Iran Ceasefire Hopes And The Strait Of Hormuz Reality

The news whiplash is real: one night ends with talk of a U.S. and Iran ceasefire extension and nuclear negotiations, then the morning brings fresh strikes, drones, and new uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz. We break down what that chokepoint means for oil prices, shipping, and everyday inflation, and we challenge the lazy “surrender vs victory” framing that overwhelms any serious look at enforcement, leverage, and incentives.

From there, we shift to something closer to home: why political messaging keeps failing. We make the case that leading with taxes, deficits, and spending cuts is a losing opener for a lot of voters, especially younger ones, and we argue for a simpler pitch built around quality of life. Clean streets, functional services, faster permits, real law and order, and solutions people can actually feel beat abstract budget talk every time. We pull examples from city politics and “sell the dream” campaigns to show how the marketing war shapes outcomes long before policy details land.

Then we go big picture: AI automation and the claim that work could become optional. What happens to retirement planning, purpose, and independence if universal basic income becomes the default answer? That leads straight into digital assets, stablecoins, CBDCs, privacy, and why Bitcoin self-custody keeps coming up as the fork in the road between personal sovereignty and a programmable money control grid. We close by zooming north to Canada and why U.S. Canada relations, trade, and CCP infiltration worries are becoming a serious security conversation.

Welcome Peasants And Housekeeping

SPEAKER_20 0:07

And when they went to the green!

SPEAKER_36 0:12

Do you know what's the fuck?

SPEAKER_22 0:22

Everything we're getting screwed. It's a little gun. Peasants, man. We're just peasants. Every one of us. You watch those old movies, you see the peasants in the background with the kings and kings walking around. We're those people. We're those people. Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. And okay, they're they're loading in. I was like, I made it through all the way through the intro. Chantini said good morning, but she didn't show up on the uh the view ticker, the view counter. Who knows what was going on there? Good morning, good morning. Glad you guys made it. I know why you guys get bright up, get up bright and early to sit with us to listen. It's for the simultaneous set, but I have a request this morning, folks. Oh, and I'm gonna have to mention it a couple times until I see a new name in the chats. Uh oh. We've got a pimp for chats. We are one unique chatter short of reaching the goal for this month. So we need you to those that listen, that are not chatting, to chat in, chime in and say hello. Marizzo headed to Greek Easter. Is it Greek Easter already? Holy smokes. The years just fly by. But we are still here living in Meridian. After the wind yesterday, we are looking for friends. Oh, was it a big windstorm yesterday? Didn't even know. Didn't even leave my house. Stayed in the basement all day long. Shantini, ha ha ha. Uh you called her Burgermeister.

SPEAKER_19 2:03

What do uh Greek Easter eggs look like?

SPEAKER_22 2:06

Greek Easter eggs? They look like rocks in the desert of Utah. That's kind of not special at all. My family for years and years, obviously, you know, with a last name like Jonathan. It's like, oh, that's a little bit little bit of Greek in you. So we celebrate Greek Easter, which is based on the lunar calendar out in the desert of Utah. It's basically a uh bunch of Mormons to get together and you know cook a lamb. That's basically what opposed them to. It's a pretty fun little holiday. When I was a kid, we used to take the dirt bikes out there and ride around the desert, but it's like a 20-hour drive for me to go. So I haven't been in years. John Atakis on YouTube was just less than 70 miles per hour. Highest in May Poise. Wow. Wow. That's like that's like hardcore wind. I mean, that's like sticking your head out of the car on the highway.

SPEAKER_19 2:56

Yeah, no thanks.

SPEAKER_22 2:57

All right, guys. So we are pimping for chats. Can't forget that. Pimping for chats. We need one more unique chatter this month. But let's go ahead and get started with the simultaneous

The Simultaneous Sip Ritual

SPEAKER_22 3:06

sip. And all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice of stein, a canteen, a jug, or a 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 all right, and it's the simultaneous sip. And it starts right now. You know what's funny? I had the sound all set up and I switched it back because we were early. All right, we're gonna do the simultaneous sip. Give me just a second. All right, back to the simultaneous sip, and it starts right now.

Trudeau Castro Rumor Breakdown

SPEAKER_03 3:44

For years we've heard rumors that Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister of Canada, could be your half-brother. What do you think of that?

SPEAKER_01 3:51

I uh the only thing I can say is that his mother used to visit the country very often.

SPEAKER_03 3:56

Well, that may be a tell then. I guess uh that's a half answer. Yeah. Do you plan to call him and maybe find out?

SPEAKER_26 4:04

No, no. Uh I I I I won't do it. If he wants, he's gonna be welcome, but I won't. I won't.

SPEAKER_22 4:11

I think he keeps that to himself, and you have to respect that. Have you heard this rumor before that Fidel that that uh Justin Trudeau is Fidel Castro's son? No, you haven't heard this? No. Oh my gosh, this has made it into the high circles. I mean, people like like uh I think Tim Burkhart and a few others have mentioned this. Oh, so so Fidel Castro's mistress was uh Justin Trudeau's mother. Okay, so she went down to Cuba frequently. She was married to kind of a uh, I don't know how to describe them, kind of like a loosey-goosey man with his morals up in Canada. I can't remember Peter Peter Peter Trudeau. And they were known to have kind of an open marriage.

SPEAKER_19 4:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_22 4:55

So, anyways, she went down, spent a lot of time with Fidel Castro, those photographs of her being close and sitting next to each other, and you know, the the classic old-time. I haven't seen any of them. Well, anyways, it's very suspicious when you look at a calendar and you look at his birthday that he is likely Fidel Castro's son. And uh here on the on the on the video here, you see the image, the side-by-side face of the two. Oh, I see it. Pretty hard to deny. It's pretty, pretty tough hard to deny. So the parents of Canada might very well be the child of a communist. Hardcore communist, too, by the way. Pony boy, good morning, glad you made it. Okay, guys, again, I'm still pimping for chats. So all of you that are listening live, if you haven't posted, you need to post. Find a friend. Yeah, Ron,

Blue Origin Launch Platform Disaster

SPEAKER_22 5:42

did you see the the big huge rocket explosion yesterday? No. Oh, this was huge, and this was here in the United States. Oh, yeah, let's take a look at this. This is silent for those of you audio listeners.

SPEAKER_06 5:56

Here we go.

SPEAKER_22 5:57

Look at this thing take off. Holy smack.

SPEAKER_19 6:02

I don't think it got off the ground one inch.

SPEAKER_18 6:07

The shrapnel did.

SPEAKER_22 6:08

Look at the shrapnel fall. Holy cow. I know. So did you hear about this at all? No. So for those of you auto-listening, we're watching a massive explosion where there was a rocket about to take off. Yeah.

SPEAKER_19 6:22

Do you think this was one of Elon Musk's rockets? Uh, it didn't look like the platform or the rocket or anything like the SpaceX stuff I've seen.

SPEAKER_22 6:31

No, this is Jeff Bezos' rocket. This is the Blue Origin, whatever which one, whichever one it is. So the significance of this is this completely uh destroys Jeff Bezos' launch platform. So this is like this sets them back a long time. Oh no. Like years. But massive fireball there. Holy smokes. Oh, who is GRPAzer? GR that's grandpa Pazer hearing you in Sandy. We are also getting ready and we'll miss you at Greek Easter and Brent, Utah area. Oh, I wish I could, I wish I could go. Not unique. But you know, I gotta do the show every morning, Ron. They're not unique. Can't break away from the show. All right.

Iran Ceasefire Talk Meets Reality

SPEAKER_22 7:14

So, Iran updates. We went to bed last night with some amazing news.

SPEAKER_26 7:19

Through sources confirming the U.S. and Iran have reached a deal to extend the ceasefire and launch negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. It's believed to be the most significant diplomatic development since this war began three months ago today. And that's where we kick things off at this new hour. Hello and welcome everyone. I'm Sandra Smith in New York. John, good to be with you.

SPEAKER_06 7:39

Good to be with you as well, Sandra. I think the devil will be in the details, though. I'm John Roberts in Washington. This is America Reports. The 60-day memorandum of understanding is still awaiting final approval from President Trump. If it is signed off on by the president, the Strait of Hormuz would be, quote, unrestricted. The American blockade would be lifted, and the U.S. will commit to discuss sanctions relief and the release of frozen Iranian funds.

SPEAKER_26 8:02

Molly Hemingway and former Deputy Centcom Commander Mark Fox are here on this breaking news.

SPEAKER_06 8:07

But first, let's go to our Trey Yangst. He is live in Tel Aviv with more. What are you hearing over there, Trey?

unknown 8:12

Hey.

SPEAKER_33 8:13

Yeah, John, good afternoon. U.S. officials confirming to Fox News that American and Iranian negotiators have reached a 60-day ceasefire extension, a memorandum of understanding. The question now is whether or not President Trump and Iran's Supreme Leader, Mustaba Khamenae, will sign off to move this deal forward. As part of the current framework, we are told this would extend the ceasefire and open the Strait of Hormuz. The issue of Iran's nuclear program would be pushed down the road. And already we're starting to see a splinter in the positions, at least announced by Iranian state media and announced by President Trump. You'll remember yesterday, during that cabinet meeting, the president said he would not be comfortable with Iran exporting their highly enriched uranium to a third-party country like China or Russia. We do know a top Pakistani diplomat is expected in Washington tomorrow. Some of these finer details will likely be worked out in the days and weeks ahead. But as you said, John, the devil here is the details. Because when we look at a situation like this, we have been here before only to see the Iranians step back at the negotiating table and try to drag things out longer. The other question has to do with enforcement and where President Trump stands in terms of actually enforcing some sort of agreement. All right.

SPEAKER_22 9:28

So we went to bed last night with a trade, a peace deal on the horizon, which sounded really good. Wow. And oil futures dropped. Oil oil was trading down below $88 a barrel yesterday. I think it got down close to 85, which is good, right? Good news. Price goes down. That's great. Um GR Prazer, guess what? He hit it. He he was the one missing this month.

SPEAKER_19 9:52

He was the one missing.

SPEAKER_22 9:53

So no more pimping for chats. At this point, if you're chatting, you're just showing off. Okay. We need you again next month. We need everybody to pile in on Monday, fill up the chats, then we don't have to worry about it. I thought for sure we'd be good. I thought we were past this. Six months ago, we stopped pimping for chats. Here we are back doing it again. Okay, so we went to bed with good news on the Iran front, and we woke up this morning with not just a Blue Horizon rocket exploding, but rockets landing or heading all over the Middle East.

SPEAKER_33 10:24

Yeah, hey guys, good morning. In exchange of fire overnight, after Iran launched drones toward a commercial vessel attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Centcom says at least five one-way attack drones were spotted and then shot down in this area. A U.S. strike was then conducted against a control station near the city of Bandar Abbas that was about to launch another drone. In response, the Iranians launched a drone and ballistic missile attack against Kuwait, targeting a U.S. base there, according to Iran's IRGC. The Kuwaitis confirmed an attack on their territory that triggered sirens and alerts. CENTCOM released a statement saying U.S. Central Command and regional partners remain vigilant and measured as we continue to defend our forces and interests from unjustified Iranian aggression. The exchange of fire comes amid efforts to reach a deal between the United States and Iran. President Trump spoke from the White House on Wednesday saying he would only accept a great deal and that he would not be comfortable with Iran exporting their highly enriched uranium to China or Russia.

SPEAKER_02 11:32

But we will be. We will be either that or we'll have to just finish the job.

SPEAKER_28 12:07

Only to be hit here.

SPEAKER_33 12:22

An indication there may be another bombing campaign against southern Lebanon in the minutes ahead.

SPEAKER_22 12:27

Guys, uh Trey, thanks so much. At the end there, they're like, oh well, thanks. Last night we went to bed thinking there was a peace deal on the table. And we wake up with bombs going off everywhere. Iran is still doing their thing. And wow, we're even sparking it off in Lebanon again. So I don't know if that peace deal is gonna stick. I don't know about that. I'll tell you, when Israel says a targeted assassination and they just hit like the whole apartment building and it's like collateral damage is what collateral damage is. It's pretty rough.

SPEAKER_19 12:58

Well, it was targeted, I guess. Yeah.

SPEAKER_22 13:02

So um Senator Moulton.

Is Diplomacy A Surrender Document

SPEAKER_22 13:04

Senator Moulton is one of these, he's he's got a really deep infection of TDS, right? Like nothing Trump does can ever be good. And so here, again, right, it's like just see with your eyes. Okay, Iran has one card to play, the Strait of Hormoots. And basically they have a de facto vote in whether the strait is open or not, because for very low costs, they can shoot some machine guns or drop some mines or launch a shoulder-fired missile at a boat as it passes through the Strait of Hormoots. It's not a very thick waterway where the boats can get out of range from shore. The United States also has a default move. They can block everything coming in and out as well. So you kind of have a double blockade going on here. But in no other aspect that I can assess do I see any way in which Iran is matching up to the United States in military might. Obviously, their Navy hasn't taken out any of our boats. We've taken out, what, 150 plus of their boats, taken out most of their launchers?

SPEAKER_19 14:09

They want to press the issue and start sending boats out. They're not going anywhere.

SPEAKER_22 14:12

They're not going anywhere. Yeah. So we're at a spot where it's just complete and total domination. But yet, Senator Mullins, he feels like we are surrendering to Iran.

SPEAKER_25 14:22

It's good to see you. Thanks for being here. Do you believe that this agreement, this MOU, would be a breakthrough?

SPEAKER_29 14:29

Let's just be clear, Kate. This is not a deal. It's a surrender document. And Trump, who started this war with no plan to win it, no plan to end it, and demanded Iran's unconditional surrender, now seems to be negotiating America's unconditional surrender.

SPEAKER_22 14:45

Does he not have just crazy eyes? Look at his eyes. He's got like crazy eyes.

SPEAKER_19 14:49

Yeah, who's he even talking to?

SPEAKER_22 14:51

I don't know. 10% of America?

SPEAKER_19 14:54

I don't know. This is a loss across the board.

SPEAKER_22 14:57

This is a loss across the board.

SPEAKER_29 14:58

Okay.

SPEAKER_22 14:59

Jeez. Okay, so this is this is Stephen Smith yesterday on Jesse Waters describing the full situation

Why Media Questions Feel Useless

SPEAKER_22 15:08

here.

SPEAKER_14 15:08

The Iran nuclear deal, the so-called JCPOA, Iran was on a guaranteed path to a nuclear weapon, to being the dominant power in the region, to being the richest and most militarily threatening nation in the entire Middle East, with the ability to launch ballistic and ultimately nuclear weapons to Europe and eventually the United States. Now, because of President Trump, their economy has been dismantled, their nuclear program under Operation Midnight Hammer has been obliterated. Their entire defense industrial base has been eradicated. Their Navy's at the bottom of the sea, their Air Force at the bottom of the sea, their entire leadership class has been decapitated. It is the most complete, thorough, total military thrashing in the history of armed conflict. Four weeks in a country decimated to that degree, to that extent. And now here we are at the end of that with the Ram putting on the table, a complete reopening of the strait, as has been discussed, and many other concessions that are going to be unveiled in the time to come. But again, there's no deal until there's a deal. Nothing's final until it's final. And President Trump's been clear that he reserves the option now or at any time in the future to do whatever is necessary to defend and protect America's national security. All right.

SPEAKER_22 16:31

So it doesn't sound to me like we're surrendering to Iran. Yeah. Notice, notice in the Zeitgeist, this is where we've gotten, right? If anything Trump does, whether he goes into a further attack, oh, he's going against his base, he's doing what he said he wouldn't do. Or if we get a peaceful resolution and we get a peace still out of this, oh, it wasn't a complete and total surrender, it wasn't a total capitulation. Right. There's nothing, there's nothing Trump is going to do that's going to make the left, those that have a deep rooted TDS infection, you know, the snake bite festered, nobody put on a tourniquet, the spread into the brain. Okay. You've got a deep TDS infection. There's just absolutely nothing that Trump's going to be able to do. I think that's it. The the actual narrative is Iran had become the biggest, baddest actor in the Middle East. And as a bully, they were bullying around the other countries, and they were going to hide a nuclear program behind a wall of missiles and drones that nobody would really be able to deal with. So there was a closing window of time where you could kind of get them before they got so much that you couldn't overwhelm them, that you would need all of NATO's resources and all the Middle East's resources and a huge loss of life. You wouldn't, you wouldn't be able to defend the USS Abraham Lincoln at some point. And so the fact that he went in and did it speaks a lot about his resolve to solve these huge generational problems. Because remember, this is my entire life. 47 years. That's actually longer than I've been alive. So for 47 years, Iran has been chanting death to America and fomenting terror plots all around the world and supporting dictat dictatorships in communist countries that have intention to take down the United States and her constitution. And so it makes perfect sense to me that someone like Donald Trump specifically would be the one to do this. And how lucky are we that he got this in a second term and that he's not concerned about the politics of the midterms? Because any other president would be over, overly concerned about the midterms. And I think we have good reason to be concerned about the midterms. Obviously, you have the media narrative. That's going to suck up some real true living voters to vote against their self-interest to some degree. But also, you've got the potential for hanky panky in the election. So Trump's fighting on all fronts. Not only is he fighting the Iranians over there, so we don't have to fight them over here, but he's also fighting uh sympathizers like Senator Mullen over here, who's saying, Well, this is just a big surrender. Oh, by the way, don't do anything to secure the elections. You know, like on both sides of their throat.

SPEAKER_19 19:13

It does feel like Trump knows what's more important and what he needs to focus energy on. And it and and and that seems like it's a very good signal to people like you and I that, you know, we are focusing on the right or attention on the right things.

SPEAKER_22 19:28

I think so too. He had an interview with his daughter-in-law, Laura Laura Trump, Lara, Lara, Laura Trump. And he said that he said this that he doesn't take into account the political considerations here. He's got to do what's right for the country.

SPEAKER_00 19:42

You have consistently been willing to do the hard things, the the things that your predecessor said should have been done, but they didn't have the guts to do them.

SPEAKER_37 19:51

So yeah, really a very small window. So if you wanted to play that game, then you would wait till the midterms are over, and then the following hour you'll attack Iran because they cannot have a nuclear weapon. Most people agree with me on that. But then it gets maybe carried into you know the next election, whether it's a midterm or not. So you have a very short window for doing some anything having to do with war. But I don't view that window. I view it I have to do what's right.

SPEAKER_22 20:18

So with that, let's bring it. He views it as something where he just has to do what's right. And obviously, in episodes past, we've covered some of his statements over the last 40 years talking about Iran. So it's not like a new thing. Anybody who is a Trump fan and has followed him to any degree know that of all the we're not gonna start new wars, the one the one card that was always on the table was Iran. If Trump starts a war, it'll be with Iran, right? But then again, that's been every president we've had that we're gonna start a war with Iran. Alex Jones has bucked against this for 20 years now. Every time the Bilderberg group meets, he's they're getting there deciding if they're gonna go with the war with Iran this year or not. Right? So Iran has been a big problem for every American president, but the politics of two-year election cycles make it impossible. Don't want to start a war right at the beginning, you know, right when the midterms are heating up. Oh, don't want to start a war when you're trying to get the next guy in to preserve your legacy and you want your candidate to win, or oh, we don't, you know what I mean? It's like we have these short election cycles that prevent us from engaging in these long generational struggles to any significant degree. If anything characterizes the American international uh system, it's that we stretch until we snap, right? Like Iran stretched us and now we snapped overwhelming might. Hitler stretched us and then we showed up on D Day, right? Like we kind of have this tendency to once we go well in, we go all in. This is what the Japanese referred to when they said, I I'm afraid I'm afraid we've awakened a sleeping giant. Americas are slow to move, but when we get moving, it's hard to stop us. And it's been that way throughout history.

SPEAKER_19 21:58

Now a couple of Can I Can I just say something? Totally aside, you know. Um, oh shoot. Uh that cut with Laura Trump, Laura Trump, or whatever her name is. I apologize, people. I am like I don't know all of his kids. It's one of his kids, right? That's Eric Trump's wife. Okay. See. I don't know the Trump family that well.

SPEAKER_22 22:19

If anybody thinks we're like sick offense for Trump, like trust me, we're not. We're not running around like every day thinking about Trump's life. He's just, you know, a huge part of every day's news cycle.

SPEAKER_19 22:29

Right. But that clip where it was just her and Trump talking, it was like, hey, this is like a real interview. Like they're asking real questions, and he's not having to defend himself like politically, and he can answer a real question. I'm like, well, you know, this is real information. This is very refreshing to hear an actual interchange where it's not just a lot of political. Yeah. And you know, I'd I'd really like to have more of that. I really like the title of her show as well. It's my view instead of the view. You know, taking ownership of it. Uh-huh. And I thought that was really important just to point out real quick, because it'd be so nice to have some um you know, news journalists that were just, you know, looking for data to put out there that wasn't just political bullshit, you know. Even if it's stuff that you're like, oh, but he's she's pitching softballs. Yeah, but it's all information and it's good information. The more information you have, the better understanding you have of somebody, even if they're softballs. I would just really appreciate more journalists being like that.

SPEAKER_22 23:35

Well, just the insight of him to say, listen, you have a short window of time to do this, and normally you wouldn't do it up until the midterms. Just understanding that. It's like, okay, I can see how you want to make sure this is wrapped up on your watch. And so you need the extra year, right? Oh, it's gonna, it's gonna be resolved in six weeks. Well, we're past six weeks. Can we get it resolved before he leaves office?

SPEAKER_19 23:56

I'm not even talking about just the points that they were talking about, I'm talking about just in general. In general.

SPEAKER_22 24:03

You know, it's been interesting having Lindell TV in the White House press briefing room. Some of the best questions come from Lindell TV. Every now and then, Peter Ducey at Fox News. You know, they ask questions that the base wants to hear the answers to, and they don't set them up with this long premise where they then have to defend the premise or reset the premise to answer the questions.

SPEAKER_19 24:23

Exactly what I'm talking about. 90% of all the journalists that do this bullshit, and it is a waste of time.

SPEAKER_22 24:30

And the thing is, is Americans are smart, right? Even your kind of redneck hailbelly that just occasionally follows politics. Americans are good at spotting bullshitters, right? It's just it's the wild west, right? Like the the free market commercial enterprise, like eventually you get a sense of I don't want to buy from the snake oil salesman. Like that's a mistake you make when you're 21. That's not a mistake you make when you're 45.

SPEAKER_19 24:56

It kind of feels like they do it on purpose, though, to try to like just beat down people who want to watch the news. Eventually, people just get tired of watching it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_22 25:05

So here's this caller that called into C-SPAN. And I think that this is the every every man, or in this case, every woman. Anybody who's got kind of a rational mind on their shoulders has an infused sense of love of country. It doesn't even there are people who have no love of country. This has been indoctrinated into the younger generation. They don't respect the country and the flag

A C-SPAN Caller On Trump

SPEAKER_22 25:28

and the principles that this country is established by that are established by. It is sad. But for people who have a good head on their shoulders, they see in Donald Trump something different.

SPEAKER_07 25:38

I just wanted to let you know I've been a Republican all of my life. And before uh Donald Trump came along, I was mostly disappointed in every single politician I've ever seen or heard from. Uh with the exception of Reagan. Um I'm in my late 60s and retired. And uh Biden's four years was the worst I've ever seen this country in. And um Donald Trump is the first politician I have ever seen that actually did what he promised to do. Um he may be fought at every turn um by the media, by the Democrats, but at least he's out there fighting for the American people, which is all I've ever wanted. Um the things that he's trying to do for us, I think, are great. And um I I'm hoping that he continues to do what he's doing, and that the Republican Party continues to go forward with the type of politicians that we really need. That are gonna work towards what needs to be done. Amen.

SPEAKER_22 27:00

Amen. And he is facing a lot of headwinds with the media and with uh embedded forces inside of the government.

Ideology Inside DC Institutions

SPEAKER_22 27:08

So, for an example here, this was one of the DC attorneys that filed a bar complaint against uh Jeff Clark. Okay, so oversight project. They've been doing all this background checking on everybody. So you've got this guy, um so you've got this guy here commented on this quote here, and he's got a username, J-R-U-D-Y-E-S-Q. That's a squire, J. Rudy Esquire. Okay. And uh the quote here is I wish undergraduate and two graduate degrees I had I had and I had to become a Marxist on my own time, right? Universities have been indoctrinating kids in Marxism, which is inherently violent. These useful idiots think they can destroy lives and businesses with impunity. People have had enough. And so this woman says, I had to become a Marxist on my own, and then this person here liked it, or whatever the case was. Point is when you go look up this username, it ties back to an email, which ties back to another email, which exposes this gentleman, Jason Hurrell, here. Jason Hurrell is one of the DC disciplinary bar councils, lawyers, that has now deleted that ex-burner account, but it that ex-burner account was full of likes for Marxists and you know what we would consider not American type stuff. That's deeply embedded in the system, right? Deeply embedded in the system, which is also one of the reasons why Trump has met so much resistance in going after the narco-terrorist communists in our Western hemisphere. Started out with Nicholas Maduro, the left kind of lost their mind, but there's not a lot of defense there. There's not a lot you can do. Look, he was indicted under Joe Biden, they put 25 million on his head, Trump upped it to 50 million. Someone's gonna go get him, right? It makes sense. But Raul Castro, now he's the newbie. Now you got to remember the old guard of communists in our country, where did they look for inspiration? Cuba. They looked to Cuba, they didn't look to Venezuela. That's it recent, that's in the last 20 years. But Cuba's been doing this our whole lives, and so you've got Cuban operatives or people influenced by Cuban operatives spread all throughout the government. We just know this, right? Like Karen Bass was training with the Cubans in the 1980s. Has Cuba changed? Has Karen Bass changed? Probably not that much. You know, kind of you can kind of see it. They put on the chameleon face, right, to run for office in America. But at the end of the day, are you gonna turn down your first principles? Now, if Karen Bass came out and said, Yep, in my younger years, I uh went to Cuba, I got trained, and I saw how horrible it was, and we're not gonna implement any socialist policies. In fact, I'm gonna fight against it openly.

SPEAKER_19 29:45

God bless America.

SPEAKER_22 29:46

God bless America, exactly. Okay, great, we'll take you as you are, but instead, you deny that you ever did it, pretend like it never happened, and you continue to funnel money to government agencies and branches, and it never makes it to the people. Looks like a communist, right? Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, squawks like a duck, it's a frickin' duck. Okay. So indicting Raul Castro is a significant step in kind of cutting the head off the snake, destroying that support structure because he is, while he doesn't run the country anymore, he is a symbolic pillar of international Marxism and communism.

SPEAKER_15 30:21

For Mr.

Why Indict Castro At All

SPEAKER_15 30:22

Castro, like anybody that's indicted outside this country, which we do all the time, the goal of the indictment isn't just the paper it's printed on, it's to bring the person charged into this country in a court of law and have them face justice. And how we do that, I mean, Maduro is an extreme example that that happened on January 1st. But how we do that normally is extradition. It's working with our international partners. And and so I said this that the day of the indictment when we unsealed the indictment, but we didn't do this for a show indictment. We did this because we because we we we really need Castro here to face charges. Um he was indicted again um by a by a grand jury in in Miami, and and that's where he should be tried. Uh, and we're gonna do everything we can to get him here. For Mr.

SPEAKER_22 31:04

Castro, like anybody that can to get him here. Now, one thing's Republicans do that is a mistake that the communists figured out a long time ago that if they don't do this, they can get people to agree to almost anything they want, and that is leading with money.

Conservatives Should Quit Leading Money

SPEAKER_20 31:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_22 31:20

Okay. So this is right out of the manuscript that you can download at politicalremodel.com. And I really encourage everybody to download this. It's incredibly important for us to change the Republican Party and change politics in our country. It starts with we the people, it starts with us, right? We have to impose ourselves onto the party that selects the people that are that are going to be elected, which by the way, this week on Monday in the Kitsap County Republican Party meeting, KC, KCRP, we are going to be hearing from all the candidates that are putting their names on the ballot. So I got a schedule of the meeting, and I want to say there's 15, 20 candidates that are going to be showing up. If you are in Kitsap County, you need to be at this meeting. This is the selection committee. This is the chance where you get to ask candidates questions behind closed doors. There's probably going to be a video camera before they get on the ballot. Before they get on the ballot. Okay. These are all people that have put their hat in the ring, they're out campaigning, they're looking for your endorsement. They're looking for your support to go knock doors for them to generate votes. Monday, 6 p.m. in Kittsap County is going to be that meeting. You should be there. Ron, you should be there.

SPEAKER_21 32:30

Yep.

SPEAKER_22 32:31

Okay. So the thing we need to stop doing as Republicans is we have to stop leading with money. Let's start the mess. Let's start with the messaging bubble. One of the biggest changes we need to make is this. We need to stop leading with money and taxes. These are these are two of conservatives' favorite subjects. Why? Because it touches everything. But government spending, taxes, debt, waste, and deficits, those topics dominate conservative discussions. Now, to be clear, those are important issues. Out-of-control government spending is a major threat to the future of our country. But here is the problem it does not emotionally resonate with the voters, especially younger generations. It's easy to sit and talk on AM radio where your average audience is over 60 years old, right? All day long and talk about the budget because by the time you're in your 30s and 40s, you realize you didn't get into it for the money, but it's all about the money, right?

SPEAKER_19 33:23

Right. But if you're 20, you're disconnected from property taxes for sure.

SPEAKER_22 33:26

Yes. Now I have made the comparison that there's two worlds. There's the world under 40 years old, and there's a world over 40 years old. Many younger Americans have grown up in a world where debt, deficits, and government dependency are simply part of the landscape. They do not react to these topics the same way older conservatives do. Worse, our constant focus on money can make us sound like Scrooges, people who only care about keeping more of our own money and cutting everything else. And if you listen to some libertarian-influence commentators, they will probably tell you that is exactly their goal, like the massies of the world. Cut everything. Let me be clear. Quoting Ayn Rand and anarchist theory is not a winning mass market political strategy. Although I do love me some Ayn Rand. Yes, we are going to reduce government spending dramatically. Yes, we are going to eliminate waste. Yes, we should eventually remove government debt entirely, but we need to stop leading with that. Instead, we need to start talking about something more powerful. We need to talk about creating a better society. This is what the Democrats do so well. This is the conversation that inspires people. This is the conversation that reaches both the heart and the mind. This is the conversation that connects what most people actually want: freedom, prosperity, security, opportunity, a better life for themselves and their children. That is the conversation we would be we should be having. Because every Marxist ideology, every communist ideology eventually does run up to the wall of money. They sold a thing that they can't pay for. But as long as they keep selling the thing, eventually people will start saying, well, someone's got to pay for it. Let's get a rich billionaire in here. Let's find somebody. And that's exactly what has happened to Mandami up in New York. If

Democrats Win By Selling The Dream

SPEAKER_22 35:10

you remember, a week, a week and a half ago, he went banging his tin cup to all the rich billionaires in America. He went and visited Jamie Diamond. He went and visited, you know, Goldman Sachs and a bunch of these places. Please don't send your high-paying jobs elsewhere. We just need a little more of their tax money to pay for the free buses and free child care. Yeah, exactly. So Jamie Diamond was on with Maria Bartolomo and he kind of reported on this meeting he had with Mandami in New York.

SPEAKER_23 35:34

I think good policy is free. I feel like telling the politicians, don't try to raise more taxes or spend more money. Sit down and fix policy. And I think you can grow 1% faster. I literally believe that. And you and the pop the public knows you can't get certificates of occupancy. You can't get roads built.

SPEAKER_05 35:52

The bridges regulation.

SPEAKER_23 35:54

The Baltimore bridge was supposed to be built by now. It's another five years. I go on and on and on. We've been talking about this for so long. It's frustrating, it hurts, it's embarrassing, and it always hurts the civilians of our country. And so uh so I had a great meeting with Madame, meaning it's pleasant. Uh you know, but I said everything I want to say. I've seen mayors grow into the job. I mean, he's running a city of 300,000 employees now. He's never had a job like that. I've seen mayors who just they fail abysmally because they they can't administer themselves out of a paper bag or they or or ideology blinds them to practical, realistic, real world uh policy. And so we'll see. And then you know, if I can help do the good stuff, I'd be happy to do that.

SPEAKER_05 36:34

Yeah, but Jamie, give me a break. He did a video in front of Ken Griffin's house. I mean, uh, you know, sure that's a security issue.

SPEAKER_23 36:41

I agree. I I my guess is he probably regrets that, but you gotta ask him that.

SPEAKER_22 36:46

Yeah. So Mandami, right, is at a point where he's trying to pay for all his free stuff, but he did the thing that conservatives failed to do. He sold the dream, he sold the quality of life issues, free healthcare, free buses, you know, free city grocery stores or what a discounted grocery stores or whatever, right? These are all things there was no there's no real world policy. What about law and order? What about broken windows theory of law enforcement? None of that, right? It was just he sold the dream. He did a better job of selling the dream than who was his Republican counterpart. We didn't have one. He was running against Cuomo.

SPEAKER_19 37:20

Well, it's really easy to sell stuff you can't pay for, you know.

SPEAKER_22 37:23

It's really easy to sell stuff you can't pay for. But if you follow the gospel of politics, according to Gary, that he has in the manuscript, to be effective, you cannot just trash your competition, although that can raise some media buzz. You must offer a better alternative. The stronger the alternative, the more likely you are to win. In business, I often teach what I call the separate and elevate strategy. This concept is simple. First, separate yourself from your competitors. If you look at the same, if you look the same, sound the same, and operate the same, the people have no compelling need to choose you. Second, elevate yourself above your competitors. You need to offer either a better product or a better service, or ideally both. Third, make sure your message actually appeals to your audience. That requires real research, real understanding of the people you are trying to reach. And at the end of the day, it does not matter how right you think you are, if you cannot win the marketing war, you lose. That is exactly where the Republican Party has felt. We have not made a compelling alternative to voters. You know who has made a compelling alternative to voters that's running

Spencer Pratt And Quality Of Life

SPEAKER_22 38:28

right now? Spencer Pratt in LA.

SPEAKER_19 38:30

Yeah. You know, what I would say about all this is that it would be really important to just run on position and policy and your, you know, let people understand what your moral background is and what you stand on. And if people agree with that, I don't think it matters, you know, what your specific policy on any one thing is. It just people need to understand who you are.

SPEAKER_22 38:52

Well, and here's the thing in a world where everything gets paid for, budget deficits, debt spending, nobody's worried about how you're gonna pay for something. The answer is obvious, it's written on the side of the barn there. Or taxes and inflation, okay? That's how everything's gonna get paid for. That's gonna happen no matter who. Accepting the premise, okay. We can we could spend a lot of time arguing about sound money and cutting government spending. But when we talk about covering government spending, the other side of that equation is what services are we going to cut? So Republicans will run on we're gonna cut government spending. And what the people hear is you're going to cut our services, are already stretched in services. Now, where Sprincer Pratt is genius is he is focusing on quality of life. Do you want to go get your matcha without stepping in human poop? Well, yeah, that would be nice. Would you like to enjoy your neighborhood without dodging 10th city in your front yard? Well, yeah, that would be nice. Would you like to get rid of the naked homeless people that are crapping on the streets and flashing your kids? Well, yeah, that would be nice. Do you care how we pay for that? Well, no, not really. We never asked the Democrats how they were going to pay for anything. Okay. He's selling the quality of life.

SPEAKER_20 40:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_22 40:01

Now, to the extent that he talks about money, it's almost always exclusively in the context of cutting out criminal activity and grift and corruption. Who disagrees with that? Well, we all agree with that, right? So he's done a really good job of selling the lifestyle of conservative politics. Clean streets, clean neighborhoods, water for the fire department, better law and order, you know what I mean, getting rid of criminal activity inside of the state itself. These are all lifestyle things that he's selling through conservative viewpoints. He's not focusing on saving money. Nobody cares in LA. That conversation was given up 25 years ago.

SPEAKER_19 40:41

Yeah, and he's not pimping for morality per se, but you do have an understanding of his principles through all of his media campaigns. And that's what I'm talking about. You need to understand the person and the principles.

SPEAKER_22 40:54

And what this has done is it's caused him to cause the mayor's race down in LA, which they do the jungle primaries, so the top two make the ballot. It's caused him to pull within striking different distance of the two Democrats, which probably means he'll end up on the ballot.

SPEAKER_32 41:09

You know, people always say, oh, he's a former reality star. No, he's a current one. He's talking reality right now, and he's starring, doing it. A new poll shows that incumbent Democrat Karen Bass holds only a statistically insignificant lead over Pratt and Socialist City Council member Nitya Brahman. Well, when it comes to the money game, records also show Pratt has raised nearly 10 times more cash than Mayor Bass over a four-week period, bringing in nearly three million dollars in that short time. Kayleigh.

SPEAKER_22 41:52

You know, people always And that's what it takes. And what did Trump do? The same thing Spencer Pratt did. He came in talking about solutions, build a wall, uh, you know, thing after policies, how to make your life better. He didn't just sit and focus on no new spending, no new taxes. Listen, Trump is gonna spend with the best of them. Okay. The difference is he's gonna direct that money to things that actually benefit your life.

SPEAKER_19 42:18

Every president has outspent the previous president. That's just the way it goes.

SPEAKER_22 42:21

It's just the way it goes, right? Invest in Bitcoin. Invest in Bitcoin, right? That's the only actual solution. But to the extent that the government still runs our lives and gives you permission to build on your property and building departments and stuff like that, solutions. You could run on we're gonna implement AI at the building department and you're gonna have building permit approvals in

Fix Permits With AI And Speed

SPEAKER_22 42:46

24 hours. Well, hold on a second. Well, now you're talking my language here. Yeah, I'm willing to pay a little extra money for the building permit. Think about this practical solutions. People who spend money on building can do that. Hold on.

SPEAKER_19 43:01

If I could get a building permit in 24 hours, I'd vote for anybody. I'd vote for Hillary.

SPEAKER_22 43:06

And why wouldn't we? Here's the thing, though. You could charge more for the building permit being issued in 24 hours because you save the 12 months of holding expenses that investors and builders and homeowners have to absorb while they wait for the building permit. So you could tack on 10 or 20% to the building permit with an instantaneous approval, and people would be happy to pay it.

SPEAKER_19 43:28

Yeah, this is always a topic. So bad people for better services. For uh projects that I've worked on, you know, anything that's over a couple million bucks, when we get close to the approval process, the owners start getting really antsy. And the reason is the burn rate. And people listening right now are gonna go, burn rate? What are you talking about? It's the amount of money, it's the carrying costs per month. And dude, developers they sweat over the burn rate. It's like every month is coming. Costing me 50 grand, 100 grand to sit here and do nothing.

SPEAKER_22 44:05

On my projects, we sit at about 12% interest on our private money. So it's a percent a month. So yeah, it starts to hurt. Holding time, that's eight thousand dollars per hundred grand. I might have two or three hundred grand borrowed out just to start the project. I'm paying three thousand dollars a month while I'm sitting there waiting for them to pick up my file and approve it.

SPEAKER_19 44:26

Right. So you said eight thousand dollars per hundred. It's a thousand dollars per hundred thousand. Okay, a thousand dollars per hundred thousand. So if you have a ten million dollar project, your burn rate is a hundred grand a month. That's what I'm talking about. And guess what?

SPEAKER_22 44:41

In the end, the that extra expense gets passed on.

SPEAKER_19 44:44

Well, hold on though. Also, what people need to understand is that that it adds no value, zero value. If you wait a month and spend an extra $100,000 on carrying costs, it it made the project better, not at all.

SPEAKER_22 44:59

But that's the point. But the cost will ultimately get passed on, and you didn't get the counter upgrade. Yes, you didn't get the nicer capital. Yes, you didn't get the nicer, thicker carpet. Yes. You've got the contractor grade everything, but you still paid a premium price because the county sucked it up by simply being slow. Exactly. By simply being slow. Again, you can run on solutions. Bring solutions. Don't tell me how you're gonna cut the budget. Tell me how you're gonna use the budget. How you how are you gonna make my life better? And this happens

Charlotte Relief Fund That Helped Nobody

SPEAKER_22 45:27

all over the place in North Carolina, technically a red state, right? They had a disaster relief problem uh situation when the ice protest, when the ice raids were going on in North Carolina, the city of Charlotte created a fund of $100,000. They took $100,000 of taxpayer dollars out of some fund they had and they dedicated it for victims, people who lost revenue due to the ice rates. Well, turns out nobody really qualified.

SPEAKER_35 45:58

Zero families helped by the $100,000 was the last thing they expected.

SPEAKER_01 46:04

You know, good for the initiative that can help uh some families. That is not enough. That is not that's absolutely insulting.

SPEAKER_35 46:15

Manolo Betancourt was on the front lines during Operation Charlotte's Webb. He says six months after customs and border protection came to the city, he, like so many others, is still struggling financially.

SPEAKER_01 46:28

We don't have money for next week. Next week I had to I have payroll, rent, and my credit card. Everything is to be paid.

SPEAKER_35 46:40

The city of Charlotte pledged $100,000 to households directly impacted by the operation. Jamila Espinoso with the Latin American Coalition tried to help people get the money they needed.

SPEAKER_11 46:52

We would receive families and then feed that information to crisis assistants, determine that these uh families were likely um eligible or had been affected during that period of time, and then they were the lead agency that would screen.

SPEAKER_35 47:05

The requirements you had to be a City of Charlotte resident, have a valid picture ID, and have valid social security documentation for the adult applying for funding. People also had to Okay, so think about this for a second.

SPEAKER_22 47:19

I'm sorry. Okay, the families that are dodging ice, and one of the requirements is they have to have a valid social security number. So why are they dodging ice?

SPEAKER_19 47:32

I don't know.

SPEAKER_22 47:34

And not only that, are you are you enabling people from evading law enforcement? Think about that for a second.

SPEAKER_19 47:42

Maybe that's why I'm really confused here.

SPEAKER_35 47:44

Yeah, we should be to meet the income eligibility requirement and fill out a form, attesting that the household experienced a loss of income while the operation was underway in November.

SPEAKER_11 47:55

When you're um really in need and you're in crisis mode, it's sometimes very difficult and challenging to document all the things that they are requiring you. Um and it just wasn't as accessible.

SPEAKER_35 48:06

In the end, the city of Charlotte says only three eligible households were identified and ended up receiving help from crisis assistance ministries. The $100,000 was redistributed to other housing initiatives.

SPEAKER_11 48:24

The Latin American Coalition, Arbridge did food drives because people were unable to leave their homes to go to work. And in tandem, then they could not even afford groceries.

SPEAKER_04 48:35

What we know is that a lot of the families that were in need were not eligible to part. Why were they not eligible?

SPEAKER_22 48:42

I can't figure this out. I mean, if I shows up to deport people without social security numbers, why would not why would the people with social security numbers be affected by it?

SPEAKER_19 48:52

I don't know.

SPEAKER_22 48:53

Why would they need the help? This is a great example of they didn't lead with the money. They led with the, hey, there's a crisis, there's families in need, let's set some money aside. Okay, nobody has a problem with the spending of the hundred grand, apparently. They had a problem with the suffering and they ran on that. So here's the here's the worst part. The solution is well, since we can't give it directly to the families, maybe we should give it to another organization that doesn't have to be accountable who the money goes to, like aka, you can't give tax dollars to non-citizens.

SPEAKER_35 49:29

City council member J.D. Meswera Arias had just been elected when the immigration operation began. He says there needs to be other options in place to help people if this ever happens again.

SPEAKER_04 49:41

I think if we had an office designated to international affairs, we wouldn't be seeing these issues. Um, particularly because we needed to identify, for me, what I would have done differently is not earmark the money for assistance to individual families, but earmark the money to the organizations, the legal 501c3s, 501c4s on the ground that were doing the work.

SPEAKER_35 50:06

Beton core, hopeful. The city makes some changes to truly make an impact in the future.

SPEAKER_01 50:12

We made a big mistake, a huge mistake. There's time to fix it, and there's time to do more, and we have sources to do more.

SPEAKER_22 50:19

Zero fees. So the one council member wants to give it to NGOs and let the NGOs do it. But what what happens when money goes to the NGOs, Ron?

SPEAKER_19 50:29

Ah, you just put it in your left front pocket.

SPEAKER_22 50:31

It just gets lost to the opacity of wherever they're sending them, right? Expose them, posted a free Yes, NATO, the high holy Freemason. That's a bit of our spirit investigation. Unique chatter. Woo-hoo! That's awesome.

NGO Transparency And Form 990 Rules

SPEAKER_22 50:46

Okay, so the money ends up going to the NGOs, and what happens to money at the NGOs, who knows? But we do know that some NGOs have been abused and their funding has gone to things like Black Lives Matter protests, the Antifa organization, and whatnot. Scott Bessant was asked about this, about NGOs if they're being investigated. And again, Trump waging an all-out war. Go change the policies. Go change the policies. Don't focus so much on the money, but the money will work itself out. What happened when they canceled all these fraudulent hospice care things? What did what did they say? Nobody called us. Nobody called us to renew the funding because they likely knew the funding was fraudulent to begin with. Exactly.

SPEAKER_19 51:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_22 51:31

So if you cut money off to the NGOs, so my wife runs Left Behind and Without, which I believe is classified as an NGO. It's a nonprofit. Okay. To my knowledge, not I'm not involved in any of the day-to-day like whatsoever. But to my knowledge, not one dollar that has gone into that has not gone to help kids, right? Except for like the money they spent on their little banner that they use for you know events. But to my knowledge, no money has gone out to payroll or anything like that. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. It's like a hundred bucks or something. It's not much. Okay. But if that, if her NGO got cut off from a stream of funding that was used, she'd make the phone call.

SPEAKER_19 52:10

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_22 52:10

Right? Because she's got the kids who are now not going to have dance lessons and whatnot. If you're an NGO and you're taking money and it gets cut off and you know it's going to nefarious purposes, are you going to call?

SPEAKER_19 52:22

No.

SPEAKER_24 52:23

I want to ask you about Antifa. Uh, in October, the Treasury Department started working with the FBI to investigate who's funding Antifa. Can you give us an update on that investigation? How close are you guys to finding out who's funding Antifa?

SPEAKER_31 52:37

It it is ongoing. We made substantial progress. And I think in the weeks and months ahead, we're going to have a lot to report. Uh, one thing that did go the underreported that I would point out to all of you is the IRS is now giving guidance on the form 990, which nonprofits they have to file. And we are going to encourage or demand that nonprofits know their grant recipients. So if a grant recipient is violent, if they are suppressing people's rights, then you are responsible for that. And I think that's a very good first step.

SPEAKER_22 53:17

I want to ask you about antique. And that's where you extend to that situation in North Carolina. If that council member had his way, he'd give it to the NGOs. Well, if the NGOs build out a 990 to be tax exempt, they're going to have to know where the money's going to. So it's not just, hey, if the money goes to violence, it's if the money goes to illegal aliens. Because the whole point of that money being set aside was to provide relief for the people that are running from ice. Well, the people who are running from ice likely don't have, you know, valid social security numbers. So how many of them could actually be affected? The answer is close to zero. Otherwise, you're just a baby, go to work. You have no reason to be afraid of ICE. So the answer that, well, we should give it to the NGOs. Why? Because then the NGOs can give it to the illegal recipients. Well, I have a feeling with what they just did to stop violence, NGO money being used for violence, would apply the exact same NGO money being given to individuals who would not otherwise qualify for federal aid. Because all you're doing is creating the middle band. You're paying them a cut to do what the government can't do, give it to illegal recipients.

SPEAKER_19 54:24

Precisely.

SPEAKER_22 54:25

Yep. Now, as conservatives, we have to lead with the message tax benefits only for people who are deserving. Benefits for only for people who are deserving. Benefits only for people who are deserving. Not we're going to cut money. Does it make sense? Yeah. It's simply we're going to clean up who gets the benefits so there's more benefits for those people. And all of a sudden, the people who can legally cast a ballot, if you clean that up, they're going to want to vote for the guy who says more benefits. If there's a bigger part of the pie, right? If social services are a scarce commodity and there's a there's a pie that's being cut up of the people's abundance, we have a certain amount that's been set aside to help the poor and the needy. But that pie gets bigger. Yeah. So we're not going to lower taxes, we're not going to do anything, but we're going to make sure only money to rightful benefits. The pie will get bigger for those of you that deserve it. Okay. Well, now we're talking populism. Yeah. Now we're now we're talking something you can get the young voters out before their head gets screwed on straight and they realize actually, let's talk about reducing the funding.

unknown 55:27

Okay.

AI Makes Work Optional Now What

SPEAKER_22 55:28

Another interesting thing, too, is we're at this divergence point in society. And I've thought a lot about this because sometimes you can get out on the front line of something or understanding something, and you see the future just around the corner. If you're Elon Musk or Jack Dorsey or any of these technologists, and you can see what robot, you know, there's a good chance Elon Musk already has his laundry folded by a robot, right? I mean, obviously Elon Musk hasn't driven a car for a while that's not self-driving or something. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And so they get kind of out in the front on technology, and they're like, it we're just around the corner, the whole world's gonna want to use this. Well, I got news for you. Not everybody in the world has an iPhone, not everybody in the world has a car yet, right? Not everybody in the world has taken a commercial flight. So it takes a while for full adoption. Obviously, enough of the world has adopted cell phones and computers that it's become a daily part of most of our lives. Obviously, if you're listening to this show, you're pretty versed with technology.

SPEAKER_19 56:25

You guys are early adopters.

SPEAKER_22 56:27

Yes. So it's hard to know. Is this like a five-year window, a 10-year window, a 20-year window, or is this like a hundred-year window? Is it going to take a hundred years, like commercial flights? It's taken a hundred years for it to become the mode of choice for long distance travel. And there are still people who have not traveled long distances and needed an airplane. But when Elon Musk gave this speech, and it was a little while ago, and he talked about saving for retirement, which is a huge concern for us peasants, right? How do we, how do we take our abundance today and preserve it into the future so that we can have it when we're not so abundant and our bodies are slowing down and we want to retire? How do we do that? Obviously, we've presented the solution of Bitcoin. But there's this other thing there too, is because in the current way the system works, with the advent of AI, I think that these people who say that things will become cheaper, and Jeff Bezos alluded to this too, AI will make everything cheaper. Okay. So it makes and Elon Musk's perspective is it will make things so cheap, saving for retirement is pointless.

SPEAKER_17 57:32

One like side recommendation I have is like don't worry about like squirreling money away for uh retirement in like 10 or 20 years, it won't matter. Okay. Either either we're not gonna be here or it it just uh like it's it's it's you you won't need to save for retirement. If and if any of the things that we've said are true, saving for retirement will be irrelevant.

SPEAKER_22 57:56

Why is that? Why would saving for retirement be irrelevant? What perspective is he talking about? Now he is he has also implied that we'll have universal high income, which is just universal basic income, but it has a better marketing pitch to it. This idea that the government will just pay you to buy the stuff that is now so cheap because of AI that you won't even need a job, we're just gonna pay you.

SPEAKER_19 58:20

Pretty soon politicians will be upping it every time and be like, I'm gonna give universal monster income.

SPEAKER_18 58:25

Universal monster income, yeah. Universal, big, beautiful universal income, exactly.

SPEAKER_22 58:31

So who knows where that's going. And and for many of us that are conservative, we're like, well, but what how would where would you get fulfillment? And how would you like how would the standard of trade be measured? And you know, what is one thing worth and another thing? Like it creates a lot of people.

SPEAKER_19 58:46

If if everybody's a billionaire, you know, what are we doing here?

SPEAKER_22 58:50

Yeah, now if your perspective when the car was invented, that you don't want them to be cheap because then the peasants will get them. Okay, I mean, I guess you could have that perspective. Bernie Sanders offers the other side of this coin, literally responding directly to Elon Musk with this idea of universal high income. And his premise, like I just looks into this and I think the premise.

SPEAKER_09 59:11

Elon Musk, you know, I don't like and disagree with on everything, it's not a dumb guy. And he says that work will become optional. That AI and robots will do everything that you need. My prediction is that work will be optional. Optional. Optional. Well, uh, if AI and robots do everything, work is optional, how do you survive? Oh, you're gonna get a check. Really? But there is no government because you're not paying any taxes, right? What happens to social security? What happens to Medicare and Medicaid?

SPEAKER_17 59:44

Money will stop being relevant at some point in the future.

SPEAKER_09 59:47

And who's gonna determine the check that you get? Really? How much are you gonna get? How much am I gonna get?

SPEAKER_17 59:51

I mean, it'll be like uh playing sports or a video game or something like that.

SPEAKER_08 59:55

It will destroy humanities, jobs of like you know, you went to an elite school and you studied philosophy. Use myself as an example. Um I did too. Yeah, you it hopefully you have some other skill.

SPEAKER_34 1:00:14

See a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water, and people buy it from us.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:23

You're at work right now. I am at work today. You know, God knows, over a hundred million Americans are at work. It's an important part of their lives. Deep down, we all want to contribute, whether a janitor or a brain surgeon, to our community, right? You know, you take it for granted, but you meet people at work, it's part of your life. Oh, guess what? In X number of years, you don't have to work. These disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. What are you gonna do? You're gonna sit around watching Elon Musk videos? Is that the meaning of life? Have we even begun to have that serious discussion?

SPEAKER_22 1:01:00

That's a good question. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump identify the same problems. Their solutions are different, but I'll tell you one thing that you can't deny. You go listen to a good old Bernie Sanders stump peep speech circa 2015-2016, and you go listen to a Trump Trump speech, and you can go down the bullet points of the problems. Their solutions were different, right? Where the solutions come from, Trump focuses on we'll make America great again, and you will lift yourself up and you will get better jobs and whatever. Bernie Sanders is like, we'll tax the billionaires and we'll give the money to you.

SPEAKER_19 1:01:36

The government will lift you up.

SPEAKER_22 1:01:38

The government will lift you up because we're benevolent. We want people to rule. Okay, so I disagree with Bernie Sanders' premise, but he's not wrong there. What what does this mean? AI will make labor irrelevant, make jobs irrelevant. You won't need to work, work will be a choice. Well, why would I choose to work if I'm not being compensated? Well, you'll do it for the love of the game. Yeah, that only goes so far. Okay, that only goes so far. So we've got this interesting fork in humanity that we're going to be going over over the next couple decades. It's probably not five years every job will be taken away, but we will incrementally see layoffs as AI takes more and more labor positions. And then those people will need to find some other way to contribute value, or they will get on the government teat. And that's that's what it boils down to. Either you become independent and find a way to stand on your own and be self-sustaining, both in in the value you generate and the money you accrue, or you go into the grid. You just become another cog to either be fed and paid for, or to work to feed and pay for the people who choose not to work. Right. You just become a cog in that wheel. So this next gentleman I'm going to introduce you to, this is uh Samuel DeWitt Dixon.

Bitcoin Self Custody Versus Control Grid

SPEAKER_22 1:02:53

Samuel uh excuse me, uh, Samuel Dixon. And he did a deep research onto Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel from the Epstein documents and all the connections they had with cryptocurrencies and crypto bros and all that kind of stuff. And he reveals something that's really fascinating here. And I think this ties into what the technocrats can see that we can't see. Bitcoin is for anyone, but it's not for everyone. Bitcoin will be the place where people who choose to work go. Because you can't you're not going to work without compensation. Okay. There's only so many people that are going to really work for the love of the game, so to speak. But in a world where you have universal basic high income, it's just like now the people who work for the love of the game, you know, decide to get high-paying jobs, they're stuck in the same rat race as everybody else. Inflation affects everybody the exact same, right? The only thing that doesn't affect you the exact same is the progressive income tax. But if you want to preserve your monopoly or your corporate, you know, duopoly or whatever, then you support that, right? Because you're the one that can pay the tax that then goes to pacify the lower classes that keep going to work at your factory. No better example of that than Walmart, right? Most people who work at Walmart are on public assistance, which acts as a subsidy for cheap labor. So the high income people can pay cheaper prices, meanwhile, the low-income people get compensated by the government based on the taxes that Walmart pays, allegedly, right? Really, Walmart doesn't pay him, it's all those middle class people that end up paying the bulk of it. So this gentleman here talks about cryptocurrency and he talks about the dollar. He kind of ties all this in together and he says something that is the same thing that we have put our finger on with us peasants, and that is Bitcoin is the thing they don't want you to own.

SPEAKER_12 1:04:45

I've traced the entire history of Epstein's interaction um with different uh developers and compromise networks that he tried to infiltrate with Peter Thiel in 2011 and beyond. To try to pull Bitcoin back into the fold? Yes. Yeah. Uh there were many ops, and I I would almost like to do a whole podcast on those different ops in Bitcoin because I was there and I saw them all and I saw what Brock Pierce tried to do.

SPEAKER_17 1:05:14

Um what did Brock Pierce try to do?

SPEAKER_12 1:05:17

Well, Brock Pierce, I think, was uh Epstein's guy in the digital currency space. Um and um he tried to persuade me that um Satoshi Nakamoto was Dr. Craig Wright. Um who's the guy that recently got a year in prison and I think Tosh reviewed it for pretending to be Satoshi. Um and he ended up being an essential part of creating an alternative version of Bitcoin. Um Brock Pears also was the co founder of a stablecoin called Tether. And Tether was later sold to a company called Bitfinex that I had invested in. Um and um that stablecoin tether was the gateway drug for central bank digital currencies. And when Bitcoin went open source, um there were several attempts to create alternative versions and fork it off and confuse the community into going to a more centralized version of Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Satoshi's vision. Um and I can trace back all the conversations and the developer that said that had all the credibility, Satoshi handed the key, you know, the development over to Gavin Andreessen. It was Gavin Andreessen that met with Dr. Craig Wright and said, This guy's cryptographically proven to me that he is Satoshi. And that was a lie. He hadn't. Like that led to these crypto market and VC funding. The crypto market, the stablecoin market, the central bank digital currency market is all a psyop. Venture capital funded, um, complete wealth extraction vehicle, um, complete degenerate gambling, um, ushering in a vital key by David Sachs, you know, who was introducing stable coin policies and Genius Act and all the programmable money that turns stable coins into programmable um police and surveillance grids in the Bank Secrecy Act and Genius Act and Patriot Act and Clarity Act now. They want you doing everything but using Bitcoin. And there were several operations, Operation Choke Point 2.0, various other things, which we could go through all of them in a in a different time if this is interest um interesting. There's too much to cover. Um you know, to take us to the stablecoin alternative crypto gambling world. Uh but Bitcoin in self-custody still exists where there's 25,000 nodes, there's a distributed supercomputer. In fact, interestingly, Iran is the largest sovereign uh Bitcoin miner in the world, powered by nuclear energy. Which was always what this was about. It was never a nuclear weapon, it was always nuclear energy. Everything's about energy. Um and we're resetting the world based upon energy right now. And what are they trying to do? They're trying to get you to own Bitcoin in a treasury company with Michael Saylor, they're trying to get you to own Bitcoin with BlackRock in an ETF, they're trying to get you to borrow against your Bitcoin through Canter Fitzgerald and Howard Lutnick connected to the Epstein network. Uh they're trying to get you to not own Bitcoin, to own crypto, to use stable coins, to use central bank digital currencies, to put it in a Wall Street wrapper, to put it in a debt wrapper. Because the last thing they want is for you to own Bitcoin in self-custody.

SPEAKER_22 1:09:13

And that's the fork. Elon Musk has said in the future, money will simply be energy. So if you can store energy, and that's what Bitcoin is, then you will have money in the future. If you can't store energy, all you have is a stable coin, a USDC, United States digital currency, which is pegged to a real world dollar, which they're still printing and creating through digital money, you know, and inflating away, but it expands the grid. You know, one of the top places for tether, Nigeria, because their economy is pretty much kaput. And so there's a huge demand for stable coins, American dollar stable coins in Nigeria. And they can transact peer-to-peer, but it also extends our money jurisdictional reach into the individual holders of those stable coins all around the world. It increases our control grid. So, on one hand, yes, we want America to control that market, because otherwise the Chinese will. Okay. And America will likely allow on-ramps and off-ramps for true money, Bitcoin. Because why? Because BlackRock's holding it, because Tesla holds it, because Michael Saylor holds it, because the United States Federal Reserve holds it. Does that make sense? But you want to hold what they're holding, not what they're printing, not what they're selling. So there's a huge fork in the road. And the entire crypto market is a soft on-ramp to a control grid. It will be a control grid, but because of the private industries that are involved, there will be certain protections and civil rights that are embedded in there. But one thing we've learned is the government doesn't respect our civil rights. So the last thing we want is an official USB C a or a CBDC, a central bank digital currency, right? We don't want the banks in charge of this. We want private corporations, which can act like banks for sure, but we want them, we want them to compete in a marketplace. That would be the difference in the American system versus the British system, where banks don't compete in a marketplace. Scott Bessant was asked about CBDCs.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:10

Digital

No CBDC Push Stablecoin Regulation

SPEAKER_10 1:11:11

currency. A lot of our viewers are increasingly worried that digital currency could one day be used to track people's spending or limit personal freedom. What's your philosophy on that? And what if safeguards is the Treasury and this administration putting in place to make sure new digital payment systems protect Americans' privacy and freedoms in the future?

SPEAKER_31 1:11:30

Well, so this administration has been very clear there will be no central bank digital currency, which I think the uh is would be the first step toward tracking. So we have taken that off the table. We passed stable coin legislation with bipartisan, and the Clarity Act is now up on the hill. I think it has bipartisan support. And the most important thing we can do is to make digital assets come into the United States, make the U.S. the home, our regulation, our best practices for what will ensure good standards for these. When you look at digital assets, all the nonsense that happens, all the things you read about, that's because it's the wild, wild west offshore. So we got to bring it on shore. So I would encourage the House and the Senate to get clarity done.

SPEAKER_22 1:12:18

Jack. And I am of the opinion that those things will be good for Bitcoin, if anything, because it separates them. Because right now, crypto can be the Wild West, but after the Clarity Act is passed, it won't be. It'll be it'll have its guardrails, clarity on regulation. But you know what? Bitcoin doesn't have any of that because it wouldn't respond, anyways. China's tried to shut down Bitcoin 20 times, doesn't matter. The United States has tried to crack down on Bitcoin dozens of times. Doesn't matter, right? It doesn't matter. Bitcoin doesn't care. In the future, money will be energy. And if you don't hold energy or the store of value that's that energy represents, Bitcoin, you're just gonna be another one of these people in the universal high income. You'll get whatever they say the robots can give you. That's what it's gonna boil down to. All right, another big piece of news, and we'll head into the weekend as far as public streaming goes on this

Tulsi Claims Foreign Election Interference

SPEAKER_22 1:13:13

news. Tulsi Gabbard, she's heading out the door, but she's about ready to burn down this deep state with her when she leaves.

SPEAKER_30 1:13:19

Tulsi's gonna go out in a blaze of glory uh in her final month because she will be able to release in succession some extraordinary evidence of foreign interference in our election in 2020 and since. Uh, the intelligence committee has known a lot more about active measures from China and Iran and other enemies that it did not make public. Instead, it gave a false intelligence committee, gave the Americans a false sugar pill saying that the 2020 election was the most secure in history. She will systematically destroy that narrative. Now, I think she'll be briefing senators soon on states whose voter databases were penetrated by China. That could move the needle on some of these senators voting for the Save America Act. Uh, I think there's a tranche of documents that Tulsi Gabbard needs from OMB. If you listen in Russell, pay attention to this. This is important. There is concern that Ukraine was involved in a 2024 scheme to take a large federal grant that was given to Ukraine and launder it back to the Biden 2024 campaign. We're not talking about hunter Biden drift in 2014. We're talking contemporaneously in 2024. The evidence of whether that occurred or not sits in OMB's files because OMB is currently running the U.S. Agency for International Development. If she can get those documents, she could make a criminal referral to the FBI. Thus far, she doesn't have those documents. So I hope Russ vote jumps into action pretty quickly. The third thing, so those are the those are the foreign interference things. You could have cheating, a U.S. taxpayer money going to Joe Biden's campaign. That's what the intercepts that we talked about a month ago showed. The proof of that, and I've even talked to some U.S. intelligence committee sources who are familiar with what they believe happened here. The proof of that is sitting in USAID records currently in Russ Vogt's possession. The second part of this is what the FBI is doing. Sometimes you don't uh get a mobster for being a mobster, you get them on taxes or you get them on some other violation. Uh, the election workers down at the state levels who changed the rules of election from what their legislatures mandated in Wisconsin, in Georgia, in Arizona, can be criminally prosecuted if they did so knowfully and willing. Meaning that the legislature said you should do X, but you ran the election this way because that's what you wanted to do. That is what the FBI is beginning to uh interview people day in and day out doing. And if they build enough evidence with these workers that instructions were given contrary to what the legislators' intent was, you will have a full-blown cheating scandal. The cheating will be they didn't conduct the election the way the law said. That's a little different than what people thought. It's not machines flipping votes, but it's still a form of cheating. It's still depriving the American public of a fair election. That's where the FBI is going. And yesterday there was a big win in North Carolina, isn't getting the attention it deserves. North Carolina bureaucrats in the election regime wanted to start registering people who had never set foot in California in North Carolina and didn't live in California, or excuse me, in um North Carolina. They wanted to give them voter registration status, even though they don't live in the state. A judge said that is ludicrous. But those are some of those bureaucratic deep state power moves that are cheating elections. A judge beat that back. Things like that went on in 2020, and that's what cash patels pursued.

SPEAKER_22 1:16:33

Your most precious piece of currency you have is your ballot. Oh my goodness. Facing the fork in the road we are as a as a civilization between the AI apocalypse and the uh the devaluation of your money, because universal high income just means everybody's broke.

SPEAKER_19 1:16:53

In a world uh and or on the topic of where I don't trust anybody anymore. Yeah,

Getting Criminals On Adjacent Charges

SPEAKER_19 1:16:58

uh, Mr. Solomon there mentioned the FBI's uh move going forward of uh, you know, sometimes you don't get them on this or that, you get them on tax evasion or something like that, right? I I don't know if I really like that. You know, why can't we for once just attack the problem head on instead of attacking it adjacent so that we can blame the adjacent topic 20 years from now instead of the actual thing that was the problem?

SPEAKER_22 1:17:23

I think the idea here is the underlying premise of America is you're innocent till proven guilty. Sure. That's the premise. Sure. And so in order to prove guilt, you have to go through a process. Sure. 14th Amendment equal process under the law. So the law says you got to get a warrant, which means you have to have a suspicion, you got to get a judge to sign off on a warrant. Then you present evidence to a grant. So this process there, there's other things that happen, like statute of limitations and and uh sometimes that evidence that you need, the smoking gun, well, it got thrown into the Potomac. You can't find it. It's just like it's just like Thomas Mancy's boner phones. There's the bottom of the Potomac River somewhere. Yeah, you can't find them. And so you got to go out and do like really difficult things to find it. But when somebody is at the point where they're committing election fraud, it's a good chance there's a bribe in their in their bank accounts. There's a good chance there's maybe some tax evasion based on those bribes.

SPEAKER_19 1:18:19

It's just that like 10 years from now, 20 years from now, I don't want the history books to say things like, well, so and so was caught for tax evasion and so-and-so. You know, those things never nobody ever reads them, nobody even cares. But if it was about election fraud, if somebody went to jail for election fraud, that would make it the history book.

SPEAKER_22 1:18:41

Yeah, I agree. I mean, when you look at Al Capone, they got him on tax evasion, not on murder. Right. But they got the murderer off the street, and everybody agrees with that. Sure. So depending on how notorious the crime is, maybe the crime screams through and they go, yeah, like James Comey. Yeah, look at all the things he did, and at the end of the day, you know what brought him down? A threat against the president. Right.

SPEAKER_19 1:19:00

So 20 years from now, are we gonna be talking about coup or are we gonna talk about a few people that went to jail for some just you know hate some NGO nonsense?

SPEAKER_22 1:19:08

Right. Yeah, who knows? That's a good point, Ron. Who knows? All right, guys, that's it for the public today. We are gonna jump over to private. You like how our shows are getting slightly shorter and shorter and shorter? I'm trying trying to get them down to like, you know, a little shorter. All right, guys, we're gonna jump over to private, and we're gonna be talking about Canada, the neighbor to the north. We'll talk to you guys in a second. Okay. So

Canada Britain Legacy And Meritocracy

SPEAKER_22 1:19:31

Canada is really unique culturally and socially, they're very similar to the United States. We come from the same breeding stock. We're for the most part, you know, we could absorb Canada as a 51st state. Most of us wouldn't notice a difference.

SPEAKER_19 1:19:44

Well, hold on. Canada apparently it's got some Cuban in them.

SPEAKER_22 1:19:50

Apparently, got some Cuban in them. Yeah, that's a good point. But there is a big difference between the United States and Canada, and it goes all the way back to 1776. There was an effort to try to bring Canada, right, into the fold as one of the colonies to fight against the British, but they remained loyal to the crown. And in fact, that was where a lot of loyalists ultimately fled to after the Revolutionary War was up into Canada. And Canada maintained a relationship with the monarch for up till now, right? They view themselves as subjects of the crown. Now they're a commonwealth, they're an independent nation, and you know, all the legal documents have been signed. But at the end of the day, if you're a judge in Canada, you're part of the king's court, right? You're supposed to enforce this British system that spread across the world during the height of the British British Empire. And that still persists to today. They do not have the same economic system that we do. And what I mean by that is the American economic system is a meritocracy, it is privately held capital. In the British system, even if you're a private British citizen and you hold capital, you're holding it essentially on behalf of the king. You're not really sovereign. He can come and take it, he can get it, it's his. Okay. Now, America has moved that direction in the last 130 years. And we talked about this when we were examining the political remodel document document on Saturday's episode of Take Back My Country County, TakeBackMyCounty.com to get involved in Take Back My County. We talked about the three forms of socialism. And that European socialism, that soft socialism, gives you the illusion of elections, but it's always the same oligarchs and technocrats and people that have the elite's blessing to rule. In America, it's not supposed to be that way, but that's where our leaders have been trying to take us. Well, Canada has also been a part of the British banking system, right? They've been a huge cog in that, and they've been kind of the gateway into the United States. And a lot of that is because we have a massive amount of trade with Canada, and we, the United States, has been propping up the British banking system around the world via the Briton Woods Agreement. And so Donald Trump is upending that order. As it was said in the clip earlier, the whole world order is being refocused around not money, which is what the Bretton Woods Agreement was around, who's going to have the reserve currency to do trade in. And it's being it's being re centered around energy. Who can produce energy and excess in order to create abundance and who can store energy via Bitcoin? It's a whole different world that's happening. It's it's recentering around this energy. Well, China and Canada have become quite the bedfellows over the last number

CCP In Canada And Border Risks

SPEAKER_22 1:22:32

of years. Canada has military outposts in the Arctic. They even have a military outpost here in the Pacific Northwest. The whole China did not put the import controls on things like Huawei that America did. It's I don't even know if I've ever seen Huawei electronics here in the United States. But up in Canada, apparently you can get Huawei electronics. And it's been this very unpleasant, uncozy relationship for those in the United States that want to maintain the American way of life and even bring it back and have a resurgence, MAGA, okay, with Canada. Now, when Trump came into office, Trudeau came down to meet with him because we were going to renegotiate our trade deals. And apparently, you know, he exposed to Donald Trump that that we essentially subsidize Canada $220 billion a year. And Trump goes, well, if you can't even survive on your own, like if a trade deal is going to destroy your country, you don't deserve to be a country. You should just be a state. Started calling uh Padel Castro's son Justin Trudeau, allegedly. Padel Castro's son allegedly, Justin Trudeau, uh, the governor of Canada. And then he even continued that on with Mark Carney, the new prime minister of Canada. Now, Mark Carney's background, he is a banker. He was living in Europe for years and years and years as a central banker. Is it any wonder that the central banker came back to run Canada? No, because why they're trying to maintain this British system and oppose this re-assurging American system that Trump is imposing. And this has caused huge issues. When Trump went to can't to China to have his little deal in Canada, they were having a meeting amongst the British banking loyalists in the different countries, and they said the new the world order is dead, we've got a plan for this new thing. How can we hang on? Essentially, you can tell the signs that the order is passing them by, that the fake fiat monetary system isn't going to continue with the British ultimately calling the shots with America being the muscle. That's gonna change. Doesn't mean we're going to abandon the fiat system entirely, okay, but it does mean that we're not gonna do their bidding anymore. Okay, that's that's a big difference. So from American Thought Leaders, Epic Times, this is Jank. Uh Jank, I can't remember his last name. America Need Canada. I can't remember his last name. Uh Jank, uh Jan Jekillick, I can't say his name. He was interviewing this expert on Canadian American relations and how China has gotten way too cozy with Canada.

SPEAKER_13 1:25:05

Does America need Canada? Well, I would I would say that yes, absolutely. United States needs Canada. And the main reason is that without Canada, Canada, Canada's infiltration by the CCP is not something the United States wants on its border. So absolutely, Canada is essential for the United States in defense of the continent. Without it, the CCP comes in, increases the threat level, and becomes an existential threat. They're not an existential threat now. I I believe that that's a growing threat. I think that um beyond kinetic, in a hybrid war sense, absolutely are a threat. However, should uh Canada take further steps with the the CCP, we don't know where that could go. Um, you know, from Chinese boots on the ground to uh munitions to um that military type support, that's a bigger concern, I think, for the United States than the hybrid warfare piece is at this moment. It's been building for the last 30 years. You know, the United States has recognized that the CCP is infiltrating Canada and that threat level has increased substantially. It's only been recently that the U.S. administration has taken steps to identify it and call Canada out and say you need to fix what's going on in your country because we're worried about you. And that's where the the concern is. And now you're worried that it's accelerating, basically. That's what you're saying, right? Yes, absolutely. Absolutely, it's definitely accelerating. Um the brakes have been taken off. Um, the constraints that that that were once there are are no longer limiting. So the CCP has a free run in Canada. And the people like me that have been speaking out about it, we've lost our voice. Um, a lot of journalists and and media, they've been marginalized. Um, they've they've been forced to leave mainstream media so the population doesn't get the full the full view of what's going on and the extent of the infiltration.

SPEAKER_22 1:27:02

The infiltration is significant, and this does put the United States in a tough place because, on one hand, we want to balance the trade, but if you balance the trade, they collapse as a country, and who are they gonna turn to? We've already already done it. They went and struck a huge trade deal with China, kind of behind our backs, right? And so it creates this situation where it's like, well, now you're becoming a actual risk, a northern border risk. We heard one of the central commanders saying that the drugs that were coming out of Africa were making their way through the northern border, right? Because we've tightened up the southern border so much, they've established new routes through the northern border. Why isn't Canada doing anything about it? Because their leader just happened to be the son of a very prominent communist a couple of years ago, and they've allowed this CCP infiltration. So we need Canada. They're part of the Golden Dome Defense, they're part of our national security. Physically, they're a buffer between, you know, you've got that huge Arctic that's a buffer between us and Russia and any northern. Aggression that would come over.

SPEAKER_19 1:28:01

Yeah, everybody remember the balloons that floated over Canada.

SPEAKER_22 1:28:04

Yeah. So it's not just a trade problem, it's also an ideologic ideolog ideological problem that then extends into a physical um threat. Just like we don't want Chinese people owning farmlands next to our bases, which they've done some to limit that, we don't really want China owning the country to the north. I mean, it's it's not going to turn out well. Now, there is a possibility with Trump being as on top of this stuff as he is. It sounds like a new corner has been turned in Canada. Somebody got into Mark Carney's ear and said, Hey, no more cozying up to China. It's time to cozy cozy up to America.

As the United States approaches its 250 birthday,

A Possible Reset In US Canada Ties

SPEAKER_16 1:28:45

happy birthday as the most in advance. As the most, but it approaches this moment as the most dynamic, resilient, and inventive country the world has ever seen. As a country whose founding values of liberty, democracy, justice, and openness should continue to serve as guides to its future and the future of the world. That future should include a new partnership with Canada, a true partnership that reimagines cooperation in specific sectors that are deeply challenged by global competition. A partnership with a different Canada, a stronger Canada, a more confident Canada, a country that is applying the lessons from class crises, a country unleashing its enormous potential, a country aggressively translating our belief and openness into dozens of new partnerships, a country that's predictable, reliable, and principled in a world that's anything.

SPEAKER_22 1:29:45

So I don't know if those are some like little kick them while they're down thing at the end there. But clearly there's been some kind of that was a CPAC yesterday, a CPAC speech. So clearly there's been a little bit of a sea change. They want to re-establish the partnership. And maybe it's because you know, with this worldwide oil crisis and Alberta trying to succeed, they're recognizing, hey, we've got to get on board with the people who we actually trade with and we have a cultural investment with, and that's uh the Americans. Right. And who knows, maybe we'll see a couple states out of Canada and our lifetimes are on. It's very possible. Apps aren't permanent. All right, guys, that's it for the private chat today.

SPEAKER_36 1:31:14

What in the make lives in that castle over there? I'm 37. What? I'm 37. I'm not old. Well, I can't just call you ma'am. You could say Dennis. I didn't know you were called Dennis. Well, you didn't bother to find out, did you? I did say sorry about the old woman, but from behind, you look what I object to is they automatically treat me like an inferior. Well, I am king. Oh king, eh? Very nice. 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. If there's ever going to be any progress. How'd you do? How do you do, good lady? I'm Arthur, King of the Britons. Whose castle is that? King of the Who? The Britons. Who are the Britons? But we all are. We are all Britons. And I am your king. Didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes. Oh, there you go. Bringing class into the game. That's what it's all about. If only people would. These good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle? No one 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. Be quacked. But by a two-thirds majority in the case of being quacked. I order you to be quacked. I'm your king. I didn't vote for you. You don't vote for kings? Why do you become king then? The lady of the lake. Her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water. Signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I'm your king. Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Big one! But you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart through a sword is. I mean, if I went round saying I was an emperor, just because some moistened bitch had loved a scimitar at me, they put me away! Shut up, will you? Shut up, huh? Now we see the violence inherent in the system. Shut up! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help! I've been repressed, bloody peasant! Oh, what a giveaway! You hear that? You hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Do you see it repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?
