We Keep Getting Played By Crisis Politics

They tell us we need a crisis to justify the spending, the rules, and the “experts” who always seem to benefit. We challenge that whole engine today, starting with everyday choices like Bitcoin and homeschooling and ending with the big narratives that move nations. 

We talk through why Bitcoin can feel like gambling in the short run but becomes a serious long-term strategy when you understand cycles, incentives, and regulation. Then we dig into the homeschooling boom and why more families see public school as a time sink that also imports a culture they never consented to. We connect the dots between family structure, education, personal responsibility, and the kind of citizens a country produces. 

From there, we lay out the Hegelian dialectic in plain language: create or elevate a problem, force a public argument, then lock in a “solution” that becomes the new normal. We use climate change policy as the case study, including the money trails, NGO incentives, and how “weaponized empathy” shows up in healthcare benefits, migration narratives, and local bureaucracy. We also hit hard numbers that should scare anyone who thinks trade and security are guaranteed, like the tiny count of US-flagged merchant ships compared to China’s fleet, plus Seattle grant fraud allegations and New York’s push to tax empty luxury property. 

We round it out with election integrity claims, DOJ misconduct allegations, debate over compensation for government weaponization, and a look at whether UFO disclosure could become the next all-purpose boogeyman.

Welcome To The Peasants Perspective

SPEAKER_21 0:42

Peasants, ma'am. We're just peasants. Every one of us. You watch those little movies. You see the peasants in the background with the kings and kings walking around, but we're those people. We're those people. Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. I think Ron's laughing at me. I had my face buried in the laptop the whole time, and right as the Q went up. Good morning. I was waiting to see what's going to happen. He's like, he might be too deep in thought over there. He might be. All right, Ferraser. It's a wonderful day in the Boise neighborhood today. Had a late start to meet a totally different group of people going to work. Oh, so are we not going to have you for the whole podcast? Darn. Or maybe we will. I don't know. We'll see. And you're the only one listening this morning. Oh man. We'll wait just a minute for you guys to pile on in here. We got a good little episode today. We're going to talk a little bit about communism, Ron.

SPEAKER_22 1:40

Oh no.

SPEAKER_21 1:40

Like communism, a little bit about jihad. We've got we've got some good topics today. John Attackis, good morning. And a sunrise emoji. Oh, that's fun. That's very good stuff. Good stuff.

Bitcoin Outlook And Long-Term Conviction

SPEAKER_21 1:52

So Bitcoin's been kind of flat this week. It's like up, it's down, it's up, it's down. But have you looked at like the three-month chart?

SPEAKER_22 1:59

No. Oh, it's pretty good.

SPEAKER_21 2:01

It's trending up. It's just doing its little I didn't really have to look.

SPEAKER_22 2:04

I just kind of knew, you know, looking at the overall, you know, looking at the past trends, knowing about the having future, knowing about, you know, SEC stuff.

SPEAKER_21 2:13

Clarity out. Yeah. Yeah. My wife and I were talking yesterday. She's like, you know, what's gonna happen with Bitcoin? And it's like, you know, I think every Bitcoiner has these conversations. And I'm I'm happy to be part of the club now, right? And I'm like, well, you know, there's some short-term things. And then she's like, does it feel like gambling? I'm like, this year, yeah, probably a little bit. Long term, no. I'm like, the real results are when you've held it for two or three years. That's when it's this like dynamite. Yeah. But uh, anyways, it is kind of interesting. We're strategizing on how to make things happen. It's a lot of fun. Lots of fun out there, you guys. All right, we'll go ahead and get started this morning with the simultaneous sip, but I do need one more second. Completely, huh? You need some sound. No, I got the sound, got the sound, so we're good there. I always forget in my little folder of videos here that I don't drag, I open. I can't forget that every time. All right, I know why you guys show up bright and early every morning. All of six of you for Razor, but I had my first auto purchase this week and there was no purchase charge.

SPEAKER_22 3:18

Ooh, that's slick. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_21 3:20

I'm so glad to hear my dad there is into Bitcoin. I'm like, there might be an inheritance.

SPEAKER_22 3:27

I know. I gave my dad the worst advice ever. What's that? He's like, well, I don't know about this Bitcoin technology. I'm like, yeah, you're probably too old. Don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_20 3:42

He's the one who should be putting everything into Bitcoin.

SPEAKER_21 3:45

I know. Sell everything. That's funny. If you're someone who does need a fixed return, Michael Say Sailor's fund is ETF, it's called uh Strive, I think it is. And uh they pay 11% dividends paid bi-weekly. So if you're looking at fixed income assets, that's I don't know that there's a better asset than for anybody that was hoping the stock market to go up 10%.

SPEAKER_22 4:11

I mean, this is doing better.

SPEAKER_21 4:13

Well, 10%, and then you have to sell. Right. Right? And so that's you just get paid the dividend. It's amazing. And you can get your money back, it's an equity fund. So you can just get your money back. It's all tax-free because it's an equity exchange. It's a it's absolutely amazing. Herleets, good morning, everyone. Going house hunting in Lake Conroe today. The podcast will keep Tiffany and I company on the 90-minute road trip. Ooh, and who's who knows? We might even keep it to 90 minutes today. We'll see. All right, I know why you guys are here. You're here for the simultaneous sip. And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or stein, a canteen, a jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip. And it starts right now.

SPEAKER_16 4:57

I have a joke for you.

SPEAKER_36 4:58

Okay.

SPEAKER_16 4:58

Well, this the government is excellent and uses your tax dollars efficiently.

SPEAKER_20 5:07

That might be my favorite little clip right there.

SPEAKER_21 5:13

All right.

Why Homeschooling Keeps Growing

SPEAKER_21 5:14

So we've got this little tidbit this morning. So, some information on homeschooling, Ron. Yeah. Homeschooling might save the world. This was posted by Senator Mike Lee, and I love it so much as a homeschool family myself. So in the 1970s, there were 13,000 homeschools.

SPEAKER_03 5:31

In the 70s, there was about 13,000 homeschoolers. In the 80s, there was 200,000 homeschoolers. The 90s, 850,000. 2000s, 1.5 million, 2010s, 1.7 million. And so far, four or five years into the 2020s, there's over 5 million homeschoolers, and that number is rising.

SPEAKER_21 5:52

Might save our nation. Yeah, so it's interesting. When I think when I think back at that, right, what was the benefit of public schools? Right, which which became pretty ubiquitous in the 1900s. But by the 1950s, you had the world you had great depression. So a lot of families went into survival mode. And any job you could get, you got. Yep. Then we led straight into World War II. Dad gets deployed or is working long hours at a factory, and mom starts working. Remember Rosie the Riveter?

SPEAKER_22 6:23

Well, a lot of those dads died too.

SPEAKER_21 6:25

So yeah, a lot of dads died. Proportionately, I mean, it was a big effect. Let's not downplay the death toll of World War II by any means. But just in general, the whole world was or the whole country was employed in the military-industrial complex to supply the war effort. And you had the rise of Rosie the Riveter. Yeah, right? Moms going into factories, filling in for different any work that they could do. And so post-World War II, you had a huge boon in productivity, and you started to have a wave of mass amounts of women in the workplace.

SPEAKER_30 6:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_21 6:57

And so this made school an easy place to not just double as an education center, but also a daycare. And then by the 1970s and 80s, what did we have? Latchkey kids. Do you remember the latchkey kids? Yeah. Lots, probably some of our listeners were latchkey kids. What were latchkey kids? They're kids who came home from school. School gets out at 3 p.m. Mom and Dad don't get off till five. So you're going home with your own key to the house. Yep. The latchkey kid. So by the time you roll around to the 2000s, obviously homeschooling is on the rise. Why is homeschooling on the rise? I don't. I couldn't even fathom a guess. It's an easy equation. It's take the amount of kids that were not served by public education and had a poor experience educationally, and they didn't want to pass it on to their kids. And then that starts to replicate and replicate. By the time you get to my generation, many of us were very dissatisfied with our public education. I didn't do homework. You know why? Because it was beneath me. It was too easy, right? I could get it done in class while the teacher was talking. I rarely did any kind of schoolwork outside of school because it wasn't challenging for me. I didn't study for tests and I got through school. Then I went to college. And guess what? Same thing. Two years I got my bachelor's degree. Why? It wasn't that challenging. Now, for some people, school can be very challenging, but for many, it's not. And I found public education to be, for me, pretty much a waste of time. I knew there had to be a better way to do it. So I met my wife and we decided we were going to homeschool our kids. And we've done it. We've never had our kids in public school. And it's interesting because in our generation group, that is the common thread that pulls all the homeschool parents together. What does the public school offer that we can't offer better and in less time, giving our kids extra time to do other things? And it's been amazing watching my kids grow up develop certain skills way beyond what they would have the time to do if they were in public school. And uh my son, right now, he's 14, almost 14, and he is taking a Harvard course, Ron. Oh, jeez. He is taking a Harvard biology course of his own choice. He's choosing to take it, and he's making us pay for it so he can get the certificate saying that he completed the college course. He wants to take the test. He was explaining mitochondria to me yesterday, and I was like, man, you know, I'm a polypsy guy. I'm having to like reach back to my biology 101 college class to understand what he's talking about. Pretty impressive. So homeschoolers really are uh, you know, they're something different than they were in the past. In the past, there was always this assumption they were either trouble kids that couldn't make it in school, needed real special attention, and they were usually referred to as socially awkward. But what I have found, at least with my family and the kids that they hang around with, that is not really the case. That is not really the case. All right, so that's kind of fun. I thought that was just a neat shout out to homeschool families across the country. If you're interested in homeschooling, there are gajillions of resources for you to do that. So if you're a parent out there, highly recommend it. It can change the future. One of the things I really appreciate about homeschooling, and one of the things my wife has said is in our house, the kids have to get along because they have to live together, go to school together, hang out together, play together. And that has been one of the things that I have appreciated so great about how my wife has raised the kids is they have to learn how to resolve conflict in the family. It makes us pretty tight. In fact, I ought I often think homeschooling is one of the reasons why the family stayed together and stayed so tight during the time that I was gone. Was you know, if the kids were off at school, they've got that influence, that zeitgeist that's at the public schools. And, you know, we're in a particularly poor public school district. We're in the North Kittsap school district. This is the school district that fired a football coach because he wanted to pray after football games when the lights went down and they fired him. This is uh Kennedy who had to go to the Supreme Court to have his rights vindicated. He moved, by the way. He moved to Florida. He bailed out of here. When's a good time to leave East Berlin before or after they build the wall? I

The Merchant Ship Shortfall Shock

SPEAKER_21 11:03

don't know. So um, what is his name? Pao is his name here. Uh he he ran for Senate. What is his name? I want to say it's Hung Pao. He ran for he ran for Senate or House in Georgia, but he was appointed by Donald Trump as Under Secretary of Defense. And he was giving it some testimony here. And one of the things he talked about was how America, being really a maritime country, we have an ocean on both sides. Um and how we are uh grossly, uh grossly underprepared when it comes to our own merchant ships. So this is excuse me, interesting um testimony from a hearing yesterday.

SPEAKER_13 11:44

We've been told earlier, hey, we're buying ships from overseas. We're not, we're we're looking at at whether or not those ships are are feasible to work in inside our formation. And then what we're doing is having those foreign shipyards invest in the United States. We're gonna create 540,000 jobs in order to get where we are right now in order to build ships. That includes pushing the supply chain and getting everything in in the United States in order to make this happen, sir. Uh again, it's not just about warships. We're talking about merchant ships as well. Right now in the United States, there's only there's only 188 flagged commercial commercial U.S. ships and 105 military sea level command ships. We need more than that. In fact, the Chinese right now have 11,000 merchant ships out there out there, and we are a we are a maritime nation that borders on the Atlantic and Pacific, and we require this in order to thrive as a nation, sir.

SPEAKER_21 12:35

I think there are so many things that have been neglected about our country over the last so many years. So the so the United States, there are only 188 U.S. flagged merchant ships and 105 Navy MCS sea lift ships. Ronald, why would the United States need to flag merchant ships?

SPEAKER_22 12:52

Well, I I I mean, we need merchant ships for trade, but 188? Yeah, are you sh is this serious? Yeah. 188 for the whole country.

SPEAKER_21 13:05

Every one of those ships that comes in out of the Puget Sound is not flagged in the United States, they're flagged in Hong Kong, Singapore.

SPEAKER_22 13:12

I guess we're just relying on all the other countries to perform the shipping duties.

SPEAKER_21 13:17

And they make the money.

SPEAKER_22 13:18

Yeah, what the heck? Isn't that a stunning thing? I am I'm super stunned. I'm like, geez, I I mean, I have seen a lot of hand gins and a lot of you know whatever coming through, but I just never thought about it, I guess. But 188. What?

SPEAKER_21 13:39

188 tankers. That's it. Tankers and and big cargo ships. Obviously, there's more than that when it comes to like fishing vessels and stuff like that, but that is a stunning number. 188.

SPEAKER_22 13:49

We had 400 plus boats in our little teeny fleet of fishing boats up there in Alaska.

SPEAKER_21 13:54

I mean they were just fishing boats, though.

SPEAKER_22 13:56

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But 188.

SPEAKER_21 13:59

I mean, it's that's such a small number. Wait, wait, the reason this is such a strategic threat to the United States is another country could say don't deliver there.

SPEAKER_22 14:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_21 14:11

It's that simple. Just don't deliver there. Yeah. And we're left with 188 boats to supply 350 million people with Chinese trinkets.

SPEAKER_22 14:18

I mean, just pretend that they're pol pizza delivery guys and they just decided to not come over with your pizza. I mean, what the heck?

SPEAKER_21 14:28

Well, it's a problem when you have Domino's delivering your pizza hut. You know, I mean, that's basically what's going on there.

SPEAKER_22 14:34

And if you go, hey, 30 minutes or it's free.

SPEAKER_21 14:37

Yeah. The other thing, too, is it creates a jurisdictional problem, right? Any U.S. flagship can be inspected by the Coast Guard. It's less likely to have like human trafficking people stuffed inside of conics or drugs. But these other ships, there's no jurisdiction until they enter our ports. And by then it's it's off to the races to unload and stuff like that. In fact, did I do you remember when I was in prison? I was talking with the one guy who was the Polynesian drug cartel leader, or he and his brother ran a Polynesian drug cartel, and they would run drugs from, you know, they were doing the the Pacific Triangle, Hawaii, California to the Polynesian Islands. And they would they had these big tanker vessels, and they owned them, and they would stuff a connex full of cocaine or whatever, and then drop it off in San Francisco. And they were this is all allegedly, according to him, right? You know, he listened a prison story, but allegedly they were paying off a certain young lady prosecutor in San Francisco to look the other way and kind of run cover. And then eventually that young prosecutor became the attorney general of California, and they continued to pay her to look the other way. And you guys probably know who I'm talking about. I know who you're talking about. Cackling Harris is who they were paying. Anyways, and uh when she went on to Senate, she no longer could run the same cover, and they started to look for someone else to pay. Anyways, the brother went out and bought another ship, and the ship happened to be a flagged US ship. And so when they were making their delivery, the Coast Guard was listening in on their comms and ended up boarding the vessel and finding 88 tons of cocaine. You know, I would ask, I would be really brazen and I would ask, I would ask people, so what how'd you get caught? What happened? And they'd say, Oh, I had you know three ounces of meth, or I had like the the most I'd heard was somebody said he had 22 kilos of coke. I was like, okay, well, that's like 50 pounds of coke, right? It's like it's a lot of coke, but it's not 50 pounds, it's a back, it's a backpack of coke. 88 88 tons. I was like, Are you talking like 180,000 pounds? I don't even I didn't even do the math right. I just had to like double the number, you know. It's like he's like, yeah, and we were running a little light, the container wasn't full. And I was like, oh my gosh, it's crazy. Anyways, so yeah, big deal. We'd like to have way more merchant ships, and that's a lot of jobs. Carlito and Tiffany says, Good morning, family. Yes, we are family, we are all peasants. Carlito and Tiffany also said, Homeschooling trends are amazing. Let's teach, mentor, and take care of our own kids. Absolutely. Centini, good morning. Been making cinnamon rolls and missed the start today. Oh, you didn't miss it by too far, but we're glad you made it. Okay.

Climate Panic As A Money Machine

SPEAKER_21 17:17

Last yesterday, David Gutfeld gave a great little critique on climate change and how all of a sudden they're backing off the climate change narrative. And I want to share this with you, and then I want to talk a little bit about the Hegelian dialectic and how the climate change narrative played into the bigger world agenda that has been leading us for the last uh 30 years, give or take, and how it's kind of crumbling right before us.

SPEAKER_32 17:41

After decades of screaming that the planet is six minutes away from extinction, the UN-backed climate change panel just rescinded its doomsday predictions. Turns out the so-called model they used for years, which projected massive sea level rises, global crop failures, and rapid melting of glaciers was about as authentic as Ilhan Omar's marriage. True. But 99% of scientists who once claimed the debate was over changed their minds. And why not? Hell, climate change hasn't even killed Keith Richards. And if you hate polar bears, I got bad news. The only thing endangering them is RFK Jr.'s appetite. So America's fine, except, of course, we're poorer for it. Because we paid for the fake fear by the billions. So where did it go? We can see where most fraud is now: California, Minneapolis, Ohio. But what about this? Who got paid? Was it all the people who told us that by 2025 Miami would be Atlantis, children would bike to school in scuba gear, and Irish people would burst into flames at the beach? Al Gore got rich predicting the earth would become a rotisserie chicken by now. But where is he now? Talk about extinct. The last time I saw him, I had a soul patch. Those were the days. In reality, climate hysteria has been the greatest white-collar scam since Columbia House offered me 12 CDs for a penny. NGOs, consultants, green energy middlemen, carbon credit traders, university departments, activists flying private to save the planet. Everybody got paid. Meanwhile, birds and whales get slaughtered by windmills. Fields are covered in solar panels, and we're forced to use paper straws as limp as my wrist during Pride Month. And our pockets were getting picked throughout. Remember the Inflation Reduction Act? The most misleading name since Magic Johnson. Nothing magical about that. They told us it was about lowering costs and helping families and fighting inflation when it was really about funneling billions into a massive scam. And no surprise, it caused inflation to shoot up like Nikki Six in a backstage porta potty. What a surprise. The thing that Democrats named to fix a problem made the problem worse. And when it was too late to do anything about it, old Joe admitted the con.

SPEAKER_00 20:32

I'm proud to announce that my uh my investments, that's through my investments, the most significant climate change law ever. And by the way, it is a $369 billion bill. It's called named it what it was.

SPEAKER_32 20:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_28 20:52

It should have.

SPEAKER_32 20:55

But you didn't. You called a $400 billion slush fund for climate hucksterism and inflation bill. So you could get away with it. And if you were questioned about it, then you were called a Nazi. Which is why this UN reversal matters. Because it was never about morality, it was about money. They used fear of an imaginary problem to take your money and control everything in your life. Your gas stove, pickup truck, burger. Ever notice how the things they targeted the most are things uniquely American? I'm surprised I didn't make the list. Meanwhile, they had kids so scared that young people who started out looking like this suddenly started looking like this. A massive survey of 16 to 25 year olds found that more than 50% reported feeling anxiety, helplessness, and guilt over climate change. It's the kind that affects their daily functioning. It's so bad I no longer hire them to walk on my back. So the UN is backing off after calling you a climate denier. As if questioning the faulty models is like denying the Holocaust. But no big apology, no refund check, no our bad. Because in the end, they got what they wanted. The motive wasn't the environment, it was greed. The instrument was fear. Once panic becomes an industry, there's no incentive to calm people down. That's why every Dem Crisis now comes with a consultant, a nonprofit, a celebrity telethon, and a 900-page spending bill. Every apocalypse is a business model. And for the climate change scammers, no business had been hotter than the end of the world.

SPEAKER_21 22:35

All right. Every apocalypse is a business model.

Hegelian Dialectic Explained Simply

SPEAKER_21 22:40

Pretty much. So this kind of comes back to something. I remember back when we had season one, back in 2000, I get an episode talking about the Hegelian dialectic and how politics becomes a bird going one direction with two wings, and you need these opposing forces of each wing in order to get the bird to go where you need. And that is, in essence, the way I would describe the Hegelian dialectic. So the Hegelian dialectic comes from George Wilhelm Friedrich Heigel, which creates the Hegelian dialectic. And he was a German philosopher, and he's old. I mean, we're talking like 1770 to 1831 is when he lived. So this is way back in the day. Um Dennis Prater says every bad idea came out of Germany. He might be right. Carlitz, before we talk more about this, he says we used to interview and board foreign-flagged vessels in Houston, Galveston, and Texas City. He used to work for the Coast Guard, by the way. This has been a problem for at least 10 to 20 years. Lots of drugs, human smuggling, and some weapons. Yeah, and you barely interview or catch all the ships. There's 11,000 of these foreign flagged ships just from China alone. And a lot of them are coming in and out of our ports. And who knows where they stopped before. Okay, so Frederick Heigel creates the Hegelian dialectic. He didn't create it, it was a philosophy. He just wrote about it and kind of described. And it's this idea that you have a thesis. This is an initial idea, a state or a concept. Okay. And then once you have this thing that you want or this principle, then there's an antithis. This is the contradiction or negation that arises from it. These are the counterarguments to it. And so what happens is everybody now becomes engaged in the debate. You have the problem and you have you have the or you have the crisis and then you have the problem that causes the crisis. Does that make sense? And so between these two things, the wings start to flap. Now everybody is engaged in it. You have the people who shout out about the problem and you the crisis, and you have the people who start shouting about what the solution is, and now the debate is on. The wings are now flapping. And then eventually what happens is you get to synthesis. This is where now the problem and the crisis are the problem, the crisis is the problem. And then you've got the solutions to the problem, which then creates negation, and you have the argument. Now the wings are flapping. Then eventually what you have is you come to the synthesis. This is where now the problem, the crisis is now the norm. It's now the accepted premise. And now the debate changes to okay, the next crisis, which is the unsolved problem of the premise that we started when the wings started flapping in the first place. Okay. So the world needs a bad guy. Every crisis is a scam, right? And so what happened was as time went on, people like Karl Marx in the late 1800s grabbed onto this Hegelian dialectic and they kind of flipped it on its head. He goes, Hey, this thing that happens naturally as a crisis arises, and now everybody gets involved. And this is how you solve problems. This is how society continues to progress. He goes, We can kind of flip it on its head and we can now determine what the crisis is and set the direction. So they don't have to arise naturally. We can now declare it. So, for example, when Karl Marx looked across the landscape in the in the world, he saw monarchies and he saw imperialists like the czar in Russia, and he said, That's a problem. They're oppressing the small people, the peasants. And then so what's the solution? Well, let's put the peasants in charge. Let's flip it upon its head, right? Now everybody's engaged in this conversation about the rights of the slave, the rights of the peasant, the rights of the subject, and things get marching. Now, this is a natural thing that can happen. Hegel wasn't wrong saying that, yeah, when you reach a crisis point, when the French uh queen says the peasants have no bread, and she goes, Well, let them eat cake. There's you got your crisis, there's your solution. And then, well, cake, that's not good enough for us. We don't want cake, we want bread, we want jobs, we want whatever. And next thing you know, French Revolution. It all gets going there. So that's but but what Karl Marx did was he said, people can instigate the crisis.

SPEAKER_22 26:42

This is the step forward. This is the part where it's a solution looking for a problem.

SPEAKER_21 26:46

This is a solution looking for a problem, exactly. We can instigate the crisis, and climate change is one of those things. Climate change was born of the fact that we ran out of enemies to fight in 1991 when the Berlin Wall fell, right? When the Berlin Wall fell, we we fought Nazis. Then, well, first of all, we fought greedy uh corporatists, right? This is the trustbusters, the progressive era, Teddy Roosevelt. And then that leads to, okay, well, since we're trust busting and we're getting rid of corporate greed, let's consolidate the corporate greed into something called the Federal Reserve, right? And then that creates the Great Depression, and then the enemy is still fat profit-mongering corporatists who won't hire people during the Great Depression, and then we get the solution of socialism. It's the perfect, it's the perfect transition there. Then we get the solution of socialism under FDR, and we end up having half of the country or more employed by Great New Deal acts and things like that, which creates dependency on the socialist system, and then we energize that entire system to go fight the Nazis, which is just a competing form of socialism. Okay? It's a competing form of socialism. And so we go fight the Nazis, we defeat the Nazis, discover the nuclear weapon, and realize we're on top. So who becomes the big bad guy at this point? The next greatest power, which is Russia, right? And once Russia gets a nuclear weapon, now we're in detente. We eventually lead to the 80s where we have ABC, which is anything but communists, and we start supporting all kinds of dictatorships around the world, as long as they're not communist. But eventually the communists are defeated with remnants left in China and Cuba. At that point, a new world order is born, but you need an enemy. You need an enemy. People like John F. K tried to use this same method with things like the space race. Let's redirect this energy to a positive objective, not something we're fighting, but something we're striving for. Does that make sense? He died. So that that ended that pretty quick. So after in the 1990s, we developed a new enemy. And this had been brewing since the 1960s and 1970s. It's this idea of catastrophe, right? Climate change, whether it was climate warming or global cooling, things like running out of oil, and then by using what oil we do have, we're destroying the planet. This became this big bag boogeyman that the whole world could fight against. And so then you start to arise with the just as you develops, you have the antithesis. You have, well, maybe the climate's not changing. Thank you for talking about it. Thank you for talking about it. Because now we can get the wings flapping. Because now we can get these wings flapping, right? Okay, well, will you concede that the ocean rose a millimeter? Well, I guess. Well, I don't know. Okay, well, map out that trajectory and the debate is on. Map out that trajectory. Will you agree that the that the Dust Bowl is over and that the climate has changed? Well, yeah, we we can see that statistically. Well, that's because of all the pollutants we put into the air. Okay, so what's the solution? Let's stop putting pollutants in the air. Well, how would we do that? I don't know. Let's give some money to some company to figure out something, and now the spending's on, right? To fight the thing. So that is what the world has been doing.

SPEAKER_22 30:06

And then we start paying scientists to tell us exactly what we want them to tell us.

SPEAKER_21 30:11

Yes. For the last 30 years, the big bad boogeyman has been the weather. It has been climate change. And the debate is on what is our impact on it or not. So notice how over the course of our lifetimes, the debate was conceded that climate change is or isn't happening. Now it's a given. That's baked into the equation now. Now the debate is on what can we do and what's our role in it. Now, nobody likes pollution. Okay. Pollution is pollution. The Genghis River, disgusting. Okay. Just plain and simple. Putting a big industrial factory right next to uh, you know, the Great Lakes that's dumping sewage and industrial waste into the Great Lakes, not so good. But those are small little things that can be fixed. But when we're talking about the global climate, we very much overemphasize our role on the planet, I would say. Right. And so nonetheless, it has been a giant grift. We have printed money, we have thrown money at these problems, and what do we get for it, Ron? Nothing. Nothing. We've been spending money on climate change for 30 years. And at this point, we have windmill farms killing birds, killing wells. We have solar panels polluting the planet and never getting the energy back from them that we spent to create them.

SPEAKER_22 31:29

We still got Florida. The sea levels didn't come up.

SPEAKER_21 31:32

Yeah, it's CBS News in 1995 said by 2025, Miami would be underwater. Turns out she's not, right? And so that is the Hegelian dialectic that we get all talking about one single problem, and then they can move the issue forward. Another thing that the Hegelian dialectic has led to on a more local level is even small cities and states and small governments have been hyper-focused on things like healthcare, right? Healthcare has been a big thing. We got to take care of everybody. We got to take care of everybody. Well, the entire idea of being a citizen of a nation state is you're a member of a team and you pay into that team in order to get benefits. You work for the team, you pay taxes, right? You have certain duties and obligations as a citizen. And in return, there's some type of social safety net offered, national security and stuff like that. But what's been happening is that conversation about the back and forth, what it what you owe to your nation to get back from your nation. Remember, JFK tried to flip this. Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. He tried to redirect how we were thinking about this, that we're all playing on a team rather than that these kings owe you something. Right. Right. That's the way the Democrats want to want to position it to the little guys. We owe you something. Whereas the more conservative side goes, no, we owe the nation something because of our common shared blessing and benefit of living here and the safety and the jobs and the economy we create, et cetera, et cetera.

SPEAKER_22 33:06

Well, also because people that came before us paid it forward for real. I mean, they paid with their lives.

SPEAKER_21 33:13

Paid with their lives, yeah.

SPEAKER_22 33:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_21 33:15

And passed their fortunes forward, really. And we have we have consistently instituted programs that think in the moment, right? We've we've become uh what is it? Elon Musk tweeted out a book. It was like the death by empathy or something like that. I can't remember what it was. It was basically talking about how your virtue gets weaponized against you, your empathy gets weaponized against you. And one of the things, along with this bigger conversation of the Hegelian dialectic, is this idea that in an abundant country, everybody should be able to be provided with healthcare. Ron, I don't disagree with the premise necessarily. I think healthcare should be available. I think the free market makes it available. I think if I pay into the system, that the system will provide affordable health care and possibly even a safe social safety net for when we fall on genuine hard times and we're in the process of picking ourselves up by the bootstrap again. However, because of the money involved and because of the weaponized empathy, those benefits have been extended to people that haven't paid into the system and owe no allegiance to the system. They become total freeloaders. And unfortunately, what that creates is a worldwide magnet for people whose nations don't offer those same benefits to come here and reap the rewards without doing the time, without paying into

Healthcare Benefits And Weaponized Empathy

SPEAKER_21 34:33

the system. So in Nashville, they've got this crisis brewing because they have a fairly sizable population of people that are on government assistance and government services. And what's happening is the federal government is starting to cut off funds being made available to non-citizens, people who are not paying into the system and not here ill legally. However, and then the states have passed that on, right? So now Tennessee is in a position where they're like, hey, we will not get government funding if we continue to give this money to individuals that are not citizens and are not legally allowed to be here. These state, these local cities and local states have taken that federal money and we know the amount of grift. We're going to cover a couple stories of the grift and graft involved with this, even here locally in Washington state. That money gets kind of part of the bureaucracy and a small portion goes to the services. Now the people who receive the services become dependent on it. But what happens is for every dollar some kid or somebody who's using one of these social services is receiving, there might be $10 that's being lost to the bureaucracy and the grift. You see what I'm saying? So all of a sudden, when you lose the ability to give the dollar to the kid, you also lose the $10 inside the system. So this is happening in Nashville. And of course, in classic Hegelian faction fashion, they're trying to create a crisis out of this to try to create another twist of things to try to push back and offer these benefits to illegals.

SPEAKER_12 36:05

It's a it's a huge threat to life for kids with significant disabilities for families that can't afford to support their kids.

SPEAKER_23 36:14

Last fall, Metro's Board of Health for Nashville and Davidson County says they received a notice from the Tennessee Department of Health saying they would need to verify the citizenship status of everyone enrolled in a public benefit program. That includes Children's Special Services or CSS, which provides access to care for children with physical disabilities from birth to 21 years of age.

SPEAKER_43 36:44

And um there's conversation around disenrolling kids to 17.

SPEAKER_21 36:50

According to Metro's Board of Health, I just want to pause for a second. The guy that's dishing out the money that's part of this. Did you notice anything about what does it I noticed? I noticed something. Is that Creole? What is that is that like I was having a hard time understanding it? Is that southern Florida? Where's that accent from? Is that is that is that a Merca accent? Or is that a second language? This English is my second language accent. Very interesting, isn't it? Very interesting.

SPEAKER_23 37:22

Adult applicants who can't verify their status would be disenrolled by May 29th. This comes after the Tennessee General Assembly passed a law requiring all applicants for public benefits ages 18 and older to verify they are in the U.S. legally. It's unknown at this time whether children 17 and younger will be disenrolled from the program.

SPEAKER_12 37:46

It's complicated because of um federal and state weaving of funding, which was meant um to be able to sustain funding for kids um with special health care needs.

SPEAKER_23 37:57

According to Metro Board of Health employee Deanna Allen Robb, some families anticipating to be disenrolled include a child with congenital heart anomaly, where life expectancy is less than 12 months without treatment, and children with cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma, where life expectancy is less than five years without treatment.

SPEAKER_37 38:18

We are marshalling all the resources that we can, what is available, and sharing information with families about where there may be other places that they could go if they need to get life-saving care for their child. What are they talking about?

SPEAKER_22 38:34

I don't know, but let's break this down.

SPEAKER_21 38:37

I I as peasants, we have to see through this nonsense, right? Sometimes we play these clips and they fit nice in and they get to use their words instead of my words and explain a story. But this is one of those ones where you're going, okay, hold on. I what's the problem here? Okay. The funding is being cut off for people 18 or older.

SPEAKER_22 38:58

So there's the part where I was like, hold on, what?

SPEAKER_21 39:01

So there's no lack of funding for people 18 and under. So the system in the state of Tennessee and the federal government is still allowing money to go to minors that may or may not be here illegally. Okay. So this that's the way it's being written. So obviously, if you're 18 or older, you can't apply for these funds where you could before. Okay.

SPEAKER_22 39:25

So which is mind-blowing.

SPEAKER_21 39:28

So but they're but they're over here going, we're advising people on where they can get services. They're tying in a story about kids and the potential for them not to get funding, but that's not the problem that's happening here. So this blade last lady, this black lady saying, Well, we're advising people on what who are you advising?

SPEAKER_22 39:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_21 39:49

If it's American citizen, this doesn't even affect you. Business as usual. So your constituency, the people that that NGO that that she represents is advising is who? Adults that shouldn't be here. Adults over yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But yet this story was focusing on what? Kids. Well, that's because that's where the hooks are. That's the hook. That's the crisis. Do you see your river and how it's so dirty? That's because of climate change. Do you see how we had a super hot summer this summer and it was a drought? That's because of that factory. Do you see how those kids have services? Oh, okay. Well, their parents don't. And the problem? Do you see what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_22 40:38

Well, the problem is that the kids might get hurt.

SPEAKER_21 40:41

The kids might get hurt. Okay.

SPEAKER_22 40:43

So we gotta get the parents on the coverage.

SPEAKER_21 40:46

It makes no sense.

SPEAKER_22 40:47

It doesn't make no sense.

SPEAKER_21 40:48

But now we're talking about providing services for kids, but we're going to have a solution that provides them for everybody. Do you see what I'm saying? Like it's it is one of these the wings are now flapping. The story makes no sense when you actually break it down. Who are they concerned about? You're listening to these board members talking, and it's like, okay, so why don't you say out in the open, you're trying to provide services for adults? There's no lack for the kids, but the story starts out with the premise that the kids are at risk. Are they? Are they very interesting?

SPEAKER_22 41:26

Very, very interesting. You know, the fact that they have to do a verification at all should tell you something about this. Yeah, you would think so. Okay.

Climate Refugees And NGO Incentives

SPEAKER_21 41:44

Now, along with climate change, one of the other things that climate change brought us was mass migration. Do you know how mass migration ties in with climate change?

SPEAKER_22 41:55

Well, yeah. I mean, they gotta blow a bunch of carbon up in the air to get here, right?

SPEAKER_21 42:01

Yeah, no kidding, right? The migration itself is causing climate change. Here's why, right? One of the justifications for mass migration was populations need to flee areas that are being affected by catastrophic climate change. So sub-Saharan Africa, uh, the Middle East, South America, anywhere you can point to anywhere on the map and you can make some claim that that area is being affected by climate change.

SPEAKER_22 42:26

There's no nexus, it's just a claim.

SPEAKER_21 42:29

Yeah, and there's no evidence that there's climate change.

SPEAKER_22 42:33

That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_21 42:33

There's no nexus. Okay, but here's the thing climate change opened the spigots, right? Because it's the big bag boogeyman that we need to throw money at to try to fix all the problems it causes. So, under that umbrella of climate change, you literally have NGOs being funded to help move those impacted by climate change. And so, a big source, this turns out, this comes from Data Republican. She did some research on this. Ever wonder why European cities accepted so many refugees? Um, she says the refugee influx into Europe began as a U.S. taxpayer subsidy. The US government literally paid European cities to take them in using Soros-backed operations like ARC, the American Refugee Committee, as the middleman, taking people from countries that are, for the most part, just lower socioeconomic countries in the process of development, claiming that there's a crisis emergency, which then justifies relocating refugees of what? If you're a refugee coming out of Ivory Coast or a refugee, there's a lot of countries that had refugees coming that are not at war. I mean, yeah, there's some Syrian refugees, but those mostly ended up in camps, right? Why are we taking refugees from Pakistan? Allegedly a modernized nation with nuclear weapons, right? Why why are why are so many Pakistanis living in England? Okay. Turns out a lot of this was coming from these government programs. So she has this little status here. She goes, um, you know, she's she basically talks about the funding for ARC. It came from Soros. And here's a whole bunch of the in in NGOs that are funded by ARC. And then where was ARC getting its funding? And Soros, mostly from the US government. Right? Soros would put a million dollars into some upstart NGO that was focused on some relief program. And then the government would then put 10 times that amount of money in those NGOs and they would go off and do this refugee. So the refugee crisis, both in the United States and in Europe, is ultimately funded by the government using what kind of money? Climate change money, right? Because we conceded the premise and we started on the debate, and then we start talking about what are the solutions. Well, let's relocate these climate change refugees. That's science. It's science. Yeah. Science.

SPEAKER_22 44:52

You know, when you're doing science, you have to start out with assumptions. And most of those assumptions make it so that it's not real.

SPEAKER_21 44:59

Yeah. Now, along with that, a lot of these migrants that are being paid to come, a lot of them are from communist countries or socialist countries, if it's South American. And a lot of them coming over from Africa are coming and from the Middle East that are making it here and oftentimes paid for by these funds.

Jihad, Mosques, And Local Politics

SPEAKER_21 45:17

They're Muslim. Okay. And so now you've imported a large Muslim population. Down in Texas, my good friend, Lieutenant Colonel Larry Brock. This is someone that I served time with in prison in Springfield, Missouri. That's where I met this gentleman right here, Larry Brock. And he and I walked hundreds of miles together on the track together. He has a political science degree with an international study minor, same degree as I do. Whoa. He, however, took his ROTC and actually went to the Air Force. I turned down the opportunity to become an officer. And so I went and lived the peasant life with the rest of you guys, and he went off and flew A-10 Warthogs and stuff like that. Awesome. Well, obviously he protested the stolen election, which is going to tie in later because a lot of these problems aren't being solved at the fountain head, which is our elected leaders who are allowing this stuff to continue on, right? But we're at the we're at the tipping point in Texas in some of these communities where they're where the Muslim population is setting up an entire city, epic city. They're setting up a lot of mosques and things like that. And those mosques, what you're finding, is being paid for by government dollars that are being funneled through the social service programs that are being taken advantage of, right? The bureaucrats are now involved in it. They're getting kickbacks. And so Larry Brock went to a city council meeting to offer testimony against why we should allow these places to open up. And he even addresses some of the discussion about, well, we have to allow freedom of religion or freedom of speech or whatever in order to allow these. But he points out that this is way bigger than that. So this is Larry Brock. This is a January Sixer guy. Guys, when we talk about January Sixers, and you hear people later in the show will hear some people talking about, well, not the ones who were convicted of violent assault and punched cops and stuff like that. Dude, it's like a small minority of the total January Sixers. And most of those have very good justifications for why they punched a cop. Okay.

SPEAKER_09 47:15

All right. Uh good evening. My name is uh retired Lieutenant Colonel Larry Brock, and I've served this nation for 29 years. 13 as an A-10 warthog pilot, four as a reconnaissance pilot, and I lived under Sharia in Saudi Arabia for seven years, where I provided information to the U.S. government. In short, I have fought Islam and the jihad my entire adult life.

SPEAKER_21 47:35

Now, I want to point something out to you. I often talk about my quote-unquote Al-Qaeda friend in prison. So I don't know how tight his bonds with Al-Qaeda were, but that was in his files. He's an Al-Qaeda terrorist. He had a 40-year sentence for terrorism. Okay. Okay. When Larry Brock got out of the hole, he was put into the hole, the solitary confinement, for four months in Springfield because he sent an email to a J6 supporter saying, Tell other J6ers to be good inmates, follow the rules, be a pillar of example of an inmate. Don't get into trouble, don't get into fights. They put him in the hole for sending that email because he was passing messages. Oh, jeez. Okay. They put him in the hole because he was passing messages. He wouldn't back down, he wouldn't recant it, he wouldn't apologize for it. So they stayed in the hole. And when he finally got out, after four months of being in solitary confinement, they bunked him on the same bunk bed with an Al-Qaeda terrorist. A guy who spent his whole life fighting and killing Al-Qaeda. I believe his confirmed kill count is like 210 Al-Qaeda terrorists from an A10 Warhawker.

SPEAKER_22 48:44

That's pretty rude.

SPEAKER_21 48:45

Yeah, pretty rude. He considered it attempted murder. He threw a pretty big stink about it. Now, I ended up kind of befriending Nair, uh Nair uh Nasir. What was his first name? Uh it'll come to me later. Anyways, I ended up kind of befriending him, started playing trivia with him. And I don't know that he was so much a threat to Larry Brock's life, but clearly the Bureau of Prisons was trying to set something up. No doubt about it. You would never house those two different races together, alone on the same bunk. Right.

SPEAKER_09 49:17

So, you know, study military history extensively. Many of you may not know this, but the SS also had a worldview. They believe that God gave the Germans the world to rule, and they also gave them a leader. Islam believes the exact same thing. The world is theirs to rule, and they were given the Prophet Muhammad. During World War II, we would not have allowed the SS to build a recruiting center in supply and weapons depot, nor should we allow Islam to build the same here in the United States. How do I know they will do it? I've seen it too many times in my time in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now I fully understand that many of you believe that this building of a mosque is protected by the First Amendment. I believe if you approve this mosque, you're putting yourself, the council, and the city at risk of violating 18 USC 2339A and 2339B by aiding and abetting a terrorist organization and providing them material support. Just this past weekend, we learned that Mark Hill, a mayoral candidate, is backed by Faisal Saed, who is a leader of the terrorist organization CARE. Are you absolutely certain that no financial money came to purchase this land or involved in the construction of this mosque came from CARE or the Muslim Brotherhood, which our governor has designated as terrorist organizations? Even if you were certain, I would ask all of you to consider whether you want your wives and daughters to be forced to wear burkas. If you want your daughters subject to Muslim grooming and rape gangs, this is the fruit of Islam. This is the result of putting mosques in Christian cities. Are you willing to stand up to this political hostile ideology and say to them there is a price we will not pay? There is a point beyond which you must not go. Great forces are on the move here. And with this decision, you will decide whether or not Frisco will be remembered as the city that stood up and turned the tide on the Muslim invasion, or will you choose the path of appeasement and pass to other Americans the honor of firing the first volley against this religion? Now, I truly want, and I believe you do as as well, to see this issue solved with ballots and not bullets. You must vote down this mosque. This is a vote that will define your time on this city council. All right. I am hopeful that you will use this opportunity to strike a blow for our faith, for our nation against this enemy ideology that wishes to see our republic destroyed, our churches burned, our mothers, wives, and daughters enslaved, and to see the light of freedom extinguished by Muhammadan darkness. God bless you.

SPEAKER_21 52:09

All right, uh good evening. Pretty good. Pretty good, Mr. Larry Brock. Lit a fire. Yeah, seriously. But he's not wrong there, right? Nope. This invasion has been funded, and it's under the guise then with stuff like this of allowing freedom of religion, freedom of expression. Listen, I'll fight for your right to have freedom of religion and expression all you want, but that doesn't mean we should allow a terrorist organization to fund your gathering center, which time and time again have been proven to be what? Safe havens for terror cells.

SPEAKER_22 52:40

And let's not state fund it either.

SPEAKER_21 52:42

Let's not state fund it either. And this is happening all over. I mean, we played a clip a couple weeks back, a month or two back, about mosques in in Utah, like and how they're they're having these record conversions from people, right? This is this is an ideology that believes that they own the earth and they just have to take it from you, and they'll use any means necessary. At first, it starts out with weaponizing your virtue, then it starts out with being a little bit of a bully, like what you're seeing over in in Britain. You know, they they coalesce around themselves. You've got grooming games, they pay off the politicians, they scare the politicians into pretending.

SPEAKER_22 53:14

Next thing you know, it's gang rape and throwing gay guys off roofs.

SPEAKER_21 53:18

And next thing you know, they're running the city of London. Next thing you know, they run in the city of New York, and you know, away we go. It's that red-green alliance, right? The red is just focused on destroying the state as it is, and the green is like, yeah, we're gonna support you in doing that, and you're gonna give us the right to move in here, weaponizing the virtue of the Christians against themselves to open the door to us, and then next thing you know, as soon as they get a majority, it's over quick. And how many times has this been proven in the last 900 years? Over and over and over again. Right? It's an ex it's an anyways, Hegelian dialectic, right? Hegelian dialectic cause the problem, cause the crisis, emphasize the crisis, and then we debate over the solutions, but eventually we're moving towards the direction of fixing the crisis because we all concede the premise. Okay, now continuing on with government money and how it gets funneled into weird places.

Seattle Grant Fraud And Oversight Failure

SPEAKER_21 54:16

Seattle. Seattle has a little bit of a money crisis on its hands. So check this out.

SPEAKER_01 54:21

This morning's Waste Watch report, we now know law enforcement is looking at allegations of fraud from grant funding in King County. An audit found a serious lack of oversight for money given to youth and community organizations over the last five years. Here's comes Jeremy Harris with why one county council member believes more county contracts should be investigated.

SPEAKER_19 54:43

Auditors found one problem after the next with financial reporting from county grant recipients, potentially altered documents, conflicts of interest, and more. Cash being run through personal bank accounts, alcohol, car repairs, airfare, general life expenses is one of the categories that was listed in this audit. When you saw that, what was your reaction?

SPEAKER_27 55:05

I hate it when I'm right, and I I really knew that where there's smoke, there's fire. I said that to you before.

SPEAKER_19 55:11

County Councilmember Reagan Dunn says this review of 19 grant contracts from the King County Department of Community and Human Services is the tip of the iceberg.

SPEAKER_27 55:20

Taxpayers should be concerned and maybe even a little bit angry. There's a lot of work we need to do in terms of creating curves or guardrails within the system. Our ethics code, um, our auditing system, the number of grants we have. We have about the same number of grants as LA County, which is five times the size of King County. That's too many grants for us to monitor, especially with folks that don't have the experience doing it.

SPEAKER_19 55:41

Concerns about the county's grants surfaced a year ago when a separate audit flagged serious gaps in documentation from grant recipients. That audit noting a spike in funding going from $922 million in 2020 to $1.8 billion in 2024. Double. In four years, they doubled the supplies for this for these grants. The speed of that growth was blamed for gaps in the accounting of where all the money was going. The county council ordered DCHS to mandate stronger protections. Wait, so the problem is we have too much money?

SPEAKER_21 56:17

I thought Katie Wilson said we didn't have enough money. The problem is we have too much money, Ron.

SPEAKER_19 56:24

That's the problem, including training for nonprofits on how to manage the money. Do you see anything in here that you think needs to be reviewed by law enforcement?

SPEAKER_27 56:36

Yeah, there's a number of things that must be reviewed by law enforcement. I challenge our prosecutor and our sheriff to follow up on these recommendations and uh keep us posted on what they find.

SPEAKER_21 56:47

Jeremy Harris, Como News. Man, you'd think with double the funding for these at for these programs for at-risk youth, we wouldn't have an at-risk youth problem. But didn't just last week we have a shooting on Broadway and Pike with some three young youth in Seattle?

SPEAKER_22 57:04

Yeah, we've had one since then, too. So I don't know.

SPEAKER_21 57:07

But I thought we had all this money. I thought we couldn't pay out the $30 million settlement to the to the kids that were murdered in Chaz Chop because we don't have enough money. But apparently the problem, Ron, is that we have so much money that it's easy for it to be embezzled. That's the real problem here. But thank you. There's some promising signs. There's some promising signs, Ron. Oh my goodness. So we just throw money at all these problems, and then we're surprised when we have a problem with how much money we've thrown at these problems. You've got so much money to throw at climate change. We're surprised when George Soros uses it to relocate people around the world and cause domestic strife.

Seattle Drugs And Foster Parent Rights

SPEAKER_21 57:51

Really? It really now it gets even worse because here's the mayor of Seattle who this week directed officers not to arrest drug open air drug users. Okay. Now, we had a mayor who wouldn't arrest open air drug users. Then we had a mayor who was like, okay, you can't use drugs in open air areas. You have to go to these tiny houses that we're going to give you for housing under the guise of housing the homeless, and you can use the drugs in there. And we saw the clips of that. Well, now those tiny houses are all full, and so we've got drug users spilling out back onto the streets. So instead of arresting them or doing anything about them because it's, you know, against the law to use heroin, we're now just going to say, nah, don't arrest them. Tony Boy says, good morning. Was that my daughter's elementary graduation? Good morning, glad you mean it. Okay. So here's Mayor Wilson.

SPEAKER_34 58:50

I had the honor of being noticed by the president of the United States. Who called me a very, very liberal slash communist mayor. It's nice to feel seen. That's all I'm gonna say about that. And earlier this month, we launched our transition team. I had the honor. That's not the right clip.

SPEAKER_21 59:23

Either way, that's what you're watching there. That's how that's how communists deal with that.

SPEAKER_22 59:27

It feels like we have a teenager for a mayor.

SPEAKER_21 59:29

I know, right? It's it's our elections have problems wrong. I don't think people in Seattle think this way. Right? I just don't think people in Seattle think this way. In another victory in Washington State, a family who was denied a license or their license was revoked for foster care, they won a lawsuit and a permanent injunction. And what this stems over is they were given a foster care kid that chose to be transgender, probably with a lot of encouragement from social workers and the school, and they refused to acknowledge the new pronouns and the new name and all that kind of stuff. Well, they ended up going to court. Turns out they did win, and the Department of Children, the Department of Children, Youth, and Families, DCYF, is prohibited under the agreement. So now this is baked into it, denying foster care families license applications or license foster parents seeking renewal over their license, a full license consistent with the request of the applicant licensee or attaching any conditions or restrictions to the license solely because of their religious beliefs, including speech and actions pertaining to marriage, gender, or sexual relationships. So the parents that are the, in my opinion, the best parents out there, the ones with a strong moral foundation, are not going to be denied licenses. I think this is really important because if you leave the pool of foster parents, frankly, with a bunch of degenerates or people with loose moral standards, you don't provide structure for these kids who are already had all the structure in their world fall apart. They've got trust issues, they've got abandonment issues, they've got post-traumatic stress disorders, traumas, right? You want them in a household that has a strong foundation, has good boundaries and things like that. So when the state comes in and goes, no, you can't have those boundaries, then what you're going to be left with is a pool of a bunch of, frankly, a bunch of degenerates. And you're going to have a rise of all kinds of other issues that come with degeneracy and young kids that are not their own being put in their households. So this is a big win. It's a big win.

New York Taxes Empty Luxury Homes

SPEAKER_21 1:01:32

Now, speaking of communists, here's Mayor Mondami. Here's Mayor Mondami in New York. And he promised not to raise taxes, but he was going to raise taxes. Everything was going to be free. Hey, we have a budget shortfall. We we can't pay for all the free stuff I promised, to the point where he's bending the knee and but in front of a bunch of Goldman Sachs and Jamie Diamond being like, please don't let people leave the place. Well, there's a problem, right? A lot of the rich folks out there that do work at these large financial centers at the financial center of the world that do make a lot of money because they're doing billion-dollar deals. So they get pretty decent commissions, I would imagine. And uh, so they buy real estate in New York. And there was a point in time where they lived in that real estate, Ron. I mean, there was a point in time where if you bought a five million dollar Manhattan penthouse and it was, you know, a block away from where you worked, it was very convenient. But at some point, it is no longer convenient to live a block away from work because your taxes were higher, there was needles on the street, there were homeless guys peeing on the street, right? It starts to be like it's not very desirable to live there, first of all. And then because of 2020 COVID and how New York especially cracked down on anybody going to work, they learned how to work remotely through Zoom remotely. So they went to places that had better tax policies, safer streets, Florida, South Carolina, any number of places, you know, upstate Maine, wherever, any number of places that was just better than New York. But of course, would you sell your penthouse? Well, no, not necessarily, because you do come back from time to time to go to corporate boardroom meetings and plus like that. But Mondami has a solution for it, Ron. He has a solution for it. When I ran for mayor, I said I was gonna tax the rich.

SPEAKER_17 1:03:18

Well, today, we're taxing. I'm thrilled to announce we've secured a Pia-Tear tax, the first in New York's history. This is an annual fee on luxury properties worth more than $5 million, whose owners do not live full-time in the city. Like for this penthouse, which hedge fund CEO Ken Griffin bought for $238 million. This Pier-de-Tare tax is specifically designed for the richest of the rich, those who store their wealth in New York City real estate but who don't actually live here. But even so, they're able to reap the huge financial rewards of owning property in, dare I say, the greatest city in the world. And most of the time, these units are sitting empty, since again, they don't actually live here. This is a fundamentally unfair system that hurts working New Yorkers. Now, it's coming to an end. This tax will raise at least $500 million directly for the city. And it'll help fund things like free childcare, cleaner streets, and safer neighborhoods. As mayor, I believe everyone has a role to play in contributing to our city. And some a little bit more than others. Happy tax day, New York.

SPEAKER_21 1:04:18

What's crazy is if you cleaned up the streets and you got better tax policy, you probably would live in that penthouse full-time. But because you have unclean streets, breakdown of law and order, and you have high income tax laws, they get out of the city, but they don't sell their real estate. You don't always have to. There's not a lot of 238 billion, you know, million-dollar apartment buyers out there that that that aren't Chinese at this point.

SPEAKER_22 1:04:42

Now, I agree that it is cringy to own these assets. You know, owning, you know, huge penthouses that you never stay in only because you need a place to park money. I agree. It is cringy. But this, what Madami's doing, this is theft.

SPEAKER_21 1:04:56

It makes you but here's the thing, right? It's the crisis problem solution. If the objective is to tax the rich, so you did that once, and now you're still going after them again, but you created the conditions why the penthouse is empty. This is the same thing in Seattle. When you walk around Seattle, why is the first floor of all these buildings that used to be literally Walgreens, Ross, Macy's? Why are they empty? Oh, now we got to do have a vacancy tax, right? So you're you're kicking me while I'm down. You know what I'm you know what I'm saying here? Yeah, like is it cringy to own real estate? No, no. Here's the problem it goes this it wasn't gonna be centered on Bitcoin, but again, there's a money problem. Why are you storing your wealth in real estate in the first place? Because you can't store it anywhere else. Yep, right. So now you're now you're being punished for making the only smart financial decision you can make with that much money. Yep, yeah, big problem here. Again, communists, communists, and you let them run the place, and they're just gonna keep breaking.

SPEAKER_22 1:05:56

They're just takers.

SPEAKER_21 1:05:57

Yeah. Now remember when Katie Wilson said. You know, about the rich people leaving Seattle, and she's like, bye, right? Bye. Like, no big deal. Well, obviously, she's backtracked on that a little bit. He's kind of kowtowing to these businesses trying to beg them not to leave. And she's she did this little interview where she kind of responded. And again, como news, you didn't really that comment you made at University of Washington. What was the comment? What was the comment? You're going to notice that here. He doesn't say what the comment was, he just refers to it because it's it's kind of like having the name Madonna. You can just say that thing you said, and it's like so famous because it was a big deal. You're not making any effort to try to keep the wealthy in the city. And we're going to break down why it's important to keep the wealthy in the city from Jeff Bezos himself after this. But she's now touting what tiny little investments are being made by big businesses in the in the city to try to act like she's somehow, you know, not opposed to the risk.

SPEAKER_34 1:06:55

I mean, it's really great that Amazon's invested $3.5 million um in this project.

SPEAKER_41 1:06:59

What do you think it means in terms of real relationship with your office and big business, knowing we all saw the video from a couple of weeks ago on the stage at CLEU?

SPEAKER_34 1:07:08

Um, so again, I'm really excited about this partnership. And uh, I mean, just to give another example, right? Today we um we announced um a second large new um shelter site, tiny house village, that um that we're working on, and that is uh with uh philanthropic partnership from Challenge Seattle. So that includes money from Starbucks, from T-Mobile, from Microsoft, from John Stanton and Terry Gillespie. And so really grateful for their um partnership. I mean, it's really great that Amazon's invested $3.5 million um in this project. Damn.

SPEAKER_21 1:07:38

I would call that extortion money. She is so in over her head. Oh, totally. I would call that extortion money. $3.5 million for all of those corporations is like dropping the bucket, right? Yeah, but what are they doing? They're paying the bribe, they're paying the Barbary pirates. That's what they're doing. Yep. Just we're gonna pay you this over here to try to avoid something over here, some tax regulation. So we're gonna pay the peanuts, pay the bribes so you can put it into your NGOs. And and what is the problem with the NGOs? What did we just talk about Seattle having a problem with? Missing monies. So the problem is you have too much money and you're not allocating it correctly, but you're still taking money from the rich and putting it over there where it's for the most part unaccountable. Same problem, same problem over and over and over again.

Can You Earn A Billion Dollars

SPEAKER_21 1:08:27

Jeff Bezos describes because he did this interview with uh CNBC, and he's being asked about how the socialist left, AOC, and others are constantly talking about taxing the rich and this idea that billionaires at some point had state help to become billionaires. Now, I know for a fact the state, the government, can create billionaires. I mean, $1.9 billion getting funneled into NGOs, you know, extrapolate that out a handful of years, and somebody in that system is going to become a billionaire from state help. But for the most part, the really big billionaires that we're all accustomed to, the Elon Musk, the Jeff Bezos, the Bill Gates, they sold something. They did something, they created something that not just created jobs, but it was something that the people wanted that improved their lives.

SPEAKER_33 1:09:15

Let me ask you about the anger, because there seems to be anger, at least from certain political sides of this. And AOC uh recently said in a podcast, and Mr. Curious, how you think about this, says there's a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned, she says. You can't earn a billion dollars. Just can't earn that, she says. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they're worth, but you can't earn that. You, by the way, you've earned an extraordinary amount of money, you employ the largest employer, if not one of them, in the whole country.

SPEAKER_21 1:09:53

Okay, let's go back to the Hegelian dialectic. You can't earn a billion dollars. You can manipulate markets, you can get, you know, whatever stipends, you can abuse the workforce, but you cannot earn a billion dollars. Well, you can't earn it at uh minimum wage, but which all is all AOC ever had, right? Or Katie Wilson ever had. There's no concept of earning money. Their whole life is taking from the rich through exchanging your labor. When you go work at a job, you're building someone else's dream. Okay. So that's fine. That's totally fine. I think you should, you know, have a fair exchange of your labor, but ultimately you're in charge of bartering for that labor price. If you refuse to build someone else's dream unless they pay you X, because it contributes to whatever you want in life, then you have that market choice. So if labor's a problem, then what happens? What how does the government intervene? Because they're getting all that money from the rich, right? Because the rich pay more in taxes than anybody else. You start getting illegal immigrants. And then what happens? Well, now we have to take care of them. So now let's print more money. It just becomes kind of a compounding problem. When your perspective is the rich can't become billionaires on their own without some type of corruption involved.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:16

Uh, when you read that, what do you think? Well, it's it's it's not cracked on its face. Let's give you let me give you a simple example. Let's say you start a burger joint and you have 10 employees, and uh you make a little bit of money, right? And so you have this is this one one outlet. And by the way, these are the most delicious burgers in the world. People love your burgers, Andrew. And so then you open a second outlet, right? And now you're making a little bit more money, and you have 20 employees, and you open a third outlet. By the time you've opened a thousand outlets, you are a billionaire, right? And by the way, this is a real life story, it happens all the time. It's in-and-out burger, it's you know, raisin canes, chicken. At what point did that money all of a sudden become unethical? Or it it didn't there was one outlet, and then there were two, and then there were three. What you're doing, the way the way you make a billion dollars or a hundred million dollars or ten million dollars or anything, is you create a service that people love, and if millions of people choose your service, you're gonna end up with a billion dollars. Right. And you you can you know just try it with a chicken franchise. Do you think though if your chicken has to be good?

SPEAKER_21 1:12:33

But they're but once you've become a billion dollars, then the crisis is the fact that you must have exploited your labor. Every single person who went and filled out a job application and voluntarily agreed to work for whatever wage you were offering. That was exploitive. Why? They didn't have to fill out the job application. But but they could exploit labor if the government imports illegal immigrants who will work for less, and then the middle class or the legacy Americans feel exploited because they can't work for that amount. Do you see what I'm saying? So so any exploit that the billionaires do, it's at it's with the permission of the state. So what would be the solution if we're conservatives? Stop allowing illegal immigrants to come in and allow legacy Americans who have state protection when it comes to their contract of labor.

SPEAKER_22 1:13:24

But it's at the expense of who?

SPEAKER_21 1:13:28

The state. The state, yeah. Well, which is what us. Us. Yes, that's right. Uh Ron, what do we got? Rumble premium?

Party Power Plays And Redistricting Talk

SPEAKER_21 1:15:07

Okay. John Cornyn was not endorsed by Donald Trump. He canceled his campaign events and ran back to Washington to cast some votes. Now, I am not aware of a whole lot of progress that's been made in the last six months as far as legislation is concerned. Are you aware of any? No. I think it was a couple months ago that Donald Trump said he wouldn't sign any bills if the Save America Act wasn't passed, right? So we haven't really seen a lot, but he rushed back to Washington, DC, into the arms of John Thune to reconcile, you know, this disaster that's starting to happen. I believe right now in Texas, the primary vote, the runoff vote between Cornyn and Paxson is happening. So he goes back and CNN interviews him here. This comes from Forbes Breaking News, but this is uh what's his name from CNN? And he's asking him, are you upset about Donald Trump endorsing Ken Paxson? And he says something kind of interesting here.

SPEAKER_31 1:16:04

Now the president has come out and made very clear, and he's had a nearly perfect record in all these primaries. Why stay in this race?

SPEAKER_05 1:16:14

Probably because only Texans get to vote. And uh we've had two days of early voting, which looks very encouraging. And uh, I believe that uh uh we still have a very good chance of winning in the race. How much did the president, in your view, endanger the Senate majority by getting behind tax then? Well, I think you'll have to talk to well, I think you'll have to talk to others. Really, I'm just focused on my race right now.

SPEAKER_14 1:16:38

All right, thank you guys voters outside President Trump's books.

SPEAKER_21 1:16:46

Uh look at everything we've been doing the last six months. Nothing. What we have we been doing this show for six months? Easy. Has Cornyn done anything significant at all? Has the Senate done anything significant? None of them have done anything.

SPEAKER_22 1:17:11

None of them have done anything.

SPEAKER_21 1:17:13

I guess we've gotten some judges through. I mean, like look at everything we've been doing in the sack the last six months. Cornyn, we've looked at everything you've been doing the last 18 years. We're not very satisfied with this. Gavin Newsom was being asked about this redistricting fight, and uh it's interesting to me, you know. Anytime you hear some of these Democrats talk, it's just ultimate projection. Or they say the exact thing they mean. Okay. So this is one of those cases where it's both. There's projection when he talks about the Republicans, but he's also saying exactly what he means, right?

SPEAKER_25 1:17:51

This is the quiet part out loud. We have agency, we have a responsibility. It's just like the issue of redistricting. We could have decided it to write an op-ed. We could have decided, you know, you know, hold hands, have a candlelight visual, win the argument. These guys are ruthless on the other side. That's the projection. Trump's not screwing around, and nor can we. Yeah, it's uncomfortable fighting fire with fire. Yes, we all want the better angels. Yes, we want the sorkin sound and music, a little West Wing. I do. But we'll lose our country. We will lose our country. We have agency, we have a responsibility.

SPEAKER_21 1:18:32

These people are ruthless. Trump's not playing around. Notice how it's the center for American progress. Anytime you hear that word progress, you can oftentimes interpret Hegelian dialectic and Marxism, right? In the name of progress, that becomes

Undercover Claims Of 2020 Election Fraud

SPEAKER_21 1:18:46

the thing. So, undercover video. This is from 2024. This is Joe Caldwell, and his title was Director of Operations for the Coalition for the People's Agenda in Georgia. We're gonna listen to the first couple minutes of this where he talks about the voter fraud in Georgia in 2020. He was eyewitness to some of this. He was a ballot harvester on undercover video here.

SPEAKER_24 1:19:48

Yeah, it is it was so bad. So that's the video table see the one. I think during the hour that stretched that less than a hundred ultimates counting for Trump. Statistically you're downtown. There's much more than up with Trump that would have much.

SPEAKER_21 1:20:47

Okay. So he says when they were counting in the dome, they had a water leak. They sent everybody out, they started putting stuff away. The Republicans and Democrats went into the parking lot, and when the Republicans took off, the Democrats lingered. Instead of going back to headquarters, they went back in and started counting. And during that hour that they counted without any uh watchers or anything like that, that's when they pulled the briefcases out or the suitcases out from under the counter. This was George Freeman. Yep. Yeah, we've played video of that. Yep, they duplicate, counted the ballots. You see her literally taking it out of the tray and putting it back on top and counting again, out of the tray, putting it back on top and counting again. And in that hour, there were only like a hundred votes cast for Donald Trump. And he's like, it was downtown. There was more than a hundred votes for Trump. This is one of the guys just admitting it. That's one of the ballots. Then he goes on this when they started stuffing the ballots and people stuffing.

SPEAKER_24 1:21:44

Nobody talks about it. Talks about it. That's why Trump would be making that big deal about it. You see it on videotape. You see it, man, pull up with a hundred ballots in the shit. It's like abstitute balance drawing.

SPEAKER_37 1:22:11

How did anyone okay?

SPEAKER_21 1:22:16

I'm not gonna do this, trust me. All right. Who's ruthless, Ron? Who's ruthless? They should have written an op-ed. I wish they would have written an op-ed. Republicans resorted to writing op-eds, but the Democrats, they just went in and did it. And here's how it worked out in Arizona. Okay. And again, the fraud is legion. Ballot stuffing, double counting ballots when you're running them through the machines, machine fraud, voter for voter roll fraud, which creates a larger universe of ballots, mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting, it's Legion. Every element of how this election in 2020 went down was fraudulent. They've got every angle covered.

SPEAKER_22 1:22:56

I I mean, can you even think of another new way that you could inject some more fraud? How? I mean, they've got every spot covered.

SPEAKER_21 1:23:06

Every spot covered. When you're when you're willing to give away your vote for $3, they can buy a lot of votes. Or a cigarette. Yeah, a couple cigarettes. Exactly. So here was the cyber ninja uh analysis that was at the symposium down in

Arizona Audit Anomalies And Voter Rolls

SPEAKER_21 1:23:21

Arizona. Okay. So, or they they had the cyber ninja audit where they got to actually go through the ballots. Now they were limited from doing a lot of things that could have definitively proven the fraud. And you'll notice here, even in this hearing where they're trying to flesh out all the issues, the representative says, We're not alleging any fraud here. Okay. So the premise that they had working on was fair safe, good election. We're just trying to figure out some of these anomalies.

SPEAKER_22 1:23:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_21 1:23:47

And in the name of trying to figure to literally justify the anomalies, they came up with a blank.

SPEAKER_15 1:23:53

So we have also seen some interesting things related to the voter rolls. Um, so for example, we have 11,326 people that which was the margin of victory for Joe Biden in Arizona, by the way. Did not show up on a November 7th version of the voter rolls that should have been after votes were cast, but then appeared on the December 4th voter rolls. And just be clear, they show as voted in this past election, but they were not a November 7th version of the file, and they were they did show up on the December 4th version.

unknown 1:24:25

Cool.

SPEAKER_40 1:24:26

Okay. That sounds confusing. Is there give me an explanation of why that might have. I mean, we're not we're obviously we're not saying there's fraud, we're not saying anything else. I'm just trying to find answers. Is there a logical explanation why that would be?

SPEAKER_15 1:24:41

I cannot think of a logical explanation on what that would be. Um, but it'd be a great thing to hear back from the county to see if there's any anything that we're not thinking of.

unknown 1:24:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_21 1:24:51

So we have also seen some so people voted that were not on the voter rolls the day after the election, but their ballot had been cast. But then once there's scrutiny on it by no December, they're added to the voter rolls showing his having voted, which just happens to be the amount of people that was in the margin of error. As in, even with rigging it prior to the election, he still didn't win. They had to add that extra margin. But we're not alleging there's fraud, we're just trying to figure out how we added people to the election after the election happened. Yeah, nothing to see here. Nothing to see here, nothing to see here. Yeah, no problem at all. Now, the cover-up continues because obviously, with impact that great across the country, right? Not electing the president, and of course, things go haywire. I go to protest the election. Colonel Larry Brock goes and protests the election. Yeah, we can't get that toothpaste back in the tube. We meet in Springfield, Missouri, you know, federal prison. Hey, Larry, how's it going? Hey, Taylor. You know, you think they're gonna steal this election too? Oh, they're gonna try. They're gonna try. When I say things, like I don't believe we live in a blue country, right? I believe even the state of Washington, the understanding of how the election works, it's a game of plausible believability. Yes, that's when you think when you can get people to believe that your neighborhood is Democrat, when they can get you to believe that people are Democrat, and how do they do that? They seed the zeitgeist in the elementary schools and the schools. That's why homeschooling is.

SPEAKER_22 1:26:29

Well, they say things like keep Portland weird.

SPEAKER_21 1:26:31

Keep Portland weird, when they say things, you know, when they when they constantly the dialectic is rich people are bad. All your problems, homelessness, that's caused by rich people. Lack of jobs, that's caused by rich people's greed, right? Always an or immigrants coming in. Well, that's climate change. And you know, you should pony up some more money so we can fix climate change in in global South Sahara Africa. You know what I'm saying? Like the whole thing is a big scam to make it plausibly believable that people would vote against their own self-interest. And that's what it boils down to. And when you break down the manipulation, you're going, this seems to always go one direction, right? I'm not saying Republicans haven't been guilty of a thing a time or two. There have been plenty of people that have been show trialed for voting two Republican ballots, or, you know, obviously we know there's Republicans down in Texas that are judges that are paying these ballot harvesters to make it happen. You know what I'm saying? So it's it goes both directions, but on an overwhelming scale, it's typically the Democrats. So the Democrats obviously have to put a tamp on this and they've got to chill the vote. They shock in all the January Sixers. And then on top of that, they continue to persecute Donald Trump through Jack Smith, the Arctic Frost investigations, et cetera,

DOJ Leaks And The Cake Recipe Trick

SPEAKER_21 1:27:42

et cetera. Well, turns out one of the attorneys that was working with Jack Smith, remember that whole classified documents thing, and Trump had classified documents down in Mar-Lago. Oh my goodness, how did so many felonies? By the way, Joe Biden had boxes of classified documents parked next to his Corvette in his garage. Oh, well, he voluntarily gave those back when we came asking. Right. And Trump was more than willing to give anything that was classified back. Just tell me what it is and I'll give it back. Nope, we're gonna raid your house, go through your wife's panty drawers. Okay. So one of those attorneys that worked on that case, the Mar-Lago raid, turns out the raid on Mar-a-Lago.

SPEAKER_42 1:28:19

Well, this prosecutor was in support of that uh case. She helped Jack Smith bring those charges. She herself was charged Wednesday for allegedly illegally emailing herself a copy of the classified report that Jack Smith wrote. The report that a judge said could not be released to the public. She disguised the material, I'm not making this up, as cake recipes, and then tried to move them to her private email address, but the Justice Department's tech team discovered it. And now the indicted prosecutor, Carmen Mercedes Leinberger, who was a managing assistant U.S. attorney for the Fort Pierce branch of the Miami U.S. Attorney's Office, faces multiple felony counts. She's been charged with two counts of theft of government money or property, the destruction, alteration, or falsification of records of a federal investigation, and concealing, removing, or mutilating public records. She pleaded not guilty. This is the sort of case that brings accountability to a deep state that sometimes feels it could do what it wants, and it treats the American people's product as their own, tries to take it as their own. Remember not that long ago, John Bolton, the former National Security Advisor, was similarly charged for trying to move classified information to his private email. This is another example of that. Seldom do we see a prosecutor prosecuted themselves, but today we see them. Now the department in announcing these charges said that in separate instances in late 25, Weinberger altered the electronic file names of government records that she received in her official capacity to conceal her unauthorized electronic transmission of the records to her personal email accounts. In other words, she moved in a person, she stole the reports, put them to someplace where she was not allowed to do.com.

SPEAKER_21 1:30:05

Wow. Are we surprised? No. No, not at all. Not even a bit. The obstructionists are turns out the obstructionists. The people who come after you for classified documents themselves don't respect classified documents. So she took Jack Smith's second report, which Eileen Cannon sealed because it was a bogus report. And it he wasn't he wasn't sworn in as a prosecutor, like everything was wrong with that case. The material, the planting of evidence in Mar-Lago, like that came out in that case, the planting of evidence. So the evidence they planted then made its way into this report to do what? Damage to Donald Trump and pull and potentially indict him. And so what did she do? In 2025, not 2023, not 2024 before Joe Biden lost. In 2025, she still worked at the DOJ. She took that classified document, relabeled it as a cake recipe. Which, by the way, did you know you're paying DOJ employees on the clock using government hardware to look up cake recipes? Was that any better? It would have been better if it had been a real cake recipe. Relabeled the document, attached it, sent it to her Gmail. And what was probably the intention of that? Just keep it for posterity to show her kids? No. To leak it. To leak it. That was clearly the reason why she did that. She's now been indicted, and she was charged with, I believe, one of the charges, and if I'm not mistaken, is USC 1512 C2. Do you know what charge that is? It's the obstruction of Congress charge, the federal investigation charge. That happens to be the same charge I got that carries a 20-year prison sentence. Nope. Now, Scott McFarlane, one of our favorite disinformation artists that uh is now working independently, which means he can go on different news channels and whatnot.

The Weaponization Fund Fight

SPEAKER_21 1:31:52

And he was on with MS Now yesterday because some January 6th officers have sued to block the weaponization of government fund that could go to provide relief to January 6th. The more I hear about this weaponization fund, the more disappointed I am in the fund itself. Sounds like the fund's weaponized. Yeah. Well, it's just there's it's not big enough. And I don't mean it should have been $176 billion, not point $1.76 billion. It's just not big enough for the amount of people that can make a claim against it. That's just what it boils down to. People are not going to be made whole from this. Um I mean, somebody did some rough back of the napkin math. It's like it would barely pay for the collective attorney's fees that January 6ers paid, let alone when you start throwing in FaceAC, Crypto Bros. Anyone who has a claim of government weaponization against them can make a claim. Michael Caputo asked for $2.7 million. Now, Michael Caputo never went to prison. His life was absolutely turned upside down. Lawfare to the two the nines. Same thing every January 6th defendant felt, but a lot of January 6th defendants spent a significant amount of time in prison. I lost 14 months of my life of straight up incarceration and four years of my life with a thumb pushing me down. You guys lost four years of a beautiful podcast that could have grown to hundreds of thousands of listeners. Yeah right in the course of that. And some of you guys have stuck back around and like Pony Boy, he's part of season one and season two.

SPEAKER_22 1:33:26

Now, you know, I didn't go to jail, and so far I haven't really made any noise about any of this, but my life was affected greatly too, and I would love a piece of the cash. Exactly.

SPEAKER_21 1:33:37

And you could make a claim, right? The way they've done it. Now, Scott McFarland got on MS now, and again, planting the seed in the zeitgeist that all those prosecutions were completely above board, no problems. But he says a couple things that make you go, does it really work out that way?

SPEAKER_26 1:33:52

And I want to add one note to all the misinformation. I'm filling a notebook with misinformation spreading about January 6th today.

SPEAKER_21 1:33:58

The idea that these cases were wrongful, no case was overturned, not a one on appeal, and lots of people except for all of the people charged with 1512, including myself, that the Supreme Court overturned. So he's kind of missing like a Supreme Court case.

SPEAKER_26 1:34:15

Appealed, and as Brendan would tell you, they had a 100% success rate for juries at trial. You ever been on jury duty? You know how impossible it is to get 12 people to agree on a lunch order. They got every single jury, dozens of them, to agree to convict.

SPEAKER_21 1:34:33

Hmm. 100%. Sounds like Joe Biden's vote tally in the middle of the night in Georgia. Sounds like sounds like collusion. I sat on I sat through a trial against myself and I saw what those juries looked like. And yeah, talk about not fair. One of the things I came to be really aware of was the fact that the entire city had positioned itself as a crime victim. Right? People on my jury said on the day of January 6th, they were getting phone calls from people around the country. Are you safe? Are you okay? Okay, well, that means you're directly impacted by the crime. You don't let the person in the car that got carjacked sit on the jury for the carjack. Supposed to be a neutral, unbiased jury, right? Whatever. You know, when the judges say things, when they say I can't be unbiased, and the judge responds, again, these aren't in transcripts. Well, will you try? I I literally cannot be unbiased. So will you try? Sure. Okay, you're on the jury. Oh, sure. Okay. All right. Well, don't make a college effort. So here is a Republican House of Representative member. This is I gotta remember. This is Representative Brian Fitzpatrick. Now he is a Republican. He is a Republican, and he's being asked by the same Scott McFarland about this weaponization fund. He's concerned about where the money's coming from and all that kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_26 1:36:02

How do you kill this thing off?

SPEAKER_14 1:36:04

Well, that's what we just talked about here. So we have to figure out where what's what's the uh the source of the fund, right? Is it an appropriation from last year? Is it two years ago? Where did the money come from? And what limitations were put around that money? Um are there constitutional questions? Are they statutory questions? You know, what falls with an article authority? This is all the things we're trying to unpack now.

SPEAKER_26 1:36:29

But the narrow margin, you hold a pretty pivotal vote on everything. Everybody's votes pivotal. We all get one vote. You think this is something your constituents would want you to fight for?

SPEAKER_14 1:36:38

100%, yeah. Listen, I think constituents across America want the same things for the for the most part.

SPEAKER_21 1:36:44

Um there's $1.9 billion going into Seattle. And $1.7 billion going to the weaponization of government fund.

SPEAKER_22 1:36:57

Why don't they um But they're fighting for every dollar, Ron. Why don't they make a list of the claimants first before they come up with the total?

SPEAKER_21 1:37:06

I don't know. I I think again, the total $17.76. I yeah, I I get it. It's a symbolic total. Sure.

SPEAKER_14 1:37:14

We're trying to restore trust in the institution. That's why, you know, I partner with everyone from Tim Burchett to AOC on banning members of Congress from trading stocks. We're trying to take steps, you know, any gerrymandering, we're trying to take steps to to you know bridge a divide between the public and the institution. And things like this just go backwards, you know. So that's why step one is we have to all of us, journalists, uh members of Congress, we have to unpack what exactly it is. Right now we just have a top line of you know, some sound bites. We don't know what the source of the funding is, what the legal authority it's based on is. Is there a precedent? If there isn't, why not? What falls within the court's jurisdiction in terms of constitutional review? This is what we're trying to get our arms around. But um, step one is um a letter to uh stating our position to the attorney acting attorney general. We'll also be on it with you. I don't know. We're doing that right now. Um, and my staff is working on legislation. Um, we'll work with the legislative council to figure out what, and this is why we got to get to the source of the funding, right? Um to know what our jurisdiction is and how we can respond to it.

SPEAKER_21 1:38:18

This is an ongoing cover-up of the 2020 election fraud and likely decades of frauds. It's an ongoing cover-up. Why would you not want to compensate the what the people who were had government weaponized against them? Right? In in a in the big scheme of things, this is a drop in the bucket. But yet they want to wrap their arms around it, figure out where we gotta fight for every dollar. You didn't fight for every dollar when the inflation reduction act got paid. How much money did Obama send to Iran? Exactly more than this. That was a hundred billion dollars, right? In total funds and one point something billion dollars in cash. I mean, I'll take a cash payout. Likely it'll be, you know, a settlement minus attorney fees, minus taxes, and you know, at the end of the day. Yeah, I mean the Republicans are in on this, right? What has the Senate been doing the last six months? Nothing. If they wanted to fix the elections, they'd pass the Save of America Act yesterday, but they don't. There's an ongoing dialectic happening here that's leading us to worse and worse waters, and we have to change the direction of this bird. Change the premise, right? Change the premise completely. Donald Trump was asked about the fund.

SPEAKER_35 1:39:36

They made a uh settlement of some kind. I wasn't involved in the settlement. Uh I could have been involved, but I didn't choose to be. Uh, so they made a settlement. Also, the anti-weaponization uh of people, I mean, people were destroyed. They went to jail, they their families were ruined, they committed suicide. You know, all the Biden administration and the Obama administration, both of them. I mean, the Obama administration started it. The Biden administration was uh horrible in terms of what they've done to people is incredible. And we're getting, we're reimbursing those people for their legal fees and for their costs and for anybody involved. But they destroyed people, people committing suicide. I read the other day a person committed suicide over it. They went, you know, it was the most violent thing I've ever seen in politics, what they did. And yet, if I say, oh, let's look at this one or that one, they say weaponization, weaponization. What they did in terms of weaponization will never be allowed to happen in this country again. So we think that those people, we think that anybody involved in that process should partake. And you're talking about peanuts compared to the value. It destroyed the lives of many, many people. Thank you very much.

SPEAKER_21 1:40:51

That should be the working premise. That should be the working premise.

Aliens As The Next Big Fear

SPEAKER_21 1:40:55

Now, we're gonna wrap up talking about the Hegelian dialectic again. We have to have a boogeyman, Ron. For years we've had the boogeyman of climate change, but I believe the boogeyman is changing. The place where we can dump money that ultimately the objective is to advance civilization, but there has to be a reason for the people to open their pocketbooks, to pay, to buy in. JFK tried to use the space race, which ultimately for humanity could lead to making us extinction proof by putting us on more than one planet. It could harvest resources in outer space so we don't deplete the resources on our planet. I mean, who cares? Who cares about a freaking comet? You know what I mean? If you're using gold and silver to in in electronics, getting it from an asteroid would make it a lot cheaper than getting it from you know, grandma's jewelry box. And so we need a boogeyman that will justify mass amounts of spending and putting a ton of energy into a space race, right? What Carlito? Space race team player one? Yeah, we don't necessarily believe in space or that the earth is even round, but by golly, heck yeah, we're gonna do Starlink satellites and away we go. So, what is the new boogeyman? What is the big thing that is beyond our grasp that we can use to justify becoming a spacefaring world? Aliens. There's more.

SPEAKER_11 1:42:19

We just got our hands on new UFO docs. The disclosure foundation's FOIA the NSA for 300 new pages. We're still digging through them, but some of this stuff's shocking. According to the docs, back during the Cold War, the Soviets scrambled 13 MiG fighter jets to chase down one UFO. Another time, jets were deployed to hunt down 23 UFOs flying at 70,000 feet.

SPEAKER_21 1:42:45

So the when the Soviet Union fell, when the Soviet Union fell and they literally couldn't pay the door guards anymore at the KGB and the Kremlin and stuff like that, people went in and grabbed all these files. You can go online and you can look at the Soviet Union's files on everything they had. I mean, it's just all out there. They're spying on. I mean, we know a more about our government from the Soviet Union's files than we've ever had released from our own government. Okay. But they had an immense amount of information on UFOs, aliens, and stuff like that. And I have perused through a lot of these documents. This is four or five years ago. They have an immense amount of data. The amount of stuff that our government has given to us is a tiny fraction of the stuff you can go get in the old KGB files. Oh, it's full disclosure, Taylor. Full disclosure.

SPEAKER_11 1:43:35

Yeah. The Russians probably thought we were coming to bomb them. Was it an American spy plane, a balloon, an alien? We don't know.

SPEAKER_21 1:43:43

Every time we get more they didn't, because the Russian documents clearly said, this isn't the US. This is a big, big problem. That is not their technology. We're spying on them. We know everything they got. They don't got that.

SPEAKER_11 1:43:58

Files, we have more questions like, where are the little green men? Where's the alien?

SPEAKER_38 1:44:04

That's my question. Is it too much to ask? That if you got him in the back shed, just bring out the alien. Then we would all transition from asking one another, do you believe in aliens? to well, yeah, of course, the aliens there.

SPEAKER_11 1:44:21

Steven Spielberg's waiting for a callback. He made half his career off aliens, but they never stopped by.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:28

I've made all these movies where I've kind of played an ambassadorial role. They've never shown themselves to me. Why is that? It's so unfair.

SPEAKER_11 1:44:37

We all grew up watching his movies. Back then it felt like science fiction, but now not so much.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:44

When I made Close Encounters, for me, it was a story that I thought, wouldn't it be great when this movie comes out? Wouldn't it be great if people like this movie that come out and they see Close Encounters? And wouldn't it be great if this someday could all come true?

SPEAKER_11 1:44:59

Congress wants answers too. House Republicans think private contractors know something we don't. One Congressman just sent a letter to MIT demanding a classified video called Flying Saucer Talk from the 50s. The first batch of the files dropped a few weeks ago. The Department of War says more are coming soon. Not sure what the holdup is. It's not like Pete's been busy with anything. But we're just scratching the surface. These files have been buried for decades. And the deep state doesn't want them out. But they're coming. And we're hearing they're pretty big.

SPEAKER_10 1:45:33

But I think they're taking it so serious that we're gonna we're gonna get to more tranches of more meaningful evidence. And I think eventually we'll get to that thing that we've that moment that we've all only seen in movies where a sitting president steps to a microphone and tells the world we're not alone in the universe.

SPEAKER_21 1:45:47

And therefore we must invest in more rocket technology. I'm just saying the Hegelian dialectic, it can be used for good and bad. And maybe, maybe we should becoming a space, spacefaring people. We'll see. But I see that as the thing that we can't resolve, right? It's bigger than us. Climate change, same kind of thing. And so you're going to activate the economy and things like that. It's going to become an outlet for fiat money. Speaking of fiat money and the solution to it, we've talked about this pretty extensively.

Crypto Rules And The Clarity Act

SPEAKER_21 1:46:22

And bottom is Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies becoming the new financial system. Clarity Act is on its way. Cynthia Loomis gives us an update.

SPEAKER_20 1:46:30

Senator Cynthia Loomis is co-sponsoring the bill, and she agrees nobody is popping the champagne quite yet.

SPEAKER_44 1:46:38

There's no time for a victory lap because there's still a lot of work to do. It's going to take at least three weeks and maybe more. I would love to have this bill on the floor in June. That's probably pretty optimistic.

SPEAKER_20 1:46:55

And bottom line here, we're weeks away from a real Senate vote. And even if it does pass, these rules take 18 months to actually kick in. Senator Cynthia Lord.

SPEAKER_21 1:47:05

Great. So it's the accumulation time. That's the way I see it. Now we had a pretty big news yesterday, and we're gonna jump over into a private after we

Raul Castro Indicted And Cuba Watch

SPEAKER_21 1:47:14

hear about this. But huge news out of Florida yesterday.

SPEAKER_36 1:47:17

The Southern District of Florida, United States District Court. Advising that Raul Castro will face count one, conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, facing a maximum term of imprisonment, of life imprisonment. Counts two and three, destruction of aircraft, facing a maximum term of imprisonment on each count of up to five years in prison, and counts four through seven the charges of murder, facing a maximum term of imprisonment on each count of death or life imprisonment. God bless you, God bless this great free state of Florida and our United States of America.

SPEAKER_21 1:48:08

So Raul Castle, the brother of Fidel Castro, has been indicted on murder. And Donald Trump has talked about Cuba. And now that Iran, I don't know, is it settling down? I mean, it's day by day over there. Cuba's next. And when we jump over into private, we're gonna get a full breakdown from Jesse Waters about how we're positioned to do something outside of Cuba. The Nimitz is currently parked off the coast of Cuba.

SPEAKER_35 1:48:31

We have a lot of people there. CIA there, we have Marco is there. Marco's parents, as you know, we're from Cuba. So we have a lot of expertise in Cuba, and it's not gonna be like the biggest thing we've ever done, but I will tell you to a lot of people, it's gonna be one of the most important. They've been looking for this moment for 65 years. So we'll see what happens. But uh we're gonna do in the meantime, we're gonna have to help them out. They have no way of living, they have no food, they have no electricity, they have no energy at all. But they do have great people. They're a lot of great people. I mean, I I have so many Cuban friends in Miami, mostly in Miami and Florida, and they're unbelievable people, they're unbelievable entrepreneurs, and they'd like to go back. I think they hopefully they're gonna want to live here, but they want to go back, maybe they'll invest. We'll see what happens.

SPEAKER_21 1:49:24

But uh with sounds like things are changing down there. Carlit says, I'm curious to see how they blast past the firmament. But Space Place team player run is present and accounted for. Absolutely. All right, so we're gonna jump over into private and we're gonna hear from Jesse Waters breaking down the current events going on outside of Cuba and in Cuba and how things are about to change big time. So we'll talk to you there in just a moment. Hi, guys.

Private Segment On Cuba And Iran

SPEAKER_21 1:49:52

Okay, here we are in private. All right, so let's listen to Jesse Waters.

SPEAKER_11 1:49:56

Fox News Alert, the Justice Department just indicted Fidel Calvin. Castro's little brother.

SPEAKER_18 1:50:02

Today we are announcing an indictment charging Raul Castro and several others with conspiracy to kill US nationals.

SPEAKER_11 1:50:19

Raul Castro, one of the last surviving members of the Cuban Revolution, is being charged with conspiracy to kill Americans, destruction of aircraft, and murder. In 96, Havana shot down two planes full of Cuban American exiles leaving Miami who were trying to save their brothers from Castro's clutches.

SPEAKER_18 1:50:39

For nearly 30 years. They were unarmed civilians and were flying humanitarian missions for the rescue and protection of people fleeing oppression across the Florida Straits. As alleged in the indictment, Roel Castro and five co-defendants participated in a conspiracy that ended with Cuban military aircraft firing missiles at those civilian planes and killing four Americans.

SPEAKER_21 1:51:16

Now, if you'll remember, according to Patrick Byrne, the CIA was involved in the rise of Fidel Castro, that they supported him and propped him up. They're the ones who actually made the introduction between Fidel Castro and Chavez after Chavez got out of prison in Venezuela. And so that kind of led to that those two countries becoming glued at the hip. Now, we've known forever that Cuba shot down these missiles, and we would assume that the Castros were involved in that. But in order to bring indictments, why hasn't any president up till now brought indictments? There have been plenty of diplomatic statements and things like that. Clearly, someone inside of Cuba with inside information, documents, recordings, orders, stuff, was able to get that to the United States and in front of a grand jury to bring these charges. So their system is totally cracking. This might be part of the internal workings of the current regime to try to save face and give up something in order to get, you know, immunity or whatever.

SPEAKER_22 1:52:15

I wonder how much Maduro plays into this because he's probably the one that has connections and knows who to tell his people.

SPEAKER_11 1:52:22

Sure could be, absolutely. The grand jury was presented evidence of Raul Castro ordering the hit. U.S. intelligence has him on tape. The president of the United States has a lot of balls in the air, but he's been thinking a lot about that island 90 miles off our coast. We have Cuba on our mind. Very important.

SPEAKER_35 1:52:42

A lot of problems for a lot of years. And this was a big, I think it was a very big moment for people that not only Cuban Americans, but uh people that came from Cuba, that want to go back to Cuba, keep people that want to see their family in Cuba. I think this is a very big day, very important day.

SPEAKER_11 1:53:00

CIA director John Ratcliffe was just in Havana last week, meeting with Cuban officials, including Raul's grandson. Ratcliffe gave the Cubans a doer die ultimatum. And Rubio's already celebrating Cuban Independence Day. He sent him a message offering the Cuban people an olive branch.

SPEAKER_08 1:53:20

In the U.S., we are ready to open a new chapter on the relationship between our people and our countries. And currently, the only thing standing in the way of a better future are those who control your country.

SPEAKER_11 1:53:31

The USS Nivitz and aircraft carrier strike group has just arrived in the Caribbean on the same day as the Castro indictment. What a coincidence. U.S. Southern Command says this is just a regularly scheduled exercise, just doing drills with some of our South American allies. Yeah. Or there's a chance that Castro is about to get Maduro's. Havana could fall at any time because the regime's not getting free oil from Venezuela. The island's suffering from blackouts 23 out of 24 hours a day. Communism wrecked what used to be a paradise.

unknown 1:54:08

What's coming next for Cuba?

SPEAKER_35 1:54:10

Well, we're going to see.

SPEAKER_11 1:54:16

It's a failing nation, so I just can't tell you that. But uh we're there to help. This time we don't have to worry about the Russians. Putin has his own problems. His war in Ukraine's going nowhere. And he's hiding from assassins. He just dipped into Beijing for a little powwow. The Russian leader wants to set up an oil pipeline to China because he lost a lot of European customers, and Qi lost Iran and Venezuela. But the two can't agree on price. Trump's keeping an eye on them.

SPEAKER_35 1:54:47

I get along with both of them. But I think it's good. I don't know if the ceremony is quite as brilliant as mine. I watched. I think we topped him.

SPEAKER_11 1:54:57

The day Vlad landed, the U.S. Marines and Japanese test fired some mobile defense rockets. They call it a shoot and scoot drill, just to make sure the Ruskies and Chaicoms know we're ready. The United States has our eyes open. Airstrikes in Nigeria have killed over 175 ISIS fighters, including their top guy. U.S. Africa man says they even discovered Mexican cartels on the continent.

SPEAKER_06 1:55:39

What's the destination of those drugs? Those drugs are destined for uh the Middle East, for Europe, but we're also seeing them then come in through the northern route back into America as we have applied pressure on the southern border. They're finding other means to bring those drugs into our nation.

SPEAKER_11 1:55:56

The Iranians are in their caves taking a lot of notes.

SPEAKER_35 1:55:59

Right now, we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. We're respected all over the world. You saw that with China just recently. You saw that in Venezuela. You saw that right now in Iran. Everything's gone. Their navy's gone. Their air force is gone, just about everything. The only question is do we go and finish it up or are they going to be signing a document? Let's see what happens.

SPEAKER_11 1:56:23

The president earlier this week was an hour away from restarting the war. And the word on the street is the military was not effing around. That's a quote with this bombing campaign. It was going to be ruthless. The commander-in-chief gave peace another chance, but those targets are still staring us in the face.

SPEAKER_36 1:56:40

Where does that stand today? Have you heard anything from them?

SPEAKER_35 1:56:43

Very uh right on the borderline, believe me. If we don't get the right answers, it goes very quickly. We're all ready to go. We have to get the right answers. It would have to be a complete, 100% good answers. And if we do, we save a lot of time, energy, and lives.

SPEAKER_11 1:57:02

And this just in. The president is saying he's going to be making a very big announcement on Iran in the next 24 hours. Axios is reporting that Trump and Netanyahu had a dramatic and lengthy phone call. President Trump reportedly told the Israeli leader that he's on the cusp of a deal to formally end the war and launch a 30-day period of negotiations over the nuke program and the strait. The Pakistanis and Qataris are the middlemen shuttling proposals back and forth. One source saying Netanyahu's hair was on fire after the call. But POTUS says he's got it under control.

SPEAKER_35 1:57:37

He'll do whatever I want him to do, and he's a he's a great guy. To me, he's a great guy. Don't forget he was a wartime prime minister. And he's not treated right in Israel, in my opinion. I'm right now at 99% in Israel. I could run for prime minister, so maybe after I do this, I'll go to Israel, run for prime minister.

SPEAKER_11 1:57:58

Sources are saying he's gonna be president of Venezuela, prime minister of Israel. I love it. No enrichment and open the strait. Trump says if they don't agree to that, things are gonna get a little bit nasty. But these Iranians are impossible. You can't even get them to agree to talk about what you're supposed to talk about. The president has a lot more patience than most. I'd never get tired.

SPEAKER_35 1:58:31

But what I like to do, if I if I can save war by waiting a couple of days, or I can save people being killed by waiting a couple of days, I think it's a great thing to come back.

SPEAKER_11 1:58:42

The Iranians are cornered, wicked, and cunning. They've been burning diplomats for decades. But now they're at their weakest point in history and they're under tremendous economic pressure. The generals don't trust them and think it's time for bridge and power plant day.

SPEAKER_39 1:58:57

We all know that President Trump is what I refer to as the backstop. He's not gonna take a bad deal. He's not gonna accept something. It doesn't mean meet his objectives. My point is, I don't think there's any chance these guys are gonna put something on the table. It's been six weeks that's gonna accept it. And let's get on with what we need to do and finish this once and for all.

SPEAKER_11 1:59:19

The president's hoping economic fury will make him tap. The blockade's in full effect. The enemy is gasping. The president gave a commencement speech to the Coast Guard cadets today in Connecticut and gave the boys a nice shout-out.

SPEAKER_35 1:59:33

You have this young, handsome captain saying, do not proceed further. You are in enemy territory, do not proceed further, or we will shoot. And last week you saw one shot, not a missile shot, a bullet, a very large bullet. A bullet from four miles hit the rudder of the ship, and the rudder of the ship fell into the ocean. It was a beautiful thing to see. And a man said, No, no, we are going back to Iran.

Earlier today in the Gulf of Amman, Marines from the 31st Expeditionary Unit boarded another Iranian blockade runner, the MT Celestial Sea. Now it's property of Uncle Sam, and so's the crewed. The blockade's about to turn around a hundo ships. The president has a message for our sailors. Don't give up. Ever.

SPEAKER_35 2:00:24

Let me leave you with a few words of advice to maybe help you a little bit on your way. First, most important, never ever give up. Never give up. They ask me, how do you be successful, sir? Starts with never give up. I've learned a lot about life, but the one thing I've really learned is that perseverance, never quitting, never giving up is a big deal. No matter how terrible the storm, no matter how difficult the mission, never surrender.

SPEAKER_21 2:00:56

I'm twenty-seven. I'm twenty-seven. Well, I can't just call you man. You could say Dennis. I didn't know you were called Dennis. I did say sorry about the old woman, but from behind you looking, they automatically treat me like an imperial. Well, I am king. Oh king. How'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers by hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. Is there ever gonna be any progress? How do you do, good lady? I'm Arthur, King of the Britons. Whose castle is that? King of the British the Britons. We all are. We are all Britons. And I am your king. No, we are the king. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship of self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes are the dictators. That's what it's all about. These good people I am in haste. Who lives in that castle? Who lives there? Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. What? I told you. We're in a narco-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. Yes. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting. Yes, I see by a civil majority in the case of purely internal affairs. But by a two-thirds majority in the case of quack. I order you to be quacked. I'm your king. The lady of the lake. Her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bottom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I asked was to carry Excalibur. That is why I'm your king. Listen, strange women lying in ponds, distributed swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derived from a mandate from the masses, not from some flashical aquatic ceremony. But you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart through a sawder isn't. I mean if I went around saying I was an emperor, just because some moistened bitch had loved a cemetery at me, they put me away. Now we see the system.
