3-4-25 - 7am - Dems Trying to be Patriotic and Choose Where Your Money Goes

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bridie leastly talking about the price eggs anymore.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, not yet, but it's still early.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
It's time for a little perspective because it's really not
hard to believe that not so long ago, Donald Trump
appeared to be, at least in some quarters, appeared to
be headed for prison. The dominant media, the cabal, was
the real power center, and they were driving the agenda.

(00:36):
Everything we talked about was sitting around what the cabal
was talking about. And every major institution in this country
was feeling this. And let me rephrase that, not just
every institution, but businesses, so maybe the private sector as
an institution in general, they all felt this obligation that

(00:57):
they had to capitulate to the demands of something like diversity, equity,
inclusion or something that I'm gonna I'm gonna mention a phrase,
and I want you to instantly think about, how long
has it been since you've heard this Environmental, Social and
Governance ESG. Now DEI is still kind of in the

(01:19):
news because of what Trump's doing to eliminate DEI out
of out of society. But ESG, I mean, that was
all the rage for a while, and boy, that went away,
and transgenderism now that's transgenderism is still somewhat in the
forefront of the news because of that spat that Trump

(01:39):
had in the White House with the governor of Maine
who said, well, you know, we're going to sue you
and court We're gonna sue you.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Isn't that fascinating? I mean, I I.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Still am bumfuzzled by the fact that, uh, you know,
it's kind of it's kind of like CNN was asking
in that poll that if you ask anybody are they
for peace or war, that you would think that the
majority of people are going to be in favor of peace,
you know, just as a general term. Well, I would
think too that if you just say, or the polling

(02:11):
question is do you think men do you think biological
men should be able to compete against women and women's sports?
I would think that the response would be, you know,
just because there's always five percent of the dumbasses, that
it would be ninety five to five opposed to biological
men competing in women's sports. But no, that one's still

(02:33):
kind of on the cusp of it's kind of being
marginalized and kind of going away. But it's not quite
nearly as far along that demise as ISDI and certainly ESG.
So that's kind of where we were. Well today, Trump's

(02:54):
not anywhere near going to jail. In fact, Elon Musk,
Donald Trump, Scott Descent, Chris Wright, Marco Rubio, J. D
Vance is the vice president, you know, speaking the vice president.
We just heard yesterday that Tim Walls A maybe I

(03:16):
shouldn't laugh, because you know, this country has done some
really stupid things in the past. But Tim Walls is
considering a run for president in twenty twenty eight. What
what's he gonna do? Go fleeting across this Will he
come out in the ballerina's dress announcing that, Hey, I'm
going to run for president and then do a little
peer at and we're all.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Supposed to go, oh yay, how oll louya.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
We're saying from Orange Man bad Now we got flaming
guy running around.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Now, yeah, I'm gonna run for president. That's how that's
how weird things are right now.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
You think about the cabal, Oh, it's still in existence,
it's still out there. It's what's driving right now. It's
desperately clinging on to the war in Ukraine because that
is part that that war machine is part of the cabal.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
So they're there. But where do you go for news now?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
I mean, you think about the plethora of sources for
every kind of news that you can you get, ask
for every kind of opinion you could want. When I
think about when I think about show prep ten years
ago versus show Prep today, this is why it's it's

(04:35):
even more true today than it was. Well, it's still
it's still true in this sense. For me, show prep
is twenty four hours a day, seven days a week,
because anything that anybody says to me anywhere can trigger
a neuron firing somewhere in this diet coke cattle brain
that says, oh, that might make a good story, And
then I'll go down and I'll start down that rabbit

(04:56):
hole trying to find it, or the or the comment
that somebody makes in and of itself becomes the story.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
But in terms of sources, holy crap.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Right now, just on one browser not I have two
browsers open with plus Microsoft Word with my notes, and
on one browser one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
eleven eleven tabs open on just one browser alone, all
of which are entirely different news sources about stories that

(05:35):
I hope to get to sometime today. And that's not
counting the second browser, and that's not counting the word
document that's got all of my notes about the you
know the salient or you know this on this story,
be sure and talk about this. So I got all
of this open in front of me, and I'm able
to go everywhere for this. So the hedge, the the

(05:57):
hegemony that the cabal wants held over the propaganda they
would deliver us is no longer there. Remember when Musk
bought X and everybody was and it went through some
like anything you buy any new company, or you become
the new president and you want to impose your agenda

(06:19):
on something. Of course, they are going to be hiccups
along the way, and you're going to maybe overreach a
few times, or you're going to do something that's a
little wrong and people are going to scream at you,
but you're going to you know, readjust and keep moving forward.
X X now almost sets the agenda for what is

(06:40):
discussed by the media. Then think about where are we today?
Is Tuesday, March fourth, so we're seven weeks. How many
I'd have to go back and love the calendar, but
from January twentieth to March four, as I'm broadcasting live
right now, less than two months, Trump has signed a

(07:08):
suite of executive vorters, and those executive vorters have undone
that hegemony of DEI, ESG and transgenderism in the culture.
Someone yesterday casually mentioned that Vadimir Volodomoor, excuse me, Zelenski

(07:32):
shows up to meet with Claus Schwab at the World
Economic Forum and wears a suit. Well, that triggered in
my mind, Oh yeah, where's the World Economic Forum. We've
reached the point now where a lot of people don't
want to be seen at the World Economic Forum. At
the DeVos conference, black Rock has abandoned ESG and DEI,

(07:57):
and they controlled trillions of dollars in terms of a
hedge fund that manages, owns or has a major ownership
in in country or in man countries and in businesses
all over the country. Now it is true that a
lot of our social institutions remain in the grip all

(08:18):
of all these true believers in this de I, E
s G trans agenda, and and and Clive Frankie also
in the in the really kind of frightening undercurrent of
anti semitism, that exists in this country. Right now, we're
right back once again to uh was it Bernard, uh

(08:42):
one one of the one of the New New York universities.
It's Columbia. It's Bernard, which is part of Columbia, right
back again with students occupying. So it's not that I'm
trying to paint a picture that it's all gone away.
I'm just trying to paint a picture of that. It's
kind of inverted. So it's it's just not it's just

(09:07):
not possible to not take note of some of the
massive changes that have occurred since the election. Trump defeated
the Democrats, not just to the ballot box, but he
defeated the Democrats morally and and now Democrats. I forget

(09:29):
what I was doing, but I had once again, I
was driving around. I had I had serious Channel one fourteen,
which is Fox News on and they were they were
talking about in kind of generic terms that the Democrats
are starting to think about, maybe we ought to be

(09:53):
not so much more like Republicans, but maybe we ought
to emulate the Republicans. Maybe we ought to be patriotic.
And I thought, if you're saying to yourself that look
Republicans are winning because they love America. Maybe we ought

(10:14):
to try that, really, so are you Is that an
admission not trying to play therapy? Well, maybe I ain't
trying to play therapists for the Democrats? Is that an
emission on the couch that you really aren't patriotic and
that you still really buy into the bull crap of
Barack Obama, that you want to fundamentally transform this nation

(10:37):
and you're now recognizing that the fundamental transformation that's taking
place is that America is rediscovering itself, that we're starting
to look a little kind of what we've been doing
over the past twenty thirty years and it's just not working.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
And what we see going on is ooh.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Not very good and it doesn't really represent the ideals
that we believe in. So it kind of kind of
in my list of things that we're going to go
through today, Let's think about what was at once considered
fringe concert conspiracy theories that now is pretty much accepted as, oh,

(11:25):
you know, thank it, that was true, the COVID lab
leak theory, Biden family influenced peddling, the entrapment, and the
framing by the intelligence community, of Trump and his associates
as Russian assets. Well, it turns out that all that
stuff kind of turns out to be true. While the
mainstream conspiracy theories the Russia gates the Hunter Biden laptop

(11:51):
as the laptop as a Russian hack and leak operation
January sixth is an insurrection, we now turn it turns
out those things are turning them on their heads to
and well, no, that's true, all of which discredits the cabal,
all of which discredits the deep state, the administrative state

(12:12):
that Trump is trying to kind of get his control on,
and the Democrat Party. So this populous right movement that's
going on, manifested as the Trump administration, manifested to some
degree by x is the new center of power in
the country. But it raises significant questions about how we're

(12:37):
going to govern ourselves, how will we achieve a lasting
peace in Ukraine, Which to me is right now is
it seems to be the most divisive issue simply because
we saw the ugliness of what goes behind the scenes
in a negotiation. I go back to my analogy about
two divorce lawyers trying to get a divorce settlement between

(13:00):
two between two parties that have irreconcilable differences.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
There were in my legal.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Career there were people whom I either chose to represent
or I was told to represent, either by a partner
in a law firm or by a judge in a
criminal case, that I didn't want to represent them, but
I that's what my job was, so I represented them.

(13:35):
It doesn't mean that I adopted or that I somehow
morphed into being that person or that institution that I
didn't agree with what they stood for. There's a lot
of that going on in the country right now, and
what we're in is we're in the throes of understanding

(13:59):
that we're trying to dismantle a lot of this stuff.
We're trying to reform a lot of these things, and
it creates this kind of really surreal world where people
are like, like this acquaintance on you know, I'm not
going to use a word friend, anyone use the word
acquaintance on Facebook that accuses me of somehow being in

(14:21):
favor of Russia and against this country. It takes some
kind of stupid to think of that. It really does
take a certain kind of stupid. Uh.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
I'll give you a local example of what I.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Mean, well, it is because you like pancakes that you
must hate waffles well.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
And that that, yes, it was a was a great
example because because I because I want to see And
it goes back to the question, which, by the way,
let me look real quickly, I don't think anybody's given
me an answer.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Nope, nobody.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Nobody's really giving me an answer to the question of
if you support Ukraine, which I look, I support any country.
I shouldn't say any country, but I would support a
country like Ukraine that gets invaded by a country that

(15:23):
is quite frankly an evil empire run by a thug
who has expansionist dreams to recreate the old Soviet Union. Yeah,
I would support their battle. But if you ask me,
how do I want to support that battle? Well, right now,
because of everything that's gone beforehand, I support trying to

(15:46):
negotiate a settlement because I'm not willing to put boots
on the ground. I'm not willing to send American soldiers
to go die in an Eastern European country that, as
of today we don't have any vital economic interest. And
then I learn today, oh, actually I learned yesterday that

(16:11):
while we've been by the way somebodys on the text
line said, but isn't Ukraine paying our defense contractors for
all of these munitions. Yes, in part, that is true,
but you can't just accept that as a fact that
stands in a vacuum. So while we do send older

(16:36):
equipment to Ukraine and then turn and say to our
defense contractors, now build us new tanks, build us new missiles,
because we took the olden stuff out of inventory, so
now replace the inventory with new stuff. Yes, that is true,
but you can't say that without also recognizing that we

(16:59):
are also spend money to support the Ukrainian pension program,
the Ukrainian media, the Ukrainian social welfare welfare programs, rebuilding
Ukrainian infrastructure, all of which doesn't benefit us, benefits them.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Michael, did I see you imply that Tim Walls is.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Rooty?

Speaker 1 (17:29):
No? I didn't imply. I said he was flaming. I mean,
have you watched him peer at across a stage. Have
you watched him fling his arms? Have you watched him
you know? Oh my, look at this. I'm not implying anything.
I'm telling you exactly what I observe. So all this

(17:51):
upheaval is going on and I call it upheavals simply
because it's causing a lot of consternation among people. I
see it as a positive. I see it as getting
back to the fundamentals that really built this nation into
what it is, and it's it's look, Trump's not going

(18:16):
to accomplish it all in four years. We're not going
to accomplish it all in eight years. This is something
that has been a century in the making and could
I don't think it'll take a century to undo, but
I do think it's one of those things where we're
off to such a fast start that our expectations are

(18:41):
getting probably a little too high. But I want to
give a couple of examples of how it is encouraging
to me anyway to see that many things that I've
often said are actually coming true, and that getting back
to some of these fundamental principles like federalism, like there

(19:05):
is a limited role for the federal government, that we
are a country of fifty states that have come together
and under our constitution have granted the federal government certain
enumerated powers and all that executive power that you know,
Congress will make these laws and that they will be
executed and administered by an executive branch, and that this

(19:28):
third branch over here, the judiciary will interpret the Constitution
for us and you know, resolve you know, judicial or
legal conflicts, and that the states and locals, and that
you and I have the power and should be doing

(19:49):
most of the most of the things that we've taken
on since say the Great Society that or since FDR's
new deal. That really should be in the hands of
the private sector. And I am and I just ran
across a not just but earlier in the week, ran
across a great example of it. Earlier in the week.

(20:11):
Hell's just Tuesday. That's kind of depressing.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Kyle Clark over.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
At nine News posted this on the SeaForce. This would
have been on Saturday. I guess.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Girls Ain't Denver. He posted this on X.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Girls Ain't Denver offers mentoring and leadership programs for school
age girls. The nonprofit says it recently lost seventy thousand
dollars in federal funding after being deemed quote gender ideology
close quote next. On nine News, viewers have raised sixty

(20:50):
five thousand dollars. Clark says, I'll match the next fifty
five dollars donations and he gives a link to a
fundraising site, and he posts a picture of these girls
and Girls Inc. In front of maybe one of their
locations or something, and they're all wearing little t shirts

(21:12):
with hearts on them, and they've all got smiles, and
they're all kind of you know, it's just like a
bunch of little girls all being little girls. Clark posts
again on the same day. Girls Inc. Works with girls
from first grade until college, offering after school in summer programs, mentorship,
career education, internships, and scholarships. The nonprofit the NGOs goal

(21:38):
is to help girls be healthy, educated and independent. Next Viewers,
he continues in his string of posts on x Next
viewers have raised thirty five thousand dollars in one time donations,
plus thirty thousand dollars in donations from recurring monthly gifts

(21:59):
from the Word of Thanks fund. Four thousand plus monthly
donors have signed up to support every nonprofit we feature,
and to learn more, he cites Colorado Gives and a
certain link to go look. He continues, Each week of
micro giving is a pledge kept as long as you're

(22:20):
willing to give, and nine news as long allows me
to organize this we'll stay after it. This is week
number two hundred and forty six. You have raised an
astonishing number, in my opinion, fourteen million, two hundred ninety six,
one hundred and seventy eight dollars for nonprofits across Colorado.

(22:41):
Thank you, I welcome micro giving ideas at next blah
blah blah. And then you go through the comments, five
dollars donated. Thank you for calling attention to this, Kyle.
I love this organization. Organization, says somebody else, and they
have such a fabulous slogan, change the world.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Not the girl.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
And then you get to someone by the name of
Eric who says, well, this is good. It should be
that he uses the word supplemented by private citizens. I
would say this is really good because it shows this
is exactly how this should be funded. How many times

(23:25):
have I said that these are exactly the kinds of
organizations that should not be dependent at all on government moneies.
But instead, if we were to eliminate most now not all,
because we cannot eliminate now. Maybe in some ideal world
you think we can. I don't think we can. But

(23:48):
in a world where we understand that social welfare programs
are primarily the function of the private sector. And by
the private sector, I mean church, synagogues, mosques, business organizations,
chambers of commerce, different different charities. Those shouldn't be funded

(24:11):
by the federal government. Those shouldn't be funded by state government.
They should be funded by individuals who take it upon
themselves to choose to choose a particular organization and say
this fits something that's important to me, maybe for a
personal reason, maybe for a familial reason, maybe whatever it

(24:35):
might be. But I choose to support this organization. And
if everyone did that, of course everyone won't. But if
the private sector stepped up, we could eliminate all of
this stupid funding that we do that we simply cannot afford.
And I would say, as importantly, is not a governmental function.

(25:01):
Kyle Clark just proved it to me. He's raised what
did I say? The figure was more than fourteen million dollars,
and they supported different organizations, and the one that he
was focused on right now was a Girl's inc of Denver. Well, congratulations, Kyle,
you proved my point and your viewers proved my point

(25:24):
that this is where the funding belongs. Now, let me
give you another exam let me compare and contrast that
to something else, because there's something else. Is a great
example of how we we are allowed to be driven
by the cabal to get really outraged about something, and

(25:48):
by omission, the cabal will ignore exactly the same thing
because they don't want you, they don't want you to
be drawn to oh look what they're doing. And in
this example, Elon Musk was nowhere to be seen. The
local media, best I can tell, was totally silent. I

(26:11):
shouldn't say totally because I actually found the story in
a local media outlet, but I didn't see anything big
on the news about it. I did you know Channel
nine or channel thirty one, Channel nine, channel four, channel seven.
None of the local stations that I could find carried
some big package about it. There were no protests, there

(26:32):
were no marches, no videos, no interviews.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Of the victims.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Why there were victims, and nobody interviewed the victims. It
was silent, quiet, and I stupidly kept waiting for some
eruption about, oh my gosh, you know some in trouble,
the reporters going to go cover this, because how can
we allow this to happen? Because ooh, then suddenly dawndle

(26:58):
me the local media is not going to cover this
because this is what's happening at the federal level. And
if we show up being done at the local level,
then aren't we hypocrites? Yeah, you'd be hypocrites. And instead,
instead of being one kind of hypocrite by covering it
at the local level, you decided to be a different
kind of hypocrite, a hypocrite nonetheless, by not carrying it.

(27:23):
Last Friday. Last Friday, a memo was quietly published by
the superintendent of the Denver Public Schools, Alex Morrero. You
know what he did. He dozed, If we can make
doze a verb, he dozed the Denver Public Schools. Yep,
no riots, no burnings, no interview of the victims. He

(27:49):
laid off, fired, terminated, gave the boot to showed on
the door thirty eight Central's office school employees. I didn't
hear one of them interview. Remember of the irs people
were fired in downtown Denver because Musk did that, because

(28:09):
the federal government did that. Why the local media was
all over it, sticky microphones and cameras in their faces.
Oh tell me how bad this is? What are you
going to do?

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Well?

Speaker 1 (28:20):
A democrat does it? In the Denver schools and nobody
says anything. Now, he laid off these thirty eight because
of budget concerns, saying that's going to save the school
district five million dollars a year. Well, I think that's
actually good news.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Now.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
To be honest, he laid off thirty eight, but he
only laid off thirty because eight of the thirty eight
positions that he got rid of were already vacant. So
why is it okay for him to do that to
save a school district five million dollars? But if Trump
or Musk did it to a federal government employee, there

(28:59):
would be this huge from DC, just like there was
a huge screen from downtown Denver about the IRS. I
heard no screams from Denver.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
I do think capitulation is an interesting word, and I
so loved it when Snuffle of Gis used the capitulation
to cues or in a sentence accusing Donald Trump of
working with Russians because Mark a Body slammed him. That
was so wonderful to see you on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Oh yeah, I think I've got that. I think I
have that one in my note somewhere. Let me see
if I can find it real quickly, because that is
that is a It was a very good body.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Slam uh. I just happened to have it asked and
you shall receive.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
Let me tell you, all right, so you know what
the do you know what the United Nations resolution was,
I'll tell you if you want to hear what it was.
It basically said, this has been a horrible war. It's
time for it to end. The job of the is
to bring about peace in the world. I thought that's
what the UN was created to do, to stop wars
and to prevent them. And that's what the resolution did.
Was it antagonistic towards the Russians, No, back to the point,
but it also didn't praise the Russians. All it said

(30:13):
is this is a bad war.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
It needs to end.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
And by the way, at the Security Council, which has
not been widely reported, the first resolution on Ukraine that
has passed the Security Council in three years passed this
week because of the leadership of President Trump. And it's
a resolution that says bad war needs to end. Let's
bring the two sides together. That's what the resolution is.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Again.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
But all you heard was, oh my god, Trump voted
with Russia at the UN Security Council.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
What is the United Nations for? Isn't it not a
forum to promote peace in the world? And it shouldn't
our president. Shouldn't we all be happy that we have
a president who's trying to stop wars and prevent them
instead of start them. And I just don't get it.
I really don't. Other than the fact that it's Donald J. Trump.
If this was a Democrat that was doing this, everyone
would be saying, well, he's on his way to the
Nobel Peace Prize.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
This is absurd.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
We are trying to end a war. You cannot end
the war unless both sides come to the table, starting
with the Russians. And that is the point the President
has made, and we have to do whatever we can
to try to bring them to the table to see
if it's even possible. I'm not promising you it's possible.
I'm not telling you it's ninety percent likely. I'm saying
it's zero percent likely if we don't get them to
a negotiating table. And the sooner everyone grows up around

(31:22):
here and figures out that this is a bad war
that's heading in a bad direction with death and destruction
and all kinds of danger surrounding it that could spiral
into a broader conflict. The sooner people grow up and
realize that, I think, the more progress we're going to
be able to make. But the President's crystal clear. He
campaigned on it and he's going to govern on it,
and that is he is going to be a president
that tries to achieve peace. And he has been very clear.

(31:44):
This is a war that would have never happened had
Donald Trump been in the White House. And it needs
to end, and we're going to do everything we can
to end it in an enduring and sustainable and fair way.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
I am pretty dang good, wasn't it?

Speaker 1 (31:58):
But I would renew the question is exactly right. So
how that UN Security Council vote was presented to you
by the cabal as, Oh, look, Donald Trump is siding
with the Russians. How I truly help me? I'm begging
for help here. How is it that when you say

(32:20):
to Zelensky, look, we'll reach an economic deal with you,
and we'll do that first. Now we've got negotiations going
on over here. Actually negotiations isn't the right term. We
have meetings going on over here in the middle East
to see if we can even get Russia to a
negotiating table.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
So let's with you. We'll see what we can do
with an economic agreement. Uh.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
By the way, Putin jumped in and said, hey, hey,
over here, look at me. I'll sell you some rare
earth minerals too, So you can see the kind of
impact that that agreement would have. Suddenly everybody wants to
sell us rare earth minerals. I would rather just buy
rare earth minerals from Does this make me a Russian stooge?
I would rather buy rare earth minerals from Russia than

(33:10):
I would from China. Russia is malleable even though it's
run by a thug, because the thug over there still
wants to make money. The thug in China is looking
for world domination.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
So why not?

Speaker 1 (33:27):
And again I ask you, what's the alternative? The only
alternative I see for these people who demand, you know,
