Why The Little Guys Feel Cornered By Debt And Data

They can call it “safety,” “efficiency,” or “modernization,” but it often feels like the same story: more power for institutions and fewer options for regular people. We start the morning with a blunt truth about being the “peasants,” then get specific fast with surveillance tech like Flock cameras and the chilling idea of AI-assisted access to financial data. If you’ve ever wondered how quickly a tool meant for one purpose can become a tool for everything, we lay out why that slope is real and why it rarely runs in reverse.

From there, we jump into the Bitcoin surge and what it says about today’s markets. We break down volatility, short liquidations, and why sentiment can flip on a dime, especially when traders crowd the same narrative. We also zoom out to the bigger macro picture: $40 trillion in US debt, interest rates that hit every household, and the “debasement trade” logic that keeps showing up whenever governments try to manage their way out of impossible numbers.

We close with a mix of accountability stories and local stakes: special mortgage programs that avoid interest, investigations that hinge on seized devices, election integrity claims centered on ID loopholes, and a Kitsap County ballot measure that looks like a simple study but could become a blank check for a utility takeover. If you care about privacy, crypto markets, inflation, voter ID, and energy costs in Washington, this one connects those dots with zero patience for spin.

Cold Open And Morning Roll Call

SPEAKER_14 0:29

We're getting screwed, man. Every time we turn around, we're getting screwed. The revolution's gonna be pretty cool for sure. It's the little guys, the little guys that take the point everything. It's gonna be peasants, man. We're just peasants. Every one of us. You watch those old movies, you see the peasants in the background with the kings and kings walking around. We're those people. We're those people. Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. It's so funny due to the intro, we just are like sitting silently. Like, we're live. John Attackis is in the house. Great morning from the car. I know he's driving on Tesla. How fun is that? Sarah sings, it's Friday and we got the rain. And I bet they need it in Oklahoma. Carlitz, Space Race Team Player One reading for Artemis 3 takeoff. Hopefully it takes Bitcoin to the moon.

SPEAKER_03 1:33

You know, it's funny you mentioned that because um when you mentioned that this morning, I remembering, like, you know, like co hosts on the radio, John Curly and whatnot. Uh huh. Have you ever watched him on air, like live, like on TV? Uh, I've watched clips. They do that the exact thing. They sit there just hey, let's we're live.

SPEAKER_14 1:56

Oh, that's kind of funny. That's fun. Yep. Nope. It's fun putting the show on every morning for you guys. This morning I got up and I thought, no, another day. Gotta go get space race team player run, all informed on the news. Carlito Tiffany, good morning from YouTube Thundering. Oh, good morning, cheeseburger lovers. Yes, yes, live from Wisconsin is Mark and 967 and pre the Rosary Daily. Happy Friday. We got the crew in the house. How fun is that? All right. I got one more clip.

So glad you made it. We did. Guess what? Bitcoin's up, Ron. Ron owed me. He ended up owing me the uh the coke. He's no sprite for Ron. Bitcoin peaked out this morning at about 1:56 a.m. Pacific time at $78,956. It currently sits at 77,241.

SPEAKER_15 2:56

Yeah, that's pretty fun. I'm gonna leave this thing over here. I gotta keep an eye on that.

SPEAKER_14 3:01

It's kind of fun to watch it go to the moon. Bitcoin has done some amazing things. We'll talk about it in just a few minutes. And but before we do, we need to do the simultaneous step. Douglas Wyatt made it. Good morning, peasants. Glad you're there. Yesterday we had the highest ever viewership on Rumble. Excellent. Yeah. So when you guys see it out there, you see like raw views or whatever. I see I only pay attention to unique views. I just care about each individual IP address. Because if you come back and have to watch the show in one or two segments or you refresh, it might click a new raw view, right? But when I look at unique views, I get to see actually people who tuned in. Biggest show we ever had yesterday. Excellent. So apparently you guys are interested in the markets or something. I don't know what it was. Thursday was a big day. All right, you guys pile in bright and early for the simultaneous sip. And all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard, a chalice of stein, a canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. This morning, I like Ron's Diet Coke for winning our bet. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. The simultaneous sip, and it starts right now.

Flock Cameras And IRS AI Fears

SPEAKER_20 4:37

And we must continue utilizing flock technologies so that we can follow and surveil the rebel scum as they move from playground to playground, from playground to pool, from pool to gymnasium. Because we all know that the flock cameras are not only following the license plate readers, they are following children. They are following children in parks and gymnasiums. And we need this. I need this so I can stop my ex-girlfriend.

SPEAKER_10 5:04

Thank you. It's been a great day, Matt's all.

SPEAKER_14 5:07

Thank you. Darth Vader wants us to keep the flock camera. It's a tool of authoritarianism. Why would you give something up like that? They fought hard to see this day. To go after the rebel scum as they go to pool to playground and playground to pool. Oh man, I saw that. I was like, that's an opener right there. Oh, how fun is that? All right, guys. Speaking of Darth Vader coming after you, do you remember this clip from the IRS? Do you remember this?

SPEAKER_07 5:39

So AI has access to like everybody's bank account.

SPEAKER_09 5:45

They they see that mount in their bank account, yes. Like Pam, is it constitutional to do that? Really? They are the problem like going after the small people, you know, putting people in prison, like destroying people's life. Really? They have no problem doing that. They said that we were all nice when we started. Now look at us. Like look we have like robots right here. I can't wait to give this news to all of my friends. Yeah, please don't tell them my name.

SPEAKER_08 6:31

No, not to the whole people.

SPEAKER_07 6:36

That's actually it's it's it's a pretty basic.

SPEAKER_09 6:41

Right? Yeah, like it's in six months they were able to capture half a billion dollars.

SPEAKER_07 6:48

Do you have warrants to go into like the accounts to find the half a billion dollars?

SPEAKER_09 7:02

Department of Justice and um Inspector General.

SPEAKER_02 7:06

It's like he went into the army.

SPEAKER_09 7:08

When I went to the criminal investigation unit, tonight's telling me like the next person you shoot, you're gonna remember. But after that, you're gonna shoot like 100 people, they're not gonna remember any of them.

SPEAKER_14 7:23

The first person you shoot, you're gonna remember, but after that, you're gonna shoot like 100 people. That was an IRS criminal investigator. You know, AI going into the bank accounts. Are you supposed to do that? No, but we do it anyways. We need the AI and the flock cameras to suppress the rebel scum. You know, I I just I saw that clip again, and it's it's been around for a little bit, but it's one of those things where it's like, guys, let's not give the government any more power. What do you think, Ron? Do you think that's a good idea? I think we should, you know, there there is an argument about privatizing a lot of this stuff in order to insulate it from the government. The problem is what we've

Bitcoin Rip Higher And Volatility

SPEAKER_14 8:00

learned with our current setup is sure, you can have a private corporation, but the government can regulate it, including give us all your files, you know. So it's kind of a rough deal. Now, Bitcoin, we mentioned it already this morning, it has been popping, which makes perfect sense because it was just two weeks ago that Jim Kramer, the master of the turnaround, gave it his blessing. Bitcoin is wanting.

SPEAKER_31 8:27

I'm gonna sell one. You are, yes, absolutely, just on what he said. Well, well, he's he's the man. He's a man.

SPEAKER_07 8:38

Three, four years. David, you know when three, four years is like tomorrow. Did he give you any uh reassurances in terms of what happened last quarter?

SPEAKER_14 8:47

I don't know if we have a little sound about so Jim Kramer is afraid of the quantum, the quantum threat to Bitcoin. It's so funny. The quantum threat to Bitcoin is only ever talked about by the people that have an opposing interest to Bitcoin, right? But the Bitcoiners were like, we're already quantum safe. So since Jim Kramer said that Bitcoin has absolutely exploded. Bitcoin has surged 27% from 17,000. Oh 70,000 to 60,000. Uh what is it? Bitcoin? Bitcoin surged 27 and 17,200 from 60,300 to 70. What?

SPEAKER_03 9:23

Yeah, that's a weird wording.

SPEAKER_14 9:24

Yeah, it's a weird wording. Anyways, Bitcoin. Look at the chart here. Look at this chart.

SPEAKER_03 9:28

Yeah, wow.

SPEAKER_14 9:29

Two days ago. You know, they say Bitcoin's volatile. Yep. It turns out Bitcoin in the last couple days has outperformed the market ever. Absolutely historic. Bitcoin is moving 140 times faster than the stock market. Bitcoin has surged over 20% in less than five days, rising from roughly 63,000 to 77k. By comparison, the SP has historically returned around 10% per year. Bitcoin just delivered the same return in under five days, wrestly 140 times faster. It is now erasing nearly three months of losses in five days and posting its strongest weekly rally since February 2024. This is unbelievable. Now, there's a lot of analysts out there as Tomaste calls them the ever bears and the ever bulls. They're always one way or the other. And there's some always bulls who are like, I called the last market bottom. Listen, man, if you call a market bottom every single week for 10 years, you know, it's like a blind squirrel finding nuts.

SPEAKER_03 10:27

Everybody's day bear, right?

SPEAKER_14 10:29

Yeah. And you know, you can you can always predict a doom day's market in a fiat system, but uh, and then you've got always bears that are always like, we don't understand why the price is going down. But nonetheless, it seems like pretty much consensus, the whole world's waiting for October. And uh, heard someone yesterday saying that Bitcoin always has a way of doing exactly what you think it will do, but not when you think it's gonna do it. He's like, So if the whole world thinks it's gonna be October and people are waiting for October to see the real bottom in late September, he's like, it's probably gonna go up in September. You know, it has a tendency to always do exactly what you expect when you don't expect it, you know. So it'll be pretty interesting. Uh billionaire Van Eck Matthew Van X Matthew from Sigil tells told CNBC is he had a prediction last year that Bitcoin, he had a prediction last year about Bitcoin this year going to 100,000. And he I guess he's been right on most of his semi-predictions. And uh he predicts by 2029 500k.

SPEAKER_26 11:26

100K now, later in the future. I mean, could it go higher? But in all seriousness, what do you see as as likely to be the next high when?

SPEAKER_01 11:35

Well, so far the move is all uh short covering. Uh, you know, there's been $3 billion of short uh liquidations and in the last 24 hours. That it's an all-time record. So, you know, it feels like if we get the real money stepping in, maybe we go higher. Nothing is in a straight line. I told you guys 100K would be next year. Uh still believe that. And then, you know, long-term 2029 say we can hit 500k if the if the cycle plays out as usual.

SPEAKER_14 12:01

I love these billionaires that come out and talk like this because you don't become a billionaire unless you're like Mark Zuckerberg or you know, these guys. But like these billionaires that make their money in the markets, that's what they do, man. They watch spreadsheets, they watch trends, they watch how news affects things. So you tend to kind of respect their their uh claims a little bit. Uh, this is Lynn Alden, and she was on CNBC, and she was kind of talking about all the indicators with Bitcoin as far as maybe the bottom being in.

SPEAKER_12 12:32

Um, so what does all of this mean for Bitcoin? And the move higher we saw, the violent move higher, we saw yesterday uh a mid-force liquidation and a short squeeze.

SPEAKER_29 12:41

Yeah, so Bitcoin, I mean, the sentiment's been very low. Uh, the fast money has long since moved out toward AI names. Uh, and as we saw, I mean, even a fairly small move in price and in Bitcoin terms caused that kind of record liquidations, uh, which shows just how bearish the sentiment and positioning was. Um, I think that, you know, while we could this could be another false breakout. I mean, May, you know, we saw higher numbers and we we rolled back over to slightly lower lows than we saw in February. So it's I don't think Bitcoin's out of the woods yet, but I do think that by by almost every metric, Bitcoin is near the low end of its valuation and sentiment range. Uh fast money's washed out, strategy already uh kind of recapitalized its dollar position, so it kind of took that overhang of potential kind of further selling uh off the market for a while. Uh, there's really not a lot of downside catalyst for Bitcoin left. Uh, and even relatively small upside gains at this point can attract new types of buyers. Once people see that the chart doesn't look bad anymore, you can get technical traders coming back in. Uh, if you get further momentum, you know, say months from now, you can get more momentum traders back in. Uh, so I think, you know, with a with a multi-year time frame, uh, Bitcoin is is positioned here, both just fundamentally from where money has gone, but also from the dynamics we just talked about, basically that that they're gonna do some version of financial repression between the treasure and the Fed, you know, potentially alternating. And the ultimate beneficiary of that is is part assets that are underowned.

SPEAKER_12 14:06

Um, in terms of what could trigger some of those upside gains, at least in

Bulls Bears And The October Question

SPEAKER_12 14:10

the nearer term for but or maybe even in the longer term for Bitcoin. I mean, uh, should we be talking about the re-emergence here then of, say, a debasement trade, especially when you see gold, for example, now surpassing uh U.S. Treasuries as the world's largest central bank reserve asset?

SPEAKER_29 14:25

I think long term, yeah. I think some of these trades got ahead of themselves. I mean, last year, uh, you know, gold had that two-year very strong run uh that culminated at over 5,000. Bitcoin briefly got over 125,000. Strategy was trading at you know, three times uh, you know, its net asset value. Um, uh, and so the things were heated. Uh, and I think that the correction was warranted across a number of these assets. Uh, but I think the long-term story remains uh in place that you know when it when a country gets this indebted, there's various techniques to basically gradually try to inflate away the bonds. Uh that currency itself is generally what takes the hit. Uh, and if you own scarce assets, whether it's high quality equities or you know hard monies in this case, uh, as long as they are not too overowned or overbought at the time, uh, they tend to be beneficiaries. Uh, and right now I think Bitcoin's kind of near the bottom end of it of its uh cyclical range, uh, which I think you know, looking back two, three years from now will be seen as uh uh having been a good buying opportunity.

SPEAKER_14 15:28

Exactly. And she says right there, right, when a when a country gets into kind of this debt problem, there's a very well-established game plan to get out of the debt problem. It's a the debestment trade, the turn on the printers, right? Make it look like the economy's growing because everybody's making more money. Meanwhile, business owners are like, I'm selling less widgets, but I'm making more gross, but I had to raise wages, I make less profit, but you grew. Look, your top line is bigger. You know, it's like, yeah, because there's more dollars chasing the same widgets, right? So that's that's an inevitable problem that we're going to face. JD Vance was on Newsmax yesterday, and he was talking about the national debt. Because obviously, not only did Scott Bessant do the bond buybacks and all the stuff they done, but we also our national debt surpassed $40 trillion.

SPEAKER_33 16:20

Bondholders. And I'm looking at this as like, look, yourself, you're a VC guy, President Trump, lifelong business guy. Um, is there anything on the horizon to look at this? Potentially, Trump was uh President Trump was talking about a uh crypto reserve with Bitcoin and XRP and a few other things. Is there anything on the horizon to start offsetting this?

SPEAKER_31 16:41

So there are a couple things the president has talked about to try to address this problem. First of all, he he's talked about a sovereign wealth fund because as you know, actually the stock market, the equity market has performed a lot better than the bond market. There's a weird way where American taxpayers are getting fleeced because of the very high debt charges. By the way, very high debt charges that started under the Biden administration. This is a crisis that we inherited, and I think has gotten better. I'm not saying that everything is fixed, but it has certainly gotten better. The other thing is that Scott Besent, the amazing Treasury Secretary, he has had a very discrete plan, of course, supported by the president of the United States to get the United States to a point where our economy is growing faster than our debt. And if you look, we are on track. So even though the debt is too high, even though we inherited this debt bomb from the Biden administration, we actually do have a plan to get the economy growing faster than the debt. And that's the most important thing. The issue that we've had under the Biden administration and what we're still kind of dealing with is that the debt was growing faster than American GDP. That's the problem. That's something that we're certainly fixing every single day in the Trump administration. But but you know, even though the media doesn't cover this, I'm glad you're asking this question because Scott Bissent is very much on top of it. He knows it's a problem and he's got the president's empowerment to do something about it.

SPEAKER_33 18:06

Well, I mean, we've seen just I think it's almost 19 trillion of foreign investments over the next 10 years come in under this president. The other thing is uh in that same vein, the Clarity Act, okay.

SPEAKER_14 18:16

All right, then go on to talk about the Clarity Act because as we've talked about and you've heard Cynthia Loomis talk about, right? Bitcoin is a strategic part about offsetting the national debt. And then on top of that, they've got the pro-growth policies, right? We want to outgrow it. Your debt is too high. You've got two solutions cut the debt, cut the spending, I don't know, file bankruptcy. Did that once, 1933, okay? Or you can grow out of it. Go get a new job, increase your skill sets, right? New streams of income. So,

Debt At 40 Trillion And Grow Out

SPEAKER_14 18:45

what has Trump done? Oh, let's throw some tariffs over here, let's get some Intel stock over here. Let's, you know what I mean? Let's uh go ahead and you know stimulate growth by reducing taxes in this sector and this sector and this sector. And so they're doing everything they can to try to get growth to happen. So Scott Bessett was on CNBC and he addressed this issue of the $40 trillion debt bond and kind of alluded to what the plan is, which you've already heard and let's grow out of this thing.

SPEAKER_27 19:09

Mr. Secretary, which is you know, strong signal from the administration on on the buybacks, but you know, the fundamentals are ultimately what is what is going to prevail here in the bond market. And the fundamentals are hard to ignore when it comes to the size of our our debt with public debt increasing to now $40 trillion.

SPEAKER_30 19:26

Yeah, I mean, look, uh there's nothing magic about the 40 trillion number. Uh, and we can grow our way out of that. So, but what what what we do want to signal is I I think that there's been a lot of misinformation in terms of what's going on with the deficit, what's going on with the deficit to GDP. We actually had a fiscal consolidation for the calendar year 2025. You know, we we had we were at about 5.7 percent of GDP, and one of the things that's temporary here that's influencing the deficit uh has been these tariff refunds. And uh we won't have to do that again. And the ambassador Greer, through the 301 process, is re-implementing the same level of tariffs. And I would expect that our 2026 tariff income is going to be roughly what it was in 25, and we're gonna be able to keep that in terms of the budget consolidation.

SPEAKER_14 20:23

Uh yeah, that whole tariff refund thing. He he actually later on in the day, or maybe just before he did this interview, he was outside and uh a reporter was asking about it, and he's like, America had the money, the Americans had the money, it was in our treasury, and he's like, You and your idiot lawsuit Democrats forced us to return it, and now we got to get it back. It was kind of a funny deal. He's like, We could have been issuing refunds, instead, we gave it to the companies. So not only did the customers pay, but then the companies got a refund, which basically means the tariff became pure profit for those corporations andor nation states who paid the tariffs. And he's like, You just like he's like, How the Supreme Court did that? They literally, oh, consumers pay the tariffs. Fair enough, right? I guess the price reflects it, but really they cut the check. It's a protectionist policy. But then when you had to refund it, the consumers had paid whatever increase there was to the pricing, and now it just got transferred straight over as pure profit. In some instances, as much as 50% of whatever the value of the good was. I mean, above and beyond, you know what I'm saying? So absolutely destructive policy. Oddly enough, I do support that they did it that way because that was based on the Trading with the Enemies Act and and all those regulations. And if you follow that to the letter of the law, there's a lot of remedy for we the people as far as discharging of debts. So, anyways, interesting, interesting. Scott Besnett was also out asking, uh answering questions from reporters. Tomaste says that uh the book Broken Money by Lincoln. Alden was a great read. That's who we just heard on CNBC before. So this is Scott Bessant talking about the bond rate, the interest rates, kind of justifying what he did. But there's this thing hanging out there that he says about he doesn't know why oil went up. And uh one of the commentators online said, if the Secretary of the Treasury doesn't know why oil spiked, we're doomed.

SPEAKER_30 22:22

Yeah, well, anything that happens within a 24-hour period is noise. And you know, I I think that once the market understands that we are focusing on fiscal consolidation and that we are uh trying to bring the market back into equilibrium uh in a thinly traded market. I think uh you know I'm confident that bonds will continue declining. We've got a spike in oil prices today that I don't really understand. You know, our announcement is for uh economic uh action, and I think that the economic action will mean that oil prices will come down sooner.

SPEAKER_14 23:03

Yeah, it doesn't really understand the spike in the alien market. Very, very interesting. So that's good. I I there are no good answers. Let's be put it that way. There's no great solution to $40 trillion in debt. I mean, this is this is I I heard someone analyzing this, giving very round numbers. He's like, you earn $100,000 a year, you borrow from me $700,000 a year, and then you borrow an additional $40,000 a year every year while you pay off a 30-year, $700,000 debt. But it's okay at the end of the 30 years, uh, you'll pay me back, right? And he's like doing the math. He's like, what kind of creditor would do that? And he's like, yet that is the proposition that the United States makes every day to people who buy bonds across the world, right? I want to borrow seven times my income. Oh, and by the way, I then want to borrow all the payments on it. And but trust us, at the end of the line, we'll we'll ultimately pay you back. Better start growing, young man. You know what I'm saying? Like you better get your get your uh your income up a little bit because if you stay at that hundred thousand dollar mark, you ain't ever gonna make it. And a lot of this has to do with, and and you know, there's a million different factors that factor all into this. But one of the factors that cannot be discounted is how other nations have taken advantage of us as a reserve currency by undercutting us, right? They play this the arbitrage game, right? There's no real value being created other than through policy and things like that, you can control your bond market, your interest rates, and therefore you can kind of manipulate yourself around the dollar. Switzerland is one of the countries that has done this, and Trump addressed this directly yesterday in a press conference.

SPEAKER_22 24:42

Very sad. Every time we do great, we announce great numbers, the interest rates go up. And they go up because they want to stop inflation. They should go down because the country's strong. You know, I see countries like Switzerland where they're the number one lowest interest rates, a half a percent, and we pay three and a half percent. And yet, if we stop doing business, for instance, I have the absolute right to cut off all business with a country like Switzerland or like Canada. So why are they prime if I can cut off the business and they are no longer functional? And yet they're considered to be like an elite country. And I don't want to single them out because there's 60 countries like that. They live off the United States. So why are we paying higher interest rates than them? You know, in the old days, we used to pay the lowest interest rate, no matter how we were doing, because we sort of generate for the whole world. And I want to see it where interest rate, and and I have to tell you, we have a wonderful chairman. I think he's doing a great job. The problem is he has a board, and it's a political board. It's

Interest Rates Tariffs And Bond Talk

SPEAKER_22 25:40

people put in by Obama, Biden, and me. And uh there are quite a few members still left, as you understand. And so they vote to raise interest rates. I don't know if they're doing it because they think they're doing a good thing or because they like the politics of it. But my point is years ago, 25 years ago, when the country announced good numbers, interest rates went down because we had a stronger country. Now, when we announce good numbers, the better they are, the worse it is for interest rates. So we could be, we could have a GDP of 10 times. You know, they say, oh, it's gonna be three times or 4.1. Uh we could have a GDP of 10, 12, 15 times if they just leave us alone. Let us let the rates go down. We should pay the lowest interest rates. You know, every point of interest is six hundred billion dollars. Think of that. Every point of interest is six hundred billion. Two points means we make a fortune, but we keep driving it up. It's a very unfair system. And I've said it now for a long time.

SPEAKER_14 26:44

When our Yeah, you want to know one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard is that there are certain borrowers in the United States that can structure loans without interest. Did you know about this? Yeah, so I guess Islamic loans and Jewish loans, kosher loans as they call them, are interest-free loans. And Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will buy them. And they also do an Amish loan that does have interest, but it's structured a little bit differently. Did you know that? No. Yeah, so even inside of the United States, certain groups are taking advantage of the system. And the interesting thing, he's absolutely right there, right? Switzerland being the example he points out. They got the lowest interest rate, a half a percent, but yet I can cut off trade with them and destroy them. Why would their interest rate be so low? Because this the dollar is so so secure, that whatever their currency is, is so secure that that half a percent is worth it because it maintains its value, no inflation, that kind of thing. But it's an insecure investment. It's not a sovereign nation, right? These other nations that manipulate their rates to get below the dollar, it gets people borrowing money from them, they leverage against it. This is the same thing that was going on in Japan. They're not sovereign nations. They all rely on the United States either defending the trade routes or continuing to trade with them and prop up their government. So why do they have lower rates than the prime people? People could not buy our bonds. We still have forests, we still have oil, we still have coal, we still have wheat and soybeans. I don't know who likes to eat those things, right? But you go on it. We have everything we need to be a completely self-sovereign independent nation. I mean, this is the this is what Russia's proven. Yeah, you can cut us off. Look, we have everything we need to survive. Switzerland doesn't, right? So that that is a really interesting thing. I I really appreciate what Trump's doing, bringing attention to this. Here's what I was talking about, these Amish loans. This is Bill Polte. So apparently, this got into the news cycle yesterday. Natalie Winters and a couple others brought these these loan mortgages out. And here's a little thing you know, you've got Mersaka Islamic Finance Mortgages, must be mutually exclusive, below rate market pricing, like they get all these special benefits. So Polte, after this was pointed out, said effective immediately, these programs, along with kosher and Amish programs, will be open and marketed to all Americans. So if you're in the market for a house or some piece of property, check out these loans. Like the Islamic loans, the way they work is they're not allowed to pay interest. So when you buy the house, what happens is you co-own the house with the financier. So you give them 20% equity ownership in the house, and then you make non-interest payments to them until you take full ownership. But see, part of that also means they can't foreclose on you, right? So yeah, you pay a pay make a payment with no interest associated, they still have a profit because they what they become is they become partial owners. So now they can make a profit rather than make interest, whatever. But it eliminates a lot of the foreclosure problems with these mortgages because they're equity owners, they're not financiers. So if the project goes belly up, guess what? They took some of the risk with you. So something to really interest, uh pay attention to. It should also really, really bother you that those loans were out there and not advertised that could go to those groups, right? How do you get a leg ahead? Well, make the regulations such that you can't lose. You telling me if you had an Islamic loan or a kosher loan, you can't be foreclosed on? Sure would have been nice to have one of those in 2008, 2009, 2010. You know what I mean? When half the country was losing their house, it seemed like for a minute. So that's a pretty big deal. I'm I'm excited about that. Uh another God's Army Brett says, Why do we need to choose a loan that isn't destroying us?

unknown 30:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 30:38

Yeah. Why do we need to choose a loan that isn't destroying us? Because then it won't destroy you. I think that's what you meant to ask. Okay. Another interesting thing, not just interesting, phenomenal, wonderful, or or it's a cover-up job. We will find out. But yesterday in a San Francisco airport, something pretty I'll just call it entertaining happened.

SPEAKER_02 31:02

See, that was seized. Again, all part of that federal criminal probe. Agents apparently took a white Apple iPhone along with its charging cable

Specialty Mortgages And Foreclosure Limits

SPEAKER_02 31:10

and the wall charger, as well as, and this is key, an Apple MacBook Pro. Again, according to that inventory, which was signed by FBI special agent Kyle Biebsheimer. Agents also executed, as you pointed out, a warrant at his home in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, where again they seized other potential evidence. Now, you may recall that Swalwell, who was in the bid of a shot at the governor's mansion in California, bowed out abruptly after facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, including claims from a former staffer who alleged that he raped her twice when she was too intoxicated to consent. Another woman accused him of drugging her before assaulting her in 2018, and two other women still alleged that he sent them unsolicited images of his genitals. And of course, who could forget the infamous Feng Fang affair, the one that apparently ensnared the congressman, former congressman, into a sexual relationship with an alleged Chinese spy. In fact, just this past Monday, newly classified records were released, detailing his past interactions with the spy, all part of the White House Transparency Task Force records dump, which is a tale that Swalwell told the feds he had occasionally hooked up with Fang. And if that weren't bad enough, Swalwell also facing scrutiny from the Manhattan, New York District Attorney's Office and the LA Sheriff's Uh Department as well. Again, all related to impropriety.

SPEAKER_14 32:36

See that crazy. You know, we've talked about the Fang Feng thing, but there's a movie called Red Sparrow with Jennifer Lawrence, right? It's where she's basically an intelligence operative for Russia and she's a sex bot. Sex kitten. That's Bang Fang, right? Like, like you see, that's like she came to America to seduce politicians, and once she had one wrapped around her finger, she was having that politician put other spies in other offices. This is full-on Hollywood quality espionage. Like, there has to be a movie made about this someday. The Democrat Party will have probably dissolved because they would never let that movie get made, but there's got to be a movie made about this someday. It is absolutely insane. Well, he got stopped at the airport. They showed up, they took his cell phone. I don't know why they took the wall charger. Why did they take the wall charger? Is our wall charger capturing data that we don't know about? I don't know. Like, what's going on? Why will a wall charger? That's the weird thing to me. Somebody needs to look that up and figure out why the FBI would seize a wall charger as part of a warrant. That's weird to me. I don't know. Anyways, they seized his devices, they raided his home. That's a I mean, these are this is a huge deal, man. Like, you know, when the FBI comes and asks for something from you, there's usually going to be follow-on conversations, right? It's usually gonna go go up from there. So Andrew McCabe, who we do not love, right? Who's Andrew McCabe? He was the deputy director of the FBI, he was the count, uh, he was um he's the one who opened up a lot of these investigations into Trump. Complete, total sleaze back, right? Total sleaze back. But nonetheless, he does understand the process of seizing devices because he himself has done it many, many times. So he was on CNN describing the process and what the government must have on Swalwell to get those devices.

SPEAKER_32 34:25

Probable cause to believe that there is evidence of a federal crime on those phones or in that residence. And so clearly they were able to convince two judges uh to go along with these search warrants. What they would be looking for in the in the electronics devices is primarily things like evidence of communication. So phone calls, text messages, emails, things of that nature. They'd also be looking for association evidence, just trying to figure out um whether or not they can connect the former congressman to, let's say, a potential victim, somebody who's spoken to them about being victimized. In the residence, they would be looking for that sort of material as well, as well as other things like maybe photographs or uh evidence of travel or evidence of that puts essentially the former congressman and some of these victims in the same place at the same time.

SPEAKER_14 35:21

And I just noticed something on his bookshelf back here. Did you guys see this? It's a pineapple up on top of the bookshelf just sitting there all by itself. Interesting. Interesting symbolism. Anyways, so they've got probable cause. They were able to execute a warrant and grab this information. Now Swalwell's in hot water because first and foremost, he's alleged to have sexually assaulted a couple women, right? So what are they looking for? What McCabe said? Pictures, you know, any confirming evidence that he wasn't in the places where they said he was, that kind of thing. But on top of that, once they have your devices, it kind of opens up a whole other can of worms, doesn't it? Which also makes me wonder. And this is something that the last refuge pointed out, and I immediately thought, as like, is this a cover-up? Like, are they gonna go grab his devices and then just sit on them? And you know, you stay quiet, young man, kind of thing. Are they going to actually pursue charges or something like that? I don't we won't know till we see it. But once once you're like, I know for me, once they took my phone, like you know, hours 24 hours later, oh, I got a warrant for your arrest. You know what I mean? So I would imagine that this could move pretty quickly. That that hey man, accountability is accountability, right? I mean, they got they got Al Capone on tax fraud, not murder and mafia activity is tax fraud. If you take down Eric Swalwell for sexual assault and he sits in jail, well, I guess he's off the streets, you know what I'm saying? The crazy thing about this though is Andrew McCabe, who was just talking about all of that, he's directly involved in the much larger crime that Swalwell is involved, which is the Russia Gate.

SPEAKER_05 37:06

Right?

SPEAKER_14 37:07

I mean, these guys are these guys are literally, literally co-conspirators. So I that's the only reason I played that clip because it's like, eat these words, Andrew McCabe, because at some point there's going to be a warrant served on Andrew McCabe. At some point, there's going to be a warrant served on it. Maybe they could be Sellies. Maybe they could be Sellies. Maybe that pineapple thing is, you know, just letting them null. Weird. God's Army Bratt says, why doesn't the government, why isn't the government just doing a housing loan for people who buy houses?

Swalwell Devices Seized And What It Means

SPEAKER_14 37:40

The way the government does the loans is they do give you loans. They let the bank originate it and then they buy it from the bank. That's called Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, VA lending, USDA lending. Uh, FDA even has some lending. Uh, Department of Oh, United States Department of Agriculture already said that one. Yeah, everybody's buying loans. So the government is giving loans, they just let the banks do the originating. So as long as you meet their criteria to get the loan, you can get one. But therein lies the problem. You can either go capitalism, where people qualify for the loans based off some form of merit, or you can go full-on communism and just give people housing. Why don't we give why do we give loans at all? Why don't we just say, hey, go find a bed to sleep tonight and defend it? That's your house. Why don't we just do that? Right. So that's the problem here is through the regulation, they make it hard for just normal people to get a house. You have to check all their boxes, oftentimes, including being a slave to the tax system. You know, if you don't need the benefits of having tax returns to prove to a bank that you are a good little taxpayer, debt payer, then you don't really need some things. You know, I'm not going to go too far down that road. Join us at 1776live.us to learn more about how you can insulate yourself from needing government loans. Okay. So another thing that happened yesterday was Michael Cohen, right? Who's Michael Cohen? He was Trump's fixer, kind of longtime attorney, worked with Trump on the 2016 campaign. And then, of course, Russia Gate hit, and the Stormy Daniels thing came out, and then he got pressured in order to advance the Alvin Bragg, Letitia James case in in New York, and he ended up being the star witness in that case where Trump got convicted, right? It was all centered around Michael Cohen. Well, it turns out Michael Cohen is now reconciled with the president. He's come out and said I was pressured to do all that stuff. And so we're going to play a couple excerpts from the interview that he had with that Trump had with Michael Cohen yesterday. And on one hand, we're just going to kind of chuckle and laugh at this, okay? Because this is like two New Yorkers talking to each other. And I don't know, there's some humor in that. But you should also really think about the bigger implications of this.

SPEAKER_19 39:50

I want to go back to 2016 if we can, because you and I have obviously traveled a pretty rocky road together. You remember, do you remember, sir, when I went on CNN with Brianna Keeler and she told me that you were underwater in the polls, and I responded with those famous two words, says who, which became some worldwide meme in the case.

SPEAKER_21 40:18

Yeah, me too, but I don't consider mine, you know, mine mine was at a level that nobody's ever seen before. But they weaponized you, they weaponized a lot of people. And uh I respect the fact that you recanted everything you said, and that's a big that's a big thing that you did. That's a very big thing.

SPEAKER_19 40:37

Sir, you may remember the country. You may remember that following morning you called me into the office after, and then you gave me one of those um traditional Trump slaps on the shoulder and you said to me, F them. You're stronger than them. We've got this. Now the funny thing is that CNN never apologized, they never retracted anything. And now, years later, CNN, MS Now, and the other left-leaning outlets, they're doing the exact same thing, constantly talking about you being underwater with favorability numbers.

unknown 41:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 41:10

Same same playbook, right? Same playbook they've always been playing. What do you think about that interaction there? Michael Cohen's, hey, remember, we've been to Iraqi road. It's such a suck-up moment. It's so funny. Uh back to God's Army, Brad here. She says, Why are banks allowed to discriminate against whites with loans? Is what I'm getting at. They're not. They're not allowed to discriminate with whites with loans, but they're not allowed to discriminate against religious beliefs that don't believe in interest. And unfortunately, you haven't, you and most of the population haven't proven that they don't want to transact with interest because they want to charge interest sometimes, which is why they have to pay interest. You live by the sword, you die by the sword. You get measured by the measuring stick you measure. So, no, they're not discriminating against whites, but they also can't discriminate against anybody. And they can't infringe on your sincerely held religious beliefs. And so they create workarounds, aka equity sharing loans and things like that, where you still accomplish a loan or a property transfer and you still have a payment that's equivalent to a mortgage payment. Maybe you got to get a little bit rasta, huh?

SPEAKER_03 42:11

Maybe you got to get a little bit Rasta. Yeah, maybe you got a little bit. Start your own religion.

SPEAKER_14 42:15

There's just certain things that come along with that structure that, for example, hard to foreclose on, right? So, no, they're not discriminating. We did away with that back in the day with the Civil Rights Act, but there's nothing that separates you as a normal white person, I guess, that would allow you to get one of these specialty loans until now, right? So go in and try to get one. I think that's I'd be very interested. The Islamic one's very interesting because it's like an equity share and there's no foreclosure and there has to be certainty. It's like, I'm getting one of those loans. Like, you can't be foreclosed on. You know, that's pretty stunning. All right, continuing on with this Trump Michael Cohen interview. Again, listen to this, boss.

SPEAKER_19 42:54

I want to go back to 2016 if we can, because you and I have obviously traveled a pretty rocky road together.

SPEAKER_14 43:00

Sorry, same clip again, same clip again. Some reason I had that on there. Oh, maybe I didn't even close it. All right, here we go. Here's the next clip.

SPEAKER_19 43:09

So maybe what we

Michael Cohen Turns Again And Case Fallout

SPEAKER_19 43:10

should do is then have a press conference and literally put out all of the accomplishments because what's happening, boss. You remember when I was by your side, I literally used to analyze the polls, right? And you remember how much attention that I used to pay to that methodology. I would come in, I would say to you, Oh, you know, they're claiming that you're 31% that you're underwater, but I showed you that the six a crooked, the polls are exactly well.

SPEAKER_21 43:35

The reporters, as you know, are crooked, but uh many of them. You have some great ones too, but for the most part, it's it's really dishonest. But the sample size roughly when you read the New York Times, it's so dishonest. When you read these things, and they're not doing well, look, the reason they're not doing well is because they've lost a lot of credibility. Now, if you do have great journalists, you do have great reporters also. Many people are very good. Very, very good. I can name them by I be when by naming them, I'll leave some out. But you also have a lot of people that see how good things are, see how good things are with this the economy is a renaissance. There's never been anything like it.

SPEAKER_19 44:11

Let's come back to that part. Boss. You remember when I was by your side? I literally used to analyze the b boss. You remember when I was by your side? I l accomplishments. Because what's happening? Boss, you remember when I was by your boss, boss.

SPEAKER_14 44:27

You remember when I was by your side? Boss, boss, can I get a pardon? Boss, boss, boss. Oh my gosh. That must have been one of the most exhausting relationships for Donald Trump. That had to have been. Carlene says, it's okay. Cohen was working with us all along. Undercover. Yeah, sure he was. Remember when he went under oath in the White House and had this to say?

SPEAKER_19 44:49

Never in a million years did I imagine when I accepted a job in 2007 to work for Donald Trump.

SPEAKER_14 44:57

Boss, do you remember when I was by your side? Boss?

SPEAKER_19 44:59

Um that he would one day run for the presidency to launch a campaign on a platform of hate and intolerance and actively win.

SPEAKER_14 45:10

Boss, do you remember when I was by your side? Boss, do you remember when I was by your side?

SPEAKER_19 45:15

I regret the day I said yes to Mr. Trump. I regret all the help and support I gave him along the way. I am ashamed of my own failings and publicly accepted responsibility for them by pleading guilty in the Southern District of New York. I am ashamed of my weakness and my misplaced loyalty, of the things I did for Mr. Trump in an effort to protect and promote him. I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump's illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience. I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is. He is a racist, he is a con man, and he is a cheat.

SPEAKER_14 46:10

He was under oath, bro. That was a statement. What happened here, boss? Remember when I was by your side, boss? Oh, we gotta roll out all the accomplishments, boss. Oh, I was remember the girl things we've been through a rocky road together. Yeah, apparently. I mean, honestly, it's shocking that Trump would do that interview and kind of reconcile with Cohen. But the fact that he's recanted his statement, right? Now, all along, Trump and his camp has been like, Cohen's a liar, Cohen's a liar, Cohen's a liar. Well, the problem is now that he's done what he's done by recanting, saying he was pressured by the prosecution and Letitia James to do what he did, to drum up these accusations, to say Donald Trump is a racist, right? It creates a huge problem for the case in which Donald Trump has, quote, 34 felony convictions. And we don't have to go into all the details. We know it's ridiculous, right? But it's in appeals right now, creates a huge problem. Even CNN's senior legal analyst had to explain this to CNN. This is a big deal.

SPEAKER_13 47:12

Anyone who cheered that hush money prosecution to Donald Trump two years ago has nothing left to stand on. Because now the star witness, the guy who is the reason why every prosecutor who looked at this case, including the Biden DOJ, the prior liberal democratic DA passed on charging this case, is because they didn't trust Michael Cohen beyond a reasonable doubt. Alvin Bragg rolled that dice, and now Michael Cohen has said publicly that he's quote, felt, felt important, felt pressured and coerced by prosecutors. So where do you stand on Michael Cohen now? If you believe he's a truth teller, then he felt pressured and coerced by prosecutors. That's not acceptable. If you believe he's a liar, then your case is built on a liar. So that case is going through its appeal process incredibly slowly. I think there are major legal infirmities with it, but now the factual predicate has collapsed as well.

SPEAKER_14 48:04

So not only is it a violation of due process and have all kinds of legal issues, but it's based on a lying liar liar. And if you believe him, well, then believe that he was pressured and coerced. If you think he's a liar, then you built your whole case around a liar. That case is done. Right? The process of law is going to ultimately undo that conviction, and Trump will be able to go to the shooting range. That's what's going to happen there. Because right now, our president is technically a felon. Which we hardly ever mention. The Democrats are, you know, always want to roll that one out. Although they have slowed down talking about that because I think they know that case is kind of falling apart, right? Another big news in here, and this might be this might be a pretty good deal for Thundering Oak and Centini. If let me know if this is a big deal for you for you guys. All right. So Donald Trump said, Today I concluded a deal to substantially lower the price of ground beef for working American families. As everyone

Cheap Ground Beef Plan And Rancher Tradeoffs

SPEAKER_14 49:00

knows, under President Biden, beef prices soared at their fastest rate in the and the American beef herb fell to its smallest size in modern history. As we work to rebuild this herd and help our ranchers, for the next 90 days, the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported with no out of quota tariff. How much is 300,000 metric tons of beef, Ron? You're the engineer that's good at math. I don't know. That's a lot. What is a metric ton?

SPEAKER_03 49:31

Oh man. I don't know if a metric ton is 2,000 pounds or if it's uh 2,200. I can't remember.

SPEAKER_14 49:38

So it's a lot.

SPEAKER_03 49:40

It's a lot.

SPEAKER_14 49:40

That's a lot of beef.

SPEAKER_03 49:41

Yeah, it's what's for dinner. It's like 10,000 hamburgers. How many? Each. So 10,000 times 300,000, whatever that number is. That's a lot of barbecue. That's a lot of barbers. That's a lot of barbecue.

SPEAKER_14 49:54

So yeah, Carlita says back to 25 cent cheese. I doubt it. Yeah, I doubt it. Uh, but this could be. I'm I'm gonna watch. I'm gonna pay attention for prices at Walmart. He says, he goes on to say, we have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25% below current market prices. This deal will reduce beef prices for Americans while giving space for a great American beef herd to grow again. Thank you for your attention to this manner. So I think what's there's a constant demand for beef, right? Like I have a steak at least once, twice, three times. That's at least a buck a pound savings. Is it? Yeah, that's pretty good. So what's crazy about this is obviously with the herd low, they've got to sell beef, and you start to really value your cattle because you need them to reproduce, right? This is like a this is a whole you know husbandry thing going on here. And so when you're constantly selling off your cattle and say you have some screw worm loss or you have some hook put and mouth, or I don't know, whatever other things that happen, this could be really a big deal. And then of course, there's every day there's ranchers and farmers getting out of the business because it's a hard life. So that's pretty interesting. Tomaste says, I'm sure if flooding the market with foreign beef is a great thing, might be cheap hamburgers in the short term, but long term it seems like in a negative impact on ranchers. I think it, you know, in a normal scenario, it would be he puts a 90-day time frame on this. Yeah, so that's basically like now till Thanksgiving. It's a band-aid, it's a band-aid. Um, it's a band-aid for sure, but they need cattle right now need to be breeding, not being slaughtered, right? Because we need to have calves in the spring. So there's kind of you know, what's the herd? You know, like if you run out of food, you gotta go buy some food. So that might be kind of what's going on here. And uh it's probably mostly gonna be coming out of Argentina, they're the other massive cattle producing nation, Argentina and Brazil, but I doubt we're doing anything fun with Brazil. But I'm sure Argentina, you know, Millet probably owes Trump a favor. You know what I'm saying? Like, remember that whole currency swap a couple months ago? Yeah, send the longhorns. So yeah, it seems like I don't know. I I mean, here's what I do know. For a lot of our listeners, you know, the price of beef, this is this is the struggle of the middle class. We can absorb a dollar more at the gas pump. We can absorb a little bit more at the grocery store. But for many, many Americans, remember, most Americans don't even have $500 in savings. These little price increases here and there can devastate your budget. You know, when you're running at a flat line and you're just kind of treading water, these price increases are devastating.

SPEAKER_03 52:35

And if you're in an if you live in an unfortunate community that has, you know, not that many options for employment, you might be in a very fixed income for the whole community. Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 52:47

Yes, exactly. So this this this could be this could be a quick band-aid to kind of get us through the fall and get you know, get an extra 100,000 cattle floating around the country in the spring. I don't know. We'll see. My here's the thing though. What he's done here is he's basically gone back to a no-tariff situation, which is what we had before, right? But that is what was killing the American farmers. So Trump putting on the tariffs, it got beef prices up. Shantini at one point, she talked about the price of beef, and it was astronomical. She was like, we are getting so much per cow. The problem is, and I think they Shantini, if you're out there listening still, confirm this, but your herd is down. Why is your herd down? Right? Is it because the price was so high, you're forced to sell the beef, your expenses are going up, so you got to sell that extra cattle, which means there's one less breeder in the mix. You know what I'm saying? Like all of it, it's all these little things that factor. At the end of the day, you have the smallest beef herd in modern history, and you have extremely high prices. So not only are the cattle ranchers herding because they can't replenish their feet their stock at the current demand levels, which also drives pricing up. So, on one hand, maybe it's good and they make a little money, but at the other hand, it's like you're killing your golden goose. And then and then normal Americans who have nothing to do with actually producing the food are experiencing extremely high pricing. So it's a short band-aid. I guess we'll see. This is this is another one of those, like, we'll see how it plays out. You know, maybe it's a good thing to debase the currency and pay off the national

Rumor Letters And Media Noise Tactics

SPEAKER_14 54:20

debt if you're in hard assets. So, yeah, I guess we'll find out about that one. Okay. Uh, leading report posted this. This is actually it was actually the Daily Beast that posted this letter, but have you heard about this whole Natalie Hart deal, Trump's assistant that's with him? So he's got an assistant. She's the girl that did the right to try and got cured of her debilitating terminal disease. She spoke at the RNC. Well, she ended up being Trump's assistant.

SPEAKER_03 54:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_14 54:48

And she was alleged by John Alsoff to be sleeping with Trump, which has been roundly not just debunked, but repudiated. But now what's happening is there's just this constant drip. This is one of those, let's just talk about something other than the Democrats' failures. That's all this is. It is this is one of those I don't even care things. So we've also seen this playbook before. Remember when the Epstein files were kind of getting ready to come out, and all of a sudden we got this letter from Trump to Epstein with this picture on it. And it's like Trump doesn't draw. You know, everybody who's ever known Trump's Trump's never drawn a stick figure, let alone some curvy woman with boobies. You know what I mean? Like it doesn't make sense. But oh, this came from Trump and it's that law of first impression. If you believe it, it's plausible. Law of first impression, it is a lot easier to fool a man than to convince him he has been fooled. To me, this looks just like that. It's a nonsense noise story. We haven't even covered it because it's stupid. But the fact that they're continuing to run with this makes me go, what are they getting at? It's just just another so Discord story. Do they want this thing to get legs? Where are they going? Right? These are the first steps up a staircase to some big scandal, just like Russia Gate started. Well, we think maybe there's a little bit of Russia interference, and then it grows and grows and grows and grows, right? Well, it only grows because they keep talking about it. Yeah, is this one of those Christine Blasey Ford moments, you know, where we just get something that grows and grows? Everybody's denying it. There's no real evidence, but then they the demand to provide evidence shows up. So here it is. It's a letter, right? Dear Mr. President, allegedly she wrote this to him. I thought I was the only one left behind last night and had no idea Mar Lago's car was pulled over and sent back to the airport. Since I was alone in the van outside customs without my passport, I panicked. I should have called Secret Service instead of you. I am so sorry. I was an embarrassment walking around the course in Scotland. The first day I was told there were no carts and people walked, which is why I walked. The second day I was specifically asked, I forgot who his name was. But one of the main people who worked there, if I could continue walking and tell the other girls and who could head out there and do the same to spare the course any uh the course any more carts, is if there's anything else I have done to cause you trouble, please forgive me. I know some people have said I haven't been texting them back, and there have even been some international self-sues. John was having technical issues on the plane too, so I asked me, so asked me to help him out. I want things to always be right between us. I also know I've been distracted all week, forgetting to eat throughout the days and even forgetting to sleep, and only catching a couple hours at a time. I haven't been myself, dwelling in the past, the pain of losing my dad, and starting is starting to letting the remarks of people who haven't bothered me before get to me, not because I care what other things, but because I see myself being low in your eyes and good opinion. That is the fear you see, because I never want to bring you anything but joy. I'm sorry, I lost my focus. You are all that matters to me. I don't ever want to let you down. Thank you for being my guardian and protector in this life. That is what I wanted to use this card for when you saw me at the cash register and once again did what you didn't have to do and gifted me with the mementos of this trip of a lifetime, a coming of age. I will return a better person. I have to sign off now as the cars are leaving. See you soon with all my heart, Natalie.

SPEAKER_03 58:13

Okay, hold on. Thanks. Now do that again in a really worse AI bot voice. I mean, this is the worst.

SPEAKER_14 58:23

You're fired. If you write a letter with these run-on rambling sentences, you're fired. Like that's the worst ever. Is it real? No. I have my doubts. There's no way. You're going to hear on the news there's a letter. The letter's out there, it's circulating. CNN's not gonna read it. They might read a sentence. I have to, uh, they'll they'll read the sentence, a coming of age, or I see myself being lowered in your eyes. They're not gonna read this. Is a ridiculous letter for an adult to write. I mean, this is like a 13-year-old teenage, and maybe that's what they're trying to make her look like. It's got a 13-year-old hanging around that's sitting on his lap, calling him daddy, daddy, daddy. Yeah, this is ridiculous, right? Absolutely ridiculous. Whatever this girl does in the administration is his assistant hauling his cell phones around or whatever. If this is a real letter and he wrote it, she wrote it to him, she's fired. Like, shut up, you know. I know that some people have said I haven't been texting them back, and there have been some international cell issues. Oh my god. I forgetting to eat throughout the days and even forgetting to sleep and only catching a couple hours at a time. Guys, it's noise.

Voter Mills ActBlue Fifth And ID Loopholes

SPEAKER_14 59:40

Dismiss it. I don't want to cover this story. I read that letter and I'm like, this is the most ridiculous thing ever. It's updated. I mean, if she comes out and says, Yeah, I wrote that letter, and what how much alcohol did you have to drink that night? I mean, that that is the worst drunk text, please take me back thing I've ever seen.

SPEAKER_03 59:56

The cars are leaving. I have to sign off now. If they ever do cover it, they're gonna have to figure out how to get redaction black all over it. Oh my gosh, exactly.

SPEAKER_14 1:00:06

Let's redact all the stuff that makes this seem like a completely ridiculous letter. We really should have had it read by AI. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. Okay. Obviously, the election stuff is a daily thing, right? An election stuff is a daily thing. And a couple weeks ago, we had the report out of Michigan where the FBI and the state troopers caught a voter mill, right? Where they were churning out ballots, fake registrations, and whatnot. Well, this is becoming ever more important, right? It's another one of these, it's not just anecdotal, it's hard evidence that the Democrat Party is cheating at an industrial level. The other thing that happened as well was Act Blue again came in for a uh hearing in Washington. It was a closed-door hearing this time, and they pleaded the fifth. Did you take money from international people? Plead the fifth. Okay. Well, that's, you know, yeah, you have the right not to uh testify against your own baseness and wickedness, but it's pretty much an admission that you took foreign money. Because the correct answer is no.

unknown 1:01:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_14 1:01:06

So John Solomon here is talking on the Epic Times. He's reviewing this Michigan voter mill.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:12

The third thing that was suppressed from the American public was the discovery of a voter mill in Michigan, a domestic run by a Democrat-funded group that was uh knowingly and willfully, according to its own workers, creating fake voter registration uh profiles that people then could request ballots. People would talk about like, if I couldn't find a real voter, I just made it up. I signed it myself. I made up names. I used my friends. Uh the FBI had dead-red evidence of a clear uh criminal effort to create fake voter registrations in America. And despite repeated efforts over four years, they could not get the Biden Justice Department to investigate, excuse me, to indict what uh the investigation found as criminal activity. It was covered up, dual system of justice.

SPEAKER_14 1:02:01

The only states that Kamala Harris won, the only states she won, are the states that do not require any form of ID to get your ballot. Those are the only states she won, right? Minnesota, we just saw the James O'Keefe undercover video where he went there and was able to vouch for people, register day of. Okay. Michigan, we've seen this going on, as well as similar other stories like that. And what about Alaska? Right? So James O'Keefe took a little flight, I'm assuming, up to Alaska. I doubt he drove. He took a little flight up to Alaska and he decided to walk into one of these polling centers, and he did something that uh it's pretty smart. Pretty smart. He asked for Lisa Mikowski's brother's ballot. And Brian Mikowski.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:54

If you want, we can look at the first or something.

SPEAKER_11 1:02:56

Yeah, I just want to see. No, sorry. No, I left the idea at home. So all can I give you a name?

SPEAKER_10 1:03:02

Yeah, we'll trade.

SPEAKER_11 1:03:04

Okay, sorry about that. The last name is M-U-R-K-O-W-S-K-I.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:09

And what is your first name?

SPEAKER_11 1:03:10

The name is Brian.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:11

Do you know how to spell Brian?

SPEAKER_11 1:03:13

B-R-I-A-N. Is the name on the list? You are. Okay, perfect. So this is the right place.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:22

Yes. State ID, military ID.

SPEAKER_11 1:03:26

I think I I think I left that at home.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:28

Oh can I I should be like TSA, a real ID, please.

SPEAKER_11 1:03:35

Would it be possible to vote without it?

SPEAKER_10 1:03:37

Absolutely possible. Oh good. You have a box shop? Oh, I think I left I think I left that at home.

SPEAKER_11 1:03:43

Blood. D and A. I got blood.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:47

You got blood? You want to leave your blood?

SPEAKER_11 1:03:49

Can I can you check to see if we're in the right place? Do that for you. Oh, hello.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:53

But you don't have um so the I think I left it at home.

SPEAKER_11 1:03:58

Would it still be possible to vote today?

SPEAKER_10 1:04:00

Yeah. You can vote if you'd like to. Do you want to do a question ballot?

SPEAKER_11 1:04:04

I mean, all I gotta do is do the question ballot, then I can vote. Yes, sir. Oh, that's just so convenient. It's shocking that the people inside this polling location here in Alaska did not question me at all, considering the last name Rurkowski is very, very unusual last name, and that's their current senator. But I went in there and kept saying I didn't have my ID. The woman said, You can vote today. All you gotta do is fill this document out. And so we just fill out the question ballot and then Brian Rurkowski can vote today.

SPEAKER_14 1:04:33

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And that's Alaska. Right? Now they're asking for an ID. It would be a lot easier if you could provide an ID. But when pressed, can you vote? Oh, absolutely. Fill out of you know, fill out a sample of question ballot or whatever. We'll we'll count it, you know, especially if it gets us the result we want for sure. This is the problem. This is the problem. Now, Lisa Murkowski's office put out a statement yesterday essentially calling for James O'Keefe to be prosecuted for voter impersonation or whatever. I don't think it's gonna go anywhere. I don't think it's gonna go anywhere. And if it does, shame on our country again. Because again, when these people expose your crimes, until you take care of your crimes, don't you dare come after a whistleblower. Right? Two wrongs don't make a right. When you commit a crime and someone whistleblows or exposes it, they're not the ones in the wrong. Right? That's the thing that just it should bother anybody and everybody. That's just retarded, right? Voter ID, like just an ID. They should not have an option where you don't have to present some third party evidence that you have verified who you are. And then you need to go back and go, okay, no driver's license for people who haven't verified who you are. There are literally names on voter rules that match driver's license that say, no, no. Name given. We've had that one accident that happened. I think it was in Indiana, where the driver's license after a fatal accident, you know, his CDL license said, no name given. This is such a big problem. It's got to be dealt with. Otherwise, what's going to happen is slowly but surely, our entire country, as we are incapable of flushing out bad politicians who introduce bad policy because they have an untenable ideology and they have a tolerance for a bifurcated society where the lowest rung of society lives in squalor, death, crime, and corruption. Meanwhile, the elite sit behind their palisade walls, right? If we don't get control of our election system so that we can flush these people out, what you see in certain districts around the country that have been captured for a long time is going to spread like a cancer. 10 or 15 or 20 years ago, Seattle was a beautiful city. Now it's hard to walk through. The last two times my son has been to Seattle, he's 17, right? The last two times he's gone to Seattle, he saw a woman completely on drugs walking down the street totally naked and nobody did a thing about it. The second time he went to Pikes Market, a major tourist spot, and stood next to a man who pulled a gun on another man. Okay, and freaked him out. 15, 20 years ago, when my family would come into town, we'd go to Pikes Place Markets to show them the tourist spot. Now, when my family comes into town, we head west and go check out the Olympic Mountain. We never go back the other direction. Okay. If we can't get control of this country, what you're gonna find is districts like Hakeem Jeffries will metastasize and grow. Every inner city where you have these concentrations of power will start to look like this, and it will even come for your little communities.

Crime Stories And Why Elections Matter

SPEAKER_14 1:07:55

Glenn Morgan at the Kit Sap Kids App Rifle and Revolver Club's 100-year uh anniversary talked about that. He just recently went to Bozeman, Montana to drop his kid off for college. And where he was at, the parking lot he was at had 30 homeless people in it. Couldn't access the building without walking through this homeless encampment. That's Bozeman, Montana. It's coming, guys. It's coming.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:17

Over 2,000 major felonies in eight months, murders, rapes, robbery, assault. Welcome to East New York, the district represented by leader Hakeem Jeffries. What's going on in this neighborhood?

SPEAKER_17 1:08:32

Crime is getting out of hand.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:35

Stabbings and shootings every other night. Robin, they killing people.

SPEAKER_25 1:08:40

People dying, little kids got ran over.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:43

You got people that fight over parking. People pull out guns for parking. You have road rage. What is the most dangerous thing to have happened in this neighborhood? I would have to say murder, right?

SPEAKER_25 1:08:51

You can get killed any day, any time of the day. You could walk and they slit your throat just for walking around with a phone.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:57

I even lost my husband. Somebody killed him.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:59

Is East New York a safe place? Not safe. I'm gonna be real, Lady. I'm scared.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:04

It's dangerous. Who? I mean, after a certain time, I don't even come outside. You have to have a good bodybuilt mindset to live here.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:12

There's been 700 assaults in eight months. It's higher. And it's gonna get higher. This is just one area of Penn Track where at night the traffic here is more insane than Midtown Manhattan, and prostitution is running wild. On this block, you can't walk three steps without seeing another used condom. Do you see a lot of prostitution? Prostitution is the biggest thing here.

SPEAKER_16 1:09:43

They'll be out there in the snow with stockings on in a short jacket, bra, and underwear, just fully exposed, selling it.

SPEAKER_20 1:09:52

Early morning, you'll see prostitutes. It's regular.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:00

This is Hakeem Jefferies District. Is he doing a good job? I don't even know who that is, bro.

SPEAKER_17 1:10:07

Not really. No. Uh sorry. Hakeem is doing an excellent job. Yes. What is he doing that's so great? What is the greatest thing that he has done? What is the greatest thing? Well, I'm not gonna single him out.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:24

Hakeem has been your congressman for over 15 years. Has he cleaned up the hood? I don't see a difference. The cleaning up that's being done, I don't necessarily feel it's for the people. But, but, but, but, but, but he's a big shot in DC, a leader of the Democrats in the House. You gotta be proud. No, I don't. What are you doing out here? Supposed to be in New York. No, I don't feel proud about that.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:48

I am, and he sends me a birthday card every year. Uh time. That's he's getting a little frisky.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:55

He's sending you a Valentine's Day card. Now he's getting pushed around by commies in the house. Do you like communism? Listen, I don't like none of that. I don't like communism either. Why don't you like communism? It's a cool thing now. It's not that cool.

SPEAKER_25 1:11:09

Communism. Like, no. Aren't we Democrats? Speak for yourself. So what are you?

SPEAKER_07 1:11:15

I'm in danger. People say Hakim's in the streets. Have you seen him? I haven't seen him. No, I haven't. Have I seen him here? No. No, I haven't. He comes out here, he speaks with us. When was the last time you spoke to Hakeem? I haven't spoken to Hakeem. Oh, I'm listening. Why don't you just keep your mouth shut? If you saw Hakeem on the streets, what would you tell him? Come out here. Come holler at me. Do better.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:34

Happy Valentine's Day.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:36

You never thought that hip hop would take it this far. What do you want to tell Jesse Waters you're on his show?

SPEAKER_25 1:11:45

Hey, what's up? Never met you. I'm about to go upstairs and watch you on TV right now. YouTube. You know who I am? Oh.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:52

Here's Johnny. Oh, here, Johnny.

SPEAKER_14 1:11:59

Yes, Johnny. Here, Johnny goes and downsome. Oh man. That's what's common, guys. Right? Do you think the elections are fair over there? You know, one of the challenges, because politics is about power, right? You need votes. So if you enforce the law on everybody in your district, who's left the vote for you? Right? If you're if you're flirting outside the law, if you're one of those prostitutes or the pimps or the people, you know, the Johns, you're probably gonna vote for Hakeem Jeffries because clearly has no intention of stopping what's happening, right? This is a massive problem. Auburn or Auburn Way in Seattle, you see the same kind of conditions. You see it in huge parts of Seattle. You go to any major inner city, drove to Chicago a month or two ago. Holy rough. You know, they should reroute the interstate. You know, show me the nice side of town. Don't take me on the south side of town. It's kind of rough. So this is a huge problem happening everywhere. And again, it's it's the

Kitsap PUD Takeover Vote And Energy Policy

SPEAKER_14 1:13:00

compounding of all these little decisions over time. We've got a story from KMJC News. This is a local story about something that's about to happen here in Kitsap County. And I think there's a lot of people that don't quite know what's going on here. So go ahead and run. Let's do a split screen. Let me get it to where I can read it and you can see me. There you go. Perfect. Okay. So this is coming, this is Kit KMJC News. Kitsap County Voters will decide this November whether to give the Kittsap Public Utility District the permanent legal authority to take over electric service from Puget Sound Energy. The measure is being sold as simply approving a feasibility study. Let's just check it out, see if it's worth doing. However, supporters stress that a yes vote does not force a takeover. In reality, there is no public vote required if KPUD controlled study later recommends moving forward. Once that authority is granted, the elected board, not voters, decides whether to spend what will almost certainly be hundreds of millions of dollars. Right. So what's going on is there's going to be an initiative on the ballot that's going to allow our Kitzap public utility district to essentially do a feasibility on if they should take over for Puget Sound Energy. The problem is, no matter what the price, the people will no longer have a vote once that study starts. If the board decides they want to spend a gajillion dollars on updating and give money to all their friends, we the people can't stop it. This has a classic camel's nose under the tent structure by framing the question around a study rather than an actual purchase. The measure obtains broad authority while downplaying the long-term consequences. KPUD would design would design the study, select the consultant, and set the assumptions. Ratepayers should expect an analysis that reflects the interests of the agency, seeking to expand rather than a fully independent review. Technically, KPUD does not even need voter approval to conduct a study. Officials have already performed a limited high-level review and have indicated they could fund a full study on their own. So they don't need us to do it to fund the study. So this is a camel in the uh camel's nose in the tent scenario. The only reason they're putting it on the ballot is because by the people approving the study, they're approving the takeover. They could already do the study, they've already done the study. It's it this is a classic, total misdirect on what's really happening. Voters are going to say, yeah, let's research it and then we'll decide when really this vote to research it is going to be a vote to decide. And we lose total control over the money. There's a gentleman down on Vashon Island named Armin. And he actually, back when the Kingdome was in Seattle, he saw a bunch of nonsense there with these feasibility studies and these impact studies saying it was going to be good for the county and good for the city. And he did a bunch of freedom of information stuff and found out that they were cooking the studies, getting the opposite results, saying they didn't need state funding or city funding. They could do it on their own. It would be the only way to make it economically viable. But instead, they turned around and they manipulated the studies, they released false reporting, they misled voters, they ended up putting the tax the bill on the taxpayers. And after it was all said and done, and our new stadium was built, finally he got all the documents proving it was a complete and total fraud. And they walked us down the garden path, and now you're on the hook for the loan. Okay. Same things looks like it's happening here. The debate grew out of frustration over rising PSC bills since 2020. Rates have climbed sharply, and some residents believe a government-run utility would keep costs lower. Does that ever work? KPUD local news, media, and supporters point to Jefferson County PUD. I've worked with both PSE, KPUD, and PUD up in Jefferson County. So have you. Right? As proof, as proof, in 2020, Jefferson County voters narrowly approved a similar measure, and the PUD later bought PSEs, this Puget Sound Energies system and began serving customers in 2013. Jefferson rates have also risen substantially since 2020, though somewhat less than PSEs in certain comparisons. So rates are just going up, and so making it a public utility locally isn't going to stop rate increases. The comparison has limits, and the supporters have left out key points about the Jefferson about the Jefferson County takeover. What Kitsap residents may want to consider for one is Jefferson's system was a far smaller system than Kitsap's. What worked on a limited scale does not automatically translate to a county with more than 130,000 PSE customers. Opponents, including PSE, correctly call the ballot measure a blank check. A yes vote grants KPUD broad authority without a price tag, without a firm rate projection, and without clear plan for power supply or grid operations. A full feasibility study alone is estimated at 300,000 to 600,000. Acquiring or condemning the system would also run into the hundreds of millions. The costs ultimately fall on the ratepayers. KPD currently focuses on water, sewer, and broadband. It has never operated a large electric utility. Transitioning a complex system would take years and carries real risks of higher costs, service disruptions, and new debt. State clean energy requirements would still apply, which is causing the rate increases. So the underlying pressure driving today's rates increase would not disappear. Right? The rate increase isn't because PSE is behind it. It's because that bill's behind it and every other market condition. Opponents also note that Island County and Skaggot counter voters rejected silver proposers in 2008. Skaggot is especially relevant because of its larger size and higher costs. Challenges KITSAP would also face. There are additional lessons from Jefferson County that received little attention. The original feasibility study estimated acquisition cost for PSE's facilities at $34.9 million to $69.8 million, with a most likely figure of $47 to $47 million. Total initial financing needs were projected at roughly $66.1 million. The study also projected savings of about $22 to 2020, $22 to $22.5 million, and with some references up to $31 million for ratepayers over the first 10 years. The actual price was $103 million. The costs were covered by a $115 million loan from the USDA with favorable rates, which are no longer available. Final costs to ratepayers have been cited around $110.7 million. The projected savings were also smaller than promise. Like many government proposals, the early numbers prove optimistic. Had true costs been presented clearly, Jefferson voters might have decided differently, and there should be a strong suspicion regarding projected costs and savings since most government costs and benefits projections tend to be unrealistically optimistic. Check. Another serious concern is regulatory oversight. PSC must justify rate increases before independent Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission. A public utility district sets its own rates through its elected board. While voters can replace commissioners, there is no independent regulator that must approve rate hikes the way the UTC currently does. If residents are concerned about rising rates, they should examine the actual drivers. PSC has identified several factors. Infrastructure investment is one. The utility says it needs to spend more than $3.2 billion to maintain the safety system, the system safety, reliability, and capacity as population and electricity demand grow. Power consumption is rising with electric vehicles and broad electrification. The pressure exists regardless of who owns the wires. KPUD would face the same demands and would still need to finance upgrades and the power supply. The larger driver is government policy. Washington's Clean Energy Transformation Act, CETA, the c and the Climate Commitment Act, the CCA, have forced the early retirement of reliable dispatchable generation, particularly coal, and required rapid replacement with wind, solar, and battery storage. PSC has stated that power supply costs have more than tripled since CETA passed in 2019, and that CETA compliance alone adds hundreds of millions of dollars between 2022 and 2025. These mandates replace dense, always reliable generation with intermittent resources that have lower capacity factors would require overbuild, transmission, and battery firming, and have not delivered the cost and reliability results originally promised. As these green energy technologies become integrated into the energy grind, we find more and more problems associated with them, including lower realized output than model, rising integration costs, or the need for backup when hydro is also constrained by drought. Nuclear power offers carbon-free firm capacity at high energy density. Modern coal plants with emission controls provide reliable baseload power at lower system costs than intermittent resources when the full cost of firming and backup is counted, forcing the retirement of these resources in favor of systems that have proven to be dramatically less effective and has raised costs and reduced reliability margins across the region. Long-term drought conditions have further reduced hydropower output, compounding the problem created by the policy. We here at KMJC point to one of the core principles of the remodel program. Government is most ineffective, inefficient, and most expensive way of getting anything done. History repeatedly confirms that statement. When government agencies expand into complex commercial operation, the results are predictable. Optimistic projections, higher than advertised cost, and reduced accountability. Citizens concerned about the rates should address the policies actually driving them rather than expand government into a business it has never run. Local control sounds appealing until it becomes permanent authority with no second public vote, no independent rate regulator, and no firm cost ceiling. Energy costs are a major part of the cost of living in Washington. A clear-eyed review shows the state mandates and the forced replacement of a reliable generation are central to the problem. Handing up open-ended acquisition power to an agency that has never operated a large electric system is not fiscal conservatism. It is a gamble rate players should reject. So here's the thing of the thing that there's a principle problem here. Okay, and this goes back to the election stuff. I would love, I would love to dispute the rate hikes and the cost of energy with a locally elected commission. And I would love every two years to clean house with that commission if rates go up or if costs are misallocated or there's no accountability. I would love that. Right. Absolutely. I want to have that stuff determined locally. The problem is we can't trust our system to hold them accountable. And it goes the same for PSE. Right? That system's kind of designed to be less accountable. PSC is actually a Canadian company. And in certain ways, PSC is almost better because it does respond to, you know, the bigger, you know, control, I guess. But these local, these local things, you can't trust what's going on.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:29

Right?

SPEAKER_14 1:24:29

Fang Fang Bang Bang started out sleeping with Eric Swalwell when he was a city council member.

SPEAKER_18 1:24:39

And they could never get rid of him.

SPEAKER_14 1:24:41

Cycle after cycle after cycle, they could never get rid of Eric Swalwell. This is what makes this so concerning, right? It makes it super concerning. I would love to say, yeah, let's take it over locally. The problem is, is I don't want to change anything.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:56

Right?

SPEAKER_14 1:24:56

I don't want to change anything because I'm afraid we could lose control of this thing. You know, right now, at least we have what we have. And there's no indicator that by going with KPUD that you're not going to go the way of Jefferson County and literally spend double what they tell us they're going to spend. And we will carry that burden as ratepayers and taxpayers. So, do you have any thoughts on this?

SPEAKER_03 1:25:18

Um I really want to reserve. I know too many parties here. I can't, I can't talk about this one.

SPEAKER_14 1:25:28

I got no opinion. Yeah. I've worked with all of them. I've worked with PUD up in Jefferson County. They're good people. Like they do the job. In fact, in a certain way, they actually get in the dirt and actually do the work, right? And in it where the PUD is, I can't lay conduit in the ground. PSC's like, you put the conduit in the ground. Like, you know, if I did this in Jefferson County, they'd write me a ticket. If I do it here, you won't even show up to do your work unless I do the thing that in a different county would get me a ticket. How do I know this? Because I did it in the county and I got the ticket. So, and I'm like, you know, just because I moved from this side of dirt to this side of dirt, all of a sudden these rules change dramatically. Like, I just want to throw an empty pipe in the ground so you can put a copper wire in it. You know, like why do we have to overcomplicate this? So I get a little bit disturbed by those kind of little nuances. But ultimately, you know, this is one of those things where it's like, hey, we we as Kidsap County voters, if this was truly just commissioning a feasibility study so that in a year we would have actual research and some, you know, pros and cons, and then we could vote for it, that'd be great. But to vote for the feasibility study is to authorize them to move forward, take over PSC's wires, and tax you or rate you to death to pay for an infrastructure upgrade. And Jefferson County is probably what one-fourth the size of Kitsap County.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:50

I don't know what their population is, but it's smaller.

SPEAKER_14 1:26:53

It's probably around there. So times these numbers by seven. Yeah. That's what it's going to take. All right, guys. That's pretty much it for us today. I do want to, oh man, I've got this Candace Owen clip I really want to play. But it's just kind of like, ha ha ha. It is a little bit. And one of the things that I one of the things that I absolutely reserve to myself is I have the right to make an independent judgment on any and everything, right? And I don't have to be consistent. I'm not going to hold myself to the standard of being consistent. I could say over here, I don't want consolidation of power. And then I could say, we need to consolidate this project. Like I do that all the time, right? I try to approach everything rationally. But this is just one of those, hey, look at the back and forth here and look at kind of, you know, for someone that holds them out to be a certain thing and say a certain thing. When you really boil down to it, the the caption here is every 90 seconds, everyone should watch. This is what inverted morality looks like. So let's go ahead and play it. And this is, you know, what we want to avoid.

SPEAKER_23 1:28:00

Been on a wild pursuit of fame and fortune your entire life. You started doing pageants, I think we showed when you were like 12. Okay. Sixth grade, maybe and you have not stopped wanting to be in the spotlight. I have never seen such glee and such happiness. 150,000 of you guys were watching, and uh the system just sort of crashed. And uh it makes me it just really makes me happy. Finally, Erica, finally, for you. Uh after decades of trying, you had made it into the spotlight and everybody loved you. May I have your attention, please, because today is obviously a day of celebration. Yes, in case you missed it, we officially have become the number one podcast in the world. Brand merchandising shirts got on that Zoom call. The sales have been crazy. 50,000 shirts sold. And it actually, we are on track for this to be the biggest day in our merch sale history on the website because maybe Charlie had an actual friend. That's what's annoying. Me, I'm the renegade. I'm the one thing.

SPEAKER_28 1:29:18

I'm just scared and like I'm looking online. People are saying like they're just saying it like they want me to die. I'm just like, I'm just so overwhelmed right now because my president is so overwhelmed. Dab, dab, dab, no tears.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:31

It's a cautionary tale, Taylor. Don't let it go.

SPEAKER_14 1:29:35

Start out the show. It is really interesting. Right. There's this there's this thing called projection. And that's what you're seeing there. Everything she says she hates about Erica Kirk, she's looking in the mirror. She can only, you know, it takes one to know one, right? She was an early childhood star. She sought fame in multiple different ways and finally found her niche. And Charlie Kirk absolutely helped her become a thing, right? And Kanye helped her become a thing. And it's just That's it, man. Today's edition of Don't Become the Thing You Hate. Don't become the thing you hate. Look right there. It's projection. You're you see in someone else you yourself and you hate it. And that's it. That's all there is to it. Like stories. Be like Jesus, project love. Yeah, be like Jesus, project love. Exactly. Exactly. All right, guys. Thank you so much for joining us today. We will talk to you again on Monday. Bye.

SPEAKER_24 1:30:55

What do you want to do? I'm 37. What? I'm 37. I'm not old. Well, I can't just call you ma'am. You could say Dennis. I didn't know you were called Dennis. Well, you didn't bother to find out, did you? I did say something about the old woman, but from behind, you look what I object to is they automatically treat me like an inferior. Well, I am king. Oh, king, eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there's ever going to be any progress. Oh! How'd you do? How'd you do, good lady? I'm Arthur, King of the Britons. Whose castle is that? King of who? The Britons. Who are the Britons? Well, we all are. We are all Britons. And I am your king. No, we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working class is. How dare you go? Bringing class into it again. That's what it's all about. If only people would. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle? No one lives there. Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. What? I told you. We're in a narco-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. Yes. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting. Yes, I see. By a civil majority in the case of purely internal affairs. Be quacked, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of quat. I order you to be quacked. Or who do you think he is? I'm your king. I didn't vote for you. You don't vote for kings? Why do you become king then? The lady of the lake. Her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water. Signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I'm your king. Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Be equal. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart through a sword is. Shut up! I mean, if I went round saying I was an emperor, just because some Moisson bitch had lobbed a scimitar at me, they put me away! Shut up, will you? Shut up! Now we see the violence inherent in the system. Shut up! Now we see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help! I'm being repressed! Bloody peasant! Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? I'm on about.

SPEAKER_18 1:33:38

Did you see it repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?
