but they it doesn't matter as long as it foments anger enough to kick something off. Yep. Yep.

SPEAKER_09: 43:44

So again, I don't know the answer. I hate these stories with every fiber of my being, but it's part of the calculus that we have to do is we kind of are analyzing the world around us. You know what I mean? You've we've got a real breakdown in law and order, and we have a real breakdown in people just being, and here's the thing, I know this is like a phrase the leftists, being empathetic, right? We're not being very empathetic, right? We're not understanding that like we might disagree on tax policy, we might disagree on a whole host of things. But at the end of the day, you're a human being, I'm a human being. We have to agree to disagree and live our own lives. That was that's supposed that was supposed to be the beauty of America, is we can agree to disagree and still be neighbors, just build a taller fence. Okay, but the violence, you know, that that is the uh natural outflow of people not being able to resolve their differences with words and ballot boxes. I want to make this point. When you can't resolve your differences with words, you go to the ballot box. And then when you can't resolve it at the ballot box because your elections are being stolen, and the people who have won the argument and who have the actual majority of the country behind them can't implement policy or change anything, it's going to result in this on both sides. It's the natural consequence and outflow, which makes you wonder when these countries like Venezuela, Russia, Iran, China, and they play the long game, if that's not the whole point. Let's get these guys to be at each other's throats. A weak America, a divided America is America that cannot police its borders and cannot police the world financial system, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So let's move on from that.

SPEAKER_16: 45:22

You can't make your own bed.

SPEAKER_09: 45:24

You can't make your own bed. Yep. So let's move on from that. Uh, just the news reported yesterday. FBI to give Congress bombshell memos warning the Biden DOJ didn't have probable cause to raid Trump home. Surprise. Surprise! In another episode of Conspiracy Theorist Bat in a thousand, Attorney General Pam Bonnie and Director Cash Patel are preparing to turn over to Congress bombshell emails showing the FBI warned that the Biden Department, Justice Department did not have probable cause to raid Donald Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago, but the prosecutors proceeded anyways. The emails are going to be turned over as early as Tuesday to the Senate House Judiciary Committee ahead of a planned deposition from ex-special prosecutor Jack Smith. So brilliant. Let's send the stuff that they need to prepare one day before the guy shows up. Now he was scheduled to come previously, so assuming he had come previously and testified, you know, he wouldn't have been able to address this. But now they're going to at least be able to ask him, assuming our representatives that are going to be in that committee hearing, which is going to be behind closed doors, assuming they actually prep for the meeting, right? Which more and more where it's like, I don't know if these guys prep. The memos show that the FBI's field office does not believe quote, does not believe they established probable cause, end quote, prior to raiding Trump's Ford home, according to one source of direct knowledge of the memos. It has long been rumored that some FBI agents disagreed with the decision to raid Trump's home and to look for classified documents at the request of the National Archives. What? Yeah, that, you know, this is again, how deep does the corruption go? The National Archives, like, we need our classified documents back. They're not yours, man. The raid became a flashpoint in the battle between Biden and Trump ahead of the 2024 election. The Committee on the Judiciary is continued to conduct oversight of the operations of the Office of Special Counsel, wrote Jim Jordan. Due to your service as special counsel, the committee believes that you possess information that's vital to its oversight. So he's supposed to testify tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. But, you know, just you know, another thing, FBI covering up. What's fascinating to me there is the chain of command. So right now with Trump, he has certain departments that just will not do what he asked them to do. But yet here you had the Biden DOJ where the FBI goes, hey, we don't have probable cause. He's like, Ah, that's okay, do it anyways. There are no cops. The cops that are supposed to be in charge of following the law and arresting lawbreakers and conspirators are working for the guy.

SPEAKER_16: 47:46

Right? There are no laws, there are only causes. Or do they just do it on their own?

SPEAKER_09: 47:49

It's it's it's really great to say that you have to have probable cause to raid someone's house. That's a great law. But if you don't follow it, then all you really have is power. You just have who's willing to do it, right? And clearly the Biden administration was willing to do it. It kind of does make you wonder why, right? Why? So here is John Solomon again. That was that last article is from just the news. Here's John Solomon again. Apparently, the FBI has been covering up for political leaders for a while. No surprise there.

SPEAKER_25: 48:20

Look, this is reminiscent of exactly what they did under with Hunter Biden and with Joe Biden when they were being investigated. I read, you know, I read the uh depositions where you had inside government officials who were whistleblowers who came to the table and they said, This is happening now. We were told we could not uh further investigate, we couldn't ask certain questions, we weren't able to get information that we needed, you know, documents, investigations were told to stop. We were taken off of cases. Um, this is prevalent in the FBI.

SPEAKER_09: 48:50

Um, they so basically what she's saying, and it's both the Clinton investigations and the Hunter Biden laptop investigations, whistleblowers were coming out being like, hey, we have a there, there. Hey, we actually have probable cause right here. And they're like, no, no, don't investigate it, leave it alone. And then over here, they're like, hey, we don't have probable cause. They're like, guns are blazing, deadly force. Yeah, full steam ahead. Full steam ahead. Okay. Cash Patel really campaigned for Trump as a surrogate saying that he was going to turn the FBI into a mausoleum to the weaponization of government in the deep state. He wrote a book called Government Gangsters. And here he is in government. And I I gotta tell you, man, I don't know that he has control of the gang. Right. I think James Comey and John Bernon and those guys left some gangsters behind. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_25: 49:33

Have this deep interstate that is protecting folks like Clintons, folks like the Bidens. And I think what you're seeing under the Trump administration is they're saying enough is enough, we're gonna expose it. So, you know, thanks be to Cash Patel, to Pam Bondi for looking at it and for what Jim Jordan and James Comey continue to do by asking these questions, and for my own chairman, Jason Smith, who's going after and asking these questions. We need to have more whistleblowers that feel safe, that they can come out and tell us exactly what's happening within this state. But let's not ignore that it's happening. And it's this is just the tip of the iceberg. You're gonna see more and more of these uh uh horrible uh examples of corruption come out as we investigate it further.

SPEAKER_09: 50:12

I love seeing this reminiscent of exactly what I would like to see is some examples of accountability. It it's really getting annoying, right? I mean, it's good for it's good for the podcasts, it's good for business, it's good for daily content, you know, expose, expose, expose. But I'm I'm kind of tired of it. I I really would like to see some examples of accountability. I'd like to see what that looks like.

SPEAKER_16: 50:32

Yeah, it'd be really nice if we could just wrap the show up.

SPEAKER_09: 50:35

Yeah, we don't look, we're done. America, friends! No more corruption. I this is super frustrating for me because in my particular case with January 6th, I didn't argue the case, right? I didn't argue the facts, I didn't argue, you know, oh, you led the mob. I didn't leave nothing. Oh, you destructed Congress. I showed up 30 minutes late. You know what I mean? Like the whole thing was ridiculous. And I just said, okay, I'll take it. Yep, I'll be accountable. I even said that, Judge, I'm an accountable man. Right? If I committed a crime, I'll do the time. I expected to pay a$50 ticket. So I accepted my licks, I accepted my punishment, even though I didn't feel like it was fair. Sure, I complained, I wrote some essays, I did what I was entitled to do in my own defense to the public and my friends and family, right? But I took my licks. So I'd like to see some other people take some licks. I'd like to see them actually be held accountable for this stuff. I hope it's coming, but the clock is ticking. We have 24 days until the statute of limitations runs up on any crimes related to J6. It's over after that. It's over after that, and then we no longer will have examples of accountability. We will just have some disclosure about how they fucked my life up. That's all we'll have. Sorry, Dad. I know you tune out when I say the F-word. Okay, but that's all you're gonna end up with. Right? These people are so corrupt. The District of Columbia specifically, while I'm rotting in a prison for a non-crime, guess what they were doing?

SPEAKER_11: 51:57

Let a House Oversight Committee now releasing a report accusing the outgoing DC police chief of manipulating data to artificially lower crime statistics. Bill Melusian, looking at the numbers, he's live on the That's all they did.

SPEAKER_09: 52:11

They manipulated data to say we have white supremacist crimes all over the country. It's the largest segment of crimes. Yeah, because you got 2,000 open cases on January 6ers. And you're categorizing us as like white supremacist criminals, which is probably one of the reasons why, by the way, why they didn't arrest the pipe bomber, who may or may not be the pipe bomber, everybody was black. Right? Manipulating crime statistics of actual criminals.

SPEAKER_10: 52:39

Bill, good morning to you. Those House Oversight Committee Republicans say the bottom line of what their investigation found is that the outgoing DC police chief was essentially cooking the books on crime data and trying to make the city seem a whole lot safer than it really was. Now, those House Republicans say what their investigation consisted of was interviewing all seven commanders of DC Metro Police's patrol districts, including a former commander who's currently suspended for allegedly tampering with crime stats in his own district. And these are some of the conclusions they've made in their report. They alleged that DC Metro Police Chief Pamela Smith pressured commanders to report lower crime stats by any means necessary. The commanders testified that Chief Smith even pushed them to pursue lesser charges that aren't publicly reported, even for serious crimes, and she required certain crimes to be reviewed by her office.

SPEAKER_09: 53:30

Meanwhile, in the building next door, they're pushing them to increase the crimes and overcharge January 6th defendants. In the same courtrooms where they would be prosecuting real criminals in DC, they were making room on the docket for me.

SPEAKER_10: 53:43

Now the report also says police commanders testified that Chief Smith punished them and retaliated against them if they tried to report accurate rising crime data, even berating them in meetings and individually to pressure them into reporting those lower crime figures. Now, in a statement on the report, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer says in part, quote, Chief Pamela Smith coerced staff to report artificially low crime data and cultivated a culture of fear to achieve her agenda.

SPEAKER_09: 54:13

Do you remember when Biden would give his speeches and they would say things like, we'd be like, hey, I think crime's up in town. I think it's getting pretty violent out there. No, violent crime is down. I mean, we're hardly seeing any. I mean, this is the lowest murder rate we've ever seen. Yeah, because you're not charging murder. You're charging, you're charging people with assault instead of murder.

SPEAKER_16: 54:30

That's the same outfit that would say is a mostly peaceful protest while the buildings are on fire.

SPEAKER_09: 54:38

A mostly peaceful protest. Yeah, exactly. It's true. Okay, so the other thing that Donald Trump did yesterday, and this is a really big deal, in the White House, while everybody was out barking about Rob Reiner, the dirt bag who was murdered by his son, okay, while everybody was whining about that, Donald Trump marched into the White House a whole wall of top military brass. And then he made this declaration.

SPEAKER_27: 55:09

Today I'm taking one more step to protect Americans from the scourge of deadly fentanyl flooding into our country with this historic executive order I will sign today for formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. Which is what it is. No bomb does what this is doing. 200 to 300,000 people die every year. That we know of. So we're formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

SPEAKER_09: 55:42

Today that changes the game big time. Now, of course, million Republicans like Massey and uh Massey and Rand Paul are like, you can't just reclassify drugs as weapons of mass destruction. That's not fair. Hey, listen, man, two to three hundred thousand people dying, that's a weapon of mass destruction.

SPEAKER_18: 56:02

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_09: 56:02

Whatever laws you have that don't define it as that, while we were out giving our blood and sacrifice, and my friends were losing legs and lives overseas looking for yellow cake. Yeah. They should have been looking for fentanyl next door.

SPEAKER_16: 56:14

If freaking MMs killed that many people, that company would be shut down. They'd take them off the shelf. And they'd be thrown in jail. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09: 56:21

Fentanyl is second only to the mRNA vaccine. So that's coming down the pipe. It's probably need another 10 years for that really to mature. But I imagine that, you know, really unfortunate stat. Yeah, unfortunately. Yeah. Fentanyl is only second fiddle to the mRNA vaccine as far as mass death that it's causes, right?

SPEAKER_16: 56:48

Um, so they get a Fauci thrown in jail.

SPEAKER_09: 56:53

Jeez. So this is this is really important because this fent this war against fentanyl, A, it affects all of us. Like Ron, I know that it's probably a, you know, I don't know how close you get, but you lost a brother to fentanyl.

SPEAKER_18: 57:04

Yes.

SPEAKER_09: 57:05

Right? We've all lost somebody to fentanyl. I remember one time I was sitting in in a Philadelphia detention center back when I was in prison. And uh when I showed up there, it's all blacks, all Mexicans, and there's like six white guys. So we show up, and uh, you know, white guy has to come down. Who are you? What are your charges? Why are you here? Because they got to decide if they need to beat me up or not. And I'm like, oh, I'm gonna do a green sixer, like, oh, okay, cool. No, we know about that. So uh, anyways, but the guy that was the shot caller sometimes it's just like those funny things that come out of your mouth. You know, like it's a very serious. I had to talk go talk to the shock caller in prison. Um, and I was talking to the shock caller. Now he was a fentanyl dealer, right? And he would just buy it, literally, he would buy fentanyl online. Just he'd go to a website and he'd put in his Visa card and he would buy fentanyl and they would send it in the mail, and it would show up at his house in a package, and he would take it out and then he would put it into pills. He had a pill press and he distributed a lot of fentanyl.

SPEAKER_16: 58:03

And you found out that it was really cheap to buy and really profitable.

SPEAKER_09: 58:08

Yes, and he himself was an addict as well, right? And so, anyways, when he came into prison, he was all skin and bones and he'd put on some weight because he'd been there almost a year and sober, and he was actually one of those guys, he's like, Listen, I'm a different person sober. He's like, you know, I needed this. I'm gonna go to prison for 15, 20 years. What I did was wrong. Like he was very, you know, repentant about it. Like he'd gotten clear, clear-minded in prison. It's unfortunate that he got in that position. But fentanyl was just like no big deal. And one time and we were talking, because he grew up literally like we were in the high school, the prison was in his high school. Like, he's like, This is my neighbor. I this is it, right?

SPEAKER_16: 58:46

I can almost smell my mom's cooking.

SPEAKER_09: 58:48

Yeah, he's like, the federal prison was actually close, or the Fred, the Federal Detention Center is closer to my house than the jail that I would have than the county jail. So he's like, in his graduating class in high school in downtown Philadelphia, he was like, you know, graduating class of 900 people or whatever. He's like, he's like, I stopped attending funerals when I was about 25 or 26, and I'd attended like 35. And he's like, and those were just the friends I had. He says, I think my graduating class has already had like 200 people die.

SPEAKER_07: 59:17

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_09: 59:18

I mean, we're talking generational devastation. These are war statistics. This is no different than you look at like the death toll of youth in Paris during World War II or World War I. It was it's taking an entire generation of kids.

SPEAKER_16: 59:33

It's taking the future generations too.

SPEAKER_09: 59:35

Yes. Um in terms of the So the cutting down on fentanyl obviously is a big deal, and Trump is using all the tools that he's had available to it. Up until now, he's used economic tools to fight terrorism. Sounds like or fight fentanyl. Sounds like he's got some more tools now with the military. He brought the military brass in.

SPEAKER_16: 59:53

Weapons of mass destruction.

SPEAKER_09: 59:54

Weapons of mass destruction.

SPEAKER_16: 59:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09: 59:56

Right. That was no like. I I showed the image with the fentanyl in half. I should have just showed him talking.

SPEAKER_16: 1:00:03

Everyone behind him was Yeah, we I didn't see any of that image.

SPEAKER_09: 1:00:06

So Yeah, it was pretty cool. So this is Scott Bessett talking about fentanyl and how tariffs tie in together.

SPEAKER_04: 1:00:15

This is really a national security issue. When when you think about it, the the way President Trump has been able to use his AIPA powers for national security, if the Supreme Court goes the other way, it will be a loss for the American people. That President Trump look at the drop in fentanyl deaths. Because President Trump was able to put fentanyl tariffs on the China, Mexico, Canada. We we have seen a substantial drop in the deaths. China is cooperating on fentanyl for the first time in more than a decade. When China attempted to put an export control on rare earth magnets, President Trump said he put on a 100% tariff, and they immediately came to the table that we are rebalancing trade. And this year, for the calendar year, we are going to shrink the deficit by several hundred billion dollars. So economic security is national security. So this ruling is really a national security ruling.

SPEAKER_09: 1:01:18

And if they rule against the administration, they will be ruling against national security and and if you look at what has happened to the United States really over the last 30 years, go all the way back to the fall of the Berlin Wall when we no longer had the enemy to fight and we became the hegemonic power, right? Well, if you go back at that moment and you start plotting things out on the chart, right? Increase in social benefits, extra spending, you know, um, really embarrassing the White House with Bill Clinton. That was a big deal. The Monik Lewinsky scandal internationally, that was like a big deal. Like it really discredited the White House and it made other world leaders look at the United States as kind of a joke. Okay, like it was a bigger deal than sometimes we let on. History will tell that story. There's a lot of leaders around the world that are like, we don't take them seriously anymore. Because the facade of Bill Clinton having been this, you know, picked himself up from the bootstraps or from broken broken, right? So you go through, but you plot the policy decisions. You plot, you know, you you start looking at all the different scandals, and you get into 9-11 and and you know, you just plot it all along, and you think if you were to destroy a nation that was the hegemonic power of the world that you couldn't defeat on a battlefield, how would you do it? If you were to map that out, it pretty much, it pretty much is going to describe the last 30 years. All the things you had to do to destabilize the world. Now, there were some seeds planted. Obviously, the communists had infiltrated education and these different things, but they took those seeds and they just watered them. Yeah, no conservatives in the university. Let's do that for 60 years and see where we go. Yeah, let's get, you know, all of our politicians bought off and insider stock trading. Yeah, let's see where that takes us.

SPEAKER_16: 1:02:51

Let's take God out of everything.

SPEAKER_09: 1:02:53

Let's let's uh do a crime bill that devastates the inner community and destroys the black family, and then we're gonna add meth to it, which now we're gonna destroy inner cities, right? And and it's like, oh, and by the way, your own government is trafficking drugs. Okay, so you do all you map it all out, and you're like, whoa, we were really invaded by a mind virus at the very least. But if anything else, it was by all the foreign actors that got involved with this, which more and more were, you know, slowly but surely being revealed. Now, Marco Rubio, Donald Trump, everybody, they are building a coalition around the world of leaders who want to fight this it, right? They want to fight whatever it is that's really destroying our sovereign, not America's sovereignty, but sovereignty of other nations around the world. Yesterday, Paraguay and the United States signed a very important cooperation agreement, and this was on the backdrop of declaring fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction. So when you pair all this stuff up and you look at these agreements, because it's a weapon of mass destruction, that gives the military a lot of authority and a lot of capability to go in and partner with these nations and provide resources to fight it.

SPEAKER_29: 1:03:59

Status of forces agreement it demonstrates our shared commitment to security, regional security. Well, the the biggest threat in the Western hemisphere that we face is a threat of transnational criminals networks, transnational terrorist uh networks. We've said this if you see it in our uh in the document we put out just about 10 days ago in our national security strategy. If you look at the fundamental problem in the hemisphere, the most serious problem we have in our hemisphere is these transnational terrorist organizations who are not ideologically terrorists in many cases, but are financial and economic in their basis, but nonetheless are operating as terrorist organizations and threaten the stability and security of the region. It's a problem we see in multiple places, and we need strong partners to confront it. We need strong partners in the region that understand that that's the biggest threat in our hemisphere and are committed to working with us to confronting it. And we can do it in a way that also respects the sovereignty of our partner nations. So what we signed today is a status of forces agreement that allows us to formalize a partnership that already exists and that we want to build upon, that allows us to train together, that allows us to advance uh the transfer of equipment that they need for their own security, to allow us to share intelligence in real time, to allow us to operate together when necessary. And in the case of any contingencies, by the way, this this includes having an opportunity to very quickly partner on humanitarian responses, be it's natural disasters or anything else. So we're excited for this to do for ability to do this today. Paraguay is among our strongest allies in the world, but certainly in the region, and we want to continue to find concrete ways to work together and operate together. And by the way, this extends beyond the security realm. This is not just a security matter. This agreement is about security, but we also want to extend and expand our cooperation on the economic front. Uh, there's a lot of good things, positive things happening in Paraguay, tremendous potential to make Paraguay a richer country and do so in partnership with American economic interests in a way that further binds our two countries together and makes us stronger. So we're very grateful for that.

SPEAKER_09: 1:05:58

That's pretty cool. I kind of feel like right now, you know, in South America, you've got Lula in Brazil, who Lula is a bad news bears, real bad news bears. And they're kind of trying to figure out, you know, they're kind of surrounding them. You got Argentina, now Paraguay, and you know, Chile over here, and we're gonna get Venezuela. It's happening. It's like they're kind of pinning that in. Uh just so you know, Brazil exclusively votes on Dominion voting machines. Exclusively. No paper ballots or anything. It's just go in, hit the buttons.

SPEAKER_16: 1:06:30

Hit all the buttons you want. You can smash them like a like.

SPEAKER_09: 1:06:34

In fact, you don't even need to show up, dude. We'll just vote for you. Algorithm's preset.

SPEAKER_16: 1:06:39

And if you get three things in a row, tech pot.

SPEAKER_09: 1:06:43

Now, uh Elon Musk had this to say about school indoctrination. And I think, again, there's so many things that I sometimes, you know, every day I say sometimes I hate these kind of negative topics, but it has to do with perspective. We just have to see with clear eyes, right? Public education is a struggle. Why? Because it doesn't teach you anything really valuable. Elon Musk used this as an example.

SPEAKER_33: 1:07:05

The amount of indoctrination that that's happening in schools and and universities is I think far beyond what parents realize. Let me give you an example that a friend of mine told me, which uh you know, his uh daughters uh go to high school in in the Bay Area, and he he was asking them like, you know, who are the first few presidents of the United States? Uh the name Washington, uh, but and I said, Well, what do you know about him? Well, he was a slave owner. What else? Right. Exactly. Like, uh, okay, that's maybe we should know more than that. You know. Yeah. Yeah. Slavery is obviously a a a horrific institution, but we should still know more about George Washington than that. The amount of indoctrination.

SPEAKER_09: 1:07:43

You know, when I went to the uh George Washington's house in Mount Vernon, I was surprised at how much they talked to us about slavery. It's like, hey man, we get it. Like it's okay. Because of this guy, we eventually got rid of the institution. Like, it's all right. Like, not everything can be fixed in one generation. You know what I mean? And I think that that's one of the things that we have to recognize with Donald Trump. Like, a lot of these problems, he ain't gonna fix them all. He's just changing the trajectory so that we can fix them down the road. He's giving you and I, Ron, the tools to be able to have an election that matters, that our campaigning will actually make a difference, that when we go out and volunteer and door knock, that the results will bear fruit in the ballot box, right? And then we can change policy. He's just trying to rebuild the dam and stop the bleeding, right? So that this is incredibly important because while we're fighting all these international monsters, we have domestic monsters as well. Now, this is this is a um uh this is arrests that were they thwarted a terror plot in LA. And this is basically college kids that were planning a bombing in LA. Now, there's allegations that there were informants and Whitmer kidnapping plot 3.0, right? I don't care about all that. Whoever's involved with this, they had a mindset that allowed them to get caught up in it.

SPEAKER_34: 1:08:59

Defendants are Audrey Carroll, 30 years old.

SPEAKER_09: 1:09:02

The pictures, I think we have them some So 30 years old, you know, not that old. Just probably got out of college, still probably hanging around campus.

SPEAKER_34: 1:09:09

Somewhere, we'll put them up here. Audrey Carroll, 30 years old, Zachary Aaron Page, 32, Dante Gaffield, 24, and Tina Lay, 41, each from the Los Angeles area. Each is charged with conspiracy and possession of an unregistered destructive device in violation of Title 26, United States Code Section 5861D. We intend to file additional charges in the coming weeks as we finish reviewing the evidence. The defendants are all radical anti-government members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, which, according to their own social media, is an anti-capitalist, anti-government movement that calls for their associates to rise up and fight back against capitalism. One of the leaders of the organization, defendant Audrey Carroll, helped organize an even more radical faction of the group called the Order of the Black Lotus. Each of the defendants charged today was also a member of the Order of the Black Lotus. Carroll described this group to her co-conspirators as everything radical. As detailed in the federal complaint, which we will now make public, in November 2025, Defendant Carroll created a detailed bombing plot to use explosive devices to attack five or more locations across Southern California on this upcoming New Year's Eve. Carroll and her co-defendant, Zachary Page, led the effort to obtain and build the bombs and to recruit others to join in their plot. Carroll's bomb plot was explicit. It included a step-by-step instructions to build IEDs or improvised explosive devices and listed multiple targets across Orange County and Los Angeles. Carol also made clear her desires. She said, quote, what we are doing will be considered a terrorist act. Carol and Paige also discussed plans for follow-up attacks after their bombings, which included plans to target ICE agents and vehicles with pipe bombs.

SPEAKER_09: 1:11:11

Carol's In my opinion, where did this start? Believing George Washington was nothing other than a slave owner. Right? You got an ad?

SPEAKER_16: 1:11:18

Yeah. Go for it. Let's do it. Oh no! What? What is that?

SPEAKER_09: 1:11:24

Refresh, refresh! Don't anybody go away. We need every listener to hear this ad. Otherwise, they won't let us read it.

SPEAKER_18: 1:11:32

Come on, man.

SPEAKER_09: 1:11:34

Come on. That was a head for steak. That was gonna be a good one.

SPEAKER_16: 1:11:38

No, shoot. All right.

SPEAKER_09: 1:11:39

Well, you pull that up. There's one other. This is a sad story. This is local. This is Bellevue just across the beach sound from us. I got it.

Pow. Ooh, that sounds tasty.

SPEAKER_16: 1:12:53

Yeah. Buttery.

SPEAKER_09: 1:12:55

Okay, so this is a little bit of a sad story. This is local here, Bellevue. Um, not something you would expect in Bellevue.

SPEAKER_12: 1:13:00

We're following some breaking news out of Bellevue right now. A man is now charged with stabbing a police officer before another officer shot him. This happened at the Bellevue Transit Station. You'll recall on Friday. Court documents say that Mohammed Bangora made a false 911 call about domestic violence to lure officers there. Police say that he slashed an officer's face with a knife and then stabbed him twice in the back. And that's when police say another officer shot Bangora. Both were taken to the hospital and both are expected to recover.

SPEAKER_09: 1:13:31

So when suicide by cop he's a Muslim man. Oh, okay. So this was this was a this was a trap, right? Brought him in in order to do this. Now, we show a lot of city pictures and a lot of things that you see in the cities, and American urban areas are decaying. You know, like unless you know Trump sent the military in, they're pretty dirty. Bellevue's not that city. No, Bellevue's a lot of money. Seattle and Bellevue are one city separated by Lake Washington with a bridge in between. Okay. Two bridges. Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 1:14:01

Yep.

SPEAKER_09: 1:14:02

Seattle is old town. It's got the urban decay that you would normally see. The Detritus. Bellevue is where Bill Gates lives. Yes. And where Amazon's based.

SPEAKER_16: 1:14:13

And like, you know, that's a beacon on the hill.

SPEAKER_09: 1:14:15

It is a beacon on the hill. It is a very clean city. Posh. It is a very rich city. Yes. It is uh hoity toity to the max. Okay.

SPEAKER_28: 1:14:23

Yep.

SPEAKER_09: 1:14:24

So if you notice here, this is the transit center. Do you see a single piece of trash on the ground?

SPEAKER_16: 1:14:30

Bubblegum. Is there even any spit?

SPEAKER_09: 1:14:33

Is there even none? This is a this is a different city. Okay. So I'm pointing this out that even in areas like Bellevue, which pride themselves on being clean and basically having a, you know, the city council is essentially the the most uh you know biggest HOA you'll ever meet, okay, with a lot of Karens on it, it it doesn't exempt you from Islamic terror and from people who do this kind of stuff. You know, when you send your kids off to college and they get indoctrinated into believing that George Washington was a slave owner and nothing else, and that everything downstream from that has to be bad, you're gonna get kids involved in Black Lotus terror groups and things like that. So, okay, guys, I have an interesting story. We've got some really great news that's happening. I maybe we should like do the good news in the beginning. I don't know.

SPEAKER_17: 1:15:20

Um yeah.

SPEAKER_09: 1:15:22

Well, yeah, maybe we should. So we're gonna jump over into the private now. We're gonna be talking about again, great news. Walmart getting rid of artificial dyes. We're gonna be talking about uh farmers getting these bailout loans early, which a lot like apparently there's a significant statistic of farmers that are not going to be filing chapter 11 this year. This is like a last second bailout that they've been years and years and years, and this was it. Like they hit the end of the line, Trump's first term, and he's able to bail them out. That's a big deal. And uh we're gonna talk a little bit about blue slips and Mark Wayne Mullins has flipped on the filibuster topic. But before we jump into the private, I just want to read you or share with you a really interesting headline that I saw.

SPEAKER_17: 1:16:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_09: 1:16:04

There's an assumption, we're peasants, right? The family value thing, like we've kind of got this culture where, you know, get married, have a handful of kids, raise them, it'll be great. Apparently, in China, that ain't necessarily the case. Chinese billionaires having dozens of U.S. born babies via surrogate. In a closed Los Angeles courtroom, something wasn't right. Clerks working for family court judge Amy Pellman were reviewing routine surrogacy positions when they spotted an unusual pattern, the same name, again and again. A Chinese billionaire was seeking parental rights to at least four unborn children, and the court's additional research showed that he had already fathered or was in the process of fathering at least eight more, all through surrogates. When Pellman called Jubo in for a confidential hearing in the summer of 2023, he never entered the courtroom, according to people who attended the hearing. The maker and of fantasy video games lived in China and appeared via video, speaking through an interpreter. He said he hoped to have 20 or so U.S. born children through surrogacy, boys because they're superior to girls, one day to take over his business. Several of his kids were being raised by nannies in nearby Irving as they awaited paperwork to travel to China. He hadn't yet met them, he told the judge, because he had been too busy with work. Pellman was alarmed, according to the people who attended the hearing, surrogacy was a tool to help people build families, but what Zhu was describing didn't seem like parenting, he said. The judge denied his request for parentage, normally quickly approved for the intended parents of a baby born through surrogacy. Experts say the decision left the children he'd paid for to be born in legal limbo. The court declined to comment on the Shu case. The Zhu Xu, an online mega poster but real-life recluse, has rarely spoken with reporters and hasn't been photographed in public for nearly a decade. Representative Shu's company, blah, blah, blah. Um so it so it goes on to say here, apparently this is a huge trend. Um some Chinese parents, inspired by Elon Musk's 14 known children, pay millions in surrogacy fees to hire women to help U.S. um help them build families of jaw-dropping size. Zhu himself calls himself China's first father, is known in China as a vocal critic of feminism. On social media, his company said he has more than a hundred children born through surrogacy in the U.S. Another wealthy Chinese executive, Wang Hu, hired U.S. models and others as egg donors and have to have 10 girls with the aim of one day marrying them off to powerful men, according to people close to the executive's company. This is MSN, by the way, reporting this. Okay. Other Chinese clients, usually seeking more typical numbers of babies, are high-powered executives lacking time and inclination to bear their own children. The market has grown so sophisticated, as experts say, that at times Chinese Chinese parents have had U.S. born children without stepping foot in the country. A thriving mini industry of American surrogacy agencies, law firms, and clinics, delivering agencies and nanny services, even to pick up newborns from hospitals, has risen to accommodate the demand, permitting parents to ship their genetic material abroad and get a baby delivered back at the cost of$200,000 per child. The growing Asian market for international fertility service has drawn attention of American investors, including Peter Thiel. So family office is hacked via was backed by a chain of IVS clinics across Southeast Asia and recently opened a branch in uh Los Angeles. So it goes on to describe the babies born in the US are citizens by virtue of the 14th Amendment. The 2020 department moved uh, you know, Trump's move into curb that. So it goes on to say, you know, we're not Costco. The founder and CEO of IVF USA, a network of fertility clinics in the US and Mexico, that cater to wealthy Chinese and partner with surrogacy agencies. Uh, babies brought back to China as you uh so basically it helps them fall outside the country's one child policy penal penal system. Sure. And of course, you get this nice American citizen that, you know, based on all the welfare benefits you could get, because dad's not technically in the picture.

SPEAKER_16: 1:19:46

But maybe dad can come visit.

SPEAKER_09: 1:19:48

Yeah, anchor babies. Uh so it goes on to describe here, this is actually a really big deal. There's it's suspected that some of these Chinese oligarchs have thousands of children.

SPEAKER_16: 1:20:00

Thousands of children. What are they doing with them?

SPEAKER_09: 1:20:02

Marrying them off. Girls for future leaders. The Chinese government usually turns a blind eye to citizens who pursue surrogacy abroad. This is talking about Wang.

SPEAKER_16: 1:20:10

I mean, this is almost like it sounds like a rich guy that has a stable full of stallions.

SPEAKER_09: 1:20:16

Yeah, that's exactly what this is. That's exactly what this is. Now I've got this video that I pulled uh with Elon Musk. Let me uh actually it's worth uh it's worth showing. Let me find it real quick. So the article goes on. Basically, that this is like a huge deal. I mean, you've got thousands and thousands of kids that are being born via surrogacy to these foreign uh you know billionaires and and people like that. So let me see if I can quickly find this video of Elon Musk because when we talk about family, Elon's got a big family.

SPEAKER_16: 1:20:50

He does have a big family.

SPEAKER_09: 1:20:53

Yeah, he does have a big family. I've got this video of him sitting with his child and uh he his telling his kid it's time to go to bed, and his kid's like, I'm not going to bed. And he's like, Well, I gotta go to bed. And he's like, You don't go to bed, and he's like, Yeah, I do. It's cute. It's one of the it's a genuine father, right? Father knows father. Like, you know, when you see someone with that kind of in Portuguese, the word was carinho, like that kind of amazogy, that's the other Portuguese word. Sometimes Portuguese words make more sense in my mind, but you know, that that real emotional connection to a kid, even just a little child, and laughing about, you know, well, I don't want to go to bed, Dad. Well, we all have to go to bed, you know. It's so cute. That is absent from some of these surrogate parents. You know what I mean? Oh no, I'm just trying to raise an army. Uh I'm just trying to marry off all my daughters to rich people to have longer influence. Oh, I want a hundred kids to take over my business. You know what I mean? Like, wow. Anyways, big deal. All right, guys, it's time for us to jump over to private, and then we are gonna hear some great news about Maha and um, you know, blue slips and all that kind of stuff. So we'll talk to you guys tomorrow. And of course, you can cheat if you want to hear this and you don't have Rumble a premium, you can go listen to it on one of the audio players. Talk to you again tomorrow. Bye. And we're instantly into the private. Okay, yes. So this is the uh this is a big win for Maha. This has to deal with Walmart. Again, anything Walmart does is going to affect millions and millions and millions of Americans.

SPEAKER_11: 1:22:20

So the nation's biggest retailer embracing the Maha movement, Walmart currently working on making its store brand food free of food dyes and 30 other ingredients. From Bentonville, Arkansas, the headquarters for Walmart, Fox Business is Kelly Saberia is looking at that. What'd you find out, Kelly?

SPEAKER_02: 1:22:40

Hi, Bill. Welcome to Walmart's Culinary Innovation Center. This new building is 23,000 square feet where food scientists, chefs, and people like you and me taste test these foods. Now, this is a massive undertaking as the nation's biggest grocer, and each of these products has its own unique challenges. Take candy, for example. Not only are they taking out the colors of the original product, but they're also working out both the taste and texture, which we know is equally as important. And it's one of their top-selling categories. So let's take the sour worms, for example. They have titanium dioxide in them, and now they'll take that out, which removes that top of neon. New versions use things like spirulina and turmeric for the color. I gotta tell you.

SPEAKER_09: 1:23:24

I gotta tell you. Hold on, hold on, hold on. When I was in prison, and I'm sorry that I didn't get this in the private, because this gentleman I'm talking about actually retweeted the show today on X. I got notified on my phone. So he this is when I was in prison with this person who's now out, clearly a J6er. And uh, anyways, he used to get MMs because it had this titanium whatever, and he was like, you know, there's two things that need titanium, the human body and the F35. It's the same exact thing. But he used to buy the MLMs, MM specifically to supplement with that. So even though they're mentoring it here and it's like hilarious, apparently, you know, there's some need for a micro amount.

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:07

If you can believe it, I think the new version actually tastes better than the original. So I asked, how will Walmart? Walmart, such a big company present in nine out of ten homes, change the way Americans eat. They tell me their decisions are dictated by the consumer, not the other way around.

SPEAKER_21: 1:24:23

Customers are turning over that package, that bag, or looking digitally at those ingredients more than they ever have. More than half of the customers are actually very in tune and looking at those ingredient labels. And they wanted simplicity. They wanted transparency and they wanted things they could pronounce and that they understood.

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:41

The part that I found most fascinating is the idea that they're aiming to keep their costs exactly the same. 70% of their portfolio is priced under$5. And all of this feels especially important as we round out the holidays this month. There are so many things that we need to entertain. And right now, 90% of their fleet of products already has this dive-free promise. Now, what's going to happen with the rest of the products? By January of 2027, Walmart says they will have this promise finished and ready for their consumers.

SPEAKER_16: 1:25:13

Okay. We got a year, right? January. Are we the stupidest people? Are we the stupidest species? Because it's like, we're gonna take the dye out, but you're still coloring it. Well, what are you coloring it with? Well, something else.

SPEAKER_09: 1:25:28

That's that's a conversation for another 40 years from now. Yeah, that's Maha 2.0.

SPEAKER_16: 1:25:34

If it makes something a color, isn't it a dye? No matter what it's made out of. Yeah. Whatever.

SPEAKER_09: 1:25:41

So Donald Trump a while ago made a promise to American farmers that he would be taking some of that tariff money and getting it out to the farmers. And there was a lot of concern that they wouldn't get the money in time. Well, turned out they started getting some checks.

SPEAKER_05: 1:25:51

Hydro did point to some real benefits to this aid package.

SPEAKER_32: 1:25:55

You have your entity structured properly and um, you know, you can maximize the dollars you're getting back out of these payments, then uh you know that's that's income that you can show the bank and you know possibly get get your loan prolonged instead of having to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy and you know, you get to farm another year.

SPEAKER_05: 1:26:15

I mean He also shared that he feels like farmers' voices are finally being heard.

SPEAKER_32: 1:26:19

These payments weren't supposed to come out until October of twenty-six, and so for them to recognize that there is an issue and get some of that money from October moved up to now is that's a a huge plus and a win for us.

SPEAKER_09: 1:26:35

It's it's such a big deal because it staves off for what's reportedly potentially thousands of farmers, it staves off bankruptcies that were slated for this year.

SPEAKER_16: 1:26:45

Probably some foreclosures.

SPEAKER_09: 1:26:46

Yeah. Farmers have not had an easy job in ever. Ever? Ever. It's never been an easy job, but it has barely been profitable for a couple decades now. And a lot of these farms are on last gap. I mean, we've already lost a lot of farms. There's been so much consolidation. It's it's it's actually one of the, you know, history will view it as one of the great tragedies of the American experiment is consolidation of the farmland and control of the food supply. I was listening to a podcast yesterday on Sean Ryan's show about a Russian spy, and she was talking about when she was a kid, she used to go stand in food lines with her mom in the Soviet Union. And, you know, that those were all of her memories. Like all of her memories, her kid were standing in food line for six, seven hours at a time. And you had to go stand in line with your parents because there wasn't any food. And if they didn't have, like, you know, the mother had to bring her two kids and be like, I need three pieces of bread and three pieces of meat, and you know, they wouldn't give it to her just saying kids were around.

SPEAKER_16: 1:27:38

Right. I got six kids at home. Prove it.

SPEAKER_09: 1:27:40

Prove it, exactly. And so that was that was how she was raised, and that led to wanting stability, which eventually was why she kind of gave herself over to the state or was taken by the state, however you want to consider it. But you know, I was hearing that. I was like, man, that's that was what the American experiment was supposed to avoid, right? One of the problems with the Great Depression was farmers had excess production and were dumping it because they weren't profitable. They were like, I'd rather put the milk on the ground than you know, sell it for nothing. And uh, we've got a decreased supply, so the demand goes up, right? That's how productive American farmland is and American farmers are. That we actually have the opposite problem. We have an overabundance of food as opposed to their. Now, they could have had an overabundance of food, but their policies weren't shit. So, anyways, that's a really big deal. I'm glad to see it. I hope it's not on the margins. I hope it's really impactful, and I really hope that we turn the tide on, you know, the degradation of the American farmer 100%. Trump was asked about blue slips because he's having a hard time getting his attorneys and his judges um put in, which by the way, apparently the Republicans in the Senate are really, you know, putting a bee, you know, a pin on their chest, and they're like, we've confirmed more judges in the last 10 months for Trump than we did the entire first Trump term, which was record breaking. Right. And then of course Biden broke the record because he put even more judges in, right? But now they've got a lot of, I don't know where these judges are going. I'm like, how many judges are retiring? I mean, I don't know. I thought aren't like seats filled. You know what I mean? Anyways, they're throwing a lot of judges out there, and that's good. The problem is, is all these judges, record-breaking amount of judges wrong, all going to red states. Not going to states like ours, not going to blue states. Why? Yeah.

SPEAKER_30: 1:29:22

Blue slips, Mr. President. Leader Boon doesn't seem like he wants to get rid of blue slips. Will there be consequences for the Senate?

SPEAKER_27: 1:29:29

Well, I think they should get rid of blue slips because uh as a Republican president, I am unable to put anybody in office having to do with U.S. attorneys or having to do with judges. In other words, if you have one, not two, you don't need two, just one. If you have one Democrat uh senator, well, we have a lot of them. You have one Democrat senator in a state, it is not possible to appoint because of blue slips. A judge, it's not possible to appoint a U.S. attorney. You see that happening. And I think it's a disgrace. I think blue slips are a disgrace. They've long since uh I mean, they're not, they should not be relevant anymore. Well, this is a different world than it was 15, 20 years ago. You know, that was a gentleman and gentlewoman world. This is a little bit different, unfortunately.

SPEAKER_09: 1:30:21

That's the point. All you met Romney fans, that's a different world. Okay, it's a different world. This is a zero-sum game. There will be a winner or a loser, and the loser will probably go to jail. So this is Mark Wayne Mullen, again, one of these senators who kind of saved the day. He is one of the early senators that understood the Venezuelan role and the election fraud and the demand machines. He made sure the right people got involved and got, you know, confirmed to Trump all this stuff. So this is one of those senators that I don't really care that he invested in an irrigation company with uh smart meters. Okay, even though Trump posted that on his true social, I don't care as much about that, uh, although I don't like smart meters, but because he's kind of starting to get it. And when it comes to this filibuster issue and the blue slip issue, I think he's coming along.

SPEAKER_22: 1:31:07

Nuke the filibuster in the Senate. The argument being that if Democrats ever win back, they're gonna do it anyway. So um, if Democrats win the House, they they end the Trump agenda, essentially, for the final two years of his presidency. So get everything you can done get done, if you're not worried about politics, in the next nine months, nuke the filibuster and act the agenda.

SPEAKER_03: 1:31:28

Well, the president has said that. He's talking about all the time to nuke the filibuster. Problem is we're still playing politics. It's an argument to be made. I I I kind of leaned on the side of for a little bit of going, well, Will, should we really nuke the filibuster? Because once you do that, it is nuclear. It goes nuclear, it opens the door wide open. And I was like, why would we open the door wide open for the for the Democrats? But I was in a meeting with you know with leadership just recently, uh in fact last week, and I brought this point up, guys. Does anybody in this room believe that the Democrats aren't going to nuke the filibuster? And if and if they do, what they're going to do is they're going to go after all the courts. They're going to try to pack in the courts, not with 13, not with 11, but now they're saying 23. And you're going, okay, if they if we know they're going to pack the court, if we know we think they're going to make Washington, D.C. a state, Puerto Rico a state, maybe Guam a state, and that why wouldn't we just go ahead and do it anyways? Because we're not interested in the politics of it. We're interested in the policy of it. Why wouldn't we install good policy? The argument was then, well, but they will undo everything we did. To which I said back to them is like, okay. I love that.

SPEAKER_09: 1:32:29

We're not interested in the politics of it, but we're interested in the policy of it. They're wanting to use don't do the policy it's bad. Don't do it, you know, what it don't do it, don't do it. It'll be bad politics. Don't get rid of the blue slips, it's bad politics. Yeah, but what about policy? The judges they put in place with that whole blue slip thing, garbage. Garbage. Garbage human beings. I'm I'm literally, there are some judges that are garbage, right? You can go look at lots of open source research about it. It's like, ha ha ha, I don't even know how these guys maintain a law license. And they're federal judges? I know it sounds stunning, and I'm trying not to cast stones or allegations on anyone specific, but you know, go do some of the research on these people that got confirmed in the last four years. Okay. So that's what they're gonna do, even more and more and more. Remember, the Senate was held by the Republicans, which kind of held Biden at bay. Had they not had a Republican Senate, they would have packed the court, you know, it would have gotten worse.

SPEAKER_03: 1:33:24

How do we know they'll undo everything we did? Because if it's sound policy and they do undo everything we did, and it put us in havoc, then maybe it'll backfire on them. Because if we believe they're going to do it, then why don't we just go ahead and get it done and do what the president's wanting us to do to put all this policy forward? And so there was a conversation that's taking place that's saying, well, maybe we don't do all the filibusters, but we just do it when it comes to appropriations. Well, that's where the policy is made to appropriations, anyways. I think that's a sound policy for us to have a serious conversation about because we only have three years here. And the president is laser focused on setting a foundation for the golden age to be rushing in and set it up for whoever the next vice or the next president's gonna be. Is it gonna be JD? Who's who knows? I'd say right now, JD's probably the front runner, but if you set the foundation, a solid foundation for somebody to build on, because you don't have to worry about a mid uh a re-election, which is the advantage that the president has, then let's go all in. And I'm in that favor where you're at right now is let's go all in. Let's get this thing done because we're not gonna get immigration policy done um with bipartisan support. It's not gonna happen because the Democrats are never gonna give us a win on this. Um, you're not going you were not going to have good sound policy when it comes to reforming the Unaffordable Healthcare Act uh with the with re with the Democrats. They're not they're not interested. I mean, we see what they've done. They they want to do a clean three-year extension on a failed policy that has a 90 90% um uh fraud rate on it. That's that's horrible. 10% is horrible. This is 90% fraud rate on it, and yet they want to do a three-year clean extension on the premium tax. And so we know they're not interested in it, so we need to do it by ourselves. And so I my position on the filibuster has changed.

SPEAKER_09: 1:35:12

Oh, but I hope they get rid of it. I was early on, don't get rid of the filibuster. It's how we stop the Democrats. And now I'm like, actually, they're gonna do it if they ever get power, and we probably won't be able to fully fix the election system.

SPEAKER_16: 1:35:26

And it'll be over. It'll be over.

SPEAKER_09: 1:35:28

It'll be over, exactly. So, all right, guys, that's it for us today. Thank you for sticking around. We'll pray the Rosary Daily said learn civics and attend trade school. Absolutely. That is a good life plan. All right, guys, we'll talk to you again tomorrow. Bye.

SPEAKER_26: 1:36:03

Matt, sorry, what do I clip in that card for now? I'm 37. What? I'm 37, I'm not old, but I can't just call you Matt. You could say this.
