Speaker 3 (01:44):
My God is really really special and I love my
dad law I'm proud of him and that even though
he isn't here with us, but he died as a
true hero. I much everything about him, and.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
The moment that the officers and I had to come
see the children, my biggest reaction was, I don't have
seven arms. I have seven children who just lost their father,
and I don't have seven arms to wrap around them.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
I'm Frank Cla, chairman of the steven Sila Tunnel to
Talis Foundation.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Our foundation is committed.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
To delivering mortgage free homes for gold Star families and
fall and first respond to families.

Speaker 6 (02:30):
To not have to worry financially is a huge peace
of mind. The thought of what in the world will
I possibly do to pay the bills? How will I
possibly let the children have a life that feels normal.
I don't want them to have to quit.

Speaker 7 (02:42):
Their piano lessons or their basketball.

Speaker 6 (02:44):
I don't want them to feel that we have to
move into a little apartment and struggle financially.

Speaker 7 (02:48):
In addition to the emotional.

Speaker 8 (02:50):
Weight, there are one thousand families that need our help.
Punel to Taalis is honoring those heroes that risk their
lives by providing them with mortgage free homes.

Speaker 6 (02:59):
Those who serve us and then lay down their lives
protecting our freedoms and our safety. The least we can
do is eleven dollars a month to give them that
piece of always knowing there's a home. There's that sanctuary
when life feels like it's been tipped upside down, because
it has when you lose a parent in the line
of duty, to know you can go home, you can
be safe, there's no risk of losing your home. That's

(03:21):
a peace of mind that I can't believe you can
get for eleven dollars a month.

Speaker 8 (03:25):
I'd like to ask you to contribute eleven dollars a
month to support their efforts.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Please donate eleven dollars a month by calling one eighth

Speaker 9 (03:50):
Independence. With that declaration, America was born.

Speaker 10 (03:58):
Inspired by a belief in the guy given rights of
every human being, that among these are life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. Our government was established to secure
these rights and for the good that comes from exercising them. Well,

(04:20):
this is why the founders of our great nation chose independence,
as do we. Hillsdale College accepts no government funding because
independence makes possible the good to which we aspire.

Speaker 9 (04:40):
Hillsdale College pursuing truth and defending liberty since eighteen forty four.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
There is not enough caffeine in the world. Edition of
the Rick Robinson Shoe. I'll also known as Friday Eve
because for those of you who don't know, I work
super late and super long on Wednesdays because it's like
our busiest day of the week. And then I have
to get up early and start all over again because
I'm insane and I do this to myself, but partly
I do this to myself so you don't have to.
Then I talk about all the things that you need

(09:24):
to know about so you don't have to go listen
to other crazy people. I would say crazier than me,
but I'm not sure that's possible anyway, Andrew, to answer
your question, all the things will probably break at some
point today because they always do. The joys of live
radio and doing things from a home studio, working on
getting infrastructure reinforced now that we have the electrical stuff

(09:47):
taken care of, but it'll be a minute, because I'm
still paying that off. Dude. I'm so tired of how
expensive everything is. It's like the second everybody said, oh,
you can just put it on credit, or you can
do financing everything that's super expensive. I talked about this
a little bit yesterday and last night. Most recent thing
that I find interesting is that is the difference in

(10:11):
the price disparities when you know you're paying using insurance
when you go to the doctor versus when you pay cash.
And this, to me is the exact reason why communism
is has and always will be absolutely terrible. And I
talked about this yesterday, but I'm gonna talk about it
again before we probably find the gun camera footage of

(10:33):
the drug dealers being blown up again, because I think
that may become like a daily thing for me for
a while.

Speaker 17 (10:39):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
We've been calling it the war on drugs since I
was five, well, no, probably eighties, so what seven eighty
seven or eightish. We've been calling it the war on
drugs since the eighties. It's about the time we started
acting like it was an actual war on drugs. I mean,
if we're gonna do it, let's do it. Let's not
just oh, well, we're going to call it a war

(11:00):
on drugs. But have you noticed everything the government calls
a war on anything just winds up being much worse
by the time they're done with it. They declared war
on poverty. How's that going anyway? But look, so this
is a story that's been out now for a little bit,
but I just I just want to drive this point

(11:21):
home for you as to why communism is a terrible idea,
because that's what insurance is, whether there anybody wants to
admit it to you or not, is basically one of
the base forms of communism. Everybody pays under this collective
pool with these Now of course they well, it's not
really communists because you have choices as to which insurance
you use. Well, thanks to Barack Obama, there are much
less choices now, so we're one step closer to communism.

(11:44):
So that argument no longer holds water for me. But
thanks for playing. But so this this is the funny thing.
So a couple just had a baby couple weeks ago
and they got a bill from the hospital for over
thirty thousand dollars. They responded back to the hospital and said,
we'll be paying cash because we don't have insurance. They
sent them a bill for three thousand dollars for the

(12:06):
cash price three thousand dollars. Now, you and I both
know why that happened. You and I both know why
that happened because they know they're normally arguing with the
insurance companies, so they always mark everything three hundred four

(12:26):
hundred percent higher than it's supposed to be because they
know the insurance company is never going to pay the
full freight for whatever they send them. And for those
of you who don't really understand how this works, let's
assume for the moment this couple had said, oh, we'll
just you know, we'll send this to our insurance company,
they would have gotten a bill from the hospital once

(12:46):
the insurance paid its portion. Original payment due thirty nine
and twenty seven dollars and twenty six cents. Pulling that
number out of my butt because I didn't take the
time to look at it that closely to be able
to remember it, but I'm pretty sure it was pretty
close to that. Insurance paid forty seven dollars and forty
two cents. Final bill due to you three thousand dollars

(13:07):
twenty seven cents. So this is what I'm talking about.
And for those of you who haven't been able to
put this together yet, let me explain it to you.
So what happens is your insurance company haggles with the
hospital or the doctor. They know this is going to happen,
so they mark everything up. So then they get the
payment from the insurance company, which is five times what

(13:32):
they would tell you the cash price was for the procedures,
if they were required to tell you what they were,
which up until recently they haven't been. That is slowly
being changed. But then once they get the fifteen grand
from the insurance company, they still come after you for
the original cash price, which means by the time they've

(13:53):
collected everything, assuming everybody, oh, we're getting a deal man,
they gave us almost forty percent off, counting the part
that they're still saying that we have to pay, we're
getting a bargain, when in reality they got six times
the freight for the procedure that you could have paid
three thousand dollars cash form. And this is the whole thing. Everything,

(14:17):
this is, this is why. And I know that at
this point I've watched and I don't say this often,
but I have watched smarter people than me over this
intel thing and listen to folks like Amish, who you know,
plays an asshole on X but actually has like, you know,
degrees in like you know, well, actually training in like
serious like scientific fields and stuff like if you're not following,

(14:43):
if you're not following along with him when he gets
into an argument with climat ards, you want to watch
somebody go from playing a window liquor to somebody who
could who has you know, probably is probably smarter than
Nilda grass Tyson, which, now that I think about it,
probably isn't the compliment I'm in it to be. But
he doesn't usually listen this early anyway. Yeah, it's fun

(15:03):
to watch him go from playing just a caricature on
X two, well what about the seventh glaciation period of this?
And I'm like, what the hell did he say? And
even I'm having to look it up because I have
no idea what he's talking about. Then I felt find
out it's an actual thing, and then even I feel
more stupid than I did before the conversation started. But

(15:23):
watching him wipe the floor with climbatard is probably one
of the reasons I started following him to begin with,
and watching him be able to switch that part of
his brain off and then just club people with pop
culture stuff too, is just kind of an amazing thing
to see. But that's the problem with all of this,
all of it, and then there's all these there's just

(15:48):
so much that we don't know and don't understand because
of all the different laws that have been passed that
are supposed to be being followed that aren't. Like I know,
and I just found this out. I didn't know this either,
And I'm fighting with my insurance company about it right
now because in my state it's now technically illegal for
them to base my rate on my credit score, which
took a hell of a hit when I got divorced.

(16:09):
So now I'm paying a lot more for insurance than
I was because I'm back to being single again. So
I don't get that, Oh, you're a safe driver because
you're married. Dude, I'm fifty two years old. I'm already
a safe driver.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Hell.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
I almost never drive anywhere, especially now that I work
from home. I maybe put one thousand miles a month
on my car, and that's usually if I just want
to go somewhere. But it's not even that anymore really,
But it's just all these different things. But yeah, this
one bugs me because as somebody who grew up poor,

(16:42):
clawed my way out of it, divorced almost noted me
back down into it. Now I'm clowing my way back
out of it again. Seeing the way that people get
taken advantage of my insurance companies and the things that
they do that they shouldn't do, and hospitals that have
become for profit entities instead of making sure that people
are okay. That pisces me off because you can't you

(17:03):
can't do another thing about all of this. You can't
tell me that we don't have Curious for half the
stuff that they prescribe medicine for all the time. Because
I just found out that they were actually through Chrisper technology,
which I've talked about before on this show, which honestly
scares me a bit, if I'm being honest. So for
those of you who don't know what that is, that's
actually the ability to go in using technology to edit genes.

(17:25):
So they have figured out how to regrow pancreous cells
basically just kind of park them in your bloodstream, but
they turn off the So there's an issue with type
one diabetics, where normally what kills their pancreas is their
body views it as a foreign entity, so your immune
system just starts attacking it. So anytime they try to
do pancreatic transplants and everything else, they spend the rest

(17:48):
of their lives on immunosupresence because their body already hates
the pancreas. Imagine how much it's gonna hate pancreas flagged
with foreign bodies. So it becomes an issue. So with
this new therapy, and I don't understand all of it
because I've only been cursorally looking at it, but my
dad is type one diabetic, so it has my interest.
Speed they were able to regrow, they were able to

(18:10):
grow and implant pancreatic cells, and dude who's been type
one diabetic for forever, his body is actually starting to
produce his own insulin. Now, whether these things eventually settle
in and start, you know, repairing the pancreas, or whether
they're just free floating in the bloodstream, I really don't know.
I'm assuming at some point they make their way to
the pancreas and just you know, start going, we're going
to fix you.

Speaker 11 (18:30):
Now.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
But the fact that this is happening, the fact that
I know that, based on a TV show that I've
watched once before, earlier in this past year, that they're
now able to use crisper technology to edit out the
sickle cell gene. They've had success with this. I don't
think it's in human trials yet, even though in the
TV show they made it seem as if it was,

(18:54):
but they have in fact been able to do this
in lab animals. Our technology is outpacing our drug industry,
and that terrifies them because we really are on the
cusp of truly being able to make people better with

(19:15):
literally the stroke of a pen. And I don't know
if I'm excited by that or terrified by it, but
I do know this, it's going to be gate kept
regardless because it always is. I mean, look, if you
don't believe me, look at the difference between how most
everyday average Americans live versus the people that have money.

(19:36):
The people that have money live anymore now to be
one hundred, one hundred and ten most of the time
unless there's just something that cannot be helped because they
have access to medical treatments that you and I can
only dream of because we can't afford them, and they
do that on purpose. Now I am by no stretch
of the imagination of communists, but one of the two
things I believe never should have been made for profit

(19:59):
is hi I'm doing right now, which is trying to
bring you information. And two the medical field. Life was
much simpler when you could have a doctor make a
house call and they would leave with a dozen eggs
and a chicken, because it was about making sure people
were okay, not about lining pockets. So yes, all of

(20:24):
this pisses me off. The incestuous relationships between hospitals and
insurance companies, the incestuous relationships between state agencies and universities
that are also have major hospitals, all of this is
insane to me. Like I didn't know this until I
started working for them. But since the University of Oklahoma

(20:46):
has owe you medical center, if you owe them a
medical bill, because they're entwined with the state, they can
actually seize your tax returns for your medical bills at
the state level and apparently almost nobody has a problem
with that.

Speaker 18 (21:01):
But me.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Now, the scariest thing about Oklahoma, and I don't give
a peek under the hood around here. That often scariest
thing about Oklahoma is the fact that the University of
Oklahoma and the Department of Human Services in Oklahoma are
the two biggest employers in the state. Not just not
just government jobs at Oklahoma in general, but DHS and

(21:28):
the University of Oklahoma are the two biggest employers in
the state. And the State of Oklahoma and the University
of Oklahoma have a completely incestuous relationship going on, so
everything is so intertwined with one another. If one fails,
the other goes with it. This is why you have
things that are happening even in Oklahoma that you wouldn't

(21:49):
think would happen in red states, like the push to
give illegal aliens in state tuition because the University of
Oklahoma's made itself too big to phalan has gotten in
bed with the state. And if it's happening in red states,
imagine what that is like in blue states. And then
maybe you'll finally start to understand why somebody like President

(22:11):
Donald J. Trump had to come in and say, if
y'all don't start fixing this, we're going to fix it
for you, and you're not gonna have a choice anymore.
Because if it's happening in Oklahoma, I guarantee you the
same thing is happening elsewhere. So it is about time
that we start treating some of these things that we're
finally starting to treat as enemies of the state as
actual enemies of the state. When a university is basically

(22:32):
holding state government under thumb, that's a problem. That's a
problem when you've got people that have been able to
flood the market with things like fentanyl and now this
nadrazine stuff that they're talking about, I think is what
it's called. Which, oddly enough, you know, even doing this

(22:53):
kind of work and doing it full time for it'll
be starting It'll be two years in like three weeks
that I've been doing this full time, like all the time,
like shows almost every day, some sometimes multiple shows a day,
articles in multiple places a week. And I've never heard
of it's nihilauzines. Sorry, I don't know why I said nadrezines.

(23:13):
I've never heard of these things, but apparently it's it's
the now the the post version of the stuff that
we've been dealing with forever, fentanyl, and it's even worse,
and apparently it's been out it's been around for years now,
but somehow it's just now making it into the news lexicon.

(23:35):
But this is China's answer to fentanyl. Because we now
have Narcan and other stuff that can help with fentanyl overdoses.
We don't have anything for the nihilaznes like nothing yet.
And I talked about this yesterday too, which is another
reason why I'm really really glad that we're starting to

(23:55):
treat the war on drugs as if it's an actual
war on drugs, because I know you're wondering how I
was going to tie all this together, but I would
like to point out that because of all the treatment
we have to do for drug overdoses and everything else
in hospitals, it's driving up everybody's insurance costs. Keep in

(24:17):
mind that we're probably also being charged about six times
through our insurance companies what the hospital actually needs to
cover the procedures, to make up for the people that
don't pay their bills, to make up for the people
that can't pay their bills, to make up for the
people that are illegal and have to be treated anyway.
So I'm not saying it doesn't make sense for the

(24:37):
hospital to do this. I'm saying if any other business
did things this way, they'd already have been shut down
because I don't know anything that can you can charge
you six times the value of your stuff that you're getting.
I mean, hell, even most grocery stores and everything else

(24:59):
have like a a two percent profit margin, not a
six hundred percent profit margin. Which is why I laugh
at all these people, and I see this all the time, dude,
all the time, all these posts. If you're running a
business and the most you can afford to pay is
minimum wage, then you aren't running a business. You're basically

(25:19):
running a slave, a slaver ring. I'm like, this is
proof that none of you have ever actually owned or
run a business, because, especially when you're first starting out,
sometimes minimum wage is the best you can do, or
even a couple of dollars above minimum wage is the
best you can do, because you've got to figure out
how to be competitive in some cases in what is

(25:41):
already a pretty saturated market. I know because I started
a security company years ago and started clawing my way
into that work, and to do it, I had to
underbid a lot of folks that weren't doing the job right.
But we're getting a lot more money, so I came
in for less money and started making sure my people
were doing the job the right way, which is also

(26:03):
usually more expensive to make sure they are able to
do it the right way. And then it was always, well,
we'll sign this for a year, then I'll come back
and renegotiate. Guess what, even though we did a much
better job than the company that came before us, and
we're doing it for anywhere between usually thirty to forty
percent less than they were when it came time to
get us close to what they were making and what

(26:23):
they were paying before, they weren't willing to do it
because we'd already proven that we could do the job
for less and do it better than the last group.
This is what I'm talking about. Until you've run a business,
until you've had to look at those bottom lines, until
you've made a three thousand dollars mistake in the field
on an emergency contract and make sure that everybody else

(26:44):
got paid from the gig. But then you don't have
the money you need for a month. Don't talk to
me about how how minute may. If you're running a
business that only pays minimum wage, you're an asshole because
none of us want to pay minimum wage. Well, even
when I was running my company, I did my best
not to pay me wag. Even before it got raised,
I was paying well above minimum wage. And then when

(27:06):
it got raised, I was paying just a little bit
above minimum wage, which is really when I started trying
to go back to my folks and be like, look,
they just raised the minimum wage. These people are not
unskilled workers. They've put a lot they have to do,
require trainings and everything else to be able to keep
their jobs. I need more money from you guys to
be able to keep them willing to work. And nine
times out of ten they weren't willing to do it

(27:27):
because we'd again proven that we could do the job
better for less money. And it happened that way over
and over and over again. So what would happen the
bigger companies that could absorb the shock And already basically
we're getting higher profits than I was started scooping up
my people. Come over here, we'll pay you more. And
it happened over and over and over again. So here

(27:51):
I am, for a decade nearly trying to hold a
company together. I started it in nineteen ninety eight. We
restructured in two thousand and five. It completely closed down
in two thousand and nine. So for eleven years, I'm
grinding my ass off every single day trying to build something,

(28:11):
trying to give people who never thought they could do
this kind of work the opportunity to get into it.
I had people that went to work for me, that
came to work for me that eventually went on to
do full time PD work and everything else, which is fine.
Just like what I do here, it's not just about me.
I've built what I've built because I know that people
have dreams that they're trying to chase, and I relish

(28:31):
in the fact when I can help them catch them,
even if it's only in a small way. Hell Amy
Curtis that writes or still writes with us for a
few more days with Twitchy, is somebody that I've known
in these circles now for almost as long as I've
been doing this. She used to do a podcast all
the time. She's been grinding doing this stuff for almost
as long as I've been doing and now she's managed

(28:52):
to find her lean, get in it, and go pedal
of the firewall until she landed a full time gig.
He's going to be riding for town Hall full time soon.
I absolutely love that, because that's part of why I
do what I do is to let people find out
what their dreams are and see if I can help
them find a way to chase them and eventually maybe

(29:13):
catch them. Sometimes it's like the dog that catches the car.
They get there, they don't really know what to do
with it, and we figure it out together sometimes and
sometimes it even means they move on to other places.

Speaker 16 (29:23):
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Because I know that in some small way I helped
them figure it out. That's part of what all this is.
But to and this is coming from somebody who's donated
much more time than I've ever been paid for. He
hears them at well, if you're only paying minimum wage,
what about people that freelance. Freelancers don't even get minimum wage.

(29:50):
That's the part that nobody talks about.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
Now.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
If you freelance well enough, and you freelance hard enough,
you can make a hell of a lot of money.
Trust me, I've done it. But it's also feast or framing.
Some months. I make really really good money other months,
so I'm like, eh, got just about enough to pay
the bills this month without a pucker factor because it's
freelance work. Even with the set money that I have

(30:14):
coming in from other places. Sometimes things are more expensive.
Sometimes you have surprises that you weren't expecting, like a
nearly four thousand dollars electrical expense after your house trim
to kill you, not once but twice. Oh wait, I'm sorry,
did I say that again? But no, Seriously, all of this,
believe it or not, ties together, because this is the

(30:38):
problem in this country. We don't teach people how to
be entrepreneurs anymore. We don't show people the pathway to
finding whatever their version of the American dream is. We
have given everybody this carbon copy, cookie cutter approach to
what the American dream is supposed to be, which is
the house, the car, the white picket fence, the white

(31:00):
the two point five kids, the forty hour week job
that eventually you can retire from. It doesn't really exist anymore,
whether anybody wants to admit it or not. Now we
can lament the fact that that doesn't really exist anymore,
or we can change, We can adapt, we can grow,
and that's why so many people are doing side gigs
now and eventually, if you're lucky enough, you can make

(31:21):
your side gig, your full time gig.

Speaker 17 (31:28):
And that's just it.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
I mean, everybody makes fun of all these social creators
now that have found you know, they have captured the
lightning in the bottle moments. And the one that I
find the most amazingly hilarious is the chick who was
just goofing off on TikTok one day and just started
acting like she was eating the reaction emojis that she
was getting from people, and then before she knew it,
she had like one hundred thousand dollars payout from TikTok

(31:53):
within like two or three months. As somebody who has
been doing this for a long time, I gotta admit
that one stings a little bit, but I'm glad she
thought of it. I'm glad it worn't because I don't
want people to be broke. I don't want anybody to
be broke. But we don't teach people how not to

(32:13):
be broke anymore. Our schools don't teach that they should,
but they don't, and they don't because they don't want
you to not be broke. What people don't understand because
our government has shifted its focus a bit, primarily the
leftist in our government is dependency creates control. Until they

(32:35):
started importing a whole new crop of folks because they
were starting to lose their yoke on the ones they
had control of for the last fifty sixty years.

Speaker 18 (32:44):
That was it.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
If we get them on these programs, if we get
them this, we get them this, we help them understand
we will take care of you, and then it. I mean,
they're you know, like it or not, we are a
part of nature. Do you not find it interesting that
there's all these signs all over parks and everything else.
Don't feed the ducks, don't do this. Don't do that,
because you're creating dependency. Like it or not. Human beings,

(33:06):
while we consider ourselves a part and above nature, are
actually part of nature. So in reality, we're creating our
own dependency when we start going onto programs like this.
And I've seen this firsthand. For anybody that's about to
start yelling at me, I've seen this firsthand. I've seen
people that I've worked with that are own foodstamps and
other programs that will turn down raises or even leave

(33:29):
the job if the raise is mandatory because it's gonna
cut into their foodstamps. And in reality, they'll lose money
because when they get past a certain point, they take
all the foodstamps away. So instead of letting these things
actually be safety nets to stay in place while somebody
is building past a point where they don't need it anymore,
they create this total need to stay on it. And

(33:53):
I've seen this happen over and over and over again,
and I realize me talking about it just anecdotal evidence.
But I guarantee you, with the few people we have
in the chat right now, and I know the people
that are watching all over the place, I guarantee you
have at least one or two stories that are the
same that you know somebody that you've seen that either

(34:13):
is part of your family or a friend of the family,
or maybe even somebody that you worked with, but was like, dude,
I can't take that. I can't take that promotion. It'll
it'll kill some it'll kill some of what I have
going on over here. When the incentive should be to
make these things available to people who need them and
then help them get off of them so somebody else

(34:37):
can use them. But they don't want that because it's dependency.
And the scariest thing about these programs, all of them,
including self of security. They may have been started with
the best of intentions, and I reserve the right to
call bullshit on that, but for the moment, for the
sake of argument, this is what we're gonna talk about.
They may have been started with the best of intentions,

(34:59):
but once there were folks at the city level, state level,
and even the federal level that started saying, hey, you know,
if you kick that dude to the curb, since you're
not actually married to him, we can get you more
food stamps, and we can help you get a house,
and we can help you do this, and we can
help you do that. Hm.

Speaker 18 (35:18):
No, no, no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
That never should have been a thing, because that's government
starting to social engineer, which nobody really talks about, but
it is a big part of communism social engineering. So
I know I'm all over the place today, but I

(35:41):
promise it's all gonna make sense eventually, or if not,
you know, it happens. Sometimes I think I'm gonna have
this grand idea tie it all together, and then I'm like,
just kidding. But I promise, for the moment, the tracks
all make sense in my head and we'll probably get
there at some point. I don't think I'm gonna take
a break this hour, because I just realized we're already
well through it, and I usually just play music a way,
so I think I'm just gonna keep going. So but look,

(36:04):
all of this ties together, all of it because the
government is social engineering. Insurance companies are social engineering, whether
it's car insurance companies, medical insurance companies. You've got people
that are that are running businesses that shouldn't be for
profit that are that are also social engineering. You don't
believe me, Look at what's going on with our media
that in and of itself is its own version of

(36:25):
social engineering because they're they're they're like running sociology experiments
on their front pages. Because depending on where you get
your news from shows which level of neuroses you actually
have anymore. Because these people that have bought into the
full lie about Trump all of it, think he is
the devil incarnate. The people that think he's the think

(36:50):
he's the Second Coming also drive me a little nuts.
I'm kind of in the middle, going, yeah, dudes, all right,
it's pretty good for the country right now, but he
ain't Jesus. You can you can try to make him
Jesus if you want, but he ain't Jesus. And then
he does something like what he did the other day
that has leftist completely freaking out. And we talked about

(37:11):
it yesterday, a full on, straight up airstrike on a
drug cartel boat, and all the left is like, that's
not an am that they deserve due process. You know,
the Americans that Barack Obama droned overseas, did they deserve
due process? Pretty sure, they're the only ones in this
equation that actually deserve due process, but Barack Obama did

(37:34):
it anyway. So yeah, I think if we're gonna start
having a full on war on drugs, because like it
or not, drugs is another tool of communism, then nobody
really talks about Look at where all these drugs are
coming from. They're coming from places like Vietnam, They're coming
from places like China. I wonder why that is. I

(38:00):
wonder why that is. And I will be honest, for
the longest time, that was why I resisted my inner
little libertarian urge to decriminalize everything, because I realize that
even if pot isn't what people say it is, which
now that it's being you know, basically run through a still,

(38:22):
so to speak, to be made ten twenty thirty times
stronger than it ever was intended to be in nature.
It's kind of becoming that way, whether anybody wants to
admit it or not. But still, it was one of
the reasons why I kind of resisted the urge that
to criminalized for the longest time, because I'm was like,
all this does is make people not want to do anything.

(38:42):
And I will admit, I have my medical card. There
are days when I have to use some and because
of severe pain, and it does work. It works better
than anything else that I've been prescribed for pain, and
it's not addicting, at least not for me. I know
some people that can't get through the day without using,
you know, two three times a day. Me, I just
use it when I absolutely need to sleep and I

(39:05):
can't because my body is like I hate you. But
then I have to admit it usually takes me a
little while to shake it back off again, So I
try not to use it unless I absolutely have to,
and I'll normally limit the amount that I use on purpose.
So I understand all the arguments, and especially now that

(39:27):
we've got the nihilasines things going on the fentanyl thing
going on. I don't trust anything anything, and I think
that's one of the reasons why we need to start
regulating it better. The problem with regulating it better is
it makes it more expensive, which drives people back to
the black market, which is still loaded with all the
stuff that we're trying to get rid of in the
first place. But the what happened in Colorado. Colorado went

(39:50):
legalized everything, then they taxed it so bad that now
it's cheaper to go back to the black market and
buy the stuff you want, and you're still running the
risk of potentially getting something laced with stuff. They can
kill you and make no mistake, they say. And that
was the thing, and that that was the whole argument
in the eighties and the nineties. Well, they're not gonna

(40:11):
do anything to will down to kill off their customers. Yeah,
I have to agree. I actually have the ability to.
I think I need to. Look. I think I can
grow up the five plants since I have my card.
It's just I don't I don't have the time. I

(40:33):
don't have the time. I wish I did. But yeah,
hippijay in YouTube chat, which thanks for hanging out on
YouTube we're still trying to build things up over there.
Our friends over at a c CHR Media, they've absolutely
made their YouTube explode. Minds to like, we're here. But
thanks for chiming in, hippij It's good to know we
have at least some folks to pay attention on YouTube.
And yeah, I have to say this. I know in

(40:54):
Oklahoma it's medical only for now. I know they're trying
to get it. They're trying to get it legalized. They're
balid initiative coming soon. I doubt it'll pass here. They've
tried three or four times. It doesn't ever happen.

Speaker 17 (41:08):
But yeah, exactly busy.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
Same for California. And as he says, always felt it
with a k a legal drow, illegal dope is cheaper
and every bit is refined. Yeah, and again I was
offered the criminalization until they started using it to cut
down on population, which, if you notice the argument for
that's going the other way. Now. We had people for
years telling us that we had too many people and

(41:40):
we had to whittle down the population. Now you've got
people sounding the alarm that we have too few people
being born and that our that our entire civilization is
about to crash. Can we pick a lane and stay
in it? Because I kind of feel like they constantly
want us afraid of something? Am I the only one
that feels that way? Because I kind of kind of
feel that way, and I know why. It's the same

(42:02):
reason why Walmart is changing their lighting scheme and using
a form of light that triggers a fight or flight
response when you're in their stores. I don't think mine's
doing it yet, but I think they're starting to do
it in places where there's more instances of things being stolen.
But it creates this urge to get in get out,

(42:24):
and it also means you're going to be making less
rational decisions while you're shopping because you're just like, I
got to get out of here. I gotta get out
of here. I got to get out of here. But
that's the other thing. Why in the hell is that
even okay for corporations to do. Shouldn't there be laws
against that shit? That you can't put something, you can't
do something inside your store to basically put people into

(42:45):
fight or flight mode. Seems like that should be something
that I mean, first of all, it's weird that I
even have to say we should have laws about that.
But it also seems weird to me that the corporations
are actually starting to think about things like that. It
used to be you you wanted people in your stores,
you wanted people you know, browsing your aisles. You wanted

(43:05):
to put the impulse buys in certain places. So as
they're coming in for the few things that they need,
you talk them into buying other things where they've got
kids with them, They're like, oh, mommy, can we get
some of these? Now it's get your shit and get out.
I mean, and that used to be a joke. Remember
Walter from Jeff Dunham. One of these days, I'm gonna
be a Walmart reader. Hi, thanks for coming to Walmart.

(43:26):
Get your shit and get the fuck out. I feel
like Walmart is becoming a caricature of itself, and it's
using science to do it, which is terrifying. But all
of this all ties together. Look at what's happening with
Cracker Barrel, the big fight over the logo. Nobody was

(43:49):
really talking about the fact that, yeah, they finally save
the logo. The logo is gonna stay the same. The
inside of the stores aren't. They're getting rid of all
the kitchy stuff. They're sterilizing it. And I've talked about
the real reason why it's not necessarily about go woke
or go broke. I mean, they've proven that acxiom true
yet again. But it's because most of these places are franchises.

(44:13):
Because McDonald's and Wendy's and everybody else sells the ability
for you, for a low, low price of usually ten
to fifteen thousand dollars to start a franchise. That doesn't
count all the other stuff you got to do, but
that's how they get you in the door. We can
get you started for fifteen grand, and then it's your store.
You can run however you want. But they actually own
the property underneath, and if the franchise fails, it's really

(44:39):
hard well not really so much with Wendy's, I guess,
but McDonald's. It was really hard to figure out what
to do with those buildings if the franchise fails, because
everybody knows, hey, that used to be a McDonald's, kind
of like dairy Queen's. Dairy Queen's back in the day
had a really distinct look. They really don't anymore. Everything's
going to the same cardboard cutout everything's gray and neutral,

(45:00):
and you know you've got the sign on the side
of the building and blah blah blah, and basically, if
it fails, you just pull the sign off the side
of the buildings, sell it off, and it can become
something else. I've seen it happen all the time. There's
a Carls Junior that I used to go to all
the time when I ran my patrol routes of the
city because it was basically right in between the two

(45:20):
the two areas that I patrol all the time, and
I would always stop there and grab something to eat.
It's now a weed shop because it was again another
one of those kind of nondescript buildings that you can
pretty much turn into everything. So it's not just about
the fact that you know that it's everything's going woke.
It's about ease of construction, it's about ease of supplies,

(45:41):
it's about ease of transition if the franchise fails. But
it's about something else that's a lot more sinister. They're
they're they're destroying the soul of America in a lot
of ways. They are because and I heard this the
other day and I thought it was I thought it
was amazing, but the time is coming where that's not

(46:03):
going to be true anymore. And it's kind of a
triple axiom regarding the US, China and Great Britain. The
US innovates, China duplicates Great Europe litigates and legislates, And
it's true to a point, but we're not really innovating anymore,

(46:25):
not as much as we used to. And where you
see it starting to slip away, believe it or not,
is in the restaurant industry first, because the restaurants, the
stuff that we went to used to be cool, imaginative,
kitchi and it caught everybody's attention, and now it's all

(46:46):
chained and they all look the same. Look at the
outside of a Buffalo Wild Wings that's been built in
the last couple of years. Look at the outside of
a Corllege jun that's been built in the last couple
of years. Look at the outside of a McDonald's that's
all been built within the last couple of years, and
they all basically looked the same. And we went from
having these bright, happy places to everything looking like it's

(47:06):
a middle aged man going through a midlife crisis. But again,
if you'll notice their push for years has been less
inside dining and more come get your shit and get out.
That's why a lot of McDonald's don't have playplaces anymore.
Even the ones that are do that do are absolutely retarded.
I saw one the other day. We talked about it

(47:27):
on Jenerric I think it was last week. We showed
the picture, the video footage of it. It was this
little bitty red thing with I think it was black
floring and it had some sort of poll over in
the corner and a couple of kiosks. Because then we're like,
what the hell is that? That's the playplace. That's the playplace.

(47:48):
But think about that for a second too. How much
how much are they stifling not only creativity but innovation,
And imagine with all of this basically all looking the
same and steering kids to basically even when they come
to a restaurant and they have a chance to play,

(48:10):
to go push buttons on a screen. Now, I'm the
last person to grab about how much somebody spends time
on a screen, because spending time on screens is how
I get paid. It's pretty much how we all get
paid anymore. Whether anybody wants to admit it or not,
but at the same time, there needs to be the
ability and the avenue to be creative away from machines.

(48:35):
I think that's one of the things that my generation
was one of the last ones for a while to
get right. I'm happy to see that a lot of
jen alpha is being forced to go back outside again
and figure things out. And I've seen this in some
of the neighborhoods when I go visit family that's to
live in the city, there are kids going outside again,
and everybody says, that's never really stopped. I can tell

(48:55):
you that even here in Oklahoma, it did for a
long time, because we would make our kids go out
and play and they would have nobody to play with
except for maybe one or two kids that were the same.
And I remember when I was a kid, the whole name,
all the neighborhood was filled with kids, and we were
all out doing crazy stuff, especially in the summer, all

(49:16):
starting it like as soon as the sun comes up,
after we get you know, well, let's say it was Saturday,
this Saturday. Of course you got up before the sun
came up. You turned on your cartoons, you grabbed your cereal,
and you just sat in the living room watching cartoons,
still usually about ten thirty or eleven. Then you went outside,
and then you stayed out until the street lights came on.
And that was I think some of the the most

(49:42):
organic way, I guess is the word I'm looking for
to engage our imaginations because I don't I don't know
about when you were kids, but when I was a kid.
And this is why I always laugh at everybody. They
get so offended when people tell little lies because almost
everybody does it. How I grew up in a generation
where we told each other what are commonly called fish stories,

(50:04):
and we would make them as outrageous as possible, and eventually,
as we got older, became a game where how far
can we stretch this before somebody figures out it's total bullshit?
And that became the name of the game is bullshit.
It's just it really was. We would just see how
far how far we could stretch it and tell everybody's yeah,
that you're you're full of shit, yeah you called me,

(50:27):
or you know. The other thing that we love to
do was insult one another all the time. You know,
the you're so poor jokes, the your mama jokes that
you're so fat jokes that your mama so fat jokes
all of it, because it's it's the time we grew
up in. And I'm not one to say I don't
want to say that we had thicker skin, but I
kind of feel like we did, especially watching what's been

(50:49):
playing out with the Democrats again lately, because of course,
you know, going back to the one of the primary
topics of the show today, they're all wringing their hands
because a bunch of people trying to poison us and
poison our kids didn't get due process. I submit to you,
they weren't entitled to due process. Just being honest, just

(51:14):
because rights are endowed by our creator doesn't mean we
have to recognize people that don't have don't view themselves
as having the same creator as having those same rights.
And I know that is a very harsh thing. People
get pissed off of me for saying this all the time.
But if our rights are endowed by our creator, and
we believe that our creator is the God of Abraham,
Jacob and Isaac, and they don't, then I'm sorry, I don't.

(51:38):
I don't have to. I don't have to, dude. Yeah,
so we're gonna get into it. But that was actually
what I was going to close out the R with.
Did you guys hear about what happened to a comedian
He got arrested in the U in airport in the
UK for an old joke he made about trans people

(52:02):
on AX. It wasn't even anything recent. Now, the same
people that tell you, you know, if you're in, if
you're if you've been in the UK and you've had
to report a crime, then you know what I'm talking about.
For pretty much anything anymore, it's oh, somebody broke in
your house and stold something, file a report with your
insurance company. Oh somebody damaged your car, file follow a
report with your insurance company. We're not sending anybody out

(52:23):
for that, but they will have five actual armed constables
come out and arrest a dude for a joke on
social media. So hearing Starmer scream and kick and yell
about we are still a free speech nation. The Magna
Carta came first, and we still believe in free speech. No,
you don't, don't fucking lie to me. Not only do

(52:44):
you not believe in free speech? If Donald Trump hadn't won,
think about what would be happening here because we were
already headed down that road with Biden. Think about how
much worse it would have been with Kami Lamahamasnik or
I'm who or whoever had control of the prompter and
the pin, because we know it would have been another
rule by committee on an actual president. And that, I

(53:07):
think is the part that I find so amusing because
and I missed this because I was unplugged for a
lot of the weekend because I don't usually do political
shows on Saturday or Sunday, so I missed this whole.
Donald Trump fell off the radar for three days, and
the media went nuts and they're like, oh my god,
where did you go? And they're like, you know, they
seem to forget that, you know, there was like more

(53:27):
than one, three, four or five six days, man, where
nobody saw Joe Biden. It was fine back then, but
it was fine for them because they knew the country
was being run by committee, so they didn't have to
worry about where Joe Biden was. Donald Trump has his
finger on the pulse of everything this administration is doing
and is actually actively staring it. So when he disappeared
for three days, everybody on the left went from oh

(53:49):
my God, what just happened? And ready to go to Oh,
I hope he's not dead win quin nudge, nudge, I
think so. Stephen Miller.

Speaker 18 (53:59):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (53:59):
I have a love hate relationship with Steven Miller because
sometimes he trolls so well and other times I'm like,
did you really just take a flying leap over that
line again? Because yeah, as soon as Donald Trump started
putting out post, you know, disputing his death, Stephen Miller,
you know who else was gone for three days and

(54:20):
came back again. Really, dude, really, you just you just
had to do that. You just had to do that. Huh.
That's another one though, and that that's one of the
things that I don't like is watching people that started

(54:42):
out doing this stuff about the same time that that
I did. In a lot of ways, not mad that
they made it bigger than me. I don't care about
any of that, but I do get irritated with the
fact that it seems like at some point they start
out out kicking their coverage as far as their common sense,
and they just go completely nuts. Case in point, although
we're nowhere near in the same league, or we weren't,

(55:04):
is Tucker Carlson. I've always kind of had a love
hate relationship with that man, to be honest, But then
I started paying a lot more attention to him when
he started talking about UFOs on Fox News. And that's
actually what inspired the show duxtaposition, because one night I
was completely just burned out on politics, and the fact
that I saw somebody on national television openly talking about UFOs,

(55:26):
which started reshaping the entire conversation, kind of had that
show be born. And now I can't I really want
to support him because he's off doing his own thing.
He's planted his own flag, he's doing what I'm trying
to do. Granted he's able to do it on a
much larger scale, but he's also had to jump the

(55:47):
shark to stay there if that's what it takes to
make it on your own anymore. Because I've seen that
time and time and time again, I think I'm fine
with stay in the middle of the pack long as
I can pay my bills, because I've seen it happen
over and over and over again, and I'm just wondering,

(56:09):
at some point, does some part of your brain switch off,
and you're just like, I have to hold on to
the views. I have to hold on to the money.
I have to do this. I have to do that
because if I'm gonna be honest, I have to wonder
if I ever get too big, is everybody started looking
at me? I remember when he actually was in an asshole.

(56:31):
Good luck with that, by the way. But no, seriously,
It's just something that I've been struggling with lately as
I've been trying to figure out how to grow all
this stuff. I'm like, what happens if it gets so
big that I turned into one of these people that
I talk about every day. I hope that means I won't,
but I've seen it happen so often that I just
feel like there's some point where you just go, eh.

(56:54):
I mean, I've even seen it with the Middle of
the Road folks. You know, there's a group that we
used to collaborate with that I figured out some of
the stuff earlier on faster than they did, and they
came to me and started asking me, how did you
do this? How did you do that? And I started

(57:15):
telling them how to do it because I was like,
I figured it out, Why the hell can't I help
you figure it out? So then at some point and
then once I helped them, they kind of passed me
and they figured out something that I was struggling with.
So I went to the same guy that I helped originally, saying, Hey,
how did y'all figure this out? Oh, I'm sure you'll
get there. I'm sure you'll get there. Unfortunately, that group

(57:40):
barely exists anymore, much like a lot of the folks
that were in this space when I first started trying
to carve out my niche and it we're one of
the last ones standing. It's not because we're doing great.
It's not because we've got lots of money coming in.
I mean, like I said, I can pay my bills
most of the time, so it's nothing that drastic yet.
But a lot of them don't exist anymore. I'm just

(58:04):
too stubborn to quit, and I find little sideways to
make money while I'm doing all of this that don't
involve the boats that just.

Speaker 17 (58:15):
Got blown up.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
For some of you that were about to make a
smart ass comment because I know it was coming anyway,
says we didn't take the break. We're gonna go and
take one now because I need more coffee and probably
another cough drop because I'm still dealing with voice issues.

My dad is really really special and I love my
dad law I'm proud of him and that even though
he isn't here with us, but he died as a
true hero.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
I much everything about him.

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
In the moment that the officers and I had to
come see the children, my biggest reaction was, I don't
have seven arms. I have seven children who just lost
their I don't have seven arms to wrap around them.

Speaker 5 (01:01:03):
I'm Frank Sola, chairman of the steven Sila Tunnel to
Talis Foundation. Our foundation is committed to delivering mortgage free
homes for gold Star families and fall and first respond
to families.

Speaker 6 (01:01:14):
To not have to worry financially is a huge peace
of mind. The thought of what in the world will
I possibly do to pay the bills? How will I
possibly let the children have a life that feels normal.
I don't want them to have to quit their piano
lessons or their basketball. I don't want them to feel
that we have to move into a little apartment and
struggle financially.

Speaker 7 (01:01:33):
In addition to the emotional weight.

Speaker 8 (01:01:35):
There are one thousand families that need our help. Tunnel
to Talis is honoring those heroes that risk their lives
by providing them with mortgage free homes.

Speaker 6 (01:01:43):
Those who serve us and then lay down their lives
protecting our freedoms and our safety. The least we can
do is eleven dollars a month to give them that
piece of always knowing there's a home. There's that sanctuary
when life feels like it's been tipped upside down, because
it has, when you lose a parent, line of duty,
to know you can go.

Speaker 7 (01:02:02):
Home, you can be safe, there's no risk of losing
your home.

Speaker 6 (01:02:05):
That's a peace of mind that I can't believe you
can get for eleven dollars a month.

Speaker 8 (01:02:09):
I'd like to ask you to contribute eleven dollars a
month to support their efforts.

Speaker 5 (01:02:14):
Please donate eleven dollars a month by calling one eight
four four bravest or visit Tunnel to Towers dot Org.

Speaker 9 (01:02:34):
Independence. With that declaration, America was born.

Speaker 10 (01:02:42):
Inspired by a belief in the god given rights of
every human being, that among these are life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. Our government was established to secure
these rights and for the good it comes from exercising them. Well,

(01:03:05):
this is why the founders of our great nation chose independence,
as do we. Hillsdale College accepts no government funding because
independence makes possible the good to which we aspire. Hillsdale

(01:03:25):
College pursuing truth and defending liberty since eighteen forty four.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
As of now, if you are enjoying the show, make
sure you're sharing the feed. Tell your friends about us.
We're still trying to break through the dreaded algorithms, and
it looks like restream has figured out if there's an
issue with the X numbers. So sometimes I can't see
how many people are paying attention until afterwards. So for
those of you that are watching on X, come say
hi so I know you're there, even if it's just

(01:07:28):
a thumbs up, so I can start trying to work
on finding accurate counts because reasons. But anyway, busy to
answer your question, I will be singing it at some point,
but when I do, it'll be probably put out of
a cover because if I'm gonna do what, I'm gonna
do it right now, probably in the next one, probably
after we get through Jokes Ober, because September and October

(01:07:50):
kind of busy months for me. Because for those of
you that are new around here, I do a conspiratoryment
show over two weeks on Saturdays. Saturday Night's called Juxtaposition
with My for Nordon it's j Packard And in October
we do a show every Saturday and usually pick some
sort of Halloween related theme. We're still narrowing it down.

(01:08:11):
I think we're down to like two or three and
then I think once we get through the episode for
this Saturday, we'll start we'll finish up figuring out which
one we're going to talk about. So anyway, Yeah, at
some point I'll have to send you a cover that
I did with with a crappy mic, but it was

(01:08:35):
still pretty good anyway. But anyway, so we got to
talk about this though, because remember what I said earlier
that the media is using their platform to conduct sociology experiments.
I have receipts. I have receipts. Hang on, I'm trying

(01:08:59):
to get this on the screen. So this is something
that has been making around since last night. We talked
about it a little bit on Rick and Ordy, but
I'm gonna pull since it's already coordinated fairly well, I'm
want to pull it for a red State article. So
this is Jennifer Bendry, who happens to be a member
of the media, and I quote a DC resident, shared
this photo she took at Union Station yesterday. It looks

(01:09:22):
like a scene from a Handmaid's Tale. But no, just
another day of Trump's militarization of DC right now hashtag
under his eye. Funny thing happened though, you know, first
of all, see the really scary guy, you know, waving
at the camera. Absolutely terrifying, although his resemblance to goose

(01:09:44):
from top gun anyway. Sorry, but so then this happened
an apologies for the scrolling. I know some of you
were like, I hate when you do that, but everything's
all in the same place. So this is from Bob
Johnson replying directly to her, who zoomed in capture this

(01:10:05):
and then put it aside by side of her own
mug from her profile, like that's literally you, you staged
a stupid photo for your own shitty article question mark.
And apparently, yes, that's exactly what happens. So she has
inserted herself into the story. Oh and there you see

(01:10:32):
them both together side by side, because Bonchie was like, Eh,
you're gonna try to lead this, aren't you. Let me
make sure you can't anyway. So yeah, sometimes, oh look,
I'm gonna be honest, you know, just like the author
of the piece just tried to point out, which I
believe was Bonchie. I think I'm pretty sure I didn't

(01:10:56):
really pay that much attention, but yeah, it was so
so yeah, I'm not really a facial recognition expert or
anything either, And it's not like I ran this thing
through facial wreck. I don't have the ability to do that. Anyway,
I thought about grabbing the picture and seeing if GROC could,
you know, verify whether it was the same person or not.
But you can kind of tell my looking, so it's

(01:11:17):
you don't really need to that's her. She inserted herself
in her own story and only managed to do two.
There was there was one other person. She was one
of them. You're going to try to make it Handmaid's
tale first. Of all, those of us that were perfectly
fine with Project twenty twenty five voted for this. I'm

(01:11:38):
still waiting for my handmaidens, by the way, But yeah,
so shouldn't there have been more than two? That's kind
of what I said, busy right there. I'm just gonna
put it on the screen. Oh but yeah, so sociology experiments.

(01:12:08):
Sociology experiments, speaking of which, since I haven't done that yet,
even though he technically beat me to it, let me
put this out, all right, So let's see what other

(01:12:39):
trouble we can get into. Oh so, I'm not sure
what happened. I don't know if ACB finally came out
of her brain dead coma, but she actually actually said
something fairly smart together day doesn't happen often, and I'm
not sure how I feel about it. But so this

(01:13:03):
is again from our friends at Red State. This is
Katie Jerkovic Amy Coney Barrett, as we call her around here.
ACB fire shot across the bout activist judges. You're not kings,
So Supreme Court Justice ACB threw a shot across the
bow at fellow activist judges, warning them that they are
not kings, but simply referees who decide whether people have

(01:13:24):
played by the rules that are already established. In an
article for The Free Press written by Barret herself, this
coatish justice reflected on our jurisprudence, making it clear that
her personal views have no place dictating what happens when
she's sitting in the highest court of the land, nor
do any other justices. First of all, I can call
a little bit of bs on that because it happens

(01:13:47):
with her still. But I find it interesting that she's
calling them out because that's always kind of been my
position on all this stuff. Sorry, I had to be done.
If you're not paying attention to the chat, it's not
my fault anyway. Look, that's just it. That's the part

(01:14:10):
that nobody seems to understand. Yes, separate but equal, coequal
branches of government. But the judges are supposed to be
the referees between the two sides to make sure that
nobody's you know, not following the rules. That's kind of
how it's always supposed to have been. You've got the
executive branch, the legislative branches, and the judge in the
middle going heyo, eo yo, you all overstepped a little bit.

(01:14:31):
You need to reel that back in. That's how that's
always supposed to have worked, and that's not how it
works anymore. That's not how it works anymore. And the
fact that ACB, who I've actually heard in some of
the audio during the skot of stuff, who has in
fact injected opinion, who's now saying, yeah, we got to
stop doing that. I don't know if it's because she's

(01:14:53):
figured out that even she has gone a little too
far one side or the other, or if it's because
she trying to get attention. I guess we'll find out
soon enough, because there's lots of stuff about to be
kicking off with the Supreme Court again. Because speaking of which,
let's get into this. So the legal battle over Trump's
tariffs are are as heating up because there's been a

(01:15:16):
recent ruling from an appeals court, So the Trump administration
on Wednesday asked the Supreme Court to quickly determine whether
the president has the authority to impose sweeping tariffs, which
were invalidated by a lower court. In the seven to
four decision last week, the US Court of Appeals for
the Federal Court our Federal Circuits struck down most of
President Trump's tariffs as illegal. The core congressional power to

(01:15:37):
impose taxes such as tariffs is vested exclusively in the
legislative branch by the Constitution. The court said tariffs are
a core congressional power. The decision did not take effect immediately, however,
because with the ruling being paused, this gives Trump until
October fourteenth, giving the administration time to bring the case

(01:15:57):
before the Supreme Court. And it's The Trump administration argued
striking the tariffs down would jeopardize both already negotiated framework
deals and ongoing negotiations with other countries. The stakes in
this case could not be higher. So, and I quote
Solicitor General d John Sewer, I'm sorry. Sower asked the

(01:16:20):
justices to decide by September tenth, whether to review the
case and the schedule oral arguments for the first week
of November, just one month after the court's new term begins.
If the Justices accept the case, it would be the
first to reach the Court in mister Trump's second term
that directly tests the legality of one of the administrations
significant initiatives or signature initiatives, rather than addressing the president's

(01:16:44):
actions on a temporary emergency basis. Since taking office, mister
Trump has relied on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act
of nineteen seventy seven, is a central part of his
efforts to force companies to invest in the United States.
Without the emergency powers, the President and his advisors had
warned of major damage to the nation's economy, military power,
and diplomatic relations, particularly if the government were forced to

(01:17:07):
pay back some of the billions of dollars it is
already collected in tariffs. The lower Court's erroneous decision has
disrupted highly impactful, sensitive ongoing diplomatic trade negotiations and cast
a pale of legal uncertainty over the President's efforts to
protect our country by preventing an unprecedented economic and foreign
policy crisis, the Solicitor General told the justices in his

(01:17:29):
request for highly expedited review. All right, so we've got
a clip from PTUs that will be playing give me
a second, and we have a.

Speaker 22 (01:17:47):
Very very big case in the Supreme Court. I can
only say this. Our country has a chance to be
unbelievably rich again, but it can also be unbelievably poor again.

Speaker 9 (01:18:00):
If we don't win that case, our country.

Speaker 22 (01:18:04):
Is going to suffer so greatly, so the Raco plans.
But I think we're going to have a big victory.
Even if you look at the people that brought the case,
they're farign oriented. Countries have taken advantage of the United
States for so many years.

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
And he's not wrong. And this is what I mean.
I'll be honest. I was kind of on the fence
with this stuff until I saw how badly the left
was fighting against it. Because if you want to know,
you want to know the truth about anything, look at
any bill of the left proposes, pay attention to what
they name it, and just come to terms with the
fact that it's going to do the exact opposite. So
every time they tell you that, oh my god, if

(01:18:45):
Donald Trump is allowed to do this, he's going to
destroy the economy. Look what's been happening to our economy instead.
Now there are a lot of folks complaining about the
job numbers, but under Biden, there were really only two
places job were increasing. One federal government, which is slowly,
even more slowly than I would like, being trimmed down

(01:19:07):
a little bit, and also foreign born workers. So of
course there's going to be a bit of a slowdown
when those were your two biggest places you were pulling
jobs from, and honestly, taking jobs from the public the
public sector or a private sector and moving them into
the public sector is basically just playing a shell game
because that's not really job creation. It's expansion of the

(01:19:30):
federal government, which is not job creation and in fact
is actually quite terrible in my opinion. But what do
I know. But yeah, it'll be interesting to find out
what happens. I don't think I don't see the Supreme
Court reversing this, honestly because of the law that's being used.

(01:19:51):
But I've been wrong before, all right, So this is
from Leo over at town Hall. There's been a large
seizure of meth precursor chemicals. So let's find out what's
going on with that? So the Trump administration on Wednesdays
out of the seizure of more than three hundred thousand
kilos of precursor chemicals used to make meth amphetamine, the

(01:20:14):
largest bust of such chemicals ever made by US law enforcement.
US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Janine Piro, released
a video showing her at the Port of Houston surrounded
by one three hundred barrels of the precursors which were
shipped from China. Why are we not seizing Chinese assets
at this point? I'm just being honest. I mean, they

(01:20:37):
are trying to kill us, and this has been proven
over and over and over again. It's time we stopped
treating them like a friend and start treating them like
an enemy, in my opinion. So they were shipped from
China intending to reach clandestine labs in Mexico controlled by
the Siniloa drug cartel, which also needs to be wiped
off the map in my opinion. Because President Trump and

(01:20:59):
Secretary Ruby so declared the Sinaloa cartel a foreign terrorist organization,
we can now strike faster and hit harder, she said.
And need I remind you of the gun camera footage
of the boom boom boat. If you want to know
just how much faster and harder we're going to be striking,
I know, Geggy. The chemicals which originated in and were

(01:21:20):
sent from China could have been used to produce nearly
one hundred and ninety thousand kilos of methan fetamine worth
about five hundred and sixty nine million dollars, so over
half a billion dollars if they had reached their intended destination. Instead,
agents seized six count them, six shipping containers of benzel alcohol,

(01:21:42):
a solvent used in the manufacturer of pharmaceuticals weighing one
hundred and sixty undred eighty kilos, and six shipping containers
of N methyl form a form a nine, another liquid
organic solvent, weighing one thousand and one hundred and fifty
one thousand, five hundred akilos. To put this in perspective,

(01:22:03):
the impact of this seizure. In fiscal year twenty twenty four,
the US cost of border protection seized a total of
seventy eight thousand, nine hundred and twenty five kilos of
meth am fetamine along the entire southwest border in order
to transport the chemicals from port to a secure HSI
storage facility that took twenty four eighteen wheeler trucks to

(01:22:24):
transport the sheer volume of precursor chemicals. In twenty twenty three,
more than thirty four thy eight hundred Americans died from
overdoses from psychostimulants, primarily meth amphetamine. The US Attorney's Office
for the District of Columbia obtained the seizure warrant that
provided the legal authority to seize the chemicals because the
Administration designated this Inaloa cartel as a foreign terrorist organization

(01:22:47):
on January twenty at twenty twenty five, and it was
about fucking time. The designation provides federal prosecutors in the
district the authority to execute the seizure under the Terrorism
Forfeiture Provision. All Right, I know we just kind of
read through it, but I'm still going to play the
video anyway, or the clip anyway.

Speaker 23 (01:23:11):
Hi everyone, I'm Judge Shanin, and I am in Houston, Texas,
and I am surrounded by thirteen hundred barrels of precursors
that are being used to make methamphetamines. These precursors were
seized as a result of work by my office in Washington,
DC along with Homeland Security and Customs and Border Patrol.
These thirteen hundred barrels were shipped from Shanghai, China to Mexico.

(01:23:37):
We intercepted these precursors on the high seas and now
the Cineloa cartel will not be able to use them
to make metham veterans. And the bottom line is this,
whenever there is an effort on the part of foreign
terrorist organizations to create drugs that are killing Americans, we
will seize them, whether it's on the high seas or

(01:23:59):
whether it's in the country or a foreign country. And
by the way, it's going to take twenty four eighteen
wheelers twenty four eighteen wheelers to take all of these
containers and put them in a secure storage facility. And
that's what we're doing in DC, but we're doing it
in Houston today and you never know where we're.

Speaker 17 (01:24:18):
Going to be tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
Point of order. That is literally a metric shit tone busy,
but you weren't too far off. I would also like
to point out that the entire operation would have been
a lot cheaper with one ship to ship cruise missile
since they interredicted this stuff on the ices. Just pointing

(01:24:43):
that out. Although being able to show people exactly what
they've done rather than just blowing them up, probably going
to be more of a strategic win than anything. Can
you imagine, dude, I guarantee you.

Speaker 17 (01:24:55):
I hope.

Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
I hope all these people have like top flight secret service,
because the Cineloa cartel just lost half a billion dollars.
Just lost half a billion dollars, dude, That's one of

(01:25:18):
the points I was about to make. We're talking about
hundreds of thousands of kilos people can be killed by
a pen drop ord that this stuff being soaked through
the skin. Think about how many doses. I mean, I
know we're not necessarily talking about fentanol in this case,

(01:25:38):
but you know they eventually laced this stuff with fentanyl anymore,
because you know, if you do it right, it just
enhances the high. No, there's a fifty to fifty shot
you're gonna kill somebody, which is weird. I talked about
this earlier. It makes no sense to me because it
used to be about getting them hooked so they come back.
Now it's like there's some sort of weird agreement between

(01:25:58):
China and the cartels that you know, they're willing to
cut their customer base potentially in half. But I know
why China's doing it. We've talked about it on the
show before. Everybody seems to forget what we were doing
to China in regards to poppies. There's a reason they
keep picking things that are either derivatives of or synthetics

(01:26:19):
of opiates to try to kill us with. For the
most part, they're sending a message. But yeah, when you
see is that much and you can track it back
to China, we're gonna have to take the gloves off
with those crazy fuckers. I if you watch the parade
from the other day, I kind of understand why we
haven't yet because Russia likes to pretend they're still the

(01:26:41):
world power. China still is. I don't know for how
much longer. And if we actually started applying pressure in
the right places, I don't know for how much longer
they could stand. But this whole I I mean, we've
been the ones propping them up. We're mad at everybody
for doing business with Russia, but we've been the ones
primarily up China, and China is literally trying to kill us.

(01:27:04):
I mean, Vladimir's trying to rebuild the Soviet Union, which
I'm sorry. You know, at the end of the day,
we still have a large ocean between us. So while
that's a terrible thing, it's not an imminent danger to us.
China is, in fact an imminent danger to us. And
they prove it over and over and over again. We're

(01:27:27):
in no, no, no, no, We're in an unconventional war
with China. It's not even a cold war anymore. This
just proved it. This just proved it. That amount of
a seizure proves that we are in unconventional warfare with China.
It's not a cold war. It's a hot war. They're

(01:27:48):
just using unconventional means to whittle us down. That's the
other thing, dude, especially with everything that we know now.
Sorrum responding to the chat for those of you that
are listening to the audio version later, so you're like,
what the hell is he talking to himself? No, but
b Bezi just made a hell of a point. China
had zero repercussions for the intentional release of Wuhan nineteen.

(01:28:13):
And here's the point where I know, how do you
know it was intentional? At some point, even if the
release internally to China was an accident, they made an
internal decision to lock down the province for internal travel
but allow external travel even if it started as an
accident and didn't end that way. That's my only point.

(01:28:42):
But yeah, so I don't know. I just I mean,
don't get me wrong. I'm glad to see that we're
finally starting to do something about this stuff. I just
wish it didn't take you know, this long to get there.
So we're gonna take the music monologue break here in
just a second, And I'm not sure what I'm playing yet,

(01:29:02):
so let me find out, all right, So I have
no idea what this is gonna be. I'm just I'm

(01:29:23):
kind of in an eighties kick again. So I found
something on YouTube that kind of looks like a mixtape
talking about eighties songs. So we're gonna go with that.
So give me just a moment here. So if it sucks,
it's not really my fault.

You come on, I.

Speaker 20 (01:33:26):
Said Lo, Lo, and welcome back into the program, ladies

(01:34:18):
and gentlemen. That was don't you Forget about Me?

Speaker 1 (01:34:21):
From Simple by Simple Minds, best known as the song
in the Breakfast Club and was number one on the
charts May eighteenth to May twenty fifth, nineteen eighty five.
I hope everybody's having a great Friday. Eve, Yeah, make
sure wondering. I actually used to do that too, back

(01:34:42):
in the day. I don't play on that side very
often anymore, but I used to, which is why occasionally
I come back like I still know what I'm doing
over there. Anyway, So we're back, We're live. I hope
everybody's having a great Friday. And do that song that
that song? Funny thing about that song so that that

(01:35:02):
was one of those Facebook games from like twenty twenty
into twenty twenty one, and it was like the number
one song in nineteen eighty five on the day you
were born? Will be how your twenty twenty goes this
speaking which are twenty twenty one, and this is as

(01:35:23):
I'm actively going through a divorce, and that was the
number one song in nineteen eighty five on the day
I was born?

Speaker 17 (01:35:31):
Did I mention?

Speaker 1 (01:35:31):
I think God has a peculiar sense of humor when
it comes to me. But I've learned. I've learned to
be as plucky comic relief and do my best anyway.
Bored yeah, anyway, So the fact that that was the
first song that came up and I didn't even pick it,
and then I'm like, oh, yeah, so anyway, but yeah,

(01:35:59):
so we are into the final segments of the Thursday edition.
Don't forget to come back tonight. This is the Culture
Shift nights, So Brad and the Amish one will be
kicking things off at eight thirty pm Eastern. Jen and
I should be live by ten pm Eastern doing Jen
and Rick. Then don't forget to hang out for Bez's
Berserk Bobcats a little while. We want the clicks on

(01:36:20):
our X feet as well. I also usually have a
code so you can basically scan it and find the
link to their YouTube and go hang out where they
actually hang out and chat and have fun. But because
he's actually going to be live with us tonight instead
of memory X like we usually do on Wednesday nights, anyway, dude, Yeah,

(01:36:44):
it still is amazing to me. Thirteen hundred barrels of
meth precursor? Am I the only one that just kind
of can't get past that? That's a lot. That's a lot.
Oh all right, so I gotta say that this and
right now it's in Rumerville. But I'm starting to see

(01:37:05):
more and more reports of it on places like Fox
and social media. Apparently Donald Trump is dipping his toe
into electioneering in New York City.

Speaker 17 (01:37:15):
And I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:37:16):
He's a New Yorker, he loves New York City, doesn't
want to see it fall to the Kamis, but he's
picking Cuomo. Really, if I were the Republican mayor for
a Republican candidate for mayor, I would be pissed because
apparently what's happening is Trump wants it to be a

(01:37:37):
two man race between Mondameia Kami and Cuomo the Homo.

Speaker 9 (01:37:42):
Ummm.

Speaker 1 (01:37:42):
So he's doing everything he can to try to get
the other two to leave, including a potentially and allegedly
offering them spots in the administration. Now, I get that
the Republican doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell, but
he has a better chance with a three three way
race splitting the dim vote. And I'm sorry, unlike Washington,

(01:38:05):
d C. I think, Paul, I think people that vote
for shit need to start getting what they vote for,
whether it be good or bad, because that's what we
scream about on our side. Is this what we voted
for when you're trying to stop it. It's the reverse.
We do the same thing for them. You know what,
if that's what they want to vote for, and they're
not willing to come forward and say, we know this
wasn't how this election was supposed to go, and somebody

(01:38:27):
needs to figure out what's going on so we can
finally fix it once and for all, and they just
they just stay with it. Then they need to get
what they vote for. Cities and states need to start
standing with the consequences of how their population votes, rather
than having the big brother federal government step in and go, oh,
we know you guys don't really want this, so we're

(01:38:47):
going to do this anyway, because I'm sorry. The only
way that these people are ever going to be able
to stand up for themselves is if you make them
stand up for themselves. And this is even from my
friends in Commie Fournia. There are a lot more people
that live in red areas than there are in blue areas,

(01:39:07):
just because the blue areas are more densely populated, and
because everything's rigged against you in that state, make a
decision either fight to change it or leave so you
can have a voice again. We can't keep playing these
games by the same rules that we've always played them.
This whole idea, and this is what pisses me off

(01:39:28):
because on our side, like right now, we're pissed off
because the Democrats won't let any of Trump's nominees go through.
And then half the time, after they've used every single
trick in the book to make it last as long
as possible, a lot of them are getting voted ninety
seven to three. So why do all that shit in
the first place, Because it slows down, it slows things down,
it comes up the works. It's their way of trying

(01:39:49):
to prove to their constituency that hates Trump because that's
what they've been told they're supposed to do. No matter
what he does, dude could cure cancer tomorrow and they
would hate him. Look at everything that's happened with the economy.
We've got the lowest gas prices in forever. We've got
food prices finally starting to slowly make their way back
down again, not counting some of the stuff that's going

(01:40:10):
on with the tariffs. And I firmly believe there are
certain corporate entities that are using the tariffs to their
advantage to make up for their court for their shortfalls.
But this whole idea of big big Brother continuing to
put their their thumbs on the scales, and it's fine
when our side does it, but it's terrible when their

(01:40:30):
side does it pisses me off because we need to
pick a We need to pick a lane and stay
in it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:41):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:40:41):
If this is what we're going to do from now
on is just election electioneer everywhere, then fine, let's let's
pick that lane. Let's run with it, pedal to the firewall.
Let's go. But quit pussy footing around about it. Either
we're either going to decide that we're all in or
we're all out something. We got to do something different
than what we've been doing. This whole idea that the

(01:41:02):
President of the United States is behind the scenes trying
to pull strings to make sure that somebody doesn't get
elected Mayor. We hated it when Obama was doing that shit.
We hated it when Obama was doing that shit. That's
half the reason the Tea Party was born. Well, and

(01:41:23):
a bunch of grifters who found a way to make
money who are now Democrats. But we hated that shit.
They're gonna I mean, this is coming from somebody who
had to use tough love and it was really hard
to do. And you guys know this story, at least
part of it. I've never told the whole story, and

(01:41:44):
I probably never will. But my oldest son got mixed
up in stuff fairly early on that put him on
the wrong path, and with the job that I used
to do, the fact that I was somehow unaware of
the things that he was doing actually still astounds me
to this day. With my recallability and everything else, I
had a total blind spot when it comes to what
this kid was doing until it blew up in my face.

(01:42:07):
And eventually I just had to look at him and like, look, dude,
you're an adult. Night you got to figure it out.
I can't help you anymore. You have to figure it
out on your own. That was the hardest thing that
I ever did, but it was the best thing that
I ever did, because I proved to him that I
would still be there if he absolutely needed me, with

(01:42:27):
minimal help if necessary. And he found his way. He's married,
he's got three kids, got a great job, good house,
all the things that we keep telling everybody that the
American dream is. My oldest son has found a way
to it. This is a kid that I was pretty
sure I was gonna have to identify on a slab someday.

(01:42:50):
And when it started changing is when I started standing
up to him and his mom about his life choices.
Sometimes you got to let people fall down, especially if
they're addicted to shit. And that's the other part of
this that nobody talks about. There is addiction going on
with these food stamps and these Section eight vouchers and

(01:43:11):
all these different things. It creates a dependency what's another
word for dependency, folks, And it's hard to get off
of them. As a matter of fact, you get some
of the same fear responses when you're even presented with
the opportunity to potentially get off of them. We talked
about this earlier. I know people that have turned down
promotions have left jobs because they started getting raises again,

(01:43:33):
whether they wanted them or not. So they took a
job somewhere else so their pay rate could stay the same,
so they could hang on to their benefits. There are
different types of addiction. Our government is creating dependency. Our
federal government is creating dependency. This is why I haven't

(01:43:55):
really been on board with the whole idea of sending
folks into blues blue states with the National Guard. I
think Donald Trump should be doing something completely different. There
are five red states that have a blue city that
is a blight on that entire state. Talk to those
governors and be like, do you want my help cleaning
this up? And then watch the blue cities and the

(01:44:18):
blue states going we want that too. It's already starting.
You had the mayor of DC talking about how this
was authoritarian overreach, and now she's fine with it. She's
still grumbling behind closed doors, but she's publicly supporting it
because her constituency loves the fact that they can walk
down the street without getting mugged. And it's just that simple.

(01:44:44):
It's just like Bez just put in the chat. You
must let people be responsible for their lives. There must
be consequences for life choices, otherwise life becomes meaningless. People
learn nothing from continuous enabling. And that's kind of my point.
Our government enables these people, but it's because it creates dependency,

(01:45:07):
and they need you dependent on them. I mean exactly.
The only way they're ever going to find out this
shit doesn't work is if people stop trying to block
what they're voting for. And I get it conservative folks

(01:45:29):
like Amish in California. They're pissed off when I say
things like this because you don't understand the number of
people that actually think the way we do in that
state that don't have a voice because of how they've
engineered everything. That's not my fault. You guys fell asleep
at the switch and allowed it to be engineered that way.

Speaker 17 (01:45:45):
I didn't do it.

Speaker 1 (01:45:46):
You can be pissed off at me for telling you
that you didn't fix it. It's not my problem, but
it doesn't change the fact that you didn't fix it.
And it's not my problem because it's not the crime
in Chicago. Oh, isn't my problem. The fact that the
mayor of Chicago is blaming guns for the crime problems
in Chicago is astounding to me. He said this just

(01:46:09):
the other day. The only reason the reason we have
such a high crime problem in Chicago is because of
all the illegal guns that are coming in from Red States.
It's like the guns walk themselves across the border, jumped
into somebody's belt, was jumped into somebody's fucking waistband and said,
come on, let's go pop a cap in these bitches.
The guns didn't do that. This is the problem. They

(01:46:33):
keep blaming everything else but their choices. You can't do that,
not for long, because eventually real life was gonna smack
you in the face. I know because it's smacked me
in the face more than once. Have you seen this face?
Have You don't look that close. It's scary. But we

(01:46:58):
have to start letting some of these cities states live
in their consequences, because the only way it's ever going
to be fixed is if they see, hey, this shit
didn't actually work. The problem is I think DC might
finally be waking up, but it terrifies me that it
took almost fifty years for them to get there. Actually
over fifty years, because nobody talks about this either, at

(01:47:19):
least nobody but me. The fact that Democrats have run
the city of Washington, d C. Which was never really
supposed to be a thing. By the way, it was
always supposed to be its own little federal sub enclave
unto itself. But you know, at some point people got
what they wanted. The Democrats have ran that shithole, and
I said what I said. For over fifty years, they

(01:47:43):
have supposedly passed. All of these things that were supposed
to help with the housing crisis, is the homeless crisis,
is the crime crises, all of these things, and even
though all of them got passed, none of them did
anything because the same thing had that happens in California
happens in DC. Because you have all of these things
that people vote for and then the legislative body holds

(01:48:06):
up in implementation citing some sort of a regulation that
wasn't addressed properly by the new legislation. And Grock and
I had an argument about this for like four hours
until I finally made it even understand that at some
point you have to see that the people that are
voting Democrat in DC are voting Democrat in DC because

(01:48:29):
the Democrats keep saying, vote for us, and we'll fix
this mess. They've had fifty years to fix it. Ain't
nothing been fixed. And that's why the mayor is suddenly
doing a one to eighty about everything that she said
about Trump bringing in the National Guard, because like it
or not, the media doesn't have control of all the
information anymore. There are people with cell phones recording things.

(01:48:53):
Since this has been going on going this is the
first time in three years that I've been able to
walk from point A to point B without being accosted
by fourteen homeless people without somebody trying to say, hey man,
you you.

Speaker 18 (01:49:05):
Bit.

Speaker 1 (01:49:06):
And now you've got other folks, and I'm seeing it
in Chicago. People are doing man on the Street interviews
with people in Chicago, people of color in Chicago, that
are like, yeah, we kind of want some of that here,
will be nice to feel safe again. Then you've got
the mayor of Chicago blaming the guns. You've got JB
that's no moon, that's my ass. Pritzker blaming Donald Trump.

Speaker 18 (01:49:26):
Thing.

Speaker 1 (01:49:26):
You can't you can't do this, So fine, don't do
it there. First, they keep saying why aren't you doing
this stuff here? So take that argument away from them.
Talk to the red steak governors that have blate blue
city problems and go fix those, because then you're gonna
have that whole kid pressed up against the window of
the toy store syndrome going on going, I want me

(01:49:49):
some of what's in there, instead of people fighting you
about it. This, this is what and this is starting
to frustrate me. Donald Trump may not have been a
politician in twenty fifteen he is now, he's been in
the political circles now for a decade. That's two thirds
as long as I've been doing this, well little less

(01:50:11):
than two thirds, and he still can't frame his arguments
very well. That's like everybody being up in arms because
he keeps calling the Epstein thing a hoax. He's not
talking about the Epstein thing itself. He's talking about his
involvement in the Epstein thing. He's not articulating it well enough, though,
which is leaving all this room for interpretation and all
these leftist morals that are like, release this all. Now,

(01:50:35):
where were you when you could have released it? When
you had control of everything under Joe Biden, you for
two years, you all ran it all? Why didn't you?
Because they know that if all this stuff comes out,
a lot of them are going to get caught up

(01:50:55):
in this mess in one way or the other, because
it may not involve them directly, but all of them
are affiliated with people that have been on that list,
well in the files. Let's stop using the word on
the list. But even just the other day you had
members of the group of people that are victims of
this thing saying they never saw anything untoward regarding Donald Trump.

(01:51:19):
You've got one of the attorneys pointing out that it
was Donald Trump who actually helped their clients in the situation.
You've got people spinning the reason why Donald Trump kicked
Jeffrey Epstein out of mar A Lago. Well, he only
did that because he was poaching his staff. No, he
did that because of what he found out was being

(01:51:40):
done to one of those staff members. Not only the
fact that he realized that before he found out about
that dude was poaching his staff and had concerns about
what may or may not be happening to those children
that were now working for Epstein instead of him. That's
the part of the equation everybody leaves off. It wasn't
just about the poaching of the kids. It was about
realizing what was happening to the one that he was

(01:52:02):
trying to poach in that moment and realizing that, oh crap,
if he's doing that to this one, how many more
of the other couple that he's snagged from me? As
you've been doing this with. But Donald Trump should be
doing a much better job of articulating this to people
instead of making this a red blue issue, because it's

(01:52:22):
not this isn't every person issue. But let me be
completely honest with you, we are never going to get
one hundred percent of the truth regarding Jeffrey Epstein. And
let me tell you why. Jeffrey Epstein is an asshole,
piece of shit, degenerate that was flipped by the CIA
into doing honeypot schemes for a black man, which is
why we're never going to find out the full truth
about it, because we're not because if we ever figured

(01:52:47):
out all the things that our government actually does that
are supposed to be in our best interest, we wouldn't
want our government anymore. And enough of this has come
out and drips and drabs over the years that should
tear I every single one of you. Every time you
give any allegiance to one party completely and trust them
to run the government, you need to realize all the

(01:53:07):
things that they've been doing behind the scenes. As an example,
there was a movie that I was watching that was
based on a real life story about somebody that was
a reporter that proved the CIA was actively involved in
the drug trade in the eighties and the nineties. The
day the story was supposed to break, which would have

(01:53:30):
been page one above the fold Back then, none other
than Bill Clinton lobbed a bunch of cruise missiles into
what became an aspirin factory, claiming it was a terrorist
visit was actually an aspirin factory, claiming it was some
form of terrorist facility, which moved that to page one
News and moved that to page twenty three B under
the fold that reporter was ruled by the corner to

(01:53:53):
have committed suicide with two shots at the back of
the head. Your government is not your friend. I may
talk about the government a lot every day. There are
people that are part of our government that I support,
but never ever ever think that your government is your friend.

(01:54:15):
State level, city level, federal level. They're all in it
for them. And if you forget that for even a moment,
they're going to chew you up and they're going to
spit you out. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the
truth of it. And the reason you have both sides
doing everything they can to wipe Donald Trump off the
map is because he's using their system against them to

(01:54:38):
tear them all down, because he actually does give a
shit about this country. He gives a shit about you.
You may not think so, because he's being portrayed as
an narcissist everywhere, in a liar, everywhere that you can
think of. But the truth is out there if you're
willing to go look for it. Yeah, the San Jose

(01:55:08):
Mercury did a great job on the revelation of CIA
muling drugs into the US. If you want to know
how we get a lot of our black projects funded,
there you have it, because if they actually had to
go through appropriations, everybody would have a fucking cow. Do

(01:55:29):
you want to know why cocaine turned into crack? Remember
that dependency thing we were talking about earlier. Your government
has never been your friend. Your education system has never
been your friend, at least not for the last hundred
years or so. Higher education has never been your friend.

(01:55:53):
They don't educate anymore. They indoctrinate. And yes, I understand
the root work is the same, but in our language
it means different things. But that's just the truth of it.
So as we're watching somebody fight tooth and nail to

(01:56:14):
restore a semblance of what this country used to be
and taking fire from all sides while he's doing it,
some of which I'm based on his own creation, because
he doesn't articulate things well enough. Nobody's perfect. Donald Trump
is not the messiah. He may save America if he's

(01:56:37):
given enough time, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he's
going to save the world. Ladies and gentlemen, that's pretty
much going to do it for this particular episode of
The Rick Robinson Show. I'll be back tomorrow for the
Friday edition the it's finally Friday edition of The Rick
Robinson Show.

Speaker 17 (01:56:56):
I don't forget it.

Speaker 1 (01:56:57):
On Fridays, we do a three hour edition and we
will have Brad Schlager on with us, and eventually I'm
going to see if I can grab some other folks
from other right leading publications that want to come on
for that hour just to kind of pimp their work,
share their stuff, because I'm all about growing together. So
that's kind of what I'm trying to do with that one.
But I'll be back tomorrow at ten am Eastern Time.

(01:57:19):
Also be back tonight ten pm Eastern Time for the
Giner Nick Show, and don't forget to hang out for
our closing act for the evening, Bez's Berserk Bobcat Saloon,
produced and owned by our good friends over at the
shr Media Group, which Bez is a part of and
I hope everybody enjoys the rest of your Friday. Thank
you so much for hanging out with me for a
little bit of time that you were able to spend

(01:57:40):
with me today, and I hope to see you back tonight.
Take care of everybody.
