Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello, I'm you happy people.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Neil Smith and old Buck Buddy. Are you hearing Neil?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Neil?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I miss you, Mannes, I have a question.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
We respect for me downs breaking a major story, Chris, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
A single score podcast, folks.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I'm so proud of my conservative brethren last week, the
way they handled that that shooting in Minnesota, the tragic
shooting that ended up killing two young children as they
prayed in mass at a Catholic church. They did a
fantastic job across all of media about hitting the points
about the mental disorder that is being affirmed with these
(01:05):
trans people. This is not an isolated incident. This is
being done intentionally. And I came up with some rather
controversial truisms. I mean, they're all true, but just because
it's controversial doesn't mean that the information isn't true. It is.
Sometimes the reason why it's quote unquote controversial is because
(01:26):
it's true. You can't say true things because you know,
people get butt hurt. And the people that were getting
butt hurt about the truth are leftists. And I pointed
some things out that are data driven, and the left
wing just hates it. So while my conservative brethren did
a great job about coming up with the idea that hey,
(01:49):
if you affirm mental illness instead of treating it, you're
the problem. I went a different direction and came up
with a preamble that I did last week on Newsmax.
Here's how it went. As stated, my caring, loving, and
common sense conservative brethren have done a fantastic job at
showing how the violent leftist trans movements, affirming the left's word,
(02:11):
not mine, affirming of mental illness instead of treating it,
is leading to innocent Americans. Yes, children being slaughtered. I
don't need to rehash that, so let me start where
few have gone, the many faces of left wing evil.
That's my focus in today's preamble. Fifteen years ago, folks,
there was no trans community. It didn't exist. And here's
(02:35):
the dirty little secret, it still doesn't exist. The trans
community is a false construct of the Democrat Party. They
created it so they could have another issue to divide
our country in an effort to achieve political success. Don't
believe me, here's the data. Approximately two percent of gen
Z born between nineteen ninety seven and two thousand and
(02:57):
four identify as transgender. This is significantly higher compared to
previous generations. One percent of millennials, point three percent of
gen X and point two percent of the baby boomers.
Are we to believe that it's simply by magic that
we have seen a nearly ten times increase in trans
(03:17):
since gen X? Is it some plague born on the wind? No,
the increased trans identification is as a result of a
concerted propaganda campaign by leftists and major media companies and
in the Democrats Socialist Party. They needed an issue and
they were willing to sacrifice their own children, your children
(03:39):
to get it. In reality, according to the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth Edition, gender dysphoria prevalence
accounts four point zero zero five to point zero one
four percent of the population for males and point zero
two to point our zero zero two point zero zero
(03:59):
three for females. The rest who identify as trans are
confused transvestites, corrupted by left wing Karens who wish to
get accolades for sacrificing their children on the altar of
left wing extremism in a grotesque display of Munchausen syndrome
by proxy. What kind of people would do this to
(04:20):
their own children and other people's children? Satanic leftists. Let's
start with a biased and disgusting left wing press. As
I told you yesterday, the hate field trans shooter in Minneapolis,
like so many before him, hated God, hated Christianity, and
hated President Trump and his efforts to restore the nation's
(04:40):
common sense spiritual underpinnings. On one of the AMMO magazines
that fed his legally purchased weapons, the left wing man
who was identified as the shooter wrote, quote kill Donald Trump.
Here's how. ABC Fake News reported that.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Twenty three year old Robin Westman was able to lead
what police called a video manifesto that they're now going
through to try and establish motive. We've also been going
through it and can tell you there are crude diagrams
of the church. There are also photos of the weapons,
and they include all sorts of writings, the names of
(05:19):
past mass shooters, criticism of Israel, the name of President Trump.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Right, it was Trump's name. Now, to watchers of ABC
fake News, they were led to believe that the shooter
was mega in the wake of two assassination attempts against
President Trump. There is no excuse for why ABC fake
News would admit the fact that the left wing nutcase wrote,
quote kill Donald Trump unless ABC fake news was running
(05:49):
cover again for the violent left in this country. Pure evil.
Not to be out done fake news, CNN wanted to
show they respect did the shooter who just murdered innocent
Catholic children as those children prayed to God.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
There's another piece of the puzzle as to who the
shooter was in Minneapolis, Star Rebuting says, according to court records,
because there's been some confusion about what the shooter's name was, Yes,
Robin Westman's mother applied to change your child's name in
twenty nineteen. It was at one point Robert Paul Westman.
But since she identifies as a female and wants your
(06:26):
name to reflect that identification was underage, it's now Robin Westman.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yeah, respect the pronouns. That's right, CNN. They continue to
affirm mental illness rather than treat it, so the carnage
would continue and the Democrat crazies could continue to divide
this country, leaving the bodies of our children in their wake.
Of course, speaking of those left wing nutjobs, here's the
mayor of Minneapolis, a man who cried at the casket
(06:51):
of a career criminal by the name of George Floyd.
Here's Jacob Fry not crying over dead Christian children. Knew,
but he's worried about the fake trans community that left
Winger is created out of thin air.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I have heard about a whole lot of hate that's
being directed at our trans community. Anybody who is using
this as a using this as an opportunity to villainize
our trans community or any other community out there, has
lost their.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Sense of common commandity.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yeah, how much love was shown to our kids by
one of these so called trans people that you and
your leftist kind wound up and set loose under our country,
Mister Mayor, the Minneapolis mayor there, even with the bodies
of dead Catholic children from a monster of the Democrat's
own creation, still fights to keep the scam going while
(07:47):
ignoring the suffering he and his Democrats are imposing on
this country. The only hate Americacies is from the leftist
operatives who have been filled with hate by Democrats. They
hate Trump, they hate Christians, they hate Jews, they hate
America just like the Democrats taught them. These evil disciples
of the Democrats are celebrating another attack on a Catholic
(08:10):
church online. Their role models, of course, the Obama and
Biden regimes that weaponized our government against the Catholic Church
and people of faith. Here's accused domestic abuser, the Attorney
General of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, saying that Democrats will pledge
to keep affirming mental illness and stop all attempts by
(08:31):
President Trump to protect our people. Dude forty four times,
and we'll assue them.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Forty four more and forty four.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
More after that.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And we have sued them for gender affirming care.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yes, we are not going to scapegoad our transgender community.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
And we have.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
Sued them to stand up for medical research.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Affirming.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
There's that word again, Keith Ellison, committed to carnage folks.
Democrats continuing the lie that is the trans community all
for their hate feel Democrat political power. And that leads
me to the Press secretary for Barack Obama and President
Auto Pen who was running things for the last four
years as Joe Biden was mentally and physically compromised. Here's
(09:18):
what Solisaki had to say in the wake of another
left wing creation acting on Democrat hate quote.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings.
Prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids
to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back enough
with the thoughts in prayers.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
End quote and circle back. Saki brings me full circle.
Remember I told you about the writings and the video
of the trans shooter in Minneapolis. They were filled with
hate of Trump, hate for our country, hate for Jews,
hate for Christians, hate for Jesus Christ, hate for God.
(10:00):
Is he any different than the violent leftists that have
been fire bombing churches? Is he any different than Democrats
who have warped young minds? The minds of our young people.
The Minneapolis shooter was a mirror for the violent, hate
filled Marxist Democrats in our society, the political party of death.
(10:22):
As for Jensaki, the finest that MSNBS has to offer.
I say this, if you ever wanted to see an
agent of evil up close, just look at Jensaki or
the Democrats she represents. She had her kind are why
Christians are once again under attack. The regimes she worked for,
weaponized government against Catholics, and now after two more precious
(10:47):
Catholic children of God have been savagely taken from us
by a mentally deranged creation of the Democrats. She mocks
our prayers to the Almighty, to Jensaki and all of
you left us out there. I pray to God that
americ will drive you Democrats out of power to stop
your policies and venom from killing us. You Democrats fight
(11:10):
to keep crime plaguing our cities. You democrats fight to
affirm mental illness rather than treat it. You and your
wretched kind had better learn to pray, because only God,
your creator, can save the likes of you. We conservatives
have more than one way to skin a leftist cat,
and I think that's the genesis of the next conversation
(11:31):
I'm going to have on the Salceado Storm podcast. And
now a word from my sponsors. Oh jeez, if I
hear another Obamacare commercial telling me how great it is,
I think I'm going to vomit. In reality, folks are
paying out the nose for crappy insurance, meaning those commercials
are just as much bs as Obamacare is. What if
you're under sixty five? Ineede quality affordable health coverage. American
Medical Plan specializes in under sixty five health insurance plans
(11:54):
that have zero copays at the doctor and no deductible
on all outpatient services, including surgeries. You pick your doctors
and hospitals. There are private plans and roll any time,
and there are thirty to sixty percent less than Obamacare.
If you're paying too much for your own health insurance,
call American medical plans. They are the answer to the
cancer that is Obamacare.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
As you all know, I am no longer a believer
in the two party system. I believe the two party
system has failed because there is not an adversarial position
between the two political parties. Now they're colluding and they're
colluding against us. That is my opinion. I just put
out an eighty sixth Federalist paper the other day, which,
(15:32):
by the way, I'm working on getting published. As soon
as it is, i'll let you know where it goes.
But I did a preamble. You can find it on Newsmax,
and the preamble states this that the dangers of a
political party, a political system where the parties agree, a
non adversarial political party system, I believe it. It disadvantages our
(15:58):
people because the Constitution was set up with checks and balances.
Having our government at odds with itself, so it leaves
us alone. We needed to have that reflected in our
political process, and it's not. They're colluding and they're colluding
against us. John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell, Chuck tumor Nancy Pelosi.
(16:22):
They're all in on it, and we are the unlucky
beneficiaries of that. Sad to say, now, there are some
other conservatives out there, folks thinking in certain different directions,
maybe along the same line, maybe taking different takes on
the set of facts that were presented. And one individual
reached out to me. His name is Blake Fisher. He's
(16:44):
up a policy first conservative. Kind of interesting. I consider
myself a constitutional conservative. He's a policy first conservative, host
of The Homeless Conservative, a show that turns political noise
into plain English. He's disillusioned with the modern GPS, personality
cults and big government populism. He argues for principles over personalities,
(17:06):
grounded in history, data, and the Constitution. Mister Fisher, welcome, thanks,
thanks for having me pleasures all mine. So, as a
constitutional conservative that I am, I have to say I
have no political party that represents me to date, only
the America First coalition that comes that comes close President
Trump's coalition. How do you How do you read the
(17:29):
current political landscape from your.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Point of view?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I mean, I feel similarly in that we're not following
the Constitution. I think if we did, I mean, we
would be a lot better off. I think that's where
all of our problems to stem from is mostly that
Congress has abdicated all of their the whole like coequal
branches of government thing I think is bs that was
started by presidents like Nixon. It's very clear that the
(17:55):
Constitution laid out that Congress has more power than the
other branches. Indeed, they're the ones that can fire the
other branches of government. They're the only ones that can
have the power of the purse. I think all of
our problems essentially stem from the last centuries worth of
presidents trying to take that power the executive branch, trying
to take that power away from Congress, and then Congress
(18:16):
willingly giving that power to the executive branch. I think
that while I agree with your sentiment that the parties
are I don't so much think that they're the same.
I just think that I think they are adversarial against
each other. I think the problem is they're not adversarial
against themselves. It's their own party is in the executive branch.
(18:38):
So basically every Congress is just saying whatever goes as
long as the guy in the White House has the
same letter after his name that we have. And I
think that's really where we need. Adversarial back and forth
is between the branches of government. That's how we the
checks and balances don't work. If Congress doesn't do that
to people in their own party, and so we've seemed
(18:59):
Themmocrats do this with Biden. I think if Democrats really
wanted to show that they were going to change as
a party after their twenty twenty four election defeats, they
would have impeached Biden for his preemptive pardons that he
gave out. I think those were clearly it's like within
obviously his constitutional powers, except that I think Congress has
the right to go, guess what, we can impeach you
(19:21):
for anything we want to. And we think that's a
step too far. We don't think that's righting wrongs. We
think that is a different thing entirely. And if Democrats
really were serious about that, the Democratic controlled Congress in
December would have said, no, that's a step too far.
But they won't do that. And I think that you've
got a similar situation with Republicans and not just Trump.
(19:42):
But I mean, this is a problem with Trump that
they will never go against them. But yeah, I mean
it's been a problem going on for a century. This
is not I think often way too often. I'm not
a big Trump guy personally, but I think way too
often we say everything is different with Trump, and it's
really not like Trump was like maybe the most egregious
(20:03):
version of some of these things. But like this stuff
has been going on first century. It goes all the
way back to Woodrow Wilson.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Well, I mean, look, I would on your point about
the political parties, I don't believe they're they're at all different.
That's the problem, because I'll give you an example, massive
uncontrolled illegal immigration. The Republicans say they opposed it, but
all their quote opposition didn't result in one illegal alien
being kept out of my country. The Republicans claim that
(20:32):
they oppose massive government overspending, but guess what, we're at
thirty seven trillion dollars in counting. Nobody wants to be
fiscally responsible. They all get together, they shake the hands
and say everybody gets everything. Nobody says no, no responsible government.
And I believe that's that's collusion on a level. The
disadvantages we the people. As you heard me say, I
(20:55):
don't believe in the two party system anymore. Where are you.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I don't think the two party systems can be changed.
It's not that I think it's the right system. I
think it's just the system that's inevitably gonna It's inevitably
going to be the system that happens with our constitution
set up. I think the problem really is that the power,
like the parties don't have any power anymore, and I
think they should go like have a little power. I
(21:20):
think the one thing that we again, good intentions don't
really matter when the results are bad. And I think
the intentions of the campaign finance reform that happened in
the early two thousands was well intentioned, but what it
did was took all of the money out of parties
and gave it to super PACs and individual domation to cands.
(21:42):
So what that means is that you have on both
sides on Democrats in Republicans, you have someone like AOC
that can beat the number three Democrat in the House
in a primary and doesn't even really consider herself a Democrat,
she considers herself a Democratic Socialist. Or Bernie Sanders almost
gets the not Nation in twenty sixteen against Turley Clinton.
If the party's actually had all the power that people
(22:05):
claim they have, they would not let people like Donald
Trump and Bernie Sanders, who don't even claim to be
members of the party run for that Party's nomination for
president because they don't have the power. The power is
now with singles.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Well, no, that's a that's a fair point. That's a
fair point. And I would say the reason why President
Trump was able to swoop in and take over the
Republican Party was because the Republican Party was so naval
gazing so as as mentioned, completely ineffective at stopping the
downhill slide of left wing extremism in this country, completely incompetent,
(22:37):
completely inept, and President Trump, in my opinion, showing the
only backbone the Republican Party has had in recent decades.
Folks were talking to Blake Fisher, he is the homeless Conservative,
and it was that name that really really actually inspired
me to invite him out of the program Where are
you on socialism? Communism? And collect to his thought in general, I.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Think one thing that our side does too much of
is label everything we don't like socialism communism. And I
think that there's like certainly that like, like what's happening
in New York right now, Like that guy is a
communist trust that's going to be the mayor of New
York City right He's he's dialed it back to democratic socialism.
But I mean just a well, let.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Me, let me, let me drill down, hold on, and
then let me just drill down. Because when i'm when
i'm when I'm after is is our children? Courtesy of Gov.
Ed again another section of government where the Republicans have
abandoned our people. Letting, letting leftists and government educate our
children the worst mistake this country ever made. But I'm
but our children are being instructed that, Hey, socialism, communism
(23:42):
is great, man, and if you want to and if
you want fairness, you need communism. I'm just asking you
as a as a an economic system and and that
what devolves the political system that devolves from those economic
systems of communism and socialism. Where are you ideologically and
how do you evo those systems? Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, I mean I think those systems have never worked.
There's literally zero history that they've ever worked. And it's
a farce that they've never been tried. That's the common
thing that comes up when you get into an argument
with someone about this. It's like, well, true, communism's never
been tried. Real socialism has never been tried. It has
been tried, and it resulted in the death of one
hundred million people over the last century, so it has
(24:24):
been tried. It's terrible. I think what bothers me, though,
is that it's a real threat, like real true socialism,
true communism is a real threat. And by a real threat,
I really do mean like it's communism is responsible for
like one hundred million deaths over the last century, whether
that's in China or Soviet Russia, and and so like
it's a real threat that people don't take seriously enough
(24:46):
because frankly, you're right, we're not teaching that history well
enough in school, and so people don't. We have very
very bad history teaching I think in this country is
specifically or even like Civics lessons, and I think that
that's a problem. However, I think we dilute it sometimes
on our side when we call everything communism or socialism,
(25:08):
because eventually people go, well, I don't think that's a
bad thing, you know, and we're conflating a really bad
thing with like a lesser bad thing. And so that's
that's where I like caution us. And it's the same
thing with the other side calling everything fascism. It's like,
fascism is absolutely a threat, but everything that Republicans do
is not fascism. They've called every Republican presidential nominee a
(25:30):
hitler since in my entire life. You know, it's like
we can dial back that rhetoric and actually say what
I mean and actually call out the things that truly are.
Like I said, a guy in New York running for
mayor right now, hell yeah to me, like he believes
in communism.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
To me, when they say I'm a socialist, I tend
to take their word for it. When they say I'm
a communist, I tend to take their damn word for it.
But here comes these these ineffective Republicans like Mitch McConnell
and John Cornyn, stroking their multiple Chin's thought for and saying, oh, well, no,
we really can't deal harshly with our good Democrat friends.
(26:05):
And I say, they're flipping socialists. What's the matter with you?
I have a standard coming into the primaries, and I
want to get your evaluation on them. My standard is this,
I will judge any republic as a conservative, because typically
it's a Republican looking for my vote and my support.
As a conservative, I will judge any Republican on how
(26:26):
effectively they defended me in mind, from Democrats, from leftists,
from socialists, how do you what do you make of
that criteria.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I'm a little more interested on what they proactively do
for me, because I think that, unfortunately, the one thing
the parties are really good at is hyping people up
about hating the other side or at treating evil intentions
to the other sides policies and things like that. And
what I think that gets us is no policy ever.
I mean, this Congress has passed three bills so far
(27:00):
in a second term. It does not appear that they
are interested in doing more. It does not appear that
Donald Trump is interested in them passing more laws than that.
And that's the that's the weird thing where we get
back to the constitutionalism. It's like that is what Congress
is supposed to be doing, and what they're doing instead
is I think that for the most part, look at
last year, we had more Independence vote in the twenty
(27:23):
twenty four election the Democrats. So it's the first year
that intends actually outstripped Democrats. But independence every year in
registrations are both parties are losing people. So I think
that your sentiment is essentially widespread and that people don't
really like the parties. Most people are being motivated by
the by the hate of the other party. That's really
(27:43):
the only thing keeping people in the Republican Party, the
hate for Democrats, and that's really the only people staying
in Democratic Party or people that hate Republicans. I don't
think that can go on forever. I think that eventually,
like if you have a party that has a even
remotely long term kind of wandering in the woods, we
keep thinking. After twenty twelve, I think people thought it
(28:05):
was going to be Republicans for a long time. It wasn't.
They won in twenty sixteen. I think right now Republicans
are getting a little bit too. I don't know. I
feel like they're kind of celebrating the victory of Democrats
are never going to win again. I don't think that's happening.
I think that we're potentially just follying power back and
forth every two to four years. And it's generally not
(28:28):
because the party that's not in power becomes good at
their jobs. It's because the party that it's been power
doesn't do their job well and it's not satisfying the voters.
Where I think we're heading towards is just this kind
of bollying back and forth. Well the press, I'm looking
for someone that has good ideas.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yeah, well yeah, I like good ideas. I like constitutional ideas.
I like ideas that benefit our people, not foreign nationals
or foreign countries or totalitarian regimes or you know, well,
whatever I like, I will like safety, security and the
Constitution enforced. And I don't those Democrats because I dislike them.
(29:03):
I oppose them because of their ideas and their policies,
which is right in your Baileywick. It is their policies,
their anti American, pro criminal policies that I oppose. I mean,
you look around and you see there are real ramifications
for Democrat policies, whether they're leaking classified information like Adam
Schiff has just been found to do. And this is
(29:24):
exactly to your point, I think, Blake. You had Koshpitel,
the FBI director, put out a tweet saying, well, we've
shown this to Congress that all the arrows point back
to Adam shift leaking classified information. Now it's up to Congress.
And I said, whoa hold on a minute, It's not
Congress's job to prosecute crimes. Last time I checked, leaking
(29:45):
classified information is a crime that's up to the Department
of Justice to do, is it not. So it seems
to me that this kicking back these issues that are
violations of the law to entities that are not constitutionally
obligated to handle those those breaches of law are what's
(30:05):
primarily frustrating so many of us in the conservative movement saying, no,
you don't send lawbreakers to Congress to be dealt with,
You send them to the Department of Justice to be prosecuted.
The last thing I have for you, I tell my
audience to measure politicians on how those politicians measure up
to my audience. In other words, if you're an American
(30:27):
citizen and a politician wants your vote, you measure that
politician to how they align with you. It's a different mindset,
which I think I think you might even support because
you say that you're against this cultish of following, whether
it be Barack Hussein Obama or whether it be Trump,
that I tell my audience you are the one that
(30:48):
those politicians are supposed to live up to. What do
you say to that?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Absolutely, I mean I think that's our biggest problem is
that voters are not really acting like they're the ones
in charge. Really, all of my albums, like all of
the constitutional arguments with Congress not doing their jobs, really
boils back to us. Congress has something like a ninety
six ninety seven retention rate. We just we vote people
back in generally because they have the right letter after
(31:15):
their name, not because of their performance that we're basing
it on, not because of anything else. We're playing a
team sport now, and so while Congress has like an
eleven percent approval rating, everyone essentially approves of they are
congressman or their senator and keeps voting them back into office.
And that's really where the problem is when you've got
a ninety six retention rate, and really right now, the
(31:37):
only real danger in Congress is to get primary Democratics.
The only thing really Democrats and Republicans for the most part,
because they're in very safe deats as far as it
being red or blue. But the only danger comes from
possibly being primary. I have whole sorts of problems with
the primary system, but that I don't think work really well,
so not enough people are voting in it. But again
(31:58):
that comes back to us. We are not taking our
job seriously either. In this whole thing, and we look
at that by yeah, we know thirty three percent of
us can't name the three branches of the.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Government, right, can't We can't name our own representatives. We
can't name our own centatives. Right, we get the government
we deserve. It's a fair point, Blake Fisher. Where can
folks find the homeless conservative?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Anywhere? You listen to podcasts? Or on my YouTube channel?
I do a little short, shorter videos there as well,
which is just the homeless conservative should be easy to find.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Roger that, hey man, I appreciated the visit. It's nice
to talk with a fellow conservative and different aspects of
the experience we find ourselves in in these modern day
United States. Thank you, sir. That's going to put a
rap on this Salsato Storm podcast till we visit again.
My friends, remember this, A society's worth is not measured
by how much power is stolen by an out of
control government. We measure a society's worth by how much
(32:53):
power has been reserved for you and me, we the
people you keep fighting for freedom out there, my friends,
Hello, I'm you happy people.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Neil Smith and old Buck Buddy. Are you hearing Neil?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Neil?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I miss you, Mannes, I have a question.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
We respect for me downs breaking a major story, Chris, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
A single score podcast, folks.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I'm so proud of my conservative brethren last week, the
way they handled that that shooting in Minnesota, the tragic
shooting that ended up killing two young children as they
prayed in mass at a Catholic church. They did a
fantastic job across all of media about hitting the points
about the mental disorder that is being affirmed with these
(01:05):
trans people. This is not an isolated incident. This is
being done intentionally. And I came up with some rather
controversial truisms. I mean, they're all true, but just because
it's controversial doesn't mean that the information isn't true. It is.
Sometimes the reason why it's quote unquote controversial is because
(01:26):
it's true. You can't say true things because you know,
people get butt hurt. And the people that were getting
butt hurt about the truth are leftists. And I pointed
some things out that are data driven, and the left
wing just hates it. So while my conservative brethren did
a great job about coming up with the idea that hey,
(01:49):
if you affirm mental illness instead of treating it, you're
the problem. I went a different direction and came up
with a preamble that I did last week on Newsmax.
Here's how it went. As stated, my caring, loving, and
common sense conservative brethren have done a fantastic job at
showing how the violent leftist trans movements, affirming the left's word,
(02:11):
not mine, affirming of mental illness instead of treating it,
is leading to innocent Americans. Yes, children being slaughtered. I
don't need to rehash that, so let me start where
few have gone, the many faces of left wing evil.
That's my focus in today's preamble. Fifteen years ago, folks,
there was no trans community. It didn't exist. And here's
(02:35):
the dirty little secret, it still doesn't exist. The trans
community is a false construct of the Democrat Party. They
created it so they could have another issue to divide
our country in an effort to achieve political success. Don't
believe me, here's the data. Approximately two percent of gen
Z born between nineteen ninety seven and two thousand and
(02:57):
four identify as transgender. This is significantly higher compared to
previous generations. One percent of millennials, point three percent of
gen X and point two percent of the baby boomers.
Are we to believe that it's simply by magic that
we have seen a nearly ten times increase in trans
(03:17):
since gen X? Is it some plague born on the wind? No,
the increased trans identification is as a result of a
concerted propaganda campaign by leftists and major media companies and
in the Democrats Socialist Party. They needed an issue and
they were willing to sacrifice their own children, your children
(03:39):
to get it. In reality, according to the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth Edition, gender dysphoria prevalence
accounts four point zero zero five to point zero one
four percent of the population for males and point zero
two to point our zero zero two point zero zero
(03:59):
three for females. The rest who identify as trans are
confused transvestites, corrupted by left wing Karens who wish to
get accolades for sacrificing their children on the altar of
left wing extremism in a grotesque display of Munchausen syndrome
by proxy. What kind of people would do this to
(04:20):
their own children and other people's children? Satanic leftists. Let's
start with a biased and disgusting left wing press. As
I told you yesterday, the hate field trans shooter in Minneapolis,
like so many before him, hated God, hated Christianity, and
hated President Trump and his efforts to restore the nation's
(04:40):
common sense spiritual underpinnings. On one of the AMMO magazines
that fed his legally purchased weapons, the left wing man
who was identified as the shooter wrote, quote kill Donald Trump.
Here's how. ABC Fake News reported that.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Twenty three year old Robin Westman was able to lead
what police called a video manifesto that they're now going
through to try and establish motive. We've also been going
through it and can tell you there are crude diagrams
of the church. There are also photos of the weapons,
and they include all sorts of writings, the names of
(05:19):
past mass shooters, criticism of Israel, the name of President Trump.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Right, it was Trump's name. Now, to watchers of ABC
fake News, they were led to believe that the shooter
was mega in the wake of two assassination attempts against
President Trump. There is no excuse for why ABC fake
News would admit the fact that the left wing nutcase wrote,
quote kill Donald Trump unless ABC fake news was running
(05:49):
cover again for the violent left in this country. Pure evil.
Not to be out done fake news, CNN wanted to
show they respect did the shooter who just murdered innocent
Catholic children as those children prayed to God.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
There's another piece of the puzzle as to who the
shooter was in Minneapolis, Star Rebuting says, according to court records,
because there's been some confusion about what the shooter's name was, Yes,
Robin Westman's mother applied to change your child's name in
twenty nineteen. It was at one point Robert Paul Westman.
But since she identifies as a female and wants your
(06:26):
name to reflect that identification was underage, it's now Robin Westman.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yeah, respect the pronouns. That's right, CNN. They continue to
affirm mental illness rather than treat it, so the carnage
would continue and the Democrat crazies could continue to divide
this country, leaving the bodies of our children in their wake.
Of course, speaking of those left wing nutjobs, here's the
mayor of Minneapolis, a man who cried at the casket
(06:51):
of a career criminal by the name of George Floyd.
Here's Jacob Fry not crying over dead Christian children. Knew,
but he's worried about the fake trans community that left
Winger is created out of thin air.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I have heard about a whole lot of hate that's
being directed at our trans community. Anybody who is using
this as a using this as an opportunity to villainize
our trans community or any other community out there, has
lost their.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Sense of common commandity.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yeah, how much love was shown to our kids by
one of these so called trans people that you and
your leftist kind wound up and set loose under our country,
Mister Mayor, the Minneapolis mayor there, even with the bodies
of dead Catholic children from a monster of the Democrat's
own creation, still fights to keep the scam going while
(07:47):
ignoring the suffering he and his Democrats are imposing on
this country. The only hate Americacies is from the leftist
operatives who have been filled with hate by Democrats. They
hate Trump, they hate Christians, they hate Jews, they hate
America just like the Democrats taught them. These evil disciples
of the Democrats are celebrating another attack on a Catholic
(08:10):
church online. Their role models, of course, the Obama and
Biden regimes that weaponized our government against the Catholic Church
and people of faith. Here's accused domestic abuser, the Attorney
General of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, saying that Democrats will pledge
to keep affirming mental illness and stop all attempts by
(08:31):
President Trump to protect our people. Dude forty four times,
and we'll assue them.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Forty four more and forty four.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
More after that.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And we have sued them for gender affirming care.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yes, we are not going to scapegoad our transgender community.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
And we have.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
Sued them to stand up for medical research.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Affirming.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
There's that word again, Keith Ellison, committed to carnage folks.
Democrats continuing the lie that is the trans community all
for their hate feel Democrat political power. And that leads
me to the Press secretary for Barack Obama and President
Auto Pen who was running things for the last four
years as Joe Biden was mentally and physically compromised. Here's
(09:18):
what Solisaki had to say in the wake of another
left wing creation acting on Democrat hate quote.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings.
Prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids
to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back enough
with the thoughts in prayers.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
End quote and circle back. Saki brings me full circle.
Remember I told you about the writings and the video
of the trans shooter in Minneapolis. They were filled with
hate of Trump, hate for our country, hate for Jews,
hate for Christians, hate for Jesus Christ, hate for God.
(10:00):
Is he any different than the violent leftists that have
been fire bombing churches? Is he any different than Democrats
who have warped young minds? The minds of our young people.
The Minneapolis shooter was a mirror for the violent, hate
filled Marxist Democrats in our society, the political party of death.
(10:22):
As for Jensaki, the finest that MSNBS has to offer.
I say this, if you ever wanted to see an
agent of evil up close, just look at Jensaki or
the Democrats she represents. She had her kind are why
Christians are once again under attack. The regimes she worked for,
weaponized government against Catholics, and now after two more precious
(10:47):
Catholic children of God have been savagely taken from us
by a mentally deranged creation of the Democrats. She mocks
our prayers to the Almighty, to Jensaki and all of
you left us out there. I pray to God that
americ will drive you Democrats out of power to stop
your policies and venom from killing us. You Democrats fight
(11:10):
to keep crime plaguing our cities. You democrats fight to
affirm mental illness rather than treat it. You and your
wretched kind had better learn to pray, because only God,
your creator, can save the likes of you. We conservatives
have more than one way to skin a leftist cat,
and I think that's the genesis of the next conversation
(11:31):
I'm going to have on the Salceado Storm podcast. And
now a word from my sponsors. Oh jeez, if I
hear another Obamacare commercial telling me how great it is,
I think I'm going to vomit. In reality, folks are
paying out the nose for crappy insurance, meaning those commercials
are just as much bs as Obamacare is. What if
you're under sixty five? Ineede quality affordable health coverage. American
Medical Plan specializes in under sixty five health insurance plans
(11:54):
that have zero copays at the doctor and no deductible
on all outpatient services, including surgeries. You pick your doctors
and hospitals. There are private plans and roll any time,
and there are thirty to sixty percent less than Obamacare.
If you're paying too much for your own health insurance,
call American medical plans. They are the answer to the
cancer that is Obamacare.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
As you all know, I am no longer a believer
in the two party system. I believe the two party
system has failed because there is not an adversarial position
between the two political parties. Now they're colluding and they're
colluding against us. That is my opinion. I just put
out an eighty sixth Federalist paper the other day, which,
(15:32):
by the way, I'm working on getting published. As soon
as it is, i'll let you know where it goes.
But I did a preamble. You can find it on Newsmax,
and the preamble states this that the dangers of a
political party, a political system where the parties agree, a
non adversarial political party system, I believe it. It disadvantages our
(15:58):
people because the Constitution was set up with checks and balances.
Having our government at odds with itself, so it leaves
us alone. We needed to have that reflected in our
political process, and it's not. They're colluding and they're colluding
against us. John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell, Chuck tumor Nancy Pelosi.
(16:22):
They're all in on it, and we are the unlucky
beneficiaries of that. Sad to say, now, there are some
other conservatives out there, folks thinking in certain different directions,
maybe along the same line, maybe taking different takes on
the set of facts that were presented. And one individual
reached out to me. His name is Blake Fisher. He's
(16:44):
up a policy first conservative. Kind of interesting. I consider
myself a constitutional conservative. He's a policy first conservative, host
of The Homeless Conservative, a show that turns political noise
into plain English. He's disillusioned with the modern GPS, personality
cults and big government populism. He argues for principles over personalities,
(17:06):
grounded in history, data, and the Constitution. Mister Fisher, welcome, thanks,
thanks for having me pleasures all mine. So, as a
constitutional conservative that I am, I have to say I
have no political party that represents me to date, only
the America First coalition that comes that comes close President
Trump's coalition. How do you How do you read the
(17:29):
current political landscape from your.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Point of view?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I mean, I feel similarly in that we're not following
the Constitution. I think if we did, I mean, we
would be a lot better off. I think that's where
all of our problems to stem from is mostly that
Congress has abdicated all of their the whole like coequal
branches of government thing I think is bs that was
started by presidents like Nixon. It's very clear that the
(17:55):
Constitution laid out that Congress has more power than the
other branches. Indeed, they're the ones that can fire the
other branches of government. They're the only ones that can
have the power of the purse. I think all of
our problems essentially stem from the last centuries worth of
presidents trying to take that power the executive branch, trying
to take that power away from Congress, and then Congress
(18:16):
willingly giving that power to the executive branch. I think
that while I agree with your sentiment that the parties
are I don't so much think that they're the same.
I just think that I think they are adversarial against
each other. I think the problem is they're not adversarial
against themselves. It's their own party is in the executive branch.
(18:38):
So basically every Congress is just saying whatever goes as
long as the guy in the White House has the
same letter after his name that we have. And I
think that's really where we need. Adversarial back and forth
is between the branches of government. That's how we the
checks and balances don't work. If Congress doesn't do that
to people in their own party, and so we've seemed
(18:59):
Themmocrats do this with Biden. I think if Democrats really
wanted to show that they were going to change as
a party after their twenty twenty four election defeats, they
would have impeached Biden for his preemptive pardons that he
gave out. I think those were clearly it's like within
obviously his constitutional powers, except that I think Congress has
the right to go, guess what, we can impeach you
(19:21):
for anything we want to. And we think that's a
step too far. We don't think that's righting wrongs. We
think that is a different thing entirely. And if Democrats
really were serious about that, the Democratic controlled Congress in
December would have said, no, that's a step too far.
But they won't do that. And I think that you've
got a similar situation with Republicans and not just Trump.
(19:42):
But I mean, this is a problem with Trump that
they will never go against them. But yeah, I mean
it's been a problem going on for a century. This
is not I think often way too often. I'm not
a big Trump guy personally, but I think way too
often we say everything is different with Trump, and it's
really not like Trump was like maybe the most egregious
(20:03):
version of some of these things. But like this stuff
has been going on first century. It goes all the
way back to Woodrow Wilson.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Well, I mean, look, I would on your point about
the political parties, I don't believe they're they're at all different.
That's the problem, because I'll give you an example, massive
uncontrolled illegal immigration. The Republicans say they opposed it, but
all their quote opposition didn't result in one illegal alien
being kept out of my country. The Republicans claim that
(20:32):
they oppose massive government overspending, but guess what, we're at
thirty seven trillion dollars in counting. Nobody wants to be
fiscally responsible. They all get together, they shake the hands
and say everybody gets everything. Nobody says no, no responsible government.
And I believe that's that's collusion on a level. The
disadvantages we the people. As you heard me say, I
(20:55):
don't believe in the two party system anymore. Where are you.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I don't think the two party systems can be changed.
It's not that I think it's the right system. I
think it's just the system that's inevitably gonna It's inevitably
going to be the system that happens with our constitution
set up. I think the problem really is that the power,
like the parties don't have any power anymore, and I
think they should go like have a little power. I
(21:20):
think the one thing that we again, good intentions don't
really matter when the results are bad. And I think
the intentions of the campaign finance reform that happened in
the early two thousands was well intentioned, but what it
did was took all of the money out of parties
and gave it to super PACs and individual domation to cands.
(21:42):
So what that means is that you have on both
sides on Democrats in Republicans, you have someone like AOC
that can beat the number three Democrat in the House
in a primary and doesn't even really consider herself a Democrat,
she considers herself a Democratic Socialist. Or Bernie Sanders almost
gets the not Nation in twenty sixteen against Turley Clinton.
If the party's actually had all the power that people
(22:05):
claim they have, they would not let people like Donald
Trump and Bernie Sanders, who don't even claim to be
members of the party run for that Party's nomination for
president because they don't have the power. The power is
now with singles.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Well, no, that's a that's a fair point. That's a
fair point. And I would say the reason why President
Trump was able to swoop in and take over the
Republican Party was because the Republican Party was so naval
gazing so as as mentioned, completely ineffective at stopping the
downhill slide of left wing extremism in this country, completely incompetent,
(22:37):
completely inept, and President Trump, in my opinion, showing the
only backbone the Republican Party has had in recent decades.
Folks were talking to Blake Fisher, he is the homeless Conservative,
and it was that name that really really actually inspired
me to invite him out of the program Where are
you on socialism? Communism? And collect to his thought in general, I.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Think one thing that our side does too much of
is label everything we don't like socialism communism. And I
think that there's like certainly that like, like what's happening
in New York right now, Like that guy is a
communist trust that's going to be the mayor of New
York City right He's he's dialed it back to democratic socialism.
But I mean just a well, let.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Me, let me, let me drill down, hold on, and
then let me just drill down. Because when i'm when
i'm when I'm after is is our children? Courtesy of Gov.
Ed again another section of government where the Republicans have
abandoned our people. Letting, letting leftists and government educate our
children the worst mistake this country ever made. But I'm
but our children are being instructed that, Hey, socialism, communism
(23:42):
is great, man, and if you want to and if
you want fairness, you need communism. I'm just asking you
as a as a an economic system and and that
what devolves the political system that devolves from those economic
systems of communism and socialism. Where are you ideologically and
how do you evo those systems? Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, I mean I think those systems have never worked.
There's literally zero history that they've ever worked. And it's
a farce that they've never been tried. That's the common
thing that comes up when you get into an argument
with someone about this. It's like, well, true, communism's never
been tried. Real socialism has never been tried. It has
been tried, and it resulted in the death of one
hundred million people over the last century, so it has
(24:24):
been tried. It's terrible. I think what bothers me, though,
is that it's a real threat, like real true socialism,
true communism is a real threat. And by a real threat,
I really do mean like it's communism is responsible for
like one hundred million deaths over the last century, whether
that's in China or Soviet Russia, and and so like
it's a real threat that people don't take seriously enough
(24:46):
because frankly, you're right, we're not teaching that history well
enough in school, and so people don't. We have very
very bad history teaching I think in this country is
specifically or even like Civics lessons, and I think that
that's a problem. However, I think we dilute it sometimes
on our side when we call everything communism or socialism,
(25:08):
because eventually people go, well, I don't think that's a
bad thing, you know, and we're conflating a really bad
thing with like a lesser bad thing. And so that's
that's where I like caution us. And it's the same
thing with the other side calling everything fascism. It's like,
fascism is absolutely a threat, but everything that Republicans do
is not fascism. They've called every Republican presidential nominee a
(25:30):
hitler since in my entire life. You know, it's like
we can dial back that rhetoric and actually say what
I mean and actually call out the things that truly are.
Like I said, a guy in New York running for
mayor right now, hell yeah to me, like he believes
in communism.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
To me, when they say I'm a socialist, I tend
to take their word for it. When they say I'm
a communist, I tend to take their damn word for it.
But here comes these these ineffective Republicans like Mitch McConnell
and John Cornyn, stroking their multiple Chin's thought for and saying, oh, well, no,
we really can't deal harshly with our good Democrat friends.
(26:05):
And I say, they're flipping socialists. What's the matter with you?
I have a standard coming into the primaries, and I
want to get your evaluation on them. My standard is this,
I will judge any republic as a conservative, because typically
it's a Republican looking for my vote and my support.
As a conservative, I will judge any Republican on how
(26:26):
effectively they defended me in mind, from Democrats, from leftists,
from socialists, how do you what do you make of
that criteria.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I'm a little more interested on what they proactively do
for me, because I think that, unfortunately, the one thing
the parties are really good at is hyping people up
about hating the other side or at treating evil intentions
to the other sides policies and things like that. And
what I think that gets us is no policy ever.
I mean, this Congress has passed three bills so far
(27:00):
in a second term. It does not appear that they
are interested in doing more. It does not appear that
Donald Trump is interested in them passing more laws than that.
And that's the that's the weird thing where we get
back to the constitutionalism. It's like that is what Congress
is supposed to be doing, and what they're doing instead
is I think that for the most part, look at
last year, we had more Independence vote in the twenty
(27:23):
twenty four election the Democrats. So it's the first year
that intends actually outstripped Democrats. But independence every year in
registrations are both parties are losing people. So I think
that your sentiment is essentially widespread and that people don't
really like the parties. Most people are being motivated by
the by the hate of the other party. That's really
(27:43):
the only thing keeping people in the Republican Party, the
hate for Democrats, and that's really the only people staying
in Democratic Party or people that hate Republicans. I don't
think that can go on forever. I think that eventually,
like if you have a party that has a even
remotely long term kind of wandering in the woods, we
keep thinking. After twenty twelve, I think people thought it
(28:05):
was going to be Republicans for a long time. It wasn't.
They won in twenty sixteen. I think right now Republicans
are getting a little bit too. I don't know. I
feel like they're kind of celebrating the victory of Democrats
are never going to win again. I don't think that's happening.
I think that we're potentially just follying power back and
forth every two to four years. And it's generally not
(28:28):
because the party that's not in power becomes good at
their jobs. It's because the party that it's been power
doesn't do their job well and it's not satisfying the voters.
Where I think we're heading towards is just this kind
of bollying back and forth. Well the press, I'm looking
for someone that has good ideas.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yeah, well yeah, I like good ideas. I like constitutional ideas.
I like ideas that benefit our people, not foreign nationals
or foreign countries or totalitarian regimes or you know, well,
whatever I like, I will like safety, security and the
Constitution enforced. And I don't those Democrats because I dislike them.
(29:03):
I oppose them because of their ideas and their policies,
which is right in your Baileywick. It is their policies,
their anti American, pro criminal policies that I oppose. I mean,
you look around and you see there are real ramifications
for Democrat policies, whether they're leaking classified information like Adam
Schiff has just been found to do. And this is
(29:24):
exactly to your point, I think, Blake. You had Koshpitel,
the FBI director, put out a tweet saying, well, we've
shown this to Congress that all the arrows point back
to Adam shift leaking classified information. Now it's up to Congress.
And I said, whoa hold on a minute, It's not
Congress's job to prosecute crimes. Last time I checked, leaking
(29:45):
classified information is a crime that's up to the Department
of Justice to do, is it not. So it seems
to me that this kicking back these issues that are
violations of the law to entities that are not constitutionally
obligated to handle those those breaches of law are what's
(30:05):
primarily frustrating so many of us in the conservative movement saying, no,
you don't send lawbreakers to Congress to be dealt with,
You send them to the Department of Justice to be prosecuted.
The last thing I have for you, I tell my
audience to measure politicians on how those politicians measure up
to my audience. In other words, if you're an American
(30:27):
citizen and a politician wants your vote, you measure that
politician to how they align with you. It's a different mindset,
which I think I think you might even support because
you say that you're against this cultish of following, whether
it be Barack Hussein Obama or whether it be Trump,
that I tell my audience you are the one that
(30:48):
those politicians are supposed to live up to. What do
you say to that?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Absolutely, I mean I think that's our biggest problem is
that voters are not really acting like they're the ones
in charge. Really, all of my albums, like all of
the constitutional arguments with Congress not doing their jobs, really
boils back to us. Congress has something like a ninety
six ninety seven retention rate. We just we vote people
back in generally because they have the right letter after
(31:15):
their name, not because of their performance that we're basing
it on, not because of anything else. We're playing a
team sport now, and so while Congress has like an
eleven percent approval rating, everyone essentially approves of they are
congressman or their senator and keeps voting them back into office.
And that's really where the problem is when you've got
a ninety six retention rate, and really right now, the
(31:37):
only real danger in Congress is to get primary Democratics.
The only thing really Democrats and Republicans for the most part,
because they're in very safe deats as far as it
being red or blue. But the only danger comes from
possibly being primary. I have whole sorts of problems with
the primary system, but that I don't think work really well,
so not enough people are voting in it. But again
(31:58):
that comes back to us. We are not taking our
job seriously either. In this whole thing, and we look
at that by yeah, we know thirty three percent of
us can't name the three branches of the.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Government, right, can't We can't name our own representatives. We
can't name our own centatives. Right, we get the government
we deserve. It's a fair point, Blake Fisher. Where can
folks find the homeless conservative?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Anywhere? You listen to podcasts? Or on my YouTube channel?
I do a little short, shorter videos there as well,
which is just the homeless conservative should be easy to find.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Roger that, hey man, I appreciated the visit. It's nice
to talk with a fellow conservative and different aspects of
the experience we find ourselves in in these modern day
United States. Thank you, sir. That's going to put a
rap on this Salsato Storm podcast till we visit again.
My friends, remember this, A society's worth is not measured
by how much power is stolen by an out of
control government. We measure a society's worth by how much
(32:53):
power has been reserved for you and me, we the
people you keep fighting for freedom out there, my friends,
