Speaker 2 (00:16):
Fascist nonsense.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
In the movie The Princess Bride, Nigo Montoya, you Merry
had that phrase. This says, I don't think that word
means what you think it means. Well again, knew he
was talking about inconceivable at that point in time.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
I got to be honest with you.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
These people in the media and these these well again,
I think most of the country, I don't think that
they understand what fascism is, what fascism means, what being
a fascist is. It's a scary word. That's it to people.
The idea, the idea that Donald Trump winning the presidency

(00:59):
is he's and he's a fascist, or he's saying fascist.
I don't know where people get this. Well again again,
it's it's ignorance. Quite frankly, I would suggest, why don't
you see why don't you take a look at Mussolini's
rise to power, how he came to power in Italy,
how he ended up becoming prime minister. It was through violence.

(01:21):
It was through violence, and then the King of Italy
appointed him prime minister and away we go. Take a
look at Hitler's rise to power, how he went about
doing it over time. How do how does one become
a fascist in the United Did you ever think about that?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah? Everything about that is.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Donald Trump could just come into office and just say
I do declare, I do decree give any How many
of his policies, how many things that he wanted to
do that was thwarted when he was president, whether it
be by the courts or he couldn't get Congress to
go along with him. Remember that I do same thing

(02:03):
with Joe Biden. It is it is not an easy
thing to become a dictator in the United States.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
The best way they've we've done it. We've allowed it.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Okay as a people, and we have to do it collectively.
Nine to eleven is a great example. You want a
big power grab, take a look at the Patriot Act
and what the Bush administration managed to do for Washington,
d C. And their power grab post nine eleven and

(02:36):
the type of freedoms that we have willfully given up.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
I even at you know, people, I remember the people on.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
The right, you know, t oh, you know, we need
to be looking at people's emails, and we need to
be looking at search distract all in the name of
protecting democracy.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Right, Sure, calamities.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Anything that that is something where again you can get
the people going and you can get them to do
stupid things where they're going to give up their freedom.
But the reality of the situation is the most fascist
part of our government today. It's the acronym agencies, It's

(03:22):
everything that's within the executive branch of government. You want
the true fascists, they are the bureaucrats that work in Washington, DC,
not the president. The bureaucrats, the people that act as judge,
juror an executioner when it comes to cases.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
That's the most fascist thing that we have going.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Hey, we've made fun of that over the years, talking
about how Congress really doesn't do much outside of hold
ridiculous investigations and hearings and raise money for themselves.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
They don't really legislate.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
They've handed this all over to these agencies that to
me is a hell of a lot more fascist than
anything that Donald Trump is.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
I had to do.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
You put policies forward, if they don't stand the test
of the Constitution, as the president might do from time
to time.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
To take a look, Biden in the student loan stuff,
what were.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Some of the things that uh that that Trump put
in a play that was thwarted, that the uh, the
immigrants coming in from Muslim countries. The courts will decide
on that. This is why we have checks and balances.
When they go throwing right, they said, you're using fascist,
Boogeyman Hitler, boogie Mussolini, all this stuff. You do a

(04:36):
little bit of homework and see how they came to power.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
And if you.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Honestly, I mean honestly in your right mind, you honestly
think that it's possible here in the United States when
one gets elected.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
No, no, that we have.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Too many checks and balances. Watchdog on Wall Street dot
