We Cannot Fix A Broken System Without Personal Responsibility

Feeling like the system is designed to squeeze regular people isn’t paranoia when you can point to the incentives. We start with a raw, local example: an ICE raid at a Washington construction site and what it says about wages, job competition, and why “it helps the economy” sounds different depending on whether you write policy or swing a hammer.

From there, we zoom out to the big picture: globalism, offshoring, and how trade policy hollowed out manufacturing while inflating assets. We talk through the generational math behind housing affordability, why so many younger families feel locked out, and how expectations got reset by decades of cheap credit. We also wrestle with a hard tension: the system can be broken and you still have to take responsibility for your own next step, because no safety net works well when fraud and apathy are baked in.

The second half shifts into trust and verification: Washington State’s mail-in voting model, USPS barcode rules, postmarks, drop boxes, voter roll scrubs, and the growing national spotlight on election administration. That leads naturally into surveillance and security, from leaked driver’s license scans and Real ID concerns to “control grid” tech like cameras and satellite tracking. We close with money and sovereignty: Bitcoin’s rise, the idea of a US strategic Bitcoin reserve, self-custody, and why regulation like the Clarity Act has people arguing about freedom versus tracking.

Morning Banter And Simultaneous Sip

SPEAKER_03 0:28

We're getting screwed, man. Every time we turn around, we're getting screwed. The revolution's gonna be casting for sure. It's a little gun. It's a little gun take the everything. Peasants, ma'am. We're just peasants. Every one of us. You watch those old movies? You see the peasants in the background with the kings and kings walking around? We're those people. We're those people. Good morning, peasants. Welcome to another episode of The Peasants Perspective. We've got Ferrazier in the house. Good morning, good morning. We've got Ron, you. Every time I look over there, I see and Peasants Perspective says, Oh, good morning, everybody. I hope you guys are having a great day. It is a rainy day here in the Seattle area. I guess we got one of these atmospheric rivers coming through. Did you ever hear that phrase before, like a year or two ago?

SPEAKER_05 1:32

Uh yeah, but it was, you know, they used other terms before, you know, pineapple express and whatever the that's weird.

SPEAKER_03 1:41

I've heard I'd never heard it. And then one day it's like, oh, there's an atmospheric river coming through. And I'm like, that sounds like a climate change term. That's not like make you scared of a big bad rain. Just me underscore PNW. Good day, all. Glad you made it. She's getting rained on just like us. And John Attackis, it is a little Seattle weather, Boise, drizzling rain. Well, it was raining pretty hard yesterday. My wife and kids were out on a walk and we had one of those like flash rains. I was out in it putting stuff away in the yard. And they got back and they had the dog and all the kids. They're all soaking wet. I guess my dog does not like the rain. Dog was like pulling really hard and they're like, should we just let her run home? And my wife was like, I can't trust her yet. Dog wasn't very happy. Carlita says, Good morning. Glad you made it. All right, you guys, I know why you show up bright and early. You're here for the simultaneous sip. And all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice of stein, a canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip. And it starts right now.

SPEAKER_02 2:47

It's not lost on me that's we were close.

SPEAKER_03 2:51

We were almost done. We're almost out of there. You know, when we nail the simultaneous sip, it's a thing of beauty. When we don't, it's kind of a train wreck. Okay, here we go. Let's go back. Simultaneous sip starting

Immigration Jobs And An ICE Raid

SPEAKER_03 3:02

right now. It's not lost on me that the Democrats just want votes from anybody they can get it from. And they don't mind letting some illegals vote either. And that's inexcusable. Exactly. That's inexcusable. Oh, there's quite a bit of chatter about Washington State's elections. Thank goodness. It's time to start talking about them. Yeah, seriously, it's totally too, it's like, you know, 12 years too late. Speaking of, Tomaste is in the house. Good morning, good morning. Glad you made it. All right. So in Olympia, Washington, there was an ice raid on a construction site. Take a look at this. Look at these. Look at these guys. Oh, geez. Oh, you know what? I don't even feel bad at all. I don't feel bad at all. So this is just, you know, your standard little cookie cutter subdivision down in Olympia. And you've got these guys just driving away from the job site. That's ice. Going to pick them up. Anyways, they went and got these guys. The reason I play this is, you know, there's this impression that illegal immigration is a net benefit. Listen, every one of those guys took a job from somebody I know. Right? Somebody I know could have worked in that construction job and made $25 an hour or whatever it was, but then the wages went down to 18, 15. Like construction was one of those places where labor was getting cheaper and cheaper over time. And meanwhile, the older guys that have put 10,000 hours into framing or carpentry or whatever they've been doing are like they can't compete with the little guys. I I remember there's a particular contractor here in the area who I believe is involved in smuggling people here for cheap labor. He makes them work seven days a week, no overtime. And uh I remember one time he was saying, Yeah, I can I can undercut anybody in the market. And he is you know who I'm talking about. He is probably one of the largest, he's got an asphalt company now, landscaping, excavation.

SPEAKER_05 4:58

Let's not say too much.

SPEAKER_03 5:01

You know, I just think it's lame. And uh anytime someone would say, Oh, we're getting we're waiting for a bid on you know this particular company, I'd be like, uh, well, you know, yeah, whatever. See you later. Can't I'm no longer interested. No longer interested, exactly. Um, really rough. Markin, Markin, he's here. Thank you. Glad you made it. All right.

Globalism Failed And America First

SPEAKER_03 5:20

Howard Lutnick, this is last year, went to the World Economic Forum and he declared that globalism was dead. But we're going to just we're going to look today at a couple of the uh what are the ramifications of what globalization did to our society?

SPEAKER_07 5:34

Okay. Okay. We are in Davos with the World Economic Forum. And the Trump administration and myself, we are here to make a very clear point. Globalization has failed the West and the United States of America. It's a failed policy. It is what the WEP has stood for, which is export offshore, far shore. Find the cheapest labor in the world, and the world is a better place for it. The fact is, it has left America behind. It has left the American workers behind. And what we are here to say is that America first is a different model, one that we encourage other countries to consider, which is that our workers come first. We can have policies that impact our workers. Sovereignty is your borders. You're entitled to have borders. You shouldn't offshore your medicine, you shouldn't offshore your semiconductors, you shouldn't offshore your entire industrial base and have it be hollowed out beneath you. You should not be dependent for that which is fundamental to your sovereignty on any other nation. And if you're going to be dependent on someone, it darn well better be your best allies. Okay? And so that is a different way of thinking. It is completely different than the WEF. I viewed the WEF as not a flagpole in the middle. In fact, they are the flag. Whichever way the wind blew, so it blew. You should have solar, you should have wind. Why are you going to do solar and wind? Why would Europe agree to be net zero in 2030 when they don't make a battery? They don't make a battery. So if they go 2030, they are deciding to be subservient to China, who makes the batteries.

SPEAKER_03 7:39

That's it, right? So that that is uh Howard Lutnick, obviously, at the World Economic Forum, as he calls it the WIF. I love how that just sounds like such a degrading, right? Globalism is dead, right? We we have been on a globalist experiment for 70 years now, since the end of World War II. And there's been a lot of, and it's and it was really advanced when we got into the NAFTA trade deal, right? Because then we just it was like open door stuff going overseas. Nixon opened China, NAFTA trade deal, WTO in 1999. It's just been hollowing out our industrial base. Europe is probably worse than America has been. I mean, my understanding is part Europe is like all the Midwest, you know, where all the factories bailed out. If you're on the left coast or west coast or the right coast, east coast, west coast, you got to pick either right or left, or east or west. You can't really mix the two up, right? But if you're on the one of the coastlines, yeah, it's good because you're kind of the recipient of services and generator of software and all that kind of stuff. But in the Midwest, I mean, the industrial base was just absolutely hollowed out. And my understanding is most of Europe is like that. There's not really any great centers. I mean, Germany has de-industrialized significantly. And in order to accomplish that, right, there's a promise of decadence. Companies will make more profit, invest in the stock, drive the stock market up. It's good for the corporations, you get some asset value. But ultimately, what you're doing is you're not investing in your children's future. When you invest in a business that offshores, what are your kids going to be left with? Right. I mean, and this is one of the big, one of the interesting things about the society of boomers. They're the first generation. And I believe this is a systemic problem that was created by the fiat currency system because it disincentivizes savings. But the boomer generation is the first generation that got access to cheap credit, right? They got free money being printed and distributed. Right when they were hitting the housing market, we come off the gold standard and they're trying to print away the debt, right? And so they had the first access to cheap houses that hadn't appreciated for 200 years because it was a gold standard, right? And they got first access to the houses, they got all the benefit from appreciation, made them look wit rich. And then on top of that, they were Keynesian economics, encourages spending today. So you had vacations, second homes, extra cars, you know, collectibles. You just go on and on and on and on. It's the first generation that isn't using uh the mechanisms to pass down wealth, which means it's all going to be depleted upon their death and probate, right? They're the first generation that was not forward thinking. And it should be no surprise. They're also the first generation in American history that their children are worse off than they are. The children of boomers on a large cannot have the expectation that they will do as well as their parents. Their cost basis is too high to get into those houses that the boomer bought in 1972 for $23,000 are now $800,000, $900,000. And it's still a crappy 1962 three-bed, two bath in Skid Row. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05 10:49

I actually had a discussion with my son about this who's about 30 now. And I said, you know, son, don't feel bad that you're not in a house already, you know, you know, just to try to help his mental stability for the future, you know, so he doesn't feel bad because he's not doing what dad did.

SPEAKER_03 11:05

Yeah, it's it's tough. I I struggled to buy a house. I had to like manipulate things, and I'm a producer, you know, I'm someone that has always had a fairly decent income, enough to survive well. And uh it's it's hard out there. And I remember sitting at the when I was in college, and I'm political science, so you know, all the bad crap around the world. And you come out, I came out of college, I would say pretty liberal. I I think now I recognize it as classical liberal. And this is in the Bush country club Republican era where I was like, not that, right? Like, I'm not cool with that. I understood NAFTA, I understood all that stuff many, many years before it got into the main bloodstream. Like, little did I know I agreed with Ross Perot way more than I thought. But I was a little young to vote for him. So uh I was sitting with my grandmother one time at the kitchen table in Boise. She was visiting or whatever, and they lived on the Oregon coast and they bought a cute little house on I think two and a half or three acres, you know, right off Highway 101. It's a beautiful place, great little property to raise a family. And my grandfather, of course, added onto the house and did a bunch of stuff. But she was telling me, she's like, Well, you know, you're 25 years old and married with a kid, and you know, but when I by the time your father, your grandfather and I were your age, we already had a house. And it was a conversation. I'm the oldest grandkid, right? It was a conversation where it was like, what's wrong with you? You know, what did school ruin you? What do you not know how to work hard? It was a really weird conversation. I think she was trying to help. And I and at the time, at the time, a house that I could move into that was, you know, a reasonable house was going to be about 200 grand. My income was about $19,000 a year. Okay. So I asked my grandmother, well, how much did you pay for free house? Well, we paid $25,000. And how much did grandpa make? Well, grandpa was an electrician at the mill and he made about $15,000 a year. Okay, and how much was your car? Well, we had a car and it was $5,000, you know. And I'm like, Grandma, I'm a factor of 20. You were a factor of 0.7. You know, it was like, let's not, we we are not in the same world here. And she totally did not understand it. She had refinanced her house through the years. Because my grandpa eventually the lumber industry went away, the mill went away, they ended up buying a dry cleaner. They were never wealthy. But you know what they did? They paid for their kids at college because they refinanced the house. They just kept tapping that equity because they didn't make enough money, but because the equity was going up, because they're printing money, they could tap the equity whenever they needed, right? And it was always there was always something there because they weren't refinancing every other year, they were refinancing every five or six or seven years or 10 years, whatever it was, but there was always a piggy bank there. What happens when you don't have the piggy bank? Right. Imagine if when the mill went out of business and they were renting. Where are they gonna get the down payment for the dry cleaner? Where are they gonna get the down pay the money for their kids' college funds? Where are they gonna get the money for the next car repair or whatever the case was, right? That is the boomers kind of had that. In the end, they left nothing for their kids. Nothing for their kids, right? I mean, I don't know, some China. And I'm not, I love my grandparents. This isn't derogatory. It's just they kind of became a product of their generation. And on top of that, you had infiltration into the school systems that goes all the way up to post-secondary education college that would constantly demean the American way, demean meritocracy, demean free markets, while at the same time, the market is not free, right? They would blame the current state of the market on corporate this, corporate that. And yes, those some of the corporate oligarchs influence these globalist policies. They would demean it as if it was the American way. And so, what's better? Global, I don't know. Like it, it's a really weird mindset. You know who Caleb Hammer is? No, he does the little financial podcast where he's just dealing with couples and goes over their budget. Just rips them apart, right? So we're gonna play two clips. And

Housing Math And The Boomer Divide

SPEAKER_03 15:08

I I I want to play both of these clips really specifically because when we're looking at the American population, there's a couple dividing lines, and it's not like 50-50 every direction, but there's a couple 50-50 dividing lines. There's people over 40 and there's people under 40. People over over 40 are Gen X and boomers, and they had some chance at asset purchasing, some chance at a little bit of upside on the inflation. Inflation could be be good for you, like my grandparents' example. Asn't as the dollar was dwindling, their house was exploding in value. I probably could not afford their house right now, and it's not a great house now that it's a good idea.

SPEAKER_05 15:47

I feel like at my age, I'm an I'm on an inflection point on the graph, and I like got nothing, no benefit, you know.

SPEAKER_03 15:55

Yeah, I'm kind of in the same, I'm right at the middle line, right? Like, and so it's like, uh, you know, I I really had to work hard to kind of get into the asset class, but I've watched my siblings not be in the asset class.

SPEAKER_05 16:06

I'm not gonna get to take advantage of the equity situation, and I'm also know that I'm not gonna get to get the Social Security.

SPEAKER_03 16:13

Yeah, I mean you're not old enough to get the full benefit of robotics. So this is this is a couple that met with Caleb Hammer, and they said they hate America. Hate America. And we're gonna go through their reasons why. I think I've seen this clip. I would.

SPEAKER_13 16:29

I mean, I hate like literally everything about America.

SPEAKER_04 16:33

Let's get a couple specifics.

SPEAKER_13 16:35

All right.

SPEAKER_04 16:36

Uh everything's a lot.

SPEAKER_13 16:38

The healthcare industry.

SPEAKER_04 16:39

Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_13 16:40

I what about I know that I have like so many undiagnosed conditions. You guys make well, okay.

SPEAKER_04 16:47

You're not married, but at $90,000 a year. I mean, you guys get pretty top-end healthcare.

SPEAKER_13 16:52

I I've been able to take advantage of that. You guys aren't married. Yeah, you're not on his health care. Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 16:58

But even still, you making zero dollars, the welfare state that we have, you get a pretty robust coverage still.

SPEAKER_13 17:07

I mean, there could be a lot.

SPEAKER_04 17:08

Have you applied? What have you applied to? What health insurance do you have right now?

SPEAKER_13 17:12

None.

SPEAKER_04 17:13

That's your fault. The Affordable Care Act is there for you at the healthcare.gov for you to enroll in things that are completely subsidized. I mean, I've been trying to get you to apply to stuff. This sounds like a you problem. You're complaining about something that you haven't done. Don't get me wrong, health insurance in this country is ridiculously expensive. You're not gonna get me defending it by any means. But when you take an idiotic stance of it's bad, but I've done nothing, it's like, what the f am I gonna say? You're gonna make me sound like I'm the most roo-roo. Yay, let's charge a billion dollars constantly. But for what it's worth, remember, if you can afford it, we do have the best health care in the world. And you guys, as a combined household income of 90,000, when you're married, you would have access to that.

SPEAKER_13 18:00

I just can't believe that because especially being believed that because of feeling woman in the United States would be a good thing. Okay, well, you're talking abortion. I've actually had two abortions.

SPEAKER_02 18:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_13 18:11

Um, but when you're a woman in the United States and you have like a chronic health condition, you're more likely to go undiagnosed for 10 plus years.

SPEAKER_04 18:21

Girl, you haven't signed up for health insurance to go to the doctor when you get it for free.

SPEAKER_13 18:29

I mean, even when I've had health insurance, that's a I'm being a person that's not signing up.

SPEAKER_04 18:34

Girl, you have nothing but time.

SPEAKER_13 18:37

And then a few times I think the crazy thing is.

SPEAKER_04 18:40

I hate that you are getting me to defend our system, which is a certainly broken system. Everyone agrees on that across all political ideologies. And you're getting me to defend it because of the simple fact that you just literally haven't taken five minutes to go online and sign up for something that I pay tax. Caleb summarized it best at the end.

SPEAKER_03 19:00

You're forcing me to defend the system because you're a lazy ball. Like your hate of America is overriding your individual accountability to at least try. I love that. That's the summary, right? I just described how the system is kind of unfair. Yep. And guess what? There was a short window of time where maybe the system was fair, right? Maybe, but in those in the span of world history, it's always kind of been this way. How do you succeed in life? Go get it, go take charge. This girl doesn't even doesn't work and won't even apply for the free health care. They're not married, so she doesn't have to count his income. You know, she's zero income. She'd get free health care. I can't get health care because you haven't taken five minutes to try, right? Why do we have to defend the system when these are the people that are attacking it? That's the hardest thing. You see what I'm saying? There are lots of problems with the system. But when people like this criticize the system but will do nothing for themselves, how do you fix it? What do you want? Just totally free stuff. You just don't sign up for anything, just walk into the clinic and get whatever help you need. Clearly, she got two abortions, probably for free, right? She wants that to be the model of medical care. Here's another one, right? Here's another person who's a taker, not a payer. You're not patriotic?

SPEAKER_14 20:20

With blue hair, you think I'm patriotic?

SPEAKER_04 20:22

You can still be patriotic and be wrong about economics.

SPEAKER_14 20:31

Or like social programs.

SPEAKER_04 20:34

We spend 50% of the federal spending on social programs. Like what? Social programs, Medicare, Medicaid, mandatory spending, snap benefits, veteran benefits.

SPEAKER_14 20:43

You mean snap benefits that people just got taken away from them?

SPEAKER_04 20:45

You think everyone just got taken off Snap?

SPEAKER_14 20:47

Most people everyone.

SPEAKER_04 20:48

You think the majority just got taken off Snap? Our military spending is 10 to 20%.

SPEAKER_14 20:53

And that's the bombs you're freaking out about?

SPEAKER_04 20:55

10 to 20%. It's egregious, we spent 50% on social programs.

SPEAKER_14 20:58

I'm a military kid, and I can tell you that shit is not needed.

SPEAKER_04 21:01

Girl, you literally just got the information that you were just wrong and yet you're still doubling down. We don't spend the majority on bombs.

SPEAKER_14 21:07

Okay, maybe it's not the majority but it's well.

SPEAKER_04 21:09

It's not even close to the majority. It's not even a quarter. It's far too much. Okay, you could advocate for that, but that all of a sudden it doesn't mean you just said we don't spend anything on social. That's where like more than half of our money goes. What are you talking about? I think it needs to be more than a lot of people. As usual, you're uninformed about everything.

SPEAKER_14 21:23

I think it needs to be more than that.

SPEAKER_04 21:26

What do you mean? We spend more than like anyone. Well, number wise, absolutely. Yeah, well, tech technically.

SPEAKER_14 21:31

By technicality.

SPEAKER_04 21:33

Technicality by money. By per capita, by yes. We do a lot. We're a very progressive nation. We have the most progressive income tax in the entire Western world. Okay.

unknown 21:45

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_04 21:46

I love when people have no idea what they do. And then they're just not patriotic. Like, dude, you're literally not a contributor. You should be the most patriotic person. You contribute nothing. I mean You contribute literally nothing. You've only been a And and yet you're the one that doesn't like the country? I would say then the one that gives everything is the one that likes it? Leave for where? Anywhere. You still live in Germany.

SPEAKER_14 22:10

I'd rather live there.

SPEAKER_04 22:14

I could still be an artist there. Yeah. You think Germans just immediately they're like, oh, you want to be an artist? Let's give you $80,000 a year.

SPEAKER_14 22:20

Well, I know that they're not going to give me $80,000 a year for the state.

SPEAKER_04 22:23

What do you think would all of a sudden happen?

SPEAKER_14 22:25

I think if I was able to do my art full time, I'd be able to make the money I need to make.

SPEAKER_04 22:29

Yeah. Germans trying to pursue art and failure, that always goes over well.

SPEAKER_03 22:34

All right. Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 22:35

Hitler was an artist.

SPEAKER_03 22:38

That always goes over well. Jeez. The people that take the most are the least patriotic, right? This those two clips are like, okay, we don't want to have to defend the system. I don't like Obamacare, right? It doesn't work. And this is the proof we are the most progressive nation. We spend the most on the social safety net and all of the services, and it's still not enough. Why? Why is it not enough? It'll never be enough. It'll never be enough. For thousands of years, people have tried collectivism and it never works. This person was raised with the idea, go pursue your dreams. No, go make a living. Right. I have a brother-in-law who's constantly talking about the things parents say to their kids that they shouldn't. Right. Like, don't ever tell your kids you're special. Say, you're special to me. Right? The world may not see you as special. You need to earn your place. But to me, it's unconditional love. You're special. Right. He's always saying things like that. This is one of those instances where the parents told him you're special. You know, you could be anything you want. You don't have to work for it. They were, they were children of boomers who were able to pay for everything and provide the good life. And then when they hit the streets and they're like, this is hard, they blame the country. I get it. The system's broken. We can all complain. But your solution is just what? More free stuff, less bombs. At a certain point, the whole thing implodes. And we're kind of at that point. Before we get to the next thing, John Attackis said, Boise is where we measure rain in inches. Seattle measures it in emotional damage. Apparently, Seattle's is just nature's way of saying, you wanted to live here? Prove it. It's pretty good. They call it the rain tax, the rain tax. Douglas Wyatt, good morning. Glad you made it. All of you listening, we have to reach our objective of 75 chatters this month live during the live show. Kind of hard to do when you start at 6:30 in the morning. We like to eliminate most of the West Coast. So if you are listening, we've got a good chunk of people on Rumble right now. Please put a period in the comments. Say hi. Do something. Say, you know, we'd appreciate it. All right.

Fraud Drains The Safety Net

SPEAKER_03 24:49

Donald Trump gave a speech where he was talking about exactly what these people are criticizing, right? The social safety net isn't big enough, even though one of them doesn't even try to use it, and the other one, you know, complains about it not being big enough. Well, you know what? One of the contributing factors to this is fraud. It's people illegally using the system, right? So Donald Trump addressed this and he uses one egregious example.

SPEAKER_09 25:14

And then we had the most favorite, and we had all of these things, and with the war on fraud, which is headed up by JD, and I'm telling you, he's doing an amazing job, and he loves it because it's it's so unfair. They're stealing. I mean, I saw the other day a nurse, a nurse looked fine, didn't look like the brightest bulb. She stole a hundred million dollars. Not a million, not two hundred thousand, not fifty dollars. She stole a hundred million dollars. And they caught her because she was driving a brand new Ferrari that cost a million bucks, and they said that's a little extravagant for a nurse to try to figure out. And they caught her. It's unbelievable. The fraud is unbelievable. And I think we have to give that back to the states, by the way. We have to give things like uh the learning center, the learing, right? The learning centers. The federal government runs this stuff. We shouldn't be, we should be running our military and running a couple, but the states have to run all of that stuff, and you'll cut it down by 75%, and it'll be run better. But the states have to be giving it back just like we gave back education.

SPEAKER_03 26:32

Imagine, and I don't advocate for this, but imagine if you actually cut out all the fraud. What if what if Donald Trump is right, the 75% reduction and we what if we kept the spending the same? Now all of a sudden the social safety net would work a hundred million dollars. What's the snap benefit add up to per year? I think the max you can get is like $1,700 a month, right? And that's if you have a fairly large family. So, you know, let's just round it to $24,000 a year. How many times does $24,000 fit into $100 million? That's how many people that nurse stole from that should that maybe needed benefits, right? Maybe needed benefits. It is so egregious. The globalization project, the let's do whatever policies, whichever way the wind blows, whatever sounds good, whatever the universities are pushing out, let's put it into policy, has wrecked people's expectations. And what's the cause of suffering? Unmet expectations and attachment to the outcome. Go to school, get good job, you know, get good grades, get a good job, and you'll be taken care of. When you have that expectation and you put your life force energy into it, and you go to graduate from college, and it's like, here, have a minimum wage job that you could have had before you went to college, right? Unmet expectations. Then you've got on the other end, absolute corruption inside the system. It's a bad, it's bad, right? Now, as peasants, we have one ad, we have one thing we advocate for over and over again. Take it, take on the responsibility, right? Become free and assume your own responsibility for your actions. There, the the safety net may be there for you in your time of need, but it may not. Right. It may not. I was raised. Yeah, I was raised in my family over and over and over again with this mantra, and it served me well. I didn't realize how impactful this was till many, many years later. Right. If you're struggling, the first place you go to is family. The second place you go to is your church. The third place you go to is the state. And if everybody did that, right, a lot less people would get to the state. But now the way it's taught and the way it's pushed is go to the state first, then go suck dry some charity or something like that, and then go talk to your parents who are on their 74th cruise. Right? Like that's kind of what goes on. Doug Wyatt, uh H.L. Young says those complaining about the country can't even have a conversation. They get on their feelings and talk over others. Yeah, that's true. They get on their feelings for sure. Then they're like unpatriotic. Yes, they're the biggest takers. So one of the big effects on the economy is obviously oil prices.

Oil Pinch Points And War Fog

SPEAKER_03 29:08

It affects everything. It trickles down. Talk about trickle-down economics. The price of a barrel of oil trickles down. You know what I'm saying? Well, Donald Trump dropped on his truth social yesterday. The Strait of Hormoots is back. Oh, I didn't realize that had sound. Strait of Hormouth is back. Oil volumes are back. So yesterday there were 20 million dollars, or before the attack on Iran, there was 20 million barrels of oil a day coming out of the Strait of Hormouts. And apparently yesterday there was 18 million barrels of oil coming out of the Strait of Hormoots. That's pretty good. And you know what the best part is? None of it came from Iran. It all came from the older other Gulf countries right there in the street. That's pretty incredible. I mean, it it makes you go, wow, the the entire economic order revolving around oil with the Strait of Hermoots being a pinch point for 30% of it. They've already got the production back.

SPEAKER_05 29:57

Sounds like it's basically resolved. As far as we're concerned.

SPEAKER_03 30:01

At this point, it's just about regime change.

SPEAKER_05 30:04

Right.

SPEAKER_03 30:04

Right? I mean, that's what it feels like. Now, criticism abounds. And here's the thing: we're all blind. We have no freaking idea what's going on over there. We go to Trey Yanks every couple mornings, you know. Well, Trey, what's going on? Oh, they bombed some more stuff. Okay, cool. Any video? No. What I haven't seen is missiles being shot into Israel recently. You know, I mean, it sounds like they're Iran's range is getting shorter and shorter and shorter on what they can attack. So that, you know, that's resolving itself. Here's another thing, too. And I said to you right when you walked into the studio today, I said, in a couple years, we are just going to have a roaring economy. I mean, it's going to be, I think it's going to be something to behold, in my opinion. And the next president is going to get all the credit. Just like Trump is getting all the blame for Biden inflation, right? The next president is going to get all the credit for the stuff that Donald Trump's doing. And I think he understands that. And he'll be around after his presidency, truthing out, you know, I did it. This is because of me. Greatest president ever. I mean, he'll remind us of what he did, but you know, the typical lead lag, and that's how it's always been. I remember I nobody taught me this. I figured it out in college. But it's like, yeah, the next president gets the credit for the last president's actions because everything takes time to turn. And one of the things this president has done is he's brought a ton of investment back into the United States. And the investment hasn't been just AI data centers, right? That's a whole new thing. That's like the creation of the railroads. You know, it's like, whoa, this whole new tool that other businesses can use. That's, you know, in and of itself, is a huge accomplishment. Despite what you think about AI data centers, it's not a hundred percent for tracking. It's not just the control grid. They're they're a tool. Um, but also there's been a significant amount of investment in factories and things coming back. And why is that? Because the Trump administration changed the incentives. Unlike the globalists who said, yeah, go look for cheap labor, max profits, boomers who are asset holders, we want their share to increase. Meanwhile, their kids didn't have the jobs to support themselves, right? So by changing the incentives from a globalist situation to a more America-centric situation or a national-centric situation, how did they do that?

Tariffs And Reshoring The Economy

SPEAKER_03 32:22

Tariffs. If you make something overseas, great, your labor's cheaper. We're still gonna charge, it's still you're still gonna have the same cost basis once you hit our border. You know, so it's cheaper to make it here now, even paying higher wages. That incentive has been a big deal. Here's Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce on Squawkbox explaining just this.

SPEAKER_07 32:41

Just take a look at the GDP numbers. What happened is when the Supreme Court ruled against the president for tariffs and those tariffs came down, imports came flooding in. And the way we do GDP in America is we take our gross sales, so the like the big number of sales that every company in America, America makes, and you subtract imports. So when all those imports come flying in starting February all the way through the next quarter, that reduces the number of GDP by 1.6%. 1.6%. So it was going the other way. So if you took the quarter before and you added the quarter after, that's 1.85% GDP. That would put you well over 3% if the AIPA case with the Supreme Court had gone the other way. And you'll see the tariffs are going to be back in place, right? Over the next couple of weeks, they'll be all back in place, and you'll see imports start to fall, and you'll see GDP rise, and just that calculus itself over one and a half points are exactly right.

SPEAKER_03 33:50

If you just take is an incredible thing, right? The Fed tries to target inflation at 2%. And how do they calculate inflation? GDP is one of the things they use to calculate inflation. So when you're letting stuff get imported and you've got your gross sales minus imports, right? Because that's what you're spending, and we're still floating around one, two, three percent growth. That's a very strong U.S. economy. And he's saying once the tariffs are back in place, it's like changes really quick. That's incredible. That's incredible. Remember, Barack Obama told us to get comfortable with no growth. No growth. As much as we made, we imported and we were sitting at like 1% growth, you know, the inertia of the U.S. economy. It was like they were doing everything they could to shut it down. Whereas Trump, total opposite direction. Here he is at the Oval Office this week talking about the investments. And of course, like I said, the next president's gonna get credit because all this investment to build and to in and do you know, create infrastructure is going to take time to actually do.

SPEAKER_15 34:53

Thank you for for what you've been doing. I think it's sustainable. Uh, I I would guess you do too. And we stand ready, as Jeff and Bill said, to do our part, both in inbound, international, and goals there, but otherwise to make sure that we're contributing everything we can contribute to the growth of this incredible economy. So thank you.

SPEAKER_09 35:14

Thank you. Thank you.

SPEAKER_02 35:19

Mr. President, I just I'd like to say that from uh a commercial aviation perspective, the eyes of the world have been on us, and uh, we've certainly delivered uh records at Americans, but records for the industry in terms of transportation, and it's fraud-based every aspect. And no doubt it's a result of the economy and also the job market. So as we get into the summer, I want to give a shout out to Secretary Duffy. You've absolutely chosen the best person possible uh with these record uh uh levels of traffic. We've had to do some things different. And the investments that we're making in infrastructure, the hiring that we've done, and especially this modernization uh work that we're doing is is leading to great results. Now, as we finish out this summer, we have a busy Labor Day weekend. We're gonna hit all kinds of records uh this this weekend. The only thing I could help ask a little bit of help with is can you help me with the weather a little bit? Americans have a flight every 14 seconds coming up, and uh we got we gotta have clear skies. But as we look forward to these big events, uh you know, certainly World Cup has been fantastic. America 250. Uh, we can't wait for more of them, and we look forward to the Olympics and many, many other things. Okay, so thank you, Mr. President.

SPEAKER_09 36:31

Hello to Americans. We like Americans. So uh what's happening is amazing. It's not really covered properly, but it's something that's never happened before. The new number, because I've been saying 19.2 trillion for a while, but the new numbers coming out, it's gonna be over 20 trillion dollars is being invested in the United States. There's never been a country even close to that number.

SPEAKER_03 36:56

Our national debt is 40 trillion, so 20 trillion invested, that's outside capital, right? And I'm sure they're creating some of it, is coming into our economy. Do you invest a dollar and expect not to make a return? No, no, so 20 trillion, let's assume a cap rate of what 3%, 4%? You just paid off our national debt in 10 years, or you grew out of it. That's it right there. That's the Reagan plan. Grow out of it, right? Flate away some, grow out some uh some of it, that's it right there. $20 trillion, that's half the national debt. You calculate an ROI on that, you know, and you're gonna grow out of it. Assuming the next president come doesn't come in and go, we need more nurses making a hundred million dollars. Assuming that we actually get control of the spending, right? Because that's go going back to Caleb Hammer, macroeconomics, surprisingly not that different from microeconomics, you know what I mean? It's like, hey, you still can't spend more money.

SPEAKER_09 38:00

It's because of the tariffs, because people uh don't want to pay tariffs, so they build their plans here. Honda just announced they're coming in with a big one. Monster. Big. Uh we have many car companies that are coming in from Canada, as you've probably been reading. They're not drilled, but you know, they took them from us and now we're getting it back. They're coming in from Mexico, from uh if you take a look at South Korea, they're coming in from South Korea, Japan, and also from Germany. We have a lot of car plants going up. AI is going up. So we're leading China in AI very substantially. By the way, we have the president of China coming on the 24th. That'll be very exciting. Great. Love to love to have him. We have a lot of good things to discuss, very, very productive things to discuss with President Xi. But uh there's never been a time when $20 trillion of investment is coming in. And the other number was by China many years ago, the the previous record, but this is a record that's five times greater. It's incredible what's happening with that country. And I guess it's not covered as much as it should, but it it will be covering. And when the uh you see the construction numbers, you see the construction workers, but soon you're gonna see the people that work in the car plants and the factories. And uh as an example, uh Eli Lilly announced they're building five major uh places, labs, where they make uh the drugs that they sell, all of them. They're coming in from other countries, they're coming here.

SPEAKER_03 39:28

Remember how Scott Bessant told us we don't even make a moxicillin here in the United States? Well, there you go. In a couple of years we will be pfizer, medicines, everything.

SPEAKER_09 39:37

Uh they're coming back to the United States at levels never even thought possible before. And uh in a year from now you're gonna see numbers that are incredible. And the next president is gonna, I hope you people remember when the next president comes in in two and a half years, gonna say, what a great job he or she did.

SPEAKER_03 39:57

Get it. Andrew Jackson was belighted for a long time because when he came in and killed the central bank, we went through a four-year depression until we had the gilded age. His policies and his changing the way credit and banking was done in America, you know, going after the bank, is what allowed the Gilded Age to happen. The 5,000-year leap, as they call it, where we went from horse and wagon and buggy and nothing mechanized to mechanized industry, transportation, communication, all of it happened in that period of time. With the advent of AI, it is it is not a true equivalency, but it's very similar to the advent of the the uh what's the wire code, more not worse code, but the wire um sending a wire. Okay, all of a sudden you could get the news from Europe in an hour. You know, you could be in the Midwest somewhere, and all of a sudden you're getting news fresh off the press in London, right?

SPEAKER_05 41:00

Right. Before that it was Pony Express.

SPEAKER_03 41:02

It can take you three months to know the king had died, right? Or a year or longer, right? So communication, transportation led to an abundance of opportunity for a myriad of small businesses to take advantage of. Hey, I can get lumber. You you know, in your family's from Kansas, right? If they were there long enough, they used to have sod houses. You know why? No freaking lumber, nothing, there were no resources other than grass, right? So they made sod houses. You know when that stopped? When the railroad could bring lumber from Minnesota, that's when it stopped. And then you get real houses, and then we see what tornadoes do to those houses, right? So I think that's really important. There is a horizon on this stuff. I'm very discouraged by black pill Republicans, conservatives, the Tucker Carlson's, the Alex Jones. I don't know what they're smoking, right? The world is a big place, and one man, one president, one administration cannot attack every single problem. They can directionally do some things, they can set some policies, but we didn't get here overnight. We didn't get to this behemoth of a leviathan of kind of a corrupt government that doesn't really serve the people anymore quickly. I mean, this took a gener two generations to really accomplish. And we still have hope. Like it's they could still take us way further down the rabbit hole. You know what I mean? Like we are not quite Venezuela yet. And so it's very discouraging when people can't look at this and go, you know what? No one president can fix everything, but some presidents like Andrew Jackson can fix the important things. There's a reason why Donald Trump keeps a bust of Andrew Jackson in his office.

SPEAKER_05 42:51

Oh, I didn't know he did that.

SPEAKER_03 42:52

He does, yeah. He yes, absolutely. Old Hickory himself. So it's really important that the, you know, I heard Ted Cruz say yesterday, he encourages Trump publicly when he does good things, and he only officers criticism in private, but he's honest about what he's what he says, right? There's a lot of people out there that seem to praise him in private, but they criticism in public and it divides the base, it makes people go all over the place, right? I I see this most with like the Epstein people. If you can't go after Epstein, what can you fix? Epstein is a product of the corruption. Epstein was a money launderer, he was a gun runner, he was a drug trafficker and a human trafficker. They all go together, right? They all are a package. So, how do you fix human trafficking? Stop the drug trade, stop the gun arms, the illegal arms sales, right? And then all of a sudden, human trafficking is a way easier thing to do. And so that's that is something that's, I think, incredibly important. And it all really does start with money in the economy, the incentives, right? What is the incentive? Under the World Economic Forum model of globalism, the incentive. were all wrong. All wrong. They hurt the little guy a thousand percent. So changing those incentives matter.

Washington Taxes And The Golden Goose

SPEAKER_03 44:08

There was a letter written by the uh this is the uh what was this group called? It's called the Washington Architects Builders and Contractors. They sent a letter to the governor and to the mayor of Seattle and the mayor and the city council and they said this Dear Governor Ferguson, Mayor Wilson, and distinguished legislators and council members, we write as practicing architects, general contractors, and design professionals whose livelihoods and the livelihoods of the thousands of carpenters, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, suppliers, and office staff who work with us. The entire Kulak, the Kulaks, right? The middle class merchant class, the small business owners depend on healthy, growing private economy in Washington. We are not millionaires. Most of us run or work in small to mid-sized firms. Our clients, however, frequently are high earning individuals and families who commission custom homes, major innovations, and commercial projects that employ the entire local ecosystem of skilled tradespeople. I had an employee one time who moved up here from California after he retired being an excavator to come work for me. Not quite retired. He couldn't stay stop working. He's just like I'm a single guy. I got I got to do something. So he came and worked for me and he actually became one of my mentors right like as an employee he taught me a young man running an excavation business how to operate, how to site manage and project manage and all that kind of stuff. And he used to say something all the time we'd go onto these job sites that nobody in our company could afford right and we'd be building some really nice or we wouldn't be building we'd be digging out a foundation for some nice big house or whatever for a retired boomer couple of course usually and he would always say thank God for rich people. Yeah. Right? He's thank you for rich people because they're the ones who put food on our table by having us build this house or whatever. We have watched with growing alarm as state and local policy has treated these clients as inexhaustible an inexhaustible cash machine. The most recent clearest example is the 9.9% millionaire tax on income above 1 million signed into law and scheduled to take effect in 2028. This measure has already produced the predictable response high earners are relocating, delaying projects or canceling them outright. This is not abstract ideology it is the story of the golden goose if we look to the productive class and see only golden eggs and an opportunity for more revenue the collective hand closes around the goose's throat. The result is not more eggs it is a quieter, poorer economy. Second, third and deeper order effects we already see every high-end residential or commercial project supports hundreds of jobs across the design and construction pipeline. Even when a client moves to Texas, Florida, Arizona or Tennessee, those jobs do not relocate with them. They disappear from Washington entirely. Architects and builders are the first to feel the contraction fewer commissions, delayed starts, reduced fee income, and eventual staff reductions, the impact end cascades to subcontractors, material suppliers, and the restaurant shops and service businesses that rely on construction payrolls. The same pattern has already appeared with earlier levies, capital gains, jumpstart payroll tax, and the high compensation taxes. Initial revenue often exceeds projections because wealth is concentrated. The longer term effect is a smaller tax base and greater volatility. Celebrating a single strong collection year while ignoring the flight already underway is short-sighted. Housing supply already constrained by regulation and cost is further damaged when the very people who finance the demand higher quality denser and more innovative projects leave. The remaining tax burden falls more heavily on those who stay including the non-millionaires whose wages and small businesses business income are now at greater risk. We do not dispute the government needs revenue or that public services matter. We dispute the assumption that productive the productive class can be squeezed indefinitely without consequences. That is diminishing their department dismissing their departure is a sophisticated policy rather than self-harm. Continuing down this path accelerates the decline and then they go on to make some requests about how to keep businesses local. Ron, you're a civil engineer do you see this?

SPEAKER_05 48:21

Oh yeah um there's a lot less um local developers that are willing to spend money right now in the area it's just it's a tight market it's a tighter market.

SPEAKER_03 48:33

And it's purely because of uncertainty. Yes it's not because there's not people here it's not because it's not a gorgeous place to live. No in our county we've got three freaking military bases.

SPEAKER_05 48:42

And there's a shortage of housing there is a shortage of housing.

SPEAKER_03 48:45

Big time right that's the crazy thing is it's like it feels like it's right but there can be nothing big done. You know it's like and that's killing the golden goose now in Washington state I have contended this for a long time. I think we're a red state I see a lot more good old boys and a lot more people that you know work for a living like we don't have massive unemployment in this county most of Washington is actually pretty robust. We have tons of natural resources tons of opportunity we've we've got one of the you know if you add up Tacoma and Seattle I think you have the largest port system in the country I think I think California's bigger but it's number one but I think if you were to combine you know the two ports we have that are 10 miles apart we would be the biggest and we are pretty rural but we got you know Navy bases sprinkled around yeah and and Lewis McCord Air Force Base and Everett has a bunch of aircraft carriers we have a great there I I had a guy tell me one time if you can't make it in Washington state you can't make it anywhere. Yeah and I I totally that's the truth. However that was because there were a lot of golden geese Microsoft, Amazon, Walmart, Starbucks, Boeing uh the entire port system you know there's multiple ports, huge employer base, transportation hubs, Kent Valley, that whole area there was the manufacturing and uh custom machining center of the planet you could get anything made in the Kent Valley a lot of the rural areas outside of Seattle were bedroom communities for Seattle and a lot of those areas including Boeing etc would produce a lot of pretty rich dudes and those guys would sprinkle themselves around the rural areas and all the you know yes all the labor in those areas would be able to be supported just like this guy in the letter's talking about Kenworth trucks right based out of here like all of them and guess what one by one they're relocated. Starbucks is in Tennessee now Boeing's moved to South Carolina I mean sure they have a factory Seattle's pro so progressive they've pushed them all out. Pushed them all out that's right and and the sad thing is is these big corporations because BlackRock who is a big investor in just about everything as well as other big investment firms all pushed ESG and DEI right so these corporations got on board with that and pushed it and they changed they changed societal fabric which became very um what's the what's the phrase revisionist historians where they look at everything we do as bad and then they get on board with globalism. I remember I came up here to Seattle in 1999 maybe it was 2001 can't quite remember the exact year I was in high school it was on a choir trip. It was during the WTO riots. So I got to go see the WTO riots on a choir trip. Police little did I know young man don't go to any riots you know I just thought it was a Seattle pastime right yeah we riot here for fun what's crazy is Seattle was on the front line of fighting the WTO and the letting China come into the marketplace and now we're one of the biggest advocates of those policies it's it's hilarious how it flipped. And how did it flip flop? The way it flipped flop was we got bad leadership how did we get bad leadership we voted it in voted them in. Or

Mail In Voting Barcodes And Drop Boxes

SPEAKER_03 51:58

did we or did we exactly or did we now Washington state when it comes to the voter fraud and all that kind of stuff has kind of been left out of the conversation on the national state very weird. And I think a lot of people just look at Washington Oregon and California as kind of lost causes like you can win a national election without those states.

SPEAKER_05 52:15

It's really been troubling to me that we've been left out too because um I have a lot of relatives in other states and when I go tell them you know just how wacky it is up here they don't believe me because I've we're not in the news.

SPEAKER_03 52:27

Yeah we're not in the news so just in the last few weeks though the eye of Sauron has turned to Washington state Washington state is one of I believe only two states that is 100% mail in voting. Huh right this is why our Secretary of state well I'm gonna prevent IC from going to the polling centers. What are you talking about? We don't even have polling centers you're a retard okay like literally a retard. How did you get elected oh mail in votes so this United States Postal Service order that's requiring barcodes for tracking of where ballots go and when they come back and and scrubbing the lists against the illegal immigrant lists and the convict list and the who's moved out of the state list, right? We haven't been doing that. And now the pressure's on because this mail-in ballot uh executive order that Trump has that has survived a Supreme Court challenge, you know, they're kind of going back to take another bite at the apple to try to get an injunction again is putting Washington in a very, very difficult place. And what's happened is the elected leaders that are in charge of elections have done a series of press conferences. And the first thing we recognize is they acknowledge that the mail system is inefficient and shouldn't be used for elections. Completely different than what they said three months ago when they were like mail's fine it's a hundred Bob Ferguson put out a uh a meme thing that said 100% accurate 100% accurate okay this is I gotta remember her name here this is uh oh excuse me this is California Congresswoman this isn't even Washington but the same thing applies here Norma Torres says Democrats plan to stop Donald Trump's new Bell and reforms with USB USPS by any means necessary. Think about this for a second an election ago they were like mail and ballots are great they're totally fine no problems totally secure despite the fact that Jimmy Carter said they weren't right and everybody who's ever looked at it says they weren't and now that it's being pressured they're going oh mail isn't effective you shouldn't even use mail listen to this they're gonna fight it in any way possible why are they advocating for this your goddamn job is to deliver the mail we pay you to deliver the mail that is it we don't pay you to process the Republican agenda or to do Donald Trump's bidding your job every stamp that we put on an envelope is secured by your promise to do your job I need every postal worker to demand their ability to continue to do their job.

SPEAKER_12 55:08

We're pushing we're suing we will not leave any stone unturned we are preparing our communities and we're saying if you cannot we that we cannot trust that these workers are going to be able to do their job because of who their boss is so think of another plan.

SPEAKER_03 55:27

It was plenty good good enough for you in 2020 plenty good enough for you in 2020 so this is the switch we only want to use when it's a Democrat in office what yeah exactly and another plan is drop it at any ballot authorized ballot location there are drop boxes everywhere in our communities make sure that you have a plan i i I I need to be clear here there's a there's a whiplash effect in the 2020 election they did use drop boxes obviously a lot of mail and fraud but a lot of drop boxes the documentary 2000 mules came out I don't care what Bill Barr said they've got video footage of people going from box to box to box dropping off bundles of ballots okay so in the last election and two elections they have de-emphasized dropbox because they can get caught because they can get caught right you can literally in Georgia you see the the cell phone data that they just bought commercially again you're being tracked cell phone data going to stacey abrams NGO dropbox drop box dropbox dropbox NGO drop box dropbox dropbox dropbox NGO dropbox dropbox just running a big loop okay on video pinging data there is no reason why someone in a 24 hour period goes to stacey abrams NGO twice and then goes to 10 drop boxes no reason right to give your ballot to a trusted individual who can drop it off for you if that's that's called ballot harvesting that is something that is legal in your state I would just like to point out the obvious here this California Congresswoman she said that Democrats have a plan.

SPEAKER_19 57:13

Immediately following the we have a plan statement was another statement about ballot drop boxes being all over their communities. So by that you can only infer that they don't trust the USPS so what they're going to do is they're gonna use a new mechanism these ballot drop boxes which is what they always do anyway but if it was up to me and I had to take a wild guess on what they're planning on doing. First of all look at her eyes these people are desperate they're crazed I mean they're losing it because they know that they're going to have a major issue if they can't get these mail-in ballots out to all their fraudulent voters and do ballot harvesting. If I had a guess I'm guessing the new plan is to flood these ballot drop boxes with as many fake ineligible ballots as possible and then count those and bypass the USPS that already did it.

SPEAKER_03 58:01

It's not a new plan it's just let's go back to plan A. All right so now here's Washington this is Senator Maria Cantwell talking about uh this last primary election we had really really low turnout Ron really low turnout but one of the things is is slowly but surely the eye of Sauron is looking at these election processes right more and more people are going there's a problem here. And so we had super low turnout as a Republican going to the beating we got blamed low turnout every time there's low turnout the Democrats run away with it blah blah blah you guys got to get out and vote.

SPEAKER_16 58:39

All right well turns out maybe there wasn't that low of turnout Washington had a little bit of a problem this last primary now we're just 62 days away from a pivotal midterm election and our report shows some troubling trends ballots that voters believed they had mailed in time were rejected because they lacked a timely verifiable postmark or arrived too late to be counted. This is due to changes in the postal system that was discussed by the previous speakers but in last month's primary the rate of ballots rejected by the postmark shot up by 32% compared to the 2024 primary and the story was even worse in rural communities. Why is that well the League of Women Voters just talked about the fact that you don't necessarily have ballot boxes everywhere easy I can walk to mine just in my own neighborhood at the library and cast my ballot but in a rural community you don't have that ability and if you are now casting your ballot driving to that post office who's not stamping your ballot as received and stamped that day that's what Washingtans need to know. The post office is taking your ballot as a piece of mail but not stamping it that day they are waiting and going to a distribution center and then later postmarking that and may thereby be delaying your actual vote.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:08

And so how would you fix that? Well don't worry about the stamp worry about the barcode you mean every voter gets their own barcode we can't have that she's lying right she's lying about the delayed postmarking you drop it off at the mail they're they're gonna postmark it that day like it as soon as they touch it they they stamp it right so that's a total in my opinion abject lie there. Like I don't it's not working that way but they're concerned though because now that you can't count ballots after election day and you have historically a lot of ballots showing up late so now the push is going to put drop boxes everywhere. We need everybody to have drop boxes guys they're juicing it they're juicing it right Oregon already had to remove 8000 8000 voters from their registration. Washington hasn't quite got that yet you know it's probably going to be like 1.5 million it's gonna be a big number they send out five million ballots Ron what's the population of Washington oh jeez six six point five well even if I mean there's not that many voters exactly this is Wisconsin was sending out I think the number was eight million ballots when they have four million adults in the state right so this is another one of those things like there's not five million adults in this state there's not there there's just not right that's that's crazy. We're also a huge state with H1B visa holders and green card holders half the tech community is from out of this country there shouldn't be voting right here's uh a report from Cairo News this is by G and Ursula quote I'm pretty angry Washington State Secretary of State blasts voter fraud investigation Washington is one of nine states being targeted in a new voter fraud crackdown Department of Homeland Security agents are arriving in several states to investigate voter fraud including Washington starting Tuesday other states to be investigated include Wisconsin, Missouri, Georgia California, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New York and Connecticut quote, I wish they would just pick up the phone and call us instead we go get to read about it in the news, Secretary of State Hobbes said. We're reaching out to other states to see if they've been contacted we will attempt to fight when we need to fight and we will cooperate when we need to cooperate but we don't know anything because we just heard about it in the news. Washington joined a 25 state lawsuit in August challenging the U.S. rule that stems from the executive order President Trump signed in March restricting mail-in voting the rule requires ballot envelopes to carry a USPS approved barcode and directs the Postal Service to deliver ballots only to voters on the federally approved list a federal court issued a temporary restraining order blocking the rule with a hearing schedule for September 3rd that's today on a longer term injunction without it the rule would take effect September 10th the in Washington they're saying oh we already printed the ballots we just can't do it we can't do it dude way to leave it till the 11th hour when asked how he felt about the timing Hobbs didn't hold back I'm pretty angry to tell you the truth we just keep on getting monkey wrenches thrown in our face we need help from the federal government because of cybersecurity attacks from other nation state actors influencing operations and the feds are usually with us yeah when they're Democrats and they're not instead they're doing this trying to undermine our elections it was it wasn't like this is the first this it wasn't like this in the first Trump administration I know that's why you guys blew them away in 2020 20 million extra ballots 20 million like we still haven't seen where those people are or came from right uh he said things he said things but the government itself department of homeland security and SISA they would help us they would assist us uh so she goes the barcode dispute on what voters should do if the rule takes effects Hobbs said the Postal Service rule creates a practical problem regardless of intent since the state's ballot return envelopes aren't equipped with the individual outgoing and return barcodes the rule would require it's horrified because it was the UPS rulemaking that said you had to put these individual barcodes on it. It begs the question what was this on purpose to cause the issue the holdup this is me unfortunately being paranoid because of the situation we're currently in like you might lose an election is that what you're afraid of if the rule stands take it to a drop box that's a signal that's a signal right if this ends up being the case don't let the postal service process it because you'll get caught that's what they're saying. The good news is Washingtonians have been using dropboxes more and more in fact the latest percentage was 75% of voters using a drop box. We we would really push hard if our backs are against the wall and live with this rule. I hope we have to live with it. You should do it anyways because the USPS changed how they do POSMAX. If you're a week out from the election really should take your ballot to the drop box to have it counted. If anyone wants the public data they can get it Hobbs said what we're not going to do is give you the private information last four of your social security number driver's license full date of birth the reason I'm not going to do that is because it's against state law it's actually against federal law because of the privacy act yeah you shouldn't give it out but you should probably secure your servers because it's all been leaked. In other countries I was uh I was deployed in deployed in Kosovo when I was deployed in Iraq you had a miss and disinformation okay you had not nation state actors trying to disrupt elections I didn't expect that to happen here but it looks like it's happening here yeah nation states disrupting the election so that's Trump's complaint you just confirmed it these people are in a knot now there was a whistleblower from the United States Postal Services and this is from Ursula on the on her radio show talking about one of the problems with this United States Postal Service uh deal in regards to uh eliminating ballots Let's listen to this.

SPEAKER_20 1:06:00

This whistleblower said that the Postal Service has built a system where one bad barcode in a batch of 10,000 ballots could cause the entire batch to be rejected. Now, here in Washington, we mail what more than five million ballots. How could that impact us here?

SPEAKER_10 1:06:19

Well, it's horrifying because it was the USPS rulemaking that said you had to put these individual barcodes on it. So now it begs the question like, was this on purpose to cause this issue to hold up? I mean, I don't know. Obviously, this will have to be investigated. This is me, you know, unfortunately being paranoid.

SPEAKER_20 1:06:39

The advice is let's try to bypass the postal service all together and just go straight to the ballot box.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:46

Yes. Get the rules in place. But you should do that anyway because as you recall, the USP has changed how they do postmarks. So if you're a week out from the election, you really should take your ballot to a Dropbox.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:01

So who's this whistleblower, Ron? Who's this whistleblower? A Democrat operative. It sounded like Steve Hobbs. Oh, I don't know anything about it. We're gonna investigate it. It's a Democrat operative. This is just another monkey wrench, right? It's it's it's so obvious when you look at it. Assistant

Voter Rolls Whistleblowers And Prosecutions

SPEAKER_03 1:07:22

Attorney General Harmee Dillon said this. She threatens state with officials with prosecution if you knowingly allow non-citizens to vote in elections. You are committing a federal crime. And so as it goes through here, it hones in on Michigan. And what's going on is we've had one election clerk after another come out as a whistleblower, including one sheriff saying the voter rolls are not being scrubbed and they're intentionally registering illegal voters to vote. So it goes, it goes in here to talk about just that, right? All these people have come out. This is the sheriff, a whistleblower's revealed Michigan Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson's election software is programmed to automatically register non-fitizens, including illegal aliens, to vote. Oops, I didn't mean to click that. Right. You've got another one here. This is Hastings Charter Towns Township. Michigan clerk David Olson makes a public plea to feds to help him remove non-citizens placed on roles by crooked Michigan uh Secretary of State Jocelyn Vincent, that he says he can't possibly find or detect. When I went and met with our local auditor, he basically said the only thing that they scrub off the rolls is if somebody does a local change of address. That's it. All the felons, all the illegals, all the deaths, that's all done at the Secretary of State level. A centralized pool there to do. So this the local assessor might be doing his job as best he possibly can. I went in there and I was like, as a convict, I got ballots. And he just looked at me like nothing, Ron. He had nothing, right? Well, your wife is marked as inactive because there's a change of address to Port Angeles. What are you talking about? There's no change. We've lived in our house for 16 years. There's no change of address. My daughter has a driver's license, is married in another state. Still got a ballot. Perfect. Well, the responsibility is on you. You got to take yourself off the voter rolls. Oh, so as a convict in prison, I should, you know, use one of my phone calls to call you and let you know, hey, I'm a convict. Can you get rid of my ballot? You know what I mean? Insanity. It's happening everywhere where they have these mass mail in ballots. The next Michigan, and then there was another one here. Michigan clerk asked for help to remove non-citizens from her voter rolls. This is the climax township. Michigan clerk Sarah DeBure, bravely inviting feds to come to her office and remove non-citizens from her voter rolls. So this is a problem in Michigan, no doubt about it. And Harmeet Dillon has threatened, you know, criminal prosecution with anybody who uh knowingly registers illegals to vote. It's a let's see if they follow through, right? I mean, that's kind of the story. You can tell me what I want to hear, but where's the accountability? Where's the actual accountability? Now, slowly but surely, you're seeing more and more people get picked off. Here's an Oklahoma City manager who was arrested on 11 felony fraud charges after falsifying registration applications with other people's names. So I want it, I want you to look, take a pic, take a look at her picture here, right? This is just your neighbor. This is someone who's completely benign when they're passing you by at Walmart, right? Completely not a blue-haired weirdo with a bull ring, right? This is just grandma.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:36

Turns out, turns out, the city manager of a tiny Oklahoma town has been arrested and charged with 11 felony counts for voter registration fraud after investigations say she submitted applications using other people's names and forged signatures. Shauna Lou Barnes, city manager of town of Mansville in Johnson County. I wonder how far that is from you, Sarah Sings, was taken into custody at her home Monday after a warrant charging her with 11 counts of false affidavit and voter registration. She was booked into the Johnson County jail. As one of Oklahoma's 77 constitutionally elected sheriffs, it is our duty and the duty of every sheriff in the state to protect the integrity of our elections, one of our most sacred rights of citizens in this country. It is not some sort of abstract voting irregularity. This is a sitting, city official allegedly manufacturing votes by stealing identities and forging signatures so those names could participate in a primary election. And it is not Barnes's first tangle with public money and public records. In 2017, while serving as the Mansville Town Treasurer, Barnes was charged with felony embezzlement after a state found $80,000 in mismanaged funds between 2011 and 2015. Court documents at the time alleged she obtained a state grant under false pretenses. The same audit documented unauthorized overtime, scrap metal sales with no deposits, an unauthorized inmate commissary fund, unsupported food purchases, and missing receipts. Her nephew was serving as fire chief during part of that period. Shocking.

unknown 1:12:04

Shocking.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:05

Shocking. This is like electing Tara Simmons for the umpteenth time. It's like, how many, what? Are we this isn't we're still doing that? How are we doing this? Well, she can win her own elections. She just registers people to vote, right? That's awesome. Speaking of insecurity, and I we'll we'll get we'll get to that in a second. Uh on the on the um Olstein show, what's his name? Joel Altman, excuse me. Joel Altman show. Patrick Byrne was on. We love Patrick Byrne, right? Top CIA national security asset for Barack Obama, involved in Russia Gate, setting up Hillary Clinton and setting up Donald Trump, and Maria Boutina was his little tist, and she's the one who was the Russian spy, and you know, the whole thing. Like he was deeply involved in all of this. And he spent the last five years really running around the world chasing down the voter fraud, the machines in Venezuela, Serbia, Iran, the whole thing, right? He's kind of exposed it all. And this is his interview. The government, the feds, have all the information, but they just don't seem to be doing anything about it.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:08

Tell me something that's shattering that nobody knows that I can literally just drop on the foreheads of everyone.

SPEAKER_08 1:13:17

There were certain conversations that were had by certain people that unbeknownst to them were actually on videotape. Not gonna say who the people are or what the, but just in the realm of what we're talking about, there are people who were actually negotiating matters who are actually on videotape in their negotiations. So it's really hard to lie about it. Government has all the truth now. The problem isn't that the government doesn't have the truth. The deep state, the CIA are just blocking it. They're twisting Trump's arm. Who's no who knows what they've got on him, but they're twisting him to keep this from coming out.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:58

By the way, the assumption there, if you like are on the Trump TDS train, is that there's some specific blackmail against Trump. You know, this is the hookers in Moscow ping. Like that this or Stormy, another Stormy Daniels waiting in the that's not it. That's not it. It's a domestic terror attack, right? What do they have on Trump? They don't have anything on Trump. What they have is threats. When you have a rogue CIA element that's been smuggling drugs into this country and people and setting up you know communist nations that are repressive around the world, they're just like, oh, well, you know, what would a bomb in downtown LA do? What would another 9-11 style attack do? Right? That's what they can have over him. It's he's being being blackmailed with your life. Some football stadium could just, you know, I don't know, I guess uh that particular metal detector wasn't working. Everybody walk and somebody walks through with a suicide. That's the kind of stuff that they can have on him. Hey, if you overturn this Apple cart, we'll make it really rough on this country. We'll make it implode from inside, we'll trigger a civil war, we'll stage a Chaz, a Chop, a George Floyd, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:15:10

You think Donald Trump in every city.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:12

Imagine Donald Trump sitting back in 2020. You have a bioweapon running loose that our country created, so you can't really expose that because it's killing people. You know, you're like the head of the country, and you have George Floyd BLM riots going on in all 50 states, 37 major metropolitans, billions of dollars of property damage, right? Many law enforcement officers and protesters lost their lives, and that was just the precursor, right? Now you've got you've had four years of a wide open southern border, you've got Trendwa people spread all over the country. And what did these Venezuela people as they were walking up the trail were coming to your country? You think you're good now, we'll be on the bus, we'll shoot you in the head. We're coming to cause this chaos. You see what I'm saying? Like, what do they have over Trump? That's what they have over Trump. I don't believe they've got some, you know, hey, Jared Kushner did a business deal, or you know, you slept with another porn star. That's not what we're dealing with here. Okay. This Trump is shameless. I mean, and so what?

SPEAKER_08 1:16:13

Really should do, which is declare national security emergency, no uh election machines, and we're gonna have Tim Meisberger come in and run an election like we do in Burma. Uh and Tim's done in 55 other countries, a simple, plain old uh election where you vote at the precinct and there's ID and there's one national holiday and everybody votes. And that and we and use the National Guard. Trump could do that in 60 days if with Tim Meisberg.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:42

And we're at 60 days. So if he doesn't declare a national emergency immediately, then we're gonna just get stuck with whatever the US Postal Service gets stuck with. You're gonna get stuck with whatever your Secretary of State will process and do, and we've basically fixed the problem on the margins. That's it.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:01

Right? To me, that's a loss. To me, that's a loss. It feels like it.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:08

Incremental steps are steps. It does feel like a loss. One of the things that comes up over and over and over again is people who believe there's a one big solution, right? That we're going to return to the republic and that we're gonna do away with all these unelected people. Dates come and go over and over. I spent four years. I spent four years being like, military's gonna show up, they're gonna take out Biden, my case is gonna get dismissed. Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope. It's always incremental steps. One of the other big things that's going on is our cyber systems are totally insecure. You

Data Leaks Real ID And The Control Grid

SPEAKER_03 1:17:44

know how insecure they are? International Cyber Giant just pushed published this. Breaking Defense Secretary Pete Hex's driver's license has been leaked. A new dark web service is selling scans and of his and 153 million US and Canadian driver's license. Timestamps on the scams match victim victims' visits to Hertz rental counters, cannabis dispensaries. Evidence points to IDscan.net, an ID verification vendor used by Hertz, Target, FedEx, and 100 plus dispensaries. You know when you go in somewhere and they're like, can we scan your ID? Don't do that. Say, I'm a no-scanner. Don't do that, right? Because your ID is now linked to your trip to Target or your trip to the gas station to buy cigarettes or whatever it is. Anytime they want you to scan your ID, it that trip is now registered to your ID card. The FBI opened an investigation on Tuesday. Nexus claims it has been exfiltrating for over a year. They've just been downloading the material for a year. ATF gun list, driver's license databases, including everything that's ever been tagged with it. This is why you don't want real ID. Avoid real ID like your life depends on it. As Thomas Massey described it, they have the Dewey Decimal system. They already have a catalog file on you, but they can't officially connect it to you when the driver's licenses are not secure. As long as your driver's license is the same one that they issue it to an illegal alien, you're safe. They cannot definitively say it's you, right? Because it could be Jose Rodriguez running around with Taylor John Atis' ID card. Like that, you know, or no name given, right? There's no positive proof. Real ID requires you to provide the birth certificates. It's like getting a passport. You got to really prove who you are, which then guarantees when your ID card gets scanned. Yep, that was them, right? 400,000 licenses in just 24 hours. So here's Pete Heggseth's breakdown. Yeah, I think this matters a little bit. The control grid, the tracking system already exists. For the most part, it's used for commercial advertising and stuff like that. But what we're watching over in Iran is Trump is saying it outright. We can see from space every square inch. I learned about this years and years ago. Do you remember the movie with Will Smith in it? Um, Enemy of the State?

SPEAKER_05 1:20:01

Uh, I remember the title, but I don't really remember the plot or anything.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:05

So in the movie Enemy of the State, Will Smith is, you know, enemy of the state, and he's running around and they're tracking him with satellites. You know, he went in this building, he went out that building. It's all this satellites tracking him. Well, that system didn't exist when that movie was created, but there was some you know engineer that was like, I think that's a good idea. I could make that. And so we did. It's called Eye in the Sky. It's a satellite that has a single camera lens that is like 156 megapixels or whatever. And so this satellite hovers over Baltimore. Okay, that was where the first one was deployed. It just sits, it just stays in that what is it, fixed orbit over Baltimore. And a single camera lens captures the entire city.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:49

Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:50

And of course, it one single picture, everything can be tracked, and they use it to fight crime, which makes you wonder with that system, why are there carjackings? Why are there robberies? Why are these other things?

SPEAKER_05 1:21:02

Why are there missing children?

SPEAKER_03 1:21:04

Why are there missing children? Exactly. You've got the system, but they don't use it really to serve us all the time, right? But it's there and it's been there for 15 years or something like that. Well, that same system is now deployed everywhere. Robert Kennedy Jr. warned us of this in his campaign when he said Bill Gates is going to launch 65,000 of these satellites. Obviously, this is what Space Force is doing in Iran, right? So when we talk about flock cameras, we talk about all this stuff, the the infrastructure for this is being built. It's just a matter of when they turn it on us, which then reinforces the fact that we have to, on the margins, right? Try not to get real ID. Use a passport card instead, right? It's not the same thing, right? They they they treat it a little bit different. That will allow you to fly. Don't buy into the benefit that you have to have real ID to live your life. Go get a passport card, it will satisfy everything you need. And then it's not connected to the that system, right? Flock cameras can't do a ton about it, but but you know what you can do? You can have a phone that has a rotating device ID number because the flock cameras don't just track your car and license plate, they track your Bluetooth devices and things like that. Do the things it takes on the margin. Whitney Reb is describing how this system is being built and it's here, right? It's not coming, it's not in the future, it's here. So now the determination is what kind of policies do we use around it? Maybe we can roll back some of it, but ultimately, just like your own personal economy, just like your own personal success, the responsibility is on you.

SPEAKER_18 1:22:35

Meldon asks, like, Whitney, what is your take on flock cameras? Yes, I think flock cameras are bad. I think they are being misused, but they are one of a constellation, not to overuse that word here. Sorry, but of companies that where they seemingly have innocuous technology. Oh, it's just a license plate reader, oh, it's just a smart streetlight, oh, it's just this and that. And they are web, they they are private companies, but they are totally in bed with the national security apparatus that is quickly going to this predictive paradigm to stop terrorism and crime and all of this stuff before it happens, but it's also as it has historically been, that type of power is weaponized to curb and target dissent.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:19

Right.

SPEAKER_18 1:23:19

And if you're moving to a paradigm where you can target dissent before it happens, uh it that's terrible. We can't let that happen. So I, you know, flock is just one example, but what we're talking about here with the Merlin constellation and satellogic and Palantir is literally what you're worried about with Flock in space. Yeah. So good luck cutting down a you can't cut down, you can't spray expanding foam on those cameras. Yeah. They are in space.

SPEAKER_11 1:23:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_18 1:23:49

So you need, I mean, people need to realize that the surveillance state has expanded so much that this is getting extremely dire. And not only that, but the the the laws on the books, which are not even laws from Congress, right? Because now the executive just can uh make it set policy. And this has also gone on in the same interim recently, you know, ruling by decree, by executive order, and all of that, and and the war on domestic terrorism. DHS was created right after uh 9-11. It's always been the war on terror abroad was always meant to come back and be a war of domestic terror. I have tons of articles and interviews about that if you if you want to know more. And so basically, Satellogic is a key partner, and obviously SpaceX too. Yeah, the they are all doing this together.

SPEAKER_11 1:24:41

Literally in April 2022, the the first edge AI enabled satellite in space was launched by Satellogic and Palantir with assistance from SpaceX's Transport 4. I mean, literally all three of these guys did that.

SPEAKER_18 1:24:57

They're doing it, yes, they're doing it all together. Yeah, and the fact that people act like Elon Musk and Peter Teal care about freedom. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah, get the fuck out of here. Yeah, no, they do not. Yeah, they care about freedom for themselves at your expense, so they can do whatever the fuck they want at your expense. That is the freedom they care about. No, right.

SPEAKER_11 1:25:18

Well, if you have nothing to hide, Whitney, why don't you want satellites looking at you in space?

SPEAKER_18 1:25:23

But again, this is about predictive stuff. So it's like it's about what an algorithm thinks you may do in the future. Right. Or like you were at this place where a crime happened and there was a actual criminal around you. And so, you know, the algorithm is like, oh, people associated with this hotspot could also be criminals. I mean, there's so many things where it's gone wrong and it's totally insane. Um, and I also want to point out, too, that like the resolution of the satellite surveillance is also extremely crazy now. I don't think people have really paid a lot of attention to that um outside of government, obviously.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:57

Or like they can read inscriptions on your buttons. You know what I mean? They're really good. Carlit says, I'm sure those cameras are hard air balloons, not in orbit. Okay. Probably. But at the end of the day, they're still tracking us. Yeah, you know, does Elon Musk have our best interests in mind? Do Palantir? I don't know, man. I don't know. I mean, we can project our virtue onto them, or maybe they are just the warlords of the 22nd century. I don't know, right? All I know is my job is to be hard to stop. That's my job. I'm an activist, I'm a dissident. My job is to be hard to stop. My job is to make sure I have the least amount of things that they can take from me without overwhelming force, right? I don't want to be put in a position where I'm relying on Uber to get everywhere because Uber can ban you. And Lyft can ban you. I don't want to put myself in a position where I'm relying on Venmo because Venmo can close your account. In fact, I'd even go so far as I don't want to be in a position where I have to use a bank because I have been debanked. When you're an activist, that's who the government hates the most. They would much rather you commit a real crime because then there's no problem putting you away. But when you're an activist, they got to find creative ways to steer you, push you, get off the algorithm, use ghost phones, get to Linux devices, don't get real ID, use passports, use Bitcoin. Uh, you know what I mean? There are ways to be hard to stop. The people who listen to this show, I just assume you guys don't go commit real crimes. Right? So if you don't have real crimes that would justify warrants and things like that, you're just a dissident or an activist. Be hard to stop. Be like water, right? Be like water. All right.

Depopulation Fears And Miscarriage Data

SPEAKER_03 1:27:45

Another interesting thing, and this is fallout from the uh 2020 COVID era, is uh one of the big conspiracies that seems to be playing out in real time is that it was a a big part of that was depopulation. If it Was a bioweapon, if it was used as an attack vector, what do you want that to do? You want it to kill people. And what is the phrase that nation states say all the time? Elon Musk echoes it as well. Demographics is destiny. Demographics is destiny. China has a demographic problem. Different kind lots of Western nations have demographic problems, right? And so traditionally, if you didn't have a population, you didn't have a workforce. Even if you considered them slaves, you needed someone to do the labor. But we have the advent of robotics. We heard yesterday, Elon Musk, say there's about two years left before robots can do anything a software person can do. And then pretty much a couple years after that, 10 years, anything a laborer can do. You're being made irrelevant in the marketplace. Fortunately, my existence doesn't depend on the marketplace.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:54

I am, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:28:56

So no matter what, I'm gonna be breathing. You know, come and take my breath if you need to. But that's a come and take it thing. Okay. So if COVID was a bioweapon, what would be the result? Less population in the end. And the best way to do that is to drag it out over time. So nobody can say, here was the Hiroshima. They can say, well, for some reason the birth rate's down. They attack us in our education, they promote abortion, like all these different things. This is an OBGYN talking about in her practice the rate of miscarriages since 2020.

SPEAKER_00 1:29:29

I had been loosely monitoring uh my miscarriage rate in my private practice. And in November of 2021, my biller came to me and said that we had had eight miscarriages that month in a month when we had registered 20 new pregnant patients. So having eight losses in a very small practice in a one-month period of time was very concerning. So that's when I went back and did a deep dive into my data, which I also ultimately sent to Dr. Jessica Rose. And she published that in her Substack in November of 2022. But what I had sent to her was that my miscarriage rate in 2020 during the year of COVID with no vaccination was normal. It was 4% average month to month. We had the most pregnancies uh in first trimester newly registered pregnant patients that year, and we had the most deliveries that fall. Why was that?

SPEAKER_03 1:30:27

Because the lockdowns. It's you know, the power went out COVID later. A lot of babies. Yeah, you gotta find something to do. That's good. You'd think that'd be good, right? More pregnancies registered.

SPEAKER_00 1:30:38

To date, we have not achieved those numbers. 65% of our pregnant population ultimately ended up getting the vaccinations, and 80% of those were Pfizer. And um, my miscarriage rate in 2021 doubled to 8% average month to month. And then in 2022, it doubled again to 15 to 16 percent. And then in early of 2023, my miscarriage rate was 30%. And I've never seen those numbers ever before in my years of practice, which began in 1998. Now, what has happened with all of this? The aftermath. Other issues that increased during pregnancy were hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, such as pre-eclampsia, which ultimately ultimately could lead to preterm delivery. Postpartum hemorrhaging was excessive, and I gave plenty of blood transfusions, many more than I ever did prior to 2021. I had been loose.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:41

Interesting. That chart right there. Look at that. 4% in 2020, 8% in 2021, 15% in 2022, and the trajectory keeps going. And then you have the c the complications and the side effects.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:54

Well, then she claimed the la last year was 30%, and I was like, damn, this is not a side effect anymore.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:02

No, nope, it's the plan. I have a brother-in-law who says you gotta be healthy so that when DARPA comes for you, you can run. There's something to that.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:14

There's something to that. But we can't all be like Jason Bourne, you know.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:20

It is it is uh interesting, right? And uh it's done. It's been done. All you can do is run from the needle from this point forward, right? Obviously, RFK is doing what he can. These institutions are captured, uh they just you have thousands of employees in many of them, they don't just change overnight. Slowly but surely over time, as the communists called it, the long march through the institutions. They took over these institutions. So even every four years, when we get a new cabinet secretary, a lot of times they're fighting you know, uh an upswell of a different agenda.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:53

You know how sometimes you feel like uh or you have a recognition moment where you're like, oh, I'm old, you know. Uh-huh. You see uh a t-shirt that says um I just forgot what I was gonna say. Just a second, let me collect my thought.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:11

All right, well, while you're doing that, Carlitz just pointed out that Bitcoin just hit $80,000. Woo-hoo! Whoa. Yeah, that's awesome. All

Bitcoin Reserve Self Custody And Regulation

SPEAKER_03 1:33:19

right. Speaking of Bitcoin, because it is the great solution. Fix the money, fix the world. Incentives matter. Trump is fixing a lot of the fiat incentives of tariffs and da da da da. But at the end of the day, you have to be sovereign on your money. Just like I said, if you don't want to get to banked, don't keep your money in the bank, right? Bitcoin is a solution. This is Coinbase CEO talking about the strategic Bitcoin reserve as well as other strategic reserves that have been created and how significant this is.

SPEAKER_21 1:33:44

Yeah, well, the President Trump passed this executive order creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve and then a uh crypto asset stockpile to hold some of these other ones as well. A lot of people don't know, but you know, the U.S. actually holds strategic reserves of a number of different assets. So gold is probably the most famous one, but there's a bunch of other ones that they hold, like, you know, there's an oil, a strategic reserve, there's like palladium. I think there's a bunch of like rare minerals. And so it's kind of a historic step where the United States government is saying, actually, we think Bitcoin is another strategic asset which should be held by the U.S. government. This would have been unthinkable, by the way, like five years ago, where the government was so skeptical of it. And now like the United States government is is holding us a stockpile of these of these Bitcoin assets. So that was a huge moment. Um it kind of I by the way, that now that the US is doing this, I think the rest of the G20 countries and central banks are all starting to look at this. It just kind of instantly legitimized it. And you know, President Trump to his credit, he's he said he wants to be the first crypto president in the United States and certainly in the world. Like he's all in on this. He's like, America has to lead here. This is a technology to update the financial system and and become a financial center of the world, which is important for American power. So he's kind of gone all in on it. I think the rest of the G20 are now looking at this as a model to follow. Nice work, but it ends?

SPEAKER_05 1:35:09

Yep, just right on time. Perfect. So what I was thinking was if you saw a t-shirt that said something like, um food is medicine, or something like that, I was I get to thinking like, am I just getting old because I start to you know identify with that, or am I just getting smarter?

SPEAKER_03 1:35:30

You know, probably a little both.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:38

As it relates to like, you know, drugs and vaccinations and stuff like that. I just start to think in my older age, like, just eat good, just just live good.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:47

It all starts there. Yeah. Uh Mark and significant other is constantly telling me that you drank too much diet soda. I'm like, oh, we all get our vices, right? Uh Tomaste put a uh rocket ship. Bitcoin to I'm looking at the chart here for Bitcoin. Yeah, it is like straight up right now.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:04

Nice, pretty awesome.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:05

Woo-hoo, it's up uh 4.95% this morning.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:09

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:10

So let's see. Uh yeah, in the last couple hours, it's gone up. Bitcoin shoots. Okay, this is River. One of the uh Brian Armstrong is Dr. Evil of Crypto. One of these days he's going to put his pinky finger up to his mouth and say, Bitcoin. He's king shit coiner. All right. However, in Washington State, Coinbase is, to my knowledge, the only exchange that will give you a debit card that will sell Bitcoin when you swipe it. And that's the devil you dance with. All right. This is what could happen if a fraction of investors follow Wall Street's Bitcoin recommendations. So Fidelity, Leshwab, BlackRock, all these Wall Street companies are now advising their clients to do somewhere between one and two to seven percent of their asset holdings in Bitcoin. As a diversification strategy. It's a diversification strategy. It'll be the only performing thing in your portfolio here soon enough, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:37:03

It'll outform the full rest of it. Huh? It'll outperform the whole rest of it.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:08

It's so funny when people are like, yeah, I diversified into Bitcoin when it was like at $900, you know, the rest of my stock portfolio, I bought and sold and bought and sold, and Bitcoin kicked its ass, right? Yeah. All right. So this is the 2029 to 2031 prediction, uh, Bitcoin price implications. This is based on market cap, right? So at the low end, if the market cap continues, if all the investment advisors, if your Charles Schwab investment advisor, your little local investment advisor that starts his little franchise, you come in and sit down. I got $15,000 in an IRA, what do I do with it? And he says put three, 4% in Bitcoin, that gets you to a $5.5 trillion market cap by in the 2029 to 2031 period. If you invest a little bit on the higher end, it's 17.5 trillion market cap. That puts the price of Bitcoin somewhere around $250,000 per Bitcoin to $840,000. Right now the price sits at $80,697. That's not that far away. That's one prison sentence from now. That's one prison sentence from now. Uh diversification is a losing strategy. Yeah, it is interesting when people are like, don't put your money in all in one basket. Um, but it's money, right? Like it's money. Uh we're not Bitcoin is not tech stock, but it's about video. It's money. Yeah. This isn't diversification. This is money. Okay. It's actually money that gets you something in return. So that's a huge, huge uh future here. Now, see uh see SEC chairman Paul Atkins gave an update. Uh, this is just a couple days ago on the Clarity Act, which is scheduled for a vote on the 15th.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:45

Well, so our regulation crypto assets that we're calling it, that we've proposed, is our most historic step yet to try to bring reality to uh the president's call to make the United States the crypto capital of the world. So the Clarity Act, as you noted, is uh will be voted on uh in the Senate uh on the 15th of September. So we're waiting for that. And uh, you know, I I anticipate and hope that it will be uh um uh passed uh by the Senate uh and sent ultimately to the president's desk for a signature. And so our proposal is consonant with what uh is in that the statute, and so we are going out with this for proposals so that we can collect comment and be ready to uh uh to march forward with uh rules that are adopted and consonant with the statute. So and and to do that, we have exemptions there as the statute um has for uh fundraising uh for and and time limits and things like that for some of these exemptions. So I think this is an important step to try to reshore, to bring back onto the United States shore uh innovators whom we have over the past uh administration's uh four-year term chased offshore, frankly, for them to develop their products and raise money abroad. And we can't fool ourselves. American investors in the age of the internet can send their money anywhere. So we need to make sure that they can do it here in the United States under United States laws.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:15

But it's and that that right there. I people are torn over this topic of the Clarity Act because a lot of people call it a tracking bill. Okay, you can already track digital assets, like that's that's already can happen. So if you commit a crime, it they don't need the clarity act to track you. You know what I mean? Like they just present it to a grand jury. Look, this guy did a bad thing, use Bitcoin, use Ethereum, whatever. Right, it's right there. So that's kind of in my mind, kind of a take. It's just obvious. The Clarity Act doesn't really touch Bitcoin, but it does do one significant thing, and I must I'm fairly certain this is left in there. It preserves the right of the American people to for self-custody. Good. That's that's a big deal, right? That that is gold and silver, right? For self-custody. So that's one thing. But the other thing is it's going to drive institutions in right now. Banks, you know, until the recent uh clarification of the Genius Act rules and things like that, banks weren't custodying this stuff. They weren't holding it. In fact, if they held it, it was considered a risk-on asset and they had to hold cash reserves a thousand percent of what they were holding. So if your local bank wanted to hold one Bitcoin, they had to have six hundred thousand dollars or eight hundred thousand dollars in reserves. That doesn't make any sense at all. It's gonna reverse that. Now Bitcoin will be like gold where now they can fiat off of it. Okay. So it's a it's a really significant thing, and it's gonna drive the price higher. At minimum, there's gonna be a bump. Okay, but it's gonna drive the institutions in. The fact that there's a strategic reserve, the G20 nations are all looking at it, right? Guys, this is I have been criticized. I have been criticized as being kind of of the attitude, go get yours, right? Like take care of yourself, go get yours. And uh, it's a fair criticism. I'm kind of of the Ayn Rand school of thought. I don't want to cannibalize myself on the behalf of the amorphous other. I will cannibalize myself for my family, I will cannibalize myself for my friends, but I won't uh cannibalize myself for the blue-haired freak who hates America who's never paid in a dime. Right. So I do have that attitude. You have to take care of yourself. If you don't take care of yourself, eventually you can't take care of your family, you can't take care of your community, you can't take care of the people in your church that need help because you become reliant on the state just like everyone else. And now we're all slaves. Right. When Bernie Sanders said bread lines aren't a bad thing because everybody's eating. Go get some Bitcoin. It's an asymmetrical bet, ladies and gentlemen. It's an asymmetrical bet. All right.

Corruption Fatigue And Accountability

SPEAKER_03 1:43:06

Another thing we're gonna leave on a little bit of a of a dour note just to show you how far we have fallen.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:11

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:12

Uh findings of misconduct by then assistant United States attorney for solicitation of a prostitute. Uh the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General OIG initiated an investigation after receiving information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, alleging that an a United States assistant United States attorney has engaged in prostitution. The OIG conducted this investigation jointly with the FBI. What is an assistant United States attorney? These are your line prosecutors. These are the people that like I was prosecuted by an assistant United States attorney. Okay. These people prosecute federal crimes. The OIG investigation substantiated the allegation. The ASUSA has engaged in violation of federal regulations regarding public service and restrictions on conduct in violation of Department of Justice policy. The AUSA resigned from the elective executive office for the United States attorney. And then it goes on to say, but criminal prosecution was declined. It's one big club, folks, and we ain't in it. So yeah, go get your go get yours, go get some Bitcoin. As always, the link for a river is in the show description. If you want to go and open an account, please use the link. Create a path between you and Bitcoin. River is not the end destination. The end destination is self-custody, but river is where you can buy it, right? So take advantage of that. All right,

Well, I can't just call him Matt. I didn't know you were calling Dennis. I did say something about the old woman. How did you get that? Hanging on to our data imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there's ever gonna be any progress. How do you do, good lady? Um king of the Britons. Whose castle is that? The Britons. We all are. We are all Britons. And I am your king. No, we are the king. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship. Stop perpetuating autocracy in which the working class is. These good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle? Who lives in that castle? 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 the 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. In the country, you should be quack. The lady of the lake. Hilda Loft Excalibur from the bottom of the water. Signifying problems. That is what I'm talking. Listen, strange women, not an imposed distributive thought is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some philosophy or aquatic families. You can't expect a world supreme executive power. Just because some watery power authority. Just because some moisture.
