Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Michael.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
So I was listening to the five o'clock news this morning, and.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
They was talking about.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Government getting involved, sending money to the trade schools and
things like that, which sounds great, But when the government
got involved in college education, it became more expensive. Do
you think I'm worrying too much that government's going to
ruin the trades?

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Not at all. Government money always comes with strings, unless
it's COVID money, in which they're trying to buy votes,
but then that's a string too, they want your vote. Yeah,
I think sending money to trade schools is a horrible
idea because once again, when you start subsidizing something, you

(00:51):
subsidize the tuition, you actually increase the cost of the tuition.
Why do you think college tuition is so high? Not
because of it, well, partly because of inflation, but because
they know that the government's providing all this student loan money,
and so they're getting all the students getting all this money,
so let's jack up the tuition. You don't think that

(01:12):
will happen in trade schools. Of course it won't have
been in trade schools. But I hadn't heard the story
about the money going to the trade schools I get it.
I got to chase that squirrel. Now, eventually I got
to go look that up. Or if you were nice,
you'd send me a link to where you saw that,
so'd save me a little bit of time. In seventeen
twenty two, doctor Benjamin Franklin said that without freedom of thought,

(01:35):
there can be no such thing as wisdom, and no
such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech. You
know what a bugaboo I've got about freedom of speech? Well,
here are five of the most perils political threats to
American liberty and rule of law over the last decade,

(01:57):
in chronological order, and I want them to I want
to do them in chronological order, because it's a great
example of how insidious and how progressive, if you will,
how progressive the left is of you know, give them
an inch and theyw I'll take, you know, four or
five more, and pretty soon they've taken a foot. Then

(02:18):
they've taken a yard, and then actually, you know, they've
gotten all the way there, all the way to hell.
First is the deep state fabrication of the entire Russian
collusion lie, and the purpose of which was to want
to interfere with the first election to Donald Trump, and
then to continue it on when surprise, surprise, he gets

(02:39):
elected and defeats the coronated supposedly going to be coordinated
Queen Hillary Rodham Clinton. So now you've got to continue
the collusion and you've got to continue the lie in
order to undermine the administration. That was the first thing.
Then the second thing, Kurd and that's the book mail

(03:03):
ballot fraud strategy, again an attempt to defeat Trump, and
he comes with all of the intended consequences of mail fraud.
Ballot fraud comes with all of the warped I mean,
you already have the Jerry mannering, which is you know,
isn't it footnote here? Isn't it interesting? How Trump is really?

(03:30):
I mentioned this yesterday, but I'm becoming more and more
convinced of it that while I do believe sincerely that
Trump is like, he does see something like DC and
he does want to clean up the crime. And I
think the turning point for him, the tipping point was
when that doge kid whatever his name was, the nickname

(03:51):
had Big Balls was his nickname, that when he got
beat up trying to protect his partner from a car jacking,
and Trump reads about that in the morning news, or
he's laying in bed at you know, three o'clock in
the morning doing something that he says, oh, you know what,
I'm going to do something about that. I think he

(04:13):
does it out of a genuine concern about the crime.
But I think he thinks much more strategically. And strategically
he's thinking to himself, and what's true in DC is
true in Denver, it's true. In Chicago, it's true. In
la it's true. In New York, it's true. In Detroit,
it's true. In Houston it's true. It's true in Atlanta.

(04:34):
It's true in all of these places. So let me
let me lob this bomb in He's kind of like pigpen.
He just walks around and just he's just lobbing dirt everywhere. Well,
what does that do? That brings the issue to the forefront.
We've talked, We've talked about it for two days. The
national media has been covering it incessantly. Now, of course,

(04:56):
everybody's trying to establish their narrative, everybody's trying to establish
their particular POV about the issue, but nonetheless it's being discussed.
It also does something else that we may not necessarily
see the immediate results in but we will eventually what
is the underlying problem with or cause of not a

(05:19):
cause but maybe well probably a cause and a consequence
of the crime. And that's these prosecutors that don't prosecute,
or the cops that you know, fudge the numbers. It's
all of the corruption, absolute corruption within the system. So

(05:40):
that is now a signal, a permission slip, if you will,
to state legislators, to people running for office, gives them
a platform, gives them a campaign issue for citizens to yeah,
you know what by I am pissed off about that,

(06:01):
and look, he's doing something about it. Why are you
doing something about it? He finds these issues that resonate
with Americans and then blows it up in their faces
and then steps aside because he's done his job. Oh
he'll deploy the National Guard and then they'll start doing stuff,

(06:22):
and clearly it will. I think the more patrols you have,
clearly the less crime you're going to have, because well,
the criminals don't rob. The burglars don't come to your house.
If they see burglar alarms, they see the sign out front,
they see the lights on the side, they see every
sign that oh I don't want to go there, but

(06:43):
your neighbor next door that says, you know, you know,
guns are dangerous and this is a gun for his own.
And all the lights are off and you're tucked in
your bed without any sort of way to defend yourself.
That's where the burglar goes. The burglar doesn't go rob
the house that looks like it might be a problem.
They take the easy way out. And the same as

(07:04):
with these teenage thugs in DC. They don't see any
cops on the streets. So yeah, let's go roam in
the streets and let's go do a smash and grab.
And by the way, even if we get cod don't
worry about it because we'll be out in the day
or less, and then you know who cares. So the
bulk mail ballot fraud strategy was another attack on free speech,

(07:28):
freedom of association, everything about the first Amendment, and then
third would be the air quotes here election of the
Biden Harris administration because those failures domestic and foreign policy
were colossal. They actually rival and in many cases exceed

(07:49):
I didn't think Barack Obama could ever be beat, but
you know, records are made to be broken, and I
think they really did beat many of Barack Obama's dismal
records of what he did to the country. The fourth,
now we've had Russian collusion, the Russian collusion continuing into
the Trump administration resulting in those impeachments, the book, mail

(08:13):
ballot fraud strategy, all the domestic policy failures of the
Biden Harris administration. And then fourth goes back to Biden
also the continuation and I have to throw Trump into
part of this, and that is the chicom virus pandemic
and giving the keys to control the entire US economy

(08:37):
to Anthony Fauci, who, oh, I never ordered any shutdowns, No,
but you recommended it. So Biden took that and just
absolutely decimated the country and along with the entire world.
And then last, but not least, obviously number five be

(09:00):
the systemic redlining of free speech by Biden and all
of the people in the kabal and including social media
over the last five years in order to advance their
leftist agenda. And they built them all of those previous things.
Russian collusion. Oh, if you question that you got d platformed.

(09:20):
If you question mail ballotsery, you question the election, you
got d platformed. If you question almost anything about the
Biden administration, you get deplatformed. And certainly if you question
anything about sarsg V two, you got de platformed. And
then the cabal moves in doing that redlining, doing that deplatforming,

(09:45):
all an attempt to make certain that any drive by
consumer of news was hearing and seeing and then therefore
believing the narrative that was being spoon fed to them.
There's a common denominator in every single one of those
political threats, and that was the utter disregard for the
First Amendment and its assurance of free speech. That is

(10:08):
the democrats primary strategy for controlling public opinion in order
to try to perpetuate their political dynasty. That I think
that is. I think there are two types of hatred
for Donald Trump, two variants of Trump Derangement syndrome, like

(10:33):
different variants of SARSKOV two. There is him personally. They
don't like everything from his hair to his dress, his suits,
his ties, ties are too long, they're always red to
his you know, somewhat elevated shoes, to the way he talks,

(10:58):
the way he you know, does that funny smile, and
everything about him physically they despise, and then all of
his policies they despise, and that feeds into their Trump
arrangement syndrome. The and and it's all because it will

(11:24):
take Texas. I don't want to dive into Texas here,
but the whole Texas controversy is that they see texts.
The Democrats the cabal see Republicans legitimately wanting to read
district Texas and regain the population that was undercounted, but
they see that as a threat to their jerymen. The

(11:46):
Democrats see that is a threat to their jerrymandering, and
that feeds into their Trump Arrangement syndrome because Trump's encourages
them to do that. Hey, you ought to do this,
and Greg abb greg Abbott, seeing that, oh the President
isn't it, is okay with this. I'm going to jump
on this and do this. So the Republicans in the
Texas legislature decide, yeah, you know what, we are going

(12:09):
to rightfully claim what is ours. Now. I know many
of you disagree with that, but that's, in my opinion,
that's exactly what they're doing. And the threat is to
the Democrats, and they're jerrymandering have you noticed that there's
no accusation of jerry mandering by the Texas legislature. Their
real objection is, Oh, you're just doing it out of order.

(12:30):
You're just doing it too soon, you're redistricting too soon.
Not about jerry mannering, just about when they're doing it,
you know. Mark Twain once said, in the response to
newspapers that explained that he had died, that you know,
the report of my death was an exaggeration. Well, the
same can be said for exaggerated reports that the big

(12:52):
tech oligarchs and their social media platforms have stopped suppressing
conservative free speech and the reach of conservative user content.
I see this all the time in my x feed,
where many of the people that we follow each other,
they will oftentimes post, does anybody seen this post? Because

(13:13):
my engagement has gone from you know, hundreds of thousands
down to tens of thousands, or someone like me has
gone from tens of thousands to a couple of thousands. Now,
that may be a function of the algorithm, but again
there's a human being behind that algorithm. So I would
guess that if you don't use a platform like Facebook

(13:36):
or x or Instagram, you might ask yourself, Well, what
difference does it make? Why does it even matter? I
would argue this because Zuckerberg's meta platform, which includes Facebook
and Instagram, is the largest the social media giants. Do
you either, two billion dollar daily users, including more than

(13:58):
two hundred and fifty the million American users in this
country alone. Now, I know not every single American is
using it, but that is most of the American population is,
at one time or another daily on Facebook. And here's
what's changed now, that's where many Americans, the majority of
Americans are getting the news that shapes their views. Now,

(14:24):
to its credit, somewhat qualified a little bit, only one
platform X formally Twitter has absolutely eliminated restrictions on political speech.
When Musk purchased it purchase X or Twitter in twenty
twenty two, he had the state of goal of restoring
free speech to America. And I think we owe him

(14:46):
a debt of gratitude for exposing the free the speech suppression,
if you will, of those racketeers the Twitter files that
Matt Tybee and Michael Schellenberg and I'm sorry I forget
the third one that all dug through the Twitter files
and said, oh yeah, look they actually were conspiring to
suppress free speech. After Musk bought x and expose the

(15:13):
speech suppression racketeers, he said the degree to which Twitter
was simply an arm of the government was not well
understood by the public, and everything was like Prova, basically
a state publication. There was basically oppression of any views
that even I would say would be considered middle of
the road, certainly anything on the right. And I'm not
talking about far right, I'm just talking about mildly right.

(15:34):
So he declared that free speech is the bedrock to democracy.
That's why it's the first amendment. Without free speech, all
is lost. So he thereupon declared himself to be a
free speech absolutist and that the digital town square is
where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.

(15:55):
I kind of agree with that now. According to his
insider analysis, Republicans were suppressed at ten times the rate
that Democrats were, and I think that's because the old
Twitter was completely controlled by the far left. So entrenched
is the culture in those platforms that must recently define

(16:17):
it as something more than Trump derangement syndrome, a metastatic
WoT mind virus, which he defined as a very very
divisive identity politics that amplifies racism, amplifies sexism, and of
all the isms while claiming to do the exact opposite,
he said, I think we need to be very cautious

(16:38):
about anything that is anti meritocratic and anything that results
in the suppression of free speech. So good for him.
But meanwhile, over at meta, Facebook and Instagram, they have
fact checkers still, and while they may no longer be
part of any sort of overt speech suppression strategy, that

(17:02):
does not mean that Facebook does not suppress certain speech.
And if there aren't squads within Meta that are no
longer actively suppressing free speech, the fact is the systemic
suppression is imperceptible unless you operate a conservative page or
you post conservative content. Six months ago, Facebook committed to

(17:30):
free speech. Time to get back to our roots, blah
blah blah blah, all of that. But did he really
know He did not, because many of these conservative pages
are still being suppressed. Brownie. I didn't get Facebook jail.
I got the death sentence.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
They permanently banned me for talking about the ice rights
in California.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Too bad. You can't permanently ban me from your talkbacks.
Why am am I not in the least bit surprised
that he's been permanently banned from Facebook? Yeah, this shocking.
Wouldn't I give anything to see what the post was
that got him banned? Oh lordy, we probably couldn't even

(18:16):
read it on air without so many beeps that we
wouldn't understand what was said. Jimmedy Christmas, and trust us,
you're precisely the kind of goober that we would not ban,
because we love laughing at you. The more depraved the ideology,

(18:40):
then the earlier you must start indoctrinating it for it
to take hold. And this is probably why American kindergarteners
are immersed in transgenderism, immersed in things like migrants. I
use that word deliberately there and why, for example, British

(19:03):
children of the same age are taught to love all
of those migrants savages that get imported from the Third
World so they can cancel the British culture. School children
as young as five. This comes to us from the
Daily Mail. School Children as young as five are being

(19:23):
asked to write Valentine Day Valentine's Day cards to asylum seekers.
Last year, pupils at hundreds of schools across Britain were
asked to quote send messages of love and solidarity on
February fourteen by creating handmade cards with slogans including You're
welcome here and I Love refugee wrights. Stop the Rwanda scheme.

(19:49):
I had look up the Rwanda schime. I wasn't quite
sure what that was. Well, if you go over, I
think I did a Google search. It's known as the
Migration and Economic Development Partnership. That was a policy introduced
by the Tories in twenty twenty two, an attempt in

(20:11):
an attempt to stop England from being transformed into Rwanda
by generously bribing Rwanda stop invading the United Kingdom. That
was held up by the British Supreme Court in twenty
twenty three on the grounds that it violates the human
rights of Rwandans to expect them to stay in Rwanda. Huh,

(20:36):
it's a violation of your human right. Now, let me
make sure you understand this. It's a violation for the
Brits to want Rwandans to stay in Rwanda. So somehow
just not wanting those people to invade your country is

(20:58):
a violation of their human rights. Ergo, everybody has a
human right to go live wherever they want to, regardless
of any laws, regardless of any rules or regulations, regardless
of any sovereignty. Yes, you ever you have, you know,
you apply that to this country. The interpretation would be this,

(21:20):
you have a right. You have an unfettered right to
come to You have an unfettered human right to however
you can get here, to come to the United States
and then live off the teats of the American taxpayer. Wow,
I'd say that's pretty messed up. Then Keir Starmer came
in and he announced the cancelation of the plan. Only

(21:44):
four welfare colonists were sent home under that plan, and
none of them forcibly. In another card, an accompanied poem read,
Roses are red, violence are blue. Refugees are people just
like me and you. And then the children were asked
to cards by Sanctuary of Schools. That's a network in

(22:04):
the United Kingdom, more than twelve hundred primary and secondary schools,
nursery and sixth forms. They hope by leftists. The hope
by the leftists is is it by the time they
realize that they've been brainwashed to embrace their own destruction,
it'll be too late. They'll live in New Rwanda. You

(22:26):
know New York. Yeah, New Amsterdam, New York, New Rwanda.
They are doing injection sites in New York City with
somewhat predictable results. New York Chimney Christmas. This comes to
us from the Post. New York City's controversial taxpayer funded

(22:47):
safe injection site has reached a depraved new low, with
atticts so zonked out they routinely have sex in broad daylight,
often at the doorstep of neighbors forced to endure the
X rated free for all. I guess I was kind
of curious, if you're so zonked out, how can you
have sex? The government back shooting gallery down the block

(23:10):
where addicts are giving clean needles and other paraphernalia to snort,
smoke or inject their drug of choice on site opened
in East Harlem in twenty twenty one, along with the
second location in Washington Heights. Now imagine that communist Zooran Montani.
The city will not resemble a church picnic, because it's

(23:32):
gonna die of liberalism. It's gonna die of that stupidity.
And then I came across and this was part of
my minute this morning. The Denver Post dragging you what
I did yesterday? What do you know what I did?
Yes What were you doing? I care? You'll be shocked,

(23:55):
and I tell you what I did. Okay, I subscribed
to the Denver Post. That is a bit shocked. You
didn't like use your sons for the educational thing you
got that? No, I was trying to realize. I had
seen this story on x so I clicked on the
link to go to it, and it said this is

(24:16):
for subscribers only, so I couldn't access it. Then there
was a pop up window that said flash sale one
year for one dollar. Oh, so I did it. And
then I marked my calendar for a year from yesterday,
actually less than a year from yesterday, to go in

(24:37):
and see if I can retouch cancel the subscription before
it renews at twenty two dollars a month for that
piece of crap? Are you serious? So I'm thinking. So
I marked my calendar for August, like August tenth of
twenty twenty six, to cancel my subscription and then use
a different email address and see if I can redo

(24:58):
it again for a dollar. Huh. So what does that
come out to? That's that's not even ten cents a month.
So eight and a half cents a month for the
Denver compost. I think I'm getting what it's worth. I
think I paid what it's worth. That's funny. Yeah, two
years into buying the motel to over on Peoria out

(25:20):
of I seventy. Monday marked the two year anniversary since
the City and County of Denver paid nine million dollars
for this stay in at twelve thousand and thirty three
East thirty eighth Avenue. Now, if you have homelessness in

(25:40):
your city, if you're listening in Tampa Saint Pete, or
you're listening in Chicago, or you're listening in Los Angeles,
watch out because this is going to happen to you too.
They were going to turn the city in County of
Denver was going to turn this hotel motel into supporting

(26:01):
housing for the homeless. It's a four story motel. It's
still boarded up. It's all been fenced off. The spokesperson
for at Denver's Department of Housing Stability told the Business
Denver Journal that quote, negotiations and due diligence efforts are
underway with a potential development partner that would buy the

(26:26):
property from Denver, who paid nine million dollars two years
ago that they would buy the property from Denver for
ten dollars ten dollars. Tell you what, Denver, I'll give
you twenty dollars for it right now. I'll give you

(26:47):
twenty dollars. In fact, I'll give you a hundred bucks
for it right now. After the program's over, you tell
me here, you go see and I'll drive downtown and
I will pay you one hundred bucks. I'll believe them further,
I'll give you whatever is in my wallet, which I
guarantee us more than one hundred dollars. I'll give you

(27:08):
whatever is in my wallet, and you turn the deed
over to me. Deal. Now here's why I'd be willing
to do that. Later in the story, the former stay
in was renovated to include kitchenets and a new sprinkler
system by the previous owner, who told the Business Denver

(27:28):
Journal that when the sale closed in twenty twenty three,
that quote, people could have been living here years ago.
So I'll just start participating in the homeless industrial complex
for whatever's in my pocket. Because they're willing to sell
to somebody else for ten dollars, I'm willing to give
them I don't know, three or four hundred dollars for
the same piece of crap. And I'll actually use it

(27:50):
as a cheap motel for weary travelers that are just
trying to find a cheap place to stay. And I'll
hire security guards and I'll and trust me, buying it
for five hundred dollars, and even with security guards and
you've already renovated it, I'll make a profit. Mike, here's
my Valentine's card to asylum seekers. Kiss my asylum seeker.

(28:15):
That's pretty good. That's pretty good. I want to assure
you those who are worried because I have a text
message forty seven forty five Michael, please don't fall for
what the Denver Post says. We have to subscribe because
my ninety nine year old dad insists we get Wednesday
and Sunday fifty five dollars a month. Wow, that's crazy.

(28:40):
Wednesday and Sunday you pay fifty five dollars a month. Yes,
you continue nauseating. Did you read the tiny print? Oh yes,
I triple check the fine print because I wanted to
make sure that I wasn't, you know, buying one of
those things, were you know, one month free no, it
is a flash sale, and I read I read the

(29:01):
fine print. It automatically renews after twelve months one year,
so that's why I marked my calendar for next August
to cancel. And of course it's also has a cancelation
any time provision too, so even if I somehow misread it,
which I did not, I could still cancel it. But
here's the thing, here's the thing. Well, what Biden, you

(29:24):
say that here's the thing? You know the thing? You
know the thing, so you know the thing. I don't
use it because I agree with the stories or that
I think the stories are objective. I use it because
they print stupid stuff like that story I just told

(29:45):
you about the hotel that that city and County at
Denver both they they they print that as if that's
a perfectly reasonable thing to do to pay nine million
dollars two years ago sit on it while it's already
been remodeled from the previous owner. So for two years
it's just been boarded up, sitting there, deteriorating, probably not

(30:07):
being maintained. And now they're trying to find some developer
to come in, and they'll sell it to a developer
for ten dollars and nobody there's like that. Okay, well
that's no big deal. I think it's a huge deal.
I think it shows you exactly how stupid city and
County of Denver is a Seriously, I'll give you all

(30:30):
the money in my wallet right now, which I'm going
to guess is at least four or five hundred dollars.
All right, that's better than the ten dollars you're asking
for now. I'm not going to put homeless people in it, Nope.
And I'll immediately hire the entire security team to show
you just how well I don't have time for this.

(30:51):
Here's a woman who has spent millions of dollars to
reduce her waste to eighteen inches. The model's inners have
been twisted out of place because of her corset obsession.
She wears a corset twenty three hours a day, takes
it off for one hour a day to shower and
get dressed, and you people think I'm stupid. Good grief,
