From Autopen Scandals To A Fractured Party: What’s Breaking America’s Politics

We push past the Halloween jokes and dive into a week where a machine-signed signature could void pardons, a shutdown strangles paychecks, and a new AI encyclopedia challenges who writes the record. Along the way, we weigh a fractured Democratic Party, NYC’s high-stakes race, and Trump’s Pacific deals.

• Autopen use on legal documents and oversight gaps
• Where autopens belong and where they don’t
• Week five shutdown impacts on pay and safety
• EBT realities, misinfo, and store risk
• Welfare incentives vs community and church aid
• 2020 as a breaking point for Democrats
• NYC race, Mamdani eligibility debate, and stakes
• Trump’s Pacific trade, minerals, and peace accords
• China meeting signals and supply chain strategy
• Musk’s Grakipedia and the fight over facts

SPEAKER_00 (00:01):
It's the Alta Curto with Clay Note, serving up
trending news and conservativenews.
Brought to you by the AlphaCurve and Refuge Medical.
And now it's time for the show.

SPEAKER_04 (00:22):
Well, hey now.
What up, Clay?
How are you?
What is that from?
What's well hey now?
I feel like it's from something.

SPEAKER_11 (00:28):
I think that was the 90s band.
Was it Smash Mouth?

SPEAKER_04 (00:34):
Oh, yes, you're right.
Yeah.
Hey now.
Oh, we just, oh my gosh.
We just talked to, guys, justbefore we we started, we were
just talking about how badly wesing, and I just had the
audacity to start singing.
Ignore that, people.
You didn't hear it.
Nobody heard anything.

unknown (00:50):
No.

SPEAKER_02 (00:50):
There will be none of it.

SPEAKER_04 (00:51):
It is that bad.
It is that bad.
We both agree that we'reterrible singers.
And it doesn't stop either oneof us.
So whatever.
Whatever.
It's all good.
How you been, Clay?

SPEAKER_11 (01:00):
I'm I'm good.
Um, you know, it's uh busy timeof year for everybody.
Um, you know, we're approachingthe holidays, kids are getting
ready for fall breaks, and andthen, you know, Halloween is
just around the corner.
Are you a Halloween girl?
Are you?

SPEAKER_04 (01:14):
I am I am not.
I never have been, not even whenI was a kid.
I actually had such a strongaversion to Halloween that it it
became like psychosomatic typething.
Like I I was sick, I always gotsick on Halloween.
Like I I don't like to getscared.
And my mother loves scarymovies, like the scarier the

(01:36):
better.
So I was so traumatized as achild because now I'm date, I'm
you know, aging myself, datingmyself quite a bit here.
Like she would be out therewatching like Amneyville Horror
and uh Rosemary's Baby and likeall these things.
And I would hear from it, it wasa very small apartment when I
was a kid.
And I think I was so traumatizedby anything scary, and of

(01:56):
course, Halloween, people loveto jump out and scare you.
So uh strong aversion to it.
And now I I get to say, well,I'm a Christian, so I don't
really celebrate that.
It's because I'm a big chickenand I'm terrified, and this is
just bonus.
So long answer, I do not.
Do you guys?

SPEAKER_11 (02:15):
Um, no, I so as a kid, you know, um, Chicago was
always like it could be um 90 orit could be, you know, 32.
So there were a few Halloweenswith the Christmas coat or with
the a winter coat over thatcostume kind of thing.
There were plenty of uhHalloween's, you know, just

(02:35):
drowned in rain.
Um but um yeah, I I kind ofstopped doing the Halloween
thing.
Like, you know, when I was inthe army, they the the military
would do a great job.
We I'd say I'm fairly confidentthe military is who invented the
trunk or treat um concept, whichis great for little kids.

SPEAKER_02 (02:54):
It really is.

SPEAKER_11 (02:55):
But honestly, I think, you know, so many local
places now are like we're notwe're not trick or treating on
Halloween.
You're doing it on Thursday oryou're doing it on on whatever
random day that they select, andI think that kind of takes away
from it.
And I am way over scary movies,like I just it's not a thing
anymore.
So, you know, I I'm definitelymore of a turn the lights off on

(03:20):
Halloween and sit in thebasement or the back of the
house and not answer the doorwhen kids come.
So maybe if there's a thing as aHalloween Grinch, I might be
that guy.

SPEAKER_04 (03:30):
Yeah, yeah.
I'm right there with you.
I I'm getting more and moreconfident, Clay, that you and I
are like twins separated atbirth by a few couple few years.
No, no.
Oh no, no, yeah, I um I just Ican't do it.
Do you remember those Halloweencostumes from when we were kids,

(03:51):
like those plastic, nastyplastic masks?

SPEAKER_11 (03:54):
The plastic mask with the with the elastic
stapled in that five minutesafter putting it on would snap
out.
Yeah, yeah.
I remember those.

SPEAKER_04 (04:03):
Oh, they were so awful.
And if you were so blessed tohave an older brother, he would
come up and stick his fingerright in the back of that
elastic and just snap it rightat the back of your head and you
start crying.

SPEAKER_11 (04:14):
An older sister would also do that.

SPEAKER_04 (04:16):
Oh, so it's just older siblings thing.
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_11 (04:20):
You guys really Gen X is claustrophobic, those
masks.
All of Gen X has aclaustrophobia and it comes from
those Halloween masks.

SPEAKER_04 (04:29):
Yeah, I think you're absolutely right.
I can even, as we're talkingabout it, I can even remember
the smell of that plastic.

SPEAKER_11 (04:37):
Try to breathe through that little mouth.

SPEAKER_04 (04:39):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And you're literally like, yeah.
So bad.
Oh, yeah.
I feel re-traumatized all overagain.
So yeah, uh, guys, we want toknow from you.
Celebrate this uh holiday.
We'll call it.
I do celebrate the candy though.
Like, I'll buy all that candyand pretend like I'm gonna do
it, but I I don't.

(05:00):
I don't at all.
Oh, Clinton, we got a lot ofstuff.
We've got a great show foreverybody.
Uh, topics that we did notexpect to be still talking
about, yet we are.
Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_01 (05:12):
They said he was running the country.
Turns out it might have been apen.
Washington's fifth week ofshutdown proves politicians love
their paychecks more than yours.
While DC fights trumped in thePacific making real deals,
alliances, minerals, and muscle.
Back home, a New York candidatefor citizenship comes under
fire.
At the border, heist and patrolfinally tighten the reins, and

(05:35):
the left, still trying to figureout when their big tent turned
into a divided house.
Oh, and there's a new AI kid onthe block ready to rival
Wikipedia.
Now it's time for the show.

SPEAKER_04 (05:47):
They said that he was running the country.
It turns out it was a pen heldby some staffers, and maybe even
his Cokehead son, allegedly, uh,or his elder-abusing wife,
allegedly.
Um, yeah, I guess what we aretalking about, my friends.
Yeah, we're back on that autopen because it's um it's still a

(06:07):
conversation.
It's become more of aconversation because uh House
Oversight Chair James Comer hasdropped that report on uh DOJ on
the DOJ's desk, uh, alleging theBiden-era uh executive actions,
including the the pardons and umwhatever else, were all executed
by auto pen by we don't knowwho.

(06:30):
Or maybe we do.

SPEAKER_11 (06:31):
Yeah, I we I know we talked about this way back when,
um, but an auto pen, it stillbaffles me that people don't
understand that an autopen is anactual physical um it's a
machine, right?
That it's code, there's an entrycode to unlock it.
Um, it logs in the all thesignatures, but it is literally
a machine that holds a pen thatyou put a document in and you

(06:53):
push the buttons and it signs apre-programmed signature.
Um, so when they say autopen, itis literally an auto pen.
Um but yeah, so it's come up uhwith more detail that the auto
pen in President Biden's officewas used by people, not him, and
also not authorized by him.
Um and so, you know, as somebodywho managed one of these things

(07:16):
and had a code for one for amulti-star general for a little
over a year, um, they they aretightly as well they should be
tightly managed.
And clearly the one in the OvalOffice was not being tightly
managed.
And my understanding is thatwhen they put the timeline, this
is what really cracked all ofthis.
When they put the timeline ofsome of the signatures against

(07:38):
the timeline of PresidentBiden's travel, there was the
well, he wasn't even in thecountry when those were signed.
That doesn't mean that therewasn't authorization given by
him, but it did put everythingunder scrutiny.
And as soon as that became, youknow, apparent, um, the scrutiny
got tighter and now we are wherewe are.

SPEAKER_04 (07:58):
Oh, yes.
So question number one for you,Clay.
Uh, do you think that uh theautopen should be used like
period at all?
Should should we not have uhthat as an option?

SPEAKER_11 (08:11):
I think there should be clear stipulations on what it
is used for, like what legally,like there should be a a
statute, a law, something youknow, on the books that says you
can use it for and you cannotuse it for.
And I think more importantly,you cannot use it for like that
specific list, should be very,very clear.
Um you can use it for, like,listen, there's the president's

(08:36):
signature is on a lot of things,and a lot of like, hey, thanks
for coming to the White House,you know, thanks for being a
visitor, hey, here's aninvitation to an event.
Like, if you want to put thepresident's signature on those
kinds of non-legally bindingdocuments, whether certificates
of appreciation or things ofthat nature, fine.
That saves any president, anyadministrative person, you know,

(08:57):
the the chore of sitting attheir desk for hours on end and
signing them.
I have no problem with that.
Um, and in fact, when I manageone, that is primarily what we
use them for for my boss.
Um, we use the autopen for.
Now, when it comes to legaldocuments, absolutely not.
I think they're it should be, Ithink it should be put on the

(09:17):
books.
It is illegal to use it for allof the things that it seems to
use it for.
Pardons, for executive orders,for all of these things.
Any legally binding documentshould not be allowed to have an
autopen, period.

SPEAKER_04 (09:30):
It feels like such common sense, right?
I mean, you're talking aboutthis is this, these are a big
deal.
We're talking about, you know,pardons, we're talking about
legal matters here that affect alot of different things.
So it just seems like such amatter of course that that's the
way it would be.
Like I get, I get everybodyshould be able to get the whole
like the tediousness of havingto sign all of those things you

(09:51):
were talking about.
And absolutely a greatopportunity to use an auto pen
for that.
Um, but yeah, absolutely.
Legal documentation, that shouldbe not only should that be
signed by hand by the president,it should always be recorded.
Like there should be, you know,we should be able to see them
signing it, like put that cameraright above their head so you

(10:13):
can see that whole process.
I mean, why not make ittransparent?
Be transparent.
That's not a complicatedconcept.
It seems to be when it comes tothe Biden administration, of
course.
Um, I have another question foryou, and I don't know if you
know the answer.
I literally just was wonderingit what do we know what other
presidents uh if and who used anauto pen for that same type of

(10:35):
thing?

SPEAKER_11 (10:35):
I I would imagine I I haven't seen anything that
says one way or the other, but Iwould imagine he's not his
presidency, his administrationis not the first one to use it
for legal documents.

SPEAKER_02 (10:46):
Okay.

SPEAKER_11 (10:46):
I would imagine it's probably been done, been used by
by other presidents in the past,as long as autopens, which is
quite a long time actually.
It's not technology.
Um, but I I would say that youknow, there's supposed to be a
log that goes with it, right?
Yes.
And and it says, you know, theauto pen was used for um, you

(11:08):
know, on this date, authorizedby, utilized by kind of thing,
and it should all be logged forevery single signature.
Um and as soon as there isn'taccountability for that, then
then you have a significantproblem.
Um I I don't know I I think thishas a lot more to do with uh the

(11:28):
abuse of it relative toPresident Biden's mental decline
uh than anything else.
I I think, you know, you go backto any other president, and we
can say whether it's PresidentTrump, President Obama,
President Bush, right?
Just go back those three.
And you say, did they use anauto pen?
I'm sure that they did.
Did they use it for legaldocumentation?

(11:49):
I'm sure that they did.
But I also believe that everyone of them had the cognitive
ability to authorizespecifically the use of the auto
pen to sign to put theirsignature on something.
I think the point of contentionis that President Biden may or
may not have had that cognitiveability, and his staff clearly

(12:10):
abused the fact that he didn't.
Um that's really what I think isis up for debate.
And I think it's what the DOJ orthe House Oversight Committee
who forwarded this to the DOJand gave it to Pam Bondi and
said, we need to really pursuelegal action on this.
Now, the people that it reallyis, I think are is being focused

(12:31):
on are all of the Biden familypardons, the preemptive pardons,
right?
You remember we talked aboutthis, the preemptive pardons
were the ones that drew a lot ofattention.
The entire Biden family, Fauci,General Milley, and a handful of
others who hadn't committed acrime, hadn't even been at the
time accused of a crime or evenindicted of a crime, but had
been given a preemptive pardon.

(12:52):
And I think that is uh where alot of this is going to focus.
And I think a lot of that, youknow, guys like Adam Schiff, um,
you know, and others who I thinkare also on that list.
Um I I think they're all that'swhere the focus is at right now.
Um, and and it's I can't believethat nine months, 10 months
past, we're we're still talkingabout this.

(13:13):
But evidently there's enoughevidence out there for that
House Oversight Committee tokick it to the attorney general
um and say we we need to diginto this for reels.

SPEAKER_04 (13:22):
Yeah, I tend to think that it took that long
because they were making sureevery eye was dotted and every
right.
I mean, you absolutely have to.
And and I'm sure Pam Bondi said,Don't bring it to me until you
have something ironclad, becauseI, you know, I don't want to
have to reject it.
Okay, because that's gonna opena whole new, you know, shit
storm.
Excuse my language, guys.

(13:42):
Um, but yeah, you know, that'llbe like Epstein 2.0.
Why won't Pam Bondi prosecute?
You know, why won't you goafter, oh, she's in their
pocket?
So um, yeah, I I think that's aand this is gonna go to the
Supreme Court, uh, guaranteed.

SPEAKER_11 (13:56):
So I again I think your instinct of it better be
right the first time, um,because what you don't want is
something like this to go intothe legal process for legal
review and potentially um, youknow, for legal action and have
it be thrown out on anadministrative technicality.
Like that's the worst thing thatcould happen.

SPEAKER_04 (14:16):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
And and listen, you know,there's always there's always
and they're you know pretty muchgonna be from the left that that
are gonna say, oh, all this timeis passed, the man is uh you
know ill and elderly and all ofthese things, let it go.
No, no, the people that werepardoned probably should be
charged criminally.
So uh they did a unexcusableamount of damage to this

(14:41):
country, and I want to see themheld accountable or you know, at
least uh have the light shinedon them, and we can find out
what level of accountability andwhat really happened and who
really did what.
So I am all for this, uh, 100%all for this getting pursued the
way that it is.
And I I hope it hope it goes toall the next steps, which to me

(15:01):
next steps would be, you know,obviously to the Supreme Court,
and then they're gonna have todecide, you know, what's getting
what, if anything, is gettingvoided, you know, what pardons
are gonna get voided, and theyshould be.
They simply should be gone,done.

SPEAKER_11 (15:14):
Yeah, and listen, folks, this is the the one
person who's not gonna get introuble over this, truthfully,
is president.
Because if they determine thathe was mentally incapacitated,
he was incapable of making thesedecisions, then he can't be held
accountable for the decisions,right?
Right, right.
The people who are gonna getheld accountable for this are
his staff, his, as you mentionedup front, his son, his wife,

(15:37):
potentially, because now we knowthat they were in the office
when this was these things arebeing discussed, probably his
chief of staff, his aides acrossthe White House, those folks who
were in the office, in the OvalOffice doing this, those are the
people that are gonna be heldaccountable.
Um and then, like you said, voiduh the decisions that were made,
which I I think is actually moreimportant than holding the

(15:59):
people accountable who tookadvantage of the situation.
Right I think you know, makingsure that we void those actions
and allow justice to take placewhen it needs to for people like
the Biden family, Hunterspecifically, and his brother,
uh, as well as um, you know,probably Fauci and some others.
So um listen, folks, this is notover.

(16:20):
I think you're we're gonna hearabout this for a little while
because, you know, as Elsa said,the the the Pam Bondi decision
on how she's gonna handle thisand how quickly uh is gonna see
how long that this this takesand how long it drags out.

SPEAKER_04 (16:32):
Yeah, absolutely.
And that will start, you know,pending the results of that, uh,
that has the potential to starta whole uh snowball effect of
things, you know, because thenthe next question is gonna be
okay, so he was he's beendetermined to have not been um
having his faculties about himto make these decisions.
So these decisions are void.

(16:52):
What else should be void herethat he you know he made
decisions on?
And um, yeah, it's gonna be veryinteresting to see what happens.
I'll I'll be watching it veryclosely for sure.

SPEAKER_11 (17:06):
Okay.
Um, week five.
Week five, folks.
I cannot believe that we're hereat week five.
I can't believe that.
Week five of government shutdownuh is uh officially is today,
starts week five, so four fourfull weeks, and and really, you
know, the significance of thisweek is we are now into the
no-pay world for federalworkers, right, um, the military

(17:32):
itself, um, air trafficcontrollers, uh, et cetera, et
cetera.
Um, and we are no closer, itseems, to finding a solution
than we were in week four, weekthree, and all the way back to
week one.

SPEAKER_04 (17:44):
Yeah, the the Schumer shutdown is now even
getting uh some flack fromDemocrats from their own side.
Now they're saying, all right,you know what, enough.
Just just fix this.
We have the uh the largest uhunion of federal employees,
that's the American Federationof Government Employees, which
represents over 800,000 workers,are demanding that Democrats

(18:09):
swallow the uh Republicans'clean CR to reopen the
government, and basicallysaying, get the government open,
figure out all the stuff afterthat, which is what the
Republicans have been saying allalong, like pass this clean, you
know, uh resolution here andlet's go.
And then we can talk about allof these things, but let's get
our people paid and and move on.

(18:31):
And and the, you know, Schumerand and his clonies are all
saying, nope, nope, not gonna doit.
Don't care about Americans,don't care about our federal
workers, and and oh, by the way,don't care about those snap EBT
pays either.

SPEAKER_11 (18:48):
Yeah, that seems to be that seems to be one of the
biggest uproars this week uhacross social media.
Some of it mildly entertaining,a lot of it pretty disturbing.
Um, but you know, that the movethat's happening right now is
that crowd, the EBT, uh, youknow, folks on on government
assistance and their reaction tothis.
Now, I I've seen a couple ofdifferent things, and and I will

(19:11):
tell you, in all honesty, bothsides of this discussion, both
parties are have shown thatthey're misrepresenting what's
going on in this.
And I say that in, you know, sothe EBT crowd has turned this
into well, if I don't get myEBT, I'm gonna go rob Walmart.
They can't catch us all.
Like there was actually a call,I think it's for tomorrow.

(19:32):
Uh oh, by the way, folks, todayis the 30th.
We are recording at our normaltime, 4:30 on the East Coast.
So we're about uh 450 right now,um, the day before Halloween.
So you'll be watching this onright?
Halloween is Halloween?

SPEAKER_04 (19:45):
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Yeah, oh my gosh.
No, wait, no.
Yeah, the girl.

SPEAKER_02 (19:51):
Yeah, whatever.

SPEAKER_11 (19:53):
Show on Thursday.
Regardless, there's a call, Ithink it is on the 30th, maybe,
um, at 6:30 p.m.
nationwide, that people will gointo their local stores, grocery
stores, specifically Walmart, Ithink has been targeted.
Um, and they're gonna go inthere, they're gonna fill up
their buggies, buggies I keptseeing used, which is clearly a
regional thing.

SPEAKER_12 (20:12):
Yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_11 (20:13):
And then and then just walk out.
And the sentiment is they can'tstop all of us.
Um but these individuals havedecided that they are entitled
to this uh you know foodprogram, and they're just gonna
take what they need.
Now, Walmart, folks, Walmarthasn't done anything.
Walmart is gonna be a a veryinterested uh but innocent

(20:33):
bystander in all this who'sgonna get taken advantage of.

SPEAKER_02 (20:36):
Right.

SPEAKER_11 (20:36):
Um, and they have done nothing wrong.
Like this isn't on Walmart, butI think they're gonna bear the
brunt of it.
Now, I I did see on Newsmax avery conservative, uh, you know,
and I don't remember the guy'sname, but he was misrepresenting
the the EBT, the food stampprogram, in the sense that he
was saying, okay, well, youknow, 50% of Afghan immigrants

(21:00):
are on EBT.
46% of, and I'm and thesenumbers are in the ballpark, but
they're not exactly, you know,46% of Iraqi uh immigrants are
on EBT.
You know, 52% of Ugandan uhimmigrants are on EBT.
So he's using these, like theselarge percentage numbers, and he
made it sound like you know, theAmerican government was funding
tens of thousands of immigrants.

(21:22):
The reality, folks, is that 90%of the people who are on food
stamps and EBT are Americancitizens.
Okay?
Yeah.
That last 10% that this guy ismisrepresenting are non, you
know, non-American uhnon-citizens who are on the
program.
So, you know, the vast majorityof people being affected by this
are in fact Americans.

(21:42):
Like, let's not turn this intoan illegal immigrant.
There's enough issue with thegovernment shutdown that has to
do with illegal immigrants.
EBT is not necessarily one ofthem.
Okay.
These are Americans who needthese programs.
And I will tell you that thereare service members and their
families who are already on EBTfood stamps um on a normal
paycheck month, let alone nowthey're not getting any

(22:03):
paychecks.
Um so you know, there's somethere's some significant issues
right now with with EBT uh andthey're hitting this month.
And it's uh things are gonna bethings are gonna be dicey out
there, folks.
Um I I think across the board inany any store that sells food
items normally accepts EBT.

(22:23):
Right.

SPEAKER_04 (22:24):
Yeah, and you know, there's I I've seen them too,
Clay, and there's plenty ofconversations that can be had
about the abuses of the welfaresystem and the EBT SNAP program
and all of this.
Those are very, very validconversations.
Um, but you know, you do have tohave something of a heart for
people who are truly in aposition uh where they need it.

(22:44):
So we have to be careful.
Uh, I don't mean you and Inecessarily, um, I don't mean
you and I at all, actually, inthis particular case.
Uh, but we as a society need tobe very careful about making
blanket statements about a wholepopulation of people um who are
in need of assistance.
Um, my my issue, and I think allof our issues should be with the

(23:05):
welfare system um of how brokenand disruptive it really is and
truly not helpful to people inneed.
But you know, although we talk,you know, this conversation has
been had so many times about uhthe difference between a hand up
and a handout, and our welfarewelfare system is a handout.
It's it's become, I don't, I'dlike to believe there was never
designed to be this.

(23:26):
I question that my mistrust ofgovernment uh, you know, at this
stage of life makes me kind ofsay this very cautiously when I
say, I would hope that the, I'llsay it like this, I would hope
that the intention was to be ahand up and not a handout to,
you know, control portions ofthe population.
Um, but you know, that is thecase.
When we're talking about thewelfare system, that is the

(23:48):
case.
When you control the um when youcontrol the the food, their
resources, you control thepeople.
So you shut that down for themand they can't access it.
This is what's gonna happen.
You know, this is the mentalitythat you'll see from a portion
of that population, you know,who's abusing the system.
The people who aren't abusingthe system, technically, listen,

(24:10):
if you've got kids' mouth tofeed, children in particular to
feed, you're gonna do what yougot to do to feed your baby.
So um they they need to fix thisand they need to do it really,
really fast.
And this is, you know, yetanother thing that is putting
another nail in the coffin thatwas and is the Democrat Party,
right?

SPEAKER_11 (24:30):
Yeah, and so you know, there's a couple of things
going on.
You know, we hit we hit the EBTcrowd.
I I kind of touched on even thethe military folks, and and uh
listen, I I've I've blasted outand we've talked about you know,
sec death, sec war, whatever youwant to call them now, Hexit.
This is an opportunity for himto solve this part of this
problem for the militaryfamilies.

(24:51):
Okay.
And I said this there aremilitary families that even on a
normal paycheck month are ongovernment, you know, assistance
programs.
Like you've got a young uh youknow, couple with a couple of
kids and they're lower enlistedfolks, they're not making a lot
of money uh on a normal monthand they're on government
assistance.
Now they're not even gettingpaid by the military.

(25:12):
And just so people understand,if you're a single service
member and you're living in thebarracks, okay, you get a meal
card to go eat in the chow hall,okay?
So that's part of your monthly,you know, you go and and you get
paid, you know, it's it's inyour check.
They don't even touch it.
Um, you just go in and andyou're in the chow hall.

(25:33):
Families and and you know, folkswho live off the base, they get
a subsistence in their paycheckfor food.
Um, but if they're not gettingpaid, they're not getting that.
So what I said, what Irecommended uh was that sec war,
sec death hexif, whatever hewants to be called, open up the
chow halls to all the militaryfamilies and allow them to run a

(25:56):
tab until this is over with thatwould allow service members to
and their families to eat umreally three squares a day.
Uh and then uh and then afterit's over with, they can either
settle a tab or do whatever hedecides to do.
I think you should just throw itaway.
But regardless, there's asolution there.
Everybody else, though, likeeverybody else who is on food
stamps and subsistence, youknow, government uh assistance

(26:18):
programs, there's no solutionout there uh for the folks that
really, really need it, otherthan churches.
Yeah, and listen, I know you'rea Christian and I know that you
spend a lot of time, right?
And and churches used to be thehub for charity, not the
government, right?
It came from churches, it camefrom goodwill of just people
trying to be good human beings,and and has since been replaced

(26:41):
in a lot of in a lot of ways bythe government.
I think we need to kind ofrelook that.
I think there's food pantriesout there that you know probably
could use some donations rightnow that people need to lean on.
I think there's some other othercharity programs not government
affiliated that we need to getto.
Um, and and I think those can besome of the solutions for this.
But listen, folks, this um, youknow, air traffic controllers

(27:04):
you expect some flu thisweekend.
They are now not getting paid.
You've got, as you said, Elsa,that you know, all these federal
workers aren't getting paid,federal law enforcement is not
getting paid.
Um, you've got a lot of folksout there doing a lot of things
that are not getting paid.
And folks, there's no mistakehere.
This is the Democrats doingthis.
King Jeffries has made, he saidit today, you know, we have a we

(27:27):
have a floor that we're notgoing below.

SPEAKER_12 (27:30):
Right?

SPEAKER_11 (27:30):
So he has put a hard line and said, we will not vote,
we will not open the governmentagain until we, you know, until
the Republicans come up to whereour baseline meant.
So they're not even negotiating,they're not even open to
discussion, with the exceptionof a few, including Federman.
Um they are the ones that areholding this up.
And there are a lot ofpoliticians out there that are
saying, and and don't mistakethis, folks, just because

(27:52):
there's a Republican in theWhite House, they control the
Senate, they control the House,and they control quote unquote
control the Supreme Court, thatdoesn't mean that they can do
this without uh you know helpfrom the Democrats.
This has to be both parties inthe middle of this.
You can't just blame Republicansfor this because the president
can't fix this.
As much as everybody wants tosay orange man bad, and blame it

(28:14):
on President Trump, this this isnot it.
He can't fix this.

SPEAKER_04 (28:18):
No.
No, you know, uh all of thistalk from uh from the Democrats
blaming um you know Trump,namely, and uh the GOP for this.
Um you you all are the onesholding this up.
You know, the the Republicansare not saying we're not gonna
discuss this ever.

(28:40):
They're saying we're gonna putthis, this is on the table for
discussion, but we need to getthe government open.
We need to have this open totake care of our of our people
here, and then we can discussit.
But we're not gonna be bulliedinto throwing a bunch of BS in
there that doesn't belong inthere.
Um, you know, we're not butwe're not gonna cower down to
you essentially holding theAmerican people hostage.

(29:02):
It's not acceptable.
We don't we don't negotiate withuh terrorists, right?
I mean, that's our thing.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 (29:08):
So yeah, it's folks, just you know, for for the rest
of the world, for the rest ofus, the rest of America, um,
just be aware that it is gonnaget dicey in some food places
over the next few days and pothopefully not, but a few weeks
potentially.
So um, you know, if you if youcan uh avoid those locations.
Um, but obviously a lot ofpeople can't.

(29:29):
So just be aware of yoursurroundings when you go into
grocery stores, Walmart, placeslike that, because the amount of
crime uh is about to increasesignificantly.
So just be aware of yoursurroundings.

SPEAKER_04 (29:41):
Yep.
That is excellent advice and uhvery worthwhile advice because
it is it's gonna be a thing thatthe more we go into this, the
more desperate people get.
And and it's not, you know, soyou have that, right?
You have the the more people uhget desperate, legitimately.
Uh you also have the ones thatare gonna take advantage.
advantage like the ones we weretalking about in all those

(30:01):
videos.
They're just gonna takeadvantage of the situation.
They they've got food.
They're fine.
They're totally fine.
They're just gonna takeadvantage of the situation and
they're just gonna loot, youknow, loot stores just because.

SPEAKER_11 (30:12):
Just because they this is the um you know the
George Floyd riots, you know,for racial equality that turned
in, you know, stealing LouisVuitton.
Right.
Yeah exactly.

SPEAKER_04 (30:23):
Right.
And and the proof of that isgoing to be, you know, the the
handful of guys running out ofum Walmart with you know flat
screen TVs.
Right.
And not steaks, you know, not uhyou know not some boxes of
cereal.
Nope.
I don't know how you're gonnaeat that that flat screen but
you know uh enjoy I guess so youknow we already know we already

(30:44):
know exactly what's gonna happenhere.
And um you know all of the allof the innocent law abiding good
humans out there are the onesthat are just suffering for all
this it's so it's so frustratingand so maddening.
I I can't even um since we'retalking about the Democrats you
want to move on to that oneShimon okay uh let's talk about

(31:05):
was 2020 the breaking point ofthe Democrat Party what do you
think?

SPEAKER_11 (31:09):
Yeah I I believe it is I a little bit of
introspection over the last fewdays and I was trying to go back
you know I've been watching umspecifically the the couple of
races that are going on rightnow and you're talking Virginia
governor um you're talking NewYork City mayoral and those are
the two big headline ones thatwe're gonna talk about New York
City in a little bit but um youknow you go back to 2020 uh and

(31:33):
so President Trump looking forreelection just to set the stage
for everybody and the Democratscould not get a viable candidate
if so think back folks rememberthis they couldn't get a viable
candidate and so they grabbedJoe Biden and if you remember he
didn't even campaign he came inlate right he sat in his

(31:54):
basement he barely campaigned umso you know he was forced in you
know there was some shenanigansthat went on you know there was
a divided opinion we'vePresident Obama has been
documented as saying you knowdon't put it past Joe and his
ability to F things up orwhatever the quote is oh yeah he
was not a fan right and theyneeded someone um and so it was

(32:17):
it was Biden and then it was youknow the DEI hire of your your
buddy Kamala and and then it wasthe eighty one million votes
yeah yeah we can call it thegraphic for that right right 81
million votes everybody's seenit now just keep in context
eight years no four years beforethat pre eight years before that

(32:41):
President Obama was one of themost popular presidents he was
their superstar in modernhistory yes when he was elected
for his second term not hisfirst term his second term 66
million votes right and then JoeBiden Joe Biden who didn't
campaign stayed in his basementgot 15 million more votes um for

(33:03):
that presidential election umand then so he got elected and
then it became law fair rightthe goal was not the goal was to
make sure that Trump or anyspecifically Trump could not run
again in 2024.
Right that was the goal yes itwasn't even about retain it was
about making sure Trump couldn'trun it was all of the lawsuits

(33:24):
it started off with theMar-a-Lago raid it's all of
those things and then you startto have the splinters you
started to have the squad becamemore and more prevalent right
and and Bernie Sanders and hishe you know his socialism that
he's been trying to push for thelast 30 years is got got a
little um but I I think 2020 andthat election and Joe Biden

(33:47):
going into the White House wasthe breaking point for the
Democratic Party in that it'sall hardline left.

SPEAKER_04 (33:55):
Yeah yeah oh absolutely they this this is
truly the uh you know momdaniopenly calls himself a so uh
democratic socialist like that'sthat's the term that they use
and as we know of course Bernieis you know that's long time
been been his thing and you knowthe the the the term democrat

(34:16):
socialist is the most one of themost annoying things you could
ever hear if you're a thinkingperson, right?
Like everybody knows what theseterms mean and they what
everybody was thinking andpaying attention.
There is nothing good whatsoeverthat can has or will ever come
from socialism.
So what do they do?
They slap another word on itlike well everybody we love

(34:37):
being a Democrat so fordemocratic socialist that's
different.
No it's not different.
It's not different you're justadding a word to soften it and
make it sound more attractive toa population that maybe would
have still had the sense torecoil at the word socialist
because they understood whatthat actually means.

(34:58):
You know so now you have thisthis whole group and like you
said they they are running theshow they have taken over the
party they are the voice of theparty and anyone you know your
your your mama's Democraticparty you know doesn't exist
anymore.
They those people still exist.
They're still alive they'restill you know wandering around
scratching their heads like whathappened and not understanding

(35:19):
that they lost their party it'sgone and it's I don't think it's
ever coming back.
I mean you basically would haveto completely rebrand and I mean
that would take you know adecade if not longer.

SPEAKER_11 (35:31):
And listen I I know folks are going to talk about
you know President Obama beingthe the the president or the
administration of of divisionright that that that's not this
right we're that's divisionbetween Republicans and
Democrats right you've got youknow the next kind of step was
Russia gate.
That's dirty politics okay andand politics is always dirty

(35:53):
that was just very blatantlydirty politics.
Yeah America has always takenstuff like that you know and you
could go back to Watergate andAmerica as a whole looks at that
and American politicians look atthat and they go that was that
was too far and the pendulumswings back.
Right right there has been noswing back of the pendulum since

(36:14):
2020.
None in fact it's gotten worse.
I was just gonna say it's gottenso much worse and I and I think
that specifically the electionof 2020 you know followed by the
election of 2024 where Bidenbowed out late they put Kamala
in there with zero electoralvotes truthfully you know um

(36:34):
zero choice by the public youknow now you're now we're
hearing through some of thebooks uh that are coming out
that President Obama did notendorse didn't want to endorse
Kamala Harris um Nancy Pelosi uhthey supposedly had a secret
meeting neither one of them wasgoing to endorse Kamala Harris
and then when Joe Biden did iton stage Nancy said hey that you

(36:54):
know the horse is out of thebarn and she did it too and
supposedly Obama called her upand said what the F did you just
do so there's a lot offracturing going on within the
Democratic Party and the peoplewho are taking advantage of it
are the squad people like TomDonnie rightries and all the
rest of these folks and you'reright I don't think it's there's

(37:15):
it's irreparable at this point.
I I there's no and there's novoice in the future that any of
us have seen in the Democraticparty because it's not Newsom
it's not Pritzker it's not anyof those you know any of the up
and comers quote unquote heromaybe but doubtful that could
bring the Democratic party backtogether and back to reality

(37:36):
back to a rational thoughtprocess.
I think they're I think it'sthey're gone.

SPEAKER_04 (37:40):
They're gone because they're all you know for the
most part they're all older thisis the whole crop of young
bloods that are are are in nowand they are they're running
with it.
I mean obviously Bernie's theexception to that he's just
hanging on for dear life that'sbut you know the the only one
and again anytime I bring upthis guy's name I'm always like

(38:01):
I can't even believe I'm usingthis guy in a positive light in
any way shape or form but youknow the only one um that's
that's notable talking any sensethat people actually pay a
little attention to is Fettermanjust so bizarre to me but even
still he just doesn't have whatit takes.
He's not a good speaker.

SPEAKER_11 (38:20):
And they're trying to vote him out like exactly of
course him in Pennsylvania rightnow right on the next they're
already campaigning against himthe Democrats are of course out
of office because he has gone socentrist and even so much more
to the right um so even when youdo have someone who is willing
to cross the aisle willing tonegotiate willing to you know

(38:40):
move forward with progress theywant him out because it's all
it's become an extremistmovement and that's where
they're at.
And so even Cuomo who we'rewe're both saying is the lesser
of two really evil options forNew York City um is is I saw him
in an interview today.
He was saying if you know if momdon he's using spear in his own

(39:04):
party now the fracturing he wassaying if mom Dani wins New York
then Trump is going to rolltanks down Main Street and take
over the city by force becausehe's going to use Mam Dani as an
excuse.
So now you've got this fracturedinfighting inside of the
Democrats you know that they'renow going against each other.

(39:26):
So there it's pretty broken andI don't see a fix.
I certainly don't see a fix by2028 no no I agree.

SPEAKER_04 (39:34):
No they um I my goodness I I wish I had the
crystal ball to see what's goingto happen here but um the this
party has the Democrat Party hashas completely shifted and
changed and uh again I I fullybelieve that they are not
getting that party back.
Um I I don't see it happening.
Again if it's gonna happen it'syou know you got a decade if not

(39:57):
longer before that can happenbecause they just have too much
steam they have too muchfinancial backing from very
nefarious deep pocket peopleright um and who want to see
this happen.
And you know they these arepeople who have been playing and
I've talked about this beforeright we've talked about this
they played the long game.

(40:17):
This is decades in the makingand we were asleep at the wheel
we weren't paying attention weweren't taking it serious enough
we believe that we had enough umpatriots patriotism you know
people and then you had all ofthe illegal immigrants coming
through and it's a deep deephole in the Democrats that once

(40:39):
existed just don't have thesteam to dig out of this.

SPEAKER_11 (40:43):
They just don't they don't yeah the Kennedy the
Kennedy Democrats are gone.

SPEAKER_04 (40:46):
They're gone they're gone end of a a sad tragic crash
and burn ending of an era forsure.
And since we were bringing upmom dying we must uh we might as
well go right into that rightyeah Clay was laughing at me
because I actually when I put inour little headings there I put
it in twice he's like you mustreally want him to get deported
huh yeah I do yeah that would benice that would be good so I
listen I don't know I don't knowif there's going to be any steam

(41:09):
to that whatsoever but um youhave two House Republicans uh
are asking the DOJ DOJ to reviewum Mamdani's naturalization
they're citing potentialomissions talk of
denaturalization uh anddeportation so that's the
conversation there you knowlet's let's call it what it is
they are trying to find anythingthat they can to get this guy

(41:32):
out because he is a genuinelegitimate risk to not only New
York City but the whole countryreally um so yeah I mean that's
their that's what they're tryingto do.

SPEAKER_11 (41:44):
I don't I mean what do you think are they gonna so
he's he's born in Uganda he's adual citizen he's born in Uganda
he's got uh still still to thisday has dual citizenship with
Uganda and the United States umhis mother even said in a I read
this today in a in an interviewuh that he doesn't even consider
himself an American he considershimself a Ugandan now this she

(42:07):
said this a number of years agobut she did say it in an
interview um that he didn'tconsider himself an American he
considers him because he wasraised between he was born in
Uganda and he was raised backand forth between India and the
United States so he considershimself a Ugandan and an Indian
and not an American um now I'msure if questioned he would say

(42:29):
oh well that was my mom thatsaid that or yes she said that
she said that 10 years ago Iconsider myself an American now
I'm sure he'll talk out of it.
Yeah just like he's talking hisway out of the whole my aunt
with her on the subway okaywhatever that was how did that
work out that of course you knowdon't they know that they're
gonna get chapped like peoplewill scour always they will do

(42:50):
the things to find they don't Idon't care they they watched Joe
Biden do it for an entire careerlying over and over again
telling these stories aboutpeople and places and times that
didn't line up and continued todo it.
Right.
And we all just caught on at theend and we're like hey the guy's
senile and in reality he's beendoing it for his entire career
and they've all been watching itand they don't care either.

(43:11):
This is the same thing right sowhat you know that this effort
to denaturalize to take away hisAmerican citizenship and then
deport him to Uganda has hassome teeth.
And Marco Rubio I think has notnecessarily weighed in on this
officially um I would not put itpast him to be on board with

(43:32):
this and to and to to takeaction on it.
The question is is this theAmerican way?
And and I this is going to be anunpopular opinion.
My opinion is no it's not myopinion is he is an American
citizen.
He has not done anything legallytreasonous to the nation that
anybody can prove that he hasn'tbeen tried for and therefore he

(43:55):
has every right to run foroffice just like any other
American citizen.
Because people don't like hispolitics is not a reason to take
away citizenship and send himaway.
People will argue with me andthat's fine but I don't think
that that's the American way.
Unfortunately I think theAmerican way allows him to run
for mayor of New York be electedthe mayor of New York which will

(44:19):
happen and then thus le destroythe city of New York.
And I know that people areworried about him as a as a you
know a threat to uh Americanbusinesses to you know our most
populous the most popular cityin the nation etc but there's no
legal reason to do this.
Now if they're gonna find aloophole like you said and it's

(44:40):
like oh well he left out one ofhis addresses or whatever it is
some administrative reason to toto do this right okay then then
you know we're probably abusingthe legal system in ways that if
it was used against us in thesame way we wouldn't be very
happy about.
So unpopular opinion I I don'tthink he should be deported.

SPEAKER_04 (45:00):
I really really don't just there was some
conversation or some stuff thatI had read um to basically to
the effect of that he was a partwhen he came here he was part of
a socialist or communist umgroup or party or whatever it

(45:22):
was that I don't think they usethe word communist but socialist
which we all know we know whatwe know here.
One leads to the other exactlylike they're hand in hand here.
They're married basically umthat because he was part of that
group that it makes his umcitizenship void or or not not

(45:45):
possible because of that uhaffiliation so if that is I mean
if it's as simple as that thenyeah I I I hear what you're
saying Clay and it's I I youknow I don't disagree with you
in the I don't know the moralethical sense of doing things
but I also say I also have tosay the flip the exact opposite

(46:09):
and say I really want them tofind something because this guy
is going to get in otherwise andhe is an absolute detriment it's
such a mild word to use um toNew York City the citizens to I
think I again I always thinkabout these poor people who are
going to be affected the onesthat are just trying to earn a

(46:31):
living have a life do the rightthing pay their taxes pay their
bills take care of their familyand and they are the going to be
the ones to suffer profoundlyfrom the actions of this man.
I have to show you guys I I justsaw it this afternoon and I
snagged it for us to watch uhCuomo who who we do not like

(46:51):
let's you know let's justreiterate that every time but he
put out an ad I don't know ifyou saw this play but uh he put
out an ad um against obviouslymom Donnie and it's all like AI
but it's pretty good.
It's a little bit lengthy butwe're gonna watch it because
it's good.

SPEAKER_03 (47:06):
So here it is guys an inexperienced radical whose
policies will make New York Citymore dangerous.
But what do his actualsupporters think?

SPEAKER_08 (47:13):
Mom Donnie isn't crazy even the play in the field
give everyone a fair job.

SPEAKER_11 (49:02):
Ouch wow ouch yeah there were no punches pulled on
that one at all um yeah it's saywhat you will say what we will
about uh Como and his team therethat was a pretty um in your
famous ad right there I againfolks this is going back to

(49:26):
touching on the last topic likethis is the the broken fighting
inside of the Democrat Partyright now.
And again he's he's fearmongering a little bit I I don't
think he's too far off ofreality but right he's bringing
it to the forefront you know theAI was a little sketchy but it
gets sketchy on us.
Yeah yeah exactly he did say itout loud like he fully expects

(49:47):
uh on the day of momdani'sinauguration that Trump's gonna
roll tanks down Main Street NewYork and and that's he's gonna
take over the city.
Um so yeah it's uh I it listenif they can find folks I don't
support mom donnie at all don'tget me wrong um but if they and
if they can find that he lied onhis citizenship application then

(50:07):
sure absolutely take it awayfrom him send him away um but it
again if if we're reaching forstraws that he he didn't dot an
eye um and it was anadministrative error versus a
blatant you know attempt todefraud or or lie then you know
I think we've got a a differentdiscussion to have but uh it's
uh it's folks it's coming we'relike yeah what are we a week two

(50:29):
weeks away uh yeah less thanless than right yeah yeah it's
um I I just I feel a deep senseof dread with the whole thing I
just feel like it's a foregoneconclusion of what's going to
happen here um you know I I didsee that they said uh Como made
some big leaps there but I thinkSliwa is not backing down he's
not backing out right I meanhe's dug his heels in um I

(50:53):
listen we already kind of thewriting's on the wall here you
know what's likely to happen anduh act accordingly I will I will

this country that he loves somuch and I respect and admire
that about him so so much and Idon't really care if he don't so

(55:38):
whatever it's all good by me.
Last one of the evening umElon's XAI has released the beta
version of their they're callingit Groncopedia and it's to rival
Wikipedia.
And I think that is really veryinteresting.
I don't know if it's good, bador indifferent.
I just think that it's reallyinteresting.

(55:59):
Hence we're throwing it in herefor our last lighter topic here.
You know obviously AI is such auh huge point of contention for
people rightly so it issomething that has grown to such
a degree that it's out ofcontrol.
I cannot stand some of these uhAI videos there's a platform
called Sora I think it's calledout right now right and and I

(56:22):
know everybody's loving iteverybody's in uh enjoying it
these these hokey uh videos thatare you know really now if you
recogni you know you if you knowyou know you recognize it
because it's the same type ofthing that they're doing over
and over again I personallycannot stand them I I scroll
past them so fast because Idon't know maybe it's like uh
maybe it's my little bit ofbitterness because I I you know

(56:45):
write script perform edit I doall of the work for my own skits
and everything and people arejust like generating and like so
rude but whatever you knowthat's all it is what it is.
I am not a fan uh if you're onthe right it's very likely that
you are not a fan of Wikipediabecause this is so profoundly
biased because people can inputinformation and change it and do

(57:08):
all those things.
So I will be checking I have notyet I I followed it or whatever.
I don't know I bookmarked it Ithink is what I did.
Uh Gracopedia I'm gonna lookinto a free guys I'm I maybe
will even make a page for myselfand y'all maybe you guys can
jump in and edit it.
Be nice you hear me you behave.

SPEAKER_11 (57:26):
I I told Elsa before the show folks that I I don't go
much on Twitter.
It just doesn't the I I I don'tuse it.
But I I did pop on it the otheryesterday and I saw this like
this was the first thing thatpopped up obviously it's on X
slash Twitter.
But you know uh Elon Muskliterally called Wikipedia
Wokapedia because of the abilityfor people to go in there and

(57:49):
edit anybody can go in and editWikipedia as we all know so what
they've been doing is they'vebeen wokeifying Wikipedia.
They're literally editing outtruthful things adding in things
that go with the woke mindsetand they're changing what you
know the entries are to fit thatnarrative and he's like we we
can't do this anymore.

(58:09):
So Gracopedia is supposed to befact based, not opinion based.
I don't know how much editing isgoing to be allowed available I
don't know how it's going towork.

SPEAKER_04 (58:18):
I don't think there's going to be much at all
like it it's um the way Iunderstand it is that it is so
committed to fact-basedmaterial.
Like I started like I typed in auh a question like how do you
make a page on Grackopia how youmake a page and I I did it so
soon before we did this so don'tquote me on this this is like
very loose.
Uh basically the gist of it islike you put in your

(58:38):
information, you start inputtingthe information and it warns you
to not you know lie or embellishbecause it's gonna flag it and
it's gonna stop you immediatelybecause it's like fact checking
you in real time.
So fabulously fascinating Ithink from that.
So here's I I do have an exampleI for I almost forgot that I
pulled this up for you guys.
So this is um the Wikipediaversion of George Floyd and as

(59:02):
you can see he's an AfricanAmerican man who was murdered by
a white police officer inMinneapolis blah blah blah um
you can probably freeze this andand read it all yourselves if
you so choose okay so that'sthat's theirs all right now here
is the Gronk version of thatwhich is really very just the
facts ma'am like likestraightforward Georgia gives

(59:25):
his full name American manlengthy criminal record which I
don't think that the Wikipediaone even mentioned his criminal
history um drug possession theftgives the facts of the
circumstances of what happenedum and just very factually
straightforward here's whathappened no you know misleading

(59:45):
or leading you know words orstatements or anything like
that.
So from that alone uh it itpiques my curiosity so I we
would love to hear what you guysthink of that.
Of course we want to hear whatyou think of all of the topics
um pipe in give us yourOpinions, your thoughts.
Uh, if you gotta correct us onsomething, go ahead and correct
us.
We have to think again, so wedon't get insulted.
If we were wrong on something,call it out.

(01:00:07):
If we were right, even moreimportantly, if we were right,
tell us how right we are.
Oh, but as usual, Clay, you didan awesome giant job um picking
out our topics, all really,really important topics that are
so stressful.

SPEAKER_11 (01:00:26):
America's doing it for me.
I I don't know, it's not hard.
Nowadays, it's not hard.
It's just it's uh you you popthrough three or four news
outlets and the same six orseven topics come up, uh, and I
just grab the ones that I thinkare uh most interesting for us,

Combat veteran Terry Davis thought he left the fight
behind.
In Tampa, he uncovered a deadlyconspiracy.
Now he's back home in Chicago,and war has followed him to his
doorstep.
Gangs armed like soldiers, ashadowy enemy rising from the
past, and one man who refuses tostand down.
From the quiet suburbs to theshores of Lake Michigan, Terry
