Speaker 1 (00:10):
Okay, Before we have a heavy, heavy talk about the
constitution and the country and the courts and deportation and
all that terrible stuff, which we'll get to in just
a moment. I want to get to this, which is
more terrible. Obviously, honoring the fallen. We lost a couple
of Marines in training last week, well, not training. They
(00:32):
were on the southern border. Okay, so they're down there
for a reason. It was a non combat thing. It happens.
Vehicles crashed. This was a vehicle accident. It's as common
as anything.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It happens. And in ancient times, men died falling off
their horses.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Okay, sucks, but it happened, and they died serving their country.
Lance Corporal Albert Aguilera, who's twenty two years old, and
Lance Corporal Marcelino Gamino, he was twenty eight years old. Simplify,
young brothers. They gave their lives for this country. Honor
their sacrifice as we do here on the first All right.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Okay, Now.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Let's talk about the courts, the Trump administration, you and me.
Let's talk about the United States of America, and this
is going to come back to the Supreme Court. Just
let's give away the end of it here, in case
you weren't paying attention.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Most everybody was.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Over the weekend, the Supreme Court decided that the Trump
administration cannot use the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety
eight to deport members of Trend de Arragua, a prison gang.
Now I should be perfectly clear about this. It was
(01:51):
a temporary thing. The Supreme Court says, hey, you're not
allowed to deport them anymore. We have to wait on
this cord and that cord. We'll wait on a couple things,
but at least for now, you're not gonna do it.
We have to slow down and make sure we're doing
this the right way. So that is actually what I
wanted to talk to you about.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And I am.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Perfectly aware that what I'm about to say is going
to chafe on many many people. You may get angry,
you may turn off the television, you may send me
hate mail, and all that stuff is fine. It doesn't
change anything about what I'm going to say. So here's
what it is. First, I want you to picture this.
I want you to picture that you you are playing monopoly.
(02:36):
I'm a monopoly against somebody you don't like at all.
Picture the person who's the person you hate the most,
just you and them. You're playing a game of monopoly, okay,
and a monopoly as you are well aware, even if
you've never played it yourself. There are rules, of course.
There's dice you have to roll to die. There are
(02:59):
different cars you want to try to land on this property.
There are little little cards at random that you get.
Hey you get five hundred dollars. Hey you owe five
hundred dollars. This random things like that. I I am
going to administer the rules of the game.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
There are rules of the game.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I'm going to oversee the game and administer the rules
of the game.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Now, let's say.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
The person you're playing against designs don't have any need
for these rules, no need for these rules at all.
So when it's time for them to cast to die,
instead of using the games die, they simp. They grab
the loaded die that they brought along that rules whatever
number they want. Now, this would be the point where
you would think I, the administrator, administrator of the rules,
(03:45):
would step.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
In and say no, no, no, no no, But I let
them go. No, no, no, use your own guy. It's all
it's all good. There.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
When they get a chance card or something they don't like, Oh,
pay ten percent in taxes.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Don't like that.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
They just put it back and keep fishing till they
get a card they want me. I'm sitting there overseeing
the whole thing. No, no, no, no, no, no, it's fine.
Do whatever you want. That's what I do when it's
their turn. But then when your turn comes along, you
have to use You're gonna use the dice.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I give you the dice of the game.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
No, no, no, don't think you're gonna switch out that
chance card.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Uh uh nope, nope, nope. You you do the game
the right way. You follow the rules.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I am the administrator, and you will follow the rules.
Let me ask you something, who's going to win that game?
It's inevitable. The game cannot be won by you. It's
not humanly possible, especially when the administrator is very clearly
in on allowing them to.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Do the most evil things in the world. And you
have to follow the rules.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Now, let's talk about the country, the courts, immigration, the constitution,
let's chat show.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
One. Let me go.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Ahead and get this out of the way right off
the bat. And I want to make sure I'm crystal
clear about this where we are as a country. It
saddens me a great deal what I'm about to talk about.
I don't celebrate. I'm not cheering it on. I'm like, yeah,
I think what I'm about to talk about, what I'm
(05:24):
about to say, is the most awful thing in the world.
Because I want the United States of America to stay together,
to be a good, wonderful country that exists for my
kids and their kids and their kids after them. That's
my desire. But here's where we are as a country.
The American left hates the United States of America. That sucks,
(05:47):
But that's where we're all. Half the country hates the country.
And because they hate the country when they are elected,
when they get power. You saw this for four years
under Joe Biden. At of hating the country means they
will ignore every law, they will ignore every rule. They
will simply set these things aside, and they will bring
(06:11):
in as many barbarians, as many foreigners as they can
possibly bring in. And the time they have, they won't
just open up the doors at the border. They will
fly them in as fast as they can. They will
take large chunks of your money, and they'll send planes
to other countries. And load those planes full of illegals
and fly them into your town. That is how committed
(06:34):
the communists are to destroying the United States of America.
And while Joe Biden did that, While Biden and the
maoists in his government did that, no court stop them.
They were never stopped. Nothing was treated as an emergency.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Nothing but that.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
There were no breaks on it at all, and there
were all kinds of violations.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Of the law and the rules and norms. There was nothing.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
They just yep, going, Nothing stopped them over up. Remember
one morning, do you remember the Haitians? Remember the Haitians?
One morning we woke up and there were fourteen thousand
freaking Haitians on the southern border, and we're looking around,
Oh wait what?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And then we.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Started to get a little suspicious because it was a
day or two and the administration. Do you remember the
administration kept trying to stop news coverage of it. Hey
don't show those people on camera. I believe it was
three days. Might be wrong about that, but I believe
it was three days.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
We woke up and they were gone in one night.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
The Biden administration waited until everyone was asleep and the
sun dipped down and the Biden administration took fourteen thousand
Haitians and brought every single one of them into your country.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Maybe they're going to school with your children right now.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Every rule, every norm, every law set aside, and the courts,
including the Supreme ones, sat back.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Ah, it's all right, Well, maybe we'll get to that. Well,
hold on just a moment.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
The rules of the game completely set aside, completely ignored.
The administrators of the rules couldn't be bothered to step in.
For four years, the mnemonic communists known as Democrats filled
up your country with as many foreigners as humanly possible.
Now we have four years, and I want to be
(08:27):
crystal clear about this. You cannot get them all out
in four years, no matter what you do. It's not
humanly possible that many people spread out over a country
this fast, or so mixed in as so many communities,
and ingrained here without any breaks, without any courts, without anything.
The Trump administration cannot possibly remove twenty million people with
(08:51):
the speed Joe Biden brought them in, that is, with
no courts, no obstructions at all, With no obstructions at all,
we cannot fix what Democrats have broken in the last
four years. That's with no obstructions. But instead, what we
have now is we are well north of one hundred
days into the Trump presidency. We are roughly one eighth
(09:12):
done with the Trump presidency, and court after court after
court after court after court, including the Supreme One, continues
to throw up roadblocks every.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Chance they get. Well blah, well not quite yet. Hold on,
you got to go through that. Hey, he deserves some
due process.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Well, hold on, that's got to go to the lower
court with an adjuncted babe of baby bee. So I
understand there are all kinds of legal arguments or well,
you have to do things the right way and due process,
and you know what, and I'm not actually going to
argue against you with any of those things. You can
bring up the hebeas corpus and all that odd, but that's.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Fine, but totally fine.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm not a legal scholar, do not pretend to be,
but I am most definitely somebody who can see reality.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And here is the reality.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
If the Communists are allowed to import as many foreign
barbarians into the country as they possibly can, and they
will with their four years of power, and we are
not allowed to deport them as quickly as they have imported.
Then the United States of America will end. The country
is simply going to come apart and break apart in
some way that's going to be terrible. We will break apart,
(10:17):
we will end most likely something got awful, like a
civil war, some kind of horrible thing. But it will end,
and it will end terribly. And that is a fact.
I don't care about any of your other arguments. What
about the Constitution, what about the I don't care what
your arguments are. If we are not allowed to deport
foreigners at the same pace they import foreigners, We're finished.
(10:38):
It's over, can't be won, can't be done. And so
my final message here as I wrap this up, is
actually not for you. It's for the Trump administration. And
I'm I'm assuming they know this, but maybe they don't.
So here's the reality of it. I don't want a dictator.
(11:00):
I want to be free. I want to live in
a constitutional republic as a free man where I get
a voice. Say I do not want a dictator. I
hope you don't either. We are going to get one.
If the Trump administration is not willing to go far enough,
ignore these courts, including the Supreme Court, and move forward
(11:22):
with the mass deportation of barbarians. If the Trump administration
is not allowed to implement the will of the voters,
and we still see poll after poll after poll, the
will of the voters remains with Trump and mass deportations.
If the will of the voters is not allowed by
the courts or this or that, then the right will
choose a dictator very shortly in your lifetime, including in mind.
(11:45):
If the Trump administration is given the mandate it was
given and for four years they are prevented from mass deportations,
the next Republican nominee will with somebody who promises to
throw journalists in prison. I'm not even close to getting
That is how serious this situation is right now, and
that is my fear, and I hope the Trump administration
(12:06):
knows this. Ignore the Supreme Court. Anyone who tries to
stop you, anyone, any entity, any human being, no matter
their title, throw them in prison. To all that may
have made you uncomfortable, But I am right. I love
feeling full of energy all the time. It's nice because look,
we all understand that as you start to get older,
(12:27):
start to run out of gas more right earlier in
the day, that's two in the afternoon if.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Someone fire up the coffee pot, you know, you.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Don't have to feel like that. You need to get
your levels where they need to be, and you need
to do it naturally with natural herbal supplements from Chalk.
Chalk has the highest quality natural herbal supplements I've ever
seen in my life.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
They are I'm.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Trying to decide if calling them hardcore anti communists is
under selling it. They're on our team. I'll put it
to you that way. Go try it. Try some description.
I take a male vitality stack every day. If you're wondering,
they have female vitality stacks too. They have so much
Go give it ninety days and tell me you don't
(13:10):
feel like a new person. Chalk dot com slash jessetv.
I want to talk about doctor Fauci and COVID in
the system and the lies.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
We're not going to let this go.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
We're not going to allow the destruction of American freedom, jobs, economy,
school children. We're not going to just let it go
and act well. So let's just let know. I'm not
going to let it go. I'm not There are things
that I'm never going to let go. I'm never going
to forget. I'm going to continue to bring this up
until I get some sort of.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Justice on this earth.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I want to bring up an interesting aspect of it
because there's a lot of things we could talk about
when it comes to COVID.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
But remember remember all the debate over the origins of COVID.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Right right away, you remember, right when it came out,
people wanted.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
To know, Hey, new virus. Where did it come from? Right?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Was it Africa? And then we found oh, oh, okay,
it was China. All right, I'm learning like you're learning.
We're all learning at once. Sometime watching TV. I'm reading stuff. Okay,
came from China, all right, we got that. And then
there were debates, well it looks like it looks like
it came from Wuhan City in China. Oh okay, Well
(14:34):
I don't know about Wuhan. I've never been there before.
All right, you say, so cool? Cool, And then didn't
take long for people to figure out, well, wait a minute,
there's actually a there's a lab in Wuhan, a lab
that works with viruses. That's interesting, Hey, is that is
(14:56):
that where it came from? And that question, more specifically,
the answer to that question was so revealing to me
early on about how ugly this whole thing was, because immediately, immediately,
every single part of the system, the freaking Central Intelligence Agency,
(15:18):
every part of the system, the media, the doctor's, everybody
insisted that that couldn't be it. We didn't know that,
nobody knew that yet. What do you mean, why are
you demanding that you don't know? It was from an
animal market or something. Okay, maybe even you sissy, you
know it didn't you know it didn't come from the
(15:40):
lab fault.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
She was all over TV saying this.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
We still open up and keep always an open mind
as to whether or not this had to do with
a virus that was isolated out in the environment and
that came into a lab and then had what most
people referred to as.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
A lab leak.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I believe that is less likely that that's the case,
but I.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Also believe we need to keep an open mind and
have all possibilities be investigated. But the evidence from the
virology community points strongly towards a natural occurrence.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, no, no, look, we need to look into it,
but it's definitely probably a natural occurrence.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Except we just got a report out from.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
The White House COVID report and says a lot of
things in it. The one thing we know now we
know while Fauci was on TV talking about having an
open mind, Fauci he worked to destroy anybody who said
it might.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Come from a lab.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
He worked to discredit anybody people part of that community.
We're talking accomplished people. Fauci worked really hard to discredit
and destroy them if they said it came from a lab,
the lab. That doesn't sound like keeping an open mind.
That sounds like an nefarious super villain working very hard
(17:05):
to cover something up.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
For some reason.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
In fact, almost sounds like somebody trying to cover up
a crime, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
And I think about that.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I think about the fact that Fauci made three point
five million dollars last year. I think about the fact
that Fauci is still on television saying things like this.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Maybe yeah, I think in retri I think what people
are getting confused is the idea of shutting things down
temporarily was the right decision.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Everyone agreed, we all tell flat and the curve, But
then the curve got flat and we didn't get this
and get back to.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
What happened is that there became almost an ideological divide.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
One thing is very clear, masks work.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
You see a lot of people say, oh, masks don't
masked work.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
They did.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Everyone knows that that stupid mask you wear, it didn't
stop a microscopic virus. Everyone knows that. Don't set aside
your common sense for somebody with a lapel pin that
says doctor on it. Everyone knows that that stupid paper
mask of yours did nothing at all. Everyone knows that.
But he feels completely comfortable saying things like that, raking
(18:25):
in a bunch of money, because we've never had an
actual reckoning. And remember it was Fauci's recommendation. It was
his endless recommendations, the pay of the road for tyrants
like this.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
You're right to go out for a walk in the park.
Go out for a walk because you need to get
out of the house. The dog is getting on your nerves. Fine,
don't infect me. You don't have a right to infect me.
If you are going to be in a situation in
pop where.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
You may come into contact with other people, in a
situation that is not socially distanced, you must have a
mask or a cloth covering nose and mount.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
That is by executive order.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Maybe that doesn't anger you or blow you away. But
you realize a governor should never talk to you like that. Here,
here's what you're allowed to do. And if you're gonna
do this, you better wear that or you better do that, and.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You're not allowed to do that. I've made it.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Still to this day, I could feel my blood pressure rizing.
You know what we need to go. Let's talk about
your shoes and no, look it's me. You know I'm
not judging you for any kind of fashion choices you've made.
I wouldn't be qualified to do so anyway. My wife
has to talk me out of wearing sweats. I'm worried about.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Your shoes though.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Your knees, your back, your hips, your feet, how do
they feel at the end of the day, tired?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Soar even that's.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Your shoes, man, That's why gravity to fire exists, g
to phi. If you have to shorten it up, it's shoes.
But dunique shoes. You see, they have this special technology
in them that makes it easier on your whole body
as you walk around. Your crappy shoes are causing pain
(20:36):
in your hips, in your knees, in your feet, in
your back. You want to get rid of that. Just
try try one pair and I bet you'll own five
of them eventually. That's how incredible these things are. They're miraculous. Listen,
you want a nice deal, text Jessie to nine one
eight eight. That gets you thirty percent off orders one
(20:59):
hundred and twenty bucks or more. Jesse to nine to
one eight eight.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
We'll be back.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
My relationship with Presidency is great.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
It was, It's been great for.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
A long time.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
We've had a very good relationship.
Speaker 10 (21:22):
And I think we'll make a deal with China.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
If we don't make a deal, we'll set it.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
We'll just set the number, and you know, I think
they'll want to be a part of the United States.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
We're doing great. We're gonna this is the Golden age.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
As Paul said, we're talking about the Golden age.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
It will never be a time like this in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
And uh, China wants to be a part of that too.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I gotta be honest with you. I follow this stuff
for a living. You follow this stuff, you know, because
you enjoy it. I'm in the same way as you.
I don't know what's going on with the tariffs. Are
they in place, are they coming, are they not in
place with I don't know, but I know Steve probably knows,
because he's really good at all this stuff. Joining me now,
Stephen W. Moser, President of the Population Research Institute. He
(22:07):
also wrote a wonderful book about the fall of China,
Hopefully the Devil in Communist China? Okay, Stephen, the tariffs specifically,
when it comes to China, what.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Is in place? What is not in place? What is
coming the in place? Where are we at with all this?
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Well?
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Where are we at?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Is?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Where we at?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Is?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Is it?
Speaker 9 (22:28):
China can candition out, but they sure can't take it
because they've been They've been dishing it out to us
for decades, and they put tariff barriers on our goods,
and they have used economic pressure to try to get
us to do what they want. They've been cheating, lying,
and stealing the Communist Party I'm talking about now since
the beginning, Stealing intellectual property, sending Fetannyl here to make
(22:50):
money and killing Americans in the process, Sending agents across
the open southern border, sleeper agents who are gonna, I'm afraid,
plague us during during kind of conflict. So they've been
doing a lot of things, and they've been getting away
with it because no one, no one has responded in
the way that they should have. And now we finally
have a president who is responding to China appropriately. And
(23:14):
what he's doing is he's putting the same kind of
tariffs on Chinese goods that they're putting on us, and
taking into account their theft of intellectual property and their
non terror barriers and all the rest. And so we've
got these tariffs now. I think they're totaling up to
I have trouble too, because they keep going up. Right,
they started ten percent and we had an extra ten
(23:36):
percent because of Fentanel. Then we went up one hundred
and fifty four percent. Then China foolishly responded, and now
we're at two hundred and fifty percent. So the side, Look,
China's economy is going to collapse. You can see it
collapsing in real time right now. And we can talk
about what's happening on the ground in China. People are desperate.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yes, I actually would love to talk about exactly that.
I have about a million things I want to talk
about with you, but really I realize we don't have
time for that.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
So I want you to.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Explain to me, the Chinese economy it's collapse or it's
impending collapse. Because I'll tell you something that has blown
away me as I just watched Steven, I'm not an expert.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Like you are.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Is how much money they throw around everywhere, all over
the globe.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Everywhere you look.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
They're buying off this, they're paying for that, spending an
inhuman amount of money on their military.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
There's no way they have this kind of money.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
Well, the only way they have this kind of money
is from the export sector of the economy, right, the
things that they produce using virtual surf labor, slave labor
actually and produce goods. You know, if you have slaves,
you can produce goods very cheaply, especially if they're hardworking
people like the Chinese, who have great work ethic. And
these people are being worked seven days a week, twelve
(24:51):
hours a day in amazing ships, lengthy ships that Americans
wouldn't tolerate. They can't organize labor units, they can't strike
for higher wages. They object, they're met with police force.
So you know, they work long and hard for slave wages.
So they have this export sector of the economy all
along China's coast, a couple hundred million people are involved
(25:14):
in that. It's based in Guangong and Shanghai and up
north in Tanjin, and so every day you have these
tens of millions of Chinese workers, these minions working producing
goods for export. Where do those goods go? Well, a
lot of those goods come to the United States, about
about sixteen percent of the goods at so that's one
in every six of the shoes that they make comes
(25:37):
to the United States. We've got the biggest consumer economy
in the world. And actually some other stuff comes for
the US too, indirectly from Vietnam and Indonesia and Hong Kong,
which is tranship because the Chinese Communist Party is trying
to trick us into thinking that not all of these
cheap labor goods come from China, but they do, they're
just shipped through other places. So right now with the tariffs,
(26:00):
no one is buying those goods because all of a sudden,
they're not the cheapest place to get shirts and shoes.
And so the containers, they are huge piles of containers
piling up in China's major ports that will never be
shipped anywhere because they're filled with goods that were ordered
months ago from the United States, and those orders have
(26:22):
now been canceled. There are huge numbers of ships sitting offshore,
most of which are owned by China. I mean talking
about dozens of container ships off guang Nong, dozens of
container ships off Shanghai waiting in ports for cargo that
will never come. So about half of all the container
voyages between China and the US are being canceled right now,
(26:45):
right now, in real time, and that will only make
the current backlog worse. Those ships aren't going anywhere because
no one wants to buy the cheap Chinese goods, and
many of these goods look were made for the China
for the American market. Example, the Christmas orders should be
coming in now for things like artificial Christmas trees. Who
buys artificial Christmas trees, Well, not the Europeans, not the
(27:09):
Southeast Asians. Americans do, and we're not going to be
buying them this year. Who buys trampolines for your backyard
for kids? Spend three or four five hundred dollars on
a trampoline for your kids so they can bounce around happily.
For the Europeans, don't do that. The South Americans don't
do that. The Americans do that. That market is now gone,
So there are lots of goods that have been produced
(27:31):
that can't be sold. I look at Chinese videos of
warehouses filled with piles of shoes and piles of clothes,
and piles of other goods that are now being sold
for pennies on the dollar to people in China. They're
basically going to be have to be giving away these
goods for less than the cost of manufacturing them. I'm
(27:53):
looking at factories now that are closing down, workers being
sent home with their last paycheck or maybe not being
paid at all, because if you don't pay the workers,
what can they do? They have no recourse. Empty streets
and shuttered shops in the surrounding cities where those workers
would have gone to buy lunch, right the noodle shops,
the convenience stores, the small retailers, they're all going out
(28:14):
of business. Tea shops, they're all going out of business.
So for every one factory job you lose, you lose
two or three other jobs in the surrounding area. TIMU
used to do big business in the United States. Well,
guess what, they just officially turned off all of their
Google shopping campaigns because they're goods which they were shipping,
you know, by mail to the United States can't be
(28:37):
shipped here anymore because they're now subject to tariffs. Because
Trump eliminated the loophole which enable you to send a
package worth less than eight hundred dollars to the US
without terraffs. Now all those packages are going to be
tariff and all those goods are no longer as dirt
cheap as they used to be. So America only absorbs about,
(28:57):
you know, one sixth of China's exports, but can consider
that the next largest customer, Vietnam, well accounts for about
four percent. So yeah, they're selling little bits of stuff
here and there around the world, but they will never
be able to make up over the short term the
loss of the American market, and that American market is gone,
China's GDP is going to take a tremendous hit. They're
(29:19):
going to be I estimate twenty million workers out of
a job in China over the next couple months. That
hemorrhaging has already started, it's going to continue. That's on
top of the already high youth unemployment rate. We're about
forty percent, four out of ten of young people from
sixteen to twenty five are unemployed in China. They're going
(29:40):
to be millions of people in China's coastal cities who
don't have jobs and can't afford to live, can't afford
to buy food.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Stephen, my concern. Look, it's just a concern. I'm not
saying anyone's doing anything wrong. What is China do in
response to this? We know they have a totalitarian.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
At the top.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
He doesn't have complete iron clad control, obviously, I've heard
from several people.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
He's afraid of his generals. He's afraid of this.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
China has to respond right, if she can't afford to
just have the economy collapse, they have to do something right.
Speaker 9 (30:18):
Well they do, and I think they're going to be
so caught up in the internal turmoil, the social unrest
that is coming. I mean, we're talking about the fate
of tens of millions of Chinese and consider this that
you know, it's only a matter of time before they
take to the streets demanding what demanding food? I mean,
(30:38):
they're not making a demand for an increase in wages,
for example, they're demanding the right to live, the right
to survive. And look, these people have nowhere else to go.
You know, I spent ten years in age, I spent
many years in China, and I lived in villages. I
lived in small towns. Forty years ago, the people now
(31:00):
out of work could have gone back to the villages.
That's where they came from, that's where their families were.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
They could go back.
Speaker 9 (31:05):
They would have a room, they would have a house,
they could farm in the fields. Twenty years ago, they
could have gone back to the villages, and people in
the villages would have been older now, and some of
the fields would have not been farmed, but they still
could have survived. But this generation was raised by their
grandparents in the villages. Their parents grew up in the cities.
(31:26):
They grew up in the cities, and those villages are
now empty. Those grandparents are now in their seventies and
eighties and dying out. The fields aren't being farmed anymore.
Some of the villages in the marginal areas are completely abandoned.
In other words, they can't go back. There's no place
for them to go back too. They're stuck in the cities.
So there's a huge boat floating population of people in
(31:46):
the cities, and I think, so there's no soft rice
paddy to land on this time, there's no going home.
So yeah, I expect food ryots. And sure you've got
China with the People's Armed Police one point one million
members of something called the People's arm Police. What is
the People's arm Police. Well, it's one million members of
(32:08):
the Chinese military who were transferred into the police force
after the Chinaman demonstrations of thirty some years ago. These
are military units. They have tanks, they have armored personnel carriers,
they have heavy artillery, and they're there specifically to make
sure there's not a rebellion against the Chinese Communist Party.
(32:29):
But I think there's going to be turmoil in China.
And here, what do we do. Well, you know, we
may be paying a little more for goods from China,
which most of us can afford to do, and we
can do without the extra brands of Christmas lights or
the trampoline for the kids to jump in. But in
China we're talking about literally a life and death situation
(32:50):
with millions of people going to bed hungry every night,
and there's a real possibility first time since the nineteen
sixties of a famine. China can feed itself. China imports
a third of all the grain that the people eat
every year, the soybeans, the corn, all of the other grains.
They can't grow enough food to feed their own people.
(33:10):
So I'm thinking, and actually I'm hoping, that that Shijan Ping,
the leader of China and the Chinese Communist Party, will
be so caught up dealing with the internal turmoil and
trying to prevent the complete collapse of the economy that
they won't engage in any foreign adventures. But it's going
to be a close run thing, because what's the best
(33:33):
way to distract your people from the fact that they
have hungry bellies and they're having to tighten their belts. Well,
engaging in a little foreign war will sometimes do that.
China has already. Chinese people have already been told by
Sijan Ping, the leader of the Communist Party, that they
must be prepared to eat bitterness suir ku in the
(33:55):
Chinese phrase eat bitterness. That means prepared for hard times.
And that doesn't mean just kipping a meal. In China,
that means that hard times you may starve to death.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Wow, China has They've had a femin or two in
the past. Steven, thank you so much. I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Sir very much.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
That's good, right, But I think the same thing you think,
there's going to be a response an economy of country
that size and not just going to collapse without a fight.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
I love sleeping.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I sleep good all the time I looked I'm a
natural sleeper. But as somebody who is a natural sleeper,
I've always had to be very careful when I take
something to sleep, because I have my moments where I've
had too much caffeine or the day was too stressful.
If I take really anything, anything I've ever taken my
entire life, I'll sleep forever, and then I'll wake up
(34:54):
and I'll feel who were horrible? Every single time I
wake up, and I want to die. That's why love
dream powder from Beam so much. I feel good, I
feel rested, not droggy. That's because it's natural. You see,
it's a cup of hot chocolate, which is delicious. I
love hot chocolate anyway, but it's natural. It as melatonin
and rachie and all kinds.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Of things in it.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
It'll put you to sleep, You'll stay asleep, and you
wake up feeling rested. Go to shopbeam dot com slash

Speaker 10 (35:39):
Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity,
He had a sharpness to him. You said that up
until July of last year.
Speaker 11 (35:48):
I said what I believe to be true.
Speaker 10 (35:50):
And do you think he was as sharp as you?
Speaker 11 (35:56):
I said, I had not seen to climb, and I
hadn't at that point.
Speaker 10 (36:03):
You did not see any decline from twenty twenty four
Joe Biden to twenty twenty one Joe Biden when I.
Speaker 11 (36:08):
Said that, you know what the thing is heat? Look,
he was sharp, he was on his feet. I saw
him live event. I had meetings with him a couple
of times.
Speaker 10 (36:23):
Senator on his feet is not praise. He can speak
in sentences is not praise.
Speaker 11 (36:31):
Fair enough, fair enough?
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Oh, So I have this theory.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Joining me now, John Phillips, host of The John Phillips Show,
which is now live on the Wonderful KSFO in San Francisco. John, So,
I have this theory about politicians because I always encourage
people to run for office, and I tell them there's
a time limit.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
The second you get elected.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
It will slowly but surely eat away at your soul
the longer you're there, and eventually you're just you're Elizabeth Warren,
where you'll just tell these brazen lies without without hesitation
at all, that slowly you'll become no longer human.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 9 (37:14):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (37:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (37:14):
And I love the way that she was looking at him,
because she looked like a parent who is lying.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
To their kid. Yeah, you're going to the dentist, but
it's not going to hurt. Just trust. Beyond this one.
Speaker 6 (37:25):
Where you could tell that she was being only as
honest as she had to be to get the result
that she wanted. But what you saw there, I think,
more than anything, was an indictment of the media. How
is it that Elizabeth Warren and the rest of them
have been lying to us for years and years and
years about his mental acuity and she doesn't get asked
(37:49):
about it until she's at the floral shop there and
suddenly it's surprised. You have to explain away something that
all of us know isn't true. And it was a lie.
It was a complete lie where we were watching him
falling up the stairs on television on a daily basis,
talking to dead people, yet in private when he's meeting
(38:09):
with these Democrats. He's putting together Rubik's cubes and doing
advanced calculus for a party that has been going on
and on and on about the threat to democracy. Think
about this for a second. They lied to us for
four years about a demented person who could hide his
own Easter eggs being in charge of the government when
(38:30):
an unelected, unknown body of people were actually calling the shots,
and they never got straight with us about who it
was that was making the decisions for the last four years.
How in the world is that democracy?
Speaker 11 (38:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Are the American people angry about that aspect of it?
Speaker 2 (38:54):
John?
Speaker 1 (38:54):
I mean angry at Democrats about the fact that the
president of the United States of Amyria wasn't functional. I
know the American people rejected an open border. I know
they were upset about inflation, and these were the big
issues that carried Donald Trump into the White House. But
I still, honestly, I laughed when we just put up
that video of Joe Biden speaking. But I'm still angry
(39:15):
about it. I still laugh about it, and I'm still
angry that our country was led by that person for
four years.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Are the American people angry about it?
Speaker 6 (39:25):
Whatever a party loses an election. There's always a million
different factors that go into it. It's usually not one
thing that causes you to win or to lose. And
Kamala Harris was one of the ones who was in
those closed door rooms with Joe Biden and saw his
current condition and lied to us about it on a
regular basis. And I think the fact that everyone understood
(39:48):
that she had to be aware of this and lied
to us about it played a role in people thinking
that she was not authentically true during the campaign, which
I think was one of her time problems. She couldn't
answer her question and we didn't really know who this
person was who wanted to be president. Because she's on
both sides of every issue, She's saying things that we
(40:09):
know to be factually false, and I think that that
ultimately ended up being her biggest problem, and lying to
us about the condition of Joe Biden played a role.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
In that.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
What's she going to do now?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Obviously the rumors are flying she's running for governor, that
she may run back for president, but John all these
problems remain. It's not as if Kamala Harris has been
sitting around doing a bunch of heavy reading, getting boning
up on the issues and things like that that you
don't change when.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
You're sixty years old. She is what she's been.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
She's not going to have any success, certainly not running
for president.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Where's she go.
Speaker 6 (40:50):
She doesn't think she's the reason that she lost. I'm
sure she blames Joe Biden, you're not getting out earlier.
I'm sure she blames the Democratic Party people like Nancy
Pelosi and Jim Carville for winning an open convention. So
she doesn't look in the mirror and say, Okay, you're
the problem. She doesn't want to go out of politics
as a loser, and that's what she is right now.
(41:12):
She lost to Donald Trump, and there's a lot of
Democrats out there who harbor resentment towards her because of it.
So she needs to do something so that her Wikipedia
page doesn't say the flast act was her losing to
Donald Trump. So she can do a couple of different things.
She can run for president again, which she might do,
(41:34):
in which case she might lose the Democratic primary, and
then she goes out a double loser, someone who couldn't
win when it was handed to her, and someone couldn't
win a Democratic primary for a second time after being
a sitting vice president that would be horrible. Or she
could find an office that she thinks is attainable, get
(41:54):
elected to that and say, Okay, I may have lost
to Donald Trump, but I was a two term governor
of California. The problem for that is that being governor
of California is not an easy task, especially right now
where we're in crisis, whether it comes to insurance or homelessness,
or crime, or the budget or fire mitigation or water whatever.
Speaker 4 (42:18):
We need someone who's fully.
Speaker 6 (42:20):
Engaged, who's been thinking about these things for a while,
who has some kind of idea as to what they
will do to solve these problems. We don't need another
absentee landlord. If she were to run for California governor
and she has no ideas, it's going to be a
brutal campaign because that's going to be pointed out at
(42:41):
various times on the campaign trail, and she's going to
look foolish. If her name idea is enough to get
her elected, she's going to be elected to an office
that is a full time job, plus where she doesn't
even have interest in the subject matter that she'll have
to deal with, let alone some kind of background in
(43:01):
solving those problems. So I think that's a minefield for
her too. I don't think there are any good options
in elected office for Kamala Harris right now.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Well, how is she going to face any kind of
scrutiny from the California media when she never has before?
Do they have a new bell of the ball and
the Democrat Party out there?
Speaker 6 (43:24):
If the Democratic candidates think she has no viability in
the future to be president, then she can't punish them.
And if she can't punish them, then it's like you're
playing in the NFL and the defense lin lines up
offside and you have a free play. So they might
be a little bit more aggressive with her than you're
(43:45):
expecting them to be.
Speaker 4 (43:47):
Also, keep in mind who's in this field.
Speaker 6 (43:50):
You have a lady Canolacus, who's the Lieutenant governor, who
is a billionaire. She's from one of the top ten
richest families in California, so if she wants to go
sports to Earth, she has the resources to really go
scorts to Earth. And the other one is Katie Porter,
who every one of the Democratic Party hates. She ran
against their beloved Adam Shift for the US Senate and
(44:13):
got real nasty with him during that campaign lost that
she has nothing to lose, and if Kamala Harris stands
in her way, I have zero doubt that the same
woman who dumped a pot of boiling hot potatoes on
her ex husband's head is willing to slam dunk another
pot of potatoes right on.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
Kamala, Well, you don't want to get in front of
Katie Porker. She will eat you up.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
By the way, you're being pretty hard on California, but
Oakland seems to have things figured out.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
This is their new mayor.
Speaker 12 (44:46):
Our You're calling for a fifty dollars an hour federal
minimum wage. That's seven times the current national minimum wage
of seven to twenty five an hour. Can you explain
how that would be economically sustainable for small businesses? Say
sixty seconds, do the math.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
Just do the math.
Speaker 13 (45:03):
Of course, we had national minimum wages that we need
to raise to a living wage. You're talking about twenty
five dollars. Fine, but I have got to be focused
on what California needs and what the affordability factor is
when we calculate this wage.
Speaker 12 (45:18):
Bisley, thank you, mister Garvey.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
John.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
At some point in time we get the government we deserve.
It's it's hard to feel bad for Oakland at this
point in time.
Speaker 6 (45:28):
Enjoy close your eyes and re listen to that, and
tell me that's not Steve Rkle. You know, she she's
been in Congress for out hitting decades now, and then
suddenly she loses. She came in fourth when she ran
for US Senate and she was going to go out
to lose her and decided, Okay, well I'll find the
(45:49):
next available job that's open, and I'll do that. So
she's going to be in Oakland, where the last mayor
who was just recalled from office is looking at ninety
plus years in prison for correct. Part of her final
days in office was selling the coliseum where the Raiders
and the A's used to play. That deal is now
being called into question. The city's budget depended on that
(46:12):
going through. So if that deal is clawed back, my
guess is Oakland will be bankrupt. The nine to one
to one system doesn't work. The in and out Burger
just shut down a profitable location because they said they
couldn't make sure that their employees and customers were safe.
And now, at almost eighty years of age, she decides
(46:33):
that this is the job that she wants to take on.
It's going to look like the day after the end
of the world by the time she leaves office, and
it kind of already does.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Now. Oh oh gosh, so Oakland's gonna get worse.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
That's just amazing to me. God, John, thank you, my friend.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
As always, all right, it's time to lighten the mood.
And I do, I do enjoy, I enjoy Randy Winegarden.
(47:13):
She's known as Communist John Denver on this show. I
enjoy her because her lack of self awareness creates entertainment
for you, in entertainment for me. For instance, she's not
a good speaker by any stretch of the imagination voice.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
It's it's so much.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
Yet because of her role, she just does speeches all
the time, and she goes on television shows all the time.
And she went on with Martha McCallum and she called her, sweetheart,
that was a mistake.
Speaker 11 (47:45):
You have actually very Martha, sweetheart, sweetheart listened to me,
she does, I'm sorry, my bad.
Speaker 9 (47:54):
It actually does.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
Matter, said good naw. But now a stable mm hmmm,
m
Speaker 9 (48:09):
M h m hmm.
Okay, Before we have a heavy, heavy talk about the
constitution and the country and the courts and deportation and
all that terrible stuff, which we'll get to in just
a moment. I want to get to this, which is
more terrible. Obviously, honoring the fallen. We lost a couple
of Marines in training last week, well, not training. They
(00:32):
were on the southern border. Okay, so they're down there
for a reason. It was a non combat thing. It happens.
Vehicles crashed. This was a vehicle accident. It's as common
as anything.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It happens. And in ancient times, men died falling off
their horses.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Okay, sucks, but it happened, and they died serving their country.
Lance Corporal Albert Aguilera, who's twenty two years old, and
Lance Corporal Marcelino Gamino, he was twenty eight years old. Simplify,
young brothers. They gave their lives for this country. Honor
their sacrifice as we do here on the first All right.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Okay, Now.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Let's talk about the courts, the Trump administration, you and me.
Let's talk about the United States of America, and this
is going to come back to the Supreme Court. Just
let's give away the end of it here, in case
you weren't paying attention.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Most everybody was.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Over the weekend, the Supreme Court decided that the Trump
administration cannot use the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety
eight to deport members of Trend de Arragua, a prison gang.
Now I should be perfectly clear about this. It was
(01:51):
a temporary thing. The Supreme Court says, hey, you're not
allowed to deport them anymore. We have to wait on
this cord and that cord. We'll wait on a couple things,
but at least for now, you're not gonna do it.
We have to slow down and make sure we're doing
this the right way. So that is actually what I
wanted to talk to you about.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And I am.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Perfectly aware that what I'm about to say is going
to chafe on many many people. You may get angry,
you may turn off the television, you may send me
hate mail, and all that stuff is fine. It doesn't
change anything about what I'm going to say. So here's
what it is. First, I want you to picture this.
I want you to picture that you you are playing monopoly.
(02:36):
I'm a monopoly against somebody you don't like at all.
Picture the person who's the person you hate the most,
just you and them. You're playing a game of monopoly, okay,
and a monopoly as you are well aware, even if
you've never played it yourself. There are rules, of course.
There's dice you have to roll to die. There are
(02:59):
different cars you want to try to land on this property.
There are little little cards at random that you get.
Hey you get five hundred dollars. Hey you owe five
hundred dollars. This random things like that. I I am
going to administer the rules of the game.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
There are rules of the game.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I'm going to oversee the game and administer the rules
of the game.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Now, let's say.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
The person you're playing against designs don't have any need
for these rules, no need for these rules at all.
So when it's time for them to cast to die,
instead of using the games die, they simp. They grab
the loaded die that they brought along that rules whatever
number they want. Now, this would be the point where
you would think I, the administrator, administrator of the rules,
(03:45):
would step.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
In and say no, no, no, no no, But I let
them go. No, no, no, use your own guy. It's all
it's all good. There.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
When they get a chance card or something they don't like, Oh,
pay ten percent in taxes.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Don't like that.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
They just put it back and keep fishing till they
get a card they want me. I'm sitting there overseeing
the whole thing. No, no, no, no, no, no, it's fine.
Do whatever you want. That's what I do when it's
their turn. But then when your turn comes along, you
have to use You're gonna use the dice.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I give you the dice of the game.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
No, no, no, don't think you're gonna switch out that
chance card.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Uh uh nope, nope, nope. You you do the game
the right way. You follow the rules.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I am the administrator, and you will follow the rules.
Let me ask you something, who's going to win that game?
It's inevitable. The game cannot be won by you. It's
not humanly possible, especially when the administrator is very clearly
in on allowing them to.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Do the most evil things in the world. And you
have to follow the rules.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Now, let's talk about the country, the courts, immigration, the constitution,
let's chat show.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
One. Let me go.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Ahead and get this out of the way right off
the bat. And I want to make sure I'm crystal
clear about this where we are as a country. It
saddens me a great deal what I'm about to talk about.
I don't celebrate. I'm not cheering it on. I'm like, yeah,
I think what I'm about to talk about, what I'm
(05:24):
about to say, is the most awful thing in the world.
Because I want the United States of America to stay together,
to be a good, wonderful country that exists for my
kids and their kids and their kids after them. That's
my desire. But here's where we are as a country.
The American left hates the United States of America. That sucks,
(05:47):
But that's where we're all. Half the country hates the country.
And because they hate the country when they are elected,
when they get power. You saw this for four years
under Joe Biden. At of hating the country means they
will ignore every law, they will ignore every rule. They
will simply set these things aside, and they will bring
(06:11):
in as many barbarians, as many foreigners as they can
possibly bring in. And the time they have, they won't
just open up the doors at the border. They will
fly them in as fast as they can. They will
take large chunks of your money, and they'll send planes
to other countries. And load those planes full of illegals
and fly them into your town. That is how committed
(06:34):
the communists are to destroying the United States of America.
And while Joe Biden did that, While Biden and the
maoists in his government did that, no court stop them.
They were never stopped. Nothing was treated as an emergency.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Nothing but that.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
There were no breaks on it at all, and there
were all kinds of violations.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Of the law and the rules and norms. There was nothing.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
They just yep, going, Nothing stopped them over up. Remember
one morning, do you remember the Haitians? Remember the Haitians?
One morning we woke up and there were fourteen thousand
freaking Haitians on the southern border, and we're looking around,
Oh wait what?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And then we.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Started to get a little suspicious because it was a
day or two and the administration. Do you remember the
administration kept trying to stop news coverage of it. Hey
don't show those people on camera. I believe it was
three days. Might be wrong about that, but I believe
it was three days.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
We woke up and they were gone in one night.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
The Biden administration waited until everyone was asleep and the
sun dipped down and the Biden administration took fourteen thousand
Haitians and brought every single one of them into your country.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Maybe they're going to school with your children right now.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Every rule, every norm, every law set aside, and the courts,
including the Supreme ones, sat back.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Ah, it's all right, Well, maybe we'll get to that. Well,
hold on just a moment.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
The rules of the game completely set aside, completely ignored.
The administrators of the rules couldn't be bothered to step in.
For four years, the mnemonic communists known as Democrats filled
up your country with as many foreigners as humanly possible.
Now we have four years, and I want to be
(08:27):
crystal clear about this. You cannot get them all out
in four years, no matter what you do. It's not
humanly possible that many people spread out over a country
this fast, or so mixed in as so many communities,
and ingrained here without any breaks, without any courts, without anything.
The Trump administration cannot possibly remove twenty million people with
(08:51):
the speed Joe Biden brought them in, that is, with
no courts, no obstructions at all, With no obstructions at all,
we cannot fix what Democrats have broken in the last
four years. That's with no obstructions. But instead, what we
have now is we are well north of one hundred
days into the Trump presidency. We are roughly one eighth
(09:12):
done with the Trump presidency, and court after court after
court after court after court, including the Supreme One, continues
to throw up roadblocks every.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Chance they get. Well blah, well not quite yet. Hold on,
you got to go through that. Hey, he deserves some
due process.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Well, hold on, that's got to go to the lower
court with an adjuncted babe of baby bee. So I
understand there are all kinds of legal arguments or well,
you have to do things the right way and due process,
and you know what, and I'm not actually going to
argue against you with any of those things. You can
bring up the hebeas corpus and all that odd, but that's.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Fine, but totally fine.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm not a legal scholar, do not pretend to be,
but I am most definitely somebody who can see reality.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And here is the reality.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
If the Communists are allowed to import as many foreign
barbarians into the country as they possibly can, and they
will with their four years of power, and we are
not allowed to deport them as quickly as they have imported.
Then the United States of America will end. The country
is simply going to come apart and break apart in
some way that's going to be terrible. We will break apart,
(10:17):
we will end most likely something got awful, like a
civil war, some kind of horrible thing. But it will end,
and it will end terribly. And that is a fact.
I don't care about any of your other arguments. What
about the Constitution, what about the I don't care what
your arguments are. If we are not allowed to deport
foreigners at the same pace they import foreigners, We're finished.
(10:38):
It's over, can't be won, can't be done. And so
my final message here as I wrap this up, is
actually not for you. It's for the Trump administration. And
I'm I'm assuming they know this, but maybe they don't.
So here's the reality of it. I don't want a dictator.
(11:00):
I want to be free. I want to live in
a constitutional republic as a free man where I get
a voice. Say I do not want a dictator. I
hope you don't either. We are going to get one.
If the Trump administration is not willing to go far enough,
ignore these courts, including the Supreme Court, and move forward
(11:22):
with the mass deportation of barbarians. If the Trump administration
is not allowed to implement the will of the voters,
and we still see poll after poll after poll, the
will of the voters remains with Trump and mass deportations.
If the will of the voters is not allowed by
the courts or this or that, then the right will
choose a dictator very shortly in your lifetime, including in mind.
(11:45):
If the Trump administration is given the mandate it was
given and for four years they are prevented from mass deportations,
the next Republican nominee will with somebody who promises to
throw journalists in prison. I'm not even close to getting
That is how serious this situation is right now, and
that is my fear, and I hope the Trump administration
(12:06):
knows this. Ignore the Supreme Court. Anyone who tries to
stop you, anyone, any entity, any human being, no matter
their title, throw them in prison. To all that may
have made you uncomfortable, But I am right. I love
feeling full of energy all the time. It's nice because look,
we all understand that as you start to get older,
(12:27):
start to run out of gas more right earlier in
the day, that's two in the afternoon if.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Someone fire up the coffee pot, you know, you.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Don't have to feel like that. You need to get
your levels where they need to be, and you need
to do it naturally with natural herbal supplements from Chalk.
Chalk has the highest quality natural herbal supplements I've ever
seen in my life.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
They are I'm.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Trying to decide if calling them hardcore anti communists is
under selling it. They're on our team. I'll put it
to you that way. Go try it. Try some description.
I take a male vitality stack every day. If you're wondering,
they have female vitality stacks too. They have so much
Go give it ninety days and tell me you don't
(13:10):
feel like a new person. Chalk dot com slash jessetv.
I want to talk about doctor Fauci and COVID in
the system and the lies.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
We're not going to let this go.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
We're not going to allow the destruction of American freedom, jobs, economy,
school children. We're not going to just let it go
and act well. So let's just let know. I'm not
going to let it go. I'm not There are things
that I'm never going to let go. I'm never going
to forget. I'm going to continue to bring this up
until I get some sort of.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Justice on this earth.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I want to bring up an interesting aspect of it
because there's a lot of things we could talk about
when it comes to COVID.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
But remember remember all the debate over the origins of COVID.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Right right away, you remember, right when it came out,
people wanted.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
To know, Hey, new virus. Where did it come from? Right?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Was it Africa? And then we found oh, oh, okay,
it was China. All right, I'm learning like you're learning.
We're all learning at once. Sometime watching TV. I'm reading stuff. Okay,
came from China, all right, we got that. And then
there were debates, well it looks like it looks like
it came from Wuhan City in China. Oh okay, Well
(14:34):
I don't know about Wuhan. I've never been there before.
All right, you say, so cool? Cool, And then didn't
take long for people to figure out, well, wait a minute,
there's actually a there's a lab in Wuhan, a lab
that works with viruses. That's interesting, Hey, is that is
(14:56):
that where it came from? And that question, more specifically,
the answer to that question was so revealing to me
early on about how ugly this whole thing was, because immediately, immediately,
every single part of the system, the freaking Central Intelligence Agency,
(15:18):
every part of the system, the media, the doctor's, everybody
insisted that that couldn't be it. We didn't know that,
nobody knew that yet. What do you mean, why are
you demanding that you don't know? It was from an
animal market or something. Okay, maybe even you sissy, you
know it didn't you know it didn't come from the
(15:40):
lab fault.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
She was all over TV saying this.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
We still open up and keep always an open mind
as to whether or not this had to do with
a virus that was isolated out in the environment and
that came into a lab and then had what most
people referred to as.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
A lab leak.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I believe that is less likely that that's the case,
but I.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Also believe we need to keep an open mind and
have all possibilities be investigated. But the evidence from the
virology community points strongly towards a natural occurrence.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, no, no, look, we need to look into it,
but it's definitely probably a natural occurrence.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Except we just got a report out from.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
The White House COVID report and says a lot of
things in it. The one thing we know now we
know while Fauci was on TV talking about having an
open mind, Fauci he worked to destroy anybody who said
it might.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Come from a lab.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
He worked to discredit anybody people part of that community.
We're talking accomplished people. Fauci worked really hard to discredit
and destroy them if they said it came from a lab,
the lab. That doesn't sound like keeping an open mind.
That sounds like an nefarious super villain working very hard
(17:05):
to cover something up.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
For some reason.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
In fact, almost sounds like somebody trying to cover up
a crime, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
And I think about that.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I think about the fact that Fauci made three point
five million dollars last year. I think about the fact
that Fauci is still on television saying things like this.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Maybe yeah, I think in retri I think what people
are getting confused is the idea of shutting things down
temporarily was the right decision.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Everyone agreed, we all tell flat and the curve, But
then the curve got flat and we didn't get this
and get back to.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
What happened is that there became almost an ideological divide.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
One thing is very clear, masks work.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
You see a lot of people say, oh, masks don't
masked work.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
They did.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Everyone knows that that stupid mask you wear, it didn't
stop a microscopic virus. Everyone knows that. Don't set aside
your common sense for somebody with a lapel pin that
says doctor on it. Everyone knows that that stupid paper
mask of yours did nothing at all. Everyone knows that.
But he feels completely comfortable saying things like that, raking
(18:25):
in a bunch of money, because we've never had an
actual reckoning. And remember it was Fauci's recommendation. It was
his endless recommendations, the pay of the road for tyrants
like this.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
You're right to go out for a walk in the park.
Go out for a walk because you need to get
out of the house. The dog is getting on your nerves. Fine,
don't infect me. You don't have a right to infect me.
If you are going to be in a situation in
pop where.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
You may come into contact with other people, in a
situation that is not socially distanced, you must have a
mask or a cloth covering nose and mount.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
That is by executive order.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Maybe that doesn't anger you or blow you away. But
you realize a governor should never talk to you like that. Here,
here's what you're allowed to do. And if you're gonna
do this, you better wear that or you better do that, and.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You're not allowed to do that. I've made it.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Still to this day, I could feel my blood pressure rizing.
You know what we need to go. Let's talk about
your shoes and no, look it's me. You know I'm
not judging you for any kind of fashion choices you've made.
I wouldn't be qualified to do so anyway. My wife
has to talk me out of wearing sweats. I'm worried about.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Your shoes though.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Your knees, your back, your hips, your feet, how do
they feel at the end of the day, tired?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Soar even that's.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Your shoes, man, That's why gravity to fire exists, g
to phi. If you have to shorten it up, it's shoes.
But dunique shoes. You see, they have this special technology
in them that makes it easier on your whole body
as you walk around. Your crappy shoes are causing pain
(20:36):
in your hips, in your knees, in your feet, in
your back. You want to get rid of that. Just
try try one pair and I bet you'll own five
of them eventually. That's how incredible these things are. They're miraculous. Listen,
you want a nice deal, text Jessie to nine one
eight eight. That gets you thirty percent off orders one
(20:59):
hundred and twenty bucks or more. Jesse to nine to
one eight eight.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
We'll be back.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
My relationship with Presidency is great.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
It was, It's been great for.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
A long time.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
We've had a very good relationship.
Speaker 10 (21:22):
And I think we'll make a deal with China.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
If we don't make a deal, we'll set it.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
We'll just set the number, and you know, I think
they'll want to be a part of the United States.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
We're doing great. We're gonna this is the Golden age.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
As Paul said, we're talking about the Golden age.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
It will never be a time like this in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
And uh, China wants to be a part of that too.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I gotta be honest with you. I follow this stuff
for a living. You follow this stuff, you know, because
you enjoy it. I'm in the same way as you.
I don't know what's going on with the tariffs. Are
they in place, are they coming, are they not in
place with I don't know, but I know Steve probably knows,
because he's really good at all this stuff. Joining me now,
Stephen W. Moser, President of the Population Research Institute. He
(22:07):
also wrote a wonderful book about the fall of China,
Hopefully the Devil in Communist China? Okay, Stephen, the tariffs specifically,
when it comes to China, what.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Is in place? What is not in place? What is
coming the in place? Where are we at with all this?
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Well?
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Where are we at?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Is?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Where we at?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Is?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Is it?
Speaker 9 (22:28):
China can candition out, but they sure can't take it
because they've been They've been dishing it out to us
for decades, and they put tariff barriers on our goods,
and they have used economic pressure to try to get
us to do what they want. They've been cheating, lying,
and stealing the Communist Party I'm talking about now since
the beginning, Stealing intellectual property, sending Fetannyl here to make
(22:50):
money and killing Americans in the process, Sending agents across
the open southern border, sleeper agents who are gonna, I'm afraid,
plague us during during kind of conflict. So they've been
doing a lot of things, and they've been getting away
with it because no one, no one has responded in
the way that they should have. And now we finally
have a president who is responding to China appropriately. And
(23:14):
what he's doing is he's putting the same kind of
tariffs on Chinese goods that they're putting on us, and
taking into account their theft of intellectual property and their
non terror barriers and all the rest. And so we've
got these tariffs now. I think they're totaling up to
I have trouble too, because they keep going up. Right,
they started ten percent and we had an extra ten
(23:36):
percent because of Fentanel. Then we went up one hundred
and fifty four percent. Then China foolishly responded, and now
we're at two hundred and fifty percent. So the side, Look,
China's economy is going to collapse. You can see it
collapsing in real time right now. And we can talk
about what's happening on the ground in China. People are desperate.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yes, I actually would love to talk about exactly that.
I have about a million things I want to talk
about with you, but really I realize we don't have
time for that.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
So I want you to.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Explain to me, the Chinese economy it's collapse or it's
impending collapse. Because I'll tell you something that has blown
away me as I just watched Steven, I'm not an expert.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Like you are.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Is how much money they throw around everywhere, all over
the globe.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Everywhere you look.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
They're buying off this, they're paying for that, spending an
inhuman amount of money on their military.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
There's no way they have this kind of money.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
Well, the only way they have this kind of money
is from the export sector of the economy, right, the
things that they produce using virtual surf labor, slave labor
actually and produce goods. You know, if you have slaves,
you can produce goods very cheaply, especially if they're hardworking
people like the Chinese, who have great work ethic. And
these people are being worked seven days a week, twelve
(24:51):
hours a day in amazing ships, lengthy ships that Americans
wouldn't tolerate. They can't organize labor units, they can't strike
for higher wages. They object, they're met with police force.
So you know, they work long and hard for slave wages.
So they have this export sector of the economy all
along China's coast, a couple hundred million people are involved
(25:14):
in that. It's based in Guangong and Shanghai and up
north in Tanjin, and so every day you have these
tens of millions of Chinese workers, these minions working producing
goods for export. Where do those goods go? Well, a
lot of those goods come to the United States, about
about sixteen percent of the goods at so that's one
in every six of the shoes that they make comes
(25:37):
to the United States. We've got the biggest consumer economy
in the world. And actually some other stuff comes for
the US too, indirectly from Vietnam and Indonesia and Hong Kong,
which is tranship because the Chinese Communist Party is trying
to trick us into thinking that not all of these
cheap labor goods come from China, but they do, they're
just shipped through other places. So right now with the tariffs,
(26:00):
no one is buying those goods because all of a sudden,
they're not the cheapest place to get shirts and shoes.
And so the containers, they are huge piles of containers
piling up in China's major ports that will never be
shipped anywhere because they're filled with goods that were ordered
months ago from the United States, and those orders have
(26:22):
now been canceled. There are huge numbers of ships sitting offshore,
most of which are owned by China. I mean talking
about dozens of container ships off guang Nong, dozens of
container ships off Shanghai waiting in ports for cargo that
will never come. So about half of all the container
voyages between China and the US are being canceled right now,
(26:45):
right now, in real time, and that will only make
the current backlog worse. Those ships aren't going anywhere because
no one wants to buy the cheap Chinese goods, and
many of these goods look were made for the China
for the American market. Example, the Christmas orders should be
coming in now for things like artificial Christmas trees. Who
buys artificial Christmas trees, Well, not the Europeans, not the
(27:09):
Southeast Asians. Americans do, and we're not going to be
buying them this year. Who buys trampolines for your backyard
for kids? Spend three or four five hundred dollars on
a trampoline for your kids so they can bounce around happily.
For the Europeans, don't do that. The South Americans don't
do that. The Americans do that. That market is now gone,
So there are lots of goods that have been produced
(27:31):
that can't be sold. I look at Chinese videos of
warehouses filled with piles of shoes and piles of clothes,
and piles of other goods that are now being sold
for pennies on the dollar to people in China. They're
basically going to be have to be giving away these
goods for less than the cost of manufacturing them. I'm
(27:53):
looking at factories now that are closing down, workers being
sent home with their last paycheck or maybe not being
paid at all, because if you don't pay the workers,
what can they do? They have no recourse. Empty streets
and shuttered shops in the surrounding cities where those workers
would have gone to buy lunch, right the noodle shops,
the convenience stores, the small retailers, they're all going out
(28:14):
of business. Tea shops, they're all going out of business.
So for every one factory job you lose, you lose
two or three other jobs in the surrounding area. TIMU
used to do big business in the United States. Well,
guess what, they just officially turned off all of their
Google shopping campaigns because they're goods which they were shipping,
you know, by mail to the United States can't be
(28:37):
shipped here anymore because they're now subject to tariffs. Because
Trump eliminated the loophole which enable you to send a
package worth less than eight hundred dollars to the US
without terraffs. Now all those packages are going to be
tariff and all those goods are no longer as dirt
cheap as they used to be. So America only absorbs about,
(28:57):
you know, one sixth of China's exports, but can consider
that the next largest customer, Vietnam, well accounts for about
four percent. So yeah, they're selling little bits of stuff
here and there around the world, but they will never
be able to make up over the short term the
loss of the American market, and that American market is gone,
China's GDP is going to take a tremendous hit. They're
(29:19):
going to be I estimate twenty million workers out of
a job in China over the next couple months. That
hemorrhaging has already started, it's going to continue. That's on
top of the already high youth unemployment rate. We're about
forty percent, four out of ten of young people from
sixteen to twenty five are unemployed in China. They're going
(29:40):
to be millions of people in China's coastal cities who
don't have jobs and can't afford to live, can't afford
to buy food.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Stephen, my concern. Look, it's just a concern. I'm not
saying anyone's doing anything wrong. What is China do in
response to this? We know they have a totalitarian.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
At the top.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
He doesn't have complete iron clad control, obviously, I've heard
from several people.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
He's afraid of his generals. He's afraid of this.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
China has to respond right, if she can't afford to
just have the economy collapse, they have to do something right.
Speaker 9 (30:18):
Well they do, and I think they're going to be
so caught up in the internal turmoil, the social unrest
that is coming. I mean, we're talking about the fate
of tens of millions of Chinese and consider this that
you know, it's only a matter of time before they
take to the streets demanding what demanding food? I mean,
(30:38):
they're not making a demand for an increase in wages,
for example, they're demanding the right to live, the right
to survive. And look, these people have nowhere else to go.
You know, I spent ten years in age, I spent
many years in China, and I lived in villages. I
lived in small towns. Forty years ago, the people now
(31:00):
out of work could have gone back to the villages.
That's where they came from, that's where their families were.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
They could go back.
Speaker 9 (31:05):
They would have a room, they would have a house,
they could farm in the fields. Twenty years ago, they
could have gone back to the villages, and people in
the villages would have been older now, and some of
the fields would have not been farmed, but they still
could have survived. But this generation was raised by their
grandparents in the villages. Their parents grew up in the cities.
(31:26):
They grew up in the cities, and those villages are
now empty. Those grandparents are now in their seventies and
eighties and dying out. The fields aren't being farmed anymore.
Some of the villages in the marginal areas are completely abandoned.
In other words, they can't go back. There's no place
for them to go back too. They're stuck in the cities.
So there's a huge boat floating population of people in
(31:46):
the cities, and I think, so there's no soft rice
paddy to land on this time, there's no going home.
So yeah, I expect food ryots. And sure you've got
China with the People's Armed Police one point one million
members of something called the People's arm Police. What is
the People's arm Police. Well, it's one million members of
(32:08):
the Chinese military who were transferred into the police force
after the Chinaman demonstrations of thirty some years ago. These
are military units. They have tanks, they have armored personnel carriers,
they have heavy artillery, and they're there specifically to make
sure there's not a rebellion against the Chinese Communist Party.
(32:29):
But I think there's going to be turmoil in China.
And here, what do we do. Well, you know, we
may be paying a little more for goods from China,
which most of us can afford to do, and we
can do without the extra brands of Christmas lights or
the trampoline for the kids to jump in. But in
China we're talking about literally a life and death situation
(32:50):
with millions of people going to bed hungry every night,
and there's a real possibility first time since the nineteen
sixties of a famine. China can feed itself. China imports
a third of all the grain that the people eat
every year, the soybeans, the corn, all of the other grains.
They can't grow enough food to feed their own people.
(33:10):
So I'm thinking, and actually I'm hoping, that that Shijan Ping,
the leader of China and the Chinese Communist Party, will
be so caught up dealing with the internal turmoil and
trying to prevent the complete collapse of the economy that
they won't engage in any foreign adventures. But it's going
to be a close run thing, because what's the best
(33:33):
way to distract your people from the fact that they
have hungry bellies and they're having to tighten their belts. Well,
engaging in a little foreign war will sometimes do that.
China has already. Chinese people have already been told by
Sijan Ping, the leader of the Communist Party, that they
must be prepared to eat bitterness suir ku in the
(33:55):
Chinese phrase eat bitterness. That means prepared for hard times.
And that doesn't mean just kipping a meal. In China,
that means that hard times you may starve to death.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Wow, China has They've had a femin or two in
the past. Steven, thank you so much. I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Sir very much.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
That's good, right, But I think the same thing you think,
there's going to be a response an economy of country
that size and not just going to collapse without a fight.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
I love sleeping.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I sleep good all the time I looked I'm a
natural sleeper. But as somebody who is a natural sleeper,
I've always had to be very careful when I take
something to sleep, because I have my moments where I've
had too much caffeine or the day was too stressful.
If I take really anything, anything I've ever taken my
entire life, I'll sleep forever, and then I'll wake up
(34:54):
and I'll feel who were horrible? Every single time I
wake up, and I want to die. That's why love
dream powder from Beam so much. I feel good, I
feel rested, not droggy. That's because it's natural. You see,
it's a cup of hot chocolate, which is delicious. I
love hot chocolate anyway, but it's natural. It as melatonin
and rachie and all kinds.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Of things in it.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
It'll put you to sleep, You'll stay asleep, and you
wake up feeling rested. Go to shopbeam dot com slash

Speaker 10 (35:39):
Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity,
He had a sharpness to him. You said that up
until July of last year.
Speaker 11 (35:48):
I said what I believe to be true.
Speaker 10 (35:50):
And do you think he was as sharp as you?
Speaker 11 (35:56):
I said, I had not seen to climb, and I
hadn't at that point.
Speaker 10 (36:03):
You did not see any decline from twenty twenty four
Joe Biden to twenty twenty one Joe Biden when I.
Speaker 11 (36:08):
Said that, you know what the thing is heat? Look,
he was sharp, he was on his feet. I saw
him live event. I had meetings with him a couple
of times.
Speaker 10 (36:23):
Senator on his feet is not praise. He can speak
in sentences is not praise.
Speaker 11 (36:31):
Fair enough, fair enough?
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Oh, So I have this theory.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Joining me now, John Phillips, host of The John Phillips Show,
which is now live on the Wonderful KSFO in San Francisco. John, So,
I have this theory about politicians because I always encourage
people to run for office, and I tell them there's
a time limit.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
The second you get elected.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
It will slowly but surely eat away at your soul
the longer you're there, and eventually you're just you're Elizabeth Warren,
where you'll just tell these brazen lies without without hesitation
at all, that slowly you'll become no longer human.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 9 (37:14):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (37:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (37:14):
And I love the way that she was looking at him,
because she looked like a parent who is lying.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
To their kid. Yeah, you're going to the dentist, but
it's not going to hurt. Just trust. Beyond this one.
Speaker 6 (37:25):
Where you could tell that she was being only as
honest as she had to be to get the result
that she wanted. But what you saw there, I think,
more than anything, was an indictment of the media. How
is it that Elizabeth Warren and the rest of them
have been lying to us for years and years and
years about his mental acuity and she doesn't get asked
(37:49):
about it until she's at the floral shop there and
suddenly it's surprised. You have to explain away something that
all of us know isn't true. And it was a lie.
It was a complete lie where we were watching him
falling up the stairs on television on a daily basis,
talking to dead people, yet in private when he's meeting
(38:09):
with these Democrats. He's putting together Rubik's cubes and doing
advanced calculus for a party that has been going on
and on and on about the threat to democracy. Think
about this for a second. They lied to us for
four years about a demented person who could hide his
own Easter eggs being in charge of the government when
(38:30):
an unelected, unknown body of people were actually calling the shots,
and they never got straight with us about who it
was that was making the decisions for the last four years.
How in the world is that democracy?
Speaker 11 (38:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Are the American people angry about that aspect of it?
Speaker 2 (38:54):
John?
Speaker 1 (38:54):
I mean angry at Democrats about the fact that the
president of the United States of Amyria wasn't functional. I
know the American people rejected an open border. I know
they were upset about inflation, and these were the big
issues that carried Donald Trump into the White House. But
I still, honestly, I laughed when we just put up
that video of Joe Biden speaking. But I'm still angry
(39:15):
about it. I still laugh about it, and I'm still
angry that our country was led by that person for
four years.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Are the American people angry about it?
Speaker 6 (39:25):
Whatever a party loses an election. There's always a million
different factors that go into it. It's usually not one
thing that causes you to win or to lose. And
Kamala Harris was one of the ones who was in
those closed door rooms with Joe Biden and saw his
current condition and lied to us about it on a
regular basis. And I think the fact that everyone understood
(39:48):
that she had to be aware of this and lied
to us about it played a role in people thinking
that she was not authentically true during the campaign, which
I think was one of her time problems. She couldn't
answer her question and we didn't really know who this
person was who wanted to be president. Because she's on
both sides of every issue, She's saying things that we
(40:09):
know to be factually false, and I think that that
ultimately ended up being her biggest problem, and lying to
us about the condition of Joe Biden played a role.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
In that.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
What's she going to do now?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Obviously the rumors are flying she's running for governor, that
she may run back for president, but John all these
problems remain. It's not as if Kamala Harris has been
sitting around doing a bunch of heavy reading, getting boning
up on the issues and things like that that you
don't change when.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
You're sixty years old. She is what she's been.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
She's not going to have any success, certainly not running
for president.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Where's she go.
Speaker 6 (40:50):
She doesn't think she's the reason that she lost. I'm
sure she blames Joe Biden, you're not getting out earlier.
I'm sure she blames the Democratic Party people like Nancy
Pelosi and Jim Carville for winning an open convention. So
she doesn't look in the mirror and say, Okay, you're
the problem. She doesn't want to go out of politics
as a loser, and that's what she is right now.
(41:12):
She lost to Donald Trump, and there's a lot of
Democrats out there who harbor resentment towards her because of it.
So she needs to do something so that her Wikipedia
page doesn't say the flast act was her losing to
Donald Trump. So she can do a couple of different things.
She can run for president again, which she might do,
(41:34):
in which case she might lose the Democratic primary, and
then she goes out a double loser, someone who couldn't
win when it was handed to her, and someone couldn't
win a Democratic primary for a second time after being
a sitting vice president that would be horrible. Or she
could find an office that she thinks is attainable, get
(41:54):
elected to that and say, Okay, I may have lost
to Donald Trump, but I was a two term governor
of California. The problem for that is that being governor
of California is not an easy task, especially right now
where we're in crisis, whether it comes to insurance or homelessness,
or crime, or the budget or fire mitigation or water whatever.
Speaker 4 (42:18):
We need someone who's fully.
Speaker 6 (42:20):
Engaged, who's been thinking about these things for a while,
who has some kind of idea as to what they
will do to solve these problems. We don't need another
absentee landlord. If she were to run for California governor
and she has no ideas, it's going to be a
brutal campaign because that's going to be pointed out at
(42:41):
various times on the campaign trail, and she's going to
look foolish. If her name idea is enough to get
her elected, she's going to be elected to an office
that is a full time job, plus where she doesn't
even have interest in the subject matter that she'll have
to deal with, let alone some kind of background in
(43:01):
solving those problems. So I think that's a minefield for
her too. I don't think there are any good options
in elected office for Kamala Harris right now.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Well, how is she going to face any kind of
scrutiny from the California media when she never has before?
Do they have a new bell of the ball and
the Democrat Party out there?
Speaker 6 (43:24):
If the Democratic candidates think she has no viability in
the future to be president, then she can't punish them.
And if she can't punish them, then it's like you're
playing in the NFL and the defense lin lines up
offside and you have a free play. So they might
be a little bit more aggressive with her than you're
(43:45):
expecting them to be.
Speaker 4 (43:47):
Also, keep in mind who's in this field.
Speaker 6 (43:50):
You have a lady Canolacus, who's the Lieutenant governor, who
is a billionaire. She's from one of the top ten
richest families in California, so if she wants to go
sports to Earth, she has the resources to really go
scorts to Earth. And the other one is Katie Porter,
who every one of the Democratic Party hates. She ran
against their beloved Adam Shift for the US Senate and
(44:13):
got real nasty with him during that campaign lost that
she has nothing to lose, and if Kamala Harris stands
in her way, I have zero doubt that the same
woman who dumped a pot of boiling hot potatoes on
her ex husband's head is willing to slam dunk another
pot of potatoes right on.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
Kamala, Well, you don't want to get in front of
Katie Porker. She will eat you up.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
By the way, you're being pretty hard on California, but
Oakland seems to have things figured out.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
This is their new mayor.
Speaker 12 (44:46):
Our You're calling for a fifty dollars an hour federal
minimum wage. That's seven times the current national minimum wage
of seven to twenty five an hour. Can you explain
how that would be economically sustainable for small businesses? Say
sixty seconds, do the math.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
Just do the math.
Speaker 13 (45:03):
Of course, we had national minimum wages that we need
to raise to a living wage. You're talking about twenty
five dollars. Fine, but I have got to be focused
on what California needs and what the affordability factor is
when we calculate this wage.
Speaker 12 (45:18):
Bisley, thank you, mister Garvey.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
John.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
At some point in time we get the government we deserve.
It's it's hard to feel bad for Oakland at this
point in time.
Speaker 6 (45:28):
Enjoy close your eyes and re listen to that, and
tell me that's not Steve Rkle. You know, she she's
been in Congress for out hitting decades now, and then
suddenly she loses. She came in fourth when she ran
for US Senate and she was going to go out
to lose her and decided, Okay, well I'll find the
(45:49):
next available job that's open, and I'll do that. So
she's going to be in Oakland, where the last mayor
who was just recalled from office is looking at ninety
plus years in prison for correct. Part of her final
days in office was selling the coliseum where the Raiders
and the A's used to play. That deal is now
being called into question. The city's budget depended on that
(46:12):
going through. So if that deal is clawed back, my
guess is Oakland will be bankrupt. The nine to one
to one system doesn't work. The in and out Burger
just shut down a profitable location because they said they
couldn't make sure that their employees and customers were safe.
And now, at almost eighty years of age, she decides
(46:33):
that this is the job that she wants to take on.
It's going to look like the day after the end
of the world by the time she leaves office, and
it kind of already does.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Now. Oh oh gosh, so Oakland's gonna get worse.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
That's just amazing to me. God, John, thank you, my friend.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
As always, all right, it's time to lighten the mood.
And I do, I do enjoy, I enjoy Randy Winegarden.
(47:13):
She's known as Communist John Denver on this show. I
enjoy her because her lack of self awareness creates entertainment
for you, in entertainment for me. For instance, she's not
a good speaker by any stretch of the imagination voice.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
It's it's so much.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
Yet because of her role, she just does speeches all
the time, and she goes on television shows all the time.
And she went on with Martha McCallum and she called her, sweetheart,
that was a mistake.
Speaker 11 (47:45):
You have actually very Martha, sweetheart, sweetheart listened to me,
she does, I'm sorry, my bad.
Speaker 9 (47:54):
It actually does.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
Matter, said good naw. But now a stable mm hmmm,
m
Speaker 9 (48:09):
M h m hmm.
