Peasants Perspective
Rights Turned Into Privileges
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A constitutional right can vanish without a single new fence going up and you only notice when you’re told you need permission. We start with the NDAA 2012, the post 9/11 logic that turns “rights” into “privileges,” and the uneasy question of how propaganda, surveillance, and emergency powers reshape daily life while the culture keeps moving like nothing changed.
Then we jump into the headline moment: Anthony Fauci on Capitol Hill, compelled by subpoena, repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment. We walk through the “Fauci Diaries” narrative, the arguments over gain-of-function research, shifting mask guidance, school closures, and the fight over what public health leaders said publicly versus what they recorded privately. We also unpack a key legal point listeners keep asking about: how a pardon interacts with testimony, perjury risk, and why the right against self-incrimination still matters even when the politics look messy.
From there, the lens widens again to the machinery behind it all: government as a corporation, war escalation with Iran and the way conflict consumes the news, and why the money system sits underneath every institutional incentive. We debate Bitcoin, crypto regulation like the Clarity Act, surveillance concerns, and why decentralization keeps showing up as the episode’s throughline, from money to open source tech to off-grid communication.

Welcome And The Simultaneous Sip
SPEAKER_05We're those people. We're those people. Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. So glad to have you guys with us. And Thundering Oak makes it to the top of the charts on the live chats. Good morning. Glad you made it. Glad you made it. I am again broadcasting from the home office. It doesn't look like Ron's gonna join us. Maybe he will, maybe he won't. He's got technical difficulties. He's out on the road. Pony boy, good morning. I'm so glad you made it. I'm so glad you made it. I could drive into the office, but then this technical setup's different and it's like a whole thing. And I'm like, I'll just broadcast from home. However, I did order some different lights for in here. So tomorrow, when you tune in, there's gonna be like, you know, lights. This is gonna feel more like a studio instead of just my home office. So, anyways, that's very fun. I am still so glad you guys are here to join me today. And it looks like, you know, our viewership's pretty good. I always only ever look at unique views on Rumble. It's the only place I care, but I really appreciate everybody tuning in, especially all of you who tune in later in the day. But you can still enjoy the simultaneous sip with us. And I know that's why you join us. And all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanky tankard, a chalice of stein, a canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine head of the day, the thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip. And it starts right now. And we're gonna listen to Brett Weinstein talk about something very serious that happened years ago that we should all be aware of.
SPEAKER_33Their capture of the regulatory apparatus is an essential feature of what has happened. But it's not the limit of it. Something detests our freedom and is targeting it systematically. It is habituating us to having our rights turned into privileges. You know, those two things don't feel very different. If nobody says you can't do that anymore, you still feel like you have a right. But, you know, for example, the NDAA of 2012 contained two provisions that said until the end of hostilities in the global war on terror, we can pull you off any street in the world. We don't have to admit that we have you. You don't have the right to see a lawyer, to see the evidence against you, to uh confront witnesses
NDAA 2012 And A Post Constitutional Order
SPEAKER_33against you. All that has to happen is the executive, the president, needs to decide that you're a terrorist or a supporter of them.
SPEAKER_32So some kind of a danger. Right.
SPEAKER_33Now, my point would be we don't even know. I mean, in fact, a federal court said that Chris Hedges had reason to fear that he could be targeted with that provision because he had interviewed terrorists. So the federal court actually ruled that. But it was also, in the course of that ruling, decided that we didn't know whether this provision had ever been exercised against anybody because how would we know? Just somebody is missing. Well, lots of people are missing. We don't know if any of those are missing because of the provisions of NDA 2012. But my point is as far as I can tell, all the rights in the Bill of Rights became privileges the day that Barack Obama signed that law, which happened to be December 31st, signed it from Hawaii late in the day. And the importance of that, he didn't have to sign it then. There was no reason that it had to be signed by the end of the year. But by signing late in the day on New Year's Eve in Hawaii, the rest of the country was already drunk and it didn't show up in the New York Times the next day. So, anyway, point being, you had constitutional rights. The day Barack Obama signed that document, those rights, with the exception of your Third Amendment right, not to have soldiers quartered in your house, every other constitutional right you had got demoted to a privilege. And on January 1st, it felt the same. So the point is it's a very subtle process by which things as hard won as our top ten enumerated rights, you know, those things can be demoted without you even noticing, even though a tremendous amount of blood was spilled just to attain those rights in the first place.
SPEAKER_32This is why I say we live in a post-constitutional order. That's one thing. I don't know if you know, but also in that same NDAA, they repealed the Smith Munt Act, which had been in place for 70 years, which prohibited the CIA from propagandizing Americans.
SPEAKER_33Yep.
SPEAKER_32Okay.
SPEAKER_33As if they hadn't been doing it before that repeat.
SPEAKER_32I know, but the point is they said this and then they and they said, but you know, don't worry. We're not setting up a program and we don't have any funding for it. Well, in 2015 and 2016, they set up the program and funded it.
SPEAKER_052015 and 2016, they set up the program and funded it. Oh, I know, not the funny giggles that we usually get with the simultaneous sip. Doug Wyatt, good morning. Glad you made it. John Attackis, good morning. Pray the Rosary Daily, good morning. I'm so glad you guys joined me every morning for the simultaneous sip and for the show. I really appreciate it. John Attackis, wonderful and not smoky day in Panama City, Florida. Well, I hope you're enjoying it. I'm still wearing a hoodie. I did a conference call with some people yesterday and they were down in Georgia and they're like hot and muggy, and I'm up here in a hoodie and I got my heater on. I'm in a basement. Fair enough. You know, it's a little chilly. Anyways, uh, yeah, interesting simultaneous sip, right? Post-constitutional world. Now, I'm familiar with that 2012 uh executive order. Uh Ron Cleav says, hardy har har. Hey, glad you made it, buddy. You got the link if you can make it at all. You got to find yourself a computer or something. You got to figure out a way to get on here. So, anyways, I was familiar with that through the Smith Munt Act, right? The fact that Barack Obama allowed the CIA to propagandize people. Oh, but don't worry, we're not doing it. We don't even have a program or funding. Well, 2015-2016, they did. Think about the timeline there. 2015-2016, they did. So that executive order, which stripped away all of your constitutional rights, converted them into privileges, because if they declare you a terrorist, then they can take all of those rights from you. Right? Remember, I kind of went on the front line in this whole thing. Like choosing to go to the Capitol on January 6th, I poked my head up and I said, I object. And oh, he's a terrorist. He's objecting to the system. And they came at me, right? Remember, it wasn't just that I got arrested. I didn't just get a $50 ticket. It wasn't just due process and, you know, normal course of order uh process of law. I got a full indictment with an obstruction of Congress charge, 20 years, felony. Then on and I I avoided some of the most painful parts because I walked straight into it, turned myself in the whole January 6th thing. But then on top of that, right, IRS came after me. I got put on the no fly list. Uh I went to a protest and all of a sudden I'm on the no fly list. That's for terrorists. That's for terrorists. Okay. The no fly list. Your right to travel, which I guess is a privilege because we do it through air air travel, which is like you know, all private travel at the end of the day. Anyways, uh, you know, I I lost my right to flee freely fly, put on the no fly list. Um, you know, amongst other things. There's a couple of things, you know, debanked. Uh, yeah, you lost the right to bank at Wells Fargo. Okay. Um, I sorry. I mean, I my understanding is Wells Fargo like banks murderers and just recently settled for spoofing people's accounts. Like, holy cow, you know, talk about who's a real threat to national security. Wells Fargo's committing identity theft, left and right. Anyways, the whole thing is just which also makes you wonder where they're facilitating illegal immigration with these spoofed accounts. Like, oh, here's a free account, Mr. Illegal Immigrant. I'm just connecting dots. I'm not saying there's any like truth to it, right? But really serious stuff here. So Barack Obama did that. Who was who was working with Barack Obama vis-a-vis intelligence? Who would care about expanding powers of surveillance because of the justification of terrorism? Well, who was working with them? Well, John Brennan was in the CIA with Barack Obama. They set up the propaganda arm to propagandize the American people in 2015, 2016. Why would you propagandize the American people? To advance some sort of a narrative. Okay. So a lot of this you guys are familiar with. I just want to remind you guys of the story because today Anthony Fauci is taking the hot seat and he's already getting a bunch of stuff going on. In fact, I've got it uh playing on over here on a different monitor. Here Langford is grilling Anthony Fauci. Tomorrow we'll probably have quite a few clips from this. But I want to remind you, it's Barack Obama, who, if you follow the show, we go back in time and we allege was one of the first presidents that was fully installed through the election apparatus that was controlled by the Venezuelans. In fact, the allegation made by Patrick Byrne and supported by Gary, the former CIA station chief, blah, blah, blah, is that in 2008, when Barack Obama won the Iowa caucus, that that election was rigged through the election machines. And that's what got Barack Obama the momentum over Hillary Clinton, who had different paymasters, right? But Barack Obama was essentially, let's just go the farthest we can go, an allegation, he was essentially an intelligence creation Manchurian candidate, committed communist. Okay. Let's just, let's just throw all the labels out there, just just, you know, hyperbolically. Let's just pretend that you know the truth is stranger than fiction and that that's the story there. How would the story wrap up, right? So they set up a situation where you have no constitutional rights. They can spy on you, they can eliminate you. You've got John Kierkarko who makes the allegation that Barack Obama and John Brennan had a Monday morning kill list, right? They would present a kill list where they would presumably use these powers that they had granted themselves to go out and eliminate people. God's Army Bratt says, one of the parents always ask when I became so political. I tell them Obama did it. We were watching a sitcom yesterday, so called, I think it's called Last Man Standing or something like that. It's I can't remember. It's a funny show, it's a family show. And uh, anyways, the father-in-law moves in and his go-to line is Barack Obama did it. You know, that dang Barack Obama glum Barack Obama for everything. Anyways, um, yeah, Barack Barack Obama did it. Okay, so they, you know, Barack Obama is installed into power. This is this is the thread that we've pulled on through Emma Robinson, Patrick Byrne, and of course, observing what Donald Trump has said. So then we get to the point that all of a sudden, now it's 2016, 2015, 2016, John Brennan, the CIA, the intelligence apparatus,
Propaganda Fears And Personal Blowback
SPEAKER_05sets up a propaganda wing in order to do what they do. What's that? Control government, control government, foreign governments, soft power, hard power, influence of the people, create fictional narratives, overturn elections through influence, and then now all of a sudden you have the power to overturn elections through technology and through uh legalizing fraud, right? Mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting techniques like this. So you've advanced this point to where you can really gain full control. They get control, and what do they get control of? They get control of what I would call the largest corporation on earth. Put a pin in that in just for just a second. Okay, but they get control of the United States of America. They granted themselves the power to basically eliminate anybody that is an enemy to who themselves, because anybody that's an enemy to the United States is a terrorist. This is oddly oddly uh reminiscent of a of an act that was passed around World War I called the Trading with the Enemies Act, which was then extended in 1933 and through a series of other executive orders to essentially turn what used to be trading with the enemies, aka the Germans, and then later what would have been Japanese or any any any belligerent force of which the United States was at war, which would have been declared by Congress, like World War I and World War II were, but in 1933, the United States government blamed the bank failures on the bank runs on the people, right? So they declared the people an enemy of the United States of America, and this is what justified confiscation of gold. This is what justified a whole bunch of other things, and it kind of issued it, ushered in a new regime of governance, which is a contractual form of governance. You contractually become an ally or a member of the United States of America. We call this citizenship. So this is all a legal construct. Okay. Now you may not believe it's that way, but that's the way that they execute their laws. How do I know this? I've been through the system. So you're gonna have to take my word at it for a little bit. But nonetheless, you fast forward to 2015-2016. If you've taken over a country, one of the things you need to do is you need to consolidate power. You need to spread your people throughout the government. We have heard this from many pundits. Barack Obama spread his people throughout the federal government. Okay, and they took over little institutions which had already been captured by corruptocrats. Okay, corruptocrats, people who are just on the dole. We know government corruption exists. It's existed for a long time. There's good people intermixed in government, but there's a lot of corruptocrats. So the corruptocrats are easy to replace because they're easy to buy off, and you can replace them with ideologues, people who are committed to the cause. And we see this. We absolutely see this. This is where the deep state resistance comes in. This is where James O'Keefe undercover videos validate anecdotally all of these super suspicions we have, and it's even worse because he's going on these blind dates with people who have government positions who would be in the exact spots where they would need to be to offer resistance. Okay, so we get to this point in 2016, and Donald Trump shows up. And what does Donald Trump do? He says, This is an existential threat. He knows who these people are. He's a billionaire. He understands how the construct is, he knows how the game is played, he understands politics. He's been donating to these politicians, playing the game for years and years. He's also going toe-to-toe to them from time to time. You go look at some of the congressional hearings that he was invited to testify to. Look at him going to toe-to-toe with Jerry Nadler. Look at him going toe-to-toe with New York City Council on zoning and permitting and building and things like that. Right. So this guy who understands the system, who's one of the quote-unquote elite, right, who shows up in 2016 and he takes the side of the people. And in a dramatic fashion, 2016, he beats Hillary Clinton, who's the heir apparent of Barack Obama, who's been groomed for this position, who's part of the Clinton dynasty, who can final, you know, finalize the paydays of all the corruptocrats and leave a nice inheritance for the ideal logs to take over when she's gone. That's essentially the role she's going to fulfill. And what happens is Donald Trump wins. Barack Obama is still in power. On January 5th, 2017, Barack Obama meets with his upper staff, the FBI age uh uh FBI director James Comey. He meets with um he meets with John um John Brennan. I believe James Clapper was there, I believe um um Susan Rice was there. Okay, there were a whole series of people that were there. And then in that meeting, they agreed to take what was Russia disinformation that was paid for intelligence by the Hillary Clinton campaign. She paid Fusion GPS to drag up information on Donald Trump. They took that Russian disinformation and they decided to turn it from a dirty political op into intelligence, and they fed it into the media. They took those media reports and they fed it back into the courts and they got warrants and they started to spy on Donald Trump in in order to remove him as president and reinstall themselves as rulers of the United States of America, which again is essentially the largest corporation on earth. How do we know this? Well, President Trump has been exposing this bit by bit, right? A couple, uh let's see, in April of this year, he shared this video on his Truth Social. It's worth taking a reminder tour to Donald Trump posted this, and this is this is where we're at.
SPEAKER_11There is now incontrovertible evidence that he was the spearhead of a seditious conspiracy to subvert the will of the American people and overthrow the United States government back in 2016. We must, absolutely must, hold every one of these criminals accountable for the crimes that they committed. They are the most heinous crimes committed in American history. James, uh James Comey, John Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Biden was in the meeting in July 28th in the Oval Office. They briefed Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton's plan to, quote, tie Trump to Russia collusion lies. It consumed our national discourse for five years. It undermined a sitting duly elected president. It sabotaged administration, it framed a three-star general, it destroyed and ripped this country apart. We had a constitutional crisis, the likes of which I don't think any American can fully comprehend. It is atrocious, and every single one of them must be held accountable.
SPEAKER_05So that should change. So that's where Donald Trump left us, right? That's where Donald Trump left us in April. Donald Trump, we have all this information that's come out. Donald Trump has led a sedition, a coup, a seditious conspiracy against the United States of America. And he's been aided by foreign allies, as we've demonstrated through other people's words and evidence that they've presented on their videos and interviews and things like that over time, right? And he was aided by foreign powers. And it created this constitutional crisis that enlarges happening behind the scenes. But the front lines of this battle extend out and it touches we the people, hence my involvement, right? Just a peasant from the Pacific Northwest, septic installer. So no matter what you think of me, at the end of the day, I'm just a dude like you trying to make my way in life, right? Popped my head up, showed up at a rally on January 6th, boom, boom, boom. Next thing you know, I'm in the crosshairs of this machine, right? And this machine being led by by Barack Obama
Obama Era Claims And Russia Collusion
SPEAKER_05and the people that surrounded him. And what is this machine, right? What is government? Ultimately, what is it that they took over? I want to show this to people. I want people to understand that when when I talk about these principles about government being a corporation and a business and all this kind of stuff, this is where they derive their authority and their powers. This is how they compel things. And when we start talking here in a couple minutes about Anthony Fauci, right? When we start part start talking about Anthony Fauci, he's utilizing the mechanisms of the corporation to influence the day-to-day happenings of your life. So here is Elon Musk just simply explaining to an interviewer what is government. Okay. This is really good because at the end of the day, government, it's just a big business.
SPEAKER_03So if you it it is the most corporate thing, is the it is maximum corporation. Um and it but it's also monopoly, um, and uh and also is the only one that's allowed legally to do violence. So why why would you want to give a corporation with no competition that that can't even really go bankrupt more money?
SPEAKER_32What do you think the role of government should be?
SPEAKER_03Um I I think the the role of government should be uh that of like a referee, um and you know, like uh and and uh but not a player on the field. Um so um generally, you know, government should I think just try to get out of the way and and not uh impede progress.
SPEAKER_05Right. That makes sense to us. Government should try to just get out of the way and not impede progress, but it's ultimately a corporation, right? It's ultimately a corporation, and that that changes everything, right? Government has ownership and stake in things, and we see Donald Trump doing this, and whether it's good or bad, that's up for debate. But it's not up for debate that the government acts and is essentially just the largest corporation. So when Donald Trump came in in 2016, right, and he stole this back from them on behalf of the people, it doesn't mean he's perfect, he's still a politician. This is still, you know, there's still corruptocrats everywhere, and he needs help from people in low places, okay? Like this is not some type of, you know, he's a savior. No. If anything, he's simply more one of us, okay. Like, yes, he's a billionaire, he's an elite, but he also actually owns real estate. He actually employs doormen and you know, valets and desk workers, and service workers, and bartenders, and waiters, and you know, caddies, and and and uh construction workers. Like he he understands the people and like the the how the macro economy ties into the microeconomy. This is a guy who you know has been around a little while. He's he's kind of a kid from Queens, you know. I mean, it's that's who he is. And so he comes in and he's like, Hey, think about the Speeches he gave in 2020 when he talked about you know this is a battle. This is a battle over who controls the country, who controls your life. You know, you think about the speeches he gave coming down the escalator and things like that, right? Um, Ron Cleaver Jr. says government is a corporation in the limit. Yeah, exactly. Carl Leeds, good morning. Y'all got tied up watching Fauci plead the fifth. Yeah, we're gonna see one of those here in a little bit. Okay. So in 2016, Donald Trump takes over. As soon as Donald Trump takes over, what happens? Mike Davis posts this. This is a great summary of what happened after Donald Trump took over. After the Russian collusion impeachment hoaxes failed, right? That's what they did. Let me add this back here to the stage. After the Russia Russia collusion impeachment hoax failed, which they which they did ultimately after Trump won in 2016, and um Democrats knew they had to destroy Trump's thriving economy. In 2016, the economy was at just rip roaring. I mean, it's universally acknowledged that it was one of the best economies the United States had seen in the modern fiat era. I mean, we were we were starting to actually grow production to bring domestic uh production back home. It was impressive. So they had to commit to mass voter fraud through all mail and ballots so they could rig and steal the 2020 election. They had to get the power back if they couldn't impeach him and remove him. So we got COVID, mass hysteria and lockdowns. That's where today's story, BLM or uh COVID comes in. And then during the lockdowns, they have BLM riots, right? They took advantage of the George Floyd uh unfortunate situation in Minnesota. They launched the BLM riots. And then there was the blatant voter fraud, all the shenanigans that happened around the 2020 election. Then there was January 6th, that's where I get directly involved, but I'm but I'm involved as I start podcasting and speaking up over these issues. Then another impeachment hoax, right? We got the Ukraine gate, or we got the J6 impeachment after Trump was uh removed from office, and that would prevent him from ever running again, right? To chop him at the chop him at the knees. Then the Biden law fair during the camp during uh the campaign. The entire time Trump was running for president, he'd had his house raided. He announced for president, he got his house raided, right? Uh he got four different separate criminal indictments. He was ultimately convicted on one, sat through an entire trial that was the most horrible smear campaign, right? Everything about it was just absolute lawfare the entire time Trump was in office. Then, after Trump got back in office, there's been judicial sabotage, Democrat judicial sabotage during his second term. And now this is all starting to come out. So we are we are in a good spot today. Because today things are starting to move. So a couple things before we jump into the Fauci stuff. And uh, I'm looking over here at my screen. It looks like it looks like Fauci is just continuing to plead the fifth at everything that comes up, right? So that takes us to 2024. The Democrats were trying to stop Donald Trump. It was being led by Barack Obama, who was being aided by foreign powers, clearly and obviously anybody with a brain can see that. Okay. And so here we have Donald Trump, just a flashback, a reminder of where we came from. Okay. This is just a flashback to Donald Trump during the campaign. Well, this is a flashback to Donald Trump during the campaign. Sorry, mess this up here. Flashback to Donald Trump during the campaign in 2024, reminding you at the core of what it is he's ultimately trying to accomplish as president and why he's running.
SPEAKER_24Since 2016, you and I have been in this battle side by side, taking on the entire corrupt system in Washington like no one else has ever done before. Nobody else has done what we've done. But this Tuesday, it is finally going to turn you away. Your voice is going to be given back. You had a voice just three years ago. And I believe that New Hampshire is going to speak very loudly and clearly. With your vote, you are going to send a message straight to crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of our country. Since 2016, you and I have been in this battle side by side.
SPEAKER_05Since 2016, we've been in the battle. Yes, we have battled Trump. We've been in the battle together. Obviously, he gets way more credit than anybody else, okay? But that's it. That's a battle. It's a battle over who controls our country, who controls, you know, our nation, who controls where we are. So we've had we have had some good news happen in this at the Supreme Court. We've had things like the slaughter decision, which gave Donald Trump the ability to fire, um uh um fire any federal worker in any position for any reason, right? He's the ultimate executive there. And so one of the things that's happened with Tulsi Gabbard, she obviously went into ODI, Office of Director of National Intelligence, where she sits on top of the 27 agencies that all have intelligence credentials. And she's supposed to be the the uh the center point, the
Intelligence Layoffs And Presidential Firing Power
SPEAKER_05consolidation of all that information before it goes on to the president. So she's like kind of sits in between, you know, the CIA director and the director of uh military intelligence and all you know, all these other people. She sits in between them and the president. And so during that time, she went in, she you know, uncovered a lot of things. She showed up down in Georgia collecting the ballots, all the things that she did. Unfortunately, her husband's very, very ill, so she needed to resign. Bill Pulte, coming out of housing, stepped in there as the acting director. And one of his tasks has been to release everything and fire people. And he's done that. So this story is coming from just the news, John Solomon, who's moonlighting over there with the U.S. government. Let's take a look at this. So this is let me get this stage where I've got this. All right, so this is coming from just the news. National Intelligence completes its fifth round of layoffs, layoffs, slashing 30% of the staff. Polte said the level of staffing at the agency is down 30% from where it was just a few weeks ago. After several rounds of layoff, former National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard laid off 500 people herself, which the office said at that point was 30% of its staff. So he's uh fired another additional 30%. Acting director of national intelligence, Bill Polte says his office completed another round of layoffs. Just one day after let's get rid of all this nonsense here. Ads popping up every day. Just one day after the previous round was executed, he said the agent the he said the latest round was the final round of terminations planned for the agency at the level staffing down. What is this thing? Where how do I get rid of this ad? This ad is like right smack in the middle of my text here. What is it? Exclusive footage. They tried to hide. I don't give a crap. Okay. Um, there it went away on its own. The intelligence community the intelligence movement was protect people and not political whims of the bloated and corrupt elite class, Polte said on X. Monday, Polte announced that the Office of Director of National Intelligence completed this fourth round of thoughtful measured layoffs. Not clear exactly how many people have been laid off during these rounds. Polte took over from former DI Gabbard. Gabbard said she had laid off 500 people, which a fact sheet from OD and I at the agency stated was approximately 30% of the agency's workforce at that time. So Bill Polte came in and who did he wipe out? Probably, probably, a lot of these apparatcheks and and uh ideal logs that got left behind and embedded by Barack Obama. Probably. People that were involved in covering up everything from you know, from the uh people that were involved in covering everything up from China's involvement in the in the rigged elections to people that were involved in COVID to people that were involved in everything, right? Everybody could have been potentially on the chopping box. And additionally, from that, the Supreme Court weighed in yesterday on uh an injunction that a California-San Francisco judge had put on Trump's ability to fire everybody. So again, the Supreme Court affirmed that Donald Trump could fire anybody you want. This is Rick Davis and Steve Bannon talking about what Trump should do. And I think this is coming. I think this is campaign promises, right? It took a while to get here. There's been a process, but we're now we're at the point where the gloves are off, right? Now the question is, is Trump gonna strike and do mass layoffs and firings of these embedded corruptocrats and ideologues in government?
SPEAKER_17That's another example of a radical judge that put a state that tries to what they're trying to do is at least block and slow down, but it has been lifted. So now you can Russ vote in the team, you can go to the mass firings. Of course, it's gonna be challenged again, etc., but the Supreme Court is showing us a path to what you've been saying in the years in the wilderness, the Article II powers of the president of the United States, numero uno, he's chief executive officer of the government. He can hire and fire anybody, including these tangential agencies. He can uh, you know, the the appropriations bill is a floor, not a ceiling. He's got the authority to do this. The courts are backing us up, isn't it now more than ever, to like let's drop the hammer, do some mass firings, and have them bring it, baby. You want to get people jacked up, you know, have a mass layoff of the federal government and let them go back to court, okay? Let them go back to court, let's just do it. Let's just do it, let's just fire everybody.
SPEAKER_05I get that pause. Let's just fire everybody, and it's right, he has the chance, he has the chance to do it totally. Okay, let's go to the chats here. Let's see. Uh let's see, God's army. Uh already said you got up watching you're late, got up watching Fauci plead the fifth on every question. Um, Carlitz also said he's Donald's, he's Donald from the block. Yeah, that's right. That's who Donald Trump is. Thundering Oak says, Wait, I thought Fauci couldn't plead the fifth because he was pardoned. Is that false? And Jonatka says, Why plead the fifth? I thought he has a presidential pardon. Yeah, same, same that at Thundering Oak said. The question about the pardon. I am going to address this. I'm going to address this very specifically. In fact, this will be a great lesson for all the peasants about your self-evident unalienable rights and the presumption, the premise that your Fifth Amendment can ever be uh waived and that you don't have that right, how that is a false premise. So I'm going to explain that when we get when I when I show a clip on Anthony Fauci pleading the fifth. So just hang on with me for a second here. It's going to make sense when I get to it, and uh I'll answer that question in in great detail. Okay. So um, but I I did want to, you know, I did want to say that I'm we're right there now at our Anthony Fauci stuff. Okay. So Anthony Fauci got called to Capitol Hill today. And while he's on Capitol Hill, he's gonna have to answer a lot of questions. And there's been quite a bit that has happened over the last little bit that's come out about Anthony Fauci. So we're going to um take a little oh, let's see here. Hold on, I want to make sure I got this all in order. I'm missing something. Okay, so
Fauci Called To Capitol Hill
SPEAKER_05we're going to uh we're going to take a little walk here. We're going to talk about Anthony Fauci. So this was Donald Trump this morning as Anthony's getting getting called to Congress. Donald Trump called in to Fox and Friends, and he posted a uh tweet or truth social that says this. You guys can barely read it there. I can I can read it for you. It says many more people died of COVID under Biden administration than under the Trump administration. Ah, always the cop out. Operation Warp Speed was a spectacular success. If you think the vaccines were good, I hate it when he touts his Operation Warp Speed success. Yeah, you controlled government and got them to act really quick. It was warp speed. And uh it was probably better than dragging, you know, the development of the vaccine out for four years. But nonetheless, you know, say what you want. In fact, many say one of the most successful things ever done by an American president. I overrode Fauci on this. His ideas were crazy. Also, I said from the beginning that the virus came from the Wuhan laboratory in China. Fauci strongly disagreed, always trying to protect China. I inherited Fauci, who was there since the 1980s, and that is true. Trump didn't have anything to do with putting Fauci there. I inherited Fauci, who was there since the 1980s, but with each passing day relied less and less on him. He made too many bad calls, like on masks. Remember at the beginning he was an anti-masker, and then he switched to a super masker. In any event, I didn't let him shut the country down, although he wanted to. I went the Federalist way, which was returning power to the states, and let the governors decide. The Republican governors did much better, a much better job than the Democrats. Fauci was largely taken out of play, and then along came sleepy Joe Biden, who made a Fauci, Fauci a king. I called Biden to tell him Fauci was no good. This is news. I didn't know Trump called Biden to tell him that was no good. Either didn't have a clue or was dishonest. The call was received, but sadly not acted on. Biden went on to give Fauci vast destructive power over the and the rest is history. So this is him on Fox and Friends.
SPEAKER_18And then he gave him a pardon.
SPEAKER_10He did indeed. And you know, I think we all thought there was a lot of science behind what he was saying, and maybe not so much. But Mr. President, if you would have known then what you know now, would you have fired him?
SPEAKER_18Well, I would have fired him, but again, I didn't listen to him. So when he was with Biden, he was like to God. When he was with me, he wasn't even close, and I wasn't very close to him. I dealt with him very little. I didn't agree with many of the things he said. No, he wanted to close up everything. Look at all the states that remained open. Those states remained open. He wanted everything closed. And it just turned out that closing wasn't so good because you know it's very interesting. Some of the states that that fared the worst in terms of the spread were actually closed. Okay. Explain that.
SPEAKER_05They did more damage than anyway it is.
SPEAKER_18They did a lot of damage in a lot of different ways.
SPEAKER_05So we don't need to go back and talk too much more about you know all the nonsense that happened around the COVID and the uh, you know, the lockdowns and what states succeed and stuff like that. Fair enough to say it didn't go well. Okay. Fair enough to say uh yes, red states fared much better. Blue states that had lockdowns had obviously much higher issues of every caliber, of every type, from social isolation issues, mental illness to uh side effects to all-cause mortality, almost in every way, the blue states, you know, suffered a lot more. So we had the Anthony Fauci diary that was released, and this was something that was not um meant for to ever be discovered. As RFK said on the Laura Ingram show, they had to go out and they collected this information off 11 different servers where it had been sequestered and isolated and you know, password protected. And they had to go grab all this information and compile it, and it's been called the Fauci Diaries. These are his own entries, emails to himself, diary entries to himself, his personal logs, his memos, stuff like that. Technology is a funny thing, right? It's good to keep records, but these records, you know, document in real time sometimes your intent, your thoughts, and you know, you you you write a lot of stuff, and so a lot can be said by the things you write. So, what I'm gonna play you now is a little quick AI video. It's very fun, but what it is is it's actual, actual diary entries that these are Anthony Fauci's actual root words with a couple news inserts from here or there, those are obvious. These are Anthony Fauci's actual words, what he wrote in his own words in real time, while on TV he was telling us completely fabricated things, false things. In private, he was writing other things, and he was completely self-obsessed.
SPEAKER_14February 8th, 2020. This is acting like a bad influenza. The case fatality rate is more like 0.2 to 0.3% rather than 2%. Big day, 142,539 global cases, USA and 2,188 cases with 58 deaths and 662 new cases. I did all five Sunday shows today. All went very well. I spoke with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and convinced him, based on what I was saying publicly in my conversation tonight, to close the New York City schools.
SPEAKER_04I got vaccinated. You're saying I could get this? Wait, Matt. But there's also a burger element to this?
SPEAKER_14I went on to tell him he should close the bars and restaurants in New York City. He said that he would base this on my recommendation. I had a similar call with Ann O'Leary, the chief of staff of Governor Gavin Newsom of California. Ann said that based on my TV appearances today and yesterday, the governor has decided to close the schools in California as well as the bars and restaurants.
SPEAKER_19I apologize. We had dinner, uh four o'clock dinner in an orange-tiered county. Uh, we're not telling people they can't eat, uh, but indeed, uh, I made a mistake being with a few extra people beyond uh the guidelines that I've been promoting, which is outside the household.
The Fauci Diaries And Shutdown Influence
SPEAKER_19March 21, 2020.
SPEAKER_14The situation with my national and international fame is explosive and really unimaginable. It is not hyperbly to say that today I am the most famous and talked-about person in the country and one of the most recognizable persons in the world. March 22nd, 2020, cases continue to soar. 30,000 in USA with 400. Press is going wild with me. April 7, 2020, press still hot and heavy about me. Multiple stories per day directly or indirectly involved. October 23rd, 2020. Had dinner at my home with Jake and Jennifer Tapper. Relaxed, good time. Jake clearly believes that Trump is totally nuts. November 26th, 2020. Thanksgiving. Went on walk and was mobbed by well-wishers who wanted photos with me. February 8th, 2021. Important point is that the vaccines are protecting against severe disease. Kate McKellen played me again on Saturday Night Live. November 5th, 2020. Got call from Ron Klain. Biden wanted me to know that I am his point man. I told Ron that I cannot wait to work with him and Biden.
SPEAKER_05Oh my gosh. I'm missing Ron. If he was in studio with me right now, he'd be dying. Oh my gosh, isn't that great? Oh, Ron Klain, then I would be one, I'd be happy to work for him. Okay. So Fauci heads to Capitol Hill. Rand Paul got stopped in the in the uh congressional hallway and he got asked about Anthony Fauci and his testimony. Now the question comes up, right? What what happens if he pleads the fifth?
SPEAKER_19Testimony start shortly.
SPEAKER_25I mean, that's a defense he can. I think the American people would be very disappointed if that happens. Um somebody worked for 40 years for government. I think they have an obligation to explain to Americans how was the decision made, who made the decision, why was the decision made to fund dangerous research in uh in Wuhan, China. Uh it was in a lower-level security lab, a lab that didn't have adequate security. These were dangerous experiments. A lot of people think this began with COVID. It began ten years before. It began with the question of whether we should allow experiments to gain function to the avian flu. People talk about the avian flu. Ten years ago, they made it more transmissible through the air to mammals through an NIH approved funding that Dr. Fauci supported. This is a big discussion, it needs to occur.
SPEAKER_05That's right. So we are going to be hearing about we are going to be hearing about just that. Did Dr. Fauci fund the gain of Fauci and he's going to be asked to testify? And if he takes the Fifth Amendment, Rand Paul's like, hey, he owes it as a government worker for 40 plus years. He owes it to say the truth. That's the case. I agree 100%. We'll talk about the Fifth Amendment. What happens if Dr. Fauci testifies, okay, today, and he does plead the Fifth Amendment? So on Fox News, John Yu, who's the former assistant assistant attorney general, he was asked this question, and this is the answer he gave. So what is, oh, I'm gonna get this right. What is Biden's or what is Fauci's implication if he takes the stand and he ends up pleading the fifth?
SPEAKER_06Expressed by well-known virologists, go down and down, down. He's either lying then or is he lying to his diary? Who is it and tell us now? And you're right, Brian. He can't claim that the pardon would cover any of his answers now. You can only be pardoned for lying to Congress from before the pardon. If he commits a lie before Congress now, he'll be committing a federal crime and could be prosecuted.
SPEAKER_21I I mean, he's saying, you know, I didn't shut anybody down. I I never shut any schools down. And then we find out in his diary, spoke with Bill DeBlasio, mayor of New York City, convinced him based on what I was saying publicly in my conversation to shut down New York City schools. Uh, had a similar call with Ann O'Leary and Governor Gavin Newsom of California. Between large between our conversations and our TV appearances, he shut down the schools. So what are you saying you had nothing to do with the shutdowns that in retrospect were totally unnecessary and kids were never in danger?
SPEAKER_06Look, he's obviously running from this. This is one of the greatest public policy disasters in the history of the American Republic, where experts like him overreacted to the virus, shut down the economy at cost of hundreds of billions of dollars, interfered with the everyday lives of every single American, and infringed on all of our individual. Freedoms. And so now, of course, he's trying to pretend he had nothing to do with it. But as you say in the diary, he records pretty meticulously all these governors, mayors, Mayor de Blasi in New York, Governor Newsom in California urging them to shut down bars, restaurants, schools. And now he's pretending he didn't do that. So if you're a senator, you would say, Were you telling the truth in public when you said you had nothing to do with it? Did you lie to your diary? What did you actually, what was actually true in your mind? Tell us the truth now. And if you lie, you're committing perjury and could go to jail for it.
SPEAKER_05And these embarrassing statements about feel like you're lying, you commit perjury and you could go to jail for it. That
Fauci Invokes The Fifth Amendment
SPEAKER_05is the point. If you lie, you commit perjury and you can go to jail for it. So let's take a listen to Rand Paul. Rampall is the chairman of the committee that's bringing Anthony Fauci in. Okay, so Rand Paul is here on the stage, on the dais, as they call it. I think they call it the dais. I don't know. Anyways, so here's Rand Paul in these opening statements to Anthony Fauci. So this is where we're at. Barack Obama comes in, a Manchurian candidate of sorts. He's an intelligence creation. Who knows if he ever went to Columbia or any of the schools he claims to have gone to, right? Go see Wayne Dyer about that. So Barack Obama comes in. There's foreign help. We believe in 2008, based on Patrick Byrne, that Barack Obama won the Iowa caucus based on election rigging that was based through the technology, through the election voting machines, run out of Venezuela. He went on to gain momentum, ended up beating Hillary Clinton, took the presidency. Fast forward 2012, after Obamacare and all the nonsense that happened during Barack Obama's administration, right? Self-evident. It's Barack Obama's fault. After all that, 2015, 20, or uh in 2012, they got they signed the National Defense Authorization Act, which essentially stripped away all your constitutional rights. Brett Weinstein said, not the Third Amendment. I'd say your phone is a spy phone. That's the Third Amendment. That's an intelligence agent quartered in your pocket. Okay, so either way, they've got all this power. Then 2015, Donald Trump starts the run for president, 2016. They coordinate propaganda against the people. They coordinate a you know rigging of the election. Something happens in 2016. We believe that the machine hack didn't happen as it was supposed to, andor Donald Trump overwhelmed in the 2016 win. He ends up winning. He comes into government, he's immediately obstructed. Russia, Russia, Russia investigates, DOJ just said all that. COVID happens, 2020. Trump beats his impeachment, Trump comes out, everything's great, economies rip roaring, boom, COVID, whole pandemic plays out, BLM riots, lockdowns, BLM riots, suspension of constitutions, mass mail in ballots, 80 million votes for Joe Biden. Joe Biden's in Joe Biden was in the room with Barack Obama when they decided to target Trump and essentially win at all costs and take back power over the United States, the largest corporation. And here comes Anthony Fauci, who, based on his journal entries, was not part of this deep state coup. He wasn't like, I want to help China take over America. I don't know that he ever got the briefing. I don't know if he was invited to the all-naked Illuminati meetings or the uh Bohemian Grove, you know, all-male shindigs. I'm not sure that Anthony Fauci made it to those events, but Anthony Fauci, at a minimum, casting a cloak of charity, in his own words, was obsessed with the fame that he was receiving. He's thought himself a god. He thought himself a famous person. He saw himself doing interviews with uh uh Julia Andrews and doing interviews with you know all these media personalities. He became the feature of songs, people were making cookies with his picture on it, right? He became obsessed with that, he became a tool.
SPEAKER_25The committee asked for your voluntary cooperation to come today. Your appearance had to be compelled by subpoena. You're here today under duress, you're here today because of the court ordering it. President Biden issued you a sweeping pardon extending back to 2014, the same pardon he gave to his son Hunter. A pardon may protect a person from criminal prosecution, doesn't rewrite history. It does not erase documents, it does not convert a misleading statement into a truthful one, and it does not prevent Congress from establishing what happened. There will be another pandemic, there will be another crisis, and there will again be officials who insist that uncertainty must be hidden for the public's own good. They will demand obedience, they will invoke science. I am the science, as though it were a commandment. They will argue that government officials cannot be questioned because questioning them would undermine public trust. They have it backwards. It is secrecy that destroys trust, it is arrogance that destroys trust, it is censorship that destroys trust, and it is the refusal to admit error that destroys trust. That loss of trust may be your most damaging legacy. Trust can't be ordered, it has to be earned. Scientist is above scrutiny, no government official is beyond accountability, and no public servant has the right to treat the suffering of millions of Americans as a footnote to his preferred version of history. That is beautiful.
SPEAKER_05Beautiful. That is beautiful. Right. That is beautiful. That is beautiful. This will happen again. Government will abuse its powers. This is this is something that we have established time and time again. And good on Rand Paul, despite any political uh disagreements we have with him. Good on Rand Paul for bringing it up. Okay, so this is Rand Paul asking Dr. Fauci if he's been briefed on gain of function, uh, gain of function, if he's been briefed on gain of function and if it's ongoing. We know Anthony Fauci was involved with it before. As Rand Paul said earlier, this started 10 years prior, right? We know all this was going on. And it's and it centers around the gain of fun gain of function, with Anthony Fauci was in the center of. So this is Rand Paul asking Anthony Fauci about that.
SPEAKER_25There's a question of whether or not gain of function research is still ongoing. And these are important questions. The American people deserve to know. Dr. Fauci, have you been read into any classified Department of Homeland Security program, any prospective special access program concerning gain of function research?
SPEAKER_20On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.
SPEAKER_05Okay. So there you have it. He declares his right to not answer questions based on his fifth amendment. Here's another one. Here's Ron Paul grilling Anthony Fauci again. This was just minutes ago. You know, so there's no evidence.
SPEAKER_07There's no evidence that ivermectin is helpful on that exact same day. And I've I've got the I've got the studies right here. There was a website that was tracking random controlled studies. So here they are, showing 60, 70% efficacy of ivermectin. The same day you say there's no evidence, there's all kinds of evidence. Loved ones had to go to hospitals, had to sue hospitals. Just would you try it? So I I would want to know, you know, to what extent were you involved in sabotaging hydroxychloric, ivermectin, and and did you do that because you knew the only way you get an emergency use authorization for these drugs, these experimental gene therapy, was if there was no effective treatment, you couldn't think get the emergency use authorization. So is that is that why you help sabotage these cheap generic drugs in favor of remdeser, which by the way, nurses, are you aware of the fact that nurses
Fifth Amendment Explained And Hearing Chaos
SPEAKER_07called it run death is near.
SPEAKER_20On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment. There it is again.
SPEAKER_05But I thought he didn't have a right to the Fifth Amendment. I thought he was I thought it was privileged. Hmm. Well, we're gonna have to uh we're gonna have to check that premise here in just a second. So here here's the deal. The way the Fifth Amendment works, and this is really important to understand. This is listed amongst many self-evident, unalienable rights. What that means is it is a right that cannot be taken from you. And it's self-evident because it's self-expressed. Nobody can do anything about it. And what it's rooted in, your right to not self-incriminate yourself. It's rooted in a maximum of law that says no man should be compelled to testify against his own baseness or his own wickedness, which is another way to say you don't, you're not obligated to say anything negative about yourself. And this is rooted in the fact that you're not obligated to say anything. Okay. The right to control the words that are coming out of your mouth is a human right. It is self-evident, it is unalienable in the fact that you can tell me what to say and I can choose to say it or not. And I can express that right all the way to the point of completely remaining silent. So, what the Fifth Amendment does is it says that you can't testify against yourself because if you do, your words can be used against you. So, in a situation like this, previous to these events, obviously Fauci lied. He lied to the people on TV and he lied to Congress. Lying to Congress is a crime. He was then pardoned of all of his crimes. Okay, so they can't convict him of that. So if he admits to lying, he just admits to it, and he can't be prosecuted for admitting to lying because of the pardon. So the idea that, okay, well, you don't have a fifth amendment, then you have to say the truth. You don't have to say your name. That's the point. The Fifth Amendment is self-enforced, it is not a right granted by government. This is not the Inquisition. They can try to torture it out of you. You can still choose to say what you want to say or not. You can choose to lie. If they want you to say something, you can choose to say it. Okay. Fifth Amendment. Okay. If I want to testify against myself, I can. If I don't want to, I don't have to speak. That's the Fifth Amendment. So I think it's important for us to understand that because the Fifth Amendment right extends to all of that, right? So here Anthony Fauci, who's taking the Fifth Amendment to things, some of the things he's taking the Fifth Amendment to, we would consider outright ridiculous. For example, here's Anthony Fauci taking the Fifth Amendment to a question that is pretty simple.
SPEAKER_20On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.
SPEAKER_25Your counsel has been provided a copy as well. That section makes it a crime for a witness appearing under subpoena to refuse to answer any questions pertinent to the question under inquiry. Do you have that in front of you?
SPEAKER_20On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.
SPEAKER_25Let the record record that the witness has refused to answer whether there's a folder in front of him based on his Fifth Amendment right.
SPEAKER_05It is true that you could let the record reflect that the witness has chosen to refuse to testify if there's a folder placed in front of him or not. Again, you can choose what words come out of your own mouth. That's the point. And I support that. Okay. I totally support that. However, it doesn't mean he can't be punished if he does testify wrong or if they find some other cause, which Rand Paul's going to warn him of here in a couple seconds. Which Rand Paul's going to warn him of here in a couple seconds. Here is Anthony Fauci's attorney who's going ballistic to the point that he gets removed.
SPEAKER_25The attorneys are not recognized. In fact, the attorney was told not to sit at the table, and he's not obeying that recommendation. There's a row behind you, sir. That's where you were told to sit, and you're not. And now you're disrupting the proceedings. And so, look, this is the way Anthony Fauci wants to be remembered. For a lawyer not listening to the rules, that's the way you want to be remembered, and that's what you're going to do. You are not recognized, sir. Security, please remove him from the room.
SPEAKER_05He had to have his attorneys removed from the room. Wow.
SPEAKER_25So he gets removed.
SPEAKER_05He'll still have some attorneys there to help him. Don't worry, folks. Don't worry, folks. So what's the ultimate consequence of this, right? Rand Paul already this morning has laid it out. What's the ultimate consequence is he's gonna end up um what's the ultimate no, I gotta get my screen right here. What's the ultimate consequence is he's gonna end up uh the committee's gonna have to decide if there's something that they can, you know, prosecute him on. But the attorneys are hold on, what's going on here? Here we go. I want to share this one instead.
SPEAKER_25The chairman has denied your assertion of privilege and directed you to answer, but you nonetheless refuse and stand on privilege despite the existence of the pardon. The committee will have to consider after this hearing what appropriate action should be taken against you for the failure to testify after being directed to do so. It's against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress. There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today. Senator Peters. The chairman has denied your assertion of privilege and directed you to answer, but you nonetheless refuse and stand on privilege despite the existence of the pardon.
SPEAKER_05So he's not gonna answer anything. So the committee's gonna have to decide what they're gonna do with him. Ron says, thanks to Rand Paul, right? All this is being brought brought out. And Ran or Ron says, shame, shame, shame. Yes, exactly. Oh, so it's gonna be very interesting. Um, I'm looking here, I'll share this with you guys. Um I'll share this with you guys. This is Anthony Fauci. This is him reading his statement, basically declaring that he's going to be uh pleading the fifth on everything. At least that's what I'm led to believe.
SPEAKER_20This clip's although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress. Look at him shaking. Under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions.
SPEAKER_05Thank you. So he's just not going to answer questions. So we'll see. We'll see what uh Cajone's Rand Paul has if he's gonna make any kind of uh referrals or anything like that. So there's a couple other clips that are out there of Rand Paul kind of excoriating uh Anthony Fauci. This is significant, you guys. It's it's a domino effect, right? The COVID scam is being exposed, all the trust that Anthony Fauci was given, it's being ripped away, right? He did irreparable damage to the intelligence agencies and to the medical apparatus, which frankly, you know what? We had to know. We had to know the truth of this stuff. So I'm not I'm not unhappy. I mean, obviously, COVID was a direct effect to millions of people's lives. I'm not unhappy that this is being exposed. I'm not unhappy that we're knowing the truth. I think that and I think that Rand Paul is right, right? This is gonna happen again in the future, and we need to be prepared for it. We need to be prepared not to trust, right? That's the key here. Our virtue gets weaponized against you. You need to save your virtue for society and and and uh hold your ire for the government, is what needs to happen. Uh, Pony Boy says, Dear Diary, today Rand Paul was rude. I sure do miss the auto pen. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Speaking of auto pen and Joe Biden, right, asking Anthony Fauci to come on and making him sort of a king. One of the other things that came out this week was the tapes of the her
Biden Tapes Autopen And The Fauci Pardon
SPEAKER_05investigation into Joe Biden and the classified documents and all that kind of stuff. So those tapes were exposed. Those tapes were exposed, and this is Jesse Waters doing a review of it. I love this so much. So you're gonna hear some clips and hear some breakdown. Again, this is the guy that was running the country. Why was he running the country? In my opinion, Joe Biden was the last of the primary corruptocs. He comes from that, he comes from that Bill Clinton line, right? He's kind of in power over this long Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden. These guys are the old bulls of the Senate. And even there long before Lindsey Graham. I mean, he predated Lindsey Graham by 10 or 15 years or something like that. Been around forever. He becomes vice president. You've got the new ideologue, the communist candidate in Barack Obama. You've got Joe Biden, the corruptocrat who can kind of merge these two worlds past the baton, so to speak. Hillary Clinton also falls in that category. Although, if you follow um Dinesh de Souza and you go watch one of his early documentaries about Hillary Clinton, he talks about how Hillary Clinton was an early adopter of rules for radicals and actually wrote a master's thesis, I believe, on rules for radicals, but applied to in Rules for Radicals, he opposed government and she proposed that the radicals needed to go into government. So she did that, right? Her life kind of proved that out. So, anyways, Hillary Clinton kind of fit that mold as well. And she was derailed, and so Joe Biden had to come back in as the designated hitter and he had to fill in the shoes, and he did. And while he was the president, we know he was a shadow president, brought use of the auto pen, uh, really wasn't running government. You listen to what Joe Manchin says, you've surrounded yourselves by radicals. These are those ideologues that are now making their way into government. So the Biden tapes come out, and now we know the truth.
SPEAKER_16Over 70 hours of unfiltered raw recordings between Joe and his ghostwriter were just made public by the DOJ. For years, the Bidens have been trying to keep you from listening to these tapes. The Bidens and the Democrats paid lawyers a small fortune to bury them. Why? They're pretty bad.
SPEAKER_26Hang on a second. Um it's confusing me. Oh gosh.
SPEAKER_16This wasn't when Biden was president. These tapes are 10 years old. Right after Biden was Barack's VP, tried to write a book, but couldn't remember a thing. Not even the names of his own staff.
SPEAKER_26I had the team that said, including the two guys who I think were with me, were um um the guy at Princeton now, um economist, uh good guy, uh, was our our uh uh chief economic advisor, uh not Kaufman, um think of his name, and the guy back out of the University of Chicago um with a funny name, I'll think of it. Yeah, Gouldsby is in Chicago, and the other guys at Princeton. Yeah, I should write the name.
SPEAKER_16This proves Biden's brain was fried in 2017. But ten years later, when he was even more deteriorated and falling asleep during debate prep, this is what the media told you.
SPEAKER_22Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell you the truth. An F you if you can't handle the truth. This version of Biden intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.
SPEAKER_16Tapper wrote a book about how everybody knew Joe was cooked, but they had to stop Trump, so they lied to you. They even raided Trump's house for classified documents after Biden bragged about having an illegal skiff in his garage.
SPEAKER_26So this was high early on um in 09. I just found all the classified stuff downstairs. Some of this may be classified. Okay. I'm not sure. It's no more classified, but the next thing we have here is uh This is probably something that goes for the presidential papers. I don't think so. It's in between if I didn't want to turn it in.
SPEAKER_16They prosecuted Trump for the crimes Biden committed and admitted to. Then when Fauci shut down the country, they hid Biden in the basement, flooded the zone with ballots, pulled the big guy across the finish line, and then went on an autopen bender with spending and DEI. Then an hour before Trump got inaugurated in the bitter cold, whoever was controlling the auto pen pardoned Fauci. Why? Did Fauci lobby for a pardon? We'll find out tomorrow when Rand Paul asks him under oath. Did he have a guilty conscience? Well, he did fund gain of function research at a sloppy lab where a virus escaped and left a million Americans dead. He shut down the American economy on a whim, lied about the vax, crushed.
SPEAKER_05Wow. So Biden, right, those tapes are from him and his ghostwriter who wrote who wrote the book for him. And he's like, here, classified info, classified info. That investigation happened under Donald Trump. So the deep state took that information and rather than prosecute it, like they would go on to do Donald Trump, they started to set up a situation where Donald Trump himself became guilty of that same crime. And how did they do that? Because the Records Archive had the records, called up the Trump administration, you know, former President Trump, and they said, Hey, we've got your records, come and get them. He came and got them, put them up haphazardly in his house before they went through them, and then there was a raid.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_05So they set up a situation where Donald Trump basically could be prosecuted for the very thing that Joe Biden was doing. Okay. And then, of course, Joe Biden partnered Anthony Fauci. Why? Because Anthony Fauci enabled the greatest election fraud on the history, in the history of the planet. Right? That's why. And did Anthony Fauci know he had done that actively? Like I said. Like I said, my opinion is that Anthony Fauci never got briefed. He never got to go to the naked Bohemian Grove stuff, right? But he really loved the fame. That was his weakness. That was his pride being weaponized against him, right? His vanity being weaponized against him. He became an apparatus in this. Maybe he was a deep stater. I don't know. I mean, he's a deep stater by definition. The question is, what was his motive? And it doesn't really matter. The result was the same. So here we are today, right? We believe that there was an intentional, seditious coup led by Barack Obama that stretched back really a couple decades. And it all came to a head when Trump was elected in 2016, came to a head again in 2020, came to a head again in 2024. It's it goes with the presidential election, and with the Democrats comes weaponization of government, and with Republicans comes, it seems like all out obstruction. But here's Jamie Raskin, right? One of these congressional deep staters who's being asked about this upcoming election. And if he is a part, this is being asked on CNN. If he's a part of any, you know, doomsday planning. What are doomsday plans? This is pull out all the stops, you know, like accuse Trump of being a Russian agent, kind of pull out all the stops. If he's a part of any doomsday plans and how they're afraid of this upcoming election.
SPEAKER_29Congressman, have uh the House leadership, have Hakeem Jeffries or others or you participated in or held similar uh doomsday uh exercises, as uh Schumer uh termed them that relate to the elections?
SPEAKER_13Well, sure, we're talking about this kind of stuff all the time because look, uh, I'm out campaigning in the country, Casey, and I'm seeing huge surging enthusiasm for Democratic candidates all over America. I'm here with uh my friend Josh Riley right now, Blake Gendebean next. I'm in upstate New York, but we see no republic, no evidence of Republican activity anywhere. I don't even see MAGA hats anymore, which makes me afraid that they're just focused on trying
Midterm Doomsday Planning And Election Anxiety
SPEAKER_13to undermine the election or take the election through some kind of uh strategic mischief.
SPEAKER_05Um so somehow, right? Yeah, we're always doomsday planning. We're always worried about the midterms. All right, obviously, political campaigns are always going to be planning for the midterms, but I believe the doomsday planning is much deeper than that. Remember, Jamie Raskin, he's a rat. He's been involved in all of it. He's run all the air cover through the legislature. He was deeply involved in January 6th and the prosecutions, deeply involved in defending the SPLC. I mean, this guy is just as deep as they come. Um, I think he's a deep corruptocrat. I don't know that he's an ideologue, but you know, he's committed to the cause, man. His wife's job is at risk or whatever, whatever they've got on him. But he mentioned something. He says they don't see a lot of MAGA hats out there. And somehow this is evidence that, you know, the the uh the Republicans aren't even trying to campaign, they're just gonna try to steal the election. It's very possible the Republicans have control over Liberty, um, Liberty voting machines, which took over Dominion, the smartmatic machines, right? So it's possible, and that's what Emmerald Rob Robin alleges is she doesn't want that. The Republicans don't want to get to the bottom of machine fraud because they finally have control of it, right? Which is, I guess, a possibility. That's unfortunate because you know, if you become the very thing you hate, pretty soon you're the monster. So that's Nietzsche, by the way. That's his theory. If you stare into the abyss long enough, you know, the abyss stares back and uh careful not to become a monster. Speaking of becoming a monster, if wearing a red MAGA hat means somehow you're aligned with Laura Loomer and everything she's doing, uh, you're crazy. This is Laura Loomer. She took a trip over to Ukraine, she it did an interview with Zelensky. Now remember, Zelensky is Jewish, okay, and Laura Loomer's Jewish. Okay. Now, both of these kind of have dubious Jewish heritage. We're gonna set that aside. Doesn't matter, that's not what we're here to talk about. But Laura Loomer headed over to Russia and uh did an interview with Zelensky, and you know, in previous she's criticized funding for Ukraine, and all of a sudden now she's like, we need to fund Ukraine. So she went to Russia and she went to one of their drone factories, which this is very impressive, by the way. I mean, these are all weapons of war here, these are bombs that she's holding. And uh, this is Laura Loomer in Russia. This is crazy, and she's honoring Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham, this woman couldn't have cared less for Lindsey Graham other than he supported Israel consistently, okay? But now that Lindsey Graham's gone and Lindsey Graham was an enemy to uh Iran and therefore an enemy to Russia and et cetera, et cetera, here she is in Ukraine. And this is the most this is one of those throw up in your mouth videos.
SPEAKER_28Instead, in honor of Lindsay's commitment to stand for the Ukrainian people and to stand against authoritarianism, they're going to deploy the drone to the front lines so that it can be used to kill Russians. So rest in peace, Senator Lindsay Break, a defender for freedom and liberty all around the world.
SPEAKER_05Okay. The best revenge is a life well lived. Go live a good life. Don't don't go kill other people because it in in my honor. That right there is one of the like, if wearing a red MAGA hat, you know, means I'm with her, uh no, not a hundred percent. Okay. I mean, I'm mature enough, and I hope all of you guys are mature enough that you can, you know, it's a big tent coalition. There's gonna be people in there you don't agree with on everything, but you're gonna get more than what you get if you're not outside the tent. I get that, right? That's that's politics, that's coalition building. But holy smokes, man, holy smokes. She takes this trip to Ukraine, and it reminds me of what she accuses people like Tucker Carlson of. You know, you took a trip to Qatar and you're on their payroll, and now all of a sudden, you know, you're a shill for uh Islamic interests, and you weren't used to didn't used to be like that. That's how I feel about Laura Loomer. Like, how much do you want to bet Laura Loomer got paid? This trip was paid for, she's wind and dying, she's probably getting, you know, some compensation for doing that stuff. Wouldn't surprise me at all. Wouldn't surprise me at all because Laura Loomer is suddenly in the same camp with one of uh my favorite politicians. He's not my favorite politician, uh Mike Pence. So here's Mike Pence outside of the
Loomer In Ukraine And Russia Sanctions
SPEAKER_05camp or wherever he's at, I don't know, he's some somewhere, somewhere hot. There's crickets in the background. But he's here he is, and he's also honoring Lindsey Graham's death because they the Senate and the legislature decided to pass of all the things that they can't get passed, they decided to take up floor time and voting time in order to pass in honor of Lindsey Graham. So because of Lindsey Graham's death, they passed more sanctions against Russia.
SPEAKER_31But you know, what story sticks out to you the most?
SPEAKER_15Oh, there was just an evidence of that. I'll never forget. Traveling to Iraq, we had to refuel in Ireland small airplane, uh G5. We were rolling down uh the runway to take off for the rest of our trip, and all of a sudden the plane powered down. Taxied to the end of the runway and did a 180-degree turn and started back. And I remember looking at Senator McCain and Senator Graham, we didn't know what had happened. But as they powered up to take off in the opposite direction, Lindsay just smiled and said, Iraq is that away. And we all burst out laughing. There was a spontaneity about him, whatever the circumstances, however unpredictable, he always began with a smile, with humor. But I don't want to gainsay the fact that that through successive administrations and and you know changing priorities for the nation, Lindsey Graham was a steadfast, unapologetic advocate uh for America as leader of the free world. And I I believe when the Senate moves that bill tonight, and hopefully the House very soon, and the President signs it, that that Russia sanctions bill will not only be part of Lindsey Graham's enduring legacy, but I I truly do believe uh that uh it could set into motion what I know was his fondest hope, which was a just and lasting peace for the people of Ukraine.
SPEAKER_30And in terms of Ukraine, you told me one of your last conversations with the late senator was about Ukraine.
SPEAKER_15It was. We ran into each other in the airport, and uh after uh you know he said nice things to my wife, as he always did, and we we shared a few laughs. He immediately put his finger in my chest and and uh we spoke about that around sanctions, that uh Russia sanctions bill. I I honestly think it it could well be uh the work of his life if in the aftermath of his passing uh that that uh our nation's capital and the administration step up, put pressure uh on Russia and secure a victory for freedom in Eastern Europe and Ukraine.
SPEAKER_05It could be the work of his life if this administration steps up and puts pressure on Russia through the sanctions package. That that's what I'm led to believe there, right? Okay, so uh because Lindsey Graham died, now we're going to get this now. We're going to get this huge sanction package. So here's Laura Loomer again. Again, all of a sudden now we're all closely allied with Mike Pence and Lindsey Graham on Russia sanctions. The work of his life, by the way, to finally step up and put pressure on Russia, as if we haven't already put pressure on them. Can we even do business with Russia? If you go there, you're, you know, you're terrorists. Like the whole thing. Can you do more? The U.S. Senate advanced Senator Lindsey Graham's Russia Sanctions Bill in an 86 to 12 vote. Oh my gosh, that should be the that should be the vote total for the Save America Act, not for sanctions against Russia. The measure would slap 100% secondary tariffs on nations, still purchasing Russian oil and gas while cracking down on Russia's shadow fleet. Oh my. Ukrainian President Voldemir Zelensky was present in the Capitol and observed the vote from the visitors' gallery. Oh, of course, a visiting dignitary. The 12 senators who vote against the advancing bill were Rand Paul. Hard vote to get. Thank you. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Elizabeth Blunt Rochester, Maggie Hanson, Maisie Hirono, Andy Kim, Ed Markey, John Osov, Alex Pedalia, Peter Welch, and Ron Wyden. Normally anything those guys vote against, I'm usually in favor of, but you know, there I am being a classical liberal. I just, you know, it just seems like Mo problems. All of these senators should be ashamed. Why would they want Russia to get off easy when Russia is assisting Iran with killing US soldiers and they are slaughtering innocent civilians with ballistic missiles? Okay, probably. Yep, yep, yep, okay. Lindsay, Lindsey Graham's life work, and apparently Laura Loomer's gonna pick up the torch. That is interesting to me. I don't care what you say. So, speaking of Russia going into Iran and assisting them, Iran is still obviously a massive thorn in our side. And this might be again another one of the reasons why there aren't a lot of MAGA hats out there. Because if you're wearing a MAGA hat, then if that's interpreted as being pro-war with Iran, I think a lot of people aren't. Now, my opinion's clear, my bias is straight. We had to deal with Iran for a lot of reasons, and of course there were going to be consequences. And oh my goodness, I pray that this thing gets wrapped up quickly. I fear that it's gonna be another long engagement because in principle Iran has the high ground and it's hard to fight uphill. And they now know that they can, for very low cost, control the Strait of Hormuz, even when they're overwhelmed by the largest military on the planet. You know, even though we've quote opened the strait, it's still been a trickle compared to what the flow should be going through Iran. I'm a little bit disturbed, right? President Trump went and eulogized Lindsey Graham at his funeral. And we saw the video from when um Epic Fury broke out and Lindsey Graham was like, oh, this is great. You know, Donald Trump just really wants to bomb these people and he's tickled pink and you know, he likes doing it, blah, blah, blah. I don't know how much of that is rhetoric or just, you know, basically an extension of some type of locker room top talk. But nonetheless, the situation in Iran is real and it's ongoing. So here's Trey Yanks this morning giving us an update because yesterday, yesterday, Iran struck military instrumentations. I shouldn't say struck, launched at military installations, and we had to defeat a a large onslaught onto directly onto military installations over there. And so there's going to be consequences for that, and that's where Trey Yanks picks up the story.
SPEAKER_00President Trump reacting to that Iranian attack on U.S. forces overnight in Jordan. President Trump tells Fox News about Iran, we are going to beat the effing S out of them. He went on to say we'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating. So clearly, the United States is going to respond to what the president described as a surprise attack. He says U.S. forces had just minutes to shoot down these incoming Iranian ballistic missiles. The president says he has reviewed video of the shootdown, and it was U.S. forces conducting this operation to defend that area. He said it was real time. They were calling out coordinates and ensuring that none of this incoming Iranian fire got through. I also asked the president about those U.S. and Saudi airstrikes against Iran-backed Iraqi Shia militias overnight. He says those strikes were coordinated with the Iraqi government. He called these Iran-backed militias a cancer on the world and says he is considering additional warnings against Iranian proxies and their link to the Iranian regime. The president also talked about his meeting yesterday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office. He says it was a great meeting, adding, he understands now.
Iran Escalation And War Eating Everything
SPEAKER_00It appears that the relationship between President Trump and the Israeli Prime Minister is strengthening. And again, the president called that meeting in the oval great. In terms of possible talks with the Iranian regime, the president says we're going to let them keep talking. Remember, the Iranians came to President Trump after 13 straight days of U.S. bombing against Iran, asking to meet about the Strait of Hormuz and their broader nuclear ambitions. And those talks are taking place as we speak behind the scenes. And then the surprise attack launched against U.S. forces overnight. And again, President Trump telling Fox News we are going to beat the effing S out of them and that U.S. strikes will take place against Iran in response to the surprise attack overnight against U.S. forces in Jordan.
SPEAKER_21You know, this whole thing started with epic fury with Israel. Do you sense that there might be a comprehensive play uh in play, a plan in place or working on it that would involve Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, who at various times have taken unilateral action on their own, along with the IDF?
SPEAKER_00It's absolutely possible because the Iranian plan here backfired. By attacking all of these Gulf countries, they built an informal coalition that is now targeting Iranian proxies in the region and even Iranian territory. And we saw that last night on display. Saudi Arabia publicly admitting that they are participating in strikes against Iranian proxies in Iraq alongside U.S. forces. And other countries in the Gulf have participated in limited capacity against the Iranians, targeting some of these coastal areas around the city of Bandar Abbas, next to the Persian Gulf, where many of those U.S. strikes took place. And remember, when we spoke with President Trump earlier this year during Operation Epic Fury, he said he was most surprised by the fact that the Iranians were targeting these countries that were uninvolved, that were not striking Iran at the time. And so again, what Iran has done here by targeting these Gulf countries is actually building this informal coalition that is now being used to pressure the Iranian regime. The question remains if these talks will lead to some sort of agreement. But again, President Trump tells Fox News there will be a U.S. response to this surprise attack overnight against U.S. forces in Jordan.
SPEAKER_05So that's where we're at, right? We've got this continuing conflict in Iran, which is not going away. Yesterday at the end of the show, we played the longer clip about the person who's planned bombing runs in Iran for years and years, and this was always what was going to happen, right? They were going to find out they had this key leverage in the Strait of Hormuz, and that is power. That's trillions of dollars. So, you know, any short-term negotiation is not going to be welcome with what's in play. Now, we have to step back. We have to step back from our really narrow focus. Okay. We have to step back from our really narrow focus, and we have to understand government is a corporation. And as a corporation, this fictional entity, it becomes what I have often referred to as a smoke monster. It kind of takes on a life of its own and does its own things and you know starts to have its own agenda based on these little factions that control different elements of the smoke monster. And right now, one of the things it's trying to maintain control over is the money system, right? It wants to maintain control over money. And on this show, we've been huge advocates of Bitcoin. We've and a and a silver standard previous to that. And just the idea that you want to get out of the money system. Why? Because the money system feeds the war machine, it feeds all this stuff, right? And there's another byproduct of war. Anytime there's chaos and crisis and there's economic pressure and there's fighting, bombs going off in that crisis. A lot of times that's where authoritarians reach and they try to get more power and more control. Bitcoin specifically, but cryptocurrency also introduces elements of fiscal sovereignty, monetary sovereignty, where the individual can control their transactions. Bitcoin's incredible, much different than all the other cryptos, but even in their own little vacuum, all cryptos provide an ability to cut out some of the biggest sectors that um make money off usury. This is the banking industry, right? The fees that you pay for others to hold your money, all of a sudden you can control it through cryptography and it becomes a means of exchange. Peer-to-peer transactions are enabled over the internet rather than just cash face-to-face through um crypto. And Bitcoin has some superpowers. Okay. So there's a gentleman who was Bill Clinton's labor secretary. His number name is Robert Reich, and he um urged he urged Democrats to vote against this upcoming Clarity Act. Okay. He calls it the Bitcoin and Crypto Clarity Act. It's just the Clarity Act. He called it, he says, quote, and this is kind of a quote from Jamie Dimon years ago. It but it he requoted it in his own words. It is only it's only practical uses. What cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin are tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, speculation, and crime. No Democrat should vote for the so-called Clarity Act. Why is that? Okay. So in his perspective, he's saying, listen, the Clarity Act, all that environment is for fraud, whatever. Cynthia Loomis says, well, that's why we need the Clarity Act because we need the government involved in making clear rules of the road on what can be prosecuted, what can't be prosecuted. The Democrats just had an all out war against cryptocurrency, okay, after FTX failed. So they're saying, listen, it's all for fraud. Clarity Act, in my opinion, would change that, and I'll show you here why in a second. But he goes, all Democrats should oppose it. A bill back by the crypto lobby that would make this Ponzi scheme even worse, as in, there would be a transfer of wealth from the traditional legacy banking system in. Into a new cryptocurrency banking system. And he goes, there's no legitimate use for crypto. So I'm not gonna overly debate everything he says, but he does make another really good. Throughout history. So this is him talking about what happens throughout history when there's crisis and war. And on this in general, I do agree. And this is why we this is why we have to be conscientious of what's happening during this time of crisis in Iran. We've got the Russian conflict, we've got all this going on, and we are at the same time trying to overturn our monetary system, which means we got to be eyes wide open.
SPEAKER_01Throughout history, war has always been part of the authoritarian playbook.
Bitcoin Clarity Act And The Surveillance Debate
SPEAKER_01That's because war takes over the news. War blots out criticism, war divides a nation's people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War enables authoritarian leaders to take emergency powers that they use to stifle dissent at home while they falsely claim to bring freedom to others abroad. War consumes everything. We must not let Trump's war in Iran do this. Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead us during this pivotal time in our nation's history. He's unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. He wants to consolidate more power into his hands, no matter what the collateral damage. He's launched a war in the Middle East that's already killing and wounding, but he's done it without our consent, without a plan, without a strategy, and without any clear idea about where it leads or how it ends.
SPEAKER_05Unfortunately for Robert Reich, I agree with everything he's saying until he pins it all on Trump. I want to take Trump out of that conversation. I want to put Trump simply as a figurehead of a corporation who is trying to steer the ship. I really do believe that. Okay. Even his actions in Iran, my opinion, they're justified. And even if there's a high cost in a certain way, it's way more justified than the costs we paid in Iraq and Afghanistan, right? Iran was directly involved in overthrowing our country. Okay. So Trump is a figurehead here. All the power that Trump has, Joe Biden had, you know, with a couple more things, the Supreme Court said, you can fire people finally. The Democrats just didn't want to fire anybody. Okay. But all those powers were there. The NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act that Joe Biden signed in 2012, all of a sudden Trump sits at the head of that. So Robert, Robert's criticism here isn't fair to go against Trump. I would say all presidents have that power and war eats everything. Okay. So that is that is the great caution we have to have here. So what is the solution, right? Robert Reich says Bitcoin, oh, this is only for criminals and money laundering and stuff like that. I don't really agree with that at all. In fact, I think Bitcoin is the ultimate solution. So this is Jeff Booth, who's considered, you know, a very intelligent Bitcoiner. And he is talking about the options here, right? Bitcoin is different than any money supply that has ever existed, and it's different than other cryptocurrencies, which follow the same programs and the same ledger, but they're all recreations. Okay. They're all centralized in one form or another. Bitcoin stands alone and it stands sovereign and it stands totally decentralized. This is always the solution. Yesterday we talked about open source AI. Open source money is also the solution here. So let's listen to Jeff Booth. Just like what Robert Reich is saying, war eats up everything. And in the fiat system, it feeds the war machine and it needs more war. And in more war, more of your rights get taken as privileges. That stupid war on terrorism that started in 2001, that by 2012 they stripped away us, the non-terrorists, the normal American citizens of our rights to fight the quote, global war on terror. And that extends into the money, it extends into everything, right? Once our country made the people of the United States commercial enemies of the United States by blaming the bank runs on us, literally wrote it down in writing. Wrote it down. That's what it says. That is the reason they were able to uh confiscate gold and silver and whatnot. They emergency orders, they blamed it on us, the people. Now everybody who opposes it, the government, the corporation, is a terrorist, can be labeled a terrorist, and you have no rights. You can be black bagged. This is this is what blackpilled me in college. This is why it came out and I was like, I'm voting for all the anti-war candidates. It was this very reason. But we have a solution now, right? Fix the money, fix the world. Jeff Booth.
SPEAKER_025,000 years, we've never lived in a global free market. If if Bitcoin is stays decentralized and secure, then it imposes a global free market. Not maybe, which means it has to come up under attack from all of these things. And it must continually be attacked by all of these things, because the entire monetary system that we measure money through and credit-based note that is non-existent, that exists because we give it power that steals from us, all of the money is in that system and we don't know it. I want to rise the broader way you know it. And so so if I just if I think about that attack and what it would do to and all of the types of things it would do to try to to to go sorry, I'm gonna go back back. If you couldn't get kill Bitcoin through it's it's bad for the environment, China's gonna stop it, we're gonna regulate it to death. If you couldn't kill Bitcoin and it kept on going, you'd have to co-opt it. You'd have to do so so the things that hold on wrote, the things that I I've expected for a long time are just things or just natural evolutions of this thing, does it stay decentralized and secure? And and and then I asked myself the next next question question. Today, if most people are measuring Bitcoin and price go up, and most Bitcoiners, including most Bitcoin, forget that 99% of people who don't understand Bitcoin, most Bitcoiners, the 1%, are measuring in price go up because they're trying to feed their families and they're trying to buy a house and they're trying to everything else, they're not measuring it in the free market, they're measuring it in price go up and fiat dollars so they can take these actions and do this and be the new rich people. And and and and that model of reality, which if you told people two different things, one that matches their reality, prices always go up. Here's a Bitcoin, it'll go up faster than other prices versus the natural state of the free market is deflation and prices should fall. They'll always believe the former that will give the attackers greater greater power to co-op Bitcoin because it's us, it's not them, it's us. And so so all of the things that I would see or expect to see in all of these fights, this fight has to be inside inside ball game money. It has to be right to be able to try to now let's use let's use core as an example an example here, but but of course, if that was the case, you would infiltrate the network to try to move this network into something else. Of course, of course you would. Now you could now if you if you change that network, because I'm not saying everybody in core or anybody with the funds core are bad actors, I'm not saying that to uh at all. I'm saying a centralized group of people that has that has more influence than other people uh in designing the rules, of course, would be subject to this. And it would be really hard to know if you were being manipulated, if you were part, if you were part of that. It would feel like these are my friends, this is where I'm getting paid, this is everything else. It wouldn't, you're not a necessarily a bad actor. You just that this is such a complex topic that no one's ever lived in the free market. So you would it would match your pattern and you would be able to be susceptible to all these things. I'll do the same thing on Knox. You move from this group to another group that is smaller. You could argue the same thing there. How do you protect it from that? And and and so the the the the nuance in these debates is very nuanced because we've never lived in this the this type of uh free market that Bitcoin imposes if it stays decentralized and secure. So that decentralization and security is a critical, critical thing to keep. Now, from that lens, I'm completely aligned with you, completely aligned with you. What are the risks? What do we do? How does it because it means this might look like the battle, right? That we have to do this, but the real battle is coming later, or there's another battle, and there's another battle, and to win the war is going to be a series and series of these battles to keep it decentralized and secure. And that thing, that thing, well, everybody's giving their their energy to a system that steals their energy is going to be constant.
SPEAKER_05That thing, that thing that everybody gives the energy, energy to that steals their wealth, their energy is constant, the fiat system, right? So decentralization of Bitcoin is what gives it its superpowers. And of course, it's a threat to everything, which is why the banking cartels and the Democrats and people who want to centralize control, they don't like Bitcoin. Because if you can control the money, right, you can control everything via the money through regulation, through all the money things, and that's what we see. You can even you can even incentivize corruption, right? And Ayn Rand warned us that about that. In a society where the people who make their wealth by graft and pull rather than by producing things, right, are are the risk. Your country is doomed, and that's kind of where we're at. So decentralization is key. Yesterday we talked about AI and decentralizing AI. Bitcoin decentralizes the money, right? And as long as it stays decentralized, that's where it's an asymmetrical bet. Decentralization always beats out centralization when given a chance. And so that right now in our market with money and with AI, these two, these two opposing forces, which can drag us into a golden age or can take us down to a dark age that'll last a thousand years. We have the capacity to do both with these technologies. If you pair AI with fiat money and centralize AI, we are doomed. If you pair, if you make AI decentralized,
Decentralized Tech From Solar Mesh Nodes
SPEAKER_05it becomes a tool of the people. Pair that with decentralized money, and you will usher in a golden age like you haven't seen. Just like what happened after the United States came out under authoritarian rule monarchy and decentralized money by make going on to a gold standard. It led to a Gilden Age within 100 years, and we saw 5,000 years of technological advancements in 150,200 years. Absolutely incredible what can happen. So I'm all for decentralization, decentralizing government, decentralizing technology, open sourcing things, 100%. Here's another example of how AI we can decentralize AI. So this is a guy. He bought uh he bought a $30 solar metastastic rig from his rooftop across 71 neighbor and then uh from his rooftop and across 71 neighboring nose. It killed his $200 Jet GPT Pro and $200 Clode Code Max. So three months ago, he he bolted a Rack 460 30 LoRa board with a six watt solar panel on a rooftop mount. The whole rig cost him $30 and used marketplace parts. The solar charges under complete cloud cover, and uh he's got the mat there. The panel keeps the battery full even through a full day of cloud cover, mesh handshakes with 71 neighboring nodes automatically. Every prompt over the RF link, the radio frequency link, answers back in under three seconds without cellular. So he's able to replace Claude and ChatGPT Pro, and he's able to use this rooftop powered, solar-powered AI node. Check this out.
SPEAKER_09This is used for off-grid communication. And as you can already tell, that red LED inside there is illuminated, and all that's telling us is this six-watt solar panel is actually charging our battery in here, even though we have complete cloud cover today. The sun's not even out, and we're still getting a charge. That's absolutely phenomenal. And I have this mounted on a rooftop. This is going to service a lot of nodes in my area. I highly recommend investing in a Rack 4630 board like the one I have here. These are absolutely among one of the best for reliability, low power draw, and they're phenomenal for the ability of doing remote firmware upgrades with mesh plastic. Go ahead and mount the solar panel on just like this. I'd say that's a pretty clean setup right there. We got the cable management on point. I'd say that's pretty minty. I'm liking that. We'll go ahead and see if we can make contact with it with the dedicated mesh app. And we're connecting to our roof mode now. Perfect. And we'll go ahead, and looks like we even have a message. Pull up the nodes and look at all those. So 71 nodes. It's picking up so far. That's really impressive. And we even have a message. Let's see what it is. See what channel it is. Oh, there we go. 217 today. Let's see. Is that the one you made using conduit? Hello from tech house. If I can spell tech right, tech house. There we go. Boom. We're in. Let me know in the comments section if you have.
SPEAKER_05So he's using a mesh network through different nodes, which ultimately can connect to the internet, and he's not directly connected, and he's able to run AI. He's able to run an AI platform through that all solar panel charged. That is decentralization of tech, right? That is that is the most cool thing you will ever see. He's going to come up with solutions, ways to decentralize even things like Bitcoin payments. People, well, what happens if the internet goes down? Well then we do this, right? We do this. What happens if the internet goes down and I still want to use AI? Well, hopefully you have your own little local setup going on, right? This is super, super powerful stuff. So decentralization of money and decentralization of tech. And this is important because the machine, it's a corporation, and the corporations are gonna do what they're gonna do. Just like what uh Jeff Booth was saying, right? Decentralization is the key. There's going to be a battle. They're gonna try to co-op this. That's not the worst sign. As long as we maintain our core on being decentralized, we can win this sucker. So here is, oh, I gotta reshare this again. So here is um, this is Aaron Day. This is Aaron Day, and he he scores congressional bills and things like that, up against like freedom standards and privacy standards and things like that. So he scored the Clarity Act. And while I support the Clarity Act, well, I support the Clarity Act primarily because I think it's gonna make dollar go up, it's gonna make all cryptocurrencies and specifically Bitcoin. I think it's gonna be a huge boon. And I do want to see Bitcoin double, triple, quadruple, go up 10 times in the next couple of years, and I think Clarity Act will do that. Why is that? Because yes, of course the banks are gonna be trying to co-opt Bitcoin and things like that, and they're going to add a lot of value to that network. They're going to, they're gonna substantiate it significantly. So I think that's a good thing. And I trust the Bitcoin network. As far as all other cryptocurrencies, I've long accepted the fact that that's going to be the control grid and it's kind of you know coming. Of course it is. So while we're at war, this is where Robert Reich is right. This is the moment where if the crypto, the Clarity Act is the Trojan horse that this guy says it is, of course the timing's right.
SPEAKER_08So I the the algorithm that I have for rating these bills, I applied to this new bill, and it is the worst of them all. It's it scores an 83 out of 100 in terms of kind of a technocracy score. This bill is not only how we will own nothing. Well, excuse me, it is not only the largest surveillance bill in U.S. history, it is how we will own nothing. This bill is about how everything that you own will be tokenized and put under the control of governments and other third parties. And this is not a conspiracy theory, this is literally the construction of the bill. And I want to start with I think the most important thing to understand about the Clarity Act, because people think that the Clarity Act is about crypto, and crypto is a very small part of what the Clarity Act is about. So, for instance, if you think you own your stocks, um you don't, and the Clarity Act is going to actually be the mechanism by which you're dispossessed of all of your assets, not just a control system for how you pay for things. The reason this is important is if you're listening to this and you say, Well, I don't care about crypto at all, or I'm just in gold and silver. Yeah, I knew crypto was a scam. Understand that you know, as it stands today, as it stands today, right?
SPEAKER_05You knew crypto was a scam. That's great. But what he's saying there, and this is Cynthia Loomis has said this, this is a law enforcement bill. And you've got the three major law enforcement unions that have not all now endorsed the bill. He's right. He's right. He's absolutely right. It's going to increase a lot of tracking and control. If you're trying to use crypto for money laundering, crime, et cetera, et cetera, they're right, right? So they want to bring law enforcement into it. Bitcoin has some superpowers that kind of exempts it by its nature from some of that censorship, but you have to know how to use it, which is why I'm taking a class at 1776. Yes, that's right. I'm a student myself at 1776live.us. I'm taking a class from Tom. Um, sometimes joins us in the chats here, is Tomaste, and he is a Bitcoin OG, been around it since 2013, understands it completely, lives on a Bitcoin standard, and it has retired on Bitcoin. So he's an excellent teacher of this, and he talks in depth about how to maintain privacy and you know, obfuscate ownership of Bitcoin, things like that, and all the different details about Bitcoin because it is technology. But if you understand it, it's easy to use. Anybody, anybody can use Bitcoin. Once you understand it, it's like, oh my gosh, making a wire transfer is harder than moving a billion dollars in Bitcoin. So, anyways, the Clarity Act though is up, and there's been a lot of questions on if it's gonna pass, it misses July 4th deadline. Obviously, the Trump administration supports it. I generally support it because I think it'll make dollar go up. I'm obviously taking precautions to make sure I can still live in the private. Um, so you know, I think I think that it's gonna happen and it's kind of inevitable because government does what government does. How do I know this? You know, even though you've got Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and others saying,
Closing With Rick Scott Versus Fauci
SPEAKER_05Hey, we've got to stop this Clarity Act and blah blah blah, they're really shilling for the banks. It doesn't matter. Bloomberg reported yesterday that there are ten, there are ten Democrats who are prepared to support the Clarity Act, which is enough to get it out of committee and get it to the floor for a vote.
SPEAKER_12So how you sort of thread the needle there is what they're discussing behind closed doors. Tom Tillis, Republican of North Carolina, is working with Ruben Gallego of Arizona, a Democrat. They are uh trying to come up with some kind of compromise legislation to send to the White House this week in hopes of unlocking a deal. There are seven to ten Democrats who sound like they want to ultimately pass a bill, but this is just very hard for them politically. Even if they like the underlying bill, they're gonna face challenges in Democratic primaries from their own base saying, hey, you just backed legislation that the president that they don't like wants at a time when he's making literally billions of dollars. Now, I think one of the things that they've been discussing is whether there could be a more independent way to enforce uh the new restrictions on the president, which would require him to either have a blind trust or just divest his uh holdings. But it's really hard to see how you can get the president on board with that.
SPEAKER_05So basically, Donald Trump's pump and dump schemes that he did when he was running are coming back to bite him in the butt. But it might be good because maybe we don't need the Clarity Act, maybe we don't want it, right? For Bitcoin, it doesn't matter. But uh it would make the number go up, but uh, if we got a cold slog through it, we believe in the fundamental principles of Bitcoin. And it's you know, if it stays decentralized, it forces everyone else to participate eventually. More Americans own Bitcoin than own gold. That's important. Kevin Wars says Bitcoin is gold for people under 40. Whether or not the Clarity Act passes, Bitcoin is the only thing that will allow you to maintain privacy in the world that's coming. And the only thing that's gonna maintain our sovereignty is if we don't become the uh puppets of the AI tools, but we become its masters. We've got to learn how to use it, decentralize it, and potentially even use it when the grid goes down. Because if they try to control the grid, you're gonna want those radio frequencies, signals, and nodes, and everything. But that's that's the power of decentralization, and I support Jason Huang and other technocrats that are uh uh adopting open source as um kind of role for things. Here's how you all right. Let's wrap up with this. Let's jump back to Anthony Fauci. This is Rick Scott, uh cross-examining Anthony Fauci. Cross-examining Anthony Fauci. This is a good one. We'll wrap up on this today, and uh, when this is over, we'll talk to you again tomorrow.
unknownDr.
SPEAKER_23Fauci, I want to close with this. Here's how you impacted my family and people close to me. I have daughters with children. You can't imagine the questions they had around vaccines for their kids and themselves, and the pressure, the unbelievable pressure to make the right decision for their health. I can tell you pregnant women who worked with me were so scared because every time they went to the doctor, they were told something different about taking the vaccine and you causes. Imagine being a mom trying to protect their kids, or an expectant mother trying to figure out what to do. Every three weeks a doctor tells you a new set of guidance on a vaccine. The haphazard information you released and pushed on the American people with little research is appalling. And why there's so little, there's so much distrust in our institutions today. That trust is crucial to public health, and you, more than any person or event in my lifetime, have destroyed that trust for millions of Americans. You lied to hundreds of millions of people amid the worst public health crisis in a century. You failed to follow your own guidance. You forced people to watch their loved ones die alone over the phone. It's disgusting. You destroyed the federal government's credibility when it comes to public health. We have entire generations of Americans who rightfully so do not trust your institution to keep people safe because of you. This has destroyed decades of progress and lifetimes of work because you wanted to fuel your own ego and be the center of attention. What would you do differently knowing what you know today, Dr. Fauci?
SPEAKER_20On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
SPEAKER_23All the evidence is right here, and you still can't bring yourself to tell the truth or apologize because you received an auto-pin pardon from a staffer in the Biden White House. If we have another pandemic tomorrow, millions could die because of what you did, what you did to make Americans lose trust in their government when it comes to medicine and health care. How many families have you apologized to had to watch their loved ones die alone? You breached public trust, and now you're hiding behind a fraudulent pardon. Your legacy will not be as a man who has saved America from COVID, but as a man who destroyed the public trust in America's public health institutions in exchange for five minutes of fame.
SPEAKER_05That's what he's gonna be remembered for. What a great, what a great little deal there. All right, you guys, thank you so much for joining me. I appreciate it. Ron, you gotta figure it out. Figure out how you can join me. We'll talk to you guys again.
