the cartels by missile, That's what seems to have happened
in the Caribbean after a ship leaving Venezuela, a go
(00:33):
fast boat with drugs in it was blown up by
what seems to be a missile strike. And now the
Trump administration is not only discussing what happened, but saying
it's the beginning of a whole change in policy. Look,
I watched it live.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We knew exactly who was in that boat, We knew
exactly what they were doing, and we knew exactly who
they represented, and that was Trendea Ragway, a narco terrorist
organization designated by the United States trying to poison our
country with illicit drugs. Last year under the Biden administration,
all four years, one hundred thousand Americans died from drug
related from drugs, from the use of drugs, many of
(01:13):
which poured in from Central and South America through our
southwest border.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Now we're stealing the border.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But President Trump is willing to go on offense in
ways that others have not been.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
There are some things to work out here. First of all,
the narco terrorist designation is something that shouldn't just be words.
It shouldn't just be something that goes through some bureaucratic
system to go then be talking points for the Treasury
Department or the State Department that they're doing something. There
(01:43):
should be consequences to being labeled the narco trafficker. Now
I understand arrest seizure of funds, but that hasn't been
enough to stop the narco trafficking rings that continue to
bring large amounts of drugs into our country and kill
a lot of Americans in the process. Remember, it's not
just the drug overdoses, although that's the number that we
(02:07):
most understandably focus on talk about the casualties from the
War on drugs on our side, it's also the societal
decay and the criminality that builds around these different drug activities.
So drug gangs in Chicago, for example, when people talk
about gang activity, what are gangs involved in? Usually drugs,
(02:31):
maybe selling guns, but selling drugs, drug wars for turf
and that leads to a lot of the homicides, right,
because how do they fund themselves, how do they get money,
and how do they try to get more clout on
the street. They're selling illegal drugs and this has been
the case for as long as any of us have
been alive. So this is what's going on, and the
(02:51):
Trump administration has said this is not going to continue
the way that it has been in the past. You know,
we used to talk about a war on drugs in
a rhetorical sense under the Reagan administration. But then I
know that there were dea efforts and paramilitary stuff going on.
But when you're now just going to blow up designated
(03:12):
narco traffickers as a military target, which is what just happened,
this is a dramatic escalation. We've never seen anything quite
like this before, and I think you're going to see
a lot more in the military takes on the cartel realm.
I've been told this for a while by the Trump
White House. This is going to be happening, that they
(03:34):
are going to essentially take the counter terrorism apparatus and
use it as a counter narcotics apparatus. So think of
it this way. The federal agencies, the technology, the infrastructure,
the personnel that they have used in the past to
go after al Qaeda is now going to be used
to go after the Maduro cartel. Mduro is actually a
(03:57):
designated head of a drug cartel. It's important remember that
the head of Venezuela is a designated drug cartel leader,
and he's making probably billions of dollars off of illegal
drug sales in the United States and has to distribute
that among his cronies and others at some level. But
he's making a lot of money, and he's a very bad,
very dangerous guy. So when we talk about what can
(04:20):
be done here, let's understand what has been done in
the past. Fails does not stop the importation of these
illegal drugs into the country in tremendous quantity. And something
now is very different from the Trump administration approach kinetic
strikes as they used to say in the old counter
terrorism days, missiles, warheads on foreheads. This is the era
(04:45):
we are entering of the actual war on drugs. And
now you have the Mexican cartels to think about as well.
I think for a lot of US try Aragua and
ships off of Venezuela. That's one thing. The Mexican drug cartels.
We've seen the extreme First of all, they're right up
against the United States, up against their border. We've seen
(05:06):
the extreme violence that they are capable of on their
side of the border. You go back to two thousand
and ten roughly and eleven twelve, what was going on
in Juarez. It was al Qaeda level sadistic violence from
the cartels. And they've had many years now of getting
rich not just on the illegal importation of illegal selling
(05:27):
of drugs, also the human trafficking component. They've made a
ton of money bringing illegals into this country because they
control that smuggling operation as well. So they're incredibly well funded,
and we may go after them and find that this
starts to look a lot more like a major paramilitary operation,
(05:48):
something along the lines of what we saw in the
War on Terror. Not with one hundred thousand US troops
in Mexico obviously, but drone strikes, special operations personnel. This
could be happening. The fact that the Trump administration is
willing to blow a speedboat with I think I think
eleven people in it, just blow it up, that means
that they're taking a whole new view view of what
(06:11):
is permissible in this war and what's going on here,
so it's now our sponsor, Paradigm Press. It's not unusual
for new tech companies to find their fifteen minutes of fame.
Remember that open source AI model developed in Asia. We
talked about this a while back. Everybody's talking about it.
They showed up strong, a company based in China with
AI technology that rivaled a well known AI chatbot and
(06:33):
others for attention, app downloads and more. Just their presence
was enough to make everyone think that maybe other AI
entities were spending too much money when they could do
it for just a few million bucks. The presence of
this temporarily wiped out a trillion dollars in market value.
A China based energy with AI technology not a good
combo in US soil served as a reminder to all
(06:53):
of us of how important it is to develop AI
technology in America. And the Trump administration agrees. Guess what
they're working on something I call the Manhattan Project too.
To take back our lead in the AI race, I
break it all down at a brand new interview, including
the companies that I believe could soar when this comes about.
This interview and all the details online on a new website.
We're taking this one off air so to speak, off
(07:14):
air twenty five dot com. That's off air twenty five
dot com paid for by Paradigm Press. Now, uh, I
actually want to talk to you a little bit about
what's going on with the Chris Martin of what's that
(07:35):
band called Coldplay? Situation. Here, just take a little little
diversion for a minute. This guy brings some Israelis up
on stage and he says, oh, well, here's what he said.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Where did you come from today? From Israel? Okay, well, well, okay,
well listen, I'm gonna say this. I'm very grateful that
you're here as stubens, and I'm treating you as cool Cuba.
So no, regardless of why you come for, don't thank
you for being here with great fun, thank you for
being loved it. Fine, well, don't put your versal babe,
(08:10):
the people in the audience for Palestine because we have.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, oh, I'm gonna treat you like humans. And hey,
everybody in the audience, let's talk about Palestine here for
a minute. Hey, Palestinians in the audience. He thinks he's
being a good guy. Actually, what's funny here is he
thinks and he's not a very smart guy. You know,
he'd say he's a good songwriter, I got a nice
voice or whatever. He's a very limited understanding of politics
(08:42):
the world in reality. But this just goes to show you.
I don't think that Chris Martin of Coldplay would do
this to any other nationality in the world. I don't
think he would do it to Russians. I don't think
you do it to North Koreans. I don't think he
would feel the need to say, well, clearly you're a
bad You're from like the bad people place, which is
(09:03):
in this case Israel, and I want to tell all
the people that you're oppressing, in this case Palestine, that
I'm with them too, but I'll treat you like a human.
This goes to the brain rot around the issue of
Israel and Palestine, and that so many people would think
just their gut instinct is that there is a need,
(09:26):
they have a need to express to everybody that they
have a problem with Israel and that they are on
the side ultimately of the Palestinians than all this and
it shouldn't have to be this way. It should not
have to be this situation. But the media in a
(09:47):
lot of cases is caught up in this victim ideology
and this victim narrative of the Palestinians as the innocent
victims of this whole situation. Even more so, you know,
there's more animosity for somebody like this lead singer of Coldplay.
(10:09):
There's more animal toward Israel than there is toward Russia.
Think about that. That's the gut instinct of a doctrinaire.
Makes it sound too fancy of a superficial surface level
lib leftist today is yeah, i have to side with
Palestine over Israel. And I'm more angry at Israel than
I even am at Russia when it comes to Ukraine.
(10:31):
So you see this on display, and it's indicative of
a mindset with a lot of these people who go
around saying they care so much about about Palestine. As
has been pointed out many times, if the people in Palestine,
or rather in Gaza, not in Palestine, that the people
(10:53):
in Gaza were, if the whole plan was to kill
them all, why haven't the Israelis killed them all because
they could do it. If it was starvation, why are
the Israelis providing them food? Because they're providing them food.
This is really when you think through this you can
find very quickly that there are lies being told. Our
(11:13):
sponsor here is Preborn. Look. We want to save lives
from abortion every day in this country. And for our
friends working at the Preborn Network of Clinics, they're doing that.
They're actually on the frontline saving lives from abortion. Thousands
and thousands of women across the country right now are
thinking about what should I do. I have an unplanned pregnancy.
I'm in a crisis moment. Should I have an abortion
(11:36):
or should I have my child? Preborn offers these women
love support and an ultrasound. Just come in, meet your
baby and let's talk. Preborn is an incredible organization saving
so many lives in this way. They've saved three hundred
and fifty thousand babies, so this life giving work to date,
and so many mothers have an entirely new outlook and
loving their heart because of Preborn being there for them
(11:59):
and helping them make the right choice, the choice for life.
Your support monthly to Preborn is critical. For twenty eight
dollars a month, every month you could be sponsoring an
ultrasound and helping to save a tiny baby's life currently
in the womb. Helped it get out there into the world.
Dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby. That's
pound two five zero, say the word baby. Or go
(12:21):
to preborn dot com slash buck that's preborn dot com
slash b U c K sponsored by Preborn and that
now you've got. Malcolm Gladwell has come out and said
that he was a coward on the trans issue, and
he takes some ownership of that, some responsibility for that.
He's a very rich, very famous guy, probably the most
(12:43):
financially successful pop pop journalist I guess you'd say of
his generation, and he wouldn't tell the truth on the
trans thing in sports and sports specifically. Now this is
interesting to me because I'm seeing people say Woke is dead.
I see this online. Woke is not dead. Woke is
(13:06):
the ultimate zombie ideology because it was never about a
good art. It's just about power. So I want to
remind everybody who is maybe a little too a little
too final, and a little too triumphant in their view
of this, that Woke can make a comeback. These arguments,
(13:28):
this ideology that pushed this was rooted in raw power,
emotional blackmail, and inability to get people to go against
what they knew to be publicly true in order to
really debase them and debase their intellect. Right, Because once,
as I've said so many times, once you get people
(13:50):
to lie about the most obvious things, you can get
people lie about all the things. And that there are
now public figures who will come forward and say that
they were unwilling to speak the truth on this, I
think tells you a lot about how powerful the apparatus was,
how powerful the system was that was pushing along these lines.
And it is unrepent and the people who truly believe
(14:13):
this stuff, to the degree that any of us can
tell what that number is or what that percentage would be,
the people who truly believe this stuff, they still believe
it because it was never rooted in what is true.
It was rooted in what they want to feel and
how they want to position themselves vis a vis others,
and that has not changed. So Woke is in recession.
(14:37):
Woke is in retreat. But I do not believe woke
is dead. And if it is dead, it's a zombie ideology.
It's gonna wake from the grave and try to bite
us just to question a when So, do not lose
your vigilance do not lose your sense of this is
something we may have to deal with again in the
(14:57):
not too distant future. We're not gonna have Trump, who's
an incredible brawler against this stuff, forever leading the movement.
You know, you, things can change in a hurry. Trump's
only got one more term here, and then there's gonna
an election. And I'm telling you, if Democrats find a
way to get back into power, they will try to
force this crazy ideological stuff on us once again. All right,
(15:20):
there's one statistic that no one's happy to hear about,
but you need to know. Home invasions happen nationwide every
thirty seconds or so. No matter what the number of
home security systems installed is, it's happening far too often.
This is why it makes sense to protect yourself. There's
a company by the name of Saber. Sabre does a
great job of manufacturing non lethal weapons and devices to
protect you and your family. Saber products have safeguarded hundreds
(15:42):
of thousands of people. Sabers, pepper sprays, pepper gels, and
projectile devices are all proudly made here in the USA.
They're they're make a big impact, and they're empowered to
use their projectile devices and the shape of a rifle
or pistol are recommended by many law enforcement professionals. Go
