Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Michael, This is Roy K. Mercer and Kimmy Wallas
at Tempa and Timmy was talking about being able to
kick our butts, our conservative butts. I'm dead and I
still know I could take him that Twin Cities, little Sissy.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm dead and I can still take you. God rest.
Roy D.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Mercer, Jury, North Dakota. This is actually pretty big news
has ruled that green Peace, the extreme environmental activist group,
must pay more than six hundred and fifty dollars in
damages for defamation and other claims that were related to
(00:44):
the protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline. The company
Energy Transfer in its subsidiary, Dakota Access they filed the lawsuit,
and they accused Greenpeace International and all their branches in
the United States of defamation, trespass, civil conspiracy, and a
bunch of other offenses. They're based out of Dallas, Texas.
(01:06):
They claim that the protests obviously the Jerry agreed that
the protests caused a significant disruption and asserted that green
Peace funded and trained the protesters who engaged in unlawful
activities against the pipeline's construction. Now that all stems from
those protests held back in twenty sixteen, in twenty seventeen.
(01:32):
Checks calendar, Yes, it's twenty twenty five. Justice takes a
long time sometimes in this country. Those protests, anyway, targeted
the pipeline's passage upstream of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribes reservation,
and the tribe is obviously long opposed the pipeline. They
cited supposed but unproven threats to their water supply. It's
(01:53):
been operational since mid twenty seventeen, transporting oil across multiple states.
Now this is a huge blow, in my opinion, to Greenpeace,
which is known worldwide for its obviously controversial protests all
the name of this, you know, the environmental by clothes
in the church of the climate activists. As of I
think twenty twenty three, I didn't make a note of
(02:14):
the dating. I think it was twenty twenty three. The
group's revenue was about forty million dollars. They've got just
under two hundred employees, so probably m the Code of
Access may not receive a lot of money because they'll
probably end up in bankruptcy court, probably end up doing.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
A Chapter seven.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
But there's something else about this case that is kind
of important and that is, don't forget that there are
other organizations. There are other places that are kind of
doing the same thing. Robbie Starbuck somebody else that I
(03:03):
follow over on X posted this a poster for this
Saturday RSVP Now join us this weekend, Saturday, March twenty two,
one pm Central daylight time TESLA takedown in Nashville and Franklin, Tennessee.
(03:26):
It's volunteer organized and then you can click on the
little poster and you can get all the details. So
what is this? This is part of an organized progressive
group protesting TESLA at their stores, at their dealerships, put
(03:50):
together by a group called Indivisible, George Soros's foundation.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I think it's Open society and maybe one of the
other ones has given Indivisible nearly eight million dollars for
their activism. And remember they're calling these a TESLA takedown,
which I assume that means they're probably going to engage
in some sort of violent activity. But even if they
don't do any violent activity, specifically at one pm Central
(04:22):
daylight time, what are they really trying to do? They're
not yes, do they want people to show up at
one o'clock Central Time in Nashville and Franklin at Tesla dealerships. Yes,
but what they really do is they want you to
RSVP because if you r SVP, they now have your name,
(04:45):
email address, probably your mobile number, and now they've got
a name that they could reach out to. And you know,
kind of like the FBI does trying to kidnap Gretchen Whipmer,
they could try to entrap you or try to convince
you to feces like, you know, don't take a pooh
that day, Wait until you get you know, wait until
the protest is over, and then show up later in
(05:07):
the evening and spread pool on some of the teslas,
or you know, be sure and bring your pen knife
or bring your car keys, whatever you might need so
you can scratch, you know, swastikas on the cyber trucks.
So if Dakota Access can sue Green Peas for inciting,
(05:31):
for engaging in defamation, inciting the violence, inciting the protests,
organizing the protests, and they can end up paying hmmm,
six hundred and fifty million dollars plus in damages.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Why don't we go after George Soros?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Why don't we go after them and see how much
money we could get from George Soros. Pam BONDI might
be something you want to look into.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Just saying.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
A a survival manual, well go Young conclusions.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
The French.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
The French government is probably going to distribute to every
single household in France a twenty page booklet. In fact,
some stories say not just every household, but to every citizen.
They want to complete this project by the end of summer.
(06:32):
The manual is intended to help French citizens prepare for
imminent threats, including armed conflict within the French borders. French
Prime Minister of Francois Bu says in an interview, the
Survival Manual aims to encourage citizens to develop their resilience
(06:53):
in the face of different crises.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
This includes natural.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Disasters, technological and cyber incidents, health crises like COVID nineteen,
and security crises like terrorist attacks and armed conflict. Now
let's go back a few years. In twenty twenty two,
the French government launched this website, providing instructions on how
to prepare for an emergency situation. FEMA has something similar.
(07:19):
We've got ready, dot gov, we got you know DHS.
Oh ever, might be ready, but The manual is believed
to feature content similar to that that the French government
provides online, including strategies to protect your family from immediate threats,
you know, giving you all the critical radio channels, and
how best to contribute to local reserve defense units. But notably,
(07:41):
one section of the booklet will deal with what individuals
should do in the case of a nuclear attack. Now,
the Prime Minister's office insists that the first step in
citizen engagement is to be informed about threats and stay updated. Okay,
don't I don't disagree with that. Engagement can also mean
joining associations such as the reserve forces. Now, why is
(08:07):
that interesting? Because Manuel and Macron. Emmanuel Macron, the president
of France, announced at the start of March, just a
couple of weeks ago, that the country aims to expand
the number of military reserves to one hundred thousand over
the next decade, from the current total of forty thousand.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Now, France isn't the only one. Both Finland and.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Sweden have recently distributed similar booklets with instructions on how
to handle extreme weather events, oh the climate change, military conflicts,
power outages, and just any other emergency situations might the
French and the Fans and the Swedes suddenly realize, wait
(08:49):
a minute, the EU is talking about even NATO's talking
about posts cease fire. We might want to put boots
on the ground, and they're worried about having or not
having an American backstop. Who's going to help us if
we put boots on the ground and things go to feces.
(09:13):
So now they are getting ready for nuclear warfare. And
there's one thing that's missing out of the entire story,
and that is the uprisings, the crime that continues to
to occur in all of these countries from all the
(09:34):
flow of migrants, all the flow of illegal aliens moving
into all of these countries from third world craphole countries.
Are they expecting suddenly that there's going to be all
sorts of.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Pushback?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Are they preparing citizens that, hm, you know, if this
gets out of control and we're not doing enough to
control it ourselves, you may We're not telling you, we're
just showing you how to defend yourself. Of course, they
don't have guns, so I don't know what they're going
to do about that. Highly of Florida, I've been to
(10:14):
Highly of Florida. They had a city council meeting. Now,
highlia is predominantly Hispanic, So the city council meeting, three
people voiced opposition to a partnership with the Feds to
deport illegal aliens. Now, seventy five percent of the population
(10:36):
is FOREI born, and according to poll numbers, dear E,
I sight another pole number, I get people pissed off
at me. Uh, seventy five percent of the population, which
is foreign born, agree with Trump's tougher immigration policies. Now
why is that important? Because that is a subset of
a wider nationwide growing support for Trump and his immigration
(11:01):
policies among Hispanic voters, who obviously shifted right in the
twenty twenty four election. Now, I think the change is
seen as being motivated by perceptions that stricter border controls
are absolutely necessary, and then they see the results of them,
and they see that, oh, encounters go from seventy five thousand,
(11:26):
you know, a couple of years ago on a single
day to one encounter on a single day this month.
So in the broader political landscape, Trump's and I think
this is true of many states. Trump's appeal in Florida
has been bullied by his stance on opposing socialist regimes,
(11:46):
attracting support from communities that fled those socialist regimes, those
communist regimes, and that means and I think that's why
in twenty twenty four, back of November five, Trump succeeded
in winning Miami Day County and they made games in
areas that had huge Hispanic populations Seminole County and others.
(12:09):
So Hispanics are now showing substantial support for mass deportations
of illegals. There was a poll published last year that
around forty percent of Latinos supported deporting all illegal aliens
from the United States. Almost fifty percent supported building a
border wall between the US and Mexico. And yet at
(12:32):
the same time we've got all of these And I
think this is why we need to understand who's in
charge of the Democrat Party. Why do you think Bernie
Sanders and alexandri At Cossi Cortes are coming to Colorado
this Friday tomorrow because they're positioning themselves to be the
(12:55):
head of the Democrat Party. You got it, You got it,
two socialists. You got an old fart and a young woman.
What better way to have two co chairs of the
Democrat National Committee than those two socialists. Somebody asked me
or in an email or a text message about whether
(13:16):
or not Schumer, you know, this should be the death
of Schumer's appearance on the view should be the death
nail for Schumer's political career. I responded, I think that
it is. It's just not going to happen immediately. But
the Democrats, based on all of this information that they see,
they see the same information that I see. In fact,
(13:36):
they probably see it. They have their own internal polling.
It's probably even worse about the public polling is. And
yet what are they doing. They're doing every single thing
that is the opposite of what traditional Democrat constituents say
that they want, which leads me to question, were those
(13:57):
Democrat constituents really saying what the Democrat Party, the Democrat apparatus,
the cabal, if you will, was telling us that they
were saying Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, gays, whatever subgroup you want
to put into the into the mix. I think they're
(14:19):
all supporting what's going on, because when you look at
these polls, turns out there may be more to it
than meets the eye.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Jd.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Vance is in the news and not just because did
you hear about Elon Musk in an interview, saying that
every time he sees the portrait of JD. Vance as
Vice President while he's in the West wing, he stops
and says a quick prayer, thank you God for that.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Oh that drove that drove the left nut.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Well, the Vice President is arguing that importing cheap foreign
labor through all this mass illegal immigration has led to
declining productivity and economic stagnation. In the way. He was
talking to a summit of venture capitalists. He was hosted
by Andresy Horowitz. This occurred Tuesday. The Vice President said
(15:10):
that the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom are
quote addicted to cheap labor and that has fueled more
than forty years of economic policy failures. He said, and
I quote, I'd say that if you look in nearly
every country from Canada to the UK that imported large
amounts of cheap labor, you've seen productivity stagnate. That's not
(15:35):
a total happenstance. I think the connection is very direct.
So he's continuing contending that these high levels of immigration,
illegal immigration in Britain and the US have caused both
of the country's workforces and their innovators to become lazy,
leading to plummeting productivity. Sarah O'Connell O'Connor tweeted, do British
(16:01):
teams shun the idea of doing useful jobs like doctors. No,
Almost thirty thousand people applied to study medicine last year.
Remember that's been rising, but the government capped the number
of places for citizens. That's seventy five the cool till
they want foreigners not actual bricks.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
I'm so glad I changed my batteries and my smoke alarms.
I hear no more chirping during the day when I
have the radio on. It's really cool. So remember everybody,
change your batteries in your smoke alarms.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Don't you ever say that I'm passive aggressive. Don't you
ever say that I'm in ahole.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
My birthday is mid April, so I typically, you know,
change my smoke detector batteries mid to late April.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Mid to late April.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Yeah, it's around my birthday.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, okay, all right? Do I have your birthday on
my calendar? I don't care.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Well good, If you don't care, then I don't care.
I'm not going to look at them. Have you heard
of the United States Institute of Peace. I would tell
you about it, except I have to log back into
my piece of crap computer that never stays logged in.
Despite oh, we have a corporate policy that says, you know,
(17:29):
once you log in a six I tried to do
it after six am because apparently the corporate policy is
that once you log in after six am, it will
stay logged in. But if you log in before five,
you know, before six am, it just kicks you out randomly.
But I would never bitch about something like that. I
(17:50):
would never complain about something.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Else work that doesn't work.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Yeah, not on the air, at least.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Not on the air. I would never do it on air.
You're a professional.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I'm a total professional. I would never bitch about anything
that this company does that's stupid on air. I would
never do that. That's why I'm a member of the
United States Institute of Peace, because I believe in peace.
Yet the USIP, the United States Institute of Peace, is
(18:18):
just another example of one of these deep state organizations
that was created by Congress that's evolved beyond its intended function.
As I like to point out, it's like a metastatic cancer,
and it's just.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Grown and grown and grown.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Now, the very idea that you would have a taxpayer
funded institution that would dictate form policy that would be
outside the control of the executive branch, specifically outside the
control of the President of the United States, might seem,
I don't know, absurd to you. It certainly seems absurd
(18:57):
to me. Well, it's in the news, and it's in
the news because apparently the President of the United States
does not control the agency that is engaged in a
global regime building and the workers don't know how to
organize a sit in or a lockout or whatever they
(19:20):
wanted to call it quietly without Doze finding out about it.
Sometimes bureaucrats are just stupid. For decades, the US Institute
of Peace, Oh, just makes you feel good, doesn't it.
Anytime there's a government program that makes you feel good,
(19:40):
it must you know that it's wasting your money. And
it's bipartisan. It's bipartisan, and it's been quietly steering all
sorts of foreign policy initiatives without any public scrutiny. In fact,
I honestly believe unless you've heard this story, report, report
in the news when they decided to, you know, refuse
(20:03):
to leave the building. You had never heard of it
before that, So who says the policies of this organization?
What accountability is there?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Now? Congress might have formed this organization.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
But I death that most members of Congress even know
about it, let alone have ever exercised any real oversight,
knows how it operates, knows what it does, or anything else.
It is obviously an affront to the concept of a
separation of powers. The idea that the legislative branch should
(20:40):
have its own de facto foreign policy operation, which is
separate and untouchable by the executive is beyond any concept
or constitutionality in my opinion. And then when you look
into the history it produces and distributes manuals, manuals that
are designed to teach activists how.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
To subvert and overthrow governments.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
It's kind of like the Congress has its own little
CIA to go out and do covert operations. Except some
of these materials about how to do subversive activities surface
during Occupy Wall Street, the Black Lives Matter, and the
(21:25):
Antifa riots, and are now being discovered during the pro
Palestinian anti Semitic campus takeovers and you're fitting the bill.
You're fitting the bill for an organization that actively undermines
US foreign policy interests, both abroad and domestically. Now, the
(21:45):
Democrats are going to argue that bill he was designed
to function outside presidential control. It was meant to be
an independent entity that was going to go out and
promote global peace. Why should we have any independence entity
that operates outside the control or over the control of
(22:05):
the executive Because this is not a congressional committee, This
is not a congressional commission. This is a separate deep
state entity. There is no justification for a government funded
body engaging in foreign influenced campaigns, or, for that matter,
(22:29):
tactical subversions without some sort demnimous oversight from the president,
from the executive branch. Now, I think this case is
going to be a critical test case for the Supreme
Court in addressing the unchecked proliferation of independent agencies. The
(22:52):
Court's going to have to decide does Congress have the
authority to create an organization that functions independently of presidential authority,
particularly in matters of foreign policy.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I don't think so. So what happened.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Friday, Three federal employees arrived at the USIP the Institute
for Peace headquarters in d C. Do you know what
the building costs to build? One hundred and eighty six
million dollars? Now, I know office rent in DC is expensive,
But you could have gone to Virginia Hell's Bells. You
(23:30):
could have gone to Colorado, got it, got had gone
to Florida, maybe avoid property taxes. Yeah, you could have
gone almost anywhere. Two of these employees were affiliated with
the state Department. They had been assigned to USAID. The
third was from uh OH, the Department of Government Efficiency.
Now they had a purpose assert rightful government oversight over
(23:56):
a federally funded institution. They were marching in to look
at the books, see who was there, who was working,
what their jobs are, what they're doing. They were denied entry.
Wait a minute, denied entry by the US Marshall Service,
a government police force.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
No. Denied entry by the US Secret Service.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
No.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Denied entry by the Federal Protective Service, another government police force. No,
they were denied entry by the US Institute for Pieces
private security force. Now I want you to think about that,
a privately contracted security team guarding what is supposed to
(24:45):
be a US government facility that ought to immediately raise
questions with the Attorney General, the State Department, and the
Defense departments. Why does the government funded entity require private
armed security to prevent access to the government officials into
a government building? What are they protecting? So the Trump
(25:07):
team acted immediately. The White House fired eleven members of
the board for failing to comply with an executive voter
aimed at restoring federal oversight. So that left three remaining
board members. I love this up, Marco Rubio, Secretary of
State Pete Hegsath, the Secretary of Defense, and the president
(25:31):
of the National Defense University, Peter Garvin. They didn't waste
any time. They passed a resolution to remove George Moose
as president of the organization, replaced him with Kenneth Jackson
as acting president. So, armed with that resolution and accompanied
by the FBI, they go back to the building, believing
(25:53):
that their authority was now firmly established. But George Moose
refused to comply. So what did he do? He called
the DC cops, he called the Metropolitan Police Department. And
now you've got to standoff between the private security people,
the DC police, and the FBI. I'll just say something,
(26:19):
don't necessarily mean it, but time to pull your weapons,
time to tell them to drop theirs, and you're coming in.
We're the freaking FBI.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Back off.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
What do you think the Metropolitan Police Department? What do
you think those DC cops would do?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Well?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I think they pee their pants. Two, what do you
think that private security force would do? I think they
dropped to the ground, spread eagle, and pe the pants
at the same time.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
This is now, this.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Is what people are going out and burning teslas for,
because we're trying to exercise executive authority over over an
office of the government that thinks that's on its own
and can do whatever damn well pleases. So it didn't
end on Friday, It's built into this week when when
(27:14):
those federal employees that I mentioned and the FBI agents returned,
they found that the locks had been had been changed
over the weekend, and again Moose in his private security
force called the Metropolitan Police Department, this time after they
reviewed official documentation. The DC cops up backed off, then
(27:35):
realizing he had lost control, the director of the USIP
finally agreed to step aside, but the private security team
refused to comply. They tried to physically bar federal employees
from entering the premises that forced the retiring executive director
(27:55):
to terminate their contract on the spot and say to them,
you're get out of here. Let the FBI in. This
is what's going on that's not getting reported by the
dominant media. The cabal's not telling you this. So as
of day before yesterday, the employees that were in this
(28:17):
transition obviously fear for their safety of their families. They
expect they could be docsed and then Moose, the former
director has started coordinating with Democrat law firms. Yes, that's
right to try to get a restraining order, to try
(28:38):
to get an injunction, to try to delay the elimination
of the USAIP and their culture of unaccountability. Now, that's
all of the kind of the logistics of what's going on.
But what else is going on?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Ought to infuriate you, Hey, Dragon, I don't know if
anybody else did, but I heard you the other day
on the Martino Show.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Yeah, it turns out when you're good at your job,
everybody wants you to work with them.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Did you answer a question about a refrigerator or.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
What I chimed in the other day about the smart meters?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Oh? Okay, for Excel that.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
One guy was concerned that he would pay for the
time of use stuff, so I just told him the
smart meter does not equal time of use.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
So I got my most current electric bill, and now
when it shows your energy use, it now shows you
that breakdown of when you use it in off peak
and peak time, mid peak and all of that. And
I'm thinking about I may not. I may just leave
it as it is because I barely use any electricity
during the peak period.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Right and for some people the time of use may work,
some people it may not.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Right now, I'm only fears I'm not using the air
conditioning right now, and I will use the organition during.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Any rates will change during summertime versus winter time, too,
so you gotta pay attention to that.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
So somebody said that they had heard this on the news.
So I went to our clipping service and I couldn't
find anything there on the networks. So then I go
to ABC News Radio and I do find a short
announcement from Steven Portanoy.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
And he accuses the Trump administration of an illegal takeover.
DC police say the Monday afternoon call came from the
US Attorney's Office here a complaint that the newly installed
president of the US Institute of Peace was unable to
clear the building and bring DOGE staffers in. Police say
once they entered the building, all the unauthorized individuals still
inside left. The leadership of the independent nonprofit has been
(30:44):
ousted its former acting presidents as his firing was unlawful,
and he accuses the Trump administration of an illegal takeover notice.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Did you notice a certain language in there? The independent
non profit the u U Institute of Peace. So they're
claiming it must be like an NNGO when it's a
congressionally established institute outside the purview of either the Executive
(31:13):
Branch or Congress other than getting money from Congress. What
the hell's going on here? This is what Trump's trying
to clean up. And the fact that we've got a
bunch of Yahoo's out there that are pissed off about it,
I'd say, we're right over the target.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
We're right.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
It's a gigantic, big ass target, and we're right over it.
You can't have US funding, particularly with especially i would say,
foreign policy, and they're getting money from USAID and they're
getting money from it's Congress doesn't want to directly appropriate.
(31:54):
So Congress establishes it, and then Congress sends money to
USAID and says, oh, by the way, send this over
to the USIP. Wow, they really are engaged in money
laundry and we just go along as if nothing happens.
So the standoff of the US Institute for Peace is
this is not just about one agency. It's about the
(32:16):
fundamental question of who actually governs this country. Is it
the elected president of the United States or is it
a cabal of entrance bureaucrats accountable to nobody. I think
that question and the answer to that question is going
to determine the future of executive authority and the balance
of power in the federal government. Co equal branches of government.
(32:38):
Do we have those or not? And what's Congress doing
funding an agency that is accountable.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
To no one? Where's that inspector general? Huh?
Hello, Michael, This is Roy K. Mercer and Kimmy Wallas
at Tempa and Timmy was talking about being able to
kick our butts, our conservative butts. I'm dead and I
still know I could take him that Twin Cities, little Sissy.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm dead and I can still take you. God rest.
Roy D.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Mercer, Jury, North Dakota. This is actually pretty big news
has ruled that green Peace, the extreme environmental activist group,
must pay more than six hundred and fifty dollars in
damages for defamation and other claims that were related to
(00:44):
the protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline. The company
Energy Transfer in its subsidiary, Dakota Access they filed the lawsuit,
and they accused Greenpeace International and all their branches in
the United States of defamation, trespass, civil conspiracy, and a
bunch of other offenses. They're based out of Dallas, Texas.
(01:06):
They claim that the protests obviously the Jerry agreed that
the protests caused a significant disruption and asserted that green
Peace funded and trained the protesters who engaged in unlawful
activities against the pipeline's construction. Now that all stems from
those protests held back in twenty sixteen, in twenty seventeen.
(01:32):
Checks calendar, Yes, it's twenty twenty five. Justice takes a
long time sometimes in this country. Those protests, anyway, targeted
the pipeline's passage upstream of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribes reservation,
and the tribe is obviously long opposed the pipeline. They
cited supposed but unproven threats to their water supply. It's
(01:53):
been operational since mid twenty seventeen, transporting oil across multiple states.
Now this is a huge blow, in my opinion, to Greenpeace,
which is known worldwide for its obviously controversial protests all
the name of this, you know, the environmental by clothes
in the church of the climate activists. As of I
think twenty twenty three, I didn't make a note of
(02:14):
the dating. I think it was twenty twenty three. The
group's revenue was about forty million dollars. They've got just
under two hundred employees, so probably m the Code of
Access may not receive a lot of money because they'll
probably end up in bankruptcy court, probably end up doing.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
A Chapter seven.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
But there's something else about this case that is kind
of important and that is, don't forget that there are
other organizations. There are other places that are kind of
doing the same thing. Robbie Starbuck somebody else that I
(03:03):
follow over on X posted this a poster for this
Saturday RSVP Now join us this weekend, Saturday, March twenty two,
one pm Central daylight time TESLA takedown in Nashville and Franklin, Tennessee.
(03:26):
It's volunteer organized and then you can click on the
little poster and you can get all the details. So
what is this? This is part of an organized progressive
group protesting TESLA at their stores, at their dealerships, put
(03:50):
together by a group called Indivisible, George Soros's foundation.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I think it's Open society and maybe one of the
other ones has given Indivisible nearly eight million dollars for
their activism. And remember they're calling these a TESLA takedown,
which I assume that means they're probably going to engage
in some sort of violent activity. But even if they
don't do any violent activity, specifically at one pm Central
(04:22):
daylight time, what are they really trying to do? They're
not yes, do they want people to show up at
one o'clock Central Time in Nashville and Franklin at Tesla dealerships. Yes,
but what they really do is they want you to
RSVP because if you r SVP, they now have your name,
(04:45):
email address, probably your mobile number, and now they've got
a name that they could reach out to. And you know,
kind of like the FBI does trying to kidnap Gretchen Whipmer,
they could try to entrap you or try to convince
you to feces like, you know, don't take a pooh
that day, Wait until you get you know, wait until
the protest is over, and then show up later in
(05:07):
the evening and spread pool on some of the teslas,
or you know, be sure and bring your pen knife
or bring your car keys, whatever you might need so
you can scratch, you know, swastikas on the cyber trucks.
So if Dakota Access can sue Green Peas for inciting,
(05:31):
for engaging in defamation, inciting the violence, inciting the protests,
organizing the protests, and they can end up paying hmmm,
six hundred and fifty million dollars plus in damages.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Why don't we go after George Soros?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Why don't we go after them and see how much
money we could get from George Soros. Pam BONDI might
be something you want to look into.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Just saying.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
A a survival manual, well go Young conclusions.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
The French.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
The French government is probably going to distribute to every
single household in France a twenty page booklet. In fact,
some stories say not just every household, but to every citizen.
They want to complete this project by the end of summer.
(06:32):
The manual is intended to help French citizens prepare for
imminent threats, including armed conflict within the French borders. French
Prime Minister of Francois Bu says in an interview, the
Survival Manual aims to encourage citizens to develop their resilience
(06:53):
in the face of different crises.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
This includes natural.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Disasters, technological and cyber incidents, health crises like COVID nineteen,
and security crises like terrorist attacks and armed conflict. Now
let's go back a few years. In twenty twenty two,
the French government launched this website, providing instructions on how
to prepare for an emergency situation. FEMA has something similar.
(07:19):
We've got ready, dot gov, we got you know DHS.
Oh ever, might be ready, but The manual is believed
to feature content similar to that that the French government
provides online, including strategies to protect your family from immediate threats,
you know, giving you all the critical radio channels, and
how best to contribute to local reserve defense units. But notably,
(07:41):
one section of the booklet will deal with what individuals
should do in the case of a nuclear attack. Now,
the Prime Minister's office insists that the first step in
citizen engagement is to be informed about threats and stay updated. Okay,
don't I don't disagree with that. Engagement can also mean
joining associations such as the reserve forces. Now, why is
(08:07):
that interesting? Because Manuel and Macron. Emmanuel Macron, the president
of France, announced at the start of March, just a
couple of weeks ago, that the country aims to expand
the number of military reserves to one hundred thousand over
the next decade, from the current total of forty thousand.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Now, France isn't the only one. Both Finland and.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Sweden have recently distributed similar booklets with instructions on how
to handle extreme weather events, oh the climate change, military conflicts,
power outages, and just any other emergency situations might the
French and the Fans and the Swedes suddenly realize, wait
(08:49):
a minute, the EU is talking about even NATO's talking
about posts cease fire. We might want to put boots
on the ground, and they're worried about having or not
having an American backstop. Who's going to help us if
we put boots on the ground and things go to feces.
(09:13):
So now they are getting ready for nuclear warfare. And
there's one thing that's missing out of the entire story,
and that is the uprisings, the crime that continues to
to occur in all of these countries from all the
(09:34):
flow of migrants, all the flow of illegal aliens moving
into all of these countries from third world craphole countries.
Are they expecting suddenly that there's going to be all
sorts of.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Pushback?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Are they preparing citizens that, hm, you know, if this
gets out of control and we're not doing enough to
control it ourselves, you may We're not telling you, we're
just showing you how to defend yourself. Of course, they
don't have guns, so I don't know what they're going
to do about that. Highly of Florida, I've been to
(10:14):
Highly of Florida. They had a city council meeting. Now,
highlia is predominantly Hispanic, So the city council meeting, three
people voiced opposition to a partnership with the Feds to
deport illegal aliens. Now, seventy five percent of the population
(10:36):
is FOREI born, and according to poll numbers, dear E,
I sight another pole number, I get people pissed off
at me. Uh, seventy five percent of the population, which
is foreign born, agree with Trump's tougher immigration policies. Now
why is that important? Because that is a subset of
a wider nationwide growing support for Trump and his immigration
(11:01):
policies among Hispanic voters, who obviously shifted right in the
twenty twenty four election. Now, I think the change is
seen as being motivated by perceptions that stricter border controls
are absolutely necessary, and then they see the results of them,
and they see that, oh, encounters go from seventy five thousand,
(11:26):
you know, a couple of years ago on a single
day to one encounter on a single day this month.
So in the broader political landscape, Trump's and I think
this is true of many states. Trump's appeal in Florida
has been bullied by his stance on opposing socialist regimes,
(11:46):
attracting support from communities that fled those socialist regimes, those
communist regimes, and that means and I think that's why
in twenty twenty four, back of November five, Trump succeeded
in winning Miami Day County and they made games in
areas that had huge Hispanic populations Seminole County and others.
(12:09):
So Hispanics are now showing substantial support for mass deportations
of illegals. There was a poll published last year that
around forty percent of Latinos supported deporting all illegal aliens
from the United States. Almost fifty percent supported building a
border wall between the US and Mexico. And yet at
(12:32):
the same time we've got all of these And I
think this is why we need to understand who's in
charge of the Democrat Party. Why do you think Bernie
Sanders and alexandri At Cossi Cortes are coming to Colorado
this Friday tomorrow because they're positioning themselves to be the
(12:55):
head of the Democrat Party. You got it, You got it,
two socialists. You got an old fart and a young woman.
What better way to have two co chairs of the
Democrat National Committee than those two socialists. Somebody asked me
or in an email or a text message about whether
(13:16):
or not Schumer, you know, this should be the death
of Schumer's appearance on the view should be the death
nail for Schumer's political career. I responded, I think that
it is. It's just not going to happen immediately. But
the Democrats, based on all of this information that they see,
they see the same information that I see. In fact,
(13:36):
they probably see it. They have their own internal polling.
It's probably even worse about the public polling is. And
yet what are they doing. They're doing every single thing
that is the opposite of what traditional Democrat constituents say
that they want, which leads me to question, were those
(13:57):
Democrat constituents really saying what the Democrat Party, the Democrat apparatus,
the cabal, if you will, was telling us that they
were saying Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, gays, whatever subgroup you want
to put into the into the mix. I think they're
(14:19):
all supporting what's going on, because when you look at
these polls, turns out there may be more to it
than meets the eye.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Jd.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Vance is in the news and not just because did
you hear about Elon Musk in an interview, saying that
every time he sees the portrait of JD. Vance as
Vice President while he's in the West wing, he stops
and says a quick prayer, thank you God for that.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Oh that drove that drove the left nut.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Well, the Vice President is arguing that importing cheap foreign
labor through all this mass illegal immigration has led to
declining productivity and economic stagnation. In the way. He was
talking to a summit of venture capitalists. He was hosted
by Andresy Horowitz. This occurred Tuesday. The Vice President said
(15:10):
that the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom are
quote addicted to cheap labor and that has fueled more
than forty years of economic policy failures. He said, and
I quote, I'd say that if you look in nearly
every country from Canada to the UK that imported large
amounts of cheap labor, you've seen productivity stagnate. That's not
(15:35):
a total happenstance. I think the connection is very direct.
So he's continuing contending that these high levels of immigration,
illegal immigration in Britain and the US have caused both
of the country's workforces and their innovators to become lazy,
leading to plummeting productivity. Sarah O'Connell O'Connor tweeted, do British
(16:01):
teams shun the idea of doing useful jobs like doctors. No,
Almost thirty thousand people applied to study medicine last year.
Remember that's been rising, but the government capped the number
of places for citizens. That's seventy five the cool till
they want foreigners not actual bricks.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
I'm so glad I changed my batteries and my smoke alarms.
I hear no more chirping during the day when I
have the radio on. It's really cool. So remember everybody,
change your batteries in your smoke alarms.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Don't you ever say that I'm passive aggressive. Don't you
ever say that I'm in ahole.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
My birthday is mid April, so I typically, you know,
change my smoke detector batteries mid to late April.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Mid to late April.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Yeah, it's around my birthday.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, okay, all right? Do I have your birthday on
my calendar? I don't care.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Well good, If you don't care, then I don't care.
I'm not going to look at them. Have you heard
of the United States Institute of Peace. I would tell
you about it, except I have to log back into
my piece of crap computer that never stays logged in.
Despite oh, we have a corporate policy that says, you know,
(17:29):
once you log in a six I tried to do
it after six am because apparently the corporate policy is
that once you log in after six am, it will
stay logged in. But if you log in before five,
you know, before six am, it just kicks you out randomly.
But I would never bitch about something like that. I
(17:50):
would never complain about something.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Else work that doesn't work.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Yeah, not on the air, at least.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Not on the air. I would never do it on air.
You're a professional.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I'm a total professional. I would never bitch about anything
that this company does that's stupid on air. I would
never do that. That's why I'm a member of the
United States Institute of Peace, because I believe in peace.
Yet the USIP, the United States Institute of Peace, is
(18:18):
just another example of one of these deep state organizations
that was created by Congress that's evolved beyond its intended function.
As I like to point out, it's like a metastatic cancer,
and it's just.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Grown and grown and grown.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Now, the very idea that you would have a taxpayer
funded institution that would dictate form policy that would be
outside the control of the executive branch, specifically outside the
control of the President of the United States, might seem,
I don't know, absurd to you. It certainly seems absurd
(18:57):
to me. Well, it's in the news, and it's in
the news because apparently the President of the United States
does not control the agency that is engaged in a
global regime building and the workers don't know how to
organize a sit in or a lockout or whatever they
(19:20):
wanted to call it quietly without Doze finding out about it.
Sometimes bureaucrats are just stupid. For decades, the US Institute
of Peace, Oh, just makes you feel good, doesn't it.
Anytime there's a government program that makes you feel good,
(19:40):
it must you know that it's wasting your money. And
it's bipartisan. It's bipartisan, and it's been quietly steering all
sorts of foreign policy initiatives without any public scrutiny. In fact,
I honestly believe unless you've heard this story, report, report
in the news when they decided to, you know, refuse
(20:03):
to leave the building. You had never heard of it
before that, So who says the policies of this organization?
What accountability is there?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Now? Congress might have formed this organization.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
But I death that most members of Congress even know
about it, let alone have ever exercised any real oversight,
knows how it operates, knows what it does, or anything else.
It is obviously an affront to the concept of a
separation of powers. The idea that the legislative branch should
(20:40):
have its own de facto foreign policy operation, which is
separate and untouchable by the executive is beyond any concept
or constitutionality in my opinion. And then when you look
into the history it produces and distributes manuals, manuals that
are designed to teach activists how.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
To subvert and overthrow governments.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
It's kind of like the Congress has its own little
CIA to go out and do covert operations. Except some
of these materials about how to do subversive activities surface
during Occupy Wall Street, the Black Lives Matter, and the
(21:25):
Antifa riots, and are now being discovered during the pro
Palestinian anti Semitic campus takeovers and you're fitting the bill.
You're fitting the bill for an organization that actively undermines
US foreign policy interests, both abroad and domestically. Now, the
(21:45):
Democrats are going to argue that bill he was designed
to function outside presidential control. It was meant to be
an independent entity that was going to go out and
promote global peace. Why should we have any independence entity
that operates outside the control or over the control of
(22:05):
the executive Because this is not a congressional committee, This
is not a congressional commission. This is a separate deep
state entity. There is no justification for a government funded
body engaging in foreign influenced campaigns, or, for that matter,
(22:29):
tactical subversions without some sort demnimous oversight from the president,
from the executive branch. Now, I think this case is
going to be a critical test case for the Supreme
Court in addressing the unchecked proliferation of independent agencies. The
(22:52):
Court's going to have to decide does Congress have the
authority to create an organization that functions independently of presidential authority,
particularly in matters of foreign policy.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I don't think so. So what happened.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Friday, Three federal employees arrived at the USIP the Institute
for Peace headquarters in d C. Do you know what
the building costs to build? One hundred and eighty six
million dollars? Now, I know office rent in DC is expensive,
But you could have gone to Virginia Hell's Bells. You
(23:30):
could have gone to Colorado, got it, got had gone
to Florida, maybe avoid property taxes. Yeah, you could have
gone almost anywhere. Two of these employees were affiliated with
the state Department. They had been assigned to USAID. The
third was from uh OH, the Department of Government Efficiency.
Now they had a purpose assert rightful government oversight over
(23:56):
a federally funded institution. They were marching in to look
at the books, see who was there, who was working,
what their jobs are, what they're doing. They were denied entry.
Wait a minute, denied entry by the US Marshall Service,
a government police force.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
No. Denied entry by the US Secret Service.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
No.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Denied entry by the Federal Protective Service, another government police force. No,
they were denied entry by the US Institute for Pieces
private security force. Now I want you to think about that,
a privately contracted security team guarding what is supposed to
(24:45):
be a US government facility that ought to immediately raise
questions with the Attorney General, the State Department, and the
Defense departments. Why does the government funded entity require private
armed security to prevent access to the government officials into
a government building? What are they protecting? So the Trump
(25:07):
team acted immediately. The White House fired eleven members of
the board for failing to comply with an executive voter
aimed at restoring federal oversight. So that left three remaining
board members. I love this up, Marco Rubio, Secretary of
State Pete Hegsath, the Secretary of Defense, and the president
(25:31):
of the National Defense University, Peter Garvin. They didn't waste
any time. They passed a resolution to remove George Moose
as president of the organization, replaced him with Kenneth Jackson
as acting president. So, armed with that resolution and accompanied
by the FBI, they go back to the building, believing
(25:53):
that their authority was now firmly established. But George Moose
refused to comply. So what did he do? He called
the DC cops, he called the Metropolitan Police Department. And
now you've got to standoff between the private security people,
the DC police, and the FBI. I'll just say something,
(26:19):
don't necessarily mean it, but time to pull your weapons,
time to tell them to drop theirs, and you're coming in.
We're the freaking FBI.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Back off.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
What do you think the Metropolitan Police Department? What do
you think those DC cops would do?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Well?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I think they pee their pants. Two, what do you
think that private security force would do? I think they
dropped to the ground, spread eagle, and pe the pants
at the same time.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
This is now, this.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Is what people are going out and burning teslas for,
because we're trying to exercise executive authority over over an
office of the government that thinks that's on its own
and can do whatever damn well pleases. So it didn't
end on Friday, It's built into this week when when
(27:14):
those federal employees that I mentioned and the FBI agents returned,
they found that the locks had been had been changed
over the weekend, and again Moose in his private security
force called the Metropolitan Police Department, this time after they
reviewed official documentation. The DC cops up backed off, then
(27:35):
realizing he had lost control, the director of the USIP
finally agreed to step aside, but the private security team
refused to comply. They tried to physically bar federal employees
from entering the premises that forced the retiring executive director
(27:55):
to terminate their contract on the spot and say to them,
you're get out of here. Let the FBI in. This
is what's going on that's not getting reported by the
dominant media. The cabal's not telling you this. So as
of day before yesterday, the employees that were in this
(28:17):
transition obviously fear for their safety of their families. They
expect they could be docsed and then Moose, the former
director has started coordinating with Democrat law firms. Yes, that's
right to try to get a restraining order, to try
(28:38):
to get an injunction, to try to delay the elimination
of the USAIP and their culture of unaccountability. Now, that's
all of the kind of the logistics of what's going on.
But what else is going on?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Ought to infuriate you, Hey, Dragon, I don't know if
anybody else did, but I heard you the other day
on the Martino Show.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Yeah, it turns out when you're good at your job,
everybody wants you to work with them.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Did you answer a question about a refrigerator or.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
What I chimed in the other day about the smart meters?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Oh? Okay, for Excel that.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
One guy was concerned that he would pay for the
time of use stuff, so I just told him the
smart meter does not equal time of use.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
So I got my most current electric bill, and now
when it shows your energy use, it now shows you
that breakdown of when you use it in off peak
and peak time, mid peak and all of that. And
I'm thinking about I may not. I may just leave
it as it is because I barely use any electricity
during the peak period.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Right and for some people the time of use may work,
some people it may not.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Right now, I'm only fears I'm not using the air
conditioning right now, and I will use the organition during.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Any rates will change during summertime versus winter time, too,
so you gotta pay attention to that.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
So somebody said that they had heard this on the news.
So I went to our clipping service and I couldn't
find anything there on the networks. So then I go
to ABC News Radio and I do find a short
announcement from Steven Portanoy.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
And he accuses the Trump administration of an illegal takeover.
DC police say the Monday afternoon call came from the
US Attorney's Office here a complaint that the newly installed
president of the US Institute of Peace was unable to
clear the building and bring DOGE staffers in. Police say
once they entered the building, all the unauthorized individuals still
inside left. The leadership of the independent nonprofit has been
(30:44):
ousted its former acting presidents as his firing was unlawful,
and he accuses the Trump administration of an illegal takeover notice.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Did you notice a certain language in there? The independent
non profit the u U Institute of Peace. So they're
claiming it must be like an NNGO when it's a
congressionally established institute outside the purview of either the Executive
(31:13):
Branch or Congress other than getting money from Congress. What
the hell's going on here? This is what Trump's trying
to clean up. And the fact that we've got a
bunch of Yahoo's out there that are pissed off about it,
I'd say, we're right over the target.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
We're right.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
It's a gigantic, big ass target, and we're right over it.
You can't have US funding, particularly with especially i would say,
foreign policy, and they're getting money from USAID and they're
getting money from it's Congress doesn't want to directly appropriate.
(31:54):
So Congress establishes it, and then Congress sends money to
USAID and says, oh, by the way, send this over
to the USIP. Wow, they really are engaged in money
laundry and we just go along as if nothing happens.
So the standoff of the US Institute for Peace is
this is not just about one agency. It's about the
(32:16):
fundamental question of who actually governs this country. Is it
the elected president of the United States or is it
a cabal of entrance bureaucrats accountable to nobody. I think
that question and the answer to that question is going
to determine the future of executive authority and the balance
of power in the federal government. Co equal branches of government.
(32:38):
Do we have those or not? And what's Congress doing
funding an agency that is accountable.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
To no one? Where's that inspector general? Huh?
