Hosts Billy Ray Valentine, Tony Arterburn and Ashley dig into headlines on this episode of America Unplugged, unpacking tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s energy leverage, and the U.S. response. They debate whether actions stem from incompetence, intentional strategy, or deeper power plays by entrenched interests.

The conversation covers Israel and Netanyahu, the role of the deep state, market and energy impacts, and the political fallout heading into the midterms — all framed through the show’s unfiltered, skeptical lens.

Good to see you.

29
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,160
I'm glad Ashley's here.

30
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,560
I'm sorry we are missing the legendary Don Jeffries.

31
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,560
You know, he has that,

32
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,919
is it once a year he does the DB Cooper

33
00:01:04,919 --> 00:01:07,480
signing ceremony thing that he does?

34
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:08,320
Yeah, yeah.

35
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:09,400
People don't know,

36
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,800
Don Jeffries is DB Cooper.

37
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:11,639
Is DB Cooper.

38
00:01:11,639 --> 00:01:12,959
We sussed that out a while ago.

39
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,120
Here on America Unplugged.

40
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,720
We've told you this before,

41
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,599
but for some reason you don't want to listen.

42
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:19,440
Listen.

43
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,279
Never.

44
00:01:20,279 --> 00:01:21,120
He is DB Cooper.

45
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,599
Go check him out.

46
00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:23,959
And he will tell you all the stories.

47
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,120
He'll let you in.

48
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,720
It's a very small club

49
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,040
and most of you are not in it

50
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,080
and you want to be in it.

51
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,320
You want to be in this club.

52
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:33,519
Ashley is joining us from Knights of the Storm

53
00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:34,919
and her own show.

54
00:01:34,919 --> 00:01:36,400
What is up, Ashley?

55
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,480
Think, change, repeat.

56
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:38,639
Say what's up to the people.

57
00:01:38,639 --> 00:01:39,720
Hello, everybody.

58
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,839
Thank you so much for having me on.

59
00:01:41,839 --> 00:01:44,519
And as always, happy to be here.

60
00:01:44,519 --> 00:01:46,440
AU is one of my favorite shows.

61
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,760
The one thing I still have to do

62
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,599
is leave my five-star review

63
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:51,440
so that you'll read it on air.

64
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,480
You get to say what you want.

65
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,320
Yes.

66
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,120
You'll be able to tell the full truth there.

67
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,919
So I still have to do that.

68
00:01:56,919 --> 00:01:58,120
Damn.

69
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,720
Looking forward to that one.

70
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,040
Pipe bombs, ladies and gentlemen,

71
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,959
going to be dropped next week

72
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:03,959
on America Unplugged

73
00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:05,519
when Ashley tells us the truth

74
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:07,400
of how she feels about this show.

75
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,279
Anyway, as usual,

76
00:02:10,279 --> 00:02:11,839
shit is hitting the fan.

77
00:02:11,839 --> 00:02:14,119
The ceasefire that wasn't a ceasefire

78
00:02:14,119 --> 00:02:15,119
that is a ceasefire,

79
00:02:15,119 --> 00:02:16,520
depending on who you speak to,

80
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,199
but in real life it's not.

81
00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:20,360
It's the war on reality.

82
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,199
Up is down.

83
00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:22,759
Left is right.

84
00:02:22,759 --> 00:02:24,839
War is peace.

85
00:02:24,839 --> 00:02:26,639
Ladies and gentlemen,

86
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,880
the Strait of Hormuz was open.

87
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,279
Let's let the oil flow,

88
00:02:32,279 --> 00:02:33,279
Mr. Trump said,

89
00:02:33,279 --> 00:02:36,320
but then they shut it down again.

90
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,639
You know, and then Trump says,

91
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,360
we're going to drop bombs on your heads.

92
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,119
You know, before we get into this,

93
00:02:44,119 --> 00:02:46,720
a small sidetrack here.

94
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,440
This man is supposed to be

95
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,919
the negotiator of all negotiators.

96
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:52,639
I make deals.

97
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,320
That's what I do.

98
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,399
I make the best deals.

99
00:02:54,399 --> 00:02:56,880
I'm the best dealmaker.

100
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,440
Um, damn, whatever happened to that?

101
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,000
You know, it's like, yeah,

102
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,039
if you don't do this,

103
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:04,360
I'm going to bomb you.

104
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,240
And then he doesn't even

105
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,080
follow through on that.

106
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,160
Thank the Lord.

107
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,679
Although there are things

108
00:03:08,679 --> 00:03:10,119
going on right now, right?

109
00:03:10,119 --> 00:03:12,919
I think the US did attack on something.

110
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,800
If I'm correct, we'll go on

111
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:16,919
on the headlines

112
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,240
and figure this out real quick.

113
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,440
But Tony may have better insight on this.

114
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,800
What what is going on?

115
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,800
The straight got closed again

116
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,119
in the United States, attacked something.

117
00:03:25,119 --> 00:03:27,479
And I heard this morning by Brissom

118
00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:30,600
that Iran attacked a ship.

119
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,479
Also, that may have happened.

120
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:33,000
What's up, buddy?

121
00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:36,440
Well, I guess I've taken my eye off the ball.

122
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,919
I was following the Taylor Swift,

123
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:40,119
Travis Kelsey wedding

124
00:03:40,119 --> 00:03:41,000
that's supposed to come up.

125
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,039
And it's going to be

126
00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:43,240
in your neck of the woods, too.

127
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,559
But I don't know if you got tickets yet.

128
00:03:45,559 --> 00:03:46,880
OK, I figured you would.

129
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:47,639
You would go.

130
00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:50,199
Yeah, the Democratic elite invited me.

131
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:51,479
So I'm going to go.

132
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:53,639
Chuck Schumer was like, Billy,

133
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:54,960
I know you're not a Democrat,

134
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,839
but everybody seems to think you are.

135
00:03:57,839 --> 00:03:59,759
Please come to see Taylor Swift.

136
00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:00,639
I was like, how freaking?

137
00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:02,360
Yeah, I'm coming to see Taylor Swift.

138
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,720
AOC is coming with.

139
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,479
I knew I could count on you to be interested

140
00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:07,160
in what really the headlines.

141
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,759
I mean, that was it made it front page

142
00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:11,119
a drudge about three links down.

143
00:04:11,119 --> 00:04:12,399
So it's doing pretty well.

144
00:04:12,399 --> 00:04:13,880
The work, you know,

145
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,200
isn't necessarily being covered right now,

146
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,920
even though it is the most important,

147
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:20,839
you know, that choke point of energy

148
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,119
in the Strait of Hormuz.

149
00:04:23,119 --> 00:04:26,079
We have given the Iranians

150
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:28,239
unprecedented leverage after this.

151
00:04:28,239 --> 00:04:30,399
OK, and it's showing,

152
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:32,519
you know, back in 2007,

153
00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:34,239
there was a push before the end

154
00:04:34,239 --> 00:04:37,200
of the second term of George W.

155
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:37,640
Bush.

156
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:38,720
You know, you had the GWAT,

157
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:39,799
the Global War on Terror,

158
00:04:39,799 --> 00:04:40,799
and the neocon said

159
00:04:40,799 --> 00:04:41,880
there are seven countries

160
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,119
in five years plan still going strong.

161
00:04:44,119 --> 00:04:45,720
They wanted to push it.

162
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,119
We got bogged down in Iraq.

163
00:04:47,119 --> 00:04:49,000
You had the concept of the surge.

164
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,079
You remember that,

165
00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:51,480
which is a fancy way of saying

166
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,799
more troops, you know,

167
00:04:52,799 --> 00:04:53,880
because the Rumsfeld

168
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,559
thought we could hold

169
00:04:55,559 --> 00:04:57,279
Iraq with 50000 troops.

170
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,239
And of course, we had, you know,

171
00:04:59,239 --> 00:05:01,200
CIA funded terror groups

172
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,640
that became things like ISIS,

173
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,000
which is what Al Qaeda was.

174
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:04,799
A lot of blowback,

175
00:05:04,799 --> 00:05:05,600
a lot of strange things

176
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,160
happening in Iraq at the time.

177
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,079
So the Iran war was postponed,

178
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:12,959
but a lot of people anticipated it.

179
00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:14,720
One of those people being Pat Buchanan

180
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,440
was anticipating

181
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,559
that we were going to strike,

182
00:05:16,559 --> 00:05:17,720
do something with Iran.

183
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,799
First of all, you have the APAC

184
00:05:19,799 --> 00:05:21,480
Israeli interest

185
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,200
in destabilizing the region

186
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,880
for the greater Israel project.

187
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,119
But Iran also at the same time

188
00:05:29,119 --> 00:05:32,880
enjoyed a windfall of of the unknown.

189
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,239
And what I mean by that is

190
00:05:34,239 --> 00:05:36,760
their main export is energy.

191
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,359
And whenever Iran would rattle its saber

192
00:05:39,359 --> 00:05:42,399
or even remember Ahmadinejad,

193
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:45,239
the president of Iran at the time

194
00:05:45,239 --> 00:05:47,640
was very vocal,

195
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,399
which pretty much all the ayatollahs

196
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:50,359
and leaders of Iran

197
00:05:50,359 --> 00:05:53,519
have been since 1979 and back.

198
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:55,720
But he was very vocal about anti-Israel,

199
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,720
anti-American stuff.

200
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,440
And so he would go out

201
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,720
and he would rattle the saber.

202
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,279
And lo and behold, I noticed this

203
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,000
back in the 07, 08 timeframe.

204
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:03,519
I said, oh, you know

205
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:04,959
what happens when they do that?

206
00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:06,920
The price of oil goes up.

207
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:07,839
You know who gets rich

208
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,079
when that happens? Iran.

209
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:11,440
And so you don't have to be a genius

210
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,880
to figure out that

211
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,880
they're pretty much in

212
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,959
what you call a cat bird seat.

213
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:17,839
They can drag this out

214
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,079
a little bit longer.

215
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:20,760
They had they hold the keys

216
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,799
to open the flow of things at will.

217
00:06:24,799 --> 00:06:28,000
So, you know, when you have this

218
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,279
back and forth and it's

219
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,359
kind of like Groundhog Day,

220
00:06:30,359 --> 00:06:31,600
well, the Strait of Hormuz

221
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,480
Hormuz is closed again, you know,

222
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,239
and now it's open and now it's closed.

223
00:06:35,239 --> 00:06:36,959
And as Ashley was saying,

224
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:41,679
it's like Wayne's World

225
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,480
Wayne game on kind of thing.

226
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,480
That's what's happening.

227
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,359
And, you know, again,

228
00:06:47,359 --> 00:06:50,040
the president can threaten all he wants.

229
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,239
But if you go back to June 22nd, 2025,

230
00:06:54,239 --> 00:06:55,959
which is, I pointed out,

231
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:57,119
I don't know if anybody else

232
00:06:57,119 --> 00:06:59,519
did the anniversary of Operation

233
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:01,799
Barbarossa when the Nazis invaded

234
00:07:01,799 --> 00:07:03,720
the Soviet Union in World War

235
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,239
Two in 1941.

236
00:07:05,239 --> 00:07:07,239
That's when we had the big

237
00:07:07,239 --> 00:07:09,279
at the the culmination

238
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,040
of the 12 day war

239
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,760
when we dropped the big bomb on there,

240
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:13,959
you know, and took out their

241
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:15,279
so-called nuclear facilities

242
00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:16,040
and we're going to stop them

243
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,959
from ever having a nuclear weapon.

244
00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:21,160
Well, if you look at the rhetoric

245
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,200
out of the president

246
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,040
leading up to that time,

247
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,920
he was saying things like evacuate Tehran.

248
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:31,040
Uncon in all caps,

249
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,880
threatening the end of a civilization

250
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,799
like we've never had that sort of

251
00:07:36,799 --> 00:07:38,200
this has never happened before,

252
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,880
so we've never had that kind of rhetoric

253
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,040
from a president United States.

254
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,839
You've had unintentional things like,

255
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:43,920
you know, I've even talked about,

256
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,559
you know, Reagan was caught off on,

257
00:07:46,559 --> 00:07:47,959
you know, he was a hot mic

258
00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:49,040
saying he was going to end

259
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:49,799
the Soviet Union.

260
00:07:49,799 --> 00:07:50,559
He was joking.

261
00:07:50,559 --> 00:07:51,519
You know, he said the bombers

262
00:07:51,519 --> 00:07:52,320
were on the way.

263
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,640
He didn't know he was being recorded,

264
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,000
which is totally different.

265
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,839
And, you know, he called the Soviet Union

266
00:07:57,839 --> 00:07:59,760
one time an evil empire.

267
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,640
We've had that sort of slip

268
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:02,480
every once in a while.

269
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,679
But to say you're going to end

270
00:08:03,679 --> 00:08:06,160
a civilization and then you don't.

271
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:06,880
Then you have somebody

272
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:07,959
like Pete Hex says saying

273
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:09,119
we can do whatever we want

274
00:08:09,119 --> 00:08:10,600
with impunity.

275
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,200
We own the skies over Tehran.

276
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,320
But the problem is, is that

277
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,279
Iran holds the keys

278
00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:20,880
to the vital organs

279
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,480
of the world's energy system.

280
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,200
So you didn't think that

281
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,519
all the way through.

282
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:27,799
You can't really hold

283
00:08:27,799 --> 00:08:29,079
the Strait of Hormuz that way.

284
00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:29,920
You know, it would take

285
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,039
a massive coalition of multinations

286
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:36,359
because Iran is going to defend

287
00:08:36,359 --> 00:08:38,200
that position to the death.

288
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,599
You know, they'll continue to use

289
00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:40,880
like old technology

290
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,080
and older missile systems

291
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,520
and drones and cheap stuff

292
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,159
while we're cranking out

293
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:46,799
billions of dollars

294
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:48,760
trying to defend that system.

295
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,719
So it's there's an imbalance there.

296
00:08:50,719 --> 00:08:53,039
I think Iran is just playing off that.

297
00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:55,080
And we look weak and we look dismayed.

298
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,000
And our inner political coalition

299
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,400
is crumbling.

300
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,479
That's why you go back to something.

301
00:09:00,479 --> 00:09:01,960
I believe it was Lord Acton

302
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,400
was talking about

303
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,640
or maybe it was AGP Taylor

304
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,320
was saying something about that.

305
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,559
To the mark of a great nation

306
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:10,960
is to be able to fight a great war

307
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,320
and how you remain a great nation

308
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,239
is by not fighting one.

309
00:09:14,239 --> 00:09:15,440
We're figuring that out

310
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,679
right now in real time.

311
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,159
The American empire is on the ropes

312
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:20,000
and that's unfortunate

313
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:20,960
for the people of the world

314
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:21,719
and it's unfortunate

315
00:09:21,719 --> 00:09:24,200
for the people of our country.

316
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,880
So something I think it's sad to watch,

317
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:26,960
but I don't think it's much more

318
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,520
than just leverage

319
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,840
and utilizing

320
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,119
their power to control

321
00:09:33,119 --> 00:09:35,400
the energy markets at will.

322
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,479
Incredible, man.

323
00:09:36,599 --> 00:09:37,719
It is very sad to watch.

324
00:09:37,719 --> 00:09:38,919
Ashley, what do you got?

325
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,520
So I feel like this,

326
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,760
like what Tony is talking about,

327
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:44,599
in my opinion,

328
00:09:44,599 --> 00:09:47,880
it is the issue of note at the moment.

329
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,479
Like there's a lot happening,

330
00:09:49,479 --> 00:09:51,520
but this one particular issue

331
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,080
has so many moving pieces

332
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,479
that I look at it

333
00:09:56,479 --> 00:09:58,599
maybe like a root system or something.

334
00:09:58,599 --> 00:10:01,200
But basically I have been looking

335
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,559
for the rhetoric that we're hearing

336
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:05,760
in regards to the situation.

337
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,159
So number one,

338
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:11,640
we hear that we have created a superpower.

339
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,679
So just looking at it from,

340
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,919
for me, if I were looking for

341
00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:18,479
what could be a talking point

342
00:10:18,479 --> 00:10:20,880
coming from the narrative managers

343
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,000
or the propagandists

344
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,280
or the PR teams or whatever.

345
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,679
So that's what I,

346
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,000
one of the things at a high level.

347
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,479
Okay, so that is one piece

348
00:10:28,479 --> 00:10:31,400
of like talking point

349
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,400
that I've heard quite a bit

350
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,679
in regards to Iran.

351
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,400
We've created a superpower.

352
00:10:36,119 --> 00:10:37,559
Also what Tony is talking about

353
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,719
as far as this does have the appearance

354
00:10:41,719 --> 00:10:46,119
of the sun setting of the American empire.

355
00:10:46,119 --> 00:10:48,479
And so whether or not

356
00:10:48,479 --> 00:10:51,640
that is intentional from a propagandist angle,

357
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,760
that is the look to the rest of the world,

358
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,119
which would be convenient

359
00:10:55,119 --> 00:10:57,440
in setting up these kind of

360
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,039
the multipolar system

361
00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:02,320
of the North American technique.

362
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,440
I'm not saying for sure that's what it is,

363
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,000
but I think it's interesting

364
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,239
to at least consider in that context.

365
00:11:08,239 --> 00:11:11,119
And then we also have the piece of,

366
00:11:11,119 --> 00:11:12,320
which Tony also mentioned,

367
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,760
the greater Israel project.

368
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,559
So Israel has unceasingly continued

369
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,200
to bomb Lebanon in the name

370
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,280
of going after Hezbollah.

371
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,840
And even though that has been in the MOU,

372
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,520
that was one of the big sticking points

373
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,840
is we want Israel out of Lebanon.

374
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,280
And I would think

375
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,640
if you were adversarial to Israel

376
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,559
that this is obviously a risk

377
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:35,599
for the entire area,

378
00:11:35,599 --> 00:11:39,320
if they're able to get that piece of land

379
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,799
and continue utilizing that.

380
00:11:42,799 --> 00:11:45,559
Now, is this an actual greater Israel

381
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,679
or is this Israel,

382
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,080
they don't even need to fully take over,

383
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,479
but they need to destabilize the region.

384
00:11:52,479 --> 00:11:53,479
I'm not sure about that,

385
00:11:53,479 --> 00:11:55,880
but it's something I'm considering.

386
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:56,719
Then the other thing

387
00:11:56,719 --> 00:11:58,679
is what is actually happening on the day-to-day.

388
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,239
So what we see happening

389
00:12:00,239 --> 00:12:01,239
is that every other day,

390
00:12:01,239 --> 00:12:02,479
we're getting a new message.

391
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,239
We're building up, building up.

392
00:12:04,239 --> 00:12:06,359
We've got this important MOU,

393
00:12:06,359 --> 00:12:07,880
concessions are being made.

394
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,760
It's a full loss for the United States.

395
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,359
And then nothing ever happens,

396
00:12:11,359 --> 00:12:13,359
but they literally talk about it all week.

397
00:12:13,359 --> 00:12:14,359
So then I think you have

398
00:12:14,359 --> 00:12:17,599
the market manipulation piece of all of this

399
00:12:17,599 --> 00:12:19,400
and a wealth transfer,

400
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,880
which happens every single major global event.

401
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,479
This is what continues to happen.

402
00:12:24,479 --> 00:12:27,559
We saw that in the pandemic times.

403
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,400
We're seeing that in the connections

404
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,640
with data centers.

405
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,960
And we're seeing that with the war machine.

406
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,479
So we have wealth transfer going up,

407
00:12:37,479 --> 00:12:41,400
up, up, up to the top 1% or whatever.

408
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,960
And then on the other thing,

409
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,760
we have qui bono.

410
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:45,919
So who else benefits?

411
00:12:45,919 --> 00:12:47,359
And like what Tony was saying,

412
00:12:47,359 --> 00:12:48,760
Iran benefits.

413
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,799
Now, if you're looking at this

414
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:52,159
from a logical perspective,

415
00:12:52,159 --> 00:12:54,239
and I'm not saying that the people

416
00:12:54,239 --> 00:12:56,159
that are making decisions here in the States

417
00:12:56,159 --> 00:12:57,320
are being logical,

418
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,960
but they had to have known

419
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:01,840
that they would be putting Iran

420
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,400
in a position of power or the catbird seat,

421
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,400
like what Tony said.

422
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,359
So what they did makes no sense

423
00:13:07,359 --> 00:13:09,440
only in the context

424
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,599
of this is an intentional squeezing

425
00:13:12,599 --> 00:13:14,280
of the American people.

426
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,159
It's an intentional destabilization

427
00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:17,479
of the entire world,

428
00:13:17,479 --> 00:13:18,880
because all of these relationships

429
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,320
are so intimately involved and connected.

430
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,000
And so it absolutely makes no sense in that way.

431
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,440
And then taking into consideration

432
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,080
the globalist talking points

433
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,559
of what they,

434
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,440
the rhetoric that they have been uttering

435
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,719
for years and years and years

436
00:13:35,719 --> 00:13:36,719
and wondering,

437
00:13:36,719 --> 00:13:39,840
well, isn't this convenient for them?

438
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,799
So I think that we don't,

439
00:13:42,799 --> 00:13:43,840
some of this stuff,

440
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,359
because it's actively happening,

441
00:13:45,359 --> 00:13:47,119
we are really not going to know

442
00:13:47,119 --> 00:13:49,119
until we have the benefit

443
00:13:49,119 --> 00:13:51,840
of hindsight being 2020

444
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,039
to see what actually happened.

445
00:13:53,039 --> 00:13:55,119
And I think part of that is the chaos,

446
00:13:55,119 --> 00:13:56,039
the day-to-day,

447
00:13:56,039 --> 00:13:56,880
there is no,

448
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,000
it's absolutely all over the map.

449
00:13:59,599 --> 00:14:02,280
So I think that there could be some,

450
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,960
deliberate confusion

451
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,039
and propagandists have said

452
00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:07,359
that they wanted to keep people

453
00:14:07,359 --> 00:14:12,359
in a state of like excited confusion, basically.

454
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,760
And when you have people in that state

455
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,679
of not knowing what's going on,

456
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,799
then other members of the predator class

457
00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:21,880
do have an opportunity

458
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,080
to prey on people

459
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,039
who are not in a good head space to follow.

460
00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:26,440
So, sorry, I know that was a lot,

461
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,280
but-

462
00:14:28,239 --> 00:14:29,080
I agree.

463
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,599
And you know, it brings to mind,

464
00:14:31,599 --> 00:14:33,039
if you look at the structure

465
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:35,599
and if you study like the alternative views of history

466
00:14:35,599 --> 00:14:37,760
or the conspiratorial view,

467
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,280
obviously this is beyond geopolitics at some point,

468
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,119
like there is a push by some at the top

469
00:14:45,119 --> 00:14:48,479
to create an energy choke point

470
00:14:48,479 --> 00:14:49,559
for a greater end,

471
00:14:49,559 --> 00:14:51,119
which is, you know,

472
00:14:51,119 --> 00:14:51,960
you'll own nothing

473
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,520
and you'll be happy sort of mindset,

474
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,799
but it is tribal.

475
00:14:55,799 --> 00:14:57,440
And I think we can see that through,

476
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,919
there's different coalitions

477
00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:00,200
and different factions

478
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,280
of what you would call the parasite class

479
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,200
or the new world order

480
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,520
or whatever that is.

481
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:06,880
There is something behind that.

482
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,280
I mean, you could get one faction

483
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,239
that wants to have sort of an Armageddon,

484
00:15:11,239 --> 00:15:12,840
you know, greater Israel project,

485
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,440
third temple thing,

486
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,039
or you get the depopulation enthusiasts

487
00:15:19,039 --> 00:15:20,159
that want, and again,

488
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:21,400
one world government,

489
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,359
you know, a top-down ruling system,

490
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:26,799
a technocracy or a technate,

491
00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:28,320
as Ashley mentioned.

492
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,760
So this is other stuff to watch.

493
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,119
I mean, it's more complicated

494
00:15:31,119 --> 00:15:33,719
than Iran wants, you know,

495
00:15:33,719 --> 00:15:36,080
a greater supply of cash

496
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,440
and a windfall and profit.

497
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,119
I'm just pointing out that that's convenient for them.

498
00:15:41,119 --> 00:15:42,840
And I think that they'll probably do that

499
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:43,679
in the short term.

500
00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:47,760
And Iran is being used as a chess piece

501
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:49,679
by these factions

502
00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:51,679
and those who want to set up the world

503
00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:52,799
in a different way.

504
00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:54,359
You can clearly see the United States

505
00:15:54,359 --> 00:15:57,479
and its standing is being diminished.

506
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,719
And I don't think it's any kind of accident.

507
00:16:00,719 --> 00:16:02,719
I mean, you can label it as incompetence,

508
00:16:02,719 --> 00:16:04,559
but I think we're way beyond that.

509
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:06,039
It's multi-layered.

510
00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:09,520
And I do think that in some level,

511
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,320
this is a track that we're on.

512
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,239
There's a sequence going on

513
00:16:15,239 --> 00:16:16,960
with the draining of American power,

514
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,400
American standing,

515
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,280
and then the choking off,

516
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,239
or at least a simulation

517
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,359
to see what happens.

518
00:16:25,359 --> 00:16:26,479
I mean, people don't understand.

519
00:16:26,479 --> 00:16:29,479
Like if you read into the statistics here

520
00:16:29,479 --> 00:16:30,799
and the data,

521
00:16:30,799 --> 00:16:31,919
we were so damn close

522
00:16:31,919 --> 00:16:33,760
to wrecking the whole world economy

523
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,000
on just this one thing,

524
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,760
because it's so fragile.

525
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,000
I mean, the energy is what drives everything.

526
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:39,840
You can say,

527
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,320
it's like the people that get an electric car

528
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,159
and like, hey, what's your favorite form of energy?

529
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:46,440
Like, oh, electricity.

530
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,280
And like, well, okay,

531
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,400
that's a by-product of energy.

532
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,000
That's a by-product of either coal

533
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,039
or nuclear power,

534
00:16:54,039 --> 00:16:56,320
or it's just petroleum power.

535
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,280
So it has to come from something.

536
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,239
And I think people misunderstand that

537
00:17:00,239 --> 00:17:01,159
because for so long,

538
00:17:01,159 --> 00:17:03,840
we've just had open supply chain,

539
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,119
and especially since the 1970s.

540
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,680
But clearly the ruling class

541
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:09,800
wants to choke that off,

542
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,680
wants to figure out how to get us less mobile

543
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,760
and make things out.

544
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,359
Instead, they can't get us out of our cars fast enough.

545
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,640
They're going to try to make it

546
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:20,640
to where we can't drive them

547
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,199
because it's so damn expensive.

548
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,119
Well, eventually all of this was going to end,

549
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,800
meaning the American empire, right?

550
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,160
There's nothing that is forever.

551
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,800
And I think we can all agree on that.

552
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:34,959
And the decline has been happening

553
00:17:34,959 --> 00:17:37,560
for quite some time, right?

554
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,920
Whether, I think it's not black and white, right?

555
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,479
I think some powers did seek to realign the world

556
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,239
while there were some miscalculations,

557
00:17:50,239 --> 00:17:52,359
some errors, and a bunch of other stuff

558
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,560
that came in the way of all of this,

559
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,760
particularly the weaponization of the dollar, right?

560
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,439
These people that didn't understand

561
00:17:58,439 --> 00:18:02,119
what that was going to do on the world stage.

562
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:07,119
They think that US power is unshakable,

563
00:18:07,199 --> 00:18:08,760
unmovable, right?

564
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,839
And unchallenged.

565
00:18:09,839 --> 00:18:12,319
And that's far from the truth.

566
00:18:12,319 --> 00:18:15,319
I mean, I was talking to Tony months ago

567
00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:16,880
and I told him, I'm like,

568
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,439
we were talking about the world reserved currency

569
00:18:20,439 --> 00:18:22,400
and I'm like, well, the world doesn't need

570
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,280
a world reserved currency after a while, you know?

571
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,760
And this was gonna happen regardless.

572
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,040
This was gonna be, this is the natural transition

573
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,640
of things in my opinion, this was going to happen.

574
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,199
So there was the managed decline, right?

575
00:18:35,199 --> 00:18:37,760
And then there is the full blown,

576
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,560
let's fly off Niagara Falls decline.

577
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,119
And that's what we are experiencing right now.

578
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,280
And I think the reason for that is very simple.

579
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,280
We can analyze it 8,000 different ways, right?

580
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,199
I look at Benjamin Netanyahu and what's going on in Israel,

581
00:18:58,199 --> 00:18:59,439
what's going on in the Middle East

582
00:18:59,439 --> 00:19:00,839
and what's been going on in the Middle East

583
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:02,680
for quite some time.

584
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,640
And I look at the infinite stupidity of Donald Trump

585
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,000
and how he can be manipulated, you know,

586
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,280
because they approached, you know,

587
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,680
the senile ass Joe Biden with the same plan

588
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,680
and Joe Biden turned it down, okay?

589
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,160
Donald Trump was stupid enough and gullible enough

590
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,400
and he needed his ego fed so much

591
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,760
because they told him you are going to save the world

592
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,560
that he went along with this.

593
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,359
And these are people, it's important to keep in mind

594
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,359
for the sake of the argument,

595
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,079
these are people that are bloodthirsty for Armageddon.

596
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,760
They believe that their religious philosophy

597
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,920
is factual and superior to all others

598
00:19:53,540 --> 00:19:57,599
and they are trying to fulfill

599
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,380
their interpretation of ancient prophecy.

600
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,680
As crazy as that might sound,

601
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,640
go listen to Pete Hexeth or Paula White for a little while.

602
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,000
Mike Johnson's stupid ass.

603
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,439
These people are dumb as stones

604
00:20:14,439 --> 00:20:17,439
and they're in cults, religious cults

605
00:20:18,479 --> 00:20:19,800
along with the MAGA cult.

606
00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:24,760
I think this is why we are here.

607
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,520
They don't give a damn about the American people.

608
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,920
They don't, they never have, right?

609
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,319
They don't give a damn about the day-to-day

610
00:20:31,319 --> 00:20:33,239
and you can make that argument across the board

611
00:20:33,239 --> 00:20:35,800
in political parties at the elite level,

612
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,079
at the top levels, the bread,

613
00:20:37,079 --> 00:20:39,199
they don't give a shit about anything.

614
00:20:39,199 --> 00:20:41,920
These people are political chameleons.

615
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,920
They say whatever they need to say.

616
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,160
Look at JD Vance, how many identities he has.

617
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,560
Tucker Carlson, the same thing, political chameleon.

618
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,439
He'll say whatever the hell he needs to say

619
00:20:53,439 --> 00:20:55,040
in order to keep getting clicks.

620
00:20:56,079 --> 00:20:57,800
You know, he was talking about freaking ghosts

621
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,199
the other day, whatever's popping.

622
00:21:00,199 --> 00:21:01,839
He's like, yeah, let's go along with that.

623
00:21:01,839 --> 00:21:02,680
Let's say that.

624
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:03,900
Now they're all anti-Trump

625
00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:06,400
because that's the thing all of a sudden.

626
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,640
Um, so I think that's what's happening here.

627
00:21:11,959 --> 00:21:14,560
I think it's, of course, it's way deeper than that,

628
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,479
but it's very simple also at the same time,

629
00:21:17,479 --> 00:21:20,479
which is difficult to explain.

630
00:21:20,479 --> 00:21:25,479
But I think this guy is literally the stupidest man

631
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,800
to ever sit in that office.

632
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,280
He's so not qualified to do it.

633
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,319
He wasn't qualified in 2016

634
00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:34,119
and he's certainly not qualified now

635
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,119
because he's losing his mind on top of his,

636
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,760
on top of his original craziness.

637
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,319
And he's so easily manipulated.

638
00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:46,520
We all agree that Benjamin Netanyahu

639
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,939
has him under his thumb.

640
00:21:47,939 --> 00:21:50,599
No matter what he says, he'll turn around and say whatever.

641
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,000
What was that?

642
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:53,839
That was me, or you?

643
00:21:53,839 --> 00:21:55,319
I think that was you.

644
00:21:55,319 --> 00:21:57,479
Jesus Christ, the hell was that?

645
00:21:57,479 --> 00:21:58,319
That was-

646
00:21:58,319 --> 00:22:00,760
You have a shot if something goes wrong.

647
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:01,599
That's not me.

648
00:22:01,599 --> 00:22:03,000
Did we see the rest of the apartment?

649
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:03,839
I don't think so.

650
00:22:03,839 --> 00:22:05,520
What was your favorite part?

651
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,959
I don't have anything on my-

652
00:22:07,959 --> 00:22:09,479
I don't have anything either.

653
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,359
Ashley, you got anything on your mic going through the-

654
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,880
Nope, I'm muted.

655
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,680
Okay.

656
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:19,520
What is this?

657
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,079
Wow.

658
00:22:23,079 --> 00:22:24,920
Okay, that's really weird.

659
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:25,760
Anyway, we were breaking down-

660
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,439
The stream was crossed there, buddy.

661
00:22:27,439 --> 00:22:28,439
Don't cross the streams.

662
00:22:28,439 --> 00:22:29,599
That was Taylor Swift.

663
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,040
She invited you personally?

664
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,640
But that's what I think is going down here, man.

665
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,359
And we tend to look over the incompetence

666
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,119
because there has to be other reasons for this,

667
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,560
right, you would think.

668
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,719
And there is an argument to be made for that.

669
00:22:48,719 --> 00:22:51,880
But let's not forget about the massive incompetence here.

670
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,359
Let's not forget it.

671
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:54,800
The guy-

672
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:55,640
Here we go again.

673
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,160
Pizza, how many hours you'd have to sit

674
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,640
at that beautiful dinner table?

675
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,479
I don't know.

676
00:23:00,479 --> 00:23:01,880
I have no idea what that is.

677
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:02,719
I don't either.

678
00:23:02,719 --> 00:23:06,239
It looks like it's a stream that's overlapping over ours.

679
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,400
And is it like the same on repeat?

680
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,239
Yeah, I think it might-

681
00:23:10,239 --> 00:23:11,079
No idea.

682
00:23:12,719 --> 00:23:14,520
All right, it's gone now.

683
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,599
Okay.

684
00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:16,920
Go ahead, Tony, what's up?

685
00:23:17,959 --> 00:23:20,479
Well, I agree with you on the incompetence part.

686
00:23:20,479 --> 00:23:24,000
My question, I think, as I look at what's happening

687
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,560
in our policy, whatever the hell you want to call it,

688
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,719
obviously there's no pushback inside the system itself.

689
00:23:30,719 --> 00:23:33,239
So, I mean, anything that's bad for America

690
00:23:33,239 --> 00:23:36,599
or it's going to hurt our standing or our sovereignty

691
00:23:36,599 --> 00:23:41,400
or the liberty of the individual would be pushed back on.

692
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,040
So we have, whatever the president's doing

693
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,920
and the administration is clearly,

694
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,959
the boxes are all checked off and the deep state is on board.

695
00:23:48,959 --> 00:23:50,239
So they're like, hey, we love this.

696
00:23:50,239 --> 00:23:51,599
This is great.

697
00:23:51,599 --> 00:23:54,040
You know, we're bankrupting ourselves.

698
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,359
We're, you know, creating more opportunities

699
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:57,560
for World War III.

700
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,439
We like Armageddon.

701
00:23:59,439 --> 00:24:01,599
You know, all this, there's no pushback

702
00:24:01,599 --> 00:24:05,479
from the internal counter government, as Nixon called it.

703
00:24:05,479 --> 00:24:07,000
You know, the government, as Nixon said,

704
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,479
the government cannot exist and cannot maintain power

705
00:24:09,479 --> 00:24:11,640
with the counter government working inside it.

706
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,239
Well, we have multiple counter governments

707
00:24:14,239 --> 00:24:16,640
and even Tulsi Gabbard, who, you know,

708
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,640
recently just got raided by the other intelligence agency.

709
00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:26,839
She was the DNI and she got raided by the DCI,

710
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,599
the Director of Central Intelligence.

711
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,479
And so she even came out and said, you know,

712
00:24:30,479 --> 00:24:31,640
we're pushing really hard

713
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:32,920
and they're pushing really hard back.

714
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,280
She's talking about the counter government

715
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,839
or the shadow government or the people that you don't see

716
00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:41,680
that you didn't elect, the permanent bureaucratic state.

717
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,160
So I guess my point is, I do agree with you.

718
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,439
I think Trump is, or what's happened

719
00:24:47,439 --> 00:24:52,280
with this whole experiment was to take nationalism,

720
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,160
traditionalism, conservatism,

721
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,079
and just make it a funhouse mirror versus bastardize it.

722
00:24:58,599 --> 00:24:59,680
It's just completely upended.

723
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,680
It's a caricature, a hollow version of itself and grotesque.

724
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,400
And so that's what we've made it.

725
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,199
That's like, you know, for generations now,

726
00:25:09,199 --> 00:25:11,839
when we talk about economic nationalism,

727
00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:14,439
tariffs will be remembered as the thing that we use

728
00:25:14,439 --> 00:25:16,239
to weaponize our currency

729
00:25:16,239 --> 00:25:19,079
and not something used to build manufacturing.

730
00:25:19,079 --> 00:25:21,520
Like all of this is being rewritten.

731
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,640
So I agree with you that there's a level of malice

732
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,160
and incompetence and all the things that go along with it.

733
00:25:27,199 --> 00:25:28,040
I mean, I even discussed,

734
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,079
I mean, you have the leader of the so-called free world

735
00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:35,319
saying that he's gonna end civilizations.

736
00:25:35,319 --> 00:25:38,680
It's just unthinkable 10 years ago

737
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,479
that we would even be having this conversation.

738
00:25:40,479 --> 00:25:41,319
So I agree with you.

739
00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:44,119
But I also want to point out that there is no,

740
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,239
like there's no pushback from the internal state.

741
00:25:46,239 --> 00:25:48,199
The internal state loves this shit.

742
00:25:48,199 --> 00:25:50,079
I mean, they obviously love every policy

743
00:25:50,079 --> 00:25:51,040
that's coming out of there.

744
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,040
So as long as there's war and there's, you know,

745
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,560
we haven't done anything to roll back taxes or regulation.

746
00:25:57,199 --> 00:25:59,199
Anybody with a brain,

747
00:25:59,199 --> 00:26:02,479
like if you had any semblance of what America

748
00:26:02,479 --> 00:26:04,800
has actually has the potential to do,

749
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,520
you would agree with the following statement of me.

750
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,199
I think if you were to deregulate, cut taxes

751
00:26:11,199 --> 00:26:14,479
and make it, you know, a surety,

752
00:26:14,479 --> 00:26:18,160
if you would provide certainty for markets

753
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,719
that we could turn the whole thing around,

754
00:26:19,719 --> 00:26:20,599
but we don't do that.

755
00:26:20,599 --> 00:26:21,640
We don't do the things

756
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,839
that would actually turn the country around.

757
00:26:24,839 --> 00:26:25,680
I agree, brother.

758
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,119
So those policies, if we were to do those,

759
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,119
there'd be pushback.

760
00:26:30,439 --> 00:26:32,359
And I don't think the deep state isn't pushing back.

761
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,920
So we're doing everything that they want,

762
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,199
or at least the majority of that policy

763
00:26:38,199 --> 00:26:40,479
is being carried out by the current trans,

764
00:26:40,479 --> 00:26:44,000
like whatever the ruling class that you can see.

765
00:26:45,479 --> 00:26:47,959
So just something to think about.

766
00:26:47,959 --> 00:26:48,800
There's no resistance.

767
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,199
We have a question for you, Tom,

768
00:26:50,199 --> 00:26:51,640
but I don't know what this is in reference to,

769
00:26:51,719 --> 00:26:54,400
because I might've lost it.

770
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,359
So further explain, buddy.

771
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,000
But he says, so is it unthinkable when Putin says the same,

772
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,479
but I don't know if you know.

773
00:27:03,479 --> 00:27:05,160
It's not exactly the same thing.

774
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,119
And, you know, the Soviet leaders have always had a,

775
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,680
their vernacular, their lexicon

776
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,439
has always leaned towards Armageddon, right?

777
00:27:16,439 --> 00:27:17,680
They've always leaned.

778
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,800
I mean, I talked many times about, you know,

779
00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:22,760
Brezhnev and Khrushchev and Stalin.

780
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,920
I mean, Khrushchev's probably the most, you know,

781
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,319
historic example, the most, I think, boisterous of them all,

782
00:27:30,319 --> 00:27:33,160
you know, beating his shoe against the podium at the UN,

783
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,599
saying, we're gonna bury you.

784
00:27:35,719 --> 00:27:38,199
But I know there's some stuff that comes out of,

785
00:27:38,199 --> 00:27:39,400
you know, the Putin rhetoric,

786
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,959
but it's mainly on like a defensive posture.

787
00:27:42,959 --> 00:27:43,839
As from what I understand,

788
00:27:43,839 --> 00:27:47,040
every quote I've ever seen when Putin goes apocalyptic,

789
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,599
it's mainly because like NATO's at his doorstep

790
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,640
or have bio labs in Ukraine

791
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,640
and trying to get Ukraine into NATO

792
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,760
and, you know, the threatening maneuvers

793
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,760
and all of the things that we do post-Cold War

794
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,839
and threats that we've made.

795
00:28:04,839 --> 00:28:06,719
Those are mostly like responses.

796
00:28:06,719 --> 00:28:09,239
Like if I guess we're gonna have to,

797
00:28:09,239 --> 00:28:12,079
again, it's something I, I'm not a Putin expert,

798
00:28:12,079 --> 00:28:15,319
but I would believe every time I've seen a quote

799
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:16,800
of his that is apocalyptic,

800
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,199
it's usually in response to something that we are doing

801
00:28:20,199 --> 00:28:23,160
and not something that he's taking on himself.

802
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,359
You know, like this is the whole thing with Iran.

803
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,560
I mean, Iran's not a nuclear armed country

804
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,359
and they're not a threat to the United States

805
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:30,719
unless we make them one.

806
00:28:30,719 --> 00:28:33,319
And so that's a completely different set of circumstances,

807
00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:34,839
in my opinion.

808
00:28:34,839 --> 00:28:36,800
Except for the time when he says

809
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,680
that I wanna be the one to reunite, you know,

810
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,199
the motherland, completely unprovoked.

811
00:28:42,199 --> 00:28:44,479
You know, there is that, brother.

812
00:28:44,479 --> 00:28:49,479
You know, you and I tend to disagree on this point,

813
00:28:51,599 --> 00:28:55,680
but Vladimir Putin is a very, very,

814
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,560
very evil individual, in my opinion.

815
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:03,199
And I think he hides behind the reactionary,

816
00:29:03,199 --> 00:29:04,800
oh, NATO is the thing.

817
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,680
There's a lot more to that, in my opinion.

818
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,680
Ashley, what are your thoughts

819
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,920
on what we were speaking about previously?

820
00:29:12,959 --> 00:29:15,199
If we can, we spoke about a lot.

821
00:29:15,199 --> 00:29:18,280
So, if you're preparing on something that you want,

822
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,119
go ahead.

823
00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:20,079
So yeah, so first of all,

824
00:29:20,079 --> 00:29:22,599
I would say that I also don't disagree with you.

825
00:29:22,599 --> 00:29:24,400
And I am definitely not an expert

826
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,599
in any of these areas, Billy,

827
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:30,599
but I do think that the incompetence piece is a real factor.

828
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,359
And for me, it's mostly just trying

829
00:29:33,359 --> 00:29:35,079
to observe what is happening

830
00:29:35,079 --> 00:29:38,239
and think about it from these various angles

831
00:29:38,239 --> 00:29:41,000
and realizing that it's really complex

832
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,479
in a lot of different ways.

833
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,119
So, that's where I'm at,

834
00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:46,239
just trying to pay attention

835
00:29:46,239 --> 00:29:49,000
and pay attention to those talking points

836
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,079
and any patterns that I can observe.

837
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,680
I also am not, I'm not an expert

838
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,400
on Vladimir Putin or Russia,

839
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,400
but I do think that, yeah, he is playing a part.

840
00:30:02,479 --> 00:30:04,599
He is a factor, Vladimir Putin,

841
00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:10,280
but I just don't fully understand exactly in what way.

842
00:30:11,239 --> 00:30:13,599
And I think for some of that, for me,

843
00:30:13,599 --> 00:30:17,479
I'm just gonna have to be when we have hindsight,

844
00:30:17,479 --> 00:30:20,400
when we have the benefit of hindsight on this.

845
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,680
Right, I understand that a lot of it is that, right?

846
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,599
And even then, right, it's still somebody's perspective

847
00:30:27,599 --> 00:30:30,319
or somebody's view on history, on events, right?

848
00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:33,319
Like factual events and why you think they went on

849
00:30:33,319 --> 00:30:34,719
unless there's some type of disclosure,

850
00:30:34,719 --> 00:30:38,359
which we probably will never get.

851
00:30:38,359 --> 00:30:39,599
I mean, we will on some things,

852
00:30:39,599 --> 00:30:44,599
but NMQ, we'll stop there,

853
00:30:45,119 --> 00:30:47,239
he seems to think, or she seems to think

854
00:30:47,239 --> 00:30:50,560
that this is not incompetence, right?

855
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,599
That everything is going as planned.

856
00:30:53,599 --> 00:30:56,239
And I can't argue with, I think,

857
00:30:56,239 --> 00:30:58,560
I guess I can argue on behalf of the competence,

858
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,439
but I can't negate your point.

859
00:31:00,439 --> 00:31:01,760
This might be a-

860
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,839
Is it weaponized?

861
00:31:02,839 --> 00:31:04,359
Is it weaponized incompetence

862
00:31:04,359 --> 00:31:05,199
is kind of what I'm leaning towards.

863
00:31:05,199 --> 00:31:06,839
Well, I think that's the best way to put it, right?

864
00:31:06,839 --> 00:31:08,479
That's a union of the two.

865
00:31:08,479 --> 00:31:11,520
The incompetence is being exploited

866
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,000
for whatever reason, right?

867
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,119
And I'm on board with that.

868
00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:17,640
I can co-sign that, finish up, Tom.

869
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,680
Well, I mean, if you go back in historical reference,

870
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,560
I mean, 1963, JFK sees the error of his ways

871
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:25,839
and stuns the executive order

872
00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:28,760
to pull the advisors out of Vietnam.

873
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,479
He's pushing back against us going

874
00:31:31,479 --> 00:31:34,040
to a free-floating fiat currency.

875
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,719
There was executive order on silver in the Federal Reserve.

876
00:31:36,719 --> 00:31:39,560
He creates his own notes from the treasury.

877
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,199
He's pushing back on Israel getting a nuclear weapon.

878
00:31:42,199 --> 00:31:44,119
There's a lot of things, you know, we had,

879
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:47,800
that was probably the last real American administration.

880
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,640
I think there's probably inklings of it

881
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,000
in the Nixon administration.

882
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,400
Ironically, that's one of the reasons

883
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,560
he was pushed out of office.

884
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,959
No other presidents ever had to resign like that before.

885
00:31:56,959 --> 00:31:59,880
So there was a lot of pushback from the deep state.

886
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,599
So I think whatever you're seeing,

887
00:32:01,599 --> 00:32:04,839
the window dressing is right or left.

888
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,439
The continuity of structure or cog,

889
00:32:07,439 --> 00:32:09,880
the continuity of government is apparent

890
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,280
in what's happening because the deep state doesn't eat.

891
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,239
It doesn't, you know, turn the rulers inside out.

892
00:32:16,239 --> 00:32:18,280
It doesn't do what it did to JFK.

893
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,640
It doesn't do what it did to Nixon,

894
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,079
to any president past then.

895
00:32:22,079 --> 00:32:24,400
I mean, there's policy differences.

896
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,239
Like you pointed out,

897
00:32:25,239 --> 00:32:27,640
Joe Biden didn't want to do the Israel thing.

898
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,119
He did the Russia thing, you know, he did that.

899
00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:33,079
And would that have happened under a second Trump term?

900
00:32:33,079 --> 00:32:34,400
Probably not that way.

901
00:32:34,839 --> 00:32:36,520
It might've happened something similar,

902
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,959
but there was a want to by the power structure inside,

903
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:42,479
the people you don't see.

904
00:32:42,479 --> 00:32:43,680
And it's hard to say, you know,

905
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,079
it's hard to say exactly what they want,

906
00:32:45,079 --> 00:32:46,599
but there's no debates.

907
00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:49,040
There's no deep state debates on, there's no election.

908
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,760
We don't know exactly what they want.

909
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,239
We don't know what we're being used for,

910
00:32:53,239 --> 00:32:56,079
but clearly the current political structure

911
00:32:56,079 --> 00:32:59,160
does not serve the will or the interests

912
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,239
of the American people.

913
00:33:00,239 --> 00:33:01,719
I just know that.

914
00:33:01,719 --> 00:33:04,199
You know, I understand what you're saying.

915
00:33:04,199 --> 00:33:07,599
And no matter who gets in, something's gonna happen, right?

916
00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:10,479
Like they've been messing with the Middle East

917
00:33:10,479 --> 00:33:12,359
since I've been alive, right?

918
00:33:12,359 --> 00:33:14,119
Somalia is still getting bombed, right?

919
00:33:14,119 --> 00:33:15,760
And most people don't even know about that.

920
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,839
You know, they tried to do stuff for Venezuela forever,

921
00:33:19,839 --> 00:33:22,760
right, after administration and administration.

922
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,160
Cuba, all of these things, all of these things are in play.

923
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,599
But I think it's also beneficial to point out

924
00:33:29,599 --> 00:33:34,479
that regardless, right, if, you know, there was a,

925
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,239
you made the reference with Joe Biden and Russia,

926
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,199
we can make those references all day long, right?

927
00:33:42,199 --> 00:33:44,199
Kamala Harris, what would Kamala Harris have done

928
00:33:44,199 --> 00:33:45,680
in Iran or whatever?

929
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,640
Like we have four years of what Biden did.

930
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,880
We have eight years of what Obama did, you know?

931
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,079
And if you wanna even talk about the neocons,

932
00:33:55,079 --> 00:33:57,359
we have a frame of reference to go back

933
00:33:57,359 --> 00:34:00,359
and see whatever they've done, the Bushes, right?

934
00:34:00,359 --> 00:34:05,280
And Clinton, who is an adopted neocon, right?

935
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,719
Everybody, I mean, the Bush family says

936
00:34:07,719 --> 00:34:10,959
that that's their other brother, their son, whatever.

937
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,239
Nobody's ever seen this.

938
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,399
This has never happened before.

939
00:34:14,399 --> 00:34:16,800
Nobody was stupid enough to have the,

940
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,919
not in my lifetime that the Strait of Hormuz was closed.

941
00:34:20,919 --> 00:34:21,760
You understand?

942
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,080
Like this type of action that Donald Trump

943
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,439
and this administration has taken is a clear escalation

944
00:34:30,439 --> 00:34:33,080
from anything that's been done previously.

945
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,879
And that needs to be pointed out.

946
00:34:34,879 --> 00:34:38,080
There's a lot of issues in the alt media

947
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,439
where they're like, well, yeah, you know,

948
00:34:41,439 --> 00:34:43,600
I threw my support behind these guys

949
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,760
and I said, you know, that they wouldn't do this,

950
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,760
but they are doing it, but so would the other side.

951
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:49,679
Everybody would do it.

952
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:52,280
You know, it's kind of like a defense mechanism.

953
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,520
You know, oh, they would do it too.

954
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,520
It doesn't, you don't fucking know that

955
00:34:55,879 --> 00:34:56,879
one way or another.

956
00:34:56,879 --> 00:34:58,360
You know, we have a frame of reference

957
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,639
that we can go back and argue, you know,

958
00:35:00,639 --> 00:35:03,080
that they did not do it then,

959
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,800
but we don't know if they would or wouldn't do it now.

960
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,959
So let's stop using that as a deflection point

961
00:35:08,959 --> 00:35:10,879
and talk about what's being done.

962
00:35:10,879 --> 00:35:14,760
These people are actively doing this thing right now

963
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:15,800
in front of our faces.

964
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,280
It is the new world order.

965
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,280
A legit new world order is trying to be framed out

966
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,199
in front of us and the truth movement,

967
00:35:25,959 --> 00:35:26,800
the alternative media,

968
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,000
when they get slapped in the face

969
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,600
with something that's been presented to them

970
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,560
year after year, decade after decade,

971
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,800
decide to deny it.

972
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,000
And this is what made me just like, just push away.

973
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,600
I'm like, my God, what the hell have we been doing here?

974
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:42,439
To the point that,

975
00:35:42,439 --> 00:35:43,840
and we should have this conversation off air,

976
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,719
but I don't want to call ourselves alt media anymore.

977
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:47,560
Yeah.

978
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,439
What we do here on America Unplugged

979
00:35:50,439 --> 00:35:53,199
is no longer the alt media if it ever was.

980
00:35:53,199 --> 00:35:54,120
I agree.

981
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:54,959
Okay.

982
00:35:55,919 --> 00:35:58,520
Yeah, the entire space I think has become,

983
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,760
it's either nihilistic that nothing matters

984
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,840
and everything's fake and everybody's a shill

985
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:03,679
and you can't ever be,

986
00:36:03,679 --> 00:36:05,360
you can't ever have a coherent thought

987
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,520
and everybody, just a bunch of fags.

988
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:08,639
So you have that,

989
00:36:08,639 --> 00:36:11,320
or you are some sort of sycophant

990
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,719
for whatever alt-right thing is happening

991
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,719
or you're following some crackerjack code.

992
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,560
I agree with you.

993
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,120
And it's become a clickbait stupid.

994
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,080
I talked about that on my show Thursday.

995
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,800
I don't even sure what place I have in it.

996
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,719
I'm just trying to give best analysis.

997
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,080
Your show is largely geopolitical and economic,

998
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,320
which is dope.

999
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,639
Yeah, I lean more towards that.

1000
00:36:35,639 --> 00:36:36,919
I mean, that's something that,

1001
00:36:36,919 --> 00:36:38,639
by the way, like what we're even talking about,

1002
00:36:38,639 --> 00:36:39,959
like I'm already moved on

1003
00:36:39,959 --> 00:36:42,600
from like where we even are politically

1004
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,639
because this administration is over.

1005
00:36:44,639 --> 00:36:46,000
The midterms are coming.

1006
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,199
I don't care who you are.

1007
00:36:47,199 --> 00:36:49,159
Like there's going to be,

1008
00:36:49,159 --> 00:36:50,560
and like we talked off air,

1009
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,280
like there's going to be a rest,

1010
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,840
not like the QAnon ones,

1011
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,120
not the deep state ones,

1012
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,159
not all that stuff that,

1013
00:36:57,159 --> 00:37:00,800
you know, it's not the Doge arrest for the fraud.

1014
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:01,639
It's none of that.

1015
00:37:01,639 --> 00:37:03,280
It's going to be like you were saying,

1016
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,719
Mike Johnson, the speaker is saying that,

1017
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,000
oh, that we lose the midterms,

1018
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,239
which you are,

1019
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,320
which you are,

1020
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,399
like it's going,

1021
00:37:11,399 --> 00:37:13,280
even if things just,

1022
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:14,360
nothing changes,

1023
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,120
there's no groundswell of independence

1024
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,679
moving over and voting Democrat.

1025
00:37:17,679 --> 00:37:18,520
And I know everybody's like,

1026
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,719
well, the elections aren't real.

1027
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,600
Okay, then let's just stop talking about everything.

1028
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:22,919
Let's just go home, you know.

1029
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,760
But people at the end of the day

1030
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,159
are going to move towards just something different.

1031
00:37:28,159 --> 00:37:30,080
And we always do that in America

1032
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,800
and it's going to sweep

1033
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,399
and there will be investigations.

1034
00:37:33,399 --> 00:37:34,439
There'll be impeachment hearings.

1035
00:37:34,439 --> 00:37:36,000
There'll be all this stuff

1036
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,000
and it'll be a cascade

1037
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,399
and people will start looking at

1038
00:37:40,399 --> 00:37:42,320
what the head of the federal reserve,

1039
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,560
what Warsh is going to do.

1040
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:44,560
I mean, it's,

1041
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,959
eyes will turn into different directions.

1042
00:37:46,959 --> 00:37:49,040
It will literally be over

1043
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,280
in the political sense for whatever this was.

1044
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:57,280
This is where MAGA goes to expire, okay.

1045
00:37:58,879 --> 00:38:00,120
This is where we're headed.

1046
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:01,199
I'm already moved on.

1047
00:38:01,199 --> 00:38:03,120
I'm looking at two years down the road.

1048
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,159
No, you're not wrong.

1049
00:38:04,159 --> 00:38:06,199
Two years down the road is,

1050
00:38:06,199 --> 00:38:07,560
man, in November,

1051
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:12,560
if things fall as they look like they're going to fall,

1052
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:14,679
you're going to see,

1053
00:38:14,679 --> 00:38:16,959
you're going to see night of the long knives, man.

1054
00:38:16,959 --> 00:38:18,919
People are going to turn,

1055
00:38:18,919 --> 00:38:20,840
they're already turning on Donald Trump,

1056
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,120
but I mean,

1057
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:23,800
you're going to see more pushback

1058
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,239
within quote unquote MAGA Republicans

1059
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,080
that are sitting in positions of power

1060
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,840
because they will have abandoned him.

1061
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,399
They're like, okay, this is it.

1062
00:38:34,399 --> 00:38:38,080
We need to push forward on our own now

1063
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:39,639
or for our own brand.

1064
00:38:39,639 --> 00:38:41,320
You're going to start seeing a lot of it.

1065
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,040
There'll still be people that are loyal to him

1066
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,679
and think that his word is going to count,

1067
00:38:46,679 --> 00:38:48,000
but it's going to be interesting

1068
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,280
to see what goes down in November.

1069
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,120
Ashley, your thoughts,

1070
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,479
and then I'm going to play Mike Johnson.

1071
00:38:52,479 --> 00:38:53,360
I am sorry, guys.

1072
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,000
I'm going to play Mike Johnson.

1073
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,159
I know this is treacherous to your ears and your eyes.

1074
00:38:58,159 --> 00:38:59,560
My apologies ahead of time.

1075
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:00,520
It's about a two minute clip.

1076
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,679
Anyway, go ahead, Ashley.

1077
00:39:02,679 --> 00:39:06,080
Yeah, I think that that is one of the things to consider

1078
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,600
is that there's likely going to be a proverbial bloodbath

1079
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,679
when it comes to midterm elections.

1080
00:39:11,679 --> 00:39:13,320
And you have to wonder,

1081
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,320
motivations, what was anyone thinking

1082
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,399
when they decided to attack a country

1083
00:39:17,399 --> 00:39:18,719
that didn't do anything to us

1084
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,199
that was going to have global implications

1085
00:39:21,199 --> 00:39:23,560
and immediately cause our gas prices

1086
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,719
here in the States to go up

1087
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,719
and immediately start affecting the standard of living

1088
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,439
for the people that are,

1089
00:39:30,439 --> 00:39:32,479
you know, this is something that Franco talks about,

1090
00:39:32,479 --> 00:39:33,679
the ladders, right?

1091
00:39:33,679 --> 00:39:35,639
So if you're in the lower,

1092
00:39:35,639 --> 00:39:37,760
the lower lowest income bracket,

1093
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,879
then immediately your standard of living

1094
00:39:39,879 --> 00:39:42,479
is getting less good.

1095
00:39:42,479 --> 00:39:45,159
And that is continuing to climb up.

1096
00:39:45,159 --> 00:39:46,520
So that happened right away.

1097
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,120
It's obviously very,

1098
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,439
people are not for this for the most part.

1099
00:39:52,439 --> 00:39:56,080
People are also not a fan of

1100
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,959
at least the appearance of the United States

1101
00:39:59,959 --> 00:40:01,520
making all of these decisions

1102
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,320
on behalf of their support for Israel

1103
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:05,959
and Benjamin Netanyahu.

1104
00:40:05,959 --> 00:40:09,120
It is not popular for most people.

1105
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,479
They are tired of seeing that

1106
00:40:11,479 --> 00:40:14,959
and whether like whatever true factors are really here,

1107
00:40:14,959 --> 00:40:17,120
this is kind of the message that's getting out

1108
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,879
is that the United States is doing anything for Israel

1109
00:40:21,879 --> 00:40:25,959
and they are doing whatever they want to do.

1110
00:40:25,959 --> 00:40:30,560
And we're getting the rhetoric that Benjamin Netanyahu

1111
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,320
is not radical enough

1112
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,800
for the other political parties in Israel

1113
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,560
that he is going to be in jail

1114
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,120
if he's not doing what he's doing.

1115
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:40,959
Who knows?

1116
00:40:40,959 --> 00:40:41,800
Like there's so much here,

1117
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,360
I would say that is a very unpopular situation

1118
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:46,199
that has set up

1119
00:40:46,199 --> 00:40:48,000
and there is no way

1120
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,439
that you can cause people's gas prices to go up,

1121
00:40:50,439 --> 00:40:52,520
that you can continuously put the squeeze

1122
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,439
on the American people leading into midterms

1123
00:40:55,439 --> 00:40:59,840
and not have a huge fallout for that, for sure.

1124
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,239
Let's see, man.

1125
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:02,399
Let's see what develops.

1126
00:41:02,399 --> 00:41:05,100
All right, let's play this piece of filth real quick.

1127
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,520
The DSA, the Democrat Socialists of America,

1128
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,879
this sounds so innocuous, doesn't it?

1129
00:41:11,879 --> 00:41:12,719
No, it doesn't.

1130
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,239
Don't say that.

1131
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:15,219
This is their platform.

1132
00:41:15,219 --> 00:41:17,520
Listen, this is actually quotes from their platform

1133
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,479
that they published, I think, about a day or two ago.

1134
00:41:20,479 --> 00:41:21,800
You can find this on the internet.

1135
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,899
Okay, here's just a sample of what they're about.

1136
00:41:23,899 --> 00:41:25,000
They put this on paper.

1137
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,600
They're saying the quiet things out loud.

1138
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,239
Abolish the electoral college,

1139
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,899
replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy,

1140
00:41:31,899 --> 00:41:33,679
expand the House of Representatives,

1141
00:41:33,679 --> 00:41:36,060
implement proportional representation

1142
00:41:36,060 --> 00:41:38,939
and rank choice voting in all elections.

1143
00:41:41,780 --> 00:41:43,739
Well, establish public ownership

1144
00:41:43,739 --> 00:41:46,699
of the largest corporations and essential industries

1145
00:41:46,699 --> 00:41:48,719
to ensure democratic control

1146
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,139
and accountability to the people.

1147
00:41:51,139 --> 00:41:54,659
Abolish ICE and grant amnesty for all.

1148
00:41:56,060 --> 00:41:59,379
End sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran.

1149
00:41:59,379 --> 00:42:01,860
Free Palestine, quote,

1150
00:42:01,860 --> 00:42:05,459
free Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital.

1151
00:42:05,459 --> 00:42:07,899
End all military and economic aid to Israel,

1152
00:42:07,899 --> 00:42:10,020
prosecute U.S. and Israeli leaders

1153
00:42:10,020 --> 00:42:13,100
responsible for the genocide in Gaza.

1154
00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:17,500
Abolish the carceral state, listen, quote,

1155
00:42:17,500 --> 00:42:20,939
redirect police and prison funding to public services

1156
00:42:20,939 --> 00:42:23,620
as steps towards abolishing the carceral forces

1157
00:42:23,620 --> 00:42:25,139
of the capitalist state.

1158
00:42:25,139 --> 00:42:26,739
Y'all, it goes on and on and on.

1159
00:42:26,739 --> 00:42:28,899
Defund the Department of War,

1160
00:42:28,899 --> 00:42:32,219
replace the president and the Supreme Court

1161
00:42:32,219 --> 00:42:34,620
with an executive and judiciary chosen

1162
00:42:34,620 --> 00:42:37,659
and subordinate to Congress,

1163
00:42:37,659 --> 00:42:39,780
which they're hoping to take over.

1164
00:42:39,780 --> 00:42:41,219
And the last one is abolish the Senate.

1165
00:42:41,219 --> 00:42:42,219
Now, some of you may agree with that,

1166
00:42:42,219 --> 00:42:43,320
but just leave that one there.

1167
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:44,159
Okay.

1168
00:42:45,060 --> 00:42:46,459
It's fine, I'm kidding.

1169
00:42:46,459 --> 00:42:48,159
I love my colleagues over there.

1170
00:42:49,620 --> 00:42:53,340
There's a new Gallup and NBC poll

1171
00:42:53,340 --> 00:42:55,260
came out I think four days ago.

1172
00:42:55,260 --> 00:42:56,120
Listen to this.

1173
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,659
Only 29% of Democrat voters now say

1174
00:42:59,659 --> 00:43:01,780
they are proud to be American.

1175
00:43:02,219 --> 00:43:07,219
Over half now say they want to live in another country.

1176
00:43:07,340 --> 00:43:08,340
And go, go, go.

1177
00:43:15,060 --> 00:43:16,360
We can't deport that man.

1178
00:43:19,580 --> 00:43:21,979
So let me tell you, this is a very sobering,

1179
00:43:21,979 --> 00:43:22,820
let's see how much time I have.

1180
00:43:22,820 --> 00:43:23,820
Oh dear, three minutes.

1181
00:43:23,820 --> 00:43:27,020
Okay, look, I am very bullish about the midterms.

1182
00:43:27,020 --> 00:43:28,939
Let me just tell you right now,

1183
00:43:28,939 --> 00:43:31,820
as a leader of this little army in the house,

1184
00:43:31,820 --> 00:43:33,260
we are ready for this fight.

1185
00:43:33,260 --> 00:43:34,260
We're ready for this fight.

1186
00:43:34,260 --> 00:43:35,260
We're called for it.

1187
00:43:37,659 --> 00:43:39,020
I think that was the wrong clip.

1188
00:43:39,020 --> 00:43:42,580
He said it right after that, but whatever, I'll look for it.

1189
00:43:42,580 --> 00:43:46,439
Regardless, he said a lot of things there.

1190
00:43:46,439 --> 00:43:49,699
I don't know where he was getting a lot of this stuff from.

1191
00:43:49,699 --> 00:43:51,560
And I don't doubt that some of it

1192
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,419
is what these people are aiming to do

1193
00:43:53,419 --> 00:43:56,419
or trying to do beyond that.

1194
00:43:56,419 --> 00:43:58,820
I want to get the point where he says,

1195
00:43:59,659 --> 00:44:01,260
we're all going to jail, they're going to do stuff to us.

1196
00:44:01,260 --> 00:44:03,500
I think that was right after that.

1197
00:44:03,500 --> 00:44:06,340
But fuck ICE.

1198
00:44:06,340 --> 00:44:08,719
I'd abolish ICE ASAP.

1199
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:09,560
Fuck out of here.

1200
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,459
It's unconstitutional in the first place.

1201
00:44:11,459 --> 00:44:14,179
If you guys want to make the argument

1202
00:44:14,179 --> 00:44:17,179
about the freaking Department of Education,

1203
00:44:17,179 --> 00:44:19,780
then ICE and the Department of Homeland Security

1204
00:44:19,780 --> 00:44:21,540
should not exist.

1205
00:44:21,540 --> 00:44:23,659
It's a new construct after 9-11.

1206
00:44:24,540 --> 00:44:25,860
So fuck it.

1207
00:44:25,860 --> 00:44:27,139
Let's do it.

1208
00:44:27,580 --> 00:44:30,219
It could be gone for me for all I care.

1209
00:44:30,219 --> 00:44:31,560
I don't know, man.

1210
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:32,399
Thoughts real quick.

1211
00:44:32,399 --> 00:44:33,699
Not the right clip, but whatever.

1212
00:44:33,699 --> 00:44:34,899
He said quite a bit there.

1213
00:44:34,899 --> 00:44:38,100
Well, as he was reading off the list by the socialist,

1214
00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:40,899
I was leaning in a little bit like, go on.

1215
00:44:40,899 --> 00:44:43,540
Tell me more about your plan

1216
00:44:43,540 --> 00:44:46,639
to disrupt the corrupt power structure.

1217
00:44:46,639 --> 00:44:48,500
I mean, obviously everything that has happened

1218
00:44:48,500 --> 00:44:52,300
in the last 70 plus years has been an abject failure.

1219
00:44:52,300 --> 00:44:54,580
I mean, our government,

1220
00:44:54,580 --> 00:44:56,219
I mean, if you look at where I live now,

1221
00:44:56,260 --> 00:44:57,219
I'll just give you an example.

1222
00:44:57,219 --> 00:44:59,899
Cause I ran for Congress here in the fourth district of Texas

1223
00:44:59,899 --> 00:45:01,060
this used to be controlled.

1224
00:45:01,060 --> 00:45:04,260
This was the fourth district was the home of Sam Rayburn.

1225
00:45:04,260 --> 00:45:06,500
Sam Rayburn was the longest serving speaker of the house

1226
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:08,139
as a Democrat.

1227
00:45:08,139 --> 00:45:10,020
And he lived in Bonham, Texas.

1228
00:45:10,020 --> 00:45:14,719
I had a house there when I got back from serving in Iraq.

1229
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,260
And if you look at his life

1230
00:45:16,260 --> 00:45:18,179
and I read biographies on Sam Rayburn,

1231
00:45:19,340 --> 00:45:24,340
he wouldn't take donations from anyone over $250.

1232
00:45:24,459 --> 00:45:28,100
And when he died, this guy was offered the vice presidency

1233
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:32,860
under when Roosevelt ran for his fourth term or third term.

1234
00:45:34,060 --> 00:45:36,459
He was offered the presidency or the vice presidency.

1235
00:45:36,459 --> 00:45:37,300
He turned that down.

1236
00:45:37,300 --> 00:45:38,139
He was offered so much power,

1237
00:45:38,139 --> 00:45:39,739
but he's third in line for the presidency.

1238
00:45:39,739 --> 00:45:43,379
I mean, even after the 25th amendment.

1239
00:45:43,379 --> 00:45:45,300
So it had a lot of power, right?

1240
00:45:45,300 --> 00:45:48,179
He died and he had all of his savings

1241
00:45:48,179 --> 00:45:50,260
and everything totaled up to $25,000.

1242
00:45:52,300 --> 00:45:53,139
That's it.

1243
00:45:53,139 --> 00:45:56,100
And he still had in his house that he had,

1244
00:45:56,100 --> 00:45:57,300
there's a museum there.

1245
00:45:57,300 --> 00:45:59,060
It's like a tiny museum.

1246
00:45:59,060 --> 00:46:02,179
And he has the one item that he was able

1247
00:46:02,179 --> 00:46:04,300
to finally afford a Cadillac.

1248
00:46:04,300 --> 00:46:05,139
He wanted a Cadillac.

1249
00:46:05,139 --> 00:46:06,120
He's had one car.

1250
00:46:07,379 --> 00:46:09,500
And so it's just funny.

1251
00:46:09,500 --> 00:46:12,239
Like we go from that to somebody like Mike Johnson,

1252
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:14,979
who you don't even know who these people are.

1253
00:46:14,979 --> 00:46:17,659
I mean, I assume somebody that looks like Mike Johnson

1254
00:46:17,659 --> 00:46:21,260
is like the whole epitome of like weak men

1255
00:46:21,260 --> 00:46:23,659
create hard times kind of thing.

1256
00:46:23,659 --> 00:46:25,300
Like the wheel, the turning wheel,

1257
00:46:25,300 --> 00:46:28,459
or his look to me is like somebody you pass

1258
00:46:28,459 --> 00:46:30,260
on your way to like an internment camp

1259
00:46:30,260 --> 00:46:32,260
when he's like filing out, like doing,

1260
00:46:32,260 --> 00:46:33,580
like the banality of evil,

1261
00:46:33,580 --> 00:46:35,939
like chopping down little things on his typewriter.

1262
00:46:35,939 --> 00:46:37,300
You know, like that's the kind of guy

1263
00:46:37,300 --> 00:46:40,179
that this weak men create hard times.

1264
00:46:40,179 --> 00:46:42,340
There is nothing, there's no substance behind him.

1265
00:46:42,340 --> 00:46:45,439
There's no great story he's just bought and paid for.

1266
00:46:45,439 --> 00:46:47,379
And that's what Congress is now.

1267
00:46:47,379 --> 00:46:48,580
So I'd love a disruption.

1268
00:46:48,580 --> 00:46:51,780
I actually think that I'll throw this idea out there.

1269
00:46:51,780 --> 00:46:54,419
I'm all about, you know,

1270
00:46:54,419 --> 00:46:56,979
Andrew Jackson changed the system in America.

1271
00:46:56,979 --> 00:46:59,060
He was the first president, he's the seventh president.

1272
00:46:59,060 --> 00:47:02,459
He was the first president ever elected by popular vote.

1273
00:47:02,459 --> 00:47:04,340
Everything else before that,

1274
00:47:04,340 --> 00:47:09,340
from Washington to John Quincy Adams was by Congress.

1275
00:47:09,500 --> 00:47:10,659
I think we should go back to that.

1276
00:47:10,659 --> 00:47:13,760
And I think we should expand Congress

1277
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,659
to represent constitutionally

1278
00:47:15,659 --> 00:47:18,840
how it's supposed to be about 35,000, not 800,000.

1279
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,459
So I think we should have a congressman

1280
00:47:20,459 --> 00:47:23,820
for about 35,000 Americans or so constitutionally,

1281
00:47:23,820 --> 00:47:24,979
and those should elect the president.

1282
00:47:24,979 --> 00:47:27,860
I think we should get away, do away with the national vote

1283
00:47:27,860 --> 00:47:28,899
in the way that we've done things,

1284
00:47:28,899 --> 00:47:29,820
because it's so corrupt.

1285
00:47:29,820 --> 00:47:31,860
And we're getting into like the trillion dollar range

1286
00:47:31,860 --> 00:47:35,060
and all this garbage is so insane for elections.

1287
00:47:35,060 --> 00:47:36,699
It doesn't really, I mean, because you don't,

1288
00:47:36,699 --> 00:47:38,500
I think there needs to be more oversight.

1289
00:47:38,500 --> 00:47:41,459
I think there ought to be more closer representation

1290
00:47:41,459 --> 00:47:42,300
to the people.

1291
00:47:42,300 --> 00:47:44,699
Obviously I'm just dreaming here.

1292
00:47:44,699 --> 00:47:47,459
But when, if we're not going to do the things

1293
00:47:47,459 --> 00:47:49,219
that are actually going to help Americans,

1294
00:47:49,219 --> 00:47:52,860
like have a free market with certainty

1295
00:47:52,860 --> 00:47:55,620
and invite the world to build things here

1296
00:47:55,620 --> 00:47:57,699
and make things here and bring capital,

1297
00:47:57,699 --> 00:48:00,500
then we'll have to have some sort of

1298
00:48:00,500 --> 00:48:02,340
a socialistic thing in place.

1299
00:48:02,340 --> 00:48:04,860
So the country will catch on fire.

1300
00:48:04,860 --> 00:48:07,139
I mean, read history.

1301
00:48:07,139 --> 00:48:10,060
It never works when there's a systole and dystole,

1302
00:48:10,060 --> 00:48:14,540
when there's a concentration of wealth too high,

1303
00:48:15,379 --> 00:48:17,100
it breeds revolution either which way.

1304
00:48:17,100 --> 00:48:18,540
Wow.

1305
00:48:18,540 --> 00:48:20,699
Tony Arterburn.

1306
00:48:20,699 --> 00:48:21,540
Sorry about that.

1307
00:48:21,540 --> 00:48:23,459
Sorry, I had to go a little deep.

1308
00:48:23,459 --> 00:48:26,419
That was, I mean, if you go any deeper,

1309
00:48:26,419 --> 00:48:27,860
people might miss you.

1310
00:48:27,860 --> 00:48:29,300
Yeah, that was good.

1311
00:48:29,300 --> 00:48:31,100
That was perfect.

1312
00:48:31,100 --> 00:48:33,020
Ashley, your thoughts before we play this clip

1313
00:48:33,020 --> 00:48:34,979
and then we're getting up out of here.

1314
00:48:34,979 --> 00:48:37,100
Well, I don't really know how I could follow that up.

1315
00:48:37,100 --> 00:48:38,139
I will say that, yes,

1316
00:48:38,139 --> 00:48:40,379
some of the talking points I agree with,

1317
00:48:40,379 --> 00:48:43,419
like ending foreign funding for wars

1318
00:48:43,419 --> 00:48:45,979
and to stop funding genocide.

1319
00:48:45,979 --> 00:48:48,179
Yes, I 100% agree with that.

1320
00:48:48,179 --> 00:48:50,020
And I would be thrilled

1321
00:48:50,020 --> 00:48:54,100
if these people were ever held to account

1322
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:56,820
because they deserve it for their crimes

1323
00:48:56,820 --> 00:48:58,860
against us and the world.

1324
00:48:59,899 --> 00:49:01,219
100.

1325
00:49:01,219 --> 00:49:02,580
I agree with that too.

1326
00:49:02,580 --> 00:49:06,540
And I think most of the people listening here,

1327
00:49:07,620 --> 00:49:10,739
whether they agree or disagree with the points put out,

1328
00:49:10,739 --> 00:49:12,260
I think most of the people agree

1329
00:49:12,260 --> 00:49:13,620
that they don't want war.

1330
00:49:14,739 --> 00:49:17,699
I think that's fair of me to assume.

1331
00:49:18,780 --> 00:49:20,899
I think I found the clip.

1332
00:49:20,899 --> 00:49:22,060
Let's see Mike Johnson.

1333
00:49:23,340 --> 00:49:24,580
Come on.

1334
00:49:24,580 --> 00:49:25,780
And now it won't play.

1335
00:49:25,780 --> 00:49:27,580
It's just not meant to be.

1336
00:49:27,580 --> 00:49:28,659
It's not meant to be.

1337
00:49:28,659 --> 00:49:29,659
I can read it though.

1338
00:49:29,659 --> 00:49:30,500
Hold on, let me see.

1339
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:31,699
Come on, play.

1340
00:49:31,699 --> 00:49:32,540
It won't do it.

1341
00:49:32,540 --> 00:49:33,739
Let me refresh it.

1342
00:49:33,739 --> 00:49:36,060
Maybe that'll make a difference.

1343
00:49:36,060 --> 00:49:37,459
Tony, keep the people entertained.

1344
00:49:37,459 --> 00:49:38,459
Tell a joke.

1345
00:49:38,459 --> 00:49:41,659
Oh, well, you put me on the spot like that.

1346
00:49:41,659 --> 00:49:42,500
Sorry, sorry.

1347
00:49:42,500 --> 00:49:44,020
Could I interrupt really quick?

1348
00:49:44,020 --> 00:49:44,860
Tony, think about it.

1349
00:49:44,860 --> 00:49:46,100
And I just wanted to say,

1350
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:49,020
this is the one thing that I do think a lot of us,

1351
00:49:49,020 --> 00:49:51,899
no matter where we're at on the political paradigm,

1352
00:49:51,899 --> 00:49:55,020
would support that because people are tired.

1353
00:49:55,020 --> 00:49:56,659
They're tired of war.

1354
00:49:56,659 --> 00:49:59,540
The default state of the American people

1355
00:49:59,540 --> 00:50:02,300
is to be anti-war, or at least it used to be.

1356
00:50:02,300 --> 00:50:04,219
And this was why the government

1357
00:50:04,219 --> 00:50:07,100
had to make such a huge propaganda push

1358
00:50:07,100 --> 00:50:10,699
leading into World War I to get the consent of the people.

1359
00:50:10,699 --> 00:50:12,580
This is when we had the four minute men

1360
00:50:12,580 --> 00:50:13,899
and the junior four minute men

1361
00:50:13,899 --> 00:50:16,899
and the identification of excellent orators

1362
00:50:16,899 --> 00:50:19,939
because people didn't want it.

1363
00:50:19,939 --> 00:50:22,340
And I think they still don't.

1364
00:50:22,340 --> 00:50:23,179
They don't.

1365
00:50:23,179 --> 00:50:25,979
Without them being manipulated

1366
00:50:25,979 --> 00:50:28,340
in order to manufacture that consent.

1367
00:50:28,340 --> 00:50:31,100
I think that's probably universal worldwide.

1368
00:50:31,100 --> 00:50:31,939
Right.

1369
00:50:31,939 --> 00:50:35,500
We are run worldwide, not only by PDF files,

1370
00:50:35,699 --> 00:50:38,580
we're on YouTube, but we're run by psychopaths,

1371
00:50:38,580 --> 00:50:40,060
which is kind of the same thing.

1372
00:50:40,060 --> 00:50:41,219
I mean, it's pretty much,

1373
00:50:41,219 --> 00:50:46,219
but the most Machiavellian sociopathic in human nature

1374
00:50:47,100 --> 00:50:49,820
with our current system, the way that it is,

1375
00:50:49,820 --> 00:50:50,659
rise to the top.

1376
00:50:50,659 --> 00:50:51,939
It's not about meritocracy.

1377
00:50:51,939 --> 00:50:54,860
If you look at our politicians, what have they done?

1378
00:50:54,860 --> 00:50:57,459
Well, they're just willing to sell their mother for a dollar.

1379
00:50:57,459 --> 00:50:59,139
You know, I think it was somebody that,

1380
00:50:59,139 --> 00:51:01,979
I think it was Lord George that said about Winston Churchill

1381
00:51:02,020 --> 00:51:05,780
that he would make a drum of his own mother's skin

1382
00:51:05,780 --> 00:51:07,139
to sound his own praises.

1383
00:51:08,659 --> 00:51:09,500
Good Lord.

1384
00:51:09,500 --> 00:51:10,340
Let me try this.

1385
00:51:12,340 --> 00:51:13,179
All right, it's not playing,

1386
00:51:13,179 --> 00:51:14,340
so I'm gonna have to read it to you.

1387
00:51:14,340 --> 00:51:15,860
Okay, this is what he said.

1388
00:51:15,860 --> 00:51:20,020
You read it in a weaselly Israeli first voice.

1389
00:51:20,020 --> 00:51:21,580
I can't even pretend.

1390
00:51:22,820 --> 00:51:25,100
If we lose the midterms, how's that?

1391
00:51:25,100 --> 00:51:27,540
If we lose the midterms,

1392
00:51:27,540 --> 00:51:30,179
if these, oh, you know who would do an excellent job at it?

1393
00:51:30,179 --> 00:51:32,260
Alex Jones would go, uh-huh, mm.

1394
00:51:32,260 --> 00:51:37,260
I mean, if we lose the midterms, mm, mm, listen to it.

1395
00:51:37,899 --> 00:51:41,219
You gotta get those, get that gravelly in there.

1396
00:51:41,219 --> 00:51:42,620
If we lose the midterms,

1397
00:51:42,620 --> 00:51:45,020
that's my Alex Jones impression.

1398
00:51:45,020 --> 00:51:48,500
These Democrats will turn every committee of Congress

1399
00:51:48,500 --> 00:51:50,580
into an investigative body,

1400
00:51:50,580 --> 00:51:53,899
and they'll go after the president's family, check for that,

1401
00:51:53,899 --> 00:51:56,219
the cabinet, check for that,

1402
00:51:56,219 --> 00:51:58,459
his donors, friends, check for that,

1403
00:51:58,459 --> 00:52:02,419
half of you in this room, check for that, will be targeted.

1404
00:52:02,419 --> 00:52:04,540
I run the protection program.

1405
00:52:04,540 --> 00:52:06,300
I will take care of you.

1406
00:52:06,300 --> 00:52:07,899
No, you won't.

1407
00:52:07,899 --> 00:52:08,979
No, you won't.

1408
00:52:08,979 --> 00:52:12,020
You could barely take care of yourself.

1409
00:52:12,020 --> 00:52:13,540
You're not gonna be able to take care of anyone.

1410
00:52:13,540 --> 00:52:15,419
Now, I am,

1411
00:52:17,179 --> 00:52:20,060
I don't even wanna say cautiously optimistic

1412
00:52:20,060 --> 00:52:20,899
that this will happen.

1413
00:52:20,899 --> 00:52:24,379
I don't know if it will if these people get into power.

1414
00:52:24,379 --> 00:52:26,780
More of the same is what we might get,

1415
00:52:26,780 --> 00:52:31,500
but if this happens, I am all for it.

1416
00:52:31,500 --> 00:52:35,419
Investigate all of them, all of them.

1417
00:52:35,419 --> 00:52:38,219
I want them all investigated, 100%,

1418
00:52:38,219 --> 00:52:39,899
all of these corrupt sons of bitches

1419
00:52:39,899 --> 00:52:44,899
that made billions, not millions, billions off of our backs

1420
00:52:45,100 --> 00:52:48,179
and off of our mental state.

1421
00:52:48,179 --> 00:52:51,139
They hijacked our cognitive liberty.

1422
00:52:52,060 --> 00:52:53,580
Fuck them for that.

1423
00:52:53,580 --> 00:52:55,340
All right, Tony Arterburn, your thoughts,

1424
00:52:55,340 --> 00:52:56,419
and then I'm gonna go to Ashley.

1425
00:52:57,060 --> 00:52:58,300
She's gonna close it out, and we're getting up out of here.

1426
00:52:58,300 --> 00:52:59,139
Go ahead.

1427
00:52:59,139 --> 00:53:00,739
Well, you mentioned, I think I'll fair about Mondami

1428
00:53:00,739 --> 00:53:03,419
and some of his people that he has endorsed,

1429
00:53:03,419 --> 00:53:07,179
and there's a growing underlying movement in this country,

1430
00:53:07,179 --> 00:53:08,860
probably funded by the top also.

1431
00:53:08,860 --> 00:53:11,739
I mean, that's what they like to do, but ideas have failed.

1432
00:53:11,739 --> 00:53:14,739
The gods of modern conservatism failed,

1433
00:53:14,739 --> 00:53:17,739
not because conservatism or traditionalism was wrong.

1434
00:53:17,739 --> 00:53:19,459
It was the package, the way that they did it.

1435
00:53:19,459 --> 00:53:23,699
I think there's a fruit of a poisonous tree.

1436
00:53:23,699 --> 00:53:26,100
You look at somebody like Mike Johnson,

1437
00:53:26,780 --> 00:53:29,139
and you realize that his, whatever rhetoric

1438
00:53:29,139 --> 00:53:31,899
about America first or fiscal responsibility

1439
00:53:31,899 --> 00:53:34,340
always comes second to whatever their foreign policy

1440
00:53:34,340 --> 00:53:37,659
or geopolitical goals are, or their servants

1441
00:53:37,659 --> 00:53:40,260
to most multinational corporations and themselves.

1442
00:53:40,260 --> 00:53:42,260
I mean, this isn't that hard to figure out.

1443
00:53:42,260 --> 00:53:46,100
It's not that the majority of ideas on the right were bad.

1444
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:48,820
It's just that when implemented by the servants

1445
00:53:48,820 --> 00:53:52,179
of the people, they are bastardized and misused,

1446
00:53:52,179 --> 00:53:54,100
and so that's where we are, and those ideas failed.

1447
00:53:54,699 --> 00:53:57,300
The other end of the spectrum is very attractive,

1448
00:53:58,459 --> 00:54:00,979
so we have to watch that very closely,

1449
00:54:00,979 --> 00:54:03,659
what is actually pushed out there,

1450
00:54:03,659 --> 00:54:05,540
and what people will go for,

1451
00:54:05,540 --> 00:54:10,100
but I think the future is going to be decentralized

1452
00:54:10,100 --> 00:54:13,699
in so many ways politically, whatever that list of things,

1453
00:54:13,699 --> 00:54:16,659
even the multi-party system,

1454
00:54:16,659 --> 00:54:18,620
I think will probably come to America.

1455
00:54:20,060 --> 00:54:22,860
Less and less will be the two-party system.

1456
00:54:22,860 --> 00:54:24,459
I think they want to hold that together

1457
00:54:24,459 --> 00:54:26,219
as long as they can, because it gives you

1458
00:54:26,219 --> 00:54:29,659
the illusion of choice, the illusion of freedom,

1459
00:54:29,659 --> 00:54:31,659
and there's nobody quite as enslaved

1460
00:54:31,659 --> 00:54:34,979
as the person who thinks they're free when they're not.

1461
00:54:34,979 --> 00:54:37,020
You're absolutely right, by the way.

1462
00:54:37,020 --> 00:54:42,020
That's the top form of slavery,

1463
00:54:43,179 --> 00:54:44,979
when you think you're free.

1464
00:54:44,979 --> 00:54:48,219
You're not coming back from that, or good luck, you know?

1465
00:54:48,219 --> 00:54:52,179
I want to give a big shout out to Rob for Trump

1466
00:54:52,540 --> 00:54:53,620
in the Rumble chat.

1467
00:54:53,620 --> 00:54:55,939
I just tuned into the Rumble chat, what is going on?

1468
00:54:55,939 --> 00:54:59,780
He has changed his name to Rob, not for Trump.

1469
00:55:00,899 --> 00:55:02,659
I fucking love it, Rob,

1470
00:55:02,659 --> 00:55:07,060
and Rob has given me shit for a long time.

1471
00:55:07,060 --> 00:55:11,260
I don't know who you are, Rob, but kudos to you, all right?

1472
00:55:11,260 --> 00:55:14,060
Happy July 4th, my guy.

1473
00:55:14,060 --> 00:55:17,780
Let's celebrate America's independence,

1474
00:55:17,780 --> 00:55:21,419
not only from the British and becoming a country

1475
00:55:21,459 --> 00:55:22,699
that everybody looked up to,

1476
00:55:22,699 --> 00:55:24,659
but our independence from the parasites

1477
00:55:24,659 --> 00:55:29,300
that have taken over in the last few years, all right?

1478
00:55:29,300 --> 00:55:30,459
I love it.

1479
00:55:30,459 --> 00:55:33,860
Rob, not for fucking Trump, fantastic.

1480
00:55:33,860 --> 00:55:36,260
Tony Arterburn, the wisest of all the wolves.

1481
00:55:36,260 --> 00:55:38,100
Hold on, did I get Ashley's point?

1482
00:55:38,100 --> 00:55:39,979
You didn't get, we skipped over Ashley,

1483
00:55:39,979 --> 00:55:41,500
which is gonna be the most enlightened.

1484
00:55:41,500 --> 00:55:42,820
We have to talk to Ashley.

1485
00:55:42,820 --> 00:55:44,580
What's going on, Ash?

1486
00:55:44,580 --> 00:55:47,179
Well, I just, I do agree with that, right?

1487
00:55:47,179 --> 00:55:50,179
I think that there is, and we've talked about

1488
00:55:50,179 --> 00:55:51,899
some of the excellent videos of people

1489
00:55:51,899 --> 00:55:53,979
coming to the United States and visiting

1490
00:55:53,979 --> 00:55:55,459
and loving it here, right?

1491
00:55:55,459 --> 00:55:59,419
So I feel like that is, that's really positive.

1492
00:55:59,419 --> 00:56:00,739
There's good stuff out there.

1493
00:56:00,739 --> 00:56:02,939
People have been coming to the United States,

1494
00:56:02,939 --> 00:56:04,500
they've been treated well,

1495
00:56:04,500 --> 00:56:08,739
and I think some unity has been created there.

1496
00:56:08,739 --> 00:56:11,659
I think some excitement for the American experiment

1497
00:56:11,659 --> 00:56:14,179
has been created, and I think that's a good thing.

1498
00:56:14,179 --> 00:56:19,179
So I do think that we are headed for some kind of shift.

1499
00:56:19,580 --> 00:56:22,979
It certainly feels revelatory at times, right?

1500
00:56:22,979 --> 00:56:26,340
So I think that there is some kind of reckoning,

1501
00:56:26,340 --> 00:56:29,540
whether how manufactured that may be, I'm not sure.

1502
00:56:30,459 --> 00:56:33,260
But yeah, I think we're looking forward

1503
00:56:33,260 --> 00:56:36,860
to seeing the Trump era be over.

1504
00:56:38,219 --> 00:56:39,780
And will it be better?

1505
00:56:39,780 --> 00:56:42,139
I don't know, we'll just have to see at that time.

1506
00:56:42,139 --> 00:56:44,939
But anyway, happy 4th of July.

1507
00:56:44,939 --> 00:56:47,939
Happy 4th, fantastic show, ladies and gentlemen.

1508
00:56:47,939 --> 00:56:51,139
Bronx snopper, he's gonna bring the wood chipper,

1509
00:56:51,139 --> 00:56:52,820
I'm down, I'm down with it.

1510
00:56:52,820 --> 00:56:55,300
Jackson T. Barrett was talking about

1511
00:56:55,300 --> 00:56:58,620
Pizzagate and Comet, ping pong, I've been there.

1512
00:56:58,620 --> 00:57:01,060
There's nothing going on there, as far as I know.

1513
00:57:01,060 --> 00:57:06,060
Pizza's not so good, but the, what is it?

1514
00:57:06,580 --> 00:57:10,379
The macaroni and cheese fried,

1515
00:57:11,459 --> 00:57:12,500
whatever the hell they call them,

1516
00:57:12,500 --> 00:57:14,100
those are pretty good, get those.

1517
00:57:14,100 --> 00:57:16,060
Pizza, subpar.

1518
00:57:17,060 --> 00:57:19,379
All right, that is it.

1519
00:57:19,379 --> 00:57:21,139
I'll shout out the chat, I'm gonna let Tony go,

1520
00:57:21,139 --> 00:57:22,139
because I know Tony has to go.

1521
00:57:22,139 --> 00:57:24,300
If Ashley wants to hang with me while I shout out the chat,

1522
00:57:24,300 --> 00:57:26,139
that's fine, it's only gonna take 10 minutes.

1523
00:57:26,139 --> 00:57:28,260
And then she has to go do Nights of the Storm.

1524
00:57:28,260 --> 00:57:30,939
Tony Arterburn, the wisest of all the wolves.

1525
00:57:30,939 --> 00:57:32,260
What's going on, sir?

1526
00:57:32,260 --> 00:57:33,100
Thank you.

1527
00:57:33,100 --> 00:57:35,820
Tony.gold, my website, Tony.gold, you can find me there.

1528
00:57:35,820 --> 00:57:37,300
Arterburn Radio Transmission.

1529
00:57:37,300 --> 00:57:39,860
Did we get any new reviews?

1530
00:57:39,860 --> 00:57:40,939
No.

1531
00:57:40,939 --> 00:57:42,020
I can't believe it.

1532
00:57:42,020 --> 00:57:45,100
Folks, you would give up your right to free speech

1533
00:57:45,100 --> 00:57:46,060
on America Unplugged,

1534
00:57:46,060 --> 00:57:47,939
you just gotta give us a five-star review.

1535
00:57:47,939 --> 00:57:51,540
It was a storm of reviews, and now they've stopped.

1536
00:57:51,540 --> 00:57:52,620
I can't believe it.

1537
00:57:52,620 --> 00:57:55,179
I know, if you're hearing our voice, do something.

1538
00:57:55,179 --> 00:57:57,540
Even a quote, you wanna hear something,

1539
00:57:57,540 --> 00:57:58,899
literally, you can type it,

1540
00:57:58,899 --> 00:58:00,939
and you have divine-like powers.

1541
00:58:00,939 --> 00:58:03,540
We will regurgitate, like a puppet.

1542
00:58:03,540 --> 00:58:05,939
Yeah, you could say, Billy, you're a dumbass,

1543
00:58:05,939 --> 00:58:09,260
and I will say, Billy, you're a dumbass.

1544
00:58:09,260 --> 00:58:10,780
Or, Billy, I'm a dumbass.

1545
00:58:11,899 --> 00:58:13,179
Whatever you want me to say, I'll say it.

1546
00:58:13,179 --> 00:58:14,379
Five-star review.

1547
00:58:14,379 --> 00:58:16,340
Billy, tell Tony you love him.

1548
00:58:16,340 --> 00:58:17,179
No.

1549
00:58:17,179 --> 00:58:18,020
In a romantic way.

1550
00:58:18,020 --> 00:58:20,060
Out of the question like that.

1551
00:58:20,060 --> 00:58:23,139
If you wanna see that, you gotta go to onlywolves.com

1552
00:58:23,139 --> 00:58:24,459
and Only Wolves.

1553
00:58:24,459 --> 00:58:25,300
That's right.

1554
00:58:26,939 --> 00:58:28,780
You have to pay extra for that.

1555
00:58:28,780 --> 00:58:29,899
That's not free.

1556
00:58:29,899 --> 00:58:33,540
Okay, Ashley, tell the people where they can find you.

1557
00:58:33,540 --> 00:58:35,620
Yep, they can find me at my show,

1558
00:58:35,620 --> 00:58:38,459
Think, Change, Repeat, on Rumble and YouTube for the moment.

1559
00:58:38,459 --> 00:58:40,939
Gonna try to get to Podcatchers later,

1560
00:58:40,939 --> 00:58:44,780
and at Nights of the Storm, 2 p.m. every Saturday.

1561
00:58:44,780 --> 00:58:45,939
All right, fantastic.

1562
00:58:45,939 --> 00:58:46,860
Robin is in the chat.

1563
00:58:46,860 --> 00:58:48,100
How you doing, Robin?

1564
00:58:48,100 --> 00:58:49,139
Nicholas is in the chat.

1565
00:58:49,139 --> 00:58:49,979
What's going on?

1566
00:58:49,979 --> 00:58:52,459
NMQ8HM is in the chat.

1567
00:58:52,459 --> 00:58:54,100
My boy, Kenny Powers.

1568
00:58:54,100 --> 00:58:56,060
Don't tell me Zami Zayn became champion,

1569
00:58:56,060 --> 00:58:57,739
because I missed it if he did.

1570
00:58:57,739 --> 00:58:59,100
I'm totally against that.

1571
00:58:59,100 --> 00:59:00,939
I know it's gonna happen at some point.

1572
00:59:00,939 --> 00:59:03,580
Grand Theft Auto VI is coming out in November,

1573
00:59:03,580 --> 00:59:05,179
and once that happens,

1574
00:59:05,179 --> 00:59:06,820
you're not gonna see me for three months.

1575
00:59:06,820 --> 00:59:08,899
I'm just not going to be around.

1576
00:59:08,899 --> 00:59:11,300
If you wanna see me, go see me at GTA VI.

1577
00:59:11,300 --> 00:59:12,219
If you play, let me know.

1578
00:59:12,219 --> 00:59:15,340
Give me your gamer tag, and we can do that.

1579
00:59:15,340 --> 00:59:16,419
That's gonna be freaking great.

1580
00:59:16,419 --> 00:59:18,979
We should do an America Unplugged stream

1581
00:59:18,979 --> 00:59:20,939
on Grand Theft Auto VI.

1582
00:59:20,939 --> 00:59:21,899
Tony, you would love it.

1583
00:59:21,899 --> 00:59:23,459
It would be fantastic.

1584
00:59:23,459 --> 00:59:25,020
Who else do we have here?

1585
00:59:25,020 --> 00:59:26,139
Marco is in the chat.

1586
00:59:26,139 --> 00:59:27,580
How are you, Bronkstopper?

1587
00:59:27,580 --> 00:59:28,419
What's going on?

1588
00:59:28,419 --> 00:59:29,260
Thanks for being here.

1589
00:59:29,260 --> 00:59:30,139
Ron Helton.

1590
00:59:30,139 --> 00:59:31,379
Jackson T. Barrett.

1591
00:59:31,379 --> 00:59:33,260
Mr. Consistent, how are you, sir?

1592
00:59:33,260 --> 00:59:34,340
What's going on?

1593
00:59:34,340 --> 00:59:35,219
We had a couple of others.

1594
00:59:35,219 --> 00:59:38,379
I saw Jeannie Poole in the chat.

1595
00:59:39,100 --> 00:59:41,699
I saw Peter Seekosh in the chat.

1596
00:59:41,699 --> 00:59:43,060
Gar Goldsmith, what's going on?

1597
00:59:43,060 --> 00:59:43,939
He's always listening.

1598
00:59:43,939 --> 00:59:44,739
I didn't see him in the chat,

1599
00:59:44,739 --> 00:59:46,500
but I know he was listening.

1600
00:59:46,500 --> 00:59:48,379
Karen Carpenter, what is going on?

1601
00:59:48,379 --> 00:59:50,100
Greetings and blessings to you.

1602
00:59:50,100 --> 00:59:51,739
Think I said what's up to Robin already,

1603
00:59:51,739 --> 00:59:53,820
but if I haven't, what's going on?

1604
00:59:53,820 --> 00:59:57,179
Bebe, or Bebe, I don't know how you want me to pronounce it.

1605
00:59:57,179 --> 00:59:59,300
You know, that was Nixon's friend.

1606
00:59:59,300 --> 01:00:00,739
It was a real estate developer.

1607
01:00:00,739 --> 01:00:02,300
Nixon would go down.

1608
01:00:02,300 --> 01:00:05,820
You just think, Bebe was Nixon's best friend,

1609
01:00:05,820 --> 01:00:06,979
so I'm glad he's still sticking him

1610
01:00:06,979 --> 01:00:08,659
from beyond the grave.

1611
01:00:08,659 --> 01:00:10,100
Thank you, Bebe Rubonzo.

1612
01:00:10,100 --> 01:00:12,860
We are broadcasting in Hades right now.

1613
01:00:14,179 --> 01:00:15,020
Lamb's Grace.

1614
01:00:15,020 --> 01:00:17,860
That's really not that far from the truth.

1615
01:00:17,860 --> 01:00:19,459
Live from hell.

1616
01:00:21,139 --> 01:00:23,860
The broadcast, the official broadcast of Bebop.

1617
01:00:23,860 --> 01:00:25,899
Right, freaking, who else?

1618
01:00:25,899 --> 01:00:26,739
What did I say?

1619
01:00:26,739 --> 01:00:27,580
I said somebody else was there.

1620
01:00:27,580 --> 01:00:28,620
I don't want to miss him.

1621
01:00:28,620 --> 01:00:30,620
Lamb's Grace, how are you, Lamb's Grace?

1622
01:00:30,620 --> 01:00:32,739
Liz the Iron Maiden, if you're still listening,

1623
01:00:32,739 --> 01:00:36,020
blessings to you all the way across the pond.

1624
01:00:36,060 --> 01:00:39,179
Let me go over to, oh, hold on.

1625
01:00:39,179 --> 01:00:41,820
TCCT, I don't even know what this is.

1626
01:00:41,820 --> 01:00:44,179
Y2Y, but they've been here before.

1627
01:00:44,179 --> 01:00:46,100
They actually agreed with me on something today.

1628
01:00:46,100 --> 01:00:47,260
Typically, they're just making fun of me.

1629
01:00:47,260 --> 01:00:48,419
What's up, how are you?

1630
01:00:49,899 --> 01:00:52,060
Let's see, let me go over to Rumble

1631
01:00:52,060 --> 01:00:55,020
and say what's up to my people in the Rumble chat.

1632
01:00:56,260 --> 01:00:58,340
SMU asking what's going on.

1633
01:00:58,340 --> 01:01:02,419
Rob, not for Trump, gets another shout out.

1634
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:06,580
I didn't feel dirty going to the Rumble chat.

1635
01:01:06,580 --> 01:01:09,300
I just, didn't we figure out a way

1636
01:01:09,300 --> 01:01:12,219
to have this stream on StreamYard?

1637
01:01:12,219 --> 01:01:14,020
It happened for a little bit and then it went away.

1638
01:01:14,020 --> 01:01:15,860
We got to do that again so I could have the-

1639
01:01:15,860 --> 01:01:16,699
Somewhat, yeah.

1640
01:01:16,699 --> 01:01:20,219
If you have the technical expertise, let us know again.

1641
01:01:20,219 --> 01:01:21,419
I forgot how to do it.

1642
01:01:21,419 --> 01:01:22,340
We'll figure it out.

1643
01:01:22,340 --> 01:01:24,899
Truth Refugee, burn it down.

1644
01:01:24,899 --> 01:01:27,739
We're going to do that in like a minute.

1645
01:01:27,739 --> 01:01:30,379
So stick around to help us light the fire.

1646
01:01:30,379 --> 01:01:31,219
What's up?

1647
01:01:31,219 --> 01:01:33,300
Do not obey in the chat.

1648
01:01:33,300 --> 01:01:36,459
Nostradamus, hey, tell me something.

1649
01:01:36,459 --> 01:01:38,100
Listen, I'm tired of working.

1650
01:01:38,100 --> 01:01:38,939
I'm tired of it.

1651
01:01:38,939 --> 01:01:40,739
I got two jobs, man.

1652
01:01:40,739 --> 01:01:43,139
Give me the lottery numbers.

1653
01:01:43,139 --> 01:01:46,020
I promise I will cut you in.

1654
01:01:46,020 --> 01:01:48,540
I know it's against the laws of the universe

1655
01:01:48,540 --> 01:01:52,020
for you to use your powers for your own benefit.

1656
01:01:52,020 --> 01:01:55,500
But listen, if I transferred over to you,

1657
01:01:55,500 --> 01:01:56,540
it might negate some of this.

1658
01:01:56,540 --> 01:01:57,459
I can't promise this.

1659
01:01:57,459 --> 01:01:59,459
There might be a world of hurt coming to you,

1660
01:01:59,459 --> 01:02:00,939
but hook me up anyway.

1661
01:02:01,580 --> 01:02:03,620
I need those numbers, and I need them ASAP.

1662
01:02:03,620 --> 01:02:05,020
Okay, who else do we have?

1663
01:02:06,219 --> 01:02:10,459
All right, we do Misfit, 1904.

1664
01:02:11,500 --> 01:02:13,300
I think I know who that is.

1665
01:02:13,300 --> 01:02:15,020
Dad, die, what's going on?

1666
01:02:15,020 --> 01:02:17,179
No voter ID is in the chat.

1667
01:02:17,179 --> 01:02:20,580
Prof138, Birdhouse Blues, what's going on?

1668
01:02:20,580 --> 01:02:22,139
The Oracle of Truth is in the chat.

1669
01:02:22,139 --> 01:02:22,979
How are you?

1670
01:02:22,979 --> 01:02:26,820
Harps from Fictional Australia is here.

1671
01:02:26,820 --> 01:02:28,139
How are you?

1672
01:02:28,139 --> 01:02:29,219
And I think that's it.

1673
01:02:29,219 --> 01:02:30,219
I mean, I can keep going up.

1674
01:02:30,219 --> 01:02:31,459
Maybe I'll find somebody new,

1675
01:02:31,459 --> 01:02:34,060
but if I missed you this week,

1676
01:02:34,060 --> 01:02:36,899
I'll catch you next week, Lord willing.

1677
01:02:36,899 --> 01:02:38,179
Everybody be good.

1678
01:02:38,179 --> 01:02:39,699
Tony, we gonna burn it down?

1679
01:02:39,699 --> 01:02:40,699
I think so.

1680
01:02:40,699 --> 01:02:43,699
Night of the Storm, go tune in tonight to the Storm.

1681
01:02:43,699 --> 01:02:45,459
Let's burn it down.

1682
01:02:45,459 --> 01:02:47,100
Done. Bye.

1683
01:02:47,100 --> 01:02:57,100
������

1684
01:02:57,100 --> 01:03:07,100

1685
