How FISA, Data Brokers, And CBDCs Connect

They tried to ram through a five-year FISA renewal at 2 a.m., and it lit up a bigger question we can’t ignore: how did warrantless surveillance become “normal”? We walk through what lawmakers like Lauren Boebert and Thomas Massie say the fight is really about warrants, the Fourth Amendment, and the quiet reality that the government can buy your data from private companies even when it can’t justify a warrant.

From there we connect dots most shows keep separate: insider trading in Congress, local-government fraud, and even small-town scandals that reveal what happens when power meets weak oversight. We react to Anna Paulina Luna’s comments on how easy it is to profit off committee access, then tie it back to incentives: when leaders enrich themselves, they stop policing corruption and start using institutions against “adversaries.”

We also dig into health and bureaucracy, including RFK Jr’s remarks on Medicaid waiver fraud and why systems that can’t be verified at scale get gamed. Then we bring it home with the real centerpiece: CBDCs and financial censorship. If a central bank digital currency can track and restrict spending, and FISA can expand surveillance, that pairing should worry anyone who cares about freedom.

Our answer to the “what now?” question is practical: build locally, stay off the political extremes, and understand why Bitcoin adoption and financial sovereignty keep accelerating. If this hit a nerve, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review. What’s the one reform you’d demand first?

SPEAKER_07 0:23

We're getting screwed, ma'am. Every time we turn around, we're getting screwed. Well, the revolution's gonna be true podcasting for sure. It's the only way we can. It's the little guys, the little guys that take the blood of everything. It's gotta stop. Peasants, man. We're just peasants. Every one of us. You watch those old movies, you see the peasants in the background with the kings and kings walking around. We're those people. We're those people. Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. We're so glad you made it with us this morning. We've got a good one today. Life is good. It's Friday. T G I F, what about you? Huh? Tiffany and Carlito, or Carlito and Tiffany. Good morning from Texas. Glad you made it. Pony Boy, good morning. It is a wonderful day today. Sun's up. It's definitely starting to be summertime. I'm probably gonna get flushed out on the lighting in here in a little bit as the sun continues to rise. Yeah. We notice I look really good right at the start of the show because it's like dark and all the lights work, but then by the end of the show, the lights kind of flush us out.

SPEAKER_11 1:36

It's washed out.

SPEAKER_07 1:37

The room's already naturally lit. Anyways, this is an early morning show. Are there any other podcasts that stream this early? I have no idea. Not off the West Coast. Definitely not off the West Coast. It's it's pretty amazing. All right.

SPEAKER_11 1:49

I know why you guys are right after uh George Norrie goes to bed. Who? George Norrie.

SPEAKER_07 1:55

Who's that?

SPEAKER_11 1:56

Coast to Coast.

Simultaneous Sip And Raw Milk

SPEAKER_07 1:57

Oh, Coast to Coast. Okay, yeah, that's right. You know, I was on the Quite Frankly podcast, so it's been a couple months now. And he was a big fan of Coast to Coast Radio. He was like the inspiration for uh the Quite Frankly show. It's kind of fun. Carlitz, good morning, y'all. Glad you made it. All right, guys. I know why you showed up bright and early. It's because you're here for the simultaneous sip. And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard, a chalice of stein, a canteen jogger flask, or just a soda can of any kind. And fill it with your favorite liquid. This morning we've got Diet Coke. Ron, what do you got over there? Diet Coke or Dr. Pepper, full on sugar. There you go. And fill it with your favorite beverage and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's the simultaneous sip, but definitely got to avoid whole milk.

SPEAKER_00 2:44

If I were the head of HHS, I would by God say, don't take raw milk. It is dangerous to your health. And if you can't say that, well, maybe there's some other conclusions that can be drawn. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

SPEAKER_30 2:57

Miss Ledlow.

SPEAKER_07 3:00

Ron asked who that was. That's Democrat Rosa Delaro. That's who she is. She was in a committee meeting with uh in a committee meeting with uh Robert Kennedy Jr. yesterday. Quite hilarious. It's interesting the divergence that we've got on people's opinions on health. We're gonna cover a little bit later today the shocking increase in cancer rates. And Katie Kirk just cannot figure out what is going on. It was a sudden spike a couple years ago in terminal cancers.

SPEAKER_11 3:28

It's like, yeah, I know. No. Katie Kirk, that reminds me. She was one of the first ones who was like, what is the Google?

Midnight Push To Renew FISA

SPEAKER_07 3:37

Yeah, what is the Google? What's this coin of bits? Right. I had a guy that uh way back when, see, this would have been like 2008, 2009, probably somewhere around that range. There was this guy that was working up in Montana and he was doing the real estate school with me. And we were talking about how to, you know, attract people and market and stuff like that. And on the all we we'd have these leadership calls, and people would start talking about Facebook and how you could, you know, put posts on Facebook and generate interest there. And he gets on, he's like, what's this book of faces you guys are talking about? It's pretty funny. Manaizo, good morning from dad and I from Florida. Florida Phil. Florida Phil. I don't know if Phil is, but blah blah. Good morning from Florida. Tell uh Uncle Bob and Aunt Karen I said hi. And I don't know, are you gonna swing up and see my daughter while you're there? My daughter lives in Florida. She's a school teacher down there. Okay, I know people don't think I'm that old, but it's amazing how quickly life goes by. So last night, unbeknownst to me, you know, I you'd think I would have caught something like this. I mean, I'm only in the news cycle every single day, but apparently the FISA bill was up for renewal last night. And guess what time they wanted to do it?

SPEAKER_11 4:52

Uh midnight.

SPEAKER_07 4:54

2 a.m. 2 a.m. They wanted to shove through the FISA renewal bill. Fortunately, I got blocked, so we're gonna hear a little bit about that. It's kind of interesting. Here's Nick Sortor, who was there on Capitol Hill. He's meeting with Lauren Bulbert about the FISA bill.

SPEAKER_14 5:06

All right, so we are here at the U.S. Capitol. Let me just uh bend down a little bit here. You're a little bit shorter than I remembered, but uh we're here at the U.S. Capitol right now, 1:30 in the morning, and they are trying to ram through this deep state surveillance film. Uh, where again they want to extend FISA by how many years? Five. Five years. The same thing they use to spy on President Trump's campaign.

SPEAKER_07 5:32

Okay, so let's understand Trump's position on FISA. He wants no renewal, right? He wants no renewal of FISA, gotta have a warrant to spy on Americans. But he is also posted after consulting with all the generals of the military intelligence, and that they absolutely need it. And the reason they need it is because they need to be able to spy on terrorists and domestic terrorists. Okay. So he proposed an 18-month renewal. What that means is it's up again in his term, which gives him time to oversee the military while they go out and clean out all the Iranians that are here locally with, you know, whatever it is, and then hopefully renew it without the American provisions to be able to spy on us. Now, certain members of Congress are like, uh-uh, that dog ain't gonna hunt. We don't want warrants at all. But the majority of Congress is like, yeah, let's do it. Why not? Trying to extend by so by putting it by five years, kicks the can to the next presidency, which means it's not gonna be Donald Trump that's gonna be resisting it.

SPEAKER_14 6:30

Five years clean extension. And uh you're not gonna accept that, are you?

SPEAKER_25 6:34

I'm not going to accept this. And there are enough members that uh the rule will fail. This procedural vote that allows that five-year extension to actually come to the floor. We're killing that tonight. Uh, we've talked to the speaker, we could give him a 30-day pass and say, you know, we can extend what's already uh law currently for 30 days until we get this right. We want warrants before you spy on American citizens. We're not doing warrantless spying, we're not going after presidents anymore, we're not doing any more Arctic Frost. Uh, you know, there's talk of uh me and other members um who uh have been spied on by the FBI uh and uh record subpoenaed, and no one's even heard about that yet. Uh, but you will. And uh, you know, in all of this, we want those warrants, and even more so, we were promised that on must-pass uh must-pass legislation just like this one, we would get anti-CBDC language. This is extremely important because we do not want a central digital bank currency system, and that needs to be attached to FISA. And in addition, we know that the federal government buys your data from private companies. The Fourth Amendment is not for sale. We are here to defend the constitution, uh, even at 1:30 in the morning. And um, I'm not letting even my own party jam this uh crew tonight and extend FISA for five years with no warrants.

SPEAKER_07 7:58

Wow, she touched on a lot of topics and they all tie together. So not only do you have the Pfizer spying, okay, that's one thing, Fourth Amendment, then you have Google or the government buying your metadata from the big providers. Now at 1776 Live, we're affiliated with Mark 37, where you can buy ghost phones and ghost laptops that run on a Linux-based operating system that completely eliminates the Google tracking, Facebook tracking, Apple tracking, Amazon tracking, Apple, all that takes it off. So now you don't have so now you don't have commercial data available to be bought. So you have to be the change on that one. But I I understand the vast majority of Americans are still running around with an iPhone, including myself from time to time. But making changes. So we need some of those tips. We need some of those tips so we can go de-googled on the podcast here. Okay, and then it also ties into the central bank digital digital currency. So the FISA bill allows people to spy on you. The CBDC will allow them to censor you, to de-bank you, to deplatform you. It also allows them through FISA to track what you're spending. Do you see the connections there? It's all it's all tied together. So we have to resist CBDCs, which in my opinion means you've got to move off the dollar, which is why I've advocated for a long time silver, and now I've become much more of an advocate for Bitcoin because it puts you more control. I feel like I'm super hot on this mic. Am I? Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 9:28

We all are.

SPEAKER_07 9:29

Back up. Let's go on. Give me feedback on the audio listeners if the audio is different than it is normally. Ron did make some changes to hopefully fix some of the the uh the videos, but I feel like I'm really hot.

SPEAKER_11 9:41

I turned it down a little bit. Okay, great.

SPEAKER_07 9:44

Okay, so that's great. Now, they Lauren Bober as well as Tim Burkhart and Thomas Massey ended up out on the Capitol steps. And this is kind of fun. So we're gonna listen to this. This is Tim Burkhart after they ended the procedural rule to allow it to go to the floor. They gave him a 30-day window, so they're gonna figure it out, I guess, between now and then. Hey everybody, Tim Burch at Blake Knife.

SPEAKER_08 10:04

Um the uh rule five uh, which is the uh sacred coin. Um trying to negotiate a uh six week which has a little area uh comes out with a three-year mail. So um anyway. Didn't go. So as I say voted down the rule. There's little Larn Robert. Hey Larn. And then um it's anyway, it's like hey guys. Hey man, you know they film all that stamp in a Hollywood studio.

SPEAKER_06 11:01

We really Oh, did you hear that, Carlino? Did you hear that? Carlino, are you listening? Listen again.

SPEAKER_08 11:09

Hey man, you know they film all that stamp in a Hollywood studio. We really figuring it out. Thank you.

SPEAKER_07 11:21

You know, it's those little things like that to just make me absolutely convinced that they did film the moon landing in a Hollywood theater. Hey, just so you know, FYI. So the other side of that conversation was little Lauren Bulbert and Thomas Massey with it was being interviewed by Nick Sortier. And again, this is important. These are little tidbits that we learn from these clips, right? These are this is source material right here. This isn't reporting, this is source material. We didn't go to the moon, it was filmed in a Hollywood theater. So that's one thing we learned. Okay, the next thing, here we go.

SPEAKER_14 11:50

All right, so you guys have uh successfully blocked the five-year extension for Pfizer tonight. You consider this a win, it's a 30-day uh or a uh when is it? Two weeks. Two weeks. Okay, even better. All right, and why is it important not to extend FISA? I mean, like, keep in mind this is what they use to spy on President Trump's campaign. Uh it's a warrantless spying program. Uh why do you think that they are continuing to try to force this through?

SPEAKER_07 12:18

Okay, uh everybody pay attention here because Thomas Massey's gonna get cut off on this, but you you we know what he's saying. This is important. Now, I've got my own ire with Thomas Massey, but at the same time, I'm extremely appreciative of a lot of the work he's done. But he's he's a bad team player, but he's a he in his mind he's principled, or whatever. Okay, Thomas Massey. This is important. The FISA warrant, the spying, the buying your commercial data, this all ties together here. It eventually goes to CBDCs. It's deep state.

SPEAKER_10 12:51

It's deep state. Everybody does.

SPEAKER_25 12:55

You know, they try to bring us in all these classified briefings, and you know, tell us how dangerous it is to have warrants to spy on American citizens. The briefing that we're never going to get is hi, our agency has been given too much power by Congress. We need you to take some of it back.

SPEAKER_15 13:10

And uh today I went and skiffed and saw two top secret documents that show this program is getting worse, not better.

SPEAKER_14 13:17

Okay, so how does this? I just want to relate this a little bit to like the average American. How could this affect somebody like you know, your average Kentucky, uh the place that you represent? How could FISA being passed again for five years?

SPEAKER_15 13:32

If you get on the government's uh shit list, bad list, naughty list, regardless of who is in the White House, right? They could put your name in this, find things about you, and then go recreate another evidence trail to discover that. Because they're never going to say they use Pfizer to find this stuff out about it, too. And then they go, you get a random stop. Traffic stop. Okay.

Warrants, Data Buying, CBDC Threat

SPEAKER_07 13:58

So now that's the end of his little statement. And I wish he would have gone there. But they use PISA to find everything about you your browser history, your banking history, your transactions, your geolocation, so they know that you and I are meeting every morning. They know the other people that you're meeting with, all that kind of stuff. So they create a case and then they go create an additional paper trail, right? This is what happened with Donald Trump. They created it, they spied on him, they made a couple connections as far as Russia, and then they went and leaked it to the press. Then they took those press releases and got a legitimate warrant to spy. Does that make sense? So they manufactured, they created the connections and they had to lie to do it because Trump was clean. So they said Carter Page was not a CIA asset, and he was a CIA asset, thereby justifying his interaction with the Russians, right? But they then laundered that information into the news media, Yahoo News and others, Huffington Post, and then took those news articles, put them in a warrant application, and then got a warrant. Okay. So they get your data, they buy your data, they don't even have to have a warrant to do that, they can just buy it. I already revealed that the city, right here, locally in our county, one of the cities, buys all the metadata of everybody who comes in and out of the of the city. So if you live there, they just have all your metadata. You're in the zigzag. If you drive through the city, they get your metadata. And why would they do that? Well, for them, they're gonna, you know, they're gonna do some advertising for Polzbo. Come visit Polzbow, welcome on Pulsbo. They're gonna use it to um, you know, let you know when when the Viking Fest is going on, you know, our big parade. They're gonna use it for marketing to promote the city, that kind of thing. But they could use it for any reason they wanted to do it. Okay, it's that easy. They just buy the data and they get everything. So they're doing all of that. And then, of course, as she said before, this ties into the CBDCs. You think it's bad that they can target you, wait until they can look at your financial transactions as clear clearly like that. So that he gets cut off and he says, then randomly you get a traffic stop. So there you are minding your own business, you're on the government's hit list, and then one day you find yourself on the side of the road, and they're like, Your taillight's busted or something. And you know what I mean? And then next thing you know, I'm just gonna gaslight you. And then next thing you know, it's the cop that grabs your cell phone and blah blah blah, and it's on you go, you're done. Yeah, right. They create it, and we've seen this play out over and over and over again. But a lot of us are just like, Well, uh, you know, I mean, he was he did something bad, or did he? Did he? Or is it manufactured? Uh Marty Easel says, Good morning from Dad Knight from Florida, Douglas Wyatt, good morning, Marty Easel. We sure are going to see our granddaughter, that's my daughter, and take her to Tarpin Spings while she's still Greek. She's getting married this summer, so she's using this awesome last name we have. Pony Boy, so essentially they use breadcrumbs to make a loaf of bread out of it. That is exactly what they're doing. Okay, so now Thomas Massey gets distracted because Tim Burkhart's there on the steps with him. We just watched that video. Oh, it's Birchett. Burchin's getting home for 5 p.m.

SPEAKER_08 17:06

Hey! Hey, man, you don't need to be able to do it. What do you think of Pfizer?

SPEAKER_14 17:14

Burchin's got his video going.

SPEAKER_08 17:18

What do you think of aliens? What's your uh actually both of them? I believe in illegal and the can for matter spy.

SPEAKER_14 17:28

Okay, how about Pfizer? Are they spying on aliens with Pfizer? You don't believe in Pfizer?

SPEAKER_08 17:36

Don't come down here because there is no intelligent line. Anyway, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_14 17:45

So we use the old uh the very few, there are 535 of you guys, but very few good ones.

How FISA Gets Weaponized

SPEAKER_07 17:52

Yeah, all right. So I filmed that thing in a government studio. The aliens don't come hell down here because there is no intelligent life. So that's that's really interesting. I can't believe that happened last night. I did not realize it was up. I know it's been debating. I didn't realize they were having a critical vote. Congress is open at 1:30 a.m. for votes like that. I I mean, it you know, I guess it's one of those things where we could monitor Congress's schedule and just know for a fact anything after 10 p.m. is no good. I mean, my mom used to always say, like, that you know, the Holy Ghost goes to bed at midnight. It's kind of the same thing, right? Carlitz, there's a Hollywood studio comment again. What a great cue movie. I know. Oh my gosh. Okay. So another thing was Anna Polina Luna was on with Kathryn Katherine Heritage, her Heridge, and she talked about insider trading. And I want to, I want to make this point. When you are compromised, it's very difficult to stand against other people who are committing similar crimes. If you yourself are profiting financially from your political position, how are you gonna hold others accountable who are profiting from their financial political position? You know, even if you and your profiting is legal technically, you know it's morally wrong. Does that make sense? So, on the topic of insider trading, this is what Anna Polina Luna says.

SPEAKER_21 19:12

We're talking right now about allegations of sexual misconduct. Can we take it a step further? Is there evidence that insider trading is common?

SPEAKER_20 19:20

Oh insider trading of Okay. Insider trading is so bad on the health that on average, it doesn't matter, Democrat, if they are engaging in stock trades, they're making over 600%, they are outperforming the SP period.

SPEAKER_21 19:38

Have you first hand seen evidence that suggests that members are involved in insider training?

SPEAKER_20 19:44

Well, I don't watch them do the trades themselves, but when you have access to, for example, we know when government contracts or there's going to be, for example, massive authorizations for defense bill, right? Or certain countries going to be getting munitions, whatever it might be. And then you see the people on committees of jurisdiction, whether it's defense appropriations, whether it's house armed services, whether it's, you know, energy and commerce making these stock trades. And then all of a sudden you see that they're getting big contracts through the committee of jurisdiction where the legislation comes through. I mean, it doesn't take a rocket size, it is. Or you have the example of, you know, you have a member of Congress and they say, of course, we support, you know, a ban on members of Congress for trading stocks, but then their spouse or their child is all of a sudden a very, very amazing Wolf of Wall Street stock trader. I mean, that's a huge problem. When I actually brought forward this issue, I was sitting on the steps of Capitol Hill with Tim Burchett. And I said, if we don't do something about this now, it's never going to happen. It's a midterm, it's a slim majority, we actually might be able to get the legislation passed. And they told us that we were going to be responsible for losing the midterms, that we were intentionally forcing our colleagues to take bad votes. So you just we got pressure. I was gonna say you got pressured. Yeah, we were we were pressured not to go down this insider trading route. Just like we got pressured on a number of other things when you're going after the institutional corruption and insider trading, just to put in perspective, we have meetings with CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. We have access to all the spending that's going to happen, which companies are gonna be privately benefiting from it, committees of jurisdiction, everything. These people are coming in, they're making$175,000 a year and they're leaving sometimes worth millions. Yeah, worth$10,$20 million. When we try to reform the bill, initially they didn't want the disgorgement of profits, and I said, I'm not voting for that. Um, that vote is going to come up, but then you're seeing the Senate trying to block it. So we'll see what happens, but we've been pushing it.

Congress Insider Trading Reality

SPEAKER_07 21:39

So this idea that you sit on some committee and you get some information, it's completely legal right now for them to either trade or have someone close to them make trades. Trump posted a video about this, right? You talk about Nancy Pelosi and her trades, and there's others that are even better. And it even included Mark Wayne Mullins, who invested in stock for a digital world. Water meter company, and he sits on some ag thing that was going to pass a bill to encourage digital water meters. And his stock value went like that. I'm actually invested in some stock that Eric Swalwell was working with. It's the only stock I own. And I was like, should I get out of this just because Eric Swalwell's in on it? Uh there's a link on their part watch party. Yeah, I don't uh Jack Michelle32. Thank you for the post. I don't well, we're probably we don't usually click on links in the live show. Nope. Okay, so you've got that problem there. Imagine with FISA, all the contractors involved, the commercial data, Apple, Google, who make money selling this data to anybody, including the U.S. government, and how they could be encouraging, you know, hey, if you do this FISAWIN rule, that increases our stock value. If you don't renew it, the stock value is going to drop. Maybe we need to change the incentives. Maybe we need to get these guys to short all the meta, you know, big data company stock, whoever's doing the surveilling. I fear that Trump is in a position where it's like we have a we have a setup now where this has become institutionalized and his generals are like, well, we can't even imagine life without it. Well, how hard would it be? I mean, what if you just had to get a warrant for American citizens? Is it that hard? Is it really that difficult to get a warrant?

SPEAKER_11 23:18

I mean, I think the idea is that is that the warrant process could be a tip-off mechanism for people. I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 23:26

Usually people are blindsided by a warrant. I mean, that's been my experience. I know.

SPEAKER_11 23:31

I'm just trying to come up with ideas.

Small-Town Embezzlement Lesson

SPEAKER_07 23:33

I don't know. All right. So there's a guy, and here's the thing this extends even down to the very local levels. It's not just insider trading, but if you as a government official are doing insider trading and it's technically legal, it's morally wrong. And then we turn around and it becomes hard to hold others accountable. There's this unbelievable deal out of Dixon Hill, Illinois, where Rita Crundwell in um made she made$80,000 a year as a comptroller, and somehow she was one of the world's leading breeder in horses and horse raiding. And we just found out she just is arrested and went to trial. I think this is really recent. This is an incredible story. Listen to this.

SPEAKER_22 24:14

She admitted to stealing money from her hometown, yet Rita Crundwell didn't utter a word, not even an apology.

unknown 24:22

Excuse me.

SPEAKER_22 24:23

As she left court today, the first time as a federal criminal. Any idea why she wouldn't talk to us today and just apologize to the people of Dixon?

SPEAKER_03 24:30

I can't answer any questions.

SPEAKER_22 24:32

But the question of where that$53 million went was all around the$59.

SPEAKER_07 24:37

She was an$80,000 a year employee and she okay. So what she did.$53 million.$53 million. So the scheme was almost boring in its simplicity. In December 1990, she opened a single bank account at Fit at Fifth Third Bank named RSCDA Reserve Fund and listed herself as the only authorized signer. She forged 159 fake invoices from the Illinois Department of Transportation and had the city cut checks payable to treasurer and deposit them into the secret account. The bank saw one city account moving money to another city account. The city's own books never recorded the deposit. Okay. And what that was, it was a sewer fund. It was a sewer fund. So it didn't tick, tip, tick, tip anybody off. Let's finish this report here.

SPEAKER_11 25:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_22 25:32

The best of the best, all paid for with taxpayer dollars. Taxpayers angry enough to show up and hear Crundwell say the word guilty.

SPEAKER_28 25:40

I've um known her all my life, and I worked with her face to face, and she lied and cheated to us, and and I feel betrayed. It's caused a lot of turmoil, a lot of hard feelings, a lot of reacusations.

SPEAKER_17 25:55

I would really myself like to see some sign of remorse. I haven't seen it at all. It should serve as a warning and hopefully a lesson.

SPEAKER_22 26:03

Acting U.S. Attorney Gary Shapiro, alongside the FBI and United States Marshals, say Crundwell's master plan should have been caught sooner, and despite her seemingly honest image, even the generous hometown girl can tell a lie.

SPEAKER_17 26:16

Public officials who manage their citizens' money need to trust if they must, but they need to verify.

SPEAKER_07 26:29

Okay, so let me let me read it. I thought the news article went in deeper. So she put the money in her own books. The math is brutal. Dixon ran$8 to$9 million annual budget in her final six years. Rita was stealing 28% of the entire city budget. In 2008 alone, she pulled out$5.8 million from a town that couldn't keep its fire staff trucks staffed. Oh my gosh. Dixon paid for every dollar. The city cut firefighter positions, deferred road repairs, and raised property taxes while Rita sat in budget meetings and blamed the state of Illinois for slow payments. Every pothole, every laid-off city worker was subsidizing a quarter horse ranch in Wisconsin. The audit structure was a the real failure. Clifton Gunderson audited Dixon books every year for two decades and signed off on every statement. They were also Rita's personal accountant. The same firm was supposed to verify her professional numbers while filling her private ones. Filing her private ones. After she was caught, Dixon sued them and collected$35.15 million. Third fifth third bank paid another$3.85 million. The auditor and the bank roughly 75% of every restitution dollar the city ever recovered. She was caught because she took 16 weeks of vacation in 2011 to run her horse show circuit. City clerk Kathy Swanson pulled the bank statements to prepare a treasurer's report and found an account she had never heard of with 179 unexplained deposits. The FBI arrived within days. She got 19 years and seven months, and she was released. Oh, this is old. She was released in early 2021 after serving eight. Dixon auctioned her 400 horses, her farms, her trailers, and her motor coach, and recovered about$9 billion from her personal estate. The largest municipal embezzlement in American history ran through one account with one signer. Every small town government in America has the same setup. When I worked in the city of Rexburg when I interned in there, I I can't, I didn't look at any books or anything, but I remember thinking these guys have a lot of power. Like they they know a lot of what's going behind the scenes and they know all the little mechanisms and file this, don't file that, you know, scan this in, put this in the archive file so it doesn't show up on digital records, that kind of stuff. It's really interesting. And at the time I had no idea what I was looking at. I'm just there to observe the the, you know, I'm there for like a semester just to watch government. You know what I mean? But it and I also I also interned in the Idaho State Capitol building. I never mentioned this stuff. Like I've kind of a bit behind the scenes. So when I say this stuff, it's like these are just real people, folks.

SPEAKER_11 29:02

Like, oh, you've never mentioned this to me. And what's really weird is I also interned in southeastern Idaho for a magistrate court judge.

Texas Police Sex Ring Scandal

SPEAKER_07 29:12

Did you? Did you know that? Yeah, they're real people. Yeah, they're just normal people. So, you know, human flaws extend into the robe, they extend behind the counter at your local government. Imagine going in here. This is like the you know, little government worker, and you're submitting your little permit application. She's like, Thank you, that'll be a thousand dollars, and 28% is going into her personal bank account. It's stunning. Now, when government leaders have moral failures, they're less likely to hold others accountable inside government because it kind of starts a tip-off. But I believe they're more likely to turn around and bring down the hammer on normal citizens. It's that it's that act of projection. Takes one to know one, is what I'm saying. So this has been going on down in Texas. Mother of three accused of running a prostitution ring out of her home in Godley, Texas, catering to police officers. Ashley and Michael Kirchestel are accused of hosting godly police department members and their spouses at their home. Ashley is accused of not only coaching women how to sell themselves, but also being a prostitute herself, allegedly charging$1,000 an hour. Former Godley police officer Solomon Omatoya and former Godley Police Chief Chief Matthew Cantrell are facing charges in connection with the ring. The Godley Police Department under Chief Matthew Cantrell conspired with Kirkkuchies to compile information on local public officials and private citizens they perceived as adversaries. Oh, but we want the government to have FISA. Look at how dirtbaggy these guys are. Why can't they spy on Swalwell? Right? These guys are over here doing prostitution. What they're doing is they're creating a list of private citizens they consider as adversaries. They're colluding in these sex parties. The officials known so far include members of the Godley City Council, Godley Independent School Board, and former mayor of Godley, and former chief of police of the city of Godley. Ashley was ousted from the Godly ISD committee back in 2023 that directed the district's sex ed curriculum when her prior prostitution convictions were discovered. Wow. Ashley was charged with racketeering. She's bailed on a$200,000 bond. Her husband Michael was charged with continuous promotion of solicitation of prostitution and racketeering is beheld on the$450,000 bond. Now, in the beginning here, this is this is the woman. These are some of the her husband and one of the other officers. And she's like totally open and admitted it.

SPEAKER_24 31:30

You know, ever since the news, every time somebody comes up to me and they ask me, is it true? Is it true? I'm just like girl. God didn't make me this good looking for nothing.

SPEAKER_07 31:44

Uh so you know, she's just a crazy wacko. This is her on the news.

SPEAKER_24 31:57

Two consenting adults should be allowed to do what whatever it is that they want to do.

SPEAKER_31 32:09

She has not been arrested or charged in the current investigation, though the court documents do identify her as a co-defendant. She also wants to point out she's not a victim.

RFK Jr On Medicaid Fraud

SPEAKER_07 32:19

I was yeah, so you didn't end up getting arrested, her and her husband. Um, yeah, so embezzlement in a small town, prostitution ring in a small town with the chief of police, and they're conspiring to spy on you. What's going on in DC? You know, oh yeah, we've got all kinds of stuff going on, but we need to renew this FISA bill. Holy, man. It's wild what's going on there. Now, RFK had a hearing yesterday. That's where we got the don't drink whole milk, it's bad for you. Which by the way, it's not, it's really good for you. Okay, that that whole thing is like big ag 101. Like, hey, we don't want you buying milk from the Amish, we want you building buying it from us. The whole anti-hole milk thing, in fact, our top-performing episode on audio is about it's like the one that has milk in the title. So apparently, this is a hot topic. The anti-hole milk thing is because the USDA and FDA want to regulate business, so they want to regulate milk. So by requiring homogenization, pasteurization for whatever reasons they do it, it creates a regulation scheme. People who sell whole milk, it's right out of the cow, into the jug, into your fridge, right? There's no regulation there. It's kind of like what I was telling you yesterday. If you have a barbecue here at your house and you invite friends over for the barbecue, and they come to have the barbecue and they pitch in to pay for the food, and maybe a little extra, because hey, Ron, that was good barbecue. Yeah, that's completely legitimate. It's just a backyard barbecue. People do this all the time. You have a block party, people pitch in 40 bucks, go buy all the meat, barbecues, have fun. If you put a sign out, say open for business, and you have your friends over and they pay you, all of a sudden you're regulated. You need a business license, you need a food handler's permit, you need a health department license, you have to have inspections. Same party, same people, same party, same people, same backyard, boom, regulation. So that's that's the dividing line, right? When you call it a business, now all of a sudden you're regulated. If you're just selling whole milk, it's just your excess and you're sharing it with your friends, and they're paying you for the feed for the animal, right? No big deal. Okay, so RFK was in this hearing and he talks about fraud in the system, and he's talking about Medicaid fraud. We've gone from paying for services to now Medicaid is paying for fraud.

SPEAKER_30 34:30

Senator, that is a huge problem. New York's new state pays on average 80% more per capita on Medicaid than any other state. Oh, 80% over the average. And part of the reason for that, as you point out, are these waiver programs that the states, many of the states have now applied for and received. In the old days, Medicaid paid for medical procedures. So if you got a hernia operation, we could figure that out at CMS. We could see you had a scar that was done by a licensed doctor, by a licensed nurse, and we could track to make sure it actually happened. Waivers allow people, family members who are taking care of an elderly parent who get paid for balancing the checkbook, for picking up the groceries, for driving somebody to a doctor's appointment. The biggest job in New York, 650,000 people, the biggest employment niche is home care. These are family members who are getting paid to do things that they used to do as family members for free. And they uh and this is rife with fraud because we have no way at CMS to determine whether they actually perform that duty or not. We don't know whether you drove your grandmother to a doctor's office. Oh, it's an opportunity for fraud, and the states are to state corrupt people, fraudsters are taking that opportunity all over the country. And it's one of the reasons that Medicaid doubled during the Biden administration. Because we are paying for fraud now as much as for medicine.

SPEAKER_07 36:20

We're paying for fraud now as much as for medicine. And he mentions that Medicaid doubled during the Biden administration. We've got insider trading, we have warrantless spying, which then creates cases against enemies of the state. You have even at small local government level, massive amounts of embezzlement being used for horse shows. You've got prostitution rings where chief of police and police officers are involved, and they're also colluding to go after their political enemies, right? And all this is going on at scale across every level of government. Would you say it's time for a remodel? Uh I'd say it's time for a remodel. It's either a remodel or revolution. We gotta have to pick a lane here. This is Joe Manchin that was on the all-in podcast, and this is this is like when Joe Manchin left office. So this is a while ago, but he talked about Joe Biden's staff.

SPEAKER_05 37:10

Doesn't the message have to go from the White House?

SPEAKER_12 37:12

Like, doesn't Biden's team somebody has to say, like Oh no, Ron, I'm gonna be honest with you, Ron Klain, okay? Smart guy, good guy, and everything. But Ron Klain was Biden's chief of staff. He had gone so far to the left and he pushed Joe left because I kept telling him. When I first went over to the White House, I said, Mr. President, I said, you have the most liberal staff that I've ever seen. First time I went over, and he said, Well, they tell me I have the most diversified staff. I said, We're not talking about diversity, sir. We're talking about bachelor's crazy. We're talking about people I've known, I've worked with in the hallway forever. And I know where they came and where they worked before. These are people real far left. And Ron put that team together. And I know that because I kept saying that your staff is pushing you too far left, Mr. President. You've never been that far left. Right. And I just someone says about, you know, I've I've always liked Joe Biden. We always got along well. Good man. I just don't think he lost the will to fight.

Political Absurdity And Local Remodel

SPEAKER_07 38:10

Doesn't he lost the will to fight? Because he's corrupt. And so he allowed corruption to come in because they they empowered him, they enabled him, and he enabled them. Now, there's a document that I've got that is part of our political remodel. I shared it with you yesterday. You get a chance to read it.

SPEAKER_11 38:27

I I didn't read the whole thing. It's 80 pages, man.

SPEAKER_07 38:30

Yeah, well, it is the marching plan. This is how we're going to take our counties back, and then we'll take our states back, and eventually we'll take our federal government back. Trump's doing what he can at the top. Okay. He's doing what he can at the top. And this is tight, this is titled A Absurdity-Based Society. I'm going to read just a little bit of this because this is like we have to see with clear eyes on this. When I look at the political circus we call American politics, I sometimes start to wonder whether the people who say we are living in the matrix might actually be onto something. The things our politicians do, the things they say, and perhaps most troubling of all, the complete lack of meaningful public reaction often makes me question any of this is real. Where is the logic? Where is the common sense? Most importantly, where is the outrage and demand by citizens for change after decades of dysfunction? There are situations I refer to as political absurdities. Events and conditions in both our political and social systems that are quite frankly absurd. Yet we have grown so accustomed to them that we now treat them as normal, everyday realities. Here are a few examples, political absurdities. We accept that politicians lie to us, not occasionally, not just a few of them, but routinely and almost universally. We hand these people power over our livelihoods, our freedoms and our families and our future, fully aware that many of them are dishonest.

SPEAKER_11 39:55

Okay, stop right there. That point, all by itself, is a huge point. I've been telling people right and left, we are being lied to constantly, and this entire thing is going to continue as long as we allow ourselves to continue to be lied to. Okay, carry on.

SPEAKER_07 40:12

Yes, exactly. Most people would not lend$5 to a known liar, yet they will hand over enormous authority to one at the ballot box, which will cost them hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. I am sure that many of you would agree that Democrats are liars and fraudsters. But do you have the intellectual honesty to admit that most Republican politicians are the same? We all understand human limitations. Humans beings are not especially good at predicting the future, managing highly complex systems or making flawless judgments. Yet we routinely empower individuals who not only fail in those areas, but pretend to possess extraordinary wisdom and foresight that allow them to succeed where everyone else fails. The truly disturbing part is that many of them cannot even manage basic budgeting and have many and many have long records of poor judgment and failed decision making. They stand before us with a metaphorical sign that says, I am a fraud, and we ignore it. We allowed unelected bureaucrats to exercise ordinary authority, control over our daily lives. We accepted a level of government control that would have once been unthinkable during COVID crisis. Bureaucrats and non-elected officials told people when they could leave their homes, what they had to wear, and what medical decisions they had to make. At the same time, dissenting scientists and doctors were often publicly smeared or silenced for offering contradictory evidence or alternative viewpoints. This happened in both Democrat and Republican-held states. Even after many of these policies and claims were challenged or shown to be flawed, there was little accountability. Those who misled the public faced few, if any, consequences. Worse still, few meaningful legal safeguards have been put in place to prevent the same overreach from happening again. And if you live in Washington state, they made it guaranteed it's gonna happen again. Which may be the greatest absurdity of all. If another crisis occurs, this is the very reason there is every reason to believe much of the same conduct will occur again. We elevate people with the per worst personality traits into position of powers. Many of the individuals most likely to rise in politics display traits that would disqualify them from leadership. Narcissism, super egos, manipulative, and self-centered. These are themselves not qualities of good public servants. These are the qualities of people who see themselves as rulers and care more about image, influence, and control than the well-being of the people that elected them. In many ways, we have elevated some of the least trustworthy personalities in society and then act surprised when they grow, when they govern accordingly. We normalize political self-enrichment. It is now considered normal for someone who enters office making a relatively modest income to leave office worth millions. Marjorie Taylor Green, list goes on Elon Omar. It goes both directions. This happens so often that most people barely react to it anymore. And again, it is not just Democrats. That should be shocking and totally unacceptable. Instead, it is treated as just another feature of political life. We tolerate rules for thee, but not for me. Politicians and public officials routinely operate under a different set of standards than the rest of society. They violate rules, ignore laws, abuse privileges, and often face no consequences. Yeah. In fact, it has become common to hear journalists and public commentators say things like if that were you or me, we would probably be in jail. But then nothing happens.

SPEAKER_11 43:22

You could hear that one here every morning.

Rumble Wallet Promo And Tips

SPEAKER_07 43:24

Yeah, every morning. No serious outrage, no sustained demand for reform, no real accountability. Often these same people are praised, protected, and re-elected. We accept laws that are disconnected from reality. We live under laws and regulations that are often poorly thought out, poorly researched, and obviously flawed, even under basic scrutiny, like don't drink raw milk. Yet many people act as if this is simply how government works. We all know that wealthy interests and political favoritism influence public policy every day. We recognize it when we see it, yet many still resist admitting that our political system is deeply corrupted. Anyway, in ways that resemble a third world country, that third world countries we often criticize. We allow fear and disorder to shape how we live. We've reached the point that many people avoid certain neighborhoods, avoid public spaces, avoid going out at night, and avoid letting their children experience the freedom that earlier generations once took for granted. Rioters and violent agitators are allowed to take over our streets. People increasingly are making decisions based on concerns about safety, instability, instability, and social disorder. This is not a sign of a healthy society. It is a sign of a society losing confidence in its own institutions and culture. We are forced to debate things that should not require debate. We are now having surreal national arguments over matters that not long ago would have been considered self-evident. Basic realities are increasingly treated as optional or offensive, and institutions are often expected to deny what common sense and biology plainly reveal. Having a serious debate and having laws passed regarding the issue of what is male and what is female has to be the most absurd topic imaginable. Yet it is one of the top debated issues of our time and is having impacts on medical practices, privacy issues, and education. We also see laws and morals, moral standards that are often riddled with contradictions so extreme that they would be laughable if they were not so consequential. These are the conditions and the so-called norms of the circus we call American politics. We see the clowns, we see the antics, we even laugh at them. Yet year after year, election after election, we continue empowering the same people to act as everything is the way it should be. That is what I find so baffling. It is frustrating. Political absurdities. You should have to have a warrant not to spy on people, right? You should not be able to do insider trading when you have insider information and are in those positions. All of that stuff seems self-evident. But yet we're debating what's male and female, and that stuff's that stuff's been voted on at 1:30 in the morning. It's insanity. What do you got for us, Ron?

Okay.

Disclosure Promises And DOJ Shifts

SPEAKER_07 47:53

But, anyways, we'd love to do that. Pray the Rosary Daily, happy morning. And uh yes, peasant perspective. Tips, tips, tips. Okay, so we've got the political absurdity. We see it happening. Donald Trump is a unique character because he's one of the victims of so much of this. The debanking, the spying, the political coup against him, the laundering information into the government in order to. The warrantless warrants. Warrantless warrants, exactly. All that. He's a victim of it. And so he is trying to push for accountability. Tulsi Gabbard and the other people in his in his office, they're working towards accountability. John Solomon was on with Benny Johnson yesterday, and he talked about how we are about to see a very quick pace of disclosure that should make some of this very clear, specifically leading into Trump's elections and some of the fraud committed. And I presume all the way leading up to January 6th and that kind of stuff. So this is pretty exciting.

SPEAKER_01 48:47

Could make our heads spin. Yeah. We're going to call, I'm going to give a code name. I know the FBI likes code names, so I'm going to make one up today. I think the president of the United States in the next couple of weeks will announce an operation. I would call the code name hypersonic clarity. We're going to get a level of transparency in a release and declassification of documents unparalleled in American history. The president's setting up something that I think will be unbelievable. There will be a speed of lightning, a speed of sound to release of documents. And those documents will help this prosecutorial team in Miami that's doing this hard work to not have to do CEPA proceedings and secret classified proceedings because the documents will be unclassified. The public will have transparency. The prosecutors will have that will make it easier, I think, for the prosecutors to uh find the bad guys and sort the good guys from the bad guys out without having to have months and years of CEPA proceedings, what are called Secrecy Act uh hearings, which slow everything down. They're going to ungum the trail and things are going to move quickly. I do think there will be some accountability. There'll never be enough for what we went through the last 12 years. We were deprived of a fair election because of this meddling and these uh PSYOP operations. We've been kept from information about vulnerabilities in our election system, which I'm going to have some good stories on that next week. Um, but transparency can speed the prosecutorial accountability project. It's something that the deep state did well to keep Bill Barr from achieving before 2020. I don't think this Justice Department is gonna fall for that. I think there'll be a speed of disclosure and a speed of prosecution that we didn't see in past years. Uh the grand conspiracy case will be the ultimate thing. Can they make that to get a grand conspiracy, Benny? You're gonna have to do what prosecutors do when they take down a mob boss, right? Remember they had to flip Sammy the Bull to get the Gambino family. They're gonna have to take a capo in this intelligence law enforcement machinery and flip them. And if you get one big name person and you flip them, um, maybe a deputy FBI director, a senior FBI official, a senior intelligence counsel official, and they say, hey, we'll make a deal with the devil because you're gonna testify up and down. I think they make that conspiracy case in a powerful way. And this begins to change very quickly. So keep an eye. Those are the things I'm watching for as a reporter in the next few weeks.

Supreme Court Redistricting Leak Talk

SPEAKER_07 51:02

Now, a lot of people suspect that Christopher Ray is that flipper, and this comes from the cue, you know, trust Ray, trust Ray. And Donald Trump actually mentioned that when Maria Bartoloma was interviewing right before he was elected. You know, are you gonna pick better people this time? Because Christopher Ray was horrible. He's like, eh, we'll we'll see. Yeah, we will see. We'll see if Christopher Ray was really all that bad. He was horrible by every measure. But if he flipped, if he flipped, we'll see. So it'll be kind of interesting. Now, since Pam Bondi has left the DOJ, very surprising to me, there's been a series of things that have happened that are really good. Todd Blanche has apparently apparently broke the log jam on the Proud Boys and the Oath Keeper's case, got that thing dismissed, which opened the door. Uh, the weaponization group that he was accused of quashing apparently has got some teeth on it now, is going to be releasing some reports. That's interesting. Makes me wonder if he was quashing it at Pam Bondi's direction. A lot of people said Pam Bondi was just going to be Bill Bar 2.0. Maybe she was. Maybe she was. So Lauren Bulber posted this yesterday. Big two-way win uh delivered by Todd Blanch and Stanley Wardward and the whole team at DOJ. And what this is is the DOJ asked to dismiss its appeal of the GOF and GOA's preliminary injunction against ATFs engaged in business rule. So, what this had to do was you could not sell your private guns. So I could not sell you a gun. That became a business activity. And then we had to go do the you know background checks, I had to get you background checked, and it all became this big public nonsense. We couldn't just sell guns privately. The government has backed off that, and they've asked the Court of Appeals to side with the original ruling that that's not a business activity and that we can do that. Hello, that is a huge win for 2A and peer-to-peer gun sales. Yeah. Imagine buying guns for Bitcoin. It's like amazing, right? So that's a pretty significant thing there. Okay, another thing that's happening, and this is not necessarily happening at the DOJ level, but at the court level, there was a case talking about uh the let's see, it's section two of the VRA in the is is a case that came before the Supreme Court, and this has to do with uh congressional districts. And they could the section two of the VRA made it so that you had congressional districts that were designated racial districts. So you had to have a black district or you had to have a Hispanic district. And so what this did is it caused them to make these weird shaped districts, and this really affects the South uh eat the Southwest uh East, right? Where you've got a lot of uh African American minorities, is you have these districts that are designated and created in such a way that basically only a black candidate can win. And they're they're not they're not legitimate, like they're just they're they're manufactured. The objective was diversity in Congress rather than a constituency of real people of real voters. So the court apparently, according to uh what do they call this podcast? It's Sean Spicer on the huddle. Apparently, on the huddle, he's got insider information from judges that this is going to get overturned. Now, you would think that judges keep their lips shut. They totally don't. I remember sitting with Steve Baker outside of the court in District of Columbia. He and I are sitting on the bench as I'm getting ready to go into a hearing, and he's like, hey, the 1512 obstruction card, I heard from an attorney who heard it directly from the judge that all the judges know that the Supreme Court's over going to overturn that. And so he's like, it's just a matter of time when they finally get to it. But he's like, it's it's a done deal. So all the judges that are doing it are kind of doing it in the face of that, but they all know on its face it's not going to clear the Supreme Court. So here's another similar thing: a leak coming out of the court system telling us that the Supreme Court's about ready to overturn this.

SPEAKER_18 54:51

I have been told by reliable sources that that that decision is done and that the minority is slow walking the descent, so that states can't uh in and and states do not have time to redistrict ahead of it. But I have been told very reliably that the minority is slow walking that descent. All right, wait, hold on a second, because I don't think I've read that anywhere. That is news. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 55:14

Okay. I have been told by Yeah, so it makes sense to me that that leak is coming out and that this descent is being slow walked to try to put it out late enough in the campaign season that there can't be redistricting. Again, these guys meddle, but uh the idea that Republicans can't win, it's like, no, we can totally win. The deck is stacked in our favor if we actually take advantage of the the things that are out there and the tools that are out there. The Democrats are holding on by fake stuff like fake districting, a fake census, a mainstream media machine that's hardwired against the.

SPEAKER_11 55:49

Every time we play a Harrionton clip with some percentages, it's like off the charts. 80% approval for you know Republican stuff, and you know, you know what I'm saying?

Seniors Polling And Midterms

SPEAKER_33 56:01

It's because President Trump is more than holding his own amongst a very large portion of the electorate, a very reliable voting block, and that is senior citizens. Take a look here, okay? Trump's approval rating age 65 plus. And you guys, this show is unscripted, okay? That's just exactly what we had teeth up. March of 2025, 46%. Look at where it is now. It's basically the same. Seniors have not moved. He's at 44% now. And the key nugget here is for all this talk about young people in the electorate, such as myself, or at least I like to include myself in that block, it turns out that older voters, senior citizens, vote in far larger numbers. So Republicans look at this number and they say, hey, you know what? We can actually potentially do some real damage, or at least hold our own in the midterms, because President Trump is holding his own with this very important voting block. So how does that number 44% compare historically to other presidents? Okay, this is where it gets even more interesting. It turns out if you look at all the 21st century second-term presidents and you look at senior citizens, Trump actually has the best approval rating at this point in the second term of all of them. Donald Trump at 44%. Obama was under 40% at 39%. George W. Bush was way down there at 34%. So Donald Trump is beating other presidents this century at this point in their second term, beating all of them. And therefore, as I said, holding his own amongst a very key voting bloc. The president of the United States and the White House should like this number, especially compared to Obama, who Trump, of course, always likes to beat.

SPEAKER_19 57:32

And this was George W. Bush after he started talking about reforming Social Security. That's a bad idea. Among seniors, it certainly is the so-called third rail of politics. All right, talk to me how his number may have moved a little bit, President Trump's and what that might mean.

SPEAKER_33 57:45

Okay, so you know, we spoke about the midterm elections. So, you know, oftentimes I ask myself, okay, you know, the president isn't obviously up for election this November, but Republicans in the House are. And so I think just making this comparison, right? You know, we've seen a lot of folks saying, oh, Republicans doom when it comes to midterm elections. But just take a look at this choice for election among age 65 plus. Back in November of 2024, Trump won that group by one point. We've seen some movement, but really not that much movement. Democrats ahead by three in the race for Congress. And as John and I were talking about, this could cost Republicans the House, but a number like this suggests to me that Republicans very, very well and are likely to hold the Senate. This is what we've seen in the polling data when we look nationally, we see that the movement, simply put, isn't there. And when you get the most reliable voting block, basically Republicans holding their own with maybe some slight movement of Democrats. These are the types of numbers I think Republicans have to be pleased with.

SPEAKER_19 58:38

I will say though, even this slight movement, probably enough at this stage to think for the House, but not for the Senate. All right, we're talking about the Senate here. There is a Senate race in a state that I'm told has a fair number of seniors. That's Florida. Republican Ashley Moody up for re-election there. What are the prediction markets saying about our chances?

SPEAKER_33 58:53

Yeah, I think there are a lot of people in uh New York City who may have some older relatives who live down on the Gold Coast in Southeast Florida. You think of the villages as well, and take a look here. Chance that the Republicans wins. Uh the Republicans hold on in the 2026 Florida Senate race. Look at this. An 83% chance. So the bottom line is this Florida, a state with a lot of seniors. Looks like Republicans are holding their own there. Not a big surprise as we've seen nationally Republicans holding their own with seniors, Donald Trump holding his own with seniors, and that's a key reason why the bottom hasn't fallen out, and Republicans have a fighting chance heading into this midterm election.

Iran Deal And Market Optimism

SPEAKER_07 59:25

And the truth of the matter is seniors boomers are way more experienced with politics. They've been around a while and they're picking a side, right? They've always they always pick one side or the other, but they're clearly picking the more Republican side. No tax on Social Security, no tax on tips, you know, all the things that Donald Trump does, as well as they have a little bit better of a view on worldwide geopolitics. So uh Donald Trump, it was it was announced yesterday that Iran agreed to a 20-year no-nuclear deal. Trump clarified that and said, no, it's forever. And they made a statement. So we basically have a deal, you know. I mean, it's not like there, but we have a deal. How did Trump achieve this deal? Senator Lady Graham was on Fox News talking about how that deal was achieved.

SPEAKER_23 1:00:12

First thing I want to tell you, it really is sort of breaking news to me. Donald Trump, President Trump, uh, our guy, is directly talking to the Iranians. He is negotiating himself. He was on the phone with the Iranians a couple of days ago. And it got rather sporty to the point that President Trump loudly told Iran what would happen if they keep playing games. He actually lost his voice. I'd hate to be the Iranian on the receiving end of that. So President Trump is now directly involved in the negotiations.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:46

Now he was yelling at him, you're gonna take a deal, or I'm gonna bomb you all down.

SPEAKER_11 1:00:52

Hell! Kingdom come.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:54

Praise Allah. So this is Donald Trump out in front of the White House getting ready to either coming on or coming off of Marine One, talking about that.

SPEAKER_16 1:01:03

Is there any other minimum stop enriching uranium? Would you think that's the same? Well, we haven't agreed to any we haven't agreed to any. What we have is we we have a statement, very uh very powerful statement, that they will not have beyond 20 years. That they will not have nuclear weapons. That's beyond there's no 20-year limit.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:26

So it's beyond the 20-year minute. They've got a statement from them, so it sounds like things are going pretty well. Donald Trump also addressed the markets because guess what?

SPEAKER_16 1:01:34

Markets were doing pretty good, things are doing well. The stock market is good, the oil prices are coming down, and it's looking very good that we're gonna make a deal with Iran, and it's gonna be a good deal. It's gonna be a deal with no nuclear weapons. The stock market is good, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:49

And Bitcoin is soaring, it's at 77,686 right now. It's like straight up graphics, it's pretty amazing. Okay, so that's really good. Sounds like we're on the verge of a deal. Trump has mentioned to Maria Bartolomo. War is pretty much over, and it's reflecting. And obviously, Donald Trump laid the groundwork this for a while. Guess what, Ron? It comes in at 26.7.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:13

Jobs, jobs are up, factories are no minus there. That's two and a half times what we expected. We're looking for a number around 10. Empire yesterday was quite strong as well. 26.7. Wow, uh, that would be the best level since January of 25, since Jan of 25. Really have to go back. And I know that, Joe, you've been paying very close attention and talking to many of the uh people on the hill about what's going on with manufacturing. Many believe, you know, we're not really making an impact. It's along a long runway to actually bringing onshore. But what we have noticed is last uh jobs report, we've seen a pickup of manufacturing jobs, we've seen Empire filling. Now, I know in many ways this is anecdotal, but you know, that's the way many big issues start is anecdotal evidence. So we want to pay.

Israel Lebanon Ceasefire Momentum

SPEAKER_07 1:03:01

So we're seeing manufacturing on the uptick. The other thing that happened yesterday, and this is a really big deal Netanyahu and the leader of Lebanon met and they've agreed to a ceasefire. So Donald Trump put out a post saying, This is my tenth war that I've now resolved, and Lebanon is likely to join the Abraham Accords. This is Trey Yank's reporting.

SPEAKER_29 1:03:25

Yeah, hey guys, good morning.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:26

A historic opportunity unfold and keep in mind, right, everything's muddled. Israel's got their thing, and they've made huge advances into Lebanon in their little incursion to go after Hezbollah.

SPEAKER_29 1:03:40

They believe that talks between Israel and Lebanon could lead to Lebanon joining the Abraham Accords. It's still early, but following direct conversations in Washington earlier this week, President Trump overnight on True Social posted, quote, trying to get a little breathing room between Israel and Lebanon. It has been a long time since the two leaders have spoken, like 34 years. It will happen tomorrow. Nice. As Israeli ground forces continue to operate in southern Lebanon, Hezbollah is still firing rockets and drones over the border. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying this about the situation.

SPEAKER_32 1:04:15

We are about to overcome the southern Lebanon town of Ben Shabil. We are, in effect, about to eliminate this great stronghold of Hezbollah. At the same time, I gave instructions to the IDF yesterday to continue widening the security zone and to also spread it eastward toward the slopes of Mount Hermon. So that we can better assist our Druze brothers in their time of distress.

SPEAKER_29 1:04:35

New video released by a Lebanese paramedic group shows an evacuation of wounded men, clearly marked medic vests they're wearing, taking place in Nabatia, southern Lebanon. While the wounded are being loaded into ambulances, another Israeli strike hits just outside of the vehicle. The Lebanese health ministry said four rescue workers were killed in Israeli strikes on Wednesday. The Israelis responded to a request for comment from Fox News saying, quote, overnight the IDF targeted Hezbollah combatants who were wearing paramedic vests and using ambulances to move Hezbollah fighters and weapons. We can confirm that four Hezbollah combatants were successfully killed in the strikes. And so a difference there in the statements from the Lebanese government and the Israeli government. But moving forward, there is optimism in the region about the possibility of these direct talks leading to a normalization agreement between the two countries.

Horseshoe Effect On The Extremes

SPEAKER_07 1:05:23

Guys? So Trey, yesterday this so things are still hairy, but very optimistic. They've got a 10-day ceasefire now for talks to happen. The leader of Lebanon and Netanyahu, Israel, are talking for the first time in decades. What if what if Lebanon joined the Abraham Peace Accords? What if Iran did? Wow. I'm telling you, things are looking up. Now, one of the things we have to be aware of, and this kind of goes along with our political remodel, right? We have to be really careful of something that's called the horseshoe effect. Right? So the political spectrum, a lot of people draw it on a state line. You go right in You go left. But what it really is, is it's a circle. As you go further right and further left, you loop back down to the bottom, and it's the same thing. That's crazy town down there. Yeah. As peasants, I say this all the time. I don't care if the boot's coming from the right and you're fascist or the left and you're communist, it's still a boot on my neck. You're still authoritarian. You're still a dictator. You still don't believe in freedom and stuff. You just pitch it differently. But the result for we the people is the exact same. Let me show you a great example of this. Most people would say Nick Fuentes is far right, would they not? And as you go down that path, further and further right, and I am seeing this happen with some people that are close and to me that I care about. They've gone so far right, oops, they've met up with their friends on the left. So here's Nick Fuentes, who people consider super far right, and Anna Kasparian, who people consider super left. Wouldn't it be interesting if they agreed on almost everything? They just sold it to you differently. Our country is under a hostile occupation.

SPEAKER_13 1:07:12

Israeli occupation of the United States government. Israel controls our government. Israel controls our government. Control and influence and manipulate our system. Ruled and controlled and manipulated by the nation-state of Israel. They are vampires. They suck our blood. They suck the life out of this country. I'm not a slave to Israel. Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear arsenal. The supreme leader of Iran promulgated a fatwa. He had to put out a fatwa against nuclear weapons. We had to join Israel's war of choice. A war of choice? That's what this is. The real threat to America is from Israel. Our alliance with Israel as an existential threat to the United States. They will nuke the entire world. Israel is the biggest threat to world peace. Let us never forget who the real enemy is. The enemy is Israel. We need to decouple from this country. We need to decouple. Decouple. Let's separate. We need to free America from this sick, perverse, parasitic organism that has attached itself to us. Foreign nationals leeching off of public services. The pariah state that has leached off the American people. It's not just Nanyaho. On some level, it is the Israeli people. The behavior of the Israeli government, and quite honestly, the vast majority of the Israeli population. They dehumanize us. They don't see us. They don't see Palestinians as human. I'm an awakened goy. Boy of our awaking the F up. Jewish people think they're better than everybody. And you think you're better than everyone else. You know, the Jews do this. Yes. Go the fuck back to Israel. Go back to Israel. Greater Israel. The Greater Israel project. The famous Dancing Israelis. The whole dancing Israelis thing. The genocidal state? A genocidal, disgusting state. Why would I give a fuck about Israel? I don't give a damn about Israel. I don't give a damn. And I don't fucking trust them. I don't trust the Israelis. Your right to exist is not real. I don't believe Israel has the right to exist. Don't be moralized by wicked evil people. People as evil as this exist in this world. God's chosen people rejected their own messiah. You think you're God's chosen people when you act like absolute demons. Interesting.

SPEAKER_11 1:09:52

Very interesting. You know, setting aside setting aside all the content of what they said, it's very interesting to see something like this where it's just like uh a CNN slash Fox News release where the messaging is all coordinated. I wonder if these people have the same handlers from the CIA.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:10

It makes you wonder. Or maybe Qatar. Right. Or Iran. Right. Or you've just gone full circle. Oh. You know, I mean, Hitler and Stalin meet and they're like, hey, who can kill Jews better? I'm gonna do it in the name of my comrades, and I'm gonna do it in the name of Aryan race, whatever. But the result isn't the same. Let's trade some notes. That's the thing. Socialism, communism, fascism, progressivism, they all lead to the same place. Authoritarian dictatorship rule. This is the political absurdity. There is no right or left. It's a circle, man. If you go too far one direction or the other, you're gonna meet your freaking opposites. Okay. So Donald Trump posted this out. He posted this, and he's been going after the influencers Megan Kelly, Candace Owens, um, Tucker Carlson, who else was in there? Uh Alex Jones. And they are all prime examples of this. Those guys, Megan Kelly, you know, went left, came back, and now she's back full circle to where she was. At one point, she was telling you, you can transition your kids great. It's nice. And then she's like, transitioning's bad. And now she's all the way back to do what the state says, or you know, now I hate the state because Trump's in charge. It's like they've come full circle back back to themselves. Some people call it the horseshoe effect. I just call it the political spectrum. It's a circle.

SPEAKER_09 1:11:37

Yep.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:37

Okay. Who's dumber? Tucker Carlson or Joe Kent. It's very interesting. I met with Joe Kent at Dover Air Force Base along with numerous others who had lost their loved ones in war. I said hello to all the families. Kent horribly lost his wife. Her casket was being brought to Dover along with the rest. Although he married again quite quickly, in my opinion. In any event, a number of years, and he mentions that because it matters who we married, right? She's working over there at um what's his name's outfit, that super far left publication. Interesting. In any event, a number of years later, I noticed the same person was running for Congress, Washington State, and lost. Then I noticed a couple years later he was running again and lost. Well, I don't know him other than our brief Dover encounter, but feeling sorry for him after the two election losses, I told my people, hire him for the White House, give him a job, make him feel good. He lost his wife in two elections. They did so. And while I rarely saw him, I certainly didn't expect disloyalty. But that's not what I got. But that is what I got. Yeah, that's what I got. He was really a sleaze bag, and some would say on top of that, a leaker. I don't know whether or not that was true, but next time, no more Mr. Nice Guy. Kent is a loser, like Tucker, Candace, Megan, and the rest are losers. You're born that way, low IQ, and then there's not a damn thing they're going to be able to do about it. President Donald J. Now, again, you kind of get this going on too. If Ilan Omar is singing your praises and you're on the right, you might have lost the plot.

SPEAKER_26 1:13:23

They're saying, I am done with you.

Cancer Spike And Microplastics Confusion

SPEAKER_07 1:13:25

We should give them credit for that thing that has been if your political stance aligns with Ilan Omar, and now you've met, hey, you hate Trump too. I hate Trump. How can we get Trump and ignore all of our other principles and all the other, you know what I mean? Guys, it's the political horseshoe. You got to be careful who you align with. And it goes the same with us with Republicans, right? I like Thomas Massey and a lot of the things he does, but there's other things I don't like. I do believe that power matters and someone has to take power here. And I hope it's someone that's on our side. This is why I'm so committed to a political remodel, and it has to start at the local level. It's the only thing that we can affect. Otherwise, we're just talking to the microphone, talking about all these great people. And one of the things that both Nick Fuentis and Anna Kasparian have done, and Tucker and Megan and Candace and you know uh Kyle Seraphim, and you can go on and on and on, they start to hate Trump. And I I I sometimes think that's not very fair because Trump is a is an is an element of change. But what happens is they start to bread their butter with rage. It starts to be the system's broken, the system's broken, the system's broken, and it is broken. The Dancing Israelis thing is a really curious oddity. Israel's behavior is really curious, but it becomes just rage around it because they can't change it. They don't have an escape from it, and they end up contributing to the very system. As long as we fight against each other and we hate the government, but we're still fighting against each other about all these left-right things. We don't actually see the problems for what they really are, but we delude ourselves into thinking we do. We create boogeyman, but we don't really go after the deep, deep crises, right? That is one thing I appreciate about those guys that are standing up on the FISA. That's where a lot of this begins. And in FISA, those guys, they can influence the influencers to have these extreme opinions that just end up being Deep State 2.0. You know, they become Operation Mockingbird without even knowing you're on the payroll. Katie Crook did a little podcast interview, and this is hilarious to me. This is hilarious to me to go along with absurdities. What happened six years ago and five years ago that everybody who was opposed to it said one of the results would be mass death and cancer. I mentioned it in the briefing here. The medical stuff, when medical science comes out and tells us the truth, but then there's this marching order to keep pushing on. COVID, right? COVID vaccines, the MMR vaccines. And it was widely believed by conspiracy theorists that it would lead to turbo cancers and it would lead to excess all mortality deaths. Katie Couric has been meeting with doctors and she's questioning what the F is going on. Dad, I'm sorry. I know we've reached your limit for F-words on the show today, but we got at least one more. Katie Couric, renowned reporter, is questioning what's happening.

SPEAKER_27 1:16:21

What the fuck is going on? I had coffee with an oncology fellow about two months ago, and she said, I had a very rough day. I just had to tell a 21-year-old college student with no family history that he had stage four colorectal cancer. And I'm hearing more and more about people in their early 40s, 30s, even 20s being diagnosed with this disease at an advanced stage, often metastatic colorectal cancer. I can't even tell you guys how crushing it is. And of course, I'm excited about trying to figure out why this is happening. You know, epidemiological why?

SPEAKER_07 1:17:02

Trying to figure out why.

SPEAKER_27 1:17:05

Really? Because those have been with us for a while. You know, it's a confluence of things that include ultra-processed food, maybe microplastic.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:23

Uh oh, by the way, the microplastics studies and micro plastics and everything. Guess what? It got debunked. You know what it is? They didn't account for the latex on the gloves on the testers. Oh my gosh. I'm dead serious. They're dead serious. They did a side-by-side. They did one with latex gloves and one with just clean hands. Yeah. And the clean hand, same materials. Clean hands one showed no mitroplexus. The latex glove one showed you know levels of microplastics. It literally comes down to the gloves the testers are wearing. So all these studies were tester contamination. Tester contamination. Exactly. And they were testing like bottled water. You know, people are avoiding bottled water because it's got plastic and all this stuff. Turns out the plastic's actually pretty good. It's it holds its own. It's the latex freaking gloves that you're putting on the slides to do the tests. It's amazing.

SPEAKER_27 1:18:14

Forever chemicals over prescription of antibiotics. I don't know what is happening, but something is going on, and there's 17 cancers. 17 cancers are increasing among people under 50. So what the fuck is going on?

SPEAKER_07 1:18:32

I have to laugh. You know, it goes on to the absurdities. We we listen, go listen to Del Bigtree. Go listen to uh what's his name? Uh Peter McCola. Go listen to Robert Malone, RFK, all of these guys. This is the problem.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:45

Don't drink raw milk.

Staying Sane And Seeing Both Sides

SPEAKER_07 1:18:48

The don't drink raw milk crowd. Can't figure out what's going on. Oh my goodness, what a mess. Pray the Rosary Daily said that is an amazing montage. It really is. It really is. I look at myself in the mirror every day and I say, don't get too extreme on anything. My dad's gonna laugh because he's always viewed me as like an extremist, right? But don't get too extreme on anything. When you feel like you can't see the other side, step back, right? Stephen Covey in uh Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, seek first to understand, then to be understood. And this is something that my dad used to always give me. He was always saying, if you read a book on the right, read a book on the left. So while I was reading Rush Limbaugh books, I was also reading um Al Franken books. Okay. Okay. I would read both. And my dad would give me a Glenn book back, and then I would go buy some liberal book and be like, Look, dad, I thought the opposite, right? Always try to see both sides. And I think it it makes you a little bit more well-rounded. Both sides have good points, both sides have good policy points from time to time.

SPEAKER_11 1:19:53

Well, it tempers you so you don't steam.

How The Dialectic Splits Values

SPEAKER_07 1:19:56

Donald Trump is the first politician, and we all need to become this way. Okay. We all need to become this way. Donald Trump is the first politician that no longer wanted to use the Hegelian dialect in the way it was it with the way it's been consistently presented. And what the Hegelian dialect does is it moves you a certain direction without you knowing you're moving. So, for example, let's take a really good issue, and that is the issue of right to life.

SPEAKER_11 1:20:25

Well, the Hegelian dialect, what it does is it pitches people against each other. And I think what Donald Trump is trying to do is he's trying to be a peacemaker.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:33

Well, he's trying to be a peacemaker, but he's also common sense. Okay. So the Hegelian dialectic takes something that's common sense. For example, everybody supports your right to live. Like 99.9% of people are like, you have a right to life.

SPEAKER_11 1:20:46

But then you got to split it somehow and create two camps.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:50

Yes. So if your objective is to depopulate, then you need to create two camps. So here's how they split the right to life. One side says you have a right to live and is anti-war. We don't want unnecessary death because of wars of choice, et cetera, et cetera. Okay. So right to life. But that same side that wants to let living people live doesn't believe a fetus or an unborn child is living and supports the right to kill the unborn child by choice. So we're against wars of choice, but we're for murder by choice of the unborn. And if the net result is you get more death. Okay. On the other side of the aisle, the right side, you become pro-war. Let's go to Iraq, let's go to Afghanistan, let's nation build and kill two million Iraqis in Afghanistan. War of choice, death. But then you become pro-life for the unborn. So now you've taken the pro-life issue, because everybody's pro-life, but you've split it up. You've created an ideological split. To one group you serve their self-interest to not have a family and not have that obligation. But then at the same time, you want to have obligation to the living, to the immigrant, to the foreigner, et cetera, et cetera. And the other one says, no obligation to the foreigner, but we have an obligation to the babies. So you have two sets of people, and when we meet one-on-one, I say, Do you believe that people have a right to live? Yes. So now if I say that, then I just say, then probably no wars of choice. Well, yeah, of course. And probably if we believe that uh a fetus, uh an unborn child, is alive, do they have a right to live? Well, yeah, of course. Would we charge someone with murder if they kick a mother in the stomach and it causes the unborn baby to die? Well, yeah, of course we would do that. Okay. So why do the political parties split the issue? That's called Hegelian dialectic. So we have to look at the beer and go, no, my values and my principles are consistent. I support life. I don't support wars of choice. I don't support death to babies in the womb. It's both issues. Now, obviously, I support our actions in Iran. Why is that? Well, there's other political reasons too. But you know what we're not doing? We're not bombing schools unless they have guns in them, you know, unless they've got missile launchers in them. Right? Do you see what I'm saying there? There's that's justice, that's accountability. We also support that. You have to do something with murderers and terrorists and things like that. So, point is once you have your principles, you have to learn to stand on them. You have to avoid that dialectic because if you get sucked into it, you end up like, you end up like um You end up being a murderer. You end up being a murderer. You end up like Nick Fuentes and Anna Kasparion, who all of a sudden meet back at the bottom of the spectrum and they're like, hey, partner, hey, friendly murderer. Clarence Thomas said it best.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:38

You can be in the middle of a hurricane. Or you can be on a calm day, north is still north. You could be in a thunderstorm, north is still north. People can yell at you, north is still north. It doesn't change fundamental things. And in this business, right is still right, even if you stand by yourself.

Fix The Money Fix The World

SPEAKER_07 1:24:01

You can and that's where we as peasants have to get a little bit stronger in our convictions. And it all leads back to you gotta take back your political process in your county. That's where you can go make a difference. Every single one of you can go find your local party meeting, whether it's Democrat or Republican, and you can go make a difference. You don't have to feel like you're by yourself, you don't have to feel like you're by yourself, even if sometimes you are, yeah, right? But people will flock to that security. Everybody wants an island, everybody wants that stability. That is one thing that Donald Trump, he's been consistent. That's why boomers, older generations who grew up with him, right? They're his age group. They grew up with him, they see the consistency, and they're like, I might not agree with everything, but at least I know what you stand for. Okay, so switching topics here, there's a phrase in the Bitcoin world, fix the money, fix the world. And money absolutely has a huge impact on everything we do, right? Everything we do. And it's the impetus for wars, it's the it's the beginning of fraud, the un unal the unability to audit the current financial system is is causes these incentives for things like insider trading. It causes the incentives for embezzlement for Medicaid fraud and on and on and on in the list goes. Makes money slippery. It makes money slippery. And there's always a presumption that banks are in on it. Banks are in on it, but they're also not in on it. Does that make sense? Like bankers are bankers. Everybody who gets trained as a banker, when you go to college and you take your CPA and all this stuff, it's ledgers, it's exams, the books have to balance. And then when you get in, then you see kind of how it is, but you still want clarity. You still want things to be better.

SPEAKER_11 1:25:41

Operate with like some kind of a plausible deniability.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:44

Yes. And so it's kind of like everybody knows money's not real and it's created by the loan application, but nobody really wants to admit that nothing's being lent because why would you because then why would you pay your bills? You know what I mean? And so it's like on one hand, we want law and order, we want accountability, we want weights and measures when it comes to money, but on the other hand, we don't have that. And so we end up in this cognitive dissonance moment. Howard Lutnick addresses this when it comes to banks and specifically dealing with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Both of those cryptocurrencies can be fiat, you can just create tokens. It's kind of a mess. But when it comes to Bitcoin specifically, it is a standard. It's a protocol standard. Okay, it's internet gold. And we've talked about this enough that hopefully you guys are all familiar with this generally. And he says banks want it. Unlike what people think, that they don't want it. It's the politicians that don't want it. It's the people that are now making their entire livelihood off the grift and graft that want it. But generally, 90% of bankers and 90% of people that are responsible to their, you know, have fiduciary duty to their depositors and things like that, they do want something like this because then it creates transparency in the system, which allows us to get back to the good old gap, generally accepted accounting procedures. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:03

So there's Howard Luttnick. The easiest way to get a clear view of where Bitcoin is going over the next five years is take a look at the last five. Okay, the last five, Bitcoin has been an outsider in the finance business, but coming closer and closer and closer. Right now, there's an ETF just starting to go a little bit mainstream, maybe a toe in the water of mainstream, but banks still can't clear it, banks still can't transact in it, banks still can't custodian it, banks still won't transact in it, and they won't finance it yet. I think people misunderstand traditional financial service companies. They want to transact Bitcoin, they want new asset classes to transact it. That's just a good thing. But they need the regulator to say it's okay. Now today, right? If a bank were to hold your Bitcoin, they would have to set aside their own money equal to that amount in sort of like in a jail. I mean, you'd say, so well, that's crazy. The answer is that's why they don't hold it. But if you let them hold it, if the regulatory environment was good, you will see all the traditional financial service companies, the big banks, big brokerage companies, they're all gonna go head first into Bitcoin. That's what's going to happen and it's coming. It's a slow, steady process, but eventually there's gonna be a CFTC chair who says, you know what? Bitcoin is a financial asset, and we're gonna treat it as such. And when that happens, you're going to see Bitcoin move in very, very strong positive direction. So that's why I'm a fan of Bitcoin. It's going to go much higher. It always bounces around like any other financial asset, but ultimately over the next five years, as it gets invited into this party, up we go.

Banks, Regulation, And Bitcoin Access

SPEAKER_07 1:29:12

Bitcoin just crossed over 78%. The easiest way to get it clear$78,000. Just in this show, it's gone up a thousand dollars. So it'll probably come right back down, right? But Bitcoin is happening. Now, this was filmed a couple years ago. Now Howard Lutnick's in this commerce, and we've got a uh chairman of the Federal Reserve that's probably going to adopt a lot of these principles. And one of the things Bitcoiners have said for a long time is slowly, then suddenly. Okay. Slowly, then suddenly. The for original Bitcoiners, the objective was$100,000. And once$100,000 happened, a lot of that was retail. That was people on the street checking out of the financial system. And then there were a lot of profit takers. A lot of people sold, sold, sold, sold, and it caused this market cycle to come down. The thing is, though, once it hit$100,000, it proved itself. Now banks and all these financial institutions, not only is it the right protocol, not only does it create accountability, not only does it release the banks of all these fines that they get for laundering Jeffrey Epstein's money, or like the story we played earlier where the lady was laundering the money through the bank, the bank had to pay a$3 million fine for having the account there and not catching it themselves, right? Eliminates all of that. Yesterday, and there are multiple ETFs that are being traded that are buying Bitcoin, and all they do is buy, buy, buy, buy, buy. They never sell. They're taking it off the market. They're creating scarcity. Okay. Morgan Stanley yesterday rang in the bell at the New York Stock Exchange. They're the first bank bank bank that is now offering an ETF. This is a huge, huge deal. It's probably one of the reasons why Bitcoin's taking a bump this morning. Look at these headlines from the past 24 hours. Goldman Sachs, Bitcoin ETF push signals Wall Street, taming uh Wall Street taming of crypto. The cheapest Bitcoin ETF yet, Morgan Stanley, uses 14% fee to draw$100 million in the first week. Charles Swab to launch direct Bitcoin, either trading to either trading to compete with Robin Hood. How a 23-year-old Wall Street Insta crucial institution went all in on crypto, the New York Stock Exchange. Wow. Okay. Now, for people that do hold Bitcoin, I saw this post and I think it's interesting. From whole coiners. So when people talk about Bitcoin, Bitcoin's too expensive. It's$75,000. And I and I'm too late. I'm too late. You're not too late. Okay. You're not too late. We're in a transition right now. This is post says from whole coiners to Satoshi millionaires. The whole coiner era, the people that are trying to stack whole coins, get 10 Bitcoin, 5 Bitcoin, or 1,000 Bitcoin is almost over. We're entering the phase where the average person won't be able to own a full Bitcoin ever again. Satoshi millionaires will be the new obtainable chase. Now, Bitcoin is the whole coin. Satoshis are the decimals.

SPEAKER_11 1:31:58

Right. Okay. So before we go any further, I've already had several conversations with people, and the topic that comes up is well, what happens when they run out of coins?

Slowly Then Suddenly Adoption

Institutional Accumulation And Supply Shock

SPEAKER_07 1:32:09

And that's just like the price go through the roof. Oh my gosh. It's 21 million divided by infinity. Yeah. Satoshi millionaires will be the new obtainable chase. Most people won't realize it until it's way too late. A lot of you holding a full coin right now probably don't think much about it. But mark my words, when this bull run hits, most of y'all will sell. You'll convince yourself it's life-changing money and walk away. And sure, it might be. But one day people are going to look back and say, Wow, you had a whole Bitcoin? Just like we laugh at the guy who spent$10,000 on a Bitcoin on pizza. You've got one. Maybe keep it. Just one long term. You really don't understand what's happening yet. And here's how it works out. 370,000. I'm gonna I'm gonna read this here so you guys can read along with me on the on the chart. This comes from Bitcoin News Alerts. 373,000 Bitcoin getting absorbed right now. Now compare that to reality. Only 400 Bitcoin are mined per day. That's all new supply. Hundreds of thousands are pulled off the market. Not a trend, a structural break. Here's what's actually happening. As of April 15th, 2026, Tether now holds 97,141 Bitcoin, over 7 billion in Bitcoin, a stablecoin issuer holding more Bitcoin than most public companies. And they're adding just this week, they transferred another 951 Bitcoin into reserves. Not trading, accumulating. At the same time, El Salvador is adding roughly one Bitcoin per day, now holding over 7,600 Bitcoin. Sovereign accumulation, slow but relentless, and it doesn't reverse. Now zoom out. Wales just accumulated 270,000 Bitcoin in 30 days, the largest accumulation event since 2013. And corporations are accelerating. Metaplanet, 4,000 Bitcoin, 40,000 Bitcoin in 12 months, a 10x increase. Strategy, over 100,000 Bitcoin accumulated in 30 days, now holding 800,000 Bitcoin, more than BlackRock, a single company outaccumulating the largest asset managers in the world. Meanwhile, BlackRock just bought 3,940 Bitcoin in one day. Over 13,571 Bitcoin in six days. This is slowly, then suddenly they're buying it and they're not running it on the news to tell you about it. Because right now you can get in at bargain level prices. Morgan Stanley,$100 million inflows in under one week. And a$3 billion XSICO just said live on CNBA, CNBC, we're going to buy as much Bitcoin as we possibly can. Not isolated, coordinated. Now layer on the most important number. There are only about 1.9 million Bitcoin left on exchanges for purchase. That's the liquid supply. The Bitcoin that can actually be bought. Everything else locked, lost, or held by long-term holders who don't sell. So when demand hits 373,000 Bitcoin, nearly 20% of all available exchange supply gone. It's a single month. In a single month. And again, strategy absorbs another 25,000 Bitcoin in 48 hours.$2 billion deployed. That's not a market. That's a vacuum, a supply vacuum. And vacuums don't stabilize, they accelerate. And now another wave of demand entering the market. Charles Schwab, a$12 trillion financial giant, is launching Bitcoin spot trading. Walmart, with over a billion monthly customers, is integrating Bitcoin payments. Global adoption is expanding faster than supply can respond. At the exact moment supply is disappearing, this is where the math becomes unavoidable. Bitcoin producers, 450 per day, 3,150 Bitcoin per week, 164,000 Bitcoin per year. Now compare that to the demand alone. Just strategy, 100,000 Bitcoin in 30 days. Whales, different whales on the market, 270,000 Bitcoin in 30 days. Combined, 370,000 Bitcoin absorbed in one month. That's two plus years of new Bitcoin supplied absorbed in 30 days. 30 days versus two years. Let that sink in. And those are not sellers, by the way. They're taking it off the market because they're using it as gold, digital gold. There is no scenario where that balances. Violent repricing. No liquidity, no resistance. Repricing doesn't ask for permission. This is where price targets stop being speculation and become unavoidable. Because once supply gets constrained, price must rise to unlock sellers. So what does that look like? The first break was a$100,000 break. Demand accelerates. Banks get in on it.$250,000, institutions increase allocation. Even small businesses are going to get in on it.$500,000, sovereigns begin competing. At a million, it becomes the global reserve asset. Not the top, the new baseline. This is the level we've been pointing to for months because at$1 million, Bitcoin is only$21,000, is only at a$21 trillion market cap, less than gold. Now continue the math. If Bitcoin absorbs a fraction of gold,$34 trillion, bonds,$143 trillion, and real estate,$393 trillion, you get$1 million. You don't get$1 million. You get$2 million, then$5 million, then$10 million per coin. Not gradually, but through gaps, because there are no sellers in between, only higher bids. There isn't enough supply to support smooth price discovery. And then comes the end game: 21 million Bitcoin. 100 million sats per coin. If a Bitcoin reaches global monetary scale, which it's on its way, you don't price Bitcoin in dollars, you price dollars in satoshis, sats. 1 million per Bitcoin, one Satoshi equals$1. Dollar at SAT parity. That's not a meme. That's the end point of the math. Not a prediction, it's a consequence. And this is part that most people still miss. This isn't about pricing going up, it's about supply disappearing faster than the world can react. If gold is the thing, we saw it with the reserves the last decade, gobbling up reserves to where the dollar drops, right? Now they know it's Bitcoin because you can't move the gold. Because once Bitcoin is locked away, there is no reset, no second chance, no better entry, only higher prices. As demand collides with absolute scarcity, so the question isn't if Bitcoin reaches a million, the question is how fast does one million get left behind? Once the market realizes there isn't enough Bitcoin left to buy, because based on what we're seeing right now, this is this isn't early anymore. It's already happening. This is like when the internet was created in 1996, there were just a couple people doing it. Right? We're at the point where once people go, Oh, I can do the internet for everything. You mean Bitcoin can be everything? That's when everybody's in on it. And they're doing it. And they're doing it behind the scenes. And just like everything else, the military had and the government had internet 20 years before we did. Bitcoin came from the people first, and now they can't avoid it. They've spent decades, uh, almost you know, a decade and a half saying Bitcoin's gonna go to zero, it's no good, it's not gold. Why? Because that creates their dollar and fiat hegemony. But now it's unavoidable, and bankers get it. They're like, hey, this solves our problems too, our liquidity issues. This solves our asset backing issues. When you back fake money with more fake money backed by fake bonds, backed by more fake promises, you're on a house of cards. Bitcoin provides that reality for them in the modern internet age. Last 20 look at this here. Major bank adoptions in 2021. US Bank was the first toy bank to simply allow customers to hold Bitcoin in their custody. PNC Bank in December 9th, 20, 2025, direct spot Bitcoin trading for private banking clients, Bank of America, January 5th, 2026. Advisors can now recommend Bitcoin ETFs. There haven't been a lot of them, but Morgan Stanley just opened one. Morgan Stanley, April 8th, 2026, launch of its own Bitcoin ETF. Goldman Sachs, April 14th, 2026, filed for Bitcoin Premium Premium Income ETF. That was three days ago. The big boys are big guys are in on it. And here's the thing: as peasants, you have to understand Bitcoin for us is is it creates bilateral transparency. The government financing becomes transparent. This is the only way to solve the fraud and corruption in the system and the waste of our tax dollars. Right now, RFK can get up there and but we have no idea if grandma's being driven to work. No, there's no accountability to this money. Bitcoin changes that because I can log into my node and I can see how much money the U.S. Treasury has.

SPEAKER_11 1:41:02

Recall Elon talking about how many different locations where it was just not auditable.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:09

Literally a magic minor printer. Don't print the check. It's not a tie to appropriations or anything.

SPEAKER_11 1:41:14

Right.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:15

When you realize that by continuing to use the money as it currently stands, you're you're in this already defeated system. This is how you end up with people that that contribute to their own demise. As Ayn Rand describes, right? You give power to the blackmailers, to the thieves, the robbers, because you need them, right? Well, with money, money, their money, like it's and and she talks about watch the money. Because when governments start printing money, it means nothing anymore. They now have the control. There's a phrase in the Bitcoin world, and I can't remember exactly who said it, but he says, never work for something, never work for money that someone else can print, right? And that's where we're at. So here's a Bitcoin podcaster on the Simply Bitcoin podcast talking about how this becomes inevitable. And as people realize that Bitcoin is the solution to war, it's the solution to fraud, it's the solution to your depreciating dollar in your savings account, adoption becomes inevitable. We're there. Slowly, then suddenly. It doesn't mean Bitcoin won't have up and downs, but oh my goodness, the trend line.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:20

So if you are from the political philosophy of Elizabeth Warren, who wants a central bank digital currency very similar to the European Union, very similar to Christine Lagarde, very similar to uh the European central bank, you are freaking the F out. You don't want your central bank digital currency to have an alternative. Because to use Christine Lagarde's own words, they see that alternative as an escape valve.

SPEAKER_07 1:42:50

So who's pushing the central bank stuff? It's always been the socialists. It's always been the socialists. Progressivism, fascism, Marxism, communism, they all came out of this central bank idea. To control the people, you have to control the money. And in the United States, the the coup happened in 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve, and you stopped having independent regional gold warehouses where we controlled our own money and it was all based on good investments, the Gilded Age, and we centralized it. That is communism. We created a central economic model. Capitalism in America is an illusion. It's just rebranded. At least communists are honest about it, right? We're dishonest about it.

SPEAKER_11 1:43:39

Well, we audit everything like it is capitalism.

SPEAKER_07 1:43:43

Yes. So then all this centralized economy, first thing they did was they flooded the market, roaring 20s. Then when natural market consequences happened because of the easy money and bad investments, speculation, you had the stock market crash, and then the political coup happened with the election of FDR. A progressive Woodrow Wilson set in place FDR nailed the coffin shut. And now we have political socialism just rebranded in America. But we definitely don't have capitalism because your money's not worth anything.

SPEAKER_11 1:44:15

Yeah. Well, you just print as much as you need.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:17

So the socialists, the communists, the European Union want CBDCs and they want to push Bitcoin out, which puts the burden on us, real living people, to transition this and make sure our banks and governments get into it. Right?

SPEAKER_05 1:44:34

If people have an alternative, if people have an alternative to leave the system that steals from them through currency debasement that censors them at the whims of a politician, and they have the alternative of something like Bitcoin, which is censorship resistant and can't be debased. What do you think people are going to do over time? They're going to pick Bitcoin because it is the better alternative. And this isn't just a theory anymore. I've been saying it for years, but now we're seeing it play out. Now we're seeing it play out in Iran.

Surveillance To CBDCs Escape Hatch

Sign Off And Tip Reminder

SPEAKER_07 1:45:11

And Iran, right? They're out, and Iran is going to rebuild on Bitcoin because the people have it. Iran's been using Bitcoin to get money, and now it's going to be a capitalist economy by default. Bitcoin defaults to capitalism. All right, guys. No private show for today, but that was pretty good. And again, that was excellent. We start out at the beginning, that FISA warrant, and what did they attach to it? CBDCs. Whether you go too far right or you go too far left, what do you end up with? Dictatorship, authoritarianism, totalitarianism. I don't care if the boot comes from the right or the left, it's a boot on my neck. And when you see spying and currency on the same bill, there's your sign. Take the escape while you can. Take the escape while you can. All right, guys, that's it for us today. Don't forget tips. Get your Rumble wallet. Even if that's your first introduction to crypto and Bitcoin, do it. We'll talk to you guys again tomorrow. Bye.

SPEAKER_34 1:47:11

We perpetuate the economic and social differences in. How do you do, good lady? Um King of the Britons. Whose castle is that? The Britons. We're all we are all Britons. I am your king. Stop perpetuating autocracy in which the working class is. That's what it's all about. These good people. Who lives in that castle? Who lives in that cast? Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. What? I told you. We're in a non-closed synagogue commune. We take it in turn to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. Yes. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biology meeting. Yes, a simple majority in the case of pure internal officers. The lady of the lake. Sixty five. That is what an important discriminant source is no basic system of government. Supreme executive power. It's not from some flashical aquatic speech. You can't expect a whale supreme executive power. Just because some more retro just because some motion speaks.
