Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hm.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
You're listening to the j. D Rucker Show. Let's begin.
It was definitely a crazy weekend to lead into this
this last week, last week before for President Trump is
officially inaugurated, one more week of Joe Biden's handlers trying
to muck things up as much as possible. We've had

(00:57):
certain things come about, some some good news, some bad news.
But it's funny because I was been so focused on
the weekend that some of the news from today sort
of passed me by. I saw that David Weis's the
special counsel looking into the Hunter Biden situation, that he
actually dropped his report, and it was pretty pretty damning.

(01:19):
You know. Basically, he's saying there was probably a lot
more to it, and that he was he felt hamstring
hamstrong by Joe Biden, of course doing the unconditional pardon
of his son. He he insinuated in his report that
there was more to Hunter Biden's shenanigans than what we're

(01:41):
even aware of, and that he was sort of blindsided
and in many ways disgusted by the fact that Hunter
Biden does get this blanket pardon because again insinuating without
directly saying it. He was insinuating that there's more to
the Hunter Biden backle, the crimes of Hunter Biden and

(02:04):
likely the entire Biden crime family. There's more to it
than what we know, and we'll never know. That's just unfortunately,
that's how Washington, DC works. We also had an alarming,
I wouldn't say alarming, a concerning note from Jake Sullivan

(02:25):
on his final what should be his final press conference.
Watch this.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
The Biden administration is focusing the minds of people, and
we are coordinating closely with the incoming administration to make
maximum use of this particular period to get this thing done.
So I'll leave it there. I just will say one
last word, which is this is I hope this is
my last time at this podium, at least for a
little while. I don't mean that in negative sense. I

(02:51):
mean the only thing that would bring me back is
an unexpected event in the next few days, which, as
you all know, is totally possible given everything you've seen
over the course through the past years. But if it
is in fact my last time before you, I just
want to say thank you for what you guys do
every day. Thank you for putting up with me. It's
been an honor to be able to really try to

(03:11):
illuminate these issues through tough probing and penetrating questioning. And
I've can't say I've always enjoyed every moment up here,
but I certainly have been privileged to be able to
do it. So thank you guys for appreciate you people clapping.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
In the bed.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
That was a little ominous, don't you think? We have
Christa Ray, current and soon to be former FBI director
going on sixty minutes. I didn't watch it. I didn't
even watch any clips from it, I'll admit, because I
just can't stand the guy. And I knew what he
was going to say, but judging from what other people
are reporting, he was talking about basically saying, Oh, the

(03:49):
risks are there, the risks are there. I think Laura
Logan had probably the best take. It's like he's he's
sort of preemptively pardoning himself basically and hey, you know,
I don't know if there's going to be any attacks,
but the conditions are there for there to be upcoming attacks,

(04:09):
and you know, basically saying, look, we did what we could,
we did everything we could, but we got booted out.
So so that's this is on cash hotel. It's not okay.
Anything that happens, especially in the early days of the
Trump administration, anything that happens criminally, whether it's terrorist attack
or some major other major events, these still do fall
on Christopher Ray and the culture that he and his

(04:31):
deep state handlers have established over at the FBI and
the Department of Justice in general. It's going to take
some time to get this cleaned up. We also had
reports over the weekend that apparently as many as half
of the deep state shills within the United States government,
within the the White House and the various departments and agencies,

(04:52):
that as many as half of them or more are
going to do what they can to oppose Donald Trump.
Don't forget you know, when we talk about the swamp,
we often talk about, oh, look at this rhino, look
at this democrat, you know, elected official. Really, folks, the
swamp is the bureaucratic state, and the bureaucratic state does
not like to be hampered. Now, President Trump has expressed

(05:15):
a desire to go after not just the bureaucratic state,
but the deep state, which controls the bureaucratic states. So
as a result, yes, we are going to see pushback.
We're going to see people trying to subvert the you know,
Trump's plan, trying to subvert Agenda twenty twenty five. And
it's it is what it is. You know. We can

(05:37):
we can say whatever we want about how Trump should
just go and fire everybody, but it's just not that simple.
It should be, you know, and I mean, technically speaking,
if we were really going to make changes in DC,
that's exactly what would happened. We could eliminate ninety ninety
five percent of the federal government and handback power to

(05:58):
the states, power to the individuals, to the people. That's
what we should do. And as much as I would
love to say that Donald Trump is going to do that,
I don't think he will. I think that he's going
to do bits and pieces of good things here and
there when it comes to taking down the swamp, taking
down the deep state, taking down the bureaucratic state. But
I'm not sure if he is. I shouldn't say i'm

(06:19):
not sure. I am fairly certain that he won't be
able to take it down in a truly significant manner.
We're talking about just a vast or we're talking I mean, folks,
we're talking about literally millions of people that are it
is in their best interests to perpetuate the corruption, the slime,

(06:43):
the evil that permeates through Washington, DC, that works against
the people. But I'm not here for dooming gloom. No, no, no, no,
we'll have that later. For now, I want to focus
on the fact that we got one week, just one week,
one week. A week from today President Trump, lord willing

(07:03):
no shenanigans before them. But a week from today President
Trump will be inaugurated and become the forty seventh president
of the United States. So while we should stay frosty
this week, let's you know what, as a matter of fact,
I'm going to go ahead and just play this. Let's
let's go ahead and play this clip from President Trump himself.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
Left the building.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
We could now project the winner of the presidential race,
Donald Trump wins the presidency.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
What started off as unlikely, it's impossible is reality.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
I will fight for you with every breath in my body,
and I will never ever let you down.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
We have a president who actually fulfilled the promises invasion
during the campsiuring the border to foreign Now as a
record as president, this pretty name president breaking news out
of Polick has executed an unprecedented warrant a President Donald
Trump a lugist.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
The president has both sides of the political aisle up.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
In rangers an unstable moment in American history.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
The Justice Department has just indicted former President Donald Trump.

Speaker 6 (08:12):
Fiven years.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
They hated him, they targeted him, they hunted him.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
This is the epitome of the abuse of the prosecutorial
power to pre have political decisions. I never thought anything
like this could happen in America. The only crime that
I have committed is to furiously defend our nation from
those who seek to destroy it.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong,
the more certain you should be that you must keep
pushing ahead. They want to take away my freedom because
I will never let them take away your freedom. They
want to silence me because I will never let.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Them silence you. They're not coming after me, They're coming
after you.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
And I just happened to be standing in their way,
and I will.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Never be moving.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
On November fifth, twenty four, justice will be done.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
We will take back our country, and we will make
America break again.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
America will always rise to every challenge and overcome every danger.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Donald Falk seems to always get stronger when challenged these
types of things. I think I will strength when.

Speaker 6 (09:28):
I'm re elected.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I will totally obliterate the Deep States.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
As long as we have fried in.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Our beliefs, courage in our convictions, and.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Faith in our God, then we will not fail.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Did Gavin Newsom inadvertently reveal the core issue plaguing in
California and more areas than just the fire disaster that
we're experiencing in Los Angeles? On Sunday? He went on
to meet the press to I guess to do some
damage control, not even sure why he's doing interviews or
trying to highlight Joe Biden's positives and California's positives while

(11:46):
attacking Donald Trump while pretending to not be attacking Donald Trump.
All sorts of weird. And you'll see in the video
that I'm about to play that he's sort of un hinge,
you know, using really really powerful, practiced hand motions to
I don't know, look not like an idiot, even though

(12:06):
he is. And a lot of different publications and outlets
picked up on this interview and have been ripping on him.
But there was something that he said there at the
very end of this clip that I'm about to show
you see if you can catch it. This to me
is very telling because I think that he actually he
gave it up without realizing. Watch.

Speaker 6 (12:26):
I called for him to come out take a look
for himself. We want to do in the spirit of
an open hand, not a closed fist. He's the president elect.
I respect the office. We have a president of the
United States that within thirty six hours provided a major
disaster declaration over a text. We had support from the
President of the United States, Joe Biden, with one hundred
percent reimbursement, all the resources you could hope for. Imagine

(12:48):
constant communication. I'd like to extend that to the President elect.
I don't know what he's referring to when he talks
about the Delta smelt and reservoirs. The reservoirs are completely full.
Of the state reservoirs here in southern California. That missing disinformation.
I don't think advantages or AIDS. Any of us responding
to Donald Trump's insults, we would spend another month.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
I'm very familiar with them.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
Every elected official that he disagrees with, very familiar with them.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
We do know, though, from reporting here locally, that that
one reservoir that serves the Palace AIDS was not full.

Speaker 6 (13:19):
And that's exactly what triggered my desire to get the
investigation to understand what was happening with that local reservoir
that was not a state system reservoir which the President
elect was referring to as it relates to the Delta,
and somehow connecting the Delta smelt to this.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Fire, which is.

Speaker 6 (13:36):
Inexcusable because it's inaccurate, also incomprehensible to anyone that understands
water policy in.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
The state, anyone who understands water policy in the state. Now,
in any state, water policy is extraordinarily important. Water is,
of course, the giver of so much abundance, the giver
of life. It's necessary for us to live as humans,
for for plants and animals to live, for fires to

(14:03):
get put out. So water policy is extremely important, of course,
especially in a state that has water issues, such as California.
California for those who don't realize was a desert in
southern California at least was a desert, and it was
basically they imported water to try to turn it into
a not desert, which is great except for the fact
that then you become dependent on water and strong water

(14:27):
policy democrats in California have obliterated these policies for decades.
They have made it to and he says he doesn't
not sure what Trump is talking about with the Delta smelt.
This is a fish that so far, I mean, we
haven't been able to find one in the wild in

(14:47):
like seven years. It's gone. Okay, it's gone. And yet
they're still engaging in these ludicrous policies that are intended
to somehow save the environment, save ecology, stop climate change
and all this other stuff they are dumping. And they
have been dumping water, fresh water into the ocean. This

(15:08):
is this is not not denied by anybody. And when
you have reservoirs such as the reservoir that was supposed
to help to prevent and to stop fires in the
Pacific Palisades, well yeah, you have to ask questions and
don't give me this jurisdiction craft. Well, that's local and

(15:28):
this is state. And look, if you know that the
Santa Ana winds are coming, you know that the conditions
are there for fires, which everybody knew that going before
the fire. I mean, people were talking about fires before
the fire started out here in California. So it's not
like this is new. It's not like we didn't experience
massive fires in the same basic area just five or

(15:49):
six years ago. We have. We did. They should have
known and don't throw out all bad policy. But that
is the case. This is what they hide behind. If
there's anything positive that ever happens in California, it's because
of Democrat policies, that's why they claim. But then if
anything bad happens, such as what's happening now, it's always,

(16:09):
you know, California policies. It's not Democrat policies. It's California
policies that were put forth by Democrats. If you're going
to put out policies regarding water and that those policies
include the stupidest ideas in the world, such as taking
very precious fresh water and dumping it into the ocean

(16:31):
at a time when we have experienced droughts in recent years,
we have had challenges with farming. One would have to think,
if you're paying any attention at all, one would have
to think that all of this is intentional. They really
are truly trying to destroy California. And I've avoided that

(16:52):
that idea for a long time. I live out here.
I don't want to think that. I want to think, hey,
you know, maybe they're just stupid. I don't think they are.
I'm starting to believe very thoroughly that people like Gavin Newsoen,
Karen Bass, all the Democrats out here in California, and
many of the Republicans as well, their intention really is

(17:16):
to try to destroy the state of California. And this,
to me is part of a much bigger, more evil
plan than we could even possibly describe here on the JD.
Rutgers Show. In a very short segment, something that perhaps
I need to cover more thoroughly in the very near future,

(17:36):
Gavin Newsom is using fire fundraiser to raise money for himself.
This is the ugliest thing I think I've ever seen
in politics, and I've seen a lot of ugly things
in politics, but this really truly chaps Mike Aki's I mean,
this makes me so mad that I I almost didn't

(17:59):
want to do that story because I don't want to
come across as unhinged. But this might, this might take
me over the edge. It was revealed over the weekend
that some pretty bad stuff was being done not just
by Gavin Newsom, but also by Elizabeth Poconnis Warren. Both
of them were using fundraisers to fundraising posts on x

(18:20):
and talking about raising funds for the fire fire relief,
and they did so in a way that they caught
a lot of people's attention because they were funneling it
through Act Blue. Now, this in and of itself is
already bad enough, okay, because that means that they're using
this Democrat fundraising tool that is that is under investigation.
A lot of people are are very concerned about how

(18:41):
it's used and this that or the other. And then
you find out that there's three point ninety five percent
of the donations that are going directly to Act Blue.
These are the fees, right, and this this will of
course benefit Democrats. And there are ways that you can
You can always donate directly to the United Way and
Los Angeles Support l a f D. There's people. Thankfully,

(19:03):
we're adding context to these posts such as Elizabeth Warren
calling for for you know, seeing one hundred percent of
your donations will go directly to these organizations, except they don't.
That's not true. It's one hundred percent of the donations
minus fees. Okay, great, fine, awesome, that's that's good. Now, Newsom,
you'll notice that that in Newsom's post let's find it, uh,

(19:26):
Newsom calls for he's sending people to to this site
called called California Firefacts right now, California Firefacts. If you
go there, you'll notice something a little bit odd that
that even though you go to California firefacts dot com,
it redirects you to Gavin Newsom dot com slash California Firefacts.

Speaker 7 (19:46):
Okay, fine, that's that's not the maybe the the little
little questionable there, but so be it, you know, and
it's just a bunch of facts in fact and lying
in fact and whatever, you know, and it calls out
densh Desuza and libs of TikTok and all this other stuff.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
And then you get down to the bottom, and of course
there's a place to donate, and you'll be able to
donate to the California Fire Foundation. But are you really
donating to the California Fire Foundation. Let's let's see. Let's
let's click on I'm not gonna donate, so let's click
on the donate to califire Foundation. What you're actually donating to,
of course, here is the Campaign for Democracy. What is

(20:26):
the Campaign for Democracy? You might ask. It's the full
name is Gavin Newsom's Campaign for Democracy. It's a pack
that raises the money for him. Now, to be clear,
this isn't how they'll make their money, Okay, I would,
I would seriously doubt that they would take any money
from this. Maybe some administrative fees for utilizing their platform.

(20:47):
Just as Zach Blue takes three point ninety five percent,
maybe California Fire Foundation takes takes you know, one or
two percent for administration. Right, because again, you're not donating
to this supposed California Fire Foundation. You're donating to Campaign
for Democracy. All right, So that's bad, it's bad. You

(21:08):
shouldn't you should be able to donate directly. Why do
you need a layer on top of a layer that
goes through a Democrat platform that then might some of
it most of it, will say, even all of it
other than the fees, of course, all of it goes
to these other other charities, why not just donate to
the charities directly. Well you'll find out why here in

(21:29):
a second. And it goes down to the very very bottom.
And by preventing by providing your your phone number and
as well as your your email. Of course that's that's
a given. You can send to receive period and you
don't have to ask for permission once you if you're
putting in your email to be clear, that's what they
have to ask or they have to alert you if
they're going to be doing it through SMS. By providing

(21:50):
your cell phone number, you can sent to receive periodic
campaign updates through automated text messages from Gavin Newsom's Campaign
for Democracy. Wait, but I thought I was donating to
this fire firefund. No, you're not. Again, most of the
money is going to go to the firefund, but you're
gonna get text messages from Gavin Newsom's Campaign for Democracy. Now,

(22:12):
anybody who's who's been involved at all in political fundraising
knows that emails and SMS, texts that's gold. That is
that is money in the bank. So the reason that
it's not just the three point ninety five percent. That's
that's fine, Okay, that's it is what it is. The
real gold for them, for Gavin Newsom, for Elizabeth Warren,

(22:36):
for who anybody else who's doing it like this. The
real gold is getting your data. If they can get
a thousand, five thousand, fifteen thousand, thirty thousand, one hundred
thousand a million people, if they can get all these
people to donate to fire, to the fire relief funds,
that will get again get distributed to wherever the residents
and need firefighters, fire prevention, whatever. That initial batchel of

(23:00):
money that you donate, most of it's going to go there.
Where they get you is when they get you with
another SMS text or email or five emails or fifty
emails or ten SMS texts over the next however long
and definitely until you tell them to stop bugging you, basically,

(23:21):
but if you do donate to the fire, you're going
to receive messages that will say something to the effect
of help Gavin. You know, you generously contributed fifty dollars
in January to the firefund. Help Gavin Newsom continue to
these people are still in need. Help Gavin Newsom continue
to fight for these firefighters funds for everything else, they

(23:46):
won't say, donate to the firefighter funds or the LA
whatever or anything like that. They'll say, help Gavin Newsom,
help Elizabeth Warren continue the fight on behalf of these funds,
these firefighters, the residents whoever. And when you do, then

(24:06):
click on that button, it will take you to donation
page that will go again directly to Gavin Newsom's campaign
for democracy. And how much of that will go to
victims of his incompetence, victims of the poorly managed city

(24:26):
of Los Angeles, the poorly managed state of California. How
much of that money will go to the victims in
the subsequent dollars that are sent allegedly to them. Zero,
None of it, Because again, your initial contribution might go
most of it will go to these charities, but everything

(24:48):
beyond that. When they start hitting you up on SMS
telling you, hey, you donated, before it's time to donate again,
the ninety nine percent of people will be under the
assumption that they're donating more to the fire fighters the victims, whoever.
Ninety nine percent at least will realize or will never realize,
that they're donating directly to Gavin Newsom's and Elizabeth Warrens

(25:10):
and anybody else's campaign funds. They're packs. This is evil, folks.
I mean, who thinks like this? Who thinks here's a tragedy?
How can we benefit from it? Our policies destroyed the

(25:30):
lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and we gotta
figure out how to cash in on that. Who thinks
like this? I am so mad at Gavin Newsom, Elizabeth
Warren anybody else who does this. And I don't care
they're Democratic. If they were Republicans doing this, they would
still be scum in my books. You don't benefit from disasters,

(25:57):
especially disasters that you helped to call us. Gavin Newsom
has no shame. He hasn't. Gavin Newsom's time in as

(26:17):
a public servant should be over as quickly as possible.
I don't care if he if he's recalled, I don't
care if he's exiled from from the political field. He
should be. He should be thoroughly investigated, and if they

(26:37):
find anything anything, he should be charged and arrested and
convicted and jailed. I mean, there's the things that they
accuse Trump of doing, or or any Republicans, some of them,

(26:57):
I know do bad things. I don't want to be like, Oh, Republicans,
they don't do anything wrong. But I've never seen anything
Republican or Democrat. I've never seen anything as evil as
what Gavin Newsom is doing today. Biden aids are terrified
that Trump won't give him a state funeral, just hoping
he will outlive Trump's second term. When I read this,

(27:21):
at first, I thought, my gosh, this has to be
the Babylon. But certainly nobody is so stupid as to
think that Trump, Donald Trump, or really anyone would be
so callous, so so idiotic that they wouldn't give a
president of the United States, even one as bad as
Joe Biden, wouldn't give them a state funeral. But apparently

(27:42):
the Biden aids are terrified that if Joe Biden dies
in the next four years, that he won't be given
a state funeral. This just goes to show the insanity.
It really is a mental illness. I believe that permeates
across many on the left, including apparently aids for the

(28:02):
soon to be former president of the United States. I mean,
there's nothing, nothing, no possible way any thinking American who's
not suffering from a delusion such as Trump delusion syndrome.
There's no way that anybody would think that it's even conceivable.
They would never even entertain the idea that if Joe

(28:24):
Biden were to die during President Trump's second term in office,
that Trump wouldn't give him a state funeral. That just
makes no sense. But anyway, according to this article over
at over at Red State, this is by Rusty Weiss,
aids to President Biden are reportedly concerned about what will
happen if he passes away while Donald Trump is in

(28:45):
the White House, particularly whether or not Trump will authorize
a state funeral in his honor. A report from CNN
details in depth the process of the current president as
he confronts his own mortality, seeing exactly how a funeral
for president is canducted in the wake of the passing
of Jimmy Carter. Like most presidents, the outlet notes that
Biden has already approved a plan for his own services. However,

(29:07):
concern has seeped in that Trump, who is just days
away from being inaugurated for a second term, would eskew decorum.
This is what they write. Still, an uncomfortable thought has
circulated among some Biden aids and longtime supporters in the
days since Carter died. If Biden passes while Trump is president,
would he get a state funeral? This goes to show

(29:30):
they really don't understand Donald Trump. They think that because
he is bold, because sometimes he is unorthodox, will say
in his way of discussing topics that that means he's
a neanderthal or something, that he's he doesn't understand things,
or that he would be so petty, so vindictive that

(29:55):
he would deny a former president of the United States
the honor of a state funeral. It's I can't think
of the words for it. I mean, this Trump de
arrangement syndrome is real. It is absolutely real, and it
clouds people's judgment. And this is concerning. You know, this
is a nothing burger story, and I don't generally like

(30:15):
to highlight nothing burger stories, except that I couldn't stop
thinking about the lunacy of it, and I couldn't help
think that if these people think so low of Donald
Trump and are so concerned, I mean, they use the
word terrified to be clear, if they are actually terrified

(30:36):
of something that has a zero percent chance of happening
in the real world. Then it's no wonder that they're
willing to do anything anything to prove themselves right. This
is worse than the climate cultis are well, this is
worse than the hate hoaxers. You know, we keep having
these these racist moments popping up on college campuses, and

(30:58):
then a week or two or three late, we find
out it was a hoax. It was just just some
some students. They've been sitting there waiting for for months,
years for that that racist event to happen on their campus,
and it didn't happen. So they're gonna do it themselves
and see, see we proved it. And then they get
busted and it's like, oh, sorry, you know, just racism

(31:19):
is real. We swear Trump arrangement syndrome is real. I
don't have to swear on it. You can see it
around you. You can see it in the lunacy of
thinking that these people actually are terrified by the prospect
of Joe Biden dying, dying during prisident Trump's term, thinking
that he would deny him a state funeral. They have

(31:42):
lost their minds, there's no other way to put it.
Last year, my long term storage food company, Prepper Farms,
was partnered with and actually owned by another corporation. I
know that nobody knew this. Very few people were even
aware that this was the case. Because our production, our systems,

(32:03):
everything was in place and working just as it should be.
People would go, they would put in promo code JDR
at prepperfarms dot Com. They would receive the maximum possible
discount as always, and then they would get their long
term storage beef things. What you didn't know and what
we can now explain now is that this year, in
twenty twenty five, we have gone back to the original

(32:26):
ownership structure. And I'm very excited about that because that
puts me finally back more in charge. And I am
super excited about that concept. Not because I crave power
by any means, but because I feel that, as an
America first veteran owned company, that we need to focus
on helping Americans to prepare for whatever is to come,
whether it's natural disasters or emergencies, or dedollarization, food crises,

(32:51):
bird flu whatever it is. We do expect something to happen,
which is why we built prepperfarms dot Com in the
first place. The idea here is to get high quality,
all American, all Texas beef. The good stuff, Rabbi New York,
strip tenderloin all of that good stuff and in freeze
dry it naturally to give it a at twenty five

(33:13):
year shelf life. We don't add any preservative. There's only
one one ingredient and that's beef last twenty five years
in the bag, and that's awesome. So support this show,
support me, support yourself and your family. Protect yourself for
the future by stocking up on long term storage, high
quality beef. Go to prepperfarms dot com. That's prepperfarms dot com.

(33:38):
Use promo code at JDR and you will receive the
maximum possible discount. Could there be a reason why Los
Angeles is burning that nobody really wants to talk about now?
I want to talk about it. I want to talk

(33:58):
about it because I think that it's definite possible. But
before I get into this article by Michael Snyder from
End of the American Dream, I wanted to clarify, you know,
for a long time, I was not convinced that God
acted in judgment towards people during this life. In other words,
I always thought God will judge people after we die,

(34:19):
and up until then, we're on our own, we do
our thing. That's not to say that we don't get blessings,
we don't get curses or anything like that. It's just
that that God isn't sitting there. Oh well, this person
did that, so you know, strike him down. Because the
reason being it's not that I thought that he couldn't
do it is that you see so much evil in
the world. You see so many bad things happening, and
you see so many good things that people can do

(34:43):
that don't get rewarded, and bad things that people do
that don't get punished, at least that we know of.
I always thought, you know what, we're basically we do
our thing here and and then afterwards we get judged
for our actions, and that's when God will dish out punishment.
I've noticed events, things that have happened, so I've become

(35:06):
more open to it. I'm not bullish about it by
any means, but i am open to the idea that
in certain circumstances, people, groups, organizations, companies, even entire nations
can be punished, and those punishments come in the form
of something grand and such as, for example, the Los

(35:29):
Angeles fires. So again, not bullish, not dogmatic. Just it's
I'm very open to the idea, but only under certain circumstances.
And I think that in this article, which we have
cross posted over at discern report dot com, this article
by Michael Snyder. It makes some good points, and it
makes one incredibly good point, and then some of the

(35:51):
other points I don't necessarily agree with. But let's get
into the article. There's so much anger about the unprecedented
fires that are ravaging the Los Angeles area because there
is a widespread belief they could been prevented, and then
he goes into the various theories about why they're happening.
What is the one thing that sets the Los Angeles
apart from any other city in the world, And, needless
to say, it's the entertainment industry. Los Angeles is known

(36:13):
as the entertainment capital of the world, and the entertainment
that it produces has an enormous amount of global influence.
In fact, LA has more of an impact on the
culture of the world than any other city by a
wide margin. And I agree with that, but I'm not
necessarily in agreement about the next part. The entire planet
has been corrupted by the movies, television shows, and music

(36:34):
that comes out of Hollywood. On top of all that,
it is the epicenter of the global pornography industry. Now,
I often hear that Hollywood is, you know, the source
of sin, or Las Vegas is sin city. And I
think people say, oh, you know, so much sin is
created and produced in Hollywood or Las Vegas or whatever,

(36:57):
and I disagree. I think that sin is personal is
within us. Hollywood movies, whether it's porn or just bad
films or bad messaging in films or television shows or whatever,
that's just the manifestation of I guess you could say
ways that we can sin, but sin is still ours.

(37:17):
Sin is based upon our internals, our actions, and our words. Okay,
if it wasn't for Hollywood, if Hollywood disappeared, we by
our nature who were sinning through Hollywood would find other
ways to sin. You look at third world areas where
they don't have Hollywood or Bollywood or anything like that.

(37:37):
You look at those areas, they're finding ways to sin.
It's based upon what's manifest in front of them. So no,
I'm not going to say that sin is not Hollywood
is not the source of sin. Hollywood is simply the
Petri dish, where our satanic nature can be made manifest.

(37:59):
That's why again, and I'm not suggesting that the God's
pleased by any means that that so much porn or
anything is produced in Hollywood. I'm just saying that that
to me, I almost stopped reading the article at this
point because I'm like, oh, no, no, no, this, you know,
this has been a problem in Hollywood and in the
world for a long time, a long time. This doesn't

(38:20):
make any sense why I would be Now, well, you
can't say, oh, you know, the fires were caused because
of so many bad movies and so much porn being produced.
That's not new. But there was something. He gets to
his next point, and this is a lot more direct
and a lot more timely the most of us ailliario.

(38:40):
Of course, much filth sorry sorry, sorry, oh there go.
Of course, much of the filth that the entertainment industry
produces openly mocks God and misuses his name. Sadly, the
entertainment industry has even was even mocking God at the
Golden Globe Awards just forty eight hours before the fire's hit. Now,
let's let's play this real quick.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Captain.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
Speeches have been on fire, who got shot out the most?

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Let's look at the numbers.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Gone the creator of the universe zero mentions, no surprise
in this godlet town.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
This is the view from a that's enough. I don't
need to you don't need to see that part. We've
already seen. We've seen what's happened, and yes, it is conspicuous,
and it really is based around the idea of Galatians
sixty seven. God will not be mocked, and they were
mocking God. So if we were to attribute these fires

(39:40):
with so many celebrities having their homes burnt down, one
British actor, a child star, granted, somebody who had cerebral
palsy and blindness, born blind, He died. I forgot his name,
but he was one of the victims in the fire itself.
If we were going to go down this road that

(40:02):
this this fire in whole or in part, was punishment
for something, it wouldn't be the point of industry. It wouldn't
be bad movies, it wouldn't be Hollywood. It wouldn't be
the the the crime, the almost certainly the hideous child
sex trafficking, very very bad things that are happening in Hollywood,
because those aren't new. But they mocked God directly to

(40:25):
millions of people just before the fires. That to me
is more more indicative of what I would expect as
far as a punishment being sent on on the people.
You know, we look at places like Sodom and Gomorrah.
The crimes that we know of in Sodom and Gamora,

(40:46):
we don't have a lot of detail. We only have
a basically innuendo. We know that they were perverse. We
know that those perversions that they were engaged in, those
are those are present everyone in the world now. So
I don't see this as a similar type of punishment
as will would have happened to Sodom and Gomorrah. But

(41:11):
I could see this as a very big warning sign
don't mock God, especially to millions of people, that that's
a bad idea. Are the LA fires a way to
usher in smart LA twenty twenty eight Smart Cities as

(41:32):
part of Los Angeles ahead of the twenty twenty eight
Los Angeles Olympics. As far as theories go, this is
one that we need to consider, one that I think
is possible, And at this point almost anything's possible. Like
if somebody says, oh, it's the aliens. Okay, I'm not
gonna take that one. That one, to me is not possible.

(41:52):
You know. If you were to say it's some variation
of aliens or fake aliens that are whatever, Okay, maybe
we'll listen to that. But I even really I heard
too much of that one yet. What I have heard
are theories, and I would say the most prominent theory,
and this is one that falls unto the mainstream ideology.
It's that maybe one of the fires was started as

(42:13):
a result of something something natural or accidental, and then
the other fires that sparked up were just crazy people
in LA doing what crazy people in LA do, which
is to try to sew additional chaos, you know, whether
through through mental illness or demonic possession or whatever. They're
just like, oh, there's a fire, let's start another one
over here. We do know, I think that, I mean

(42:35):
about ninety nine percent sure that some, if not most,
if not all, of the fires that are going or
having going in Los Angeles are man made. I don't
believe that this is just random. If you look at
the map, it doesn't appear to be just random. Oh
you know, just so happened that that power lines down
here and fireworks over there, and you know they're trying

(42:56):
to throw that out as the likely scenario, but it's
just not it's not. I'm very very sure in my
assertion that some, if not most, if not all, of
the fires were lit intentionally by human beings. The question
is why, so is it possible that these are just
just La being crazy La. Yes, that's definitely possible, and

(43:19):
that seems to be if it is demonstrated that arson
is the cause of so many of these fires, and
that is forced to be revealed publicly, then they'll attribute
it to craziness, though they won't ever go into a
coordinated plan or a conspiracy because such things are anathema
in legacy media, and they'll point to people like me
and say that we're crazy. Option number two. Possibility number two,

(43:41):
this is one that I did a very long segment
about last week. As a matter of fact, is that
this is a gorilla warfare attack. Now people will say
terrorist attack, but that's not the case. There's a very
big difference between terrorism and guerrilla warfare. With terrorism, you
want the terrorists want people to know they're attacking. They
want to take credit for it, they want to maximize casualties,

(44:04):
not necessarily destruction they I mean, destruction is great as
long as long as it's on a grand scale to them.
But really what they want to do is kill as
many people as possible, and they want to take credit
for it, and they want to threaten more similar attacks
in the future. That's the idea of a terrorist attack,
whereas with grill of warfare, they don't want people to
know that it was done intentionally. They don't want people

(44:24):
to know that they're going to do it again. They
want to cause as much chaos and damage as possible.
Casualties are secondary. If they get casualties, they're okay with that.
If they don't get casualties, they're not or they don't
care either either way. I should say what they want
is to attack, attack, attack, weaken us, weaken the nation

(44:47):
in preparation for future bigger attacks. And I think that
that's also a very distinct possibility. Could it be the
globalists or you know, we can call it the climate
chain hoaxers or whatever, call it whatever you want. You
different motivation motivations around that concept, But could they be

(45:08):
out there trying to blame this on climate change and
continue to highlight how we need to do this, do
that Donald Trump is the bad guy and we need
people like Gavenusom in office. That is also a possibility.
But then there's the darkest one, the most evil, I

(45:28):
would argue, and that's the idea that this is all
a setup for rebuilding Los Angeles, or at least good
chunks of Los Angeles as smart cities and having it
spread out from there. It's a heck of a lot
easier to rebuild after you clear way to breathe than
to try to convert a pre existing building, or a

(45:51):
pre existing city block, or a pre existing city rebuild it.
In the vision of what they have for Smart La
twenty twenty eight, they wanted to be a smart city.
They wanted to be the smart city, like one of
the the American prototypes, so to speak. They already did
this on a small scale, I believe with Lehna in Maui, Hawaii,

(46:14):
that was slated to become a smart city, and it
sure was convenient for them that, you know, instead of
having to go through and make deals and spend spend years,
even decades trying to get it switched over, well, this
sort of wiped the slate clean with of course, the
fires that devastated Lehana. Now, which is why it's funny.

(46:40):
Maybe not funny, definitely not funny, but it's crazy that
Gavin Newsom over the weekend made a statement that caught
a lot of people's attention for two different reasons. Number one,
caught caught our attention because he looks like an idiot
doing his little dance. But number two, it caught our
attention because he's apparently been in contact with the governor

(47:03):
of Hawaii talking about rebuilding efforts, talking about prospectors coming
in and how to situate the land for appropriate land use,
and this that or the other. And this is I'm
pulling this out of context, but just so that you
understand the context before. He's talking about the rebuilding process
and everything that they're already doing to get that rolling.

(47:24):
And during this rebuild process, I assure you they will,
and they already are talking about rebuilding these portions of
Los Angeles better than they were before. In other words,
they are already talking without saying the words. They're already
talking about smart LA twenty eight. Watch this.

Speaker 6 (47:44):
We're dealing with a myriad of issues. I was just
talking to Josh Green and the governor of down in Hawaii.
You had some ideas around some land usee concerns he
has around speculators coming in buying up properties and the like.
So we're already working with our legal teams to move
those things forward, and we'll be presenting those in a
matter of days, not just weeks.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
It's funny because that clip did go viral on x
but for most of the wrong reason. I would say
that there were a handful of people that caught on
to his statements regarding, you know, moving legislation forward and
talking about executive orders and talking to the governor of
Hawaii and all that stuff, But most people were just
focused on the shimmy, that weird shimmy that he did,

(48:26):
and wondering what kind of dance it was, and is
he on drugs and what? You know, we are so
easily distracted, which brings me to another quick point before
we move on. I want to highlight a notion that
I see spreading, and I just I don't understand why
so a lot of people are saying, uh, this is it.

(48:47):
This is Gavin Newsom swan song. You know he's done
with politics. He is once he is out. If he's
able to survive until the next governor of California comes
in because he's being term limited out. If he's able
to survive until the twenty twenty sixth election, then you
know he's done after that. And that's ludicrous. Sorry, I
know that it's not a popular to say. I know

(49:08):
that I'm supposed to be out there and say, oh,
Gavin Newsom's done, you know, but he's not. He's not.
This is he is right now. He's in the mode
of separating himself using his hand motions that he likes
to do, to separate himself from the local issues and
to focus on recovery and to focus on stopping the

(49:29):
fires and to this that or the other. Right, this
is an opportunity for Gavin Newsom. Okay, this really is.
We might not look at him and not believe him
when he says, oh, you know that everything the state
reservoirs were done, everything we could possibly do. We don't
believe him when he says that. But people in Los

(49:49):
Angeles a lot of them do, not all of them,
but a lot of them do. People in California a
lot of them do, But over time, more and more
will because he's he's going to reinforce this. He's going
to shift the narrative from hey, here's a guy that
needs to be to be to resign that's what people
are calling for now to within a couple of months,

(50:11):
a couple of year, maybe even a year and a half,
two years, the narrative will be shifted to, Wow, here's
the guy that was thrust into a bad situation that
wasn't his fault, and he's really helped to rebuild and
solidify California and Los Angeles as a result of this.
This guy's demonstrating the leadership look. Gavin Newsom is one

(50:32):
of the one of the most talented politicians that I've
ever seen. He's a horrible leader. His policies are awful. Okay,
he's a horrible person, But when it comes to politics,
when it comes to the art of building narratives and
winning elections, he's a master at it. We have to

(50:52):
assume that we also have to take it to consideration
how quickly narratives can change and how short of memory
people have. Maybe you're not one of those people. I
know I'm not. I try to remember everything, but there
are a vast majority of Americans. We'll just move on
to the next news cycle. It's funny because one of
the reasons that I do the show the way that

(51:14):
I do it now is because I didn't want to
be beholden to the news cycle. And yet it appears
that because my focus has been on more biblical and
more conspiratorial, well, we've just had a whole lot of
both faith driven and conspiratorial news popping up ever since
I made the shift, you know. And I guess it's

(51:34):
to be expected. Because the election is over. Now there's
a lot less talk about just direct politics and more
talk about crazy things. Right. It's good. I'm glad I
want less politics, but it seems as if I keep
getting sucked in. But here's the thing I want you
to remember, just as an example of how short term
our memories are and how easy it is to take

(51:57):
us from one subject to the next. You know, we
have the LA fires. That's obviously the big news right now,
But just prior to the LA fires, the big news
that were the two attacks on New Year's Day, and
all of us were up in ours we were like, oh,
you know, it's the Vegas guy still alive? Is he
did he really do this? What about he's saying that

(52:18):
he knows something about the drones. He's doing this. We
were all about that, and all of a sudden poof,
it's gone. Prior to that, if you recall, there was
talk about this mystery fog right that continued for a
little while, and that wasn't big news, but there was
a lot of people discussing it as well as the drones.
The drones around Christmas and just before Christmas for about

(52:39):
a month, drones over New Jersey. That was a big news.
And all of a sudden poof, it's gone. And here
at some point, maybe this week, maybe next week, but
at some point in the very near future, the stories,
the discussions, everything about the LA fires will also be gone.

(53:02):
It will be replaced by whatever the big news of
that moment is. You know, we've got one week until
Donald Trump is officially inaugurated, Lord Willing, Nothing, no Shenanigan's
happened between now and then. We have one week until
that happens. And then once it does, we can expect
more of the same, more crazy things. Not more of
the same from him. I'm saying more of the same,

(53:24):
more more shifting in the in the narratives, more shifting
of the dialogues, the news cycle will be swaying moving,
and all of a sudden, this idea that Gavin Newsom
is toast will be replaced by what is Gavin Newsom
doing to fix this? And then it will be replaced
by what is Gavin Newsom doing to rebuild? And that

(53:45):
will be replaced with hey, huh, Gavin Newsom's doing a
pretty darn good job of getting this rebuilt. And then
all of a sudden it'll be twenty twenty six and
people will be talking about what is Gavin's next move?
And I don't know what his next move is, but
there will be a next move. I don't think that
he's going to pull a You know, a lot of candidates,
a lot of presidential candidates, when when they leave office,

(54:07):
whether as governor or senator or whatever, they'll take a
couple of years. Okay, Hillary Clinton did this, take a
couple of years of basically doing nothing before announcing their candidacy.
And that doing nothing is trying to stay on the spotlight.
That doesn't usually work. To be clear, Okay, people don't
That hasn't been an effective plan for a long time.
And I think that if Gavin Newsom could rerun, could

(54:29):
run again for California governor, he would do it and
then immediately start his presidential campaign for twenty twenty eight.
But I don't think that's obviously they can't happen because
he's being term limited out. So he's going to be
doing something, something big and in the public eye and
as soon as he is out of office, and that
will all coincide with the shortly thereafter the announcement that

(54:49):
he's going to be running for president of the United States.
The idea that Gavin Newsom has toasted, as much as
you don't want to hear it, it's not true, is
it's not true? If anything, as a Democrat, as as
somebody who can play the victim card and talk about
misinformation and disinformation and the right wing vast right wing
conspiracies and all this other stuff, he'll be just fine.

(55:11):
And that's very sad, and I'm well, it's sad, but
I'll be I'm okay with that. Look, I am they
the Party of of wokeness if their next presidential candidate
is another straight white male, rich businessman, plutocrat, you know,
the relative of Nancy Pelosi, part of the the Democrat establishment.

(55:35):
That would be just just beautiful because they they don't
realize it yet and I don't know if they ever will.
They don't realize that that their wokeness is why they
keep losing. It helped them for a little bit, but
those days are behind us. But I don't want to
get into the politics. Bottom line.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Is this.

Speaker 3 (55:56):
Ting this back to the beginning of the segment. Is
it poss that these fires were started in an effort
to clear the path, to make it much much easier
and much quicker for them to turn Los Angeles into
the smart city capital of the United States, if not
the smart city capital of the world. And I would

(56:18):
say the answer is, if they didn't plan it, it
certainly is awfully convenient for them to be able to
take advantage of it. Now here's a true story. I
was testing out some coffee. This has been almost a
year ago, testing out some coffee for a potential sponsor.

(56:41):
And I had made the coffee and I went about
my morning routine, did my work, doing my thing, and
then I took my first sip of coffee and it
struck me. I'm like, holy crap. I had forgotten that
I had was testing out this new coffee. I just
took the first sip and I was like, Wow, this
is really good. And then I remembered, oh my gosh,
this is Promise Grounds. This is the stuff that they

(57:01):
sent me. So I started drinking some more of it,
and I have become a life, lifetime customer of Promise Grounds.
They are a Christian, Christian coffee company, which I know
you don't see a whole lot of them. They give
back to the community. They're Texas, all American, all Texan,
just like a lot of the stuff that we do.
Check them out. Go to jd Rutger dot com slash
