Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michael weapon find to come out with this as a
thirty year banker with an NBA. The reason your credit
score is high is because you don't have a lot
of debt. Therefore, the credit utilization part of your FYCRO
score reflects that in your overall score. You also don't
apply for copious amounts of credit cards, i e. Extending
the national debt, which tells people that you're serious.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
About being able to service your debt. Weird, deep crap.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
It's interesting because, uh, I mean I tried it first.
First of all, I like the fact that, uh, Wells Fargo,
you know, so I bang it two places. Wells Fargo's
one of them, A credit Union is another one. Well, actually,

(00:49):
I guess I should say I bang it several places
because they don't have a brokerage account. And that brokerage account,
I've got a sweep account and you know, blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
But I get a.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Fee on my mix of accounts because I don't really
have you know, I don't have real estate loans. I've
got the Beamer's paid off, the jeep I'm getting ready
to pay off, although I probably won't because it's a

(01:22):
zero percent interest. I just kind of want to get
rid of payment. I've got the extra cash to do this,
so I thought about doing that. But anyway, I look
at the whole score, and it's like the way it
varies from month to month, because it can vary by
ten points and nothing's happened except and I have learned
this little trick. So I just I pay my credit

(01:43):
cards twice a month. No rhyme or reason for that
other than just I get paid twice a month.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Or how's it we.

Speaker 5 (01:52):
Get paid twice fifteenth in the last day.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, so we get paid twice a month. And so
I just went and just pay whatever the not the
not the balance plus houtending charges, just the current existing
balance minus the pending charges. So whatever that dollar amount is,
I just pay that until the pending charges. You know,

(02:17):
they'll roll over to the next babe, next period. So
the score just bounces up and down, but it bounces
up and down between i'd say eight fifteen and eight
twenty five consistently, and I just I just find it weird.
And I find it weird because I don't really use

(02:38):
credit that much. So I guess you're right, because I
don't use it. I get I get a high score,
and I'm not gonna have done that path. I want
to go back to energy though, because Energy with me
gets a really great credit score. You know, the Pritzker
of the high end legacy Hyatt Hotels, J. D. Pritzker,

(03:04):
the lord asque governor of Illinois, who is all in
on climate change. He's all in all the Democrats stuff,
but showing that they don't really believe their own dogma.
They don't believe their own climate bible. Because there's been

(03:27):
a blockbuster deal in Illinois that signals i think an
accelerating recovery in the nuclear power industry, and it's all
focused on developing these AI data centers. Constellation Energy has
now inked a twenty year pack with Meta to supply

(03:49):
eleven one megawatts from the Clinton Clean Energy Center. Also,
they can power Meta's A data centers starting in twenty
twenty seven, extending the Clinton Nuclear Power Center's life beyond
Illinois's expiring zero emission credit program, adding thirty megawatts, saving

(04:16):
eleven hundred jobs.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
This is truly nothing more. I don't mean nothing more.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
It is truly a market driven deal that proves nuclear
can thrive without heavy handed mandates. It is a model
for keeping reliable, carbon free power online. While the tech giants,
as much as we may get pissed off at them,

(04:44):
they're driving demand through the roof. And it's probably no
coincidence whatsoever that this deal comes only ten days after
Trump signed four executive orders to jumpstart the US nuclear
industry in a signing ceremony there was attended by a
Constellation CEO and a bunch of other industry executives. You

(05:06):
take all of those stories together and it shows a
US energy policy that is recalibrating. So what's it recalibrating too?
Pragmatism and strategic positioning. I think that energy between Interior,

(05:30):
the Energy Department and.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Energy Interior. Who else would I put in that group? EPA, EPA.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Those three cabinet members along with Trump are probably doing more,
I can say more, seem to be doing more to
jump start the economy than everything that he's doing over here.
In terms of look, I'm all, don't me wrong. I'm
all for maintaining the current tax rates. In fact, I'd

(06:04):
like to see them, you know, lowered even more. But
keeping the twenty seventeen tax cuts in place is a
huge deal. But growth, This is an example of Trump's
focus on growth and particularly growth through energy, that I

(06:25):
think is going to have long range ramifications because something
like these two things are going to be very difficult.
Let's just say that, you know, God forbid, but a
Democrat wins in twenty twenty eight, or for that matter,
that we lose the House or the Senator both in
twenty twenty eight in the midterms. This kind of deal

(06:47):
with constellation energy is not something that's easily, if at all,
can be undone. So that sends a real clear message
that American needs power that works, not power that's intermittent
or not power when the sun shining, not power when

(07:07):
the wind's blowing. But we need power twenty four hours
a day, every single day, three hundred and sixty five
days a year. And Trump's agenda is focused on restoring
that energy dominance in.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Those forms of energy.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
So when you have a world that in the second thing,
for that matter, even the third world, but worldwide, when
demand is rising and there's all this geopolitical chess that's
being played, this is the logical strategic initiative, and it's

(07:43):
the logical strategic imperative. And Trump's all over it. He
is absolutely all over it, and I find it astonishing.
I find it amazing because the more we can become
energy independent and in energy dominant, those are two separate concepts,

(08:05):
energy independent but energy dominant. That means the flow of
capital to this country, whether it's for AI data centers,
whether it's for whatever new technology is around the corner
that we don't even know about yet, but is it
going to require copious amounts of reliable energy people will

(08:26):
come here. That puts chigen Ping and China on their heels.
By the way, just as a side note, Chigi Ping
has not been seen for I think twelve maybe fourteen
days now two weeks. And again going back to some
of the geopolitical websites that I subscribe to, many people

(08:51):
believe that the coup may be starting.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Not that it's in full bloom yet, but the coup.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Against Shijing Ping is starting. It's really difficult, and maybe
I'll try to do a story on this tomorrow, but
it's difficult to get objective, legitimate information out of China.
But we apparently have riots in the streets. We have
people that are being forced relocated to rural areas because

(09:23):
there are no jobs in some of the urban areas.
Some of the manufacturing lines have been completely shut down.
Hijing Ping is still got his twenty twenty seven day
to invade Taiwan. The generals are opposed to that, the
People's Liberation Army large as opposed to it. So Taiwan

(09:46):
may be off the chess board right now as long
as they can get rid of Jijing Ping. And the
fact he hasn't been seen for a long time means
that the elder leaders of the Chinese Communist Party may
actually be trying to figure out a way to and
how to eliminate him.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Now.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Whether that means I mean off him, disappear him, or
simply replace him, I don't know. But it's something that
you ought to at least put on somewhere in your
brain to pay attention to what's going on in China.
I'll try to do some work today and see if
I can't find out some more information, legitimate information, and
pass it on to you. So let's let's let's swerve now.

(10:30):
No Segway Best Segway right ed Martin uh He is
now His permanent confirmation as the US Attorney for the
District of Columbia was sabotage by of all people, some Republicans. Well,

(10:51):
that probably is going to turn out to be a
big mistake, although what's happened, in my opinion to Ed
more Car is probably a better place for him. He's
now in charge of something within the Department of Justice
called the Weaponization Working Group that was formed by the

(11:12):
Attorney General Pam Bondi in February, right after she took office,
now consistent with Trump's executive order back in January to
investigate the weaponization of federal agencies, especially the Department of Justice.
Ed Martin is now heading up that unit in DJ
to look into the weaponization, and he's bringing on board

(11:35):
with him experts in various lines of inquiry. Just again,
you go back to Pam Bondi's memo looking into January
sixth prosecution looking into Special Counsel Jack Smith's indictments, investigations
against the president. Of course he's doing all of that,
and there are others, the weaponization against MAGA supporters, MAGA voters.

(12:05):
We've heard the President bring this up the last few weeks,
discussing looking into those those potentially uh weapon is weaponized.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
Individuals. Let me rephrase that.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Trump brought up the idea that the Weaponization Group working
group WITHINDJ is looking into how some of these people
have been treated, the January sixth ers and others, and
now they're looking into potentially pardoning additional people who the
weaponization of DOJ under Biden may have affected. Adam fowkesberry Croft,

(12:45):
those two guys were convicted as a second trial in
August from three years ago, and so it's it's kind
of amazing to see the President talk about this, but
also to have shifted ed Martin from and Potato Potato,
US Attorney for the District of Columbia, great position. Great

(13:08):
guy for that, but the weaponization group within DOJ, great.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
Guy for that group too. So this is kind of.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
The Shoe Bomber, the Ted Kazinski, the surviving Sarnoff brother
responsible for the Boston marathon bombing. They're all incarcerated at supermax.
So these two guys that I just mentioned that are
convicted after a second trial are incarcerated at super max

(13:48):
right here in Colorado. Now this is where these legitimate,
really really bad guys are being housed, are incarcerated, or
like in the case of the Union Bomber was incarcerated.
So you have two men who were tracked by and
tracked by the FBI, found guilty at a second trial after
getting a hung jury in the first trial, where by
the way, that first trial, the Department of Justice and

(14:11):
what they considered at the time to be the biggest
domestic terror prosecution in generation before January sixth, had not
gotten a single conviction, which is pretty unheard of. But
because the evidence of FBI and Trapman was so overwhelming
that the government did not get a single conviction, two

(14:32):
men Brandon Caserta Daniel Harris, both found now guilty in
all charges. Adam foxberry Croft hung jury re tried convicted
on the second trial. I would argue because of the
judge and the judge's rulings and the case is still
being litigated. Now, what's going on in this game?

Speaker 4 (14:58):
In this.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
FBI and Trapment case. It after almost a year after
the oral arguments where hands like at least two of
the three judges on the appellate panel, we're going to
ask for a third trial and demanded that the jury
see hundreds of communications and messages between the FBI handlers

(15:22):
in this entrapment case and all the communications between their
informants and undercover employees. That may actually start coming out
to light based on this Weaponization Working Group. Now, this
is a wide ranging operation, the entrapmentw different FBI field offices,

(15:48):
dozens of agents, investigators, undercover employees, but most importantly involved
were the informants that stitched the group together and then
tried to trap them into talking about this stupid mission
to kidnap and kill Gretchen Whitmer. So the bottom line

(16:09):
is ED Martin's going to be investigating that, and I
think it's impossible to really grasp the depravity and the
corruption of the FBI without without understanding what really happened
in that case to entrap innocent men to make it
make them look like supporters of Donald Trump or you know,
members of right wing militias. They're all trying to plot

(16:31):
the kidnap and kill one of the biggest political rivals
right before the twenty twenty election. So that Weaponization Working
Group and Ed Martin are now going after them. So
I'll keep trying to get more information, especially about that
Appellate Court rually, but there are so many things going

(16:53):
on that are not really getting what I would call
to ball coverage, because I think the cabal itself is
beginning to worry that somehow, maybe not directly, but indirectly,
they're going to become complicit in this, just by very nature.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
Of what they didn't come.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
It's probac with the Tapper book original Sin, you knew
I told you everything I read in that book other
than the actual names, we're all kind of new so
Tapper uniew Then what did the cabal know about this
weaponization and not reveal?

Speaker 4 (17:33):
I think Ed Martin will reveal.

Speaker 6 (17:36):
Hey, Michael, I'm kind of putting two of your segments together.
But you know about this Colorado bag fee and then
also about the gray Wolf. I'm just curious. Do you
know if I bagged a gray wolf? Do you know
what the bag fee would be for that? I'm assuming
it's more than the King Super's bags, but I just

(17:56):
don't have any clarity on it.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Thanks, Well, you have to chop the wolf up because
the King Super plastic bags, Well, you can't get it.
What am I saying? You can't get a plastic bag?
So you're gonna have to order plastic bags off Amazon
like I do.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
You certainly don't want to use the paper bags because
all the blood and guts will just snow tear out.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah, and you're gonna have a dead wolf and then
the wolf police are gonna come and get you. So
just leave the wolves alone. And by the way, I
should probably explain why I didn't do the bag Fee
story this morning. It's too complicated. I went through my notes.
I need to go back and.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Edit.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Otherwise I'd be all over the place. Imagine that me
being all over the place chasing squirrels here and there.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
That helpens that ever happens.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
You know, why don't Why don't you just go ahead
and leave now? On't you just go ahead and and
and getting your stupid boat, giving your slow boat to
Korea and get over there, and and just you know what,
don't send me a picture, don't don't don't show me.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
I don't want to see you think about you once.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
Huh.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
I'm not even gonna think about you once.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
You'll think of me every day. You know.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
You'll be in a different time zone, but your body
will wake up at four am and you'll think that
son of a bitch, I hate his guts, and missus
Red Beer is gonna go what are you doing about
to sleep? It's I'm curious about something. Now, let's see

(19:36):
you know what time it is there. I think it's
it's twelve thirty five in the morning, Tokyo time. Yeah,
that sounds about right, Yeah, twelve thirty five tokyotime.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
Tomorrow it's it's Thursday already.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Thy yeah right.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Uh so I would just say, don't be texting me,
but maybe I'll start texting you. You come, I'll come
in here. See it'll be uh three and a half
hours ago, be about nine thirty or so. I'll wait.
I'll wait till the show's over, and then i'll text you,
which would be at one am. I'll text you and say, hey,

(20:09):
show's done, congratulations. A Rod did a great job. In fact,
a Rod did a better job.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
See, it ain't gonna happen because a Rod hate mornings.
I know he really just despite getting He's.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Made it very clear to me in the past how
much he hates getting up.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
I mean, he's really good at what he does. He's
very good at what He's never gonna willingly take this position.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
I can already play in my mind how tomorrow morning
is going to look like I'm gonna come in here.
He will not have turned the lights on, which actually
does drive me crazy. I have ever told you how
much I appreciate the fact you turn the lights on.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
I'm gonna stop doing it now.

Speaker 4 (20:54):
God, I hate your guns.

Speaker 5 (20:56):
Well that's what you get.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
Well, I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Because there's nothing worse than you know, you're still trying
to wake up, and you come in here and our
nasty nineteen seventy two fluorescent.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Lights are on, and our spot lights what do you
call them?

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Our rack lights are you know, it creates a third
world country.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
Lighting situation in the studio.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
But at least it's light, so I can at least
see what I'm doing, and I can set my stuff down.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
A rod never does.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
And I have to come in here, I have to
I have to fumble around and find the light switch.

Speaker 5 (21:36):
So and by the way, you have to flip a
light switcher too.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
And one of the light switches has been mad. And
listen to this.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
One of the light switches has been damaged for what
ten years probably, and it's you can actually cut your
finger on.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
That if you if you're not careful.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
See see I'm telling you. So that's why I appreciate
you turning the lights on, because you know, stupid ask me,
I'd be the one coming here and just flip it
and go, oh s.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
Word, now I'm bleeding everywhere. You know what?

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Maybe that was what I should do is just let it,
just let the blood just dry all over the console
and then Kelly will get all pistol.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
Are you gonna tell HR is not gonna care? We
don't have one?

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Have you done your have you done your training before
you leave?

Speaker 5 (22:21):
Yes? Yeah. As soon as I got it, was like, oh,
it's do oh when I'm gone, Okay, I better do
that now. Yeah, I just let it play in the background.
Is just waited for silence and then hit the next button,
just like I do in this show.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
What I tried to do is I tried to look
at the I do look at the questions and the
answers only because I want to see how blatantly they've
made the correct answers or how blatantly they've made the
incorrect answer.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
Hey. One of them was you know A is correct, answer,
B is correct? Answer C is absolutely wrong? D is
both A and B right. It was like, well, okay,
that's easy, easy, right.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
I know It's like duh, all right, Trump's borders are
Tom Homan has warned, as if we needed this but
nonetheless I appreciate him doing it. That Biden's open border
policies have created a national security threat, and he cites

(23:26):
the attack in Boulder. He was talking to Sean Hannity.
Homan expressed concerns over the danger posed by two million
known godaways who crossed the border under Biden, warning that, Hey,
you know what, we don't know who they are.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
We don't know where they came from.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
We don't know where they are, who they are, We
don't know the five ws about them?

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Who?

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Where we are? Why?

Speaker 3 (23:54):
And then he points directly to the attack and Boulder
where Mohammed Sawbury Solomon, an Egyptian national, an illegal alien
over status tourist visa, applied for asylum, didn't get asylum,
but got a work permit thanks to the Biden government.

(24:15):
Injured burned multiple people at a pro Israeli event using
molotov cocktails and what many referred to as a makeshift flamethrower,
which drives me crazy. How about a spray bottle filled
with I don't know, gas or alcohol or something and
you use that, you know, like you would you would

(24:37):
use a.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
Yeah, like you did when you were a teenager. I
mean allegedly did when I was a teenager.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Right, I'm proud to say that I only did that
maybe two or three times.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
Yeah, not in my bedroom in the middle of the night.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
Either, Oh you did? Did you really?

Speaker 5 (24:52):
You think of twelve thirteen year olds were really going
to think about how big is this fireball gonna be? Yeah?
Let me just do that one or two more times.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
So Homan criticizes Biden and the Democrats for allowing these
unvetted immigrants into the country and then granting them work permits,
claiming that such policies enable bad actors to sit here
and plan something bad. I got the greatest respect for
Tom Homan, but I've been saying that for decades, and

(25:25):
not just under Biden. Now, Biden exacerbated the problem. Biden
made it worse than anybody else. He then took aim
at congressional Democrats for showing up and protesting at the
detention centers, and of course, he mentioned La Monica MacIvor,
that dumbass congresswoman from New Jersey charged with assaulting law

(25:49):
enforcement at that facility. He emphasized the broader implications of
the failed border policies, but he did point out something
I think is worth really understand because much like things

(26:09):
I've talked about throughout the entirety of this program today, it's.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
Not going to change overnight. It's gonna take a while.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Tom. Let's get your first reaction, your first public comments
on this issue out in Colorado.

Speaker 7 (26:26):
You know me and me, and you've been talking about
this for years. So, I mean, I worked for the
network just before I came back to the second Trump administration,
and I've said over and over again, you know what
scares about the southern border, the sex trafficking right Scott High,
the Americans time from Patanhah, the people, you know, all
the drugs coming across, all the sex trafficking, all the

(26:49):
all the smuggling. And I said, what concerned me the
most was they created the biggest national security vulner believe
this country's ever seen. Not only did two million own
got aways, two million people across the border.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
We don't know who they are, where they came from,
We don't know where they are now.

Speaker 7 (27:06):
On top of that, even through the legal process the
Biden administration, we're bringing people unvetted, handing them out, handing
out work, feess like they're candy to while they sat
here and planned something bad. We are going to be
dealing with this for the next ten years because of
the chaos they created.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
In four years, and during those ten years, any number
of things can happen. We have Chinese nationals here, we
have Russian nationals, we have Middle Eastern nationals. We've got
groups from every known and even you know baby terrorist

(27:45):
organizations that are here.

Speaker 7 (27:47):
We're out there kicking butt, We're resting a lot of
criminal aliens.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
We're rather looking for the bad guy.

Speaker 7 (27:53):
And when we're rather doing that, Shong we got protesters
assaulting ICE officers. We've got members of Congress all of
the You're going to ICE facilities raising hell saying this
is your oversight responsibility. Where were there oversight responsibility when
ten point five million it wills came across the border,
where's the oversight responsibility?

Speaker 4 (28:11):
I'm releasing over eight million it'll go in.

Speaker 7 (28:13):
This is in this country. Where's the oversight responsibility? Then
this is attack on ICE, this attack on a Trump administration.
We're trying to fix the damage done by Biden.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
And it's going to take a long long time.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Well, today's last day we have Dragon for a while,
So I hope everybody enjoys what he does for us
and his humor. Dragon, you will be missed.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Oh bull crap.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
Why is she got to make it sound like I'm dying? Dragon,
You will be.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
Missed because I know what's going to happen.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Have you not read the stories about lover spats on
cruises and the spouse accidentally you know, here, honey, let
me hug you, and next thing you know, you're flopping
around in the ocean like a beached whale, trying to,
you know, get somebody to get your attention, and you know,
then you disappear into the South China Sea somewhere.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
You've not heard those stories.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
Missus Redbeard would never push me, yeh she very much
easily could easily could.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
And speaking of Missus Redbeard, I think she might have
some interest in this story, just as kind of a warning.
An eighty eight year old woman in this case it
would be you, however, was nearly buried alive after she
woke up inside a coffin. The pensioner was found seemingly
unresponsive by her husband. In this case, it would be

(29:34):
Missus Redbeard on Friday morning at their home in Pilson
in the Czech Republic, Assuming that she meaning he was dead.
Missus Redbeard called for emergency services, who promptly dispatched a
corner to the scene.

Speaker 5 (29:47):
You know, damn well, she ain't even yeah, he dead.
He's still snoring. No he did, No, he's.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
He's dead, and I went him out of the house.
I want that stinking, rotting, maggot infested body out of
the house as quickly as possible. She's gonna she's gonna
call the corner immediately. You just miss a breath, like
you just like you know, do one of those like
you know navy seal exercises where you hold your breath
for four seconds and breathe out for four seconds and

(30:15):
hold it for four seconds.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
You're gonna do that. She's gonna see, Oh he's not moving.
