Speaker 1 (00:02):
Let's talk about the op that's being run right now.
There's propaganda going on and it's saying that who We
will discuss that tonight, the big beautiful bill, electric vehicle mandates,
all that more coming up on our run.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
I'm Senator Alexia. I have a questions for the Secretary
because the fact of the matter is half a dozens
on criminals that you're getting on your on your all.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Right, we need to discuss what's happening out there right now,
propaganda wise, with illegal immigration and deportations and the riots
and the Democrat Party because there's an op. There's an
operation going on right now, and it's hard to see
it sometimes unless you understand a few things about the
game being played. So let's get some basics out of

(01:09):
the way first that we all have to understand, because
we have to get to step one before we can
get step two. Right, crawl before you walk, that kind
of a thing. So there are a couple of things
we must get, absolutely must get. First. We are going
to talk about the base of the Democrat Party, the
beating heart of the Democrat Party. Political parties in whatever

(01:31):
country they have, in whatever country they reside, they have
constituencies that are going to be their beating heart. People
you have to speak to, people, you have to serve
because those are your voters, those are your workers. They're
the ones who are going to go knock on doors
for you, they're going to give money to you. And

(01:53):
the Republican Party, that would be evangelicals. The evangelical vote.
Any Republican, whether you worship Satan himself or not, every
Republican understands you better show up in some churches when
you're campaigning. Whether it's Congress, Senate, Trump did it, you
got to go check the evangelical box and make sure

(02:15):
they know they're being served. Right, So, what's the main
constituency of the Democrat Party? Seems like from the outside
looking in, there's all kinds of different groups that are
totally separate and unrelated. And of course there are you
have the LGBTQ demons and the fake civil rights stuff
and the femini. The real beating heart of the Democrat Party,

(02:38):
and it's critical you understand this is miserable single women
who are mentally ill. I'm not actually not actually making
fun of them. Just stay with me here. Have you
ever seen one of those polls they've been doing this
a lot lately, especially over the last couple of years,
showing how men, women, married, single, how they vote in
the country all the time, and every poll turns out

(03:03):
the same way. It's it's wild to look at the poll,
the outlier in the poll. So here's how it works.
Married men vote Republican roughly fifty one, fifty, married women
vote Republican fifty one, fifty two. Single men vote Republican.
Same thing, fifty But then, how do Democrats ever come

(03:27):
close to winning an election with numbers like that. They
don't have married men, they don't have married women, that
don't have single men, single women. They are the outlier
in the poll, and it's stunning, like seventy percent Democrat.
But wait, there's actually more to that. We also know
from all the numbers they've done, all the polling they've done,

(03:50):
that the majority, the large majority, it's like sixty percent
something like that of those women have been diagnosed with
some sort of mental illness. So it's not just some
funny stereotype. I get to have a good time with
here on I'm right every single night. The beating heart,
the frontline warrior, tip of the spear, the volunteer the donor,

(04:14):
the everything are miserable, mentally ill women. If you are
an elected Democrat at any level in this country, at
any level, whether it's mayor governor state legislature, the city council, president,
you understand those are your people, and you better speak

(04:34):
to them, and you better activate them, and you better
motivate them. So that's part of step one, the other
part of step one before we get to step two.
Here in a moment, it's this, because we have some
things I want to show you. Opposition to Donald Trump
is how you get elected as a Democrat in the country. Communists,

(04:56):
as we've discussed many times before, are excellent at creating symbols.
They'll hold up a symbol. Sometimes it's a symbol that
they want people to worship. Hey, George Floyd, George Floyd,
worship him to the next funeral, don't you love George Floyd.
And then sometimes when they find the right boogeyman they
think will freak people out, this would be Donald Trump,

(05:17):
they will hold up a symbol for their people to
throw tomatoes at and get angry at. This is the
bad guy, This is the bad guy, This is the Antichrist.
Whatever you're angry about whatever is happening in the world,
bad bad, bad, bad bad. And once you do that,
once you drill that in the head of all those
mentally ill single women, then what's the next step for
you as a politician. You tell them all, I'm the

(05:41):
one who will stop him. They all run on it. Now,
I'm gonna stop Trump. I'm gonna get Trump. I'll stop him,
I'll arrest him, I'll get him, I'll oppose him. But
that's how you get elected. Once you've brainwashed your mentally
ill single women, you then tell them you will swoop
in and come to the rescue. That brings me to
the riots. What's happening out there because there's an op

(06:02):
being run, and what happens is normal people like you.
You don't understand what they're even going for. You don't
understand why they're using rhetoric like this.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
A week ago, everything was peaceful in the city of
Los Angeles, and in all of the representatives behind me
in their cities as well. Things began to be difficult
on Friday when raids took place. And it's important that
I begin there because that is the cause of the

(06:35):
problems that have happened in the city. Of Los Angeles
and other cities. This was a provocation. This was provoked
by the White House. The reason why we don't know
he started this.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
That should be no violence. He should not continue to
support violence.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
They should not be an edged.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
And provoked in anyway.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
And that's what the President of the United States is doing.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
So there are a lot of polls that are all
over the place.

Speaker 6 (07:07):
I would argue that this is not an immigration policy
that we're seeing unfold. This is domestic terrorism.

Speaker 7 (07:13):
Look, I remember a few stand ups ago when I
talked about what terrorism looks like.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
This is it.

Speaker 7 (07:20):
There should be no question to what our country will
look like, how the Confederacy won. The administration has no
interest whatsoever in targeting criminals. What they want is.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
To fulfill Stephen Miller's white nationalist fantasy.

Speaker 8 (07:33):
Trump is a wanna be gangster and he's showing the
world what he's about.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I'm proud.

Speaker 8 (07:41):
You know, my dad said in Second World War, he
fought the Nazis in Northern Africa, he fought the Nazis
on the Italian peninsula. And I think he's looking down
right now when he's happy that I'm fighting today's Nazis.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
You roll your eyes when you hear that stuff white nationalists.
My dad fought the Nazis. You roll your eyes and
you scoff, and you think you are these ridiculous people.
Nobody believes this stuff, that these are obvious lies. No no, no, no, no,
no no. That's where you're wrong. They're obvious lies to you.
Normal human being, single mentally ill woman who just popped

(08:21):
her tenth anti anxiety medication of the day. She hears
these things and she believes them. She hears these things
and she's motivated, she's activated. Who's Eva Longoria talking to
when she speaks like this?

Speaker 9 (08:33):
Hi? Everyone. I wanted to get on here and finally
compose myself to do a message because of everything that's
happening with the mass deportations. Every time I try to
record a message, I just start crying, and then I
don't want it to be about me and my emotions
about it. But it's just so inhumane, hard to watch,
it's hard, it's hard to witness from AFAR. I can't

(08:56):
imagine what it's like to be in Los Angeles right now.
I can't believe it's happening in Austin, Texas. I can't
believe it's happening all over the country. The commons and
people's reactions to it is really so surprising to me
because it is un American.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
You roll your eyes. Oh gosh, anothery're crazy Hollywood starlet, single,
mentally ill woman. She hears that, and she's filled with rage.
And so what they do because they know who they're
speaking to. Again, they're not trying to talk to you.
They know they can't get to you. They understand that
if they repeat the exact same message over and over

(09:35):
and over and over again, your liberal aunt Peggy will
believe it. She'll believe it all the way down to
her bones. It will activate her, it will motivate her.
She'll march in the streets. She'll be out there voting
in the midterms. Why would you so obviously pay a
legion of TikTok influencers to spread the exact same message.

Speaker 10 (09:56):
Being in a country that you're in illegally is a civil.

Speaker 6 (09:59):
Of not a criminal one.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
You know what else?

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Is a civil offense?

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Jaywalking and being undocumented is not a criminal offense. It's
a civil one. And if you've ever jaywalked, congratulations, because
you've also committed a civil offense.

Speaker 7 (10:13):
Have you ever sped over the speed limit?

Speaker 11 (10:16):
Have you ever drank or smoked underage?

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Have you ever drank and then driven a car? What
about jaywalking?

Speaker 12 (10:22):
Being undocumented in America is a civil offense, it's not
a criminal one. It's the same caliber of crime as
a traffic offense.

Speaker 11 (10:32):
If you are okay with the things going on in
the United States right now, please unfollow me and never
speak to me again.

Speaker 12 (10:38):
If you're white and see an ICE rate happening and
you don't get involved, I think you're and I don't
respect you at all.

Speaker 10 (10:44):
If you voted for Donald Trump and the last election,
you are a bad person. If you continue to endorse
Trump and his policies since the election, you are a
bad person. If you do not think what ICE is
doing in California right now is problematic, you are a
bad person.

Speaker 11 (11:00):
Second, you don't speak out against atrocities all for the
sake of I just don't want to get involved.

Speaker 9 (11:07):
You aren't kind.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
You're actively being harmful, and you're a howard. Who are
they speaking to? It's not you. You rolled your eyes
ten times watching that scoffed. Who are these crazies? Why
would they all be paid? Obviously they're all paid. This
is an operation. They're being paid to repeat the same thing,

(11:32):
but not for you liberal ant Peggy Summer, grab my zenax.
That's who it's for. That's what's happening. That's what you're
seeing right now. That's why they run these ops, the
beating heart of the Democrat Party as the mentally ill
single woman, and that's why they talk the way they
talk all the time. All that may have made you uncomfortable,

(11:55):
but I am right. We're going to talk to the
amazing Sean Spicer in just the moment. Before we talk
to Sean, I have to talk to you a little
confession here. You are aware, I'm sure that the Kelly family,
the Kelly men don't live very long. It's just the
way it goes. Lost my dad just a little while

(12:18):
ago at sixty nine, and he beat the odds. Most
of them don't make it that long. So I have
had to make some adjustments. But you see, I have
this problem. I love chips. I just love chips, and
I mean I'm a chip freak. Chips and dips, chips
without dips, I'm a chip man. How do I merge

(12:38):
those two worlds. I had a friend of mine actually
Mike Cernovich. As a matter of fact, tell me about
Massa Chips. I'd heard about them before, Massive Chips, mass
and Chips, and I didn't want them because I heard
they were healthy. They have three ingredients and it's just
the chips and the beef tallow and the salt. I
mean it's the corn beef tallos. So it's got to
be garbage, right. Yeah, they sent me a couple bags.

(13:02):
Not only do I love them, my youngest son, who
eats worse than I do, he steals them as soon
as they show up to the house. They're freaking amazing
and they're good for you. You want twenty five percent
off Massa Chips dot com, slash Jesse TV, We'll be back.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
So there were peaceful protests on Saturday for the military parade.

Speaker 11 (13:34):
President Trump would allow that.

Speaker 10 (13:35):
Of course, the President supports peaceful protest.

Speaker 12 (13:37):
What a stupid question.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
I love, I love the changes. I love treating the
press like crap because that's what they are. Joining me now,
host of the Wonderful Sean Spicer's show shown speizer Sean
Caroline's pretty sharp. What do you make of the job
she's doing as someone who's done it?

Speaker 6 (13:57):
Oh, she's doing phenomenal. I had a conversation with the
President just a little while ago and said the same thing.
I was like, Wow, I'm somewhat jealous. How well you
guys are doing. She's doing a fantastic job. She's got
a lot of poise command of the podium there. And
I'll tell you, I looked at that and I said
to myself, could I have pulled that off? What a

(14:17):
stupid question? It's like, you remember that baseball player that
said that's a clown question? Bro, Like, it's like, Wow,
I didn't know you could say that. I know we're
all thinking it, but I didn't know you could just
say what a stupid question that is?

Speaker 1 (14:36):
I forget, Sean, I hate to sidetrack of what we're
talking politics. It's gonna drive me nuts. Which player was that?
Who was that that said it? Because I can even
I can even picture it. I can hear it. I
can hear him say it, and I can't remember was
it John Rocker?

Speaker 6 (14:49):
He's a picture.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Oh it could be John Rocker. Yeah, that would be
John Rocker. John Rocker would say something like that. There's
no question about it. Actually, you know what, Matt producer
Mat we need to get John Rocker on the show.
All right, let's get focused here. Speaking of celebrities, there's
a lot of narrative being pushed out there with celebrities
repeating the exact same talking points over and over and

(15:15):
over again about all the riots and illegal immigration. So
setting the celebrity aspect of it, aside as Bryce Harper,
by the way, Bryce Harper, of course, Bryce Harper, how
much money is being thrown around on these propaganda efforts
and who's throwing it around?

Speaker 6 (15:33):
I'm so glad you asked that question. First of all,
there's a propaganda effort where everyone loves to use the
word peaceful. I send to Brian. Brian Stelter from CNN
tweeted it out the other day. If you don't live
in a very specific area of LA, you're having a
very normal day. And I wrote back, well done, comrade,
please include peaceful protest going forward in your talking points.
And I thought to myself, because that's what's going on,

(15:54):
It's like it's like reflexive, We've got to say the
word peaceful. But to your point about money, I played
this clip on my show the other night. There is
a reporter named Alex Michaelson. He works for a Fox
affiliate out there in LA and he showed pictures of
these face masks that you rioters wear, and I went
on Google and Amazon and I started going around trying

(16:17):
to figure out and they're about thirty five forty bucks a pop.
And this guy has a truck full of them handing
them out. That's serious bucks. I mean, I like a
lot of people, but I don't buy them face masks
at forty bucks a pop and hand them out. So
somebody's got to be funding this. If I had to guess,
I'd say there's some kind of Soros connection to all
of this. But the bottom line is that there is

(16:39):
clearly some funding, some coordination behind all of it. That
of course no one's asking Jesse. People like me and
you ask about this, But at the bottom that you
would think if you knew, if you are a what
people refer to now as reporters, if you were one
of those people, you would say, gosh, could someone tell
me who's paying for this? Or where'd you get them?
But they don't. They actually don't want to know. There's

(17:00):
no degree of curiosity because I think that they're afraid
of the answer.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Why are they afraid of the answer, Sean, I thought,
what is it they say? All the time? I'm trying
to think of it? Speak truth to power? Yeah, speaks
something that should be afraid of the answer.

Speaker 6 (17:18):
Speak something that the phrases a little longer in their world,
and speak some of the truth to some of the power.
Because if Donald Trump is doing it.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
And again, I.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
Played this narrative the other night on our on our
show that when you look at the TikTok of how
this went down, despite what they talk about, it was
a Democrat assemblyman who stood outside the ice facility that
happens to be next to the home depot out there
in the Paramount section of California and started live streaming
this and telling people something's got to be happening because

(17:48):
he quote felt it. He felt it, and so he
live streamed it and asked people to come down to
support him and whatever. And then when these ice agents
left the fenced in area which their vehicles came in,
they started pelting with rocks and let three cars on fire.
So let's just keep in mind how this started. This
wasn't Donald Trump. There was no raid, there was no action.

(18:09):
This was literally federal employees going to work and a
Democrat assemblement live streaming in this so in encouraging a
crowd to gather. But the idea that somehow this is
Donald Trump and Donald Trump escalating it. And the last
point that I'll make Jesse, as a former marine, you'll
get this. Donald Trump doesn't just have a responsibility. I
dare say he has an obligation to protect federal agents

(18:30):
and federal assets, whether it's the cars and the trucks
and the other things that they have, as well as
their facility. He has an obligation to protect them. And
he's doing his job. And when they sent these National
guardsmen and the Marines out there, they were to protect
federal assets. He has an obligation to do that.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Gavin Newsom is, look, it's so obvious, it's you might
as well hold up a sign that's saying it. Gavin
Newsom leaves, these riots are presenting him with an opportunity
to become the Democrat nominee in twenty twenty eight. Here's
Kevin news.

Speaker 7 (19:06):
Donald Trump's government isn't protecting our communities. They're traumatizing our communities.
And that seems to be the.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Entire point California will keep fighting.

Speaker 7 (19:16):
We'll keep fighting on behalf of our people, all of
our people, including in the courts. Trump and as loyalists,
they thrive on division because it allows them to take
more power and exert even more control. And by the way, Trump,
he's not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as
it serves him. What more evidence do we need than

(19:37):
January seventh?

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Why watching him try to what read that needle?

Speaker 6 (19:42):
Sean, who's our people? Because it seems to me that
people waving a Mexican flag, throwing rocks at federal agents
and federal installations and property saying f Ice are not
my people. Those are not I mean, I have a
lot of neighbors. In fact, the house behind me you

(20:02):
can probably even see how close it is. My neighbors
and I don't throw rocks at each other, So I
don't call when he says our people, our neighbors people
that aren't documented. Those are all weasel words because they
don't want to say that those are people who broke
the law. But if you really are chanting that, you
are objecting to Ice deporting you, right, I mean, just
think of the logic of this, Jesse, real quick, you're

(20:24):
out protesting because you don't like what Ice is doing.
That would mean say to me that your goal is
to stay in America. Right, You're protesting, not wanting to
be deported. So why would you fly the flag of
another country if you wanted to stay in the United States.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
It's a very good question. John Shohn Speiser, host of
The Shawn Speicers. So come back soon, my friend. You
bet all right. Miranda Devine and her Australian accent, they're
going to join us in a moment. Before those two
things get to us, I have to talk to you
about Pure talk, and I have to tell you something
pure Talk's doing right now. On top of provider cell service,

(21:01):
the same cell service you get now at half the
price I'm paying, half of what I was paying a
T mobile, pure talk is handing out Allegiance flags. You
know what those are. They're American made flags, American made
American flags. They're trying to hand out a thousand of
them to veterans before Independence Day. Do you have a

(21:24):
veteran someone you would like to nominate? Maybe you are
that veteran. Pure talk dot com slash nominate is where
you can go do that and While you're there, go
to puretalk dot com slash jessetb and switch your cell
phone service. They make it easy. I love pure Talk.
All right, we'll be back. You know who Miranda Divine is.

(22:08):
We talked to her as often as we possibly can
right here on. I'm right, she's one of my favorites,
fantastic columnists for quite some time. She started a podcast,
and I don't know, I don't even know. Half of
me is mad at her. She got Donald Trump is
her first episode, Donald Trump to interview Donald Trump for
her first episode? How does that even happen? Joining me now? Host,

(22:29):
I'm gonna have to get used to introducing her this way.
Host of Podforce one, Miranda Divine, Miranda, please tell me
you didn't just shoot him a text or something? How
do you score that?

Speaker 11 (22:39):
Thanks so much, Jesse. Look, I can't really claim myself
to landing the big Fish. That was my editor in
chief Keith Poole from the New York Post to organize that.
In fact, I mean it's his idea to do the podcast,
and Podforce one was his. He made that up, which

(23:01):
I think is an absolutely inspired title. And you know
Donald Trump was keen to do it.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
So he did.

Speaker 11 (23:09):
It was very kind of him to do it. And
he's going to well, he's promised that he'll come on regularly.
We hope once a month, but whatever his schedule can manage.
And so hence the name podforst one is sort of
built around the main person, which is Donald Trump. And
then you know, we'll have We've got Scott Bessant is

(23:32):
going to be the next guest, the Treasury Secretary, and
j DD Vance, the Vice President, is also there, and
Monica Crowley of course, it's wonderful, Pam Bondi, Telsey Gabber,
Tom Homan, all of them have agreed. Howard Lutnik, all
of them have agreed to come on. So I think

(23:54):
it'll be a pretty pretty interesting kind of series coming up.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah. I think you're probably doing pretty well for yourself.
All right, let's focus on some things that you discussed
with mister President, as in China and the trade deal here.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
It was China is always very tough to deal with.
They're a little spoiled from having such great success against
our negotiators. Yes, but we have some things that are
going on. I get along great with President she always have,
and we'll see if we can make a deal with China,
but we're making deals with others. We just made a
big deal with the UK, as you know, and we
have others coming down the road. And if we don't

(24:30):
make deals, we just send them what the price to
do business in the United States is, which frankly is
the best way to do it.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
I like doing that better than making a deal. You know,
making a deal with the country is always very tough politically.
This telling the country what they have to pay is
very easy. You send a letter with two or three
paragraphs and you say this is what you have to
pay to do business in the United States, and they're
going to pay it.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Miranda, where is this China deal? Every day we hear
we have a deal. Looks like we have the framework
of a deal. We got a deal. Well, we don't
have a deal. We're going to have a recession. It's
a disaster. What do we have.

Speaker 11 (25:11):
Well, it was interesting that Donald Trump said about China
that he thinks that they got a little spoiled under
Joe Biden with the negotiators that they had there. And
he has sent his best in Scott Bessant and Howard
Lutnik and Jameson Greer, the trade en boy, and I think,
you know, I mean, basically best at in Lutnik, two

(25:34):
self made billionaires. They know how business works, and the
Chinese want to do business and their economy is not
doing very well. They're suffering from the tariffs, from an
export slowdown, their factories have slowed down. They need to
do a deal. And I think what happened just in
London on Monday and Tuesday with those three US negotiators

(25:57):
was not so much a deal, but the beginning, like
the end of truce. Basically things have gotten pretty willing
between China and America. China had put on these pretty
vicious bands on these magnets and some rare earths that
are crucial to America. I mean it's a wake up

(26:19):
call for US that practically every motor needs these magnets,
and you know that has implications for not just automobile
manufacture but also national security. So and then we hit back.
I mean, this was you know, a pretty pretty mean
arsenal of weapons that was dragged out by the Trump

(26:41):
administration against China. You know, it was everything from stopping
aircraft parts from getting to them. So now they've got
two hundred and fifty planes are grounded, and they were
getting grounded at the rate of two hundred and fifty
a week. And also, I mean Marco Rubio is they're saying,
we're not going to take Chinese students. And there was

(27:03):
we blocked a sort of a petrochemical called ethane, which
is a crucial component eventually to make plastic. And of
course you know that a lot of stuff that comes
out of China is plastic, so that hurt them too.
So all in all, I think both sides were inflicting
damage on the other side. And President Trump had a

(27:25):
call with President g last week and they agreed to
have these sort of hastily pulled together trade negotiations on
Monday and Tuesday on neutral territory, which was London, which
Keir Starmer put together for them because he's now, you know,
best friend's status, having pulled off the first trade deal
and probably the best trade deal for England, because Donald

(27:48):
Trump has this theory that the first deal you always
get the best outcome for yourself and you get a
little less good as you wait. So Kirstarma organized that
and I think I think really what they managed to
do we say, okay, give us the magnets. We'll take
off our pain points that we've put on you, our
retelliatory measures, and then they'll go back to square one,

(28:11):
which was I think what they sort of organized in Geneva,
which was that Donald Trump sort of took off a
few of the tariffs and they continue trading and you know,
make money together.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Miranda, do you get the sense that the goal of
this is to get a deal in to make money, Hey,
it works for you, works for me? Or is the
goal to reshore American manufacturing because those are not the
same goal.

Speaker 11 (28:44):
Yeah, I think it's sort of a three part goal.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
You know.

Speaker 11 (28:48):
Scott beson't is sort of the Trump whisperer when it
comes to the market, and he gave us speech a
little while ago in New York and he mapped out
very clearly that loves tariffs for different reasons, and you
just outlined two of them. You know, making money bringing

(29:10):
back manufacturing to this country, making money from the tariffs heat,
which he thinks is a big money spinner. And also
just I mean engineering more trade for ourselves and by
sort of forcing companies to take to import countries to
import more American goods and not have these non tariff

(29:33):
barriers against say, our agriculture and so on, you know,
pretending that it's like GMO problems, so that they won't
take American bee for American grain.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
So all of that.

Speaker 11 (29:45):
Opening up markets, making money from the tariffs, and you know,
I think Donald Trump thinks that it's just a magic
cure all for all trade woes. But at the heart
of it, he is He's it's kind of a free trader.
I mean, he just wants people to make as much
money as possible, and he wants to screw the best

(30:09):
deal possible for America. And you know, he's the art
of the deal guy, and I think that's good for America.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Another thing you and him talked about was something that
hopefully is not on everyone's minds in the coming weeks,
Iran when we hear that military dependents are leaving Iran,
when we hear warnings to the embassy, well here you
two work here was.

Speaker 11 (30:31):
Do you think you're going to be able to stop
Iran from enriching its n I don't know.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
I did think so, and I'm getting more and more
less confident about it. They seem to be delaying, and
I think that's a shame. But they I'm less confident
now than I would have been a couple of months ago.
Maybe they don't want to make a deal. What can
I say? And maybe they do, so is that nothing vital?

(30:58):
What happens then, Well, if they don't make a deal,
they're not going to have a nuclear weapon, right. If
they do make a deal, they're not going to have
a nuclear weapon too, you know. But they're not going
to have a nuclear weapon. So it's not going to
matter from that standpoint. But it would be nicer to
do it without warfare, without people dying.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Miranda. I understand, he's the president and he can't and
shouldn't lay out all of his plans in front of
all of us, not even on pod Force one, but
you get the sense that he's ready to go to war.

Speaker 11 (31:33):
I'm not sure it's goes to war, but it's I guess.
You know, Israel needs American assistance to bomb the smitherings
out of Iran's nuclear facilities, and you know, in the
form of I understand aircraft to carry these big bombs,

(31:53):
for instance. So in that sense, America would be involved.
But I mean, it's not like America hasn't been involved
in Ukraine behind the scenes training up people and giving weapons.
So I you know, it's just a matter of Donald Trump.
He wants to try and balance his desire for peace

(32:16):
and to stop the killing against also a strong deterrent.
And you know, nobody in the world except Iran wants
them to have nuclear weapons capability. And this is something
that the Biden administration just completely screwed up. And they

(32:38):
you know, when Donald Trump left, Iran was broke totally
on its knees, didn't have the money to fund its
proxies in Israel and around the world. October seven, for instance,
was funded behind the scenes by Iran and things were
as they should have been, and the Biden administration unleashed

(32:59):
a whole lot of money to them, and you know,
the oil flowed and now they're flushed with cash and dangerous.
So Donald Trump's got to go back to square one again.
And Scott Bessen has said that the aim of the
administration is to make Iran broke again, which is obviously
annoying the Mullers. But Donald Trump is you know, he

(33:21):
wants peace and he tries to play nicely with these guys.
But as he showed it in his first term when
he knocked off Solomoni, tackled Isis, and so on. There
is you know, he is willing to do the hard,
tough things. And America does have the number one military
in the world, and it's perfectly capable of inflicting real

(33:44):
damage to other countries. And that is the deterrent. And
as he says, Iran cannot be allowed to have a
nuclear weapon, and Israel doesn't want that, but neither does
Saudi Arabia, neither does Qatar, Syria, Jordan, none of the
other countries in the Middle East want that either. And
Donald Trump just went and had that big trip to

(34:06):
the Middle East. And you can bet that the back talk,
that behind the scenes talk was the same. We don't
want around to have nuclear capability.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
So it's not as if he's.

Speaker 11 (34:19):
Going out on his own. He's trying to give around
as much room to move as possible. He said to them,
you know, I want to have a good relationship with you.
I want you to prosper. We will trade with you,
we will help you prosper. But you know, if the
Mullers are just hell bent on getting a nuclear bomb,
I mean it's not safe for any of us. We

(34:41):
do not want around to have nuclear capabilities.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Miranda pod Forest one. Everybody should go downloaded. Appreciate you
very much. Come back. So Trump signed a bill today,
an important one. We'll talk about that in a moment.
I first want to talk to you about how great
I slept last night. Did you sleep good? I had
a cup of hot chocolate before bed. I love hot chocolate.

(35:08):
My hot chocolate with dream powder in it from Beam.
It's cinnamon chocolate. It's even better. You would never know
there are things in it like ray she and stuff,
all these natural things that puts you to sleep. You'd
never know unless I told you. Of course, you'd probably
figure it out when you drifted off to sleep about
a half hour after you drank it and slept like
a little bitty baby and woke up feeling good, not groggy.

(35:32):
That's the difference. Go get a bag of dream powder.
You will love it. You'll always have one. I'll always
have one. Shopbeam dot com, Slash Jesse Kelly. We'll be back.

Speaker 13 (35:53):
I want to thank everybody for being here. We officially
rescue the US auto industry from destruction by terminating the
California electric vehicle mandate once and for all.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
That sounds good. What's the story behind this. California is
an insane place, is that anyway? Let's ask Mark? I
don't know. Joining me now, Mark Morano, Executive editor of
climb at depot dot com. What is this California electric
vehicle mandate that Trump's doing away with?

Speaker 7 (36:30):
Mark?

Speaker 1 (36:30):
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (36:32):
This is huge, There's no other way to put it.
This is the biggest blow against the forces of the
great reset that Donald Trump may have done since he's
been elected. This is huge. And why this is huge
is for decades, with an exemption under the Clean Air Act,
California has been able to set their own environmental policy.

(36:54):
We have been held hostage the United States of America
by whatever California wanted to do, because if they just
that they wanted low emissions cars, they wanted to ban
gas powered cars automakers because about eleven demo other states
follow what California does. About forty percent of America was
now under these dictates of California, which then forced automakers

(37:15):
and other industries to cowtow to whatever California's strictest standards
would be. And there were literally wacko standards.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
I mean, we now have.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
We now had California and knack this car ban by
an executive order from Gavin Newsom, and then it went
over to unelected bureaucrats at the California Air Resources Board,
and then eleven states followed just because they were trigger
laws set in by democratic governors. And then the Biden
epa of unelected bureaucrats started implementing this. And by the way,

(37:45):
all the automakers generally all of them supported this thought
it was a great idea. Why because they cashed in
on tens of millions of dollars in subsidies and all
the perks that they got. Stallantis would get money from
the taxpayers and open up a plant for a few
months and then close it but keep the tax payer money.
It was all one of the biggest scams going and

(38:06):
by the way, the public zero interest. I think it
is less than two percent of cars of all electric
vehicles around the road seven percent of sales. A lot
of those are people that have even two electric vehicles.
In other words, they were forcing this down our throat
based on an obscure provision and regulatory scheme from the
Clean Air Act. And Donald Trump not only did Donald

(38:27):
Trump do this, but this is a rare case Jesse,
because the Republican Congress actually legislated this. This isn't the
case of oh darn, another executive order that can be
overturned in the first two weeks of Gavin Newsom's presidential term.
Theoretically in the future. This is actually law now because
the Republican Congress did what it rarely does and followed

(38:48):
through and actually made something happen. So we've now eliminated
in the United States. Now it's going to go to court,
court cases and everything, but the idea of a gas
powered car ban by twenty three five, by twenty forty,
and by the way, around the world, the same thing happened,
just like a COVID mandate. All of these restrictions happened
without votes of democracy. They were decided on by unelected bureaucrats,

(39:10):
by executive orders, by corporate government collusion. So this is
a big day in America. And there's not a lot.
You can't say too much hyperbolic about this because the
hyperball is true.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Yeah, I Republicans did something in Congress. They did in
this world. Mark I don't even know. I don't even
know how to respond to that. That's never happened before.

Speaker 5 (39:32):
Okay, they lit out of the domain of East Germany
and Cuba, which were previously known as the only countries
to restrict our freedom of movement. You know, Cuba had
the nineteen fifties America's cars and East Germany had the
crappy East German Trabant, which essentially had to be on
a waiting list for decades to get. It was the
only government approved car you could buy in East Germany.

(39:53):
And guess what in Gavin Newsom's America under this mandate
which the GOP Congress and Trump just overturned, the government
was basically saying you could only buy one government approved
car in all electric vehicle. And by the way, corporate
banks were saying at one point a couple of years
ago that they weren't going to give out loans to
people buying gas powered cars. The World Bank was going

(40:13):
to stop financing automakers if they were going to continue
to make gas powered cars. And you have cities in
Colorado and California announcing the banning of new gas stations
to create gas shortages. If you should have it, the
fix was in. They wanted to get rid of private
car ownership. CNN was promoting carbon passports. We are living
in a different era right now. This is a phenomenal

(40:34):
time and we're only six months in. I hope he
keeps this momentum going, particularly on the climate energy environment front.
It has just been phenomenal. I will say one other thing.
Lee Zelden, who I was not that excited about as
an original pick because I just didn't know much about him,
deserves every award possible. He's the greatest administrator in the
EPA's entire history. This is a man of courage. Both

(40:56):
he and Trump have flipped the entire climate narrative. They
openly talk now from the highest levels of government about
the climate scam, climate climate religion. That is probably even
more important than the legislation because we've changed and shifted
the cultural the culture, and now Americans companies, corporations that
we can now speak freely of how we've been scammed

(41:19):
low these many decades with all these climate claims.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Mark, Is that why political is printing articles about how
they've lost the climate culture war? Is it just do
they feel like they're on their heels, Because it feels
to me like they're on their heels. But I don't
want to be trapped in the Trump bubble.

Speaker 13 (41:37):
Right.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
We're enjoying the Trump presidency, but it feels like it
feels like they're froming very.

Speaker 5 (41:45):
Critical of a lot of the stuff. His whole deal
with palanteers, surveillance and the idea of you know, this
is going to go right in with the Great Reset
and all this data collection and the idea of imposing
you and Agenda twenty one. So there's a lot of
problems with Trump and A and the big tech conglomeration.
I'm not the one who believes there's the good tech
billionaires and the bad tech billionaires. To me, they're all bad,

(42:07):
including a guy named em initials. I won't say the name,
but anyway, that's just to say I'm not a Trump
sickophant when I say this, but Politico is acknowledging reality.
Here in Europe, they had to halt the Green New Deal.
They had farmers protesting the climate net zero by throwing
manure at the headquarters of Brussels and EU. And I've

(42:28):
been to the Brussels EU headquarters. It's a perfect place
to spew manure all over the place. The UN Climate
Summit process is collapsing under its own weight, the last
one I attended in agerbernand falling apart. You have Argentina
going the way of anti net zero, you have all
these European countries. You have Canada getting rid of their
zeroing down their carbon tax, facing reality. And then you

(42:50):
have Donald Trump, whether it's Eves, whether it's all the
power plants, whether it's unleashing American energy and getting rid
of at least what sixty percent of the subsidy that
were passed an inflation Reduction Act.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Wish it were more.

Speaker 5 (43:02):
It may not be possible because a lot of the
projects started, It becomes a legal battle, it becomes banks
and financings already began. But Politico is recognizing this. This
is a mainstream corporate organization. Politico. They're saying we lost
the culture war on climate. They quote an Obama aid
saying the left strategy on climate needs to be rethought.

(43:23):
This was an easy strategy ten twenty years ago, even
pre COVID, because all they had to do was say
solar and wind are cheaper, and it's going to power
the world, and we're gonna have all this jobs and entrepreneurship,
and everything's going to be just unicorns and just a miracle,
and then reality hit. We started implementing them, Europe started,
Canada started, the United States, and we realized this was

(43:43):
the intentional rationing of energy, our freedom of movement, and
our food abundant food supply. And once the public realized that, boom,
they lost it. They lost the public. And now Politico
is admitting that there's no more. They can't come back
now and try to scare us with more climate tipping point.
They can't come back now and talk about the dangers
of methane and cows when even their own studies show

(44:05):
that the lab grown meat pushed by Jeff Bezos and
Bill Gates is twenty five times or more more harmful
to the environment. So every bit of their jig has
been exposed at this point, and Politico is just reporting
on reality.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Now.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
That's beautiful, Mark, thank you, my brother. I appreciate you.
All Right, some rioter in La got absolutely bodied and
it's hilarious. Light in the mood. Next, all right, it's

(44:43):
time to lighten the mood. And as you know, I
just I so enjoy when COMI streets come get what's
coming to them, and I love it when bystanders get
in on it. It's just there's something poetic about the
public cracking down on these scumbags like this. Somebody used

(45:34):
to play football, see them all
