Is the world waking up to the dangers of globalism? Lynn Woolley (Planet Logic) and Lou Ann Anderson (Political Pursuits the Podcast) posit a theory: the country and the rest of the world are noticing the dangers of allowing global elites to run the world. From the climate change hoax to worldwide immigration disasters, what’s good for the world’s rich isn’t always what’s best for you and me.

Welcome to Planet Logic and Political Pursuitsthe podcast today's episode Awakening Lions. I'm
Lynn Woolley of Planet Logic Political Pursuits. Low Ann Anderson is here Awakening Lions.
You know, we've had this dobblesthing, lou Ann. We're seeing
some people starting to make some comments. The whole Trump idea of make America

(00:20):
great again is coming back into vogue. People around the world are beginning to
see the fallacies in the way theliberal elites have been running the country and
the world in recent times. Andergo the title today, are people waking
up? It would seem that theycertainly are. And I think that we

(00:42):
probably from a historical standpoint, we'lllook back at twenty twenty and the pandemic
as having really been the turning pointin which that happened, because that affected
us in so many ways politically,economically, personally, find outantially. But
you know, one of the mainthings was that it really exposed the attitudes

(01:07):
and the agendas of our governments.And it exposed also, I think the
cohesion that we have of not onlya certain you know, a nation's government
trying to exert control, but itshowed the coordinated efforts such that the World
Economic Forum. You know, twentyyears ago, if you started talking world

(01:29):
Economic Forum, people kind of laughedat you. They were like the builder
Burgers, and you know, theywere just this like nebulous organization. And
you know now that you get yourtenfoil hat back on type thing. Now
the World Economic Forum is front andcenter and trying to do so many things
that impacts our daily lives. AndI think that a lot of that came

(01:51):
out of twenty twenty. I thinkit did too, and I think a
lot of it is related to climatechange. This is what the world elites
have used to control the people orthe sheep, if you prefer. Again,
I misplaced my invitation to this thingso I couldn't go. But when
you look at the global elites,I guess the name the face that pops

(02:12):
up in my head just when yousay the word global elite is John Carry.
I mean, I cannot think ofanybody more smug, Nobody anymore self
important, nobody's so proud of hisown abilities, Nobody that nobody that believes
he's so special. Somebody like me, you know, somebody like me.

(02:32):
He said, I have to havea private jet I'm going around the world
doing good by refusing to let anybodyelse use a private jet. And it's
becoming apparent that we've been fed aline of bull crap. The world is
not coming apart or dying from globalwarming, which has now been changed to

(02:52):
climate change because that covers an anythingthat happens. They can now say it's
climate change. And you go overto this Dovils and it's it's typically like
the borg on Star Trek, allof one collective mind and Luanne that fell
apart. Well year. What's funnyis that their theme for this, this

(03:13):
little shindig was regaining trust. AndI found that so ironic because it's a
matter of they want to regain trust, so they want to they want to
alter the way in which people viewthem. Well, if you really wanted
to do that, the best thingthat you would do is maybe alter your

(03:37):
behavior, maybe stop doing the thingsthat make people mistrust you. That would
be a good first step in regainingtrust. But no, with this crowd,
it's not about that. It's thatwe've got to find a way to
further control the information that the populationsworldwide can get a hold of. We
need to control the messaging. Weneed to make sure that they don't have

(04:00):
access to information for them to helpform more you know, stringent opinions about
things based on facts and actualities andrealities, and so their idea of regaining
trust is, you know, basically, how can we take a new approach
to bamboozling the people of Earth.Well, this is term awakening lions.

(04:25):
I know that came from a specificleader. We also had a couple of
Americans go over there and kind ofupset the Alkal cart. But in countries,
we've seen this happening for a whilein Hungary, and now we're seeing
it happen in other places where they'rebasically saying the liberal global elitist model is

(04:47):
not working, and I am runningor I have been elected and now I'm
going to govern from a different pointof view. Well, back in twenty
sixteen, you remember that the warlwas set on edge that summer when Brexit
passed, and a lot of peoplerightfully so believed that that could be a

(05:09):
harbinger for Trump's election, which infact, even though all the odds said
no, it could never happen,and everything was stacked against him, and
he was outspent and outgunned in everystep of the way. Son of a
gun. He shocked the world andhe won. And that's what people now.

(05:30):
In twenty twenty they made sure thatdidn't happen. They shut the world
down and stole an election. Butnow in twenty twenty four, with what
you see going on worldwide, theelites are afraid that that could happen again
for here in twenty twenty four,and I think they have very good reason
to be concerned about that. Justa little fun fact. In twenty twenty

(05:54):
four, more than half of thepeople on this planet living countries where there
will be elections, more than half. And the people aren't happy. And
the people are not happy, andthe gripes that they have have major,
major similarities. Immigration and the economyare probably the biggest two. People aren't

(06:17):
concerned about climate. As you mentionedBrexit, I mean that's that was driven
by immigration. I mean you you'veyou've had the attacks on the London Bridge
at the area Ona Grande concert inManchester, I believe it was in England.
And these things seem to be precipitatedby people with grievances who are able

(06:40):
to get into your country from someother country. We're seeing that here.
We saw it certainly on nine toeleven, and I think I think people
are thinking, wait a minute,wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait a minute. All this sortof relates to MAGA. What does that
stand for. It's not make it'snot take over America, it's make America
great. And for Democrats to runagainst making America great seems counterintuitive, But

(07:05):
that's what they're doing, oh,absolutely, without a doubt. But I
think it's a matter of what theyhave. Their problem with it is it's
a little just too much of abroad based idea and make America great now
if it was make the American eliteslives great again, or make developing countries

(07:28):
great. Yeah, make developing countriesgreat. Developing countries are a useful tool
for the political elites because out adoubt. Now, that's one way they
can come to us with a straightface and say we're taking your money and
we're giving it to somebody else.And that's to me, what climate change
is all about. It's about equity. It's equity, yes, redistributing money

(07:50):
or wealth from richer countries to poorercountries, well, where the people who
run those poorer countries will then proceedto steal what I find exciting about what's
going on right now. And Imean, twenty twenty four is probably going
to be the most stressful year anyof us have ever lived through, you

(08:11):
know, for anyone who was youknow, not really of age in World
War Two. But what I thinkis so neat. They're at Davos,
both with Argentinian newly elected president JavierMalay, who was the one who talked
about that he was in power notto guide sheep, but to awaken lions.

(08:31):
But he and Kevin Roberts, becauseKevin Roberts from the Heritage Foundation,
who also used to be with TexasPublic Policy Foundation right prior to go into
Heritage. But anyway, Roberts ata panel, he came out just right,
you know, the first thing hesaid, the kind of person who
will come into the next conservative administrationhere in the US is going to be

(08:52):
governed by one principle, destroying thegrasp that political elites and unelected technocrat have
over the average person. And that'sexactly in a nutshell what you see,
that desire and a leader playing outall over the world. Well, Kevin

(09:13):
Roberts sat on a panel that wasbeing moderated by one of those aforementioned political
elites. He looked the guy inthe face and he said, the problems
we have in the world now,you're the problem. The political elites are
the problem. And it reminded me, and I'll paraphrase Ronald Reagan when he
said, in these times in whichwe live, government is not the solution.

(09:35):
Government is the problem. And whatKevin Roberts said and what Ronald Reagan
said both remind me of the Bidenadministration and how it is trying to take
over everything. I mean, doyou want a gas range. I mean,
if you want one, Biden saysyou can't have it. Biden doesn't
want you to have a power lawnmowerrunning on gas. Biden doesn't want you

(09:56):
to have a car running on gas. In twenty twenty four, as you
mentioned, could be an interesting year. Twenty twenty four. In fact,
January of twenty twenty four is theyear that people who depend on electric vehicles
to get them from point A topoint B have found out that you don't
always make it to point B,especially when it's cold. Without a doubt,

(10:22):
lithium batteries do not like the cold. People would sit there and charge
and charge and charge in their chargegauge still says zero. Yeah, they're
not ready. They're not ready forprime time. No, And it seems
like to me things happen organically.They're fine. I mean, we don't
ride in horses to work, andwe don't have you know, the buggy.

(10:43):
The buggy industry is dead, butit didn't happen overnight. And if
we switch to electric vehicles, itseems to me that the technology has got
to move forward a little bit everyyear until we get to a point where
we can develop a battery that canhandle the cold. But again, that
goes against the laws of physics.Well, and it's just it's not it
hasn't developed to the point of beingready for mass marketing. But it's also,

(11:07):
like Kevin Roberts said, when hewas going through his list of the
things that the elites try to convinceus of, that's a good thing when
the people know differently, you know, everything from immigration to the crime that
we have on the streets. Andwhen he got to climate change talking about
that, he said, you know, it's probably the greatest cause for mental

(11:30):
health crisis in the world. Andhe was talking about wind and wind and
solar, And he said, youknow, we love the idea of wind
and solar, but it needs tobe developed in a free market. It
doesn't need to be developed in agovernment environment where it's they call it ringed
on subsidies and they call it renewableenergy. Wind and solar are alternate energy.

(11:54):
It's great when the wind is blowing, let's switch over and use the
windmill power. And when the sunis shining and it's hot and it's one
hundred and ten degrees and there's nota cloud in the sky, switch over
to solar. But if you don'thave that fossil fuel backing it up,
you're going to regret it. Andthat's exactly what we've been seeing, exactly
exactly. In fact, right nowwe are more at risk of having power

(12:18):
outages than even we were in thesummer when we did have those one hundred
and ten degree days because here duringthe winter, with the days being shorter,
the generation capacity for that solar iscut down because, son of a
gun, the whiffers haven't figured outhow to make a winter day last longer
than about eight hours ten hours.Well, and then Jamie Diamond, who

(12:41):
is the head of JP Morgan Chase, who is a big liberal, big
leftist, big Obama supporter, goesto this Davis thing. And I don't
know who who's making the most headlines, him or Kevin Roberts. Probably probably
Diamond because he's a bigger name asfar as more people know. I mean,
Roberts is a big name in conservativecircles, maybe a big name in

(13:03):
all circles. Right now, Diamondcomes out and says, well, you
know, with regard to Trump,and he's on a panel on CNBC when
he did this. Remember NBC isthe most liberal of all the networks,
and he says, well, whenit comes to climate change, you know,
you kind of got to say Trumpwas right about that, and Trump

(13:24):
had economic ideas and he was rightabout those. And he said Trump was
right about the border and immigration,and he goes on and on these CNN
guys. Heads are just growing,and I was afraid we're going to get
blood on the camera when they explodedbecause they could not believe that. But
he's right. Let me just askyou. He's a big liberal. He

(13:48):
just came out and said Trump wasright on a number of things, including
all the major issues. Why wouldJamie Diamond do that. He knows that
Trump is right. He has knownthat Trump was right, but Trump did
not did not suit the agenda thatJamie Diamond wants to be a part of.

(14:09):
But that those comments, while heactually knew they were or he knew
they were factually accurate, I don'tthink his sincerity was really on the mark
there. But I think that itwas a matter of positioning himself to be
viewed as someone who would be morelooking to form an alliance with Trump and

(14:31):
help work towards those Yeah, Ithink that could be a big one.
But you know, you've got toremember that here we are at Davos too,
there was something else that happened,you know, right during that timeframe,
and that's what Trump had just done, what he did in Iowa.
And so because he was so controlling, domineering the field there in Iowa and

(14:54):
New Hampshire here, it's coming up. It looks like he's c only going
to win there. It's just amatter of, you know, by how
much. Because of the fact thatDemocrats can come in there and vote in
the Republican primary, Nikki Haley's probablygoing to come in a little better than
she would if it was a closedRepublican primary, but still Trump. I

(15:16):
think he'll win by well truy Trumpgets the Ramaswami votes and Haley gets the
Chris Christie votes, all three allthree probably so uh And I want to
talk about that a little bit more. But this whole idea of an awakening
just absolutely fascinates me. What wesaw from Jamie Diamond, what we saw

(15:37):
from from Kevin Roberts, both ofwhich making big news headlines. And I
would imagine around the world from whatthese people were seeing, seeing these countries
that are doing what they're doing,seeing the Brexit basically over immigration, seeing
how Biden just doubles down on ourborder being open. And you've got mayors

(16:02):
like Eric Adams in New York andBrandon Johnson in Chicago literally begging Texas Governor
Greg Abbott to at least slow downduring the winter months. They don't have
any way to take care of this. So New York City Chicago, two
of the three largest cities in theUnited States, can't handle this in the

(16:25):
same efficient manner that Eagle Pass doesor McAllen or Laredo. And I'm just
amazed by this, And are thesemayors part of that awakening to a degree,
yes, because they are now,they are now, you know,
having to live the experience in theory. Immigration's great. Oh give us you're

(16:49):
tired, you're poored those huddled masses. Well, now they got the huddled
masses and they're going what and that? Hell? Do wee? Reality?
Yes? Yes, I mean it'sthe most amazing thing I've ever seen.
I've always said, if you wantto defeat liberalism, let it do what
it wants to do, let itdo what it will do, and wait

(17:10):
a couple of years. With JoeBiden, I think almost more than with
Obama. And I don't really quiteunderstand this, but with Joe Biden,
liberalism has been put into motion almostone hundred percent, I mean at an
accelerated rate, at an accelerated rate. And he started it on day one

(17:32):
with what I think are unconstitutional executiveorders. I believe executive orders ought to
be limited to, you know,things pertaining to the White House staff and
what will be on the menu atthe state dinner and things like that.
But I believe our Constitution says anythingof consequence has to be passed by the

(17:52):
House, passed by the Senate,and signed by the President. So Biden.
Biden did all these things basically saying, anything Trump did, I will
do the opposite. That was hisguiding light. Anything Trump did bad,
anything Trump did the opposite would begood. And it hasn't turned out to
be correct. But yet Biden,who back when he was still more cognizant

(18:15):
than he is now, wanted openborders. He's never wanted anything but open
borders, and he's had a chanceto do it now. And I think
we're seeing an awakening in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles,
some of the places where Abbot andto some extent Dessanders he sent them up

(18:36):
to Martha's vineyard. We're seeing anawakening. Martha's Vineyard deported them from Martha's
Vineyard in twenty four hours. Sowe're starting to see the realization. And
I'll put it like this way,from a liberal point of view, someone
may be thinking, who is aliberal? Oh my gosh. I have
wanted this all my life. Ihave looked forward to this. I have

(18:56):
wanted a president to do these things, and I have that and the president's
doing it. Why is it allfalling apart? Why is it all crumbling?
I would think that there is somereal soul searching going on with a
segment of the population, not everybody, but again it's that awakening lions that

(19:18):
you know, there are some peoplethat are self reflective enough that they can
figure it out and the realities thatthey're seeing, you know, they're broad
based. That's not hitting Republicans orDemocrats. I mean, it is hitting
different groups of people differently, butthat's based more on economic factors than it

(19:41):
is on racial factors. Awakening lions. Presidents of Harvard and Penn go before
the Congress and the question was fairlysimple, is it genocide or if people

(20:03):
are chanting from the river to thesea, meaning destroy Israel, drive them
into the sea. The Israelis aredogs and pigs? And does that comport
when your students do it, doesthat comport with the regulations and the viewpoint
and the basic values. I guessas the word of say Harvard and Claudine

(20:26):
Gay goes into a legal, legallylayally approved nuance, well, you know,
it depends on this, and itdepends on that. So was the
not the takeaway from that? Then? Kind of that whole whole thing about
all animals are equal, some arejust more equal than others maybe, so
yeah, some eat others, andsome are the eats and some of some

(20:48):
are the eaters. But when youcan't go before the Congress and simply say,
at my school, at my college, at my university, we don't
don't believe in genocide, and wewill stop any movement at our college toward
that goes back for any greatest humanbeing in politics in my lifetime. And

(21:15):
some people would say Trump, Iwould not. I would say Ronald Reagan.
Because there's video you can find onYouTube anytime you want to. It's
Reagan sitting at a news conference inSacramento, and the reporter looks at Reagan's
all black and white early sixties wheneverhe was governor, and the students at
Berkeley had just taken over the administrationbuilding and thrown the president of Berkeley out

(21:37):
of his own office, and theyhad occupied it. This is what the
liberals would call an insurrection today.And the reporter asked Reagan bluntly, the
question, well, why don't yousit down with the students and negotiate with
them? And because they have apoint here, Reagan said, negotiate with

(21:57):
the students. Would I negotiate withthe students we're running the college. We're
the adults. They go there becausewe let them go there. I'm not
negotiating with any students. Well,fast forward, here we are. Is
it an awakening now on college campuses? Are we awakening some lions somewhere that

(22:21):
maybe the college ought to be ableto control the student body just a little
bit since they're essentially children and theyhave been indoctrinated by left wing professors.
Well, this is another front thatcolleges are now having to defend themselves on
because certainly we found over the lastyears how worthless some of these degrees are.

(22:42):
And so that has caused people tostart really rethinking its college even worth
coming. And now when people arecoming to look at a college, they
have to start looking at well,okay, if I'm Jewish, or even
if I'm a Christian, or ifI'm a conservative, do I need to

(23:02):
maybe rethink going to college? Orcertainly did this college or that college because
they're gonna the gender? I mean, if you're cis gender. I mean
you know those can be fighting work. Tried to find out one time if
I was cis gender. You know, that's considered a pejorative in some yes,
in some circles now, So no, I think I think that that

(23:23):
colleges are finding themselves having to defendtheir institutions. Gay, Yeah, what
a phony, and every step ofthe phony. The word a box checker
essentially, who had made her wayforward on the strength of some I guess

(23:44):
pretty well written thesises and things likethat. Problem was it wasn't her,
it wasn't her work. Yes,I mean, she's as big a plagiarist
as the current guy that occupies theOval Office who I will never refer to
in my lifetime as president, andthat's Joe, who is a well known
plagiarist. You know, there's attribution, there's your own work, and then

(24:07):
there's this flat out you steal whatsomebody else did, Yes, and that's
ridiculous, And you know, it'sjust crazy that this woman then can do
what I'm assuming I think she didthis. I call her take a Load
Off Fanny because it's one of myfavorite songs by the group The Band was

(24:27):
take a Load Off Fanny. Thiswoman said that back in twenty twenty that
she would never date anybody within herown department, and of course now she's
in a big scandal for doing justthat. And for benefiting from it through
lavish vacations, and then when she'scalled on it, she turns around and

(24:52):
calls it racism. Well, shedidn't do anything wrong. It's just all
racism. It's not me, it'syou. You're not willing to give a
a black woman a break here becauseyou're a racist. And I have to
think this does not make sense tome. Are we coming to an awakening
where we are starting to realize thatif we're going to treat all the different

(25:17):
races and ethnic communities as equals inthe country, then when one of them
gets in trouble, you can't screamracism as a defense at clouting gay Fanny
Willis both did that, yes,yes, And in terms of other awakenings,
I would also say that you bringup Fanny Willis, as Charlie Kirk

(25:40):
calls her, Big Fanny Willis.All of this law fair against President Trump.
It's not working. Oh, it'sannoying as everything. It's causing expense
for him, which is ridiculous.It's making his campaigning more difficult as it's
meant to be as the distraction thatit is, and it's it's ought to
be frightening to think that you know, if these people were able to fulfill

(26:06):
their goals, they want to putme in jail for seven hundred years the
rest of my life. That's gotto be intimidating at some level somewhere.
But in terms of the public reactionto it, I think that's another example
of the awakening, because you know, have they just come up with like
one bogus BS indictment, people mightbe, Wow, that's you know,

(26:29):
that's really bad, and boy,you know he needs to go to court
and standard us like this grifter womanthat says Trump mistreated her in a department
store, that's got to be theweirdest true. Oh totally. And I
mean, and then if you're goingto contrive something like that, can you
not find somebody who is less uncredible. No, the judge wouldn't even let

(26:49):
Trump often. DI mean, she'sthe Christine Blossy Ford of twenty twenty exactly.
The judge wouldn't halt the trial forone day so that Trump could go
to my life on his mother's funeral. But my point with the awakening of
all of this is that he isstill stronger in the polls than ever and

(27:10):
Iowa showed that those polls translate tovotes and what we are seeing, and
it will be interesting as this.You know, this primary process I think
is going to fizzle out here prettyquick. But it would seem the support
is coming even far more broad basedthan just Republicans. He's doing well with

(27:30):
independence, he's doing well with minorities, with Blacks, with Hispanics, with
the college educated women who I'm acollege educated women, and I don't know,
I guess there's a lot of collegeeducated women that, thank god,
I don't have a lot in commonwith. Yes, But I'll take it
a step further than you. Ithink that Iowa would have been a contest.

(27:52):
I think that New Hampshire would havebeen a contest. I think that
South Carolina and Super Tuesday would maybehave had a part in picking our nominee
in the Republican Party if they hadn'tbrought all these lawfair is what they're calling
it against Donald Trump. A lotof black men said, wait a minute,
that's the way my race has beentreated for a long time. Just

(28:15):
throw us in jail. And theyhave a point there. I don't know
if they have a point now,but there was certainly a time, and
maybe there's some vestiges of that.But I still think when a black man
robs a bank and gets caught,he still gets to go to prison,
the color of the skin notwithstanding.But I think that's a feeling within some
of these communities that Trump is Trumpis being attacked in the same way that

(28:41):
say, some member of my familywas. That speaks though to the two
tiered system of justice. Sure,and I think that there are more people
than maybe you realize that would sayyes, there are two tiers of justice
and that that they're just that peoplehave in their life experience. Maybe there's

(29:07):
more people than you would realize thathave had some interaction with the court system
or the legal system and have seenthat not all people are treated the same.
Well, would you okay? Andlet me bring up then the case
of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.I mean, I have inside information from

(29:29):
people that claim to know that he'sdone a lot of these things, but
they couldn't convict him in a stateimpeachment. And it's the number one sort
of a pejorative type statement that I'mseeing on the political flyers that come to
my mailbox when they're doing negative advertising. SO and so voted to impeach Ken

(29:55):
Paxton is considered a negative. Idon't know anybody in Austin and that doesn't
think he's going to prison. Well, it's almost a reverse two tiered justice,
a reverse reaction to the two tiersof justice. It's the people coming
back and saying we like what hedid. Yeah, we don't want it.
We like what he did politically.We may not like what he did

(30:18):
personally or with his ethics, butwe weren't voting for him to be our
Sunday school teacher. We were votingfor him to go after the Biden administration
and do the things that he did. And what he did, there's enough
of the rest of you that havedone that that aren't in this two tiered
system of justice, who are goingaway scott free. And so, you

(30:38):
know what, you all do nothingthat helps make my life or the life
of residents across my state better.He actually does. So you know what,
if we're going to have this twotiered system of justice, then let's
let it work on him too,and we'll let him get by with whatever
he may have done. But youknow, at least he is at least

(31:00):
he is doing something redeeming in thefact that he is well serving the interests
of the people of Texas. HillaryClinton went on a podcast recently, within
the last three or four weeks,and I can't remember the exact thing,
but I believe it was. Shewas talking about Trump and all the nasty
things he's done, and I'm thinking, lady, you had an illegal server

(31:22):
at your house. Hillary, youlooked at the depths of four Americans and
said, at this point, Senator, what difference does it make You financed
took it over for some other people, but essentially financed a false dossier that
was completely and utterly debunked. Andyou're on a podcast saying that Trump does

(31:48):
these things look in the mirror.Well, it's just a matter of they
are in our face all the time, you know, really not disputing the
idea that there's a two tiers ofjustice, and so it's like, you
know what, Okay, you you'veconvinced me there's two tiers of justice.
Most of the time it works inyour favor. Well, with Ken Paxton,

(32:10):
I'm fine with it working in mindfor it is still in office,
isn't he for now? George Santosis not. I think I think he
is in office because they don't wantto risk losing the seat. I think
so too. They're they're worried aboutkeeping it, even though there are some
Democrats who would like him to go. I mean, look one of them.

(32:30):
For the same reason. I thinkit was stupid that we ejected Santos.
I personally think we should have justlet him r by, let the
legal system work. It's right,the legal system work its way out,
and then let the voters vote insomebody else. I personally would have preferred
leaving them there and you know,and when they're you know, and them
spend more time maybe on a budget, on cutting cutting spending. Well,

(32:54):
there's another great awakening. I remembersomething Rush Limbaugh said, and I thought
about it, and Rush analyzed itin several different ways. But he said,
I've heard all my life that allthe government spending is going to wreck
the country. And he said,yet my life has never been affected by
it. My radio broadcast partner JimCardle, whom I love dearly, said

(33:16):
yes, I'm kind of in thatcamp. He says, I don't really
see now this was a couple monthsago. I don't really see this big
national debt that we have, whichis now thirty four trillion. I don't
really see that affecting me. Well, now he does, try to buy
a new car. Can you afforda new car? I can't afford it.

(33:37):
I'll be relegated to use cars forthe rest of my life. I
don't believe that I could buy anew house right now, not with the
interest rate where it is. Anda can of beans at wally World that
used to be fifty two cents isprobably now eighty two cents. Essentially,

(33:58):
your dollar bill that when Trump leftoffice was worth in real terms a dollar
at that time, a dollar isworth in what was it, twenty twenty
dollars? Correct, Now he's worthless than eighty cents. People can no
longer say I am not affected bythe national debt, and therefore we're seeing

(34:22):
another awakening and we are at thatpoint now where the debt is escalating.
It will consume our entire GDP.Yes, yes, because it was just
we added another trillion what in aboutninety days, and it's continuing at that
rate. Let me ask you mentionedBrexit. You stoked a memory in the

(34:43):
back of my mind with this Brexitthing. There's something that rhymes and brecks,
and that's texts I'm seeing more andmore posts on x and Facebook and
even some articles being written on couldit happen? Could Texas actually leave the
Union? What do you make ofthat? There is the Texit movement and

(35:07):
they're trying to get some kind ofinitiative on the ballot. I haven't followed
that real closely. I think it'sa conversation that's worth having because, unlike
many states, Texas actually could standon its own, and yes likely could

(35:29):
you know, it would be akinto Brexit, It would be messy for
I think California could stand. Well, let me put it this way,
Texas could stand on its own.California could fall on its own. California
has the resources to do it andthe capacity to do it. They do
not have the leadership. They don'thave the leadership of nor the intelligence to

(35:51):
do it out there. Okay,so that's another thing where we had in
Wakening. Let me mention a coupleof others, this whole idea of cancel
people. Have you noticed that ClaudineGay was kind of canceled and the president
of MIT was kind of canceled.Now, Claudine in her favor, I
will say this, Claudine was makingnine hundred thousand dollars a year as president,

(36:16):
And when she was canceled, unlikesome Republicans who then can't go out
and get a job, she simplywent back to teaching grievance her grievance classes
and didn't lose any of her salary. So you really can't say that she
was canceled. But do you thinkthere's an awakening now that maybe we shouldn't
have renamed Fort Hood to Fort Cavazo's, Maybe we shouldn't be toppling statues of

(36:39):
Roberty Lee. Maybe Legacy High Schoolin Midland should go back to being Lee
High School. I think people arerethinking all of that. I think that
in terms of the cancelations of peoplethat it's like, it's like so many
other things. It's like the lawfair, it's like just so much of

(37:00):
what we've seen. They overplay it, they overextend it. You know,
when something is just done, whensomething's initially done, you might say,
wow, there's some righteousness in doingthat, there was some legitimacy to that.
But then when you see that concepttake and be pushed over and over

(37:21):
and over again, and it getsmore exaggerated and it gets more punitive,
and that's what we saw with thecancelation. Then I think that people at
a point start going, huh,wait a minute, and you know that's
what I know. He's controversial,but Russell Brand. Russell Brand had a

(37:43):
horrible month back in twenty twenty threewhen those media sources went out and found
these women that said, oh yeah, they went and you know, had
some kind of trysts with them withthe guy who has been has upfront can
be about having a checkered past,and it really for a while there,

(38:06):
and I mean I listened to hispodcasts pretty regularly and you could see,
I mean, he was concerned.But it's blown over and people are like,
the accusers just aren't that whole.Believe all women isn't so easy a
thing to sell anymore. And it'skind of like, just believe all allegations,

(38:28):
believe all accusations. The same withTrump and the lawfair. People just
aren't believing these things anymore. Youcan only tell him so much. So
many times people are so bad,and all of a sudden it's like,
well, wait a minute, youknow Rodgoyevitch talk about somebody who has been
somewhat vindicated. Yes, you know, he went and did his time.
I mean, he did some badthings. He went and did his time.

(38:51):
But what other politician doesn't do exactlythat? Come back to Ken Paxton.
So yeah, I mean it's interestingthe people rose here. She had,
you know, her show and gotand got booted off because of a
stupid tweet one night about Valerie Jarrettand people so overreacted, and I mean

(39:12):
in some people like her, youknow, like others. I think it's
almost becoming a badge of honor thatI was be canceled and I'm coming back
better than you know, still standingthere. Let me mention some people that
haven't been canceled. Fifty two membersof the United States Intelligence Committee signed a
letter or community, I should say, signed a letter saying that the Hunter

(39:36):
Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Notone of them has paid a price.
And two names on that included thepeople who were in former high positions who
now have highly paid positions at eitherMSNBC or CBO or we're not talking about
Jim Clapper. We're talking about Clapperand Brennan and those guys. Those guys

(39:57):
should have been laughed out of town. So is there an awakening about these
guys. Is there awakening there?Certainly? I think an awakening that the
Hunter Biden laptop was real. Well, that's part of the elite media is
certainly trying to preemptively position that Trumpcoming back to office is going to be

(40:21):
on a mission of retribution. Andthat's what they would consider going after a
Brennan or a Clapper or any ofthose people. You know, looking at
the Justice Department for what they havenot done, the FBI for what they
have not done in investigating Hunter Biden, that's retribution. There's are you saying

(40:45):
that they're worried that Trump might imprisonpeople for political reasons? I mean,
I'm the guy that has coined theterm for a new holiday January sixth months
and on January people entered the Capitol. Some people tore things up, destroyed
property, broke glass. I thinkthey should pay a price. Some people

(41:08):
walk through, see what was goingon, walked out, and are now
in jail. Well, from theleftist view, it's called retribution, uh
huh. From a conservative view,it's called accountability. And that's the difference.
If you're going to arrest j sixprisoners, you're going to convict him,

(41:31):
throw essentially throw the book at themand put them in jail for as
long as you can. Then,let me ask you about the summer of
twenty twenty with Black Lives Matter inAATIFA. Let me ask you about what's
going on right now. We hadan insurrection at the White House a week
or so ago, correct, weas we do this broadcast and MSNBC,

(41:53):
The New York Times, CNN ignoredit totally. People breached the fence at
the White House. Yeah, andthey were talking. They were calling the
President of the United States or theguy that may not legitimately be but is
genocide Joe. Nothing happened to them. Why is it that that's that two

(42:16):
system tiered of justice has been talkedabout for so long? Is that part
of this new awakening? I thinkit is. And we've got another great
example to be watching right now too, and that is Hunter Biden in this
whole deposition thing and defying the subpoenaand the potential contempt of court or contempt

(42:37):
of Congress with that, because youknow, Peter Navarrow, he's looking at
six months in jail. Steve Bannon, he's out on appeal. Harry Colder
went to jail for that. No, wait a minute, Eric Colder didn't
go and I'm so sorry, HarryColder did not go to jail. Yeah
yeah, it wasn't even charged.No, but here are these guys.
You know, you make those casesgo away. Right now, both of

(43:00):
them are still out a million dollarsin legal fees. Well, I know
we're running out of time. Ido want to mention one other thing that
I think we're having an awakening on, and that is defunding police. We
defunded the police. I work inAustin. As you mentioned, I'm in
Austin at least five days a week. Austin defunded the police by moving money

(43:22):
from their budget for hiring policemen trainingpolicemen into more of what I would call
a three one one strategy. Ifyou're a woman and you're being raped,
you call and try to get apsychologist to come out and tell the guy
to go away or to come outand help him, because obviously he's doing

(43:42):
this because he's been mistreated in someway. That hasn't worked the City of
Austin set two records and it keptgoing for two or three years. One
was traffic fatalities. We didn't haveany policemen to you know, I don't
like radar traps any morning body elsedoes, but they do help control the
speech. They're a deterrent. Andthe other thing was homicides. Austin set

(44:07):
records for homicides, and you know, being a city the size it is,
that's a lot of homicides. AndI believe that that sane people have
now understood, Yes we have badcops, Yes we need to get rid
of bad cops. Yes we needto have police oversight, but yeah we
need police correct. Well in NewYork City before the illegals started being bussed

(44:31):
up there, before that even happened, New York City because of what Deblasio
did, and then Eric Adams hasn'tbeen any better. They have had their
cuts in policing and the city wasalready pre immigration issues was becoming. It

(44:51):
was reverting back to what it wasback in the eighties. And that's just
so sad. The Basio is goingto be the worst mayor of any city
in history of the United States.Yeah, I don't know. The woman
in Chicago was pretty it was prettybad. LORI lightfoot or mayor beetlejuice,

(45:13):
as we like to call it.You know, I know, we're running
out of time. Let me justbring this up and get your thought on
it. Chris Christy ran on aplatform, I hate Trump. That was
his platform. Right now Joe Bidenis running on a platform. His platform
is I hate Trump. All theDemocrats are on Trump voters and Trump voters,

(45:34):
which has come out in the lastcouple of days big time, where
Joy Reid says, you can't justhate Trump, you got to hate his
voters too, because they're enabling him. And so Biden with really one accomplishment
that they say over and over andover and over, he's lowered the cost
of insulin. And I think that'sI mean, I haven't looked into that.

(45:54):
It may be interfering in the freemarket anyway, but okay, if
I if I had was a suffererfrom that and I needed insulin, that
would be fine. But they can'trun the elected president on that platform.
So remember the red speech, theNazi speech, I mean, and then
some ensuing speeches after that. Andright now Kamala Harris appears to be the

(46:19):
face of the campaign, going onthe view making speeches all over the country
talking about how awful Trump is.Is that a way they can win.
I don't think so, especially inthis climate, not with people waking up
exactly. So I just you know, I see a very interesting constitutional situation

(46:45):
coming up. That Trump is probablygoing to get convicted to something. I
mean, I don't know. Imean, I don't know that Fanny is
going to have any luck. Andthis thing with the idiot woman that's just
pay her money and she goes away. I don't know whether the mar Lago
stuff or anything like that is goingto really produce a conviction, but I

(47:08):
suspect they will get something. Ialso suspect he will be elected president and
so then we're going to have thatwhat happens do they put all that on
whole for four years while he servesand that's going to be an interesting thing.
But your thoughts to close out thepodcast. I think with that,

(47:29):
it's all the more important that Republicansneed to retain the House and regain the
Senate so that if it's thrown somehowto the legislature, we have the most
leverage that we could potentially have.Now, just because you have a House

(47:51):
Republican majority doesn't mean they're going touse it. And that's going to work
in Trump's favor, sadly, butwithout those majority, we know it definitely
will work to his detriment. Well, we've got to do something about the
biggest crisis that I think faces America, and that is the national debts.
It's not I mean, it's alwaysbeen burdensome. They have to spend so

(48:14):
much money in the interest, butit's getting to the point where it will
collapse the country at some point.And it's going to just happen. And
you're going to have on Thursday,things are going to be rocking along like
you know they always have been,so you think, and on Friday it's
going to hit the fan. Youremember when Bush was president, the second
Bush and the housing crisis hit,Yes, And I didn't know it on

(48:37):
Thursday, and I knew it onFriday exactly whatever the days were, exactly,
and we all knew that was coming, and we didn't do anything about
it. Barney Frank, of allpeople, had been on the case of
that and said, we've got todo some Barney Frank, who I don't
agree with on anything, and GeorgeBush had mentioned it before, and that
that's on record. You can stillfind that Audio didn't do anything. Let's

(49:00):
let's sell houses to people at greatrates, great interest rates because of the
color of their skin, who haveno ability to pay it back. What
could possibly go wrong countrywide? Friendsof Mario so to say, you know,
and I don't want Putin too totake over Ukraine, but I think

(49:20):
in the area of takeover, Ithink Europe needs to take over funding that
war. We don't have the moneyand to keep sending billions and billions of
billions over there. And and Ithink Israel is a is a bigger deal
to me for the future of theUnited States. But I think we've got
to fix that. And I hopeto God that there is an awakening on

(49:44):
this issue of this debt. Ithink it's coming. I think it's coming
because people their lived their lived experienceis is bad. And the thing is
they're going to start understanding. Thereare so many people now I've been reading
about how you know, you're startingto see more defaults on credit cards,
and so when they can start seeinghow those defaults on the credit card and

(50:09):
when they were paying twenty four percentinterest, what that interest is going to
be compounding on their own monthly statements. Well, that's exactly what's happening with
the national debt, and so Ithink they you know, it's unfortunate that
for some people it would take thatmuch, that black and white of an
example in order to be able tounderstand it. But we've got their attention,

(50:34):
and there's people in their own livesthat are going to see how that
mounting debt is unsustainable, and they'regoing to start understanding, especially national level
with Biden inflation, because the intereston that debt is not two or three
percent, right, I mean,it's somewhere between eight and fifteen percent.
Anything you have to think, yeah, anything you have to negotiate. Now,
we're going to see that in thecommercial market as well, awakening allons

(50:58):
and we've certainly cut if a lotof issues that we could all awake to
un less hope that people do it. The Democrats have been in power,
they've implemented their agenda with great aggressiveness, and the whole world is in deep
doodo twenty twenty four. It's goingto be a rocking and rolling year.
Get ready for it. Remember,courage is contagious, So go spread some

(51:21):
around, all right for Planet Logic, Thanks for tuning in to our podcast
