Unknown (01:14):
Alright. Hey, folks.
Coming to you live tonight from the Asylum Studios and bringing you the best quality political talk radio we could muster
without all the bluster from the beautiful city of Eagle Pass, Texas.
This
is the podcast.
How you doing folks?
(01:35):
Great to be with you tonight.
Haven't used this one in a while.
It's pretty good. Yeah, I like
it. Can't decide which one I wanna use, to be honest with you.
It's one of those crazy crazy things, with me anyway. I get a little
(01:58):
nutty with this stuff. But folks, hey, it is great being with you again here on a beautiful
stormy
Friday night here in Eagle Pass, Texas.
We got thunder storms coming through in a in a little bit. So,
generally, what happens
is when we have these thunderstorms,
here where I am anyway, particularly, the power tends to
(02:21):
drop out. So, if we do lose power,
we'll just pick it up on Monday, and, we'll start fresh.
But we're gonna do the best we can to get through tonight's show.
Really, really glad to be with you again and, really glad to see,
so many people listening actually on the audio stream and looking at the numbers there. That's great. Hey. Welcome, folks. Appreciate that. And, to the folks that are watching right now on Rumble, thank you for being here with us on a Friday night. So we got a few changes coming down the road I just wanna let you guys know about.
(02:52):
So, next week,
we're gonna be, going back to our Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule, and we're gonna try to keep that schedule as much as we possibly can.
May 7, we have an interview scheduled,
with a guest, Charlie Johnson, who's gonna be with us. And we're excited to talk to Charlie. It's gonna be a really interesting conversation and,
(03:15):
looking forward to, to to hearing what he's got to say about, this particular subject that we're gonna talk about. And,
then,
after that,
we'll do our Friday show. So we'll be off Tuesday and Thursday.
Friday's show after Friday's show on the following Monday,
we're gonna do the best we possibly can do
(03:37):
to start the show earlier. We're gonna start the show maybe an hour earlier. So we'll be going from seven to nine as opposed to from, eight to ten. And, we do we have a couple of reasons why we're doing that, but,
it should be a better schedule,
for for you guys and,
and for some of our guests. There were there were some, issues with some guests that,
(03:59):
we needed to make adjustments for, because of time differences and and and whatnot.
And don't mind doing that at all, but
figured that, you know, we might as well just change the time all around. So that's what we decided we're gonna do. And so, going forward, as of next Monday,
we'll be going from seven to nine.
And, so hopefully, you guys can be there for that. And,
(04:22):
if not, just, you know, go ahead. Just let just watch it or listen to it later on.
No matter how you do it, we just appreciate you guys spending your time with us.
I know there's plenty of other shows out there that are much better than than what we can bring you sometimes,
but,
those guys are more professional because this is what they do. I have another job, and it's still difficult sometimes
(04:45):
to, to put together something and,
something coherent.
So,
so I do appreciate you guys spending your time with us, and, we got, we got a lot of stuff you wanna talk about tonight,

really great and powerful,
supplements, vitamins, and apparel.
So,

really a good product.
I started taking that about, like, two weeks ago. We did the opening
(10:05):
ceremony,
so to speak, right here on the show on a Thursday night, and,
we took that first dose right there on the show with you. So,
check it out, man. I've been I've been using it now for, like I said, about two weeks. And,
each time I each time I dose it, it, you know, I'm starting to feel a little bit different, with each each time I take it. So,
(10:26):
you definitely need to try that out. I'm not gonna say I get the the electricity shooting down through the fingers like Alex Jones says,
and I'm not gonna say that I get that electrical feeling through the whole body and, you know, I have these moments of, like, clarity and whatnot. I just feel good. I feel like I have a lot of extra energy,
more than I did before. It kinda helps me get through the morning.
(10:50):
I'm not a morning person at all. I am definitely a night owl,
almost like a vampire, basically. And so, you know, working a full time day job
makes it a little hard. But,
this is,
but this stuff that since I started taking it for the last two weeks has been really good. Gives gives me a good level energy as going throughout the day. It's not like one of those,
(11:13):
energy drinks that you take where you feel jittery all day long, and, you know, you can't sleep and and whatnot. This stuff is really good. And, so you should definitely try that out. So you can find that on the alexjonesstore.com/joe.

So they'll they'll place them wherever they see fit.
(12:21):
But, if you wanna go without
the interruptions, you can purchase a Rumble premium package, which is really not expensive at all. You're talking maybe $10 a month, you know, at at at the lowest lowest end package. Certain shows have, their own, Rumble premium deal,

(12:42):
it's,
$99 for a year. You know? So but however you wanna go about it, just try it out. Check it out.
It's up to you entirely. And that's one of the great things about Rumble. It's a free speech platform.
You don't have to worry about things you have to worry about on, on platforms like YouTube and and all that stuff. You can say what you have to say. So you should definitely come on over and check it out. Alright. Well, with all of that said, like, like always, what we're going to do is we're gonna say goodbye to the folks that are watching on YouTube. We're gonna say goodbye to the folks that are watching on Twitch and x as well.
(13:15):
And,
the main reason for that is, you know, for for,
Twitch and x is that we don't really have a lot of people watching,
so so we just shut it down. And then,
and on YouTube, we just don't wanna have to deal with, getting the strikes and the sensors and all that stuff. So,
so, we might eventually, at some point, stop streaming on on YouTube as well. But we'll see. I mean, altogether.
(13:38):
But we'll see. We're we're working that out. Alright, folks. So, again, to those folks that are watching on YouTube, Twitch, and x, hopefully, you'll join us over on Rumble. Come on over because we are gonna say goodbye right now, and have a great weekend.
And we'll see you Monday if you don't come on over to us.
Alright. Well, there it is. We are
(14:01):
we are done with that. Alright. So with all of that said, I think that we should probably get to our stuff for today. So let's
oh, dang it. Keep on banging the mic. Alright. So let's just do that.
(14:25):
Alright. Sorry. I had to give an order.
I have my Alexa unit over here. I forgot to do something.
Alright. Well, we got a lot here in front of us. I pulled out about 21
stories that we wanted to cover. We got a so we got a big stack here and gonna talk about a few different different things, but we're gonna also talk a lot about,
(14:48):
the,
the economy.
Not exactly the strong point for me, but,
I think with the with the stories that I have here,
should make
it pretty pretty easy to to follow along.
And, let's, but we'll get to that shortly. So, one of the first things that I I came across today when I was going through my emails,
(15:09):
there was the I wonder if this worked. Let me try something.
Yes.
Very cool. Alright.
So one of the thing, so I get all these emails from all these different, news outlets,
you know, the typical stuff like, you know, Fox News and Zero Hedge and
and,
(15:30):
conservative brief and, you know, all on Just the News, by the way, is a really good one. I like that one very much.
So I I get all this stuff, and I I was going through some of these articles, and I came across this one thing here
and, which,
I might have missed it somewhere along the way, but, I haven't really heard anything mentioned about this.
If you remember,
(15:52):
Ryan
Ralph or Ryan Ruth,
he was
the guy that,
tried to,
assassinate
Donald Trump
out in flier out in Florida at Mar A Lago when he was out golfing.
So
(16:13):
there's there's he has a really very interesting history.
If if you look at some of the affiliations you had, if you know who I'm talking about,
basically,
what I find interesting about this guy is with all of his connections with
the, with with the government, you know,
all of the connections with the FBI,
(16:37):
and all all of that stuff to me is just really, really suspicious.
And, something else had come up. And I again, I saw this today.
Like, I wanna know who this guy is. You we really don't have very much information about this guy. But
what I found really interesting was,
(16:57):
on, what day was this?
So on April 29, there was this, series of,
posts that went out on x.
And apparently, this guy,
in addition to everything else
that he's been involved with leading up to,
his attempt on Donald Trump,
(17:19):
this guy also
appears to have been a human smuggler.
Yeah. A human smuggler.
On Monday, the Department of Justice released court documents which revealed text messages between the second attempted assassin of president Donald Trump, Ryan Wesley Routh, an alleged and an alleged human trafficker in Mexico
(17:43):
about smuggling Afghans into The United States.
The discussions with the alleged human trafficker referred to as Romero
took place in February
2024.
The DOJ included these text messages,
the DOJ included these text messages, the court filing,
while responding to,
(18:04):
Ralph's motion to suppress evidence about his alleged human smuggling activities.
While Ralph's attorney claims the communications with Rameera had nothing to do with the attempted assassination of the president of the president, the DOJ filing said that they are direct evidence of Ralph's attempt to assassin the president and become a fugitive of justice.
So,
(18:25):
so we have some of these texts here. So let me let me do a screen share on this
and show you exactly here what it is
that I'm looking at.
So here you go.
So
these are the texts, and this was a a post by Ken Silva.
(18:45):
Last night, the DOJ released texts between Ryan Ralph and the Mexican human smuggler about smuggling Afghans into The US. These texts show that the smuggler was going to drop the Afghans off at the border and and have them apply for asylum.
And then here are some of the screenshots of the texts.
And, you know,
obviously, things were redacted here for,
(19:12):
to protect names and identities of innocent parties in this whole thing.
And then he goes on to say the, Ryan Ralph's attorneys wanna ban the DOJ from introducing evidence that their client was in touch with human trafficker in Mexico about smuggling Afghanistan in The US last year, argue that such evidence is irrelevant to whether Ralph tried killing Trump last September.
(19:34):
And, just some interesting
I don't know if we got
a have to reshare that. Sorry.
There we go. I didn't log in.
So we also attempted to purchase anti aircraft weapons,
50 caliber rifles,
(19:56):
the aliases that he used. I mean,
you know, like like I said, like, who is this guy?
How connected is he with
the government? I mean,
just think about it. I mean, he had he somehow was able to gain access to Mar A Lago,
(20:19):
get past the Secret Service,
get onto the get onto the property and secure himself
in shrubbery,
and came within
feet
of being able
to shoot and possibly kill the president of well, the future president of The United States at the time.
(20:45):
How did he do that? How did he get by all that security? How did he get by
the secret service? And and and,
you know, it it's a lot of questions. And this guy is like he's like a mystery. There's like the information that's available about him
isn't the most revealing.
(21:06):
A lot of it, I feel, is being suppressed.
Ralph's defense attorneys have argued that they're okay with the DOJ presenting evidence of their client's communications with Romero, but not from earlier that year. It's unclear,
when judge Aileen Cannon will rule on the matter. The parties are set to meet for a status conference on May 14.
(21:28):
Now this is what I'm saying where you this is this is why
the I I question
how much involvement,
folks who work with the federal government have in this because Ralph worked with The US intelligence agencies to expand American foreign legion
in Ukraine,
and he had a 300 page manifesto,
(21:50):
that called for nuclear war.
Mike Benz, who's a former US Department of State official,
said that there's a 95%
chance
that this guy Ralph was working with the Biden administration.
Routh was,
he was described by a US Medic who volunteered in in Ukraine as a ticking time bomb, but as a crusader for causes large and small by the New York Times.
(22:21):
Now
president Trump has has said recently that he's he's ready to release
the files on the two attempted assassins. So, you know, I'm I'm hoping
that it comes out soon because I really like to know more about this guy.
Because the more that the more the more the things that come up, the more you start to realize that this guy
(22:41):
I mean, he really there's a
I mean, well, Mike Ben says 95%
chance.
I
don't know.
But I really do wanna know. So hopefully we get those files soon.
(23:02):
And then, something else. So we talked about this,
on
Wednesday. Right? See, I'm I'm lost today because we didn't do the show yesterday. That's why. So,
so, we talked about this on on Wednesday.
And,
this was at a,
(23:26):
the cabinet meeting that president Trump held. Sorry. I'm a little I didn't take my my blue methylene today, so so that's a little foggy. But, but,
but at at a a cabinet meeting, Marco Rubio,
made some very interesting statements, and this is this is one of them. When I played this on Wednesday, I'm gonna play it again for you.
(23:47):
Something else we got out of the business, so why wasn't widely reported or maybe it was. We had a depart we had an office in the Department of State whose job it was to censor Americans.
And by the way, the I'm not gonna say who it is. I'll leave it up to them. There's at least one person at this table today who had a dossier in that building
of social media posts to identify them as purveyors of disinformation.
(24:08):
We have these dossiers.
We are gonna be turning those over to these individuals.
Elon.
We can follow-up with the media story.
Well, we are going to turn over these dossiers to the individuals,
and they'll decide whether they wanna disclose it or not. But just think about it. The Department of State of the United States had set up an office to to monitor the social media post and commentary of American citizens
(24:32):
to identify them as vectors of disinformation
when we know that the best way to combat disinformation is freedom of speech and transparency.
And so that's what we're gonna be in the business of doing. We're not gonna have an office that does that.
Now,
of course, the mainstream media
is spinning this whole story here,
(24:53):
because Rubio is gonna release these documents.
And, he's,
and and you're talking about some very high profile people
are on these lists.
You're talking people like Elon Musk and Joe Rogan,
JD Vance,
Alex Jones.
I think I think they said there's, like, 12
(25:14):
really prominent people
that were on this that were in these into these dossiers
as,
as as individuals that were spreading misinformation and disinformation.
So, of course, the the the mainstream media is,
(25:36):
you know, they're spinning
secretary Rubio's
efforts here as a,
as a, quote, unquote, witch hunt.
Now it's not a witch hunt.
It's it's it's far from a witch hunt. What what Marco Rubio is doing here is that he is he is exposing
(25:56):
the illegal targeting of Americans,
and he's appointed,
the
acting undersecretary
of state Darren Beatty,
to head the to head the,
the investigation into this.
The US state department is the article. The US state department has begun the release of files documenting the illegal targeting of prominent Americans who are effective in challenging the Biden and Obama administration's narrative and corruption.
(26:27):
And like we said, the MSM is is spinning secretary of state Rubio's sweeping effort as a witch hunt.
But what it is is actually Marco Rubio is, is is exposing the illegal targeting of American citizens.
Now back in March, Beatty filed an 11 page request for all records of internal communications,
related to 39 individuals
(26:48):
and 16
organizations
who track disinformation
or criticize president Donald Trump and his allies
is what the Daily Beast says. Because, of course, they're gonna blame Trump for all this. Right?
So the Daily Beast says this. The state department also sought documents and correspondence from staff that mentioned controversial names such as Trump, Elon Musk, Alex Jones,
(27:14):
Joe Rogan, Robert f Kennedy junior, as well as keywords like Black Lives Matter, January sixth, QAnon, immigration, and anti vaxx.
So
the the so
the the fruit of this investigation that was hinted at by by, secretary
Rubio during that cabinet meeting,
(27:39):
that that these
that these dossiers classified
citizens as vectors of disinformation,
and the intent of the whole thing was to,
to censor them, to shut them up, and keep them quiet.
The article goes on to say that this deep state targeting launches a formula that starts with providing a script for NGOs and so called fact checkers to follow and then results in a cascading effort of character assassination in pop culture and media that commonly leads to lawfare and debanking.
(28:15):
Of course, now remember they all said, oh, no. No. Nobody was ever debanked.
Americans recently saw a demonstration of this targeting against Elon Musk when it came to light. Now, I don't know if you remember this. This came out sometime ago a little while ago,
but it came to light that Reuters,
you know, Reuters, you know, the news outlet, was paid the newswire service was paid over $9,000,000
(28:39):
to run
illegal
social engineering operations
against American citizens
for active social engineering defense and large scale
social
deception.
Can you believe that?
Can you believe that?
The DOD paid Reuters
(29:03):
over $9,000,000
to run this social engineering operation against you,
against the American people.
Let me show you.
Right here.
(29:25):
Department of Defense.
Thompson Reuters special services.
Active social engineering defense,
large scale
social
deception.
(29:50):
Reuters was paid millions of dollars.
Another one.
So, folks, your government
did everything in their power
to
silence you,
(30:14):
to shut you up talking about things like
COVID nineteen, the origins of COVID nineteen,
January sixth,
vaccines,
all of that
to try to usher in this
(30:36):
globalist agenda
to break the sovereignty of The United States.
And like we said yesterday,
Wednesday rather,
you know, once The United States falls,
and, you know, I hate to say it, but eventually it will.
That's it. It's game over.
It's game over.
(30:56):
And, again, thank God that we have Donald Trump. We have Marco Rubio. We have RFK. We have we have all this we have this incredible bench
right now in this administration
bringing all of this stuff to light. And hopefully, people are paying attention. Hopefully, people are listening to this because if
I'm telling you. I promise you this.
(31:19):
If the left
gets control of the government again,
it's gonna be worse.
It's gonna be even worse
than it was the last time.
It's interesting how quickly people forget
just how bad it was
(31:41):
with the government,
the totalitarian the authoritarian
government,
locking people in their homes,
restricting their actions, restricting their movements,
keeping them from seeing family, loved ones.
(32:07):
You can't gather with your family for Thanksgiving. You can't gather with your family for Christmas, but yet they were.
The elite.
Gavin Newsom was having holiday parties and dinners and lavish dinners, and governor Cuomo in in New York was having the same thing,
parties,
(32:27):
sex parties
over
there in New York City.
All while they controlled every aspect of your life.
Don't forget. And and people do quickly forget too is that how
everybody's
(32:47):
job was on the line
if they didn't take the vaccine, and I was one of them. I'm telling you. I
I held out
as long as it was possible to do.
I had my one of my bosses tell me, hey. You know, ask me if I if I was gonna get the vaccine, and I said, no. I'm not taking the the death shot. No. I'm not taking it.
(33:09):
And he was like, well, if you don't take it by the end of the day tomorrow, then don't come back to work Monday.
And I was fine with that.
You know, I didn't wanna be out of work, of course not. I mean, I I had bills to pay, I had obligations to meet and all that stuff. You don't wanna be out of work,
but I wasn't gonna take the shot.
(33:31):
I held out, I didn't.
And then
just by the I actually, I packed up my desk. I was ready to go.
And Friday that that Friday came the next day, and
I was getting ready to walk out. I was gonna I'd had the box ready, and
(33:51):
my boss called and said
they did away with the requirement for it.
But so I know. And I'm I'm that's what I'm saying. It's like my point was that, you know, I I know what I'm talking about with this. People's jobs were on the line. What about all the military personnel that were were relieved of duty because they wouldn't take the shot?
(34:13):
What about all that?
People
forget. People forget.
And you know that they use these things. They chip away. They chip away. They chip away at your rights. They chip away at your freedoms.
They use events like this,
preplanned events. Don't you find it interesting that right before the the the the pandemic
officially became the pandemic,
(34:37):
they did a a test run called event two event two zero one,
which was interestingly enough,
how to how to lock down
for a pandemic.
And then strangely enough,
(34:58):
short time after that,
oh, we have a pandemic.
Coincidentally,
they were able to
lock everybody down.
And how many people willingly, like sheep, just went right to it and just did it,
complied?
Get the shot. Get another shot. Get another shot. Get another shot.
(35:28):
And then you had the federal government establishing offices like this that we're talking about here,
where they targeted people for talking about it.
How many people how many people listening or watching were were were censored on on their social media platforms, like, Twitter at the time, before Elon Musk took it over,
or Facebook,
(35:49):
YouTube, you got deplatformed.
People forget.
And that was all at the prodding and the pushing of the federal government and their and the federal government taking your money, your tax money, the money that you pay into the into this
monstrosity
of a system
(36:10):
and used it against you
to push that
agenda, to push that narrative.
People forget,
but you can't forget.
This is something that could never happen again.
(36:33):
And that's why I say, thank God that you have
a man like Donald Trump in the White House right now.
Why
we should be thankful that we have people like Marco Rubio who brought this to the public attention.
He could not. He he he could have just sat on it and, you know, kept it on the down low and not talked about it at all, not many even mentioned it,
(36:57):
but they brought it out.
This is the most transparent administration I have ever seen.
In all the years that I follow politics, this is the most transparent administration I've ever seen. It's refreshing.
Disturbing in a lot of ways.
Very disturbing in a lot of ways, but refreshing at the same time.
(37:27):
And that's gonna bring me up to,
I wanna talk to you a little bit about James O'Keefe.
Now I don't know if you if you if you know who James O'Keefe is. He is,
he is the founder of, Project Veritas,
the original founder of Project Veritas.
And then,
(37:47):
he went out and he did a lot of exposing
of,
corruption
in
in in government,
in business,
and
He's exposed
many,
many high profile individuals
(38:10):
that hold or held
powerful,
influential positions in in in different organizations,
and, you know, he exposed all of the,
all all the things like like diversity, equity, inclusion,
race based discrimination,
(38:31):
and and so many other things. I mean, it it's the list goes on.
And eventually eventually,
the Project Veritas board, you know, had him leave, and he went and he started up another media company called,
O'Keefe Media Group, OMG.
Well,
(38:51):
recently, he he posted something on social media that,
it was kinda kinda cryptic, kinda scary,
and it kinda makes you think,
Well, let let's let's hear what he has to say.
(39:13):
I'm going dark.
I'm not suicidal.
Pray for me.
This one
scares
me,
guys.
Well, that's kinda
interesting.
(39:36):
Well,
O'Keefe went on to, Benny Johnson's
show,
where he he announced that,
he's gonna drop a massive
bombshell
in the coming weeks or months
that's involving,
(39:58):
billions
billions of dollars in government corruption
and could actually lead to indictments.
I would love to see that,
you know, and hopefully it does.
But,
here's,
here's O'Keefe on Benny Johnson's show.
(40:19):
Okay. Well, we await,
your bombshell report.
Obviously, when James says things like this, when he when James says when other people come on the program and say, look, the work I'm doing is gonna lead to indictments,
the vast majority of them haven't ever done that. James has done that.
James did that. James has done this before. I mean, I've known you for fifteen. Remember the Acorn story? There were, like, five or six tapes.
(40:42):
We'd,
if the work that I'm about to release, I'm talking about in a month, month and a half, doesn't lead to indictments, then I'm gonna come on your program, and I'm gonna be pissed off. Because I have these people breaking the law, and I gotta give a little more,
so they don't, you know, come out some technicality,
but I'm gonna be upset at these prosecutors, and I will hold these prosecutors accountable.
(41:02):
I'll investigate them
because, you know, we are a nation of laws. We are we're supposed to be equal before the law, e pluribus unum. That's what The United States is all about, and this is our opportunity.
But I have faith.
Content is king. You catch them on video. Stay tuned.
Wow. Just just just a final follow-up. This is Acorn two point o, or is it bigger? Oh, it's much bigger because we're talking about corrupt government
(41:28):
Wow. Graft and corruption. Billion billions with a b.
Billions of dollars. Tens of billions of dollars.
Stay tuned.
Billions.
Billions of dollars.
So I I and and if it's as high profile as he says it is, and like he says, it's bigger than Acorn, bigger so this is
(41:50):
this is gonna be huge.
You can understand why
he put out that disclaimer. Now the only the only time people do that, and you and you should know this, even if you're paying attention to the news,
the only time people really come out and say that, you know, I'm not suicidal, make a public statement, you know, I'm not suicidal, is when
whatever it is that they're dealing with
(42:12):
has the potential
for them to be taken out,
assassinated,
disappeared,
as they say.
So it has to be something
pretty big, pretty serious.
And,
you know, just just to show you just a couple of things, I'm not gonna play all the clips because they're they're quite long.
But
(42:34):
but, here's O'Keefe
at his doing his doing his
usual amazing work
and,
talking with,
who is this guy? I lost it.
This is where he exposed Jonathan Ferrer, the HR director of California's Summit Public Schools saying,
(42:58):
that he prefers black and trans
transgender job applicants.
If it plays,
which doesn't seem like it.
You get presented with unequal merits Yeah. Like a white person and a black black person or whatever.
(43:19):
Yeah. No no matter what. Yeah. No matter what. Yeah. An HR director for a California charter school says that in choosing between a white and black applicant,
he'll choose a black applicant
no matter what.
No matter what is not only a violation of California state law, but also the school's own policy.
The HR director for Summit Public Schools continues to tell our journalists they look specifically for transgendered
(43:42):
people
and people of color to teach the school children. If it's a person of color, great. If it's a trans teacher, great. You know? And so I think it's just culturally, we just naturally look for those folks. We asked Jonathan Ferrer, the HR director from Summit Public Schools, if he would hire a conservative person or a MAGA person.
Farrah says the school would avoid hiring any MAGA people. You're hiring, like,
(44:05):
MAGA people for staff sometimes if it just happens or I don't think we would. Like in Nevada. Like, I don't think we would. Oh my god. Talking way too much. I'm feeling so bad. I I feel like I'm talking your ear out. I'm talking way too much.
HR
So that's just, just to give you one one example there. And then and then there was,
(44:27):
when he
also
exposed
the, MGM Resorts marketing director in Springfield, Massachusetts, Albie
Velarde, saying that he would
probably hire the African American when presented with two equally qualified candidates because if they, whites, are not, no matter how great they are or how great they look on paper, they don't fit well with my team.
(44:54):
So you had an African American guy and that white guy who you did hire both together for that role. Say they're equal on all merits.
I'm hiring African American. Yeah. You just have to be very careful. Right? If our guests cannot connect with our employees
and if they're all white, it just doesn't resonate the same way. So in that situation, you would be weeding out by race, essentially.
I would as well. Look at that. Right?
(45:16):
We chose to investigate MGM. This led us to Albi Velardi,
the director of casino marketing at MGM Resorts. Albi Velardi states he won't hire
(45:39):
The casino marketing director for MGM reveals that if MGM was to lose a female employee,
MGM HR will instruct their hiring management to obtain more female employees based upon their turn summary. Have you ever gotten memos from Hireup about, like, we wanna hire this certain type of people or we don't wanna hire this certain type of people? I don't like I didn't I did a property level. HR sends us every employee. They send us, like,
(46:02):
our turnover,
avoids doing business with standard companies,
(46:23):
preferring only to work with diversity based companies. For me, personally, like, I like, instead of going to big companies to supply me for me, sometimes I'll find more business I can do with me
to help out local businesses. I will purposely look for
those diversified suppliers.
Because I think that is a women's own company, whether that is a, you know, a, you know, a black owned company of some sort, whatever it is. I'm like,
(46:51):
that's exactly what I want. But anyway And I think, like, the And, of course, there were others as well. I'm not gonna play that whole clip. That that was, like, a fifteen minute clip.
There was also,
which I don't have the clip to show you, but,
there was also when he exposed Nicholas Terza,
who was a a Department of Defense branch chief
(47:12):
and,
allegedly
calling Trump
illegitimate and terribly immoral and vowing to resist him in everything that he does.
So these are the types of things that get exposed
by,
O'Keefe.
So
when
(47:32):
when when he
and since the and since the deep state really hasn't been
dismantled successfully yet,
I I think I think taking that warning from O'Keefe
it shouldn't be taken lightly.
And so, of course, you know, we're gonna pray for his safety and for all the work that he does.
(48:01):
So,
moving on to other stuff, you know, especially with talking about the government and, the corruption in the government.
So Elon Musk and, the Doge team
sat down with, with, Jesse Waters,
and, and they talked about talked about the first hundred days of of this term,
(48:24):
and they started off the meeting with,
one Doge member. I'm not gonna show the the the the whole video that I have because it's, like, thirty minutes long. But,
but starting off the meeting, one DOGE member noted that Department of Education had a $4,000,000,000
$4,000,000,000
fund
where spending was not tracked,
(48:45):
and officials were using the money to rent out huge venues such as sports stadiums for parties and other unnecessary events.
Now
DOGE is requiring
receipts
when a DOE employee spends money using the fund.
But, you know, Musk, at the meeting, explained that,
department workers stopped drawing from the stash after being
(49:07):
asked for receipts.
And he said that was the only change made. You must upload your receipt, and upon doing so, nobody drew money anymore.
Doge also found that the Small Business Administration was giving around $330,000,000
to individuals who were 15 years old and some who were less than 11 years old. There were also loans given out to people who have yet to be born
(49:29):
with birth dates a hundred years in the future.
The team went on to describe the United States Institute of Peace
as ironically being the least peaceful agency Doge has worked with. We went to the agency. We found that we had that they had loaded guns inside of their headquarters,
the Institute for Peace.
Any organizational name
(49:50):
is gonna is going to kind of be the opposite of the title.
The peace agency even had a hundred and $30,000
contract with a former member of the Taliban.
Interesting.
Right? Your tax dollars.
Within a few hours of entering The US IP headquarters, Doge staffers said they found the agency's chief accountant
(50:11):
illegally
deleted over a terabyte of accounting records from several years that was eventually recovered.
The data showed all unspent money from the $55,000,000
a year Congress,
granted USIP was placed into a private bank account,
which has no congressional oversight.
(50:31):
Did you hear that?
$55,000,000
a year
was placed into a private bank account that had no congressional oversight,
and that's what they would use to fund events at their headquarters and private jets.
Waters then asked them because when you when you cast them doing Hillary style stuff on their computers, do you refer to this to the justice department?
(50:56):
A staffer responded saying that The US IP accounting deletion was referred to the FBI and DOJ,
and,
and then this little exchange,
took place.
Who's Big Balls?
It's Big.
That should be obvious.
(51:16):
Why do they call you Big Balls? I just said it's my wait to end username.
Okay.
Well, people in LinkedIn take themselves, like, super seriously,
and they're pretty adverse to risk. And I was like, well, I wanna be neither of those things. So I just I said it, and then, honestly, I didn't even think anyone would notice.
(51:41):
Yeah. So when you clicked in this. Don't cringe.
What what does BigBalls do? Right now, I'm working on some payment computer stuff. So one of our initiatives is to root out fraud and waste.
And to do that, we started looking at the payment computers.
And as mentioned earlier, like, there is no accounting of what payments actually go to in the payment computer.
(52:02):
So, like, you look at a specific line item, like $20,000,000.
You're like, okay. Well, what is this money going to?
And for the majority of payment systems, it's like, well, we don't really know.
And they're like, what?
That would be the response. Is this the most basic responses?
Yeah. Yeah. That's the most common response.
(52:23):
What do you say when people just say, I don't know? Well, it's a huge cause for concern because,
like, the upstream thing, which is distributing the money, literally has no checks,
and no no accountability to the actual American taxpayer.
So it's a huge vector for fraud, waste, and abuse. Do these people not respect taxpayer money?
(52:43):
I mean, there's no incentive to you if you work in the government.
I think the incentives will always decide the outcomes. Yes. Do you guys feel like you're putting yourself at risk by doing this because you're stirring up
so much hostility
by these people ripping us off? A %.
Well, we don't need to speculate about that.
You can see online in in the protests
(53:06):
that,
they make that very clear.
I mean, I've been hanged in effigy many times,
and,
there have been people that have actively advocated at these violent protests
violent protests,
for my death,
and who also advocated for the death of the the
(53:27):
people at Doge.
I think,
Yahoo. So
don't you find it interesting how,
they would ask the question,
and the answer would generally be, I don't know.
(53:48):
No matter what, it was, I don't know. I don't know. You have no idea where this money's going? You have no idea where this payment's going? I don't know. I don't know.
If there's one thing that this interview came back with is that it shows the amount of transparency,
into what the Doge team is actually working on, and, you know, in in
in trying to,
filter out all this corruption
(54:09):
and and and and the fraud, the waste, the abuse that takes place
in these
federal
agencies
that you pay for with your tax dollars.
So
it's you know you know, this
you need you needed this.
You needed to see this.
And if you have if you can, you know, you can go over to,
(54:34):
on, on x, and you can see the whole the whole interview
that they had.
It's really it's it's it's enlightening.
So but
with excuse me. I just I guzzled some coffee.
(54:56):
So I
sorry.
Not to be gross. I'm sorry. You know? But,
so
so in in the same line, so you have the hundred days of the of the president's administration. You have the hundred days of Doge.
And, you know, they, you know, Doge has said that they've they've trimmed $200,000,000,000
(55:17):
off
the budget.
Alright. Well,
that's great.
That's great.
So,
let's see. The Department of Government Efficiency has helped federal agencies terminate
8,500
contracts, saving taxpayers up to a hundred and $60,000,000,000
in the first hundred days of of Trump's second term.
(55:40):
It also axed nearly 10,000
grants totaling 33 billing billion,
including many from USAID. Remember, we talked about that extensively.
Doge
terminated 650
leases
resulting in about $311,000,000
in savings.
(56:07):
So that comes to about a fifth of the trillion dollars that that Elon Musk has hoped to cut out of the federal budget,
though many of the big ticket savings were costs set to be spread over multiple years.
Let's see. Musk said he he will soon spend significantly less time on Doge. Now Doge isn't going away.
(56:29):
Doge is still gonna be in effect, but Elon Musk is gonna be stepping back. And as that was planned, he it was I think it was May, sometime in this month. He was supposed to step back from it.
But let's let's let's take a look at some of the other things that, that that Doge has done. So
so so some of the contract terminations were, $3,000,000,000
(56:51):
for an office of refugee resettlement influx care facility,
to house up to 3,000 unaccompanied alien children.
The contract was to Family Endeavors, which hit a contracting jackpot after adding former Biden administration official to its paycheck to to its payroll.
Half a million children were separated from their parents because of a loophole that granted them the ability to stay in The United States if they were unaccompanied.
(57:15):
The federal government kept the children secret from the state child welfare agencies even though they were vulnerable to sex and labor traffickers, and one third of accompanied unaccompanied minors disappeared
after they were sent to live with, quote, unquote, sponsors.
Let's see. $1,900,000,000
for a seven year contract providing technology services to the IRS.
(57:38):
The contract to Centennial Technologies was signed in August 2024, and no money was spent before it was canceled according to federal records. In the last ten years, Centennial has been listed as receiving only $15,000,000
in government contracts. Only $15,000,000.
Let's see. Up to 1,700,000,000.0
to, a one Fed Impact LLC for tech work.
(58:00):
Federal contracting records list the potential total as 2,400,000,000.0.
Then that was tech work for the Defense Health Agency.
$1,000,000,000
contract to
Securigence
LLC, another government IT company in the Virginia suburbs outside of Washington, DC.
(58:21):
That was cut in half.
Then there was
the proposed $318,000,000
contract to the Office of Personnel Management for Human Resource related products and services, and that was canceled before it could be awarded. And then you had grants. The largest grants that were canceled were 2,600,000,000.0
from USAID
to the Gavi Foundation for the for the Global Communities Immunization Agenda '20 '30, which was endorsed by the World Health Assembly in May 2020.
(58:50):
Nearly a billion dollars was spent before it was canceled.
A $1,500,000,000
contract from the Department of Health and Human Services
to, Texas was cut in half with no details provided.
Most of the money from a $1,000,000,000
USAID grant to the World Health Organization for polio immunization was halted before it went out the door.
(59:11):
Nearly half a billion was shaved off of a $1,500,000,000
grant to public health foundation enterprises,
operating as Haluna Health.
Since 1998, this nonprofit has received a few million dollars per year from the Centers for Disease Control and National Institutes of Health, operating as a pass through that sends money to other groups performing public health research
(59:31):
interventions.
That jumped to half a billion
that jumped to half a billion and nearly 3,000,000,000 in 02/2021.
So
it's an awful lot of money.
It's a lot of money that goes out the door for for for these things. And and I think probably the more egregious stuff is a lot of this stuff is going out to places
(59:58):
and countries
and organizations that hate you, that hate America, and everything that America stands for,
which I can never really understand
why we'd be paying them that. Anything.
But then again, the answer really is
it's all a money money laundering operation.
(01:00:27):
Alright. Let's move on to,
oh, my favorite. One of my favorites. I I have a I have a few favorites in this administration. I I I truly do. But but, Tom Homan.
You gotta love
Tom Homan.
You just do.
Tom Homan.
The reason why you gotta love Tom Homan is because he doesn't pull any punches. He says it exactly like it is.
(01:00:52):
You know? That's a that's that's a New Yorker for you, and that's the way it is.
And,
so Tom Homan was
on arresting sanctuary city leaders harboring illegal aliens.
So this was a, from Breitbart.
The Trump administration has plans,
(01:01:16):
for leaders of sanctuary cities who are harboring illegal aliens. Trump board is our Tom Homan previewed this this week cheekily telling reporters to wait.
And, let's
let's let's let Tom Homan say it himself,
if I could find it.
Here it is.
So
the president signed an executive order,
(01:01:38):
just this week,
threatening
to defund sanctuary cities for their policies. Why not just arrest the leaders who are harboring and shielding illegal aliens, actually terrorists
from deportation?
When did you see what's coming?
That's it.
That was the whole clip.
Wait till you see what's coming.
(01:02:00):
So that that,
you know, when it's about cryptic,
I would like to see what's coming.
I'm looking forward to it because
this insanity
that the left
has
with protecting
criminals
is just absolutely mind numbing. I I
(01:02:22):
This this is the party that claims that they are the the great defenders of women, but yet they allow men into women's sports.
This is the party that talks about how much they wanna defend women and, protect women, and yet you have
men like,
Kilmar Abrego Garcia
(01:02:43):
that,
the more you start to hear about this guy,
the more you realize
that
this problem with that that this that this problem with,
Abrego Garcia
is is just getting a lot worse for the Democrats.
(01:03:07):
A lot worse
because more information is coming out about just what a horrible,
horrible man this was, this this
Maryland man
who was here illegally,
a human trafficker,
as we found out in in recent days.
(01:03:29):
An abuser, a wife
he he abused his he abused his wife physically,
verbally,
mentally.
Let me see if I have that. Bill Malugen
(01:03:52):
has some posts.
So let me let me back it up this way.
So,
let me just go to the article. So immigration has been president Trump's best issue since returning to the office. Democrats have been desperate for a narrative to knock him off his feet. Somehow,
(01:04:13):
they landed on demanding the return of a suspected MS thirteen gang member, Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Several Democrats have even taken taxpayer funded trips to El Salvador to meet with Abrego Garcia and demand his return
even after new evidence came out linking him to MS thirteen human trafficking and domestic abuse.
Things just got even worse for the Democrats. Fox News Digital uncovered that Abrego's Abrego Garcia's wife
(01:04:36):
filed not just one restraining order against him, but two. Now remember,
they were parading around pictures of her standing on a platform
with the signs, you know, with his picture on it, kissing the baby,
and, you know, with the teary eyes and, you know, just I just want him to come home. He's he is home. He's in El Salvador. It's where he belongs.
(01:04:58):
Anyway,
so
now
there's more documentation.
There's more evidence
of just the kind of man this Maryland man, this loving father, husband Maryland man is
with this,
02/2020
application,
that is is really quite disturbing when you read it.
(01:05:19):
The latest document, which was obtained and reviewed by Fox News Digital, adds to the mounting evidence against Abrego Garcia and alleges that his wife accused him of verbal and physical abuse against her and mental abuse against her children.
The petition for protection,
the petition for protection form filed in Maryland by Jennifer Vasquez Sura
(01:05:40):
has boxes checked off for acts of abuse, including kicking, slapping, shoving, mental injury of a child, and detaining against will.
On 08/11/2020,
Vasquez Sura asked for the petition to be rescinded, saying that her family wanted to take part
in, in their son's birthday, and Abrego Garcia also agreed to continue counseling.
(01:06:00):
And if he's,
and and if not, he's willing to sign divorce papers. The original petition form lists their son as Abrego Garcia's stepchildren
needing protection.
So,
this is
Bill Milugen's
post.
So the car he he writes, the current checklist for the Maryland man,
a Salvadoran illegal alien, alleged MS thirteen gang member reaffirmed by in immigration court by a judge,
(01:06:26):
accused of being a repeat
wife beater,
domestic abuser by his own wife multiple times, suspected of human trafficking trafficking
while in Tennessee.
Suspected of human trafficking in Tennessee
while driving convicted
(01:06:47):
human trafficker's vehicle with eight people and no luggage in it from Texas
to Maryland.
That's the tweet
down there at the bottom.
And then
you have this.
Her hone her own handwritten allegations against Kilmar Abrego Garcia from this 2020 protective order,
(01:07:13):
request.
I've redacted addresses, phone numbers, and identities of children.
This is separate from the 2021 protective order,
request that she filed against them.
So there it is.
And then what's even more disturbing is that this this form
states that he threatened her and told her ex mother-in-law that even if he even if he kills me,
(01:07:37):
no one can do anything to him. The document also says that,
or alleges that there was verbal and physical abuse toward her and mental abuse toward the children.
The form goes on to describe an incident in February
when he grabbed her by the hair in the car. In December 2019, he allegedly grabbed her hair in the car and dragged her out of the car, leaving her in the street.
(01:07:59):
She wrote that he also broke her son's tablet, broke doors in the house, pushed her against the wall, broke a phone and a television, and damaged the walls that, in that spring.
This comes after Fox News Digital reported
on written domestic violence allegations filed in court against Abrego Garcia by Vasquez Serra in 2021,
but the case was dismissed because she did not make it to court.
(01:08:20):
In the filing written by Vasquez's written in Vasquez's handwriting, she alleges Abrego Garcia repeatedly beat her, writing, at this point, I'm afraid to be close to him. I have multiple photos, videos of how violent he can he can be and all the bruises
he has left me.
Now this now all of this, it kinda does, you know, go
(01:08:41):
against the narrative that,
you know, this
this,
this guy, you know, Abrego Garcia was, you know, living this quiet, peaceful life in in Maryland,
as as the Democrats all, you know, and all of his defenders, you know, say about him.
He's had multiple interactions with the law,
(01:09:02):
with law enforcement,
and he could have been deported at any time.
So now
the article in PJ Media has a good question.
When will they admit that their poster trial for open borders proves a Republican case against them?
(01:09:22):
It's a great question.
That's a great question.
In fact,
Colin Rugg
posted
some new found audio
(01:09:46):
of Gilmore Borrego's wife
begging a judge
for a protective order from her husband,
her abusive husband.
Let's pull that up.
I came to fill out a protective order. I think it was in December.
(01:10:07):
But I didn't show up to the court because his family, like,
washed my brain telling me that his dad was sick and not to do it.
So it's I I didn't do anything. But after that, it was like,
I would call the police. I have a lot of police reports. And I kept trying to get to the door basement to try to open the door, and then, like, he pushed me. So then when I was able to go outside to get a, a phone,
(01:10:33):
I called 911 from a disconnected phone.
Now they took a long time to get to the house.
It was probably, like, twenty, thirty minutes.
So I saw a neighbor,
walking his dog, and I opened the door, and I was like, help. And then when he heard me, like, he grabbed me from my hair, and then he slapped me. And then the neighbor, like, he didn't know what to do. He didn't know what to react. I have pictures of the evidence, like, all the bruises because it's not, even on Wednesday, he hit me, like, around, like, three in the morning. He would just wake up and, like, hit me. And then last Saturday for my daughter's birthday party, before I went to my daughter's birthday party,
(01:11:07):
he slammed me three times. And then last week, I did call the police. My sister called the police because he hit me in front of my sister.
So that's that's the the Maryland man living the peaceful life
that we all wanna live.
(01:11:30):
There's also the body cam footage
that,
that's, that's come out.
Ladies and gentlemen, Owen
It's an hour.
We're not gonna play the whole thing.
Here, and we are about
(01:11:53):
to release Let me see if I can get this going.
I wanted to open up an x, but it's not letting me do it.
And why I'm streaming this
I'm learning what you guys are doing. That
(01:12:16):
So that's Abrego Garcia
in the driver's seat.
I I where are you in? Mhmm. I live in Maryland.
Maryland? Yeah. Awesome. 6638.
Whose whose vehicle is it? What? Excuse me? Whose car is it? It's through my boss.
(01:12:38):
My boss. In 02/2016.
Where's he at?
Where's your boss from? My my my boy right now is staying in Maryland, but we we live in on Texas. Houston, Texas.
Thanks, sir.
So I'll be placing the truck at service. I'm working out and start up here in the parking lot.
(01:13:05):
Jennifer Evans' party is valid. Your other party is Have you got to purchase insurance?
Yeah. I don't know where it's pointed in my.
Let me call.
(01:13:31):
So where are you guys coming from right now?
We're not.
Where where are you coming from?
From Samui.
And so I worked in San Luis. Very warm. So we're
not finished. The that's
(01:13:53):
project. I thought you I thought you was going to Missouri.
The the next project. I told you the next project next week is I'm going everybody going to Niceville.
The next project.
Okay. Yeah. Right now, what are y'all doing?
What kind of work is it? It is construction.
Like, remuneration,
(01:14:16):
maybe, drive or
everything like that. Does anybody else have a driver's license?
Driver license? Yeah. No. He Nobody. Calling me, sir.
He's dead. Can you find your insurance?
What you say? Your insurance. Can you find him? I called my boss because I don't know where where where the the car. Okay.
(01:14:42):
I'm gonna go back here and run your license and stuff real quick. Okay? I'll be right back.
Alright.
So
you kinda get the idea.
So that was the,
that was and there was more to it. Like I said, it's it's a long video, and,
(01:15:05):
it ultimately arrests
culminates with his arrest
for suspicion of human trafficking.
Alright? So,
that's this is who the Democrats are protecting.
Alright? And not just him alone. I'm I'm talking about this is the type of person that the Democrats are protecting.
And,
(01:15:26):
you see that also with the with the string of judges that have been,
arrested.
You had, Joel Cano, who was arrested, and then you had,
former judge Dugan that was arrested up in Wisconsin.
And then you had this other judge we were talking about the other day, Thurston.
So it
(01:15:47):
the left is just
the the the left is the most anti American party I've I've seen in my lifetime.
They they have completely flipped the script, and their true colors are coming out.
So
what's the what's the next step?
Well,
we gotta take
(01:16:09):
we gotta make sure that these,
these Democrat judges
are removed from the bench.
Congress really should
defund
the district courts,
and then reestablish them with
nonpartisan judges,
judges that are actually qualified to sit on the bench
(01:16:30):
and can leave their politics out of their decision making,
judge a case by the merits of the law,
not what they feel
is the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do.
But I I really do think that the next step should be to defund them, and Congress does have that authority and that ability to do it. It's a plenary authority that they have as,
(01:16:55):
as, dictated in the in the United States
Constitution, and they should remove these judges. Congress can remove judges for bad behavior.
And I think
looking at how these judges
are interfering with the
executive branch, I think that you can determine that that's being in bad behavior. And so the congress should step in at this point and shut this all down,
(01:17:21):
then reestablish the courts when the next when they're needed.
And, the another thing too about, Abrego Garcia particularly
is yeah. This is another one of those cases where
I I I kinda question
(01:17:42):
why
because did you you you heard in in a story that I read with his with his wife,
how she said that,
that he can basically do whatever he wants.
Like, he was protected. Now I know he's a gang member, MS thirteen. They're gonna protect him from,
(01:18:03):
you know, whatever repercussions are from his actions.
But then you find out about this,
where the FBI was told
under the Biden administration.
Well, I should say the other way around. The Biden administration, FBI,
(01:18:26):
told police
to release
MS thirteen gang member,
Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
When he was picked up
in Tennessee,
in the video that we just showed you,
(01:18:46):
the FBI told police in Tennessee who stopped Abrego
to release him
even though he was suspected
of human trafficking
and smuggling
illegal aliens
at the time.
(01:19:10):
Why would the FBI why would the Biden administration, FBI,
tell the Tennessee police
to release him?
(01:19:41):
Don't you find that interesting?
I find that incredibly interesting.
Is it possible that
Abrego Garcia is an asset to the FBI?
And the FBI was
(01:20:04):
protecting him,
Knowing full well that he was trafficking human beings
and trafficking illegal aliens? Is that do you think it's possible?
(01:20:29):
I don't know. The more the more I think about it, the more I'm starting to believe that.
I mean, can you believe that your government would would do something like that? Oh, absolutely.
Under the type of leadership that we had under the Biden administration, absolutely.
I mean, do I do I think there were, do you think a Republican administration,
(01:20:51):
as much as any other, couldn't do something,
you know,
illegal like that? Absolutely, they could.
This isn't a partisan thing. It's not a party thing.
But the track record of the previous administration,
yeah, I could absolutely see that.
So I guess that'll that's something that's gonna be looked at somewhere down the road. I hope, anyway.
(01:21:16):
Alright. So, I'm gonna start to to shut this down, but this is something I really wanted to get to. And we spent an an inordinate amount of time on on on that mess. But,
you hear a lot of this talk here in the media, about the economy and how,
the tariffs are are a bad idea, the tariffs are hurting America, that tariffs are hurting the the average person. And if you heard that,
(01:21:42):
that is the thunder, the thunderstorm I was told you was coming. So,
hopefully, we can finish this up before it really hits and, you know, the possibility of losing power. So you might hear that rumble in the background.
No matter how much insulation, no matter how much soundproofing you put in in in here
in Texas, you'll still hear that
through it all. So,
(01:22:04):
so, so anyway, you hear all this stuff in the news, all this negative stuff in the news about how these tariffs are not working. They're terrible for for the country. They're they're they're hurting the American,
consumer and and so on and so forth, and and all that stuff, and and how, you know,
it it's not affecting,
you know, countries like China and all that stuff, and and and we're losing the the this trade war and all that stuff.
(01:22:29):
But then you come across articles like this in Zero Hedge,
that China quietly walks back a quarter
of US import tariffs
amid economic crunch. China's already fragile economy faced serious crisis
from the tariff driven cuts to supply
(01:22:51):
to the supply of,
US
ethane.
So so China has quietly started to exempt some US goods from tariffs that are likely to cover around $40,000,000,000
worth of imports or around 24% of Chinese imports
from The US in 02/2024
in what looks like an effort to soften the blow of the trade war on its own economy.
(01:23:12):
China is likely trying to mitigate damage to its economy by avoiding a collapse in key imports, the PIPO said.
The exemptions should shouldn't be interpreted as a signal to The US
as China has been quiet about its exemptions working through, business channels and avoiding public statements.
So, he goes on to say, while this move mirrors the shift by the Trump administration exempting smartphones and other electronics from its own reciprocal tariffs, including of the 145%
(01:23:38):
levies on China, those, those US exemptions apply to about a hundred 2,000,000,000 or roughly 22% of US imports from China last year. We suspect that there is more behind this decision.
And,
I would agree.
I would absolutely agree.
(01:24:01):
The pre tariff
let me take a look at this here. So, zero hedge again. Pretariff surge in aircraft order sends US durable good orders to record highs in March.
That's big.
The Trump trade war results in a record $12,000,000,000
(01:24:24):
surge in customs revenues.
So when people tell you and the news media tells you that tariffs aren't gonna work,
that we're not gonna be able to,
to to really make anything through tariffs, and they're just punitive, and they're they're just gonna, you know, you know, cause higher prices. And
$12,000,000,000
(01:24:45):
surge since the president
instituted these tariffs
in customs revenues.
And
when I said a few minutes ago that,
there might be some
other reasons
behind
(01:25:07):
the,
the move that China has made,
this is what I was talking about.
China factory
activity let me let me share this.
China factory activity tumbles to sixteenth month low as exports crater on Trump tariffs.
China's manufacturing activity in April saw its worst contraction since December 2023, exposing sharp signs of weakness in Asia's biggest economy from the trade war with The US and boosting calls for fresh Chinese stimulus,
(01:25:38):
which is always just around the corner but never arrives.
In the aftermath of significantly higher US tariffs,
China's official NBS manufacturing PMI fell to 49
in April
from 50.5
in March,
much lower than consensus
ex expectations,
the lowest reading since May 2023. Non manufacturing
(01:26:00):
PMI, which includes
services and construction, fell to 50.4 from 50.8, also missed expectations driven by weakness in both construction and services sectors, but remained above the 50 the 50 mark separating
growth from contraction.
So
if you like reading graphs, you can check it all out right here. This is on zero hedge.
(01:26:30):
And just another indicator. I mean, folks, that's big. That's huge. You know? And right now, there's turmoil going on over in China. I saw I saw a a piece right before the show. I didn't have time to pull it up, you know, before we got started. I just happened to catch it
that,
that the people in China you know, the workers in China are starting to,
(01:26:50):
strike because they're not getting paid.
They're not getting paid because
they're not making any money.
So this is big.
And so far and look, it's too early to really, you know,
claim victory or or anything like that, but,
(01:27:12):
you know, the media is trying to tell you that the economy is terrible. The economy is stalling. The economy is falling. The economy is is bad. It's it's
it's not.
$12,000,000,000
since
April, what, April 5
when he announced the tariffs.
(01:27:33):
And then this, US shocks Wall Street adds a 77,000
jobs
in April as wages rise. US jobs report past expectations for the second month in a row
in April with 177,000
jobs being added to the economy soaring past analyst expectations.
Wages also also rose, and the labor force participation rate has increased has increased.
(01:27:59):
Analysts were forecasting job growth in The US economy of around a 33,000,
but that was surpassed by over 40,000 jobs with a 77,000
jobs being create being added in April,
the Wall Street Journal reported. This is the second month in a row.
Federal employment numbers by,
(01:28:23):
9,000 or down by 26,000 since January, likely in connection to the cuts that Trump administration has been implementing with the staff department of government efficiency.
Tariffs on China, however, were increased with the exception of some of some carve outs. A widespread 10% tariff still went into effect on most goods entering The United States.
Job reports come the jobs report comes after there's been concerns about the impact of the tariff war would have on the markets as well as employment numbers. After the report dropped on Friday, there was a slight uptick in the stock market.
(01:28:50):
Alright. So that's that's all great news. The economy is doing well.
You know?
And and it's gonna continue to do well. It's gonna continue to grow and do better.
Prices are gonna continue to come down. Like, I paid gas I bought gas the other day, and it was it was,
what was it? It was like $2.30
or something like that a gallon, which is fantastic.
(01:29:14):
Because just a just a few months ago, it I was paying almost $3.
Like, $2.89, something like that.
So that's great.
Egg prices are down. Yay. Egg prices are down.
Go buy eggs tomorrow.
You know?
So, anyway,
that's what I got for you tonight. I still had a few more things I wanted to mention to you, but they can wait,
(01:29:39):
I think anyway.
So with that said, my friends, I just wanted to, say just have a great weekend.
Enjoy it. Spend time with your family.

Put your faith in Jesus Christ.

call upon the lord Jesus Christ tonight and get saved.
Just put your full faith, trust, and confidence
in the shed blood of the lord Jesus Christ and the finished work on the cross of Calvary,
and you will be saved.
