What is going on? Welcome to America Unplugged. My name is Billy Ray Valentine.
00:41.900 --> 00:45.340
No Tony Arterburn here today. Blessings to you,
00:45.420 --> 00:48.940
Tony, wherever you may be traveling across the globe or
00:49.100 --> 00:52.700
the plane, depending on what you
00:53.180 --> 00:56.780
subscribe to. We don't discriminate here on America Unplugged.
00:57.280 --> 01:00.810
We may criticize, but we certainly don't discriminate. You can, you can come and And
01:00.890 --> 01:04.330
we can all partake whether we live on a plane or on a globe.
01:04.730 --> 01:08.730
Ladies and gents, Donald Jeffries the Legendary!
01:08.890 --> 01:12.090
How are you? What is going on? Uh, good to be here
01:12.590 --> 01:16.730
and welcome aboard. It looks like some of the Ali Top Files fans from yesterday's
01:17.230 --> 01:20.650
show are here, so welcome aboard. We had a good discussion. We're chilling.
01:20.810 --> 01:23.610
As I mentioned before the chat, I'm getting ready for Bobâ to see Bob Dylan
01:23.770 --> 01:26.410
again tonight for I don't know how many times it's been, and getting ready to
01:26.910 --> 01:29.770
be disappointed. So look for a future Substack where I'll be talking about my bitter
01:30.170 --> 01:32.500
experience seeing my favorite guy Just want to get in concert.
01:34.340 --> 01:37.220
Fantastic. If there was ever a reason to sign up to Don's, uh,
01:38.020 --> 01:40.740
Substack, now is the time. The most riveting,
01:41.540 --> 01:45.380
uh, story that he ever wrote will, will come out in a, in a matter
01:45.460 --> 01:48.820
of hours after he sees Bob Dylan, ladies and gents.
01:49.320 --> 01:52.500
And of course, Ashley is here. How are you, Ashley? What's going on? Think,
01:52.660 --> 01:55.220
Change, Repeat. We got some books in the bookshelf.
01:55.700 --> 01:57.860
We're stepping it up. What's going on?
01:58.890 --> 02:03.210
Well, I'm very happy to be here, and I'm, I'm working on getting this
02:03.370 --> 02:07.050
office set up. So I haveâ I'm not on a Buffalo
02:07.290 --> 02:11.210
Bills crash table anymore. I'm on an actual cheap little
02:11.530 --> 02:14.890
desk from Facebook Marketplace, and I got my mic stand back.
02:14.970 --> 02:18.650
It was in a coffee cup for a while, so we're elevating. And I've got
02:18.730 --> 02:22.250
my, my cat-mountedâ my desk-mounted cat
02:22.410 --> 02:25.570
beds over here for those guys to work. There you go. We're in
02:26.070 --> 02:29.490
great shape. We are moving along fantastic. I am still in the kitchen.
02:29.650 --> 02:33.490
Uh, maybe one day I will graduate out of the kitchen, but until
02:33.650 --> 02:37.410
then, I am in the kitchen. Ladies and gentlemen, this is where I am.
02:37.490 --> 02:40.610
It's a really big kitchen. It's an old-school kitchen
02:40.850 --> 02:44.610
which allows me to be in it. Uh, but you know, hey, it is
02:44.770 --> 02:47.890
what it is. All right, man, a lot of things went on this week.
02:47.970 --> 02:51.520
Uh, Ashley wants to talk about Cuba. Cuba is on the radar.
02:52.020 --> 02:54.400
We spoke about this a few months ago, of course. I mean, it's pretty evident
02:54.560 --> 02:57.600
to anybody that's been following what's been going on what
02:57.760 --> 03:00.720
Marco Rubio's intentions are, right? And, uh,
03:01.280 --> 03:05.280
I, Iâ if I remember correctly, Donald Trump said
03:05.840 --> 03:08.960
a few months agoâ maybe I'll find the clip and play it hereâ he was
03:09.460 --> 03:12.880
like, I'm gonna have the honor of toppling Cuba. It's gonna be me.
03:13.380 --> 03:16.400
I'm going to do it. You know, like it's, like it's a badge of honor
03:16.560 --> 03:19.360
of some sort. He's like, no other president did it. I'm going to do it.
03:19.540 --> 03:23.300
I wonder what they told him, you know, because Trump is
03:23.540 --> 03:26.900
becoming increasingly evident that Trump has no idea what the fuck is going on.
03:27.060 --> 03:30.740
So people are telling him things and he just believes it and regurgitates
03:30.820 --> 03:34.580
whatever they tell him. Whateverâ you are going to be the man to bring about
03:34.820 --> 03:38.180
change in Cuba. Finally, it's going to be you.
03:38.420 --> 03:41.780
You are the Messiah, you know. Um, quite literally,
03:42.100 --> 03:46.180
you know, these people are calling him, uh, you know, the conduit of God.
03:46.280 --> 03:49.800
Pretty much. There wasâ I played it on Guerrilla Underground about 2 weeks agoâ
03:49.880 --> 03:53.160
that there was this lady that opened up a portal supposedly over
03:53.320 --> 03:57.000
the White House so Donald Trump and God could have
03:57.320 --> 04:01.080
direct communication because, you know, the clouds were getting in the way. So she
04:01.160 --> 04:04.440
was like, yeah, I'm gonna open up a port. I did open up a portal.
04:04.520 --> 04:07.800
And I'm like, when the hell did you think God
04:07.960 --> 04:11.240
needed your help to do this? You know, you needed to be
04:11.320 --> 04:14.740
the one. But, but this is what people are thinking. Overall. So we're going to
04:15.240 --> 04:18.740
talk about that. Don Jeffries wants to talk about the NDAA,
04:18.820 --> 04:22.020
so we will talk about that. I got a clip of Elon Musk,
04:22.900 --> 04:26.500
uh, talking about his support for the far right, so I'm
04:27.000 --> 04:30.020
gonna play that and we'll talk a little bit about that. But Ashley,
04:30.520 --> 04:32.660
I'm going to turn it over to you. We're going to start with you.
04:33.160 --> 04:35.700
Um, tell us about Cuba. Tell us what, what, what,
04:35.940 --> 04:38.980
uh, prompted concern, uh, for you.
04:40.070 --> 04:42.870
Okay, so one of the things thatâ it's exactly like what you said. This has
04:43.030 --> 04:45.750
kind of been on our radar for the last couple months at least.
04:46.550 --> 04:50.390
But through Venezuela, Cuba was
04:50.710 --> 04:54.630
receiving assistance in free oil, supposedly, according to
04:54.790 --> 04:58.310
Little Marco. And once the coup from the United States
04:58.550 --> 05:02.790
happened and Maduro was taken out in Venezuela, then that was one way to prevent
05:03.190 --> 05:06.550
Cuba from receiving any more oil. Then Donald
05:06.630 --> 05:09.910
Trump threatened Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico.
05:11.090 --> 05:14.690
Order to coerce her to stop supporting them as well. So then
05:14.850 --> 05:18.450
what we've been having is the rhetoric from Marco Rubio and the
05:18.530 --> 05:22.450
State Department is continually heating up and that Cuba is more
05:22.770 --> 05:26.130
and more on the radar. But we also now have
05:26.690 --> 05:30.050
grid collapse that has been happening on
05:30.130 --> 05:33.490
and off. But definitely they had what was considered like a
05:33.570 --> 05:37.650
full grid collapse in maybe around July 6th,
05:37.730 --> 05:39.970
like that first full week of July.
05:40.840 --> 05:44.040
And we know that it's been incredibly hot,
05:44.600 --> 05:48.200
that people, you know, are struggling with air conditioning, keeping their food
05:48.360 --> 05:52.360
from spoiling, just basic things. And the United
05:52.520 --> 05:55.800
States is absolutely putting the squeeze on Cuba in order to
05:56.840 --> 06:00.440
supposedly bring about regime change. We know that the leader is
06:00.760 --> 06:04.680
now Raul Castro, which is Fidel's
06:05.080 --> 06:08.120
brother. And he's aboutâ well, actually, I think someone else,
06:08.520 --> 06:11.820
he may be the figurehead and maybe You guys can let me know on that.
06:11.980 --> 06:16.060
But he is in his upper, I think like 94,
06:16.220 --> 06:19.580
95 years old. They just issued an indictment for him for a
06:19.820 --> 06:23.100
30-year-old crime when
06:23.660 --> 06:27.100
a plane was shot down over Cuban airspace. So all these kind
06:27.600 --> 06:31.260
of factors are coming together. And then this last week,
06:31.900 --> 06:35.100
the State Department issued a 100-page
06:35.820 --> 06:39.410
report. And if I may just read the The first paragraph
06:39.890 --> 06:43.090
of that is really incredible, especially in light of what we
06:43.170 --> 06:47.250
know about the Israeli lobby and the Israeli influence
06:47.410 --> 06:51.170
in the United States. It's actually, it's unbelievable that they're saying
06:51.330 --> 06:55.090
this. But it starts out by saying, for nearly 7 decades, the Cuban
06:55.410 --> 06:59.250
regime has waged a sustained campaign of subversion against
06:59.330 --> 07:02.770
the United States. It is a campaign that has infiltrated the
07:02.850 --> 07:06.930
highest reaches of the U.S. government, recruited and cultivated generations
07:07.330 --> 07:11.550
of American activists, backed an unprecedented a wave of left-wing
07:11.790 --> 07:15.710
terrorism on American soil and carried out one of the most durable and
07:15.870 --> 07:19.870
damaging foreign intelligence penetrations in American history.
07:21.070 --> 07:24.990
So that's really galling. And then the other thing that I find interesting
07:25.950 --> 07:29.630
is that the United States has said that they are sending $100 million
07:30.510 --> 07:33.630
in aid to Cuba, and that is starting
07:34.270 --> 07:38.110
in incremental shipments. So this past week, around the same time
07:38.190 --> 07:42.370
that this document was issued by the State Department, the first deliveries of
07:42.770 --> 07:46.370
those supplies were delivered to Cuba.
07:47.330 --> 07:49.730
And then what they're saying is that they are,
07:50.530 --> 07:53.890
um, the supplies and care packages and things like that are
07:53.970 --> 07:57.330
being delivered by a Catholic organization and also
07:57.650 --> 08:01.090
some of the other religious organizations within the country to try
08:01.170 --> 08:05.010
to make sure that people actually get it and there isn't government interference. Now,
08:05.890 --> 08:09.090
what's actually going on with that, I have no idea, and I wanted to
08:09.590 --> 08:13.120
get you know, both of your thoughts on this and, and maybe a little of
08:13.200 --> 08:16.320
the background from Cuba as well. Obviously, we had the,
08:16.560 --> 08:20.160
um, Cuban Missile Crisis, and then we had
08:20.480 --> 08:24.400
Barack Obama who began sort of those diplomatic relations
08:24.720 --> 08:28.480
with Cuba, and the people were able to actually
08:28.720 --> 08:32.400
go visit, and, uh, they had a tourism industry
08:32.640 --> 08:36.000
at that time. And now all of that has kind of dried up again as
08:36.419 --> 08:38.819
the, the people of Cuba are really suffering.
08:39.939 --> 08:43.859
Don Jeffries, what's up, sir? Yeah, certainly. Well, this isâ it's
08:44.359 --> 08:47.619
really shocking to me that of all of Trump's incredibly stupid foreign policy,
08:48.019 --> 08:51.219
uh, rhetoric that he, that he's again just coming
08:51.379 --> 08:55.139
up with, thisâ the idea of even talking about Cuba flies in
08:55.219 --> 08:57.939
the face of everything he ran for in 2016 especially.
08:58.659 --> 09:02.099
This is the antithesis of bringing the troops home and no more
09:02.259 --> 09:05.539
senseless wars. It justâ he's looking everywhere for something to do.
09:05.699 --> 09:08.720
Cuba, he's, he's resurrecting something that,
09:08.800 --> 09:12.400
you know, I'm very familiar with having researched the JFK assassination for so long.
09:12.900 --> 09:16.000
And so many people, uh, have been fooled by what I
09:16.500 --> 09:19.840
think isâ my book Pipe the Bimbo in Red, I think we showed that that
09:19.920 --> 09:23.280
was a, uh, you know, a false lead, that Cuba had nothing to do with
09:23.780 --> 09:28.640
the JFK assassination. But they manipulated a whole bunch of anti-Castro Cubans around Oswald,
09:28.800 --> 09:32.080
and they maneuvered him into becoming the patsy. But it had
09:32.240 --> 09:36.000
nothing to do with Cuba. Nothing happened after the JFK assassination
09:36.520 --> 09:40.120
There was no second Bay of Pigs. Cuba died as a campaign issue.
09:40.620 --> 09:43.320
LBJ never tried to do anything. All the people in the CIA that wanted Castro
09:43.400 --> 09:47.080
gone never attempted to kill him again. Nixon never attempted to
09:47.580 --> 09:50.920
do it. Reagan neverâ nothing. And Castro outlived all of them. Now his brother's still
09:51.080 --> 09:54.440
alive. Itâ I don't know what they're talking about. And that the,
09:54.600 --> 09:58.360
the nonsense that this is, you know, 5, 6, whatever they claim, 50 years ofâ
09:59.000 --> 10:02.440
what do they give? An example. That, that's, that's dumber than saying Iran
10:02.520 --> 10:06.260
has killed so many Americans. What are you talking about? What isâ
10:06.760 --> 10:10.100
I mean, I guess you could go back to the '60s and into the '70s
10:10.180 --> 10:14.020
when they had all these hijackings, which, you know, I wasn't old enough
10:14.100 --> 10:16.980
to question it then, but I probably would have questioned if they're even real or
10:17.060 --> 10:20.820
they're fake. I don't know. But usually they attributed them to Cuba at that
10:20.980 --> 10:24.260
time. Let's hijack a plane and take it to Cuba. That's what we were told
10:24.500 --> 10:27.700
then. But that's the only thing I can think of where they did anything.
10:27.940 --> 10:31.460
And there was an embargo. Again, one of theâ again, I'm certainly never
10:31.540 --> 10:34.260
going to become a fan of Barack Obama, but, you know, he, he did a
10:34.340 --> 10:37.850
few good things and he was starting to, uh, He did. I think he's
10:38.350 --> 10:41.210
the one that eventually lifted the embargo on Cuba, which we had for a long
10:41.450 --> 10:45.370
time. So, um, and of course JFK,
10:45.850 --> 10:47.610
despiteâ was, was starting to, uh,
10:49.210 --> 10:52.410
rapprochement with Cuba. He had gone through a, a woman who
10:52.910 --> 10:55.450
was a reporter who later ended up dying mysteriously, like so many of these people.
10:55.610 --> 10:58.810
He was using her as a conduit. I forget her name. But, um,
11:00.570 --> 11:03.610
this is shocking to me thatâ thatâ what are you talking about?
11:03.850 --> 11:06.170
He's going to be the finally one thatâ I guess maybe he's going to try
11:06.250 --> 11:09.190
to get it done while there's a Castro still alive. I don't know. Caster Avenue
11:09.430 --> 11:12.470
Sons maybe can do something like this. This is so stupid.
11:12.790 --> 11:16.230
And if you look at the MAGA people, it's the Charlie Kirk
11:16.470 --> 11:20.630
thing or any of these other things, they are soâ the
11:20.710 --> 11:24.230
ones that are left, I mean, I, I saw a poll that 80â Trump has
11:24.310 --> 11:28.070
a higher rating among Republicans now of any president, I guess,
11:28.150 --> 11:31.990
at this point in their term, which is just amazing to me. But again,
11:32.490 --> 11:35.810
it's among Republicans. So how many people have have stopped calling
11:36.130 --> 11:39.810
themselves Republicans, I'm guessing, because it wasâ it's hard to believe thatâ it
11:39.890 --> 11:43.090
certainly can't be that he has 80-some percent, uh, approval rating
11:43.330 --> 11:47.250
of the 70 million or whatever voted for him in the last election.
11:47.410 --> 11:50.290
So, but what are they approving? And now that you're throwing this into it,
11:50.790 --> 11:54.050
you already had the Venezuela stuff, you had the disastrous war in Iran,
11:54.850 --> 11:57.490
the Zionism which has taken over the administration,
11:58.450 --> 12:02.210
where we, we're little Israel. Israel isn't little. We're little Israel at this point
12:02.290 --> 12:05.930
because they're, they're running things. And now Cuba?
12:06.330 --> 12:09.610
You're bringing back a campaign issue. What was the other issue in
12:10.010 --> 12:13.930
1960? Was Camoy and Matsui, who I'm sure there's not one American
12:14.490 --> 12:17.290
in 100 million that knows what the hell that's about, but that was an issue
12:17.450 --> 12:21.210
in 1960. Maybe Trump will bring that back too. I mean,
12:21.370 --> 12:24.730
because I mean, I, you know, what are you talking about? He will do it
12:24.810 --> 12:28.890
at this point. He's doing everything to distract
12:29.130 --> 12:32.010
people from how badly America is collapsing.
12:32.970 --> 12:36.730
Everything. So just keep pointing over there, over there, over there, and, and trying to
12:36.810 --> 12:40.650
get these stupid people that still support him to applaud, you know,
12:40.810 --> 12:44.090
repainting the reflecting pool or putting up another coat of
12:44.250 --> 12:48.010
gold in the White House or, or, you know, building this stupid ballroom.
12:48.090 --> 12:52.170
That's his entire administration now, is that? Because he literally hasn't done anything
12:52.650 --> 12:56.010
he promised to do. So I must have missed the thing about, uh, you know,
12:56.170 --> 13:00.150
going back into Cuba. I don't remember him talking about that at all, but This
13:00.310 --> 13:04.310
is just another disaster. It makes no sense. It hasâ and what Ashley read coming
13:04.470 --> 13:08.230
from the State Department, it's soâ it might as well come out
13:08.730 --> 13:12.870
of the Ministry of Truth in Oceania under Orwell. It has absolutely nothing.
13:13.030 --> 13:16.710
It's so notâ it's, it's exact opposite of what
13:17.210 --> 13:20.870
the historical truth is. You know, we screwed with Cuba for too long,
13:20.950 --> 13:25.590
and, uh, you know, Cuba didn't do anything to us except some probable faked hijackings.
13:25.670 --> 13:29.490
That would be it. There were individual Cubans, but, uh, Just another disaster.
13:29.990 --> 13:32.730
I don't know how anybody can support it. Um,
13:33.410 --> 13:38.370
what, what Ashley read just reeks of Stephen Miller to me.
13:38.870 --> 13:42.610
It, it justâ it's like it has Stephen Miller's DNA all over
13:42.770 --> 13:46.690
it. Yeah, you know, um, just, uh, especially the left-wing
13:48.050 --> 13:51.650
terrorist aspect of it. Cat, cat sighting, cat sighting,
13:51.890 --> 13:55.480
ladies and gentlemen, there is a cat. I see a cat,
13:55.720 --> 13:59.960
just letting you guys know, okay? Our ratings just went up.
14:00.520 --> 14:04.200
There's a cat on screen right now. Yeah,
14:04.700 --> 14:07.000
but Stephen Miller, and thank the Lord, 'cause I was talking about Stephen Miller,
14:07.500 --> 14:11.400
which absolutely sucks, and cats don't. So that kind of shifts the scales.
14:11.480 --> 14:14.680
But regardless, it sounds a lot like something that Stephen
14:14.920 --> 14:18.240
Miller would do. And here's my deal with the Trump administration.
14:20.530 --> 14:23.970
I'm sure this wasâ Marco Rubio has had a hard-on for
14:24.050 --> 14:27.890
this for forever and ever and ever and ever. So now that he's in and
14:28.050 --> 14:31.650
he has some type of power, he's in Trump's ear, probably with his
14:31.810 --> 14:35.570
tongue very deep in it, you know. Um, he's,
14:36.070 --> 14:39.410
uh, making his case, uh, to, to, to, to have
14:40.450 --> 14:43.890
probable regime change, even though I don't think they've been successful at any of this
14:43.970 --> 14:47.590
that they've tried to do. They, they probably told Trump that it was going to
14:47.670 --> 14:50.790
be a Venezuela-like, um,
14:51.990 --> 14:55.510
scenario where they're in and out, you know, they topple it and, and go out
14:55.590 --> 14:58.870
of there. Well, they'reâ they cut off, uh, the oil supply,
14:59.670 --> 15:03.430
uh, from Venezuela, and then they threaten everybody else with tariffs
15:04.070 --> 15:07.990
that, uh, want to give Cuba any, any oil in
15:08.070 --> 15:12.070
any way, right? Um, there are rolling blackouts in Cuba 20
15:12.310 --> 15:15.900
hours at a time. You know, it's freaking nuts what
15:15.980 --> 15:20.220
those people have had to endure my
15:20.380 --> 15:23.580
entire lifetime since I've been alive, you know.
15:23.740 --> 15:28.380
Um, but, uh, somebody is as usual manipulating
15:28.620 --> 15:31.900
Donald Trump here, uh, because Donald Trump doesn't have a clue.
15:31.980 --> 15:35.340
He, heâ the dude could, could barely stand
15:35.740 --> 15:39.180
sometimes. Like, there are some serious issues that we need to discuss about
15:39.260 --> 15:42.740
Donald Trump Everybody was shitting all over Joe Biden,
15:43.240 --> 15:46.340
and I'm not saying that wasn't justified, but use the same energy with this piece
15:46.500 --> 15:49.460
of crap and the way he looks right now and the way he's, he's acting
15:49.700 --> 15:53.700
and, and moving. But I think, uh, this is Marco Rubio.
15:54.200 --> 15:57.780
I think this is, uh, Stephen Miller. I think, I think it's the people
15:57.940 --> 16:01.780
of that ilk that are manipulating Donald Trump into thinking that this
16:01.860 --> 16:05.620
is a good idea. And since the guy is a blithering idiot, he thinks
16:06.120 --> 16:08.770
it's a good idea. This is why we're in the mess that we're in in
16:08.930 --> 16:12.290
Iran, because this doofus doesn't know any better,
16:12.450 --> 16:16.370
and neither does Pete Hegseth for that matter. Um, but Rubio and
16:16.530 --> 16:20.130
Miller are different, you know. Um, they, they, they know some things,
16:21.410 --> 16:24.690
and, and they're playing this game, and they're, they're manipulating to get what it
16:24.770 --> 16:28.290
is they want. I feel very sorry for the people of Cuba,
16:28.370 --> 16:31.970
and I think Ashley's absolutely right. They're gonna go in there.
16:32.130 --> 16:35.520
It's only a matter of time. It's onâ they haveâ
16:36.020 --> 16:40.000
we have 2 more years plus of this left. They're gonna
16:40.160 --> 16:44.320
have to continue to cover up, up for his, uh, his mentions
16:44.480 --> 16:48.000
in the, in the Epstein files in some, some fashion,
16:48.240 --> 16:51.920
right? Things are gonna die down at some point and Epstein will inevitably
16:52.320 --> 16:55.760
resurface. So they're gonna go invade another country. They're thinking about
16:56.000 --> 16:59.600
invading Mali, uh, reports have, have said that
17:00.100 --> 17:03.930
they're doing that. Like, what the hell is that about? Um, the president of
17:04.090 --> 17:07.770
peace is responsible for creating war
17:09.210 --> 17:12.490
on different continents at this point, you know.
17:12.730 --> 17:16.410
So it's, it's, it's a very scary situation. Uh, I feel sorry
17:16.570 --> 17:20.090
for my Cuban brothers and sisters. Uh, please endure. Tryâ I mean,
17:20.590 --> 17:24.090
you guys know that you guys have no other choice, you know. Um, but it
17:24.590 --> 17:28.170
doesn't look good. I'm not, I'm not optimistic about the, the outcome
17:28.250 --> 17:32.010
here. I think the United States is going to move in there in some
17:32.330 --> 17:36.170
capacity, and what they're doing now is bad enough. Ashley, I'm gonna turn
17:36.670 --> 17:40.010
it back to you. Yeah, well, I just wanted to say too that it's
17:40.510 --> 17:44.090
really interesting, this kind of idea that the United States is
17:44.250 --> 17:47.610
being stretched too thin, because that's one of the things is
17:47.690 --> 17:51.130
that they, um, you know, we have been getting this rhetoric,
17:51.850 --> 17:55.850
this messaging throughout the Iran conflict that
17:56.090 --> 17:59.350
the United States is running out of missiles. You know,
17:59.750 --> 18:03.590
never in my entire life have I ever heard that kind
18:03.670 --> 18:07.110
of information or that kind of those talking points that
18:07.190 --> 18:11.270
we're almost out of missiles. And then we
18:11.350 --> 18:14.870
have this boiling pot basically that this on-again,
18:15.030 --> 18:18.870
off-again conflict with Iran and it seems to
18:18.950 --> 18:21.590
be continuing to escalate. And then we have the,
18:22.550 --> 18:25.590
you know, the Saudi-Yemen conflict that's kind of escalating.
18:25.830 --> 18:29.750
And then we have the Russia-Ukraine that's escalating. All these events slow
18:29.910 --> 18:34.850
boiling, but there's a a lot going on here. And I feel like it
18:34.930 --> 18:38.290
is in Cuba a little more off the radar. And I
18:38.370 --> 18:41.810
think that you're right that Marco Rubio is intimately involved in this. Obviously,
18:42.130 --> 18:45.410
his Cuban heritage, but he also has a lot of other
18:45.970 --> 18:49.410
connections. His brother-in-law was a drug trafficker that
18:49.490 --> 18:52.610
he worked for as a 16-year-old kid. Maybe he
18:52.690 --> 18:55.970
had nothing to do with that. Maybe there was truly nothing on that
18:56.050 --> 18:59.410
part. But I find it interesting, particularly with his other
18:59.810 --> 19:03.710
connections in Latin America and the work that he's been doing there. The other
19:04.030 --> 19:07.390
factor that I find interesting, and I'm not saying that I have any answer or
19:07.550 --> 19:11.550
what this would mean, but the Cuban Americans. So I believe
19:11.790 --> 19:14.990
there's about, there was like a million Cubans that were
19:15.070 --> 19:18.670
able to come here. And for the most part, my understanding
19:18.910 --> 19:22.270
is that they were very successful. And a
19:22.350 --> 19:25.390
lot of that contingency was in South Florida.
19:26.190 --> 19:29.870
And South Florida was very important in the Trump administration.
19:30.110 --> 19:34.080
And it seems like a lot of these people who are this
19:34.320 --> 19:38.160
very anti-communist ideology from Cuba, that they,
19:38.480 --> 19:41.760
that they support this rhetoric. I don't know. Um, I find it very
19:41.840 --> 19:44.240
weird because the people there are suffering. And,
19:45.280 --> 19:48.960
and I think that theyâ I don't know, are they saying it's worth making
19:49.200 --> 19:53.280
it worse because of communism? It's, it's not our business.
19:54.080 --> 19:57.280
You know, if the people of Cuba want change, then they can facilitate that without
19:57.520 --> 20:01.360
the help of the United States. Um, and certainly without the United States making it
20:01.440 --> 20:05.100
worse. But I'm worried that they're trying to make it worse simply so
20:05.340 --> 20:08.860
people will, you know, will lose it and riot and
20:09.020 --> 20:12.380
whatever because they're starving and they have no energy and they can't get healthcare,
20:13.260 --> 20:16.780
uh, because if someone needs to go to the hospital, the hospital may not
20:17.280 --> 20:20.060
have electricity. Like, all these things, I, Iâ it's anâ it's a mess.
20:21.020 --> 20:24.060
Well, those people are strong and resourceful. They've been going through it
20:24.140 --> 20:27.660
for some time. I think, uh, while Trump is,
20:27.900 --> 20:30.700
is probably going to move in there in some capacity, and that's not good,
20:30.860 --> 20:33.950
he's going to run into another Iran problem. Um,
20:34.510 --> 20:38.110
uh, the, the people of, of Cuba are very strong, very strong people
20:38.270 --> 20:41.470
and very resourceful because they've had to be. Uh, they've had
20:41.550 --> 20:45.310
no other choice but to be that, you know. Um, sucks. It sucks
20:45.810 --> 20:48.830
to see this. Iâ we could have avoided this, but here we are.
20:49.330 --> 20:52.830
So now we, we have to deal with this plus whatever else comes on top
20:52.990 --> 20:56.910
of that. Uh, what time do we have here? All right, it is 22
20:56.990 --> 21:00.740
or 27. It'sâ we're at the midpoint already. Don Jeffries, I'm turning
21:00.900 --> 21:04.340
it over to you. Um, you wanted to discuss, uh,
21:04.420 --> 21:07.700
the NDAA, so go right ahead, sir. Get into it.
21:08.200 --> 21:11.300
Yeah, well, our Congressâ I mean, again, this isâ and again, you look at what's
21:11.800 --> 21:14.020
left of the MAGA movement, and again, I, I argue with them on X,
21:14.180 --> 21:17.700
and it's, it's just astonishing to me. They, they just have the capacity
21:18.100 --> 21:21.780
to just reâ you know, rethink everything every day, whatever Trump says,
21:22.280 --> 21:25.470
and that's, that's their new reality, the ones that are staying around. But, uh,
21:25.630 --> 21:28.350
they're insisting that nothing has changed, that,
21:28.510 --> 21:32.030
uh, we, we're not officially aligned with Israel now.
21:32.110 --> 21:35.390
Well, all I know is that's the way it reads, that we are, you know,
21:35.470 --> 21:39.950
we're like one military, our military and Israel. I mean, that'sâ if
21:40.590 --> 21:44.270
that ends national sovereignty, we thought national sovereignty was ending when we left the southern
21:44.510 --> 21:47.870
border open for 4 decades or whatever, uh, that, you know, we didn't have a
21:47.950 --> 21:51.390
border, you know, that, that was a pretty strong indication we weren't
21:51.890 --> 21:55.540
a sovereign nation. But when you, you've been Israel's lapdog for
21:56.040 --> 21:59.140
as long as we have, and then you make it official, and that's what they'veâ
21:59.640 --> 22:02.340
couple them, so it just makes it official, like that's, that's a good thing.
22:03.140 --> 22:07.380
And what's really shameful is that we'reâ there's nowhere to go politically
22:07.860 --> 22:11.540
because, you know, I said, as, as crazy as my old party, the Democrats,
22:11.700 --> 22:14.980
are, almost all of them voted, you know, against doing this,
22:15.780 --> 22:18.900
which is shocking to me. But, you know, that, that they're the voice. But when
22:19.400 --> 22:23.220
you, you have to depend on those most of them are clinically insane,
22:23.700 --> 22:27.380
crazy woke people. They're the voice of reason because the Republicans are
22:27.620 --> 22:31.140
absolutely sold out. Massie, I think, was the only one that,
22:31.300 --> 22:34.980
uh, that voted against it. Of course, they got rid of him. So this is
22:35.060 --> 22:38.820
a disgrace because what has happened is that they already divided
22:39.060 --> 22:42.340
the country with, with Trump, the Trumpenstein Project. When they came in,
22:42.500 --> 22:45.860
they killed off that third-party movement. They thought they did. I don't
22:46.360 --> 22:49.090
know what's going to happen with Tucker Carlson. And you know You know I'm going
22:49.590 --> 22:51.730
to be sucked in again, Billy Ray, when they do. Tucker Carlson is going to
22:51.890 --> 22:55.250
smile at me and talk really sincerely, and I'm going to be right back
22:55.410 --> 22:58.690
in there. I may even vote again, who knows. But he's going
22:59.190 --> 23:01.730
to say all the right things and he's going to suck people in. And,
23:01.890 --> 23:05.330
uh, so that's probably going to happen. But because Democrats and Republicans are
23:05.410 --> 23:09.010
hopeless now, and so on one hand, that's,
23:09.170 --> 23:12.770
you know, this is maybe good that Trump's turning to
23:12.850 --> 23:16.850
this dark side, is killing off that independent part of
23:17.010 --> 23:20.610
MAGA. And what's left are the people that can somehow, you know,
23:21.250 --> 23:24.610
support Little Marco or whatever he is, who doesn't look that little to
23:24.690 --> 23:27.250
me. He stands next to Trump and he seems almost as tall as him.
23:27.330 --> 23:30.130
So I don't, I don't know, you know, where they got the Little Marco from.
23:30.290 --> 23:33.890
But, uh, regardless, he's, he's terrible, Marco,
23:34.210 --> 23:37.570
because he would just be awful. I've seen the things about his past. Somebody said
23:38.070 --> 23:41.490
he ran aâ in a chat that he ran a, a, a drug drop
23:41.570 --> 23:44.610
or a drug house or something as an adolescent in Miami. I don't know.
23:45.110 --> 23:48.280
I know he's got lots of connections, but he's He's a globalist. He's everything that
23:48.440 --> 23:52.120
Trump ran against. Trump ridiculed him. So of course he's his right-hand
23:52.360 --> 23:55.240
man now. That just soundsâ and J.D. Vance, again,
23:55.960 --> 23:59.160
Peter Thiel and all, but he sounds like the best thing in theâ you know,
23:59.660 --> 24:02.760
he, he looks like he's not with the program. Every time he does an interview,
24:03.260 --> 24:06.760
he says things he's not supposed to say. He clearly doesn'tâ positioning himself,
24:07.000 --> 24:10.200
Don. Well, yeah, he is. Well, he is. I think he is.
24:10.440 --> 24:13.640
But again, I, I'm not sure what happened there. And so Trump probablyâ I'm surprised
24:13.880 --> 24:16.720
Trump doesn't fire him and find some way to do that. Uh,
24:17.440 --> 24:21.040
it's, it's a disaster politically, and the void is being set there for a
24:21.120 --> 24:24.320
third party. And Zionism is going to be the new breakdown.
24:24.400 --> 24:28.000
The left-right paradigm, good thing it's dead,
24:28.640 --> 24:32.160
because you look at, again, you look at the, you know, people like Ro Khanna
24:32.240 --> 24:35.520
or whatever, people like that in, in Congress who I would oppose on a lot
24:35.600 --> 24:39.360
of things, but he's really great on the Israeli issue and the foreign policy
24:39.520 --> 24:42.890
issue. And a lot of the Democrats are like that. The Crazy Squad,
24:43.050 --> 24:46.170
who, you know, I think they hate all white people. They'd probably hate me,
24:46.330 --> 24:49.690
but I would certainly align with him on Israel and a lot of these other
24:49.930 --> 24:53.930
things. And so we may have to make strange alliances now, but it'sâ
24:54.970 --> 24:58.730
this, this is justâ imagine what George Washington or John Quincy Adams, who said
24:58.890 --> 25:02.490
America doesn't go abroad in search of monsters to destroy,
25:02.570 --> 25:06.570
but what would they think of, of, you know, we're aligningâ we've
25:07.070 --> 25:10.440
not only created this little country in another part of the world that
25:10.600 --> 25:13.480
they claim is theirs, they're entitled to by God.
25:14.200 --> 25:17.480
Imagine any other religion trying to do that. What would we portray them as?
25:17.980 --> 25:21.320
All these religious kooks, they're like the Branch Davidians, we have to go kill them,
25:21.400 --> 25:24.680
they're insane, they think their God has told them this land belongs to them.
25:24.760 --> 25:29.000
But no, here, oh, everybody, yeah, well, you know, they're the chosen people,
25:29.160 --> 25:32.360
God granted this land. And the Greater Israel Project says that they think
25:32.440 --> 25:35.640
there's a lot more land, because why do they keep bombing Lebanon?
25:36.520 --> 25:40.520
Lebanon's not Iran, but they just bomb whoever they want and just make up a
25:40.760 --> 25:44.360
terrorist group. Well, it's Hezbollah in Lebanon, it's Hamas over
25:44.520 --> 25:47.880
here, you know. Maybe it'll be the Muslim Brotherhood somewhere
25:48.120 --> 25:51.320
else, or, uh, you know, some new,
25:51.560 --> 25:54.840
uh, you know, Sharia law. It's insane.
25:55.640 --> 25:58.680
And so many people are fed up with it. It's not working.
25:58.920 --> 26:02.690
The Ben Shapires of the world, and when you read them online He literally called
26:02.850 --> 26:06.290
people goys the other day. He called Tucker Carlson, he said that's
26:06.790 --> 26:10.610
nothing but goy slop. So they're coming, they're, they're the monsters that far
26:10.850 --> 26:14.930
right-wing people used to talk about. They'reâ he's literally calling Lunaâ
26:15.250 --> 26:18.690
oh, did she? She did something
26:18.850 --> 26:21.330
that mattered for once. My girl did that? Oh,
26:21.650 --> 26:24.610
that's nice. She won me back a little bit. You know, I'm smitten with her.
26:24.850 --> 26:27.970
But sheâ but sheâ I thought she was in Israel's hip pocket. Oh, that's good
26:28.050 --> 26:31.690
toâ good to hear. Okay, good for her. She's great on the JFK assassination,
26:31.850 --> 26:34.250
all the other stuff. But, uh, I don't know if she's great on it,
26:34.330 --> 26:37.930
she just regurgitates surface. Well, she's paying attention to it at
26:38.430 --> 26:41.930
least, and she seems to be, which, which nobody else has done that but in
26:42.090 --> 26:44.730
Congress for a longâ I would have loved to have seen somebody like her in
26:44.810 --> 26:48.090
Congress in 1976 when we were lobbying with Mark Lane's group trying
26:48.170 --> 26:50.970
to get them to reopen it, because there weren't very many who were talking like
26:51.050 --> 26:54.170
her back then. So I would love to have seen that. But, um,
26:55.290 --> 26:58.330
so I, I don't know where it's going, but when you get to the point
26:58.490 --> 27:01.910
where this stuff. And I don't know why they're letting us
27:02.070 --> 27:06.030
talk about the Zionism and Jewish power and all that, but they are.
27:06.230 --> 27:09.750
Theyâ I see Don Lambert. But, um, and you
27:10.250 --> 27:13.270
know, a lot of people think they're only letting us do this for a reason.
27:13.770 --> 27:16.630
They're trying to get us out into the light so they can round us up
27:17.130 --> 27:19.830
in the FEMA camps. I don't know. But I know that when a Ben Shapiro
27:20.070 --> 27:23.670
type is callingâ and again, Tucker Carlson, most people think he's phony
27:23.750 --> 27:27.150
too, but he's playing the part of the other side. And he's being called Goy
27:27.310 --> 27:30.830
now, which is what, you know, again, this is, this is amazing to
27:30.910 --> 27:33.630
me that this stuffâ I don't know what it means or where it's going,
27:33.790 --> 27:36.510
but you can't put that genie back in the bottle when you got millions of
27:36.590 --> 27:39.710
people that understand that, you know,
27:40.190 --> 27:43.710
you have this whatever it is, this group that now
27:44.510 --> 27:48.670
controls us to an extent that our military is officially intertwined
27:48.830 --> 27:52.110
with ours. And I don't know what that means for budgetary reasons. We already give
27:52.190 --> 27:56.200
them whatever they want. So I'd like to see the details of that, but whatever
27:56.440 --> 27:59.720
it is, it can't be good. When you get to that point where you have,
27:59.960 --> 28:03.560
uh, the far-left people that are wrong about almost everything in my view
28:03.720 --> 28:06.840
now, but they're the only ones that we can turn to now in
28:07.340 --> 28:10.680
terms of Israel and stopping Zionism. Weâ it has
28:10.760 --> 28:14.440
toâ that'sâ it's not left-right anymore. It's not that conservative. I don't want
28:14.940 --> 28:18.280
to hear anything from conservatives anymore. What are you conserving?
28:18.780 --> 28:22.460
You want to conserve this Zionist power? Totally done. Yeah, I mean,
28:22.960 --> 28:27.020
it's changed. It's changed everything. So we haveâ it's Zionism versus anti-Zionism.
28:27.520 --> 28:30.620
That's what the breakdown is now. And I think you're saying somebody like Tucker,
28:30.700 --> 28:34.220
who never used to mention Zionism on his Fox show, maybe he couldn't.
28:34.860 --> 28:37.900
And but, but now that's on his mind all the time, and he's
28:38.400 --> 28:40.620
being called every name in the book. He's a Nazi,
28:41.020 --> 28:44.780
anti-Semite, he's Hitler Jr., all these kinds of things.
28:45.020 --> 28:48.730
So I don't know, but it's, it's It's never ceased to be interesting. And like
28:49.230 --> 28:51.690
I said, I'm a political junkie. I'm like a heroin addict. So I should just
28:51.850 --> 28:55.210
stop paying attention to it, but then I can't stop paying attention to sports either.
28:55.710 --> 28:58.170
So it's the same thing. I'm addicted to these things like a heroin addict,
28:58.250 --> 29:02.570
Joe. I think, I think we need to be very careful for,
29:02.890 --> 29:05.770
uh, for allâ I mean, I think a lot of the people that are tuned
29:06.270 --> 29:09.530
in right now will be tuned in after the fact. Even if we disagree
29:09.690 --> 29:12.730
wildly on a lot of things, I think we'll agree on this.
29:13.480 --> 29:13.560
Um,
29:16.520 --> 29:20.680
Peter Thiel is responsible for
29:20.840 --> 29:24.680
J.D. Vance. J.D. Vance has
29:26.760 --> 29:30.600
shifted, uh, his tone and his
29:30.760 --> 29:34.440
rhetoric to oppose a lot of the things that are going
29:34.680 --> 29:37.960
on now because they realize that this is over.
29:38.770 --> 29:42.450
We still have 2 and a half years to endure of a dead
29:42.850 --> 29:47.090
presidency. MAGA is dead for all intents and purposes.
29:47.250 --> 29:51.010
The cult still exists, but the, the, the big wave
29:51.410 --> 29:54.930
that we had at one point, that's gone. It's over.
29:55.250 --> 29:59.170
So JD Vance astutely,
29:59.890 --> 30:02.930
and probably, uh, along with Peter Thiel, is like, well,
30:03.010 --> 30:06.620
let's shift it. Let's get those people that are disillusioned and
30:06.700 --> 30:10.300
let's present you, let's present you as a
30:10.460 --> 30:14.300
viable alternative in 2028. And I
30:14.800 --> 30:18.540
don't think it's any coincidence that Tucker
30:18.700 --> 30:21.980
Carlson has also shifted and
30:22.220 --> 30:25.020
he is actively promoting J.D.
30:25.180 --> 30:28.940
Vance. He even went as far as to say that J.D. Vance should have been
30:29.020 --> 30:32.930
the president in 2024,
30:33.170 --> 30:36.610
you know. And I'm like, oh, I see where this is going. So, um,
30:38.530 --> 30:41.650
here we go with the push. And I was having a conversation with Twisted months
30:43.070 --> 30:46.930
ago, and when, uh, when these people, all of them started turning at once,
30:47.430 --> 30:51.170
you know, um, from different areas of the alt-right, from moderate alt-right to
30:51.330 --> 30:53.890
deep alt-right, they all started turning on Trump, right,
30:54.530 --> 30:57.620
together. Candace Owens, uh, um,
30:57.900 --> 31:01.340
Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, uh,
31:01.500 --> 31:05.580
Nick Fuentes, all of these people. And he
31:05.660 --> 31:09.340
said, he goes, uh, Tucker Carlson
31:09.420 --> 31:12.940
is probably going to start supporting J.D. Vance at some point. They're going to talk
31:13.020 --> 31:16.460
all of this nonsense, and then he's going to start supporting J.D. Vance. And that's
31:16.540 --> 31:19.740
exactly what they're doing. That's exactly the shift.
31:19.900 --> 31:23.740
We've got to start looking at the connections between Peter Thiel and Tucker
31:23.820 --> 31:27.340
Carlson. We, we really do
31:27.580 --> 31:31.020
at this point. And Iâ and, and thisâ I think ultimately all of this is
31:31.100 --> 31:35.180
going, is going to be unsuccessful. Uh, maybe that's
31:35.680 --> 31:38.940
me hoping. This is what I want to believe. I don't know. We'll find out,
31:39.340 --> 31:42.140
you know, in 2028 what happens.
31:42.300 --> 31:45.500
Um, but I feel like that's what's going
31:45.660 --> 31:48.790
on. It's very obvious to me. I don't trust J.D.
31:49.030 --> 31:52.390
Vance. I don't think I can ever come to trust the J.D. Vance. That doesn't
31:52.890 --> 31:55.350
mean I won't agree on some of the things that he's saying, but I don't
31:55.850 --> 31:59.430
trust him, right? I don't trust the motives as to why he's saying the things
31:59.510 --> 32:03.390
he's saying. And I don't think I'll ever trust Tucker Carlson.
32:03.670 --> 32:07.910
I just, I just can't, right? They've, they've changed. They're chameleons
32:08.150 --> 32:11.750
for, for all of this, for, for money, you know, for opportunity.
32:11.990 --> 32:15.370
They ride the wave that will get them the most clicks. That'll get
32:15.450 --> 32:18.970
them the most visibility, uh, that'll get them paid,
32:19.130 --> 32:23.370
you know. So I'm, I'm not, uh, I'm not subscribing
32:23.530 --> 32:27.610
to the whole JD Vance is saying the right thing.
32:27.770 --> 32:31.530
I think he'sâ I think it's very evident as to why he's doing it
32:31.770 --> 32:35.050
if you're paying attention. Ashley, what's up?
32:35.550 --> 32:38.250
Well, the other thought that I have is, yes, there's the JD Vance piece,
32:38.490 --> 32:41.850
and obviously the, the, oh, uh, RB Hamm said
32:42.010 --> 32:45.750
that JD Vance is the creature of the technocratic
32:45.910 --> 32:49.430
oligarchy. And, uh, yeah, I definitely agree with that.
32:49.670 --> 32:52.790
And that, that's the Peter Thiel, uh, spider web.
32:53.430 --> 32:57.750
But I am curious about how it may play out for these
32:57.990 --> 33:01.510
people from like a J.D. Vance perspective versus
33:01.910 --> 33:05.110
a Marco Rubio. Are we going to see them competing? Are we going
33:05.190 --> 33:09.030
to see them coming together? Because they're kind ofâ I
33:09.110 --> 33:12.300
mean, they're obviously in the same space, but they're bringing
33:12.540 --> 33:15.820
a different vibe. And as, as weird as this sounds,
33:16.700 --> 33:20.540
memes are important. And I don't know if you remember, at kind of
33:20.700 --> 33:24.380
like the beginning, there was this fire wave of
33:24.620 --> 33:28.220
JD Vance memes that wereâ well, they were very funny,
33:28.720 --> 33:31.260
but they were very ridiculous as well. And, um,
33:32.060 --> 33:35.500
then so that was kind of the JD Vance meme that was out there of
33:35.580 --> 33:39.660
him being like this really puffy face and like, uh, super big curly
33:39.740 --> 33:42.860
hair. And then there's a Marco Rubio meme
33:42.940 --> 33:45.900
out there and it's him sitting on a couch looking, I don't know, kind of
33:46.060 --> 33:49.740
annoyed. And then they just dress him as whatever. So he was dressed as like
33:49.900 --> 33:54.300
a FIFA ref for the World Cup and whatever
33:54.540 --> 33:57.100
else is going on, many different things. So I'm curious, like,
33:58.060 --> 34:02.460
does the meme matter here? What is this telling us about theâ
34:03.500 --> 34:06.780
how these two are going to be positioned when we're moving into the
34:06.940 --> 34:10.439
next election cycle? And then the other thought that I have is
34:10.839 --> 34:14.679
I don't see how they would have a
34:14.919 --> 34:18.839
chance after this administration based on gas prices
34:19.239 --> 34:22.999
alone. I think that while there is a contingency
34:23.079 --> 34:26.839
that is still very supportive of Trump for whatever reason, I think the regular
34:27.639 --> 34:30.839
everyday person is getting fed up. They're definitely fed up
34:30.999 --> 34:34.519
with having to pay more at the pump, more on groceries, all of
34:34.599 --> 34:37.900
these types of things. And I think they're sick of this.
34:38.380 --> 34:41.660
So I do think that there's this possibility for a
34:41.740 --> 34:45.100
blue wave. And, you know, I'm not someone who subscribes
34:45.420 --> 34:48.620
to sides in politics. I would love to see corruption
34:49.100 --> 34:52.940
ended. At the very least, if we keep
34:53.020 --> 34:55.980
this system, like, end the corruption. I don't know how we do that, but I'm
34:56.480 --> 34:59.900
just saying, like, so I'm not a sides person. I'm just saying I don't
34:59.980 --> 35:03.900
see how the Republicans could come out of this, especially with
35:03.980 --> 35:07.710
what Don is talking about, with the fact that Israel is super
35:08.270 --> 35:12.030
unbelievably unpopular right now. And people
35:12.270 --> 35:15.630
see that. They're sick of this stuff. So I don't know how,
35:15.790 --> 35:19.230
of course, how this is all going to play out, but I'm very interested to
35:19.310 --> 35:22.430
see. And what does this even mean for the Republican Party going forward?
35:24.590 --> 35:27.950
Yeah, I want to say, and thanks for sharing that, Billy, from my good
35:28.110 --> 35:31.230
friend Arby Hamm. I'm going to try to make it to 10 o'clock tonight,
35:31.790 --> 35:34.350
but I don't know if I'll be back from Dylan's concert. Apparently he plays such
35:34.430 --> 35:37.550
a short concert, I may be back. Traffic isn't too bad. So I'll try to
35:38.050 --> 35:41.380
make it back for Beyond the Pale at, uh, RB Ham's
35:41.880 --> 35:44.740
great, uh, show tonight. Listen to it on his Rumble channel. I'll watch it.
35:44.820 --> 35:47.780
But, um, I'm sorry, go ahead, buddy. You'll know. Yeah, the AI data centers.
35:47.940 --> 35:50.900
Yeah, so he mentioned that, and that'sâ I, I want that again. As if Trump
35:51.060 --> 35:54.500
needed to do anything else to apparently attempt to
35:54.900 --> 35:58.260
imitate the Antichrist. Again, he goes, he comes out and said we need toâ they're
35:58.340 --> 36:01.700
inevitable, we haveâ people need to accept it. I mean, this guy, it's like he's
36:02.200 --> 36:05.380
taking every issue and say, okay, I'm going against the people on everything.
36:06.290 --> 36:09.730
He's, he's one way now, and he's not stuck. You know, before he was all
36:09.890 --> 36:13.090
over the place, and he'd always flip-flop back and throw people red meat. No,
36:13.890 --> 36:17.170
no more of that. He's going straight up Satanism. He's going
36:17.250 --> 36:21.170
to the dark side over. It's just amazing to me. Is itâ
36:21.670 --> 36:24.130
somebody mentioned there, why do we need data centers? I've said, in our state of
36:24.290 --> 36:27.650
Virginia, they builtâ they're supposedly building 60-some data centers. I worked in
36:27.730 --> 36:31.810
a data center for many data centers for many years. This makes no
36:31.970 --> 36:35.890
sense. These are not data centers that we've ever heard of. We don'tâ somebody
36:36.130 --> 36:39.970
should be questioning. They should have hearings on it. But again, everybody in
36:40.130 --> 36:43.810
Congress pretty much just, just voted to, to meld our
36:43.970 --> 36:47.170
military with Israel. So what are you going to count on them? But this
36:47.250 --> 36:50.850
isâ we're, we're in a disastrous situation. I'm trying not to be blackpilled.
36:51.350 --> 36:54.690
I need to watch some Frank Capra films, man. He said
36:55.330 --> 36:59.170
data centers in space. That's what he said.
36:59.330 --> 37:02.540
And you know what? Trump is,
37:02.860 --> 37:06.780
is wrong about a lot of things. He's not too far off
37:07.020 --> 37:10.780
about the inevitability of these things. I've been given some hope lately because
37:11.020 --> 37:14.300
people have been pushing back and hadâ they've been stopping some of these data centers,
37:14.380 --> 37:18.060
and that's dope, you know, because I really didn't have much hope.
37:18.120 --> 37:21.100
But it's not like he'sâ it's not like Trump is too far off on this.
37:21.260 --> 37:25.340
Um, this is going to be a big struggle for humanity,
37:25.500 --> 37:28.630
you know, so Let's keep that in mind. Also, uh,
37:28.950 --> 37:32.630
Kenny Powers of the, the Babylonian Mystery School, like next level,
37:33.590 --> 37:37.030
uh, you know, wise man, it says, uh, what if
37:37.110 --> 37:40.950
Gavin Newsom is replaced by Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani is
37:41.110 --> 37:44.550
the VP? Uh, that would be a popular one, no doubt.
37:45.050 --> 37:47.590
You see what he did there? Who's Gavin Rossdale? I don't know who that is.
37:48.070 --> 37:51.590
Bush, the band Bush. You remember that? He's the lead singer of Bush,
37:51.990 --> 37:55.260
Don They rocked hard, man. I've seen them perform. Like,
37:55.420 --> 37:59.340
I saw them at Woodstock. It's Woodstock '99. I saw Bush. Bush wasâ it's
37:59.840 --> 38:03.340
a fantasticâ uh, but Gwen Stefani's MAGA. I don't know how that would work,
38:03.500 --> 38:07.020
you know, nowadays. So Gwen Stefaniâ and they'reâ these guys are divorced. She's married
38:07.180 --> 38:10.780
to Blake Shelton. Yes. Kenny, what are we doing? Oh, do Iâ can
38:10.860 --> 38:13.820
I get you an issue of People or what? But heâ you know what he
38:13.900 --> 38:16.620
did there was, was dope though. That'sâ I think, I think he, he,
38:17.100 --> 38:21.170
he was going for, you knowâ yeah. For that whole thing more than anything else.
38:21.670 --> 38:23.050
But anyway, um,
38:25.410 --> 38:28.610
so we don'tâ we don't trust Tucker Carlson. Well, Don might if he winks at
38:29.230 --> 38:32.850
him, admittedly. But, uh, sweet talk me, I'm easily sucked
38:33.350 --> 38:35.890
in. Other than that, we don't trust Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker,
38:36.050 --> 38:39.010
RFK Jr. They allâ they all have me if they sweet talk me. That's all
38:39.510 --> 38:43.490
they got to do. Anna Paulina Luna, uh, oh, she did
38:43.570 --> 38:47.050
not say much at all, let me tell you. She's a very beautiful woman.
38:48.720 --> 38:52.320
He doesn't need to do much. Um, let's talk real quick, uh,
38:52.720 --> 38:56.480
aboutâ I think, I don't know if it was RB Ham or Kenny or
38:56.640 --> 39:00.080
someone else, I forget who it was. Um, you know who you were,
39:00.580 --> 39:04.240
but they were talking about, uh, Mom Donnie threatening to arrest
39:05.200 --> 39:08.560
Benjamin Netanyahu if he came to New York. So that's not
39:09.060 --> 39:12.240
gonna happen. It's against, it's against the laws here in New York to
39:12.740 --> 39:15.120
be able to pull something like that. It has to be the federal government.
39:15.570 --> 39:19.250
That does it. So Mom Donnie turned around and called
39:19.410 --> 39:22.430
on the federal government to do it, and you know they're not going to do
39:22.930 --> 39:25.730
that, right? Uh, they're not going to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu at all. But he did
39:25.970 --> 39:30.210
say Benjamin Netanyahu is not welcomed here in New York.
39:30.710 --> 39:34.530
Um, tons of protests when that guy comes here, tons of
39:34.610 --> 39:37.730
protests. That, contrary to popular belief in
39:37.890 --> 39:41.890
alt-right circles and conspiracy circles, Mom Donnie is very well
39:41.970 --> 39:45.310
liked here in New People really like him.
39:45.470 --> 39:48.270
Uh, they're gonna go protest when, uh, when,
39:49.150 --> 39:52.670
when Bibi comes to, to New York. Um, not that that's gonna change
39:52.830 --> 39:56.670
anything, right? But, uh, people will go out there and have their voices
39:57.230 --> 40:00.430
heard and, and seen. It's up to you to believe it, of course. You'd be
40:00.930 --> 40:03.150
like, oh, those are holograms from space, you know, you can make that up.
40:03.230 --> 40:06.590
But, um, yeah, Benjamin Netanyahu's not gonnaâ getting arrested here in New
40:06.670 --> 40:10.430
York, but I, I applaud Mom Dani's efforts and I applaud
40:10.670 --> 40:14.490
him saying that he should be arrested and that
40:14.570 --> 40:18.970
he is a war criminal. And Ro Khanna said the same thing.
40:19.290 --> 40:22.810
Like him or not, they're saying the same thing. They're like, this guy is a
40:22.890 --> 40:26.330
war criminal. And this is what we've been talking about here in The
40:26.570 --> 40:29.690
Alternative for some time. Are they not right?
40:30.010 --> 40:32.730
Please find the lie. Please find it.
40:33.050 --> 40:36.490
Okay, it is now 12:50. It's 12:47, but it's
40:36.990 --> 40:40.200
almost 12:50. Closing thoughts. We're gonna go around the horn,
40:40.280 --> 40:43.160
we're gonna shout out the chat, and we're getting out of here. I could play
40:43.320 --> 40:46.840
Elon Musk, but that'll, that'll spark another
40:47.000 --> 40:50.080
like 20-30 minute conversation that we don't have time for.
40:50.600 --> 40:53.400
Ashley, what is going on? How are you? Tell the people where they can find
40:53.560 --> 40:56.680
you. What's going on? Yeah, and I just want to say you're,
40:57.180 --> 41:00.680
you're exactly right. I mean, in, in this, in my opinion, the Israel issue
41:01.080 --> 41:04.600
is so egregious that it's just a breath of fresh air if
41:05.100 --> 41:08.860
you hear anybody in the political space admit this and
41:09.020 --> 41:11.980
make that concession. And like what Don was saying,
41:12.380 --> 41:16.380
as far as like, look, I mean, I consider this
41:17.580 --> 41:21.260
like one of the most critical issues. So if somebody's right on that,
41:21.420 --> 41:24.860
then you at least can appreciate the, um,
41:25.340 --> 41:28.620
you know, their rhetoric around that. And I did have some people that
41:28.700 --> 41:31.420
seemed a little mad that I was joking with Don. I was just kidding.
41:31.740 --> 41:35.330
I don't expect Don to know who Gavin Rosedale is. Just a
41:35.410 --> 41:38.770
joke. I know lots. I, I love Vertical Horizon.
41:38.930 --> 41:41.730
Have you guys heard Vertical Horizon? They're probably a newer group than them. I like
41:41.810 --> 41:45.250
Our Lady of Peace. I love, uh, Better Than Ezra. I know
41:45.330 --> 41:49.010
a lot of these groups. Blink-182. I don't know if they're new anymore, but I
41:49.090 --> 41:52.530
like them. Just for the record, New Found Glory bands
41:52.610 --> 41:55.970
are old. They're, they're all old bands, all of them,
41:56.610 --> 42:00.870
you know. So we are all, you know, we're talking about Diamond Rosedale Well,
42:01.190 --> 42:04.550
are thereâ I don't think there are any bands beyond that. They probably won't know
42:05.050 --> 42:07.430
is whatâ there's no rock and roll anymore. I can't like any newer ones than
42:07.930 --> 42:10.550
that, I don't think. Don, I think you're super cool, you understand, right?
42:11.030 --> 42:14.230
This is my music that I grew up with, this stuff. So I, I love
42:14.390 --> 42:17.510
this stuff, right? So I, I, I love that you like, uh,
42:17.590 --> 42:21.110
uh, Our Lady Peace. I love Our Lady Peace. I saw them live once when
42:21.190 --> 42:25.030
they came here to New York, Irving Plaza. And I lovedâ I love Chantal Kremers-Juka,
42:25.110 --> 42:28.350
who's married to the Ryan Maida, the lead singer of that. Love her.
42:28.850 --> 42:32.110
Maybe you. Good Lord. And Ashleyâ Ashley's a music head. She knows everything about
42:32.190 --> 42:35.150
everything there is to know, you know. So, but yeah, so rock and roll is,
42:35.390 --> 42:38.910
is, is pretty much dead. There's a couple of things here and there,
42:39.630 --> 42:43.230
but it's prettyâ there's, there's some stuff in the metal space for those metalheads,
42:43.710 --> 42:46.910
metalheads out there. But anyway, all that to say, I was just joking. I meant
42:47.070 --> 42:50.830
no offense, Don. I don't care if you don't know who the
42:50.910 --> 42:54.600
lead singer of Bush is. Now otherwise,
42:54.760 --> 42:57.640
you can find me on Nights of the Storm Saturday, 2 PM.
42:58.520 --> 43:01.880
And I have my own show, Think Change
43:02.200 --> 43:05.800
Repeat, that is on Thursday at 8:30 PM. And then
43:06.040 --> 43:09.480
I've been working on a deep dive show with my friend Sean called Fool Me
43:09.560 --> 43:13.320
Twice. We just did 2 live episodes this past Friday and
43:13.820 --> 43:17.000
the one before on TWA 800. Yeah, uh,
43:17.240 --> 43:20.360
30 years later. And I learned a lot. That's a really interesting,
43:21.000 --> 43:24.860
um, story. It's very tragic. But I'm glad that we're not
43:25.360 --> 43:28.220
letting it be memory hold. So just kind of been busy lately,
43:28.780 --> 43:32.300
and I appreciate the opportunity to be here with y'all. I always love
43:32.540 --> 43:35.740
America Unplugged. Wow, we appreciate you, Ashley. Um, thank you for
43:35.820 --> 43:38.940
coming on, and thank you for helping us out in Tony's absence, man. Uh,
43:39.020 --> 43:41.980
Little John says Billy is like a doctor. He sees you for 10 minutes and
43:42.480 --> 43:45.820
charges you for an hour. Thing is, I, I don't, I don't charge you.
43:46.060 --> 43:49.740
This is socialized medicine. You get it for free, okay? When have I
43:49.820 --> 43:53.340
ever charged any of you for anything? It's a socialized podcast. Billy, thatâ you're
43:53.420 --> 43:55.620
too right about that, Billy. Billy would just say,
43:56.260 --> 43:59.940
don't worry about it, I got you, you're good, make me a
44:00.100 --> 44:03.540
pie. This is a socialâ this is a socialist podcast, no question
44:03.780 --> 44:06.660
about it. Very, very socialist. For the people, by the people,
44:07.300 --> 44:10.740
ladies and gents. Uh, Don Jeffries, the legendary.
44:10.900 --> 44:14.500
You will be at Bob Dylan tonight. You might
44:14.820 --> 44:18.260
be over at RB Hamm later tonight. You are a busy man.
44:18.500 --> 44:21.240
You look the part. Look at that shirt. Your,
44:22.040 --> 44:25.560
your, your hair is combed, you are ready to go and tell the people what's
44:26.060 --> 44:29.320
right. I'm sure. Well, Kenny Powers says that, uh, Iâ if I like old
44:29.480 --> 44:33.080
country, don't Brandon Flowers from The Killers. And I like The Killers, I know The
44:33.580 --> 44:37.240
Killers, but they'reâ somebody from them is associated with country? The Killers?
44:37.800 --> 44:41.160
Really? Okay, I didn't know. They don't seem to go together, but okay. I don't
44:41.660 --> 44:43.880
know. I know all this stuff, man. Up until when I would know it today,
44:43.960 --> 44:46.200
but there'sâ there areâ there's no rock and roll. I used toâ I used to
44:46.700 --> 44:50.410
be a downloading bandit. You know, I, I illegally downloaded
44:50.490 --> 44:53.610
certainâ no, say illegally, I'm not confessing any crimes because it's not illegal.
44:54.250 --> 44:57.770
We all share music. That was bullshit. So, uh, but lots and
44:57.930 --> 45:01.050
lots of music files, let's say. But anyhow, so, um,
45:01.530 --> 45:04.810
but I wannaâ I do want to mention about Matt Mondami that, uh, again,
45:05.050 --> 45:08.010
this is an example of as long as he keeps upâ is heâ as long
45:08.510 --> 45:11.610
as he says Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal, people like me
45:12.110 --> 45:13.930
that may not like a lot of stuff about him, we're going to say right
45:14.010 --> 45:17.200
on. And, and he's going to keep up his power. And as I said,
45:17.280 --> 45:21.360
if you stupid Republicans, whatever's left, the Republicucks, if you have
45:21.440 --> 45:24.960
an answer to these people, then come up with something other than,
45:25.040 --> 45:28.480
you know, attacking Cuba for 60 years. That's your answer?
45:28.800 --> 45:32.320
You think that's the response to the communists and socialists that are running us?
45:32.400 --> 45:35.840
You know what, get them done. You know, it's ridiculous.
45:36.160 --> 45:39.600
So I mean, so Ramdani, I agree that he's probably popular. I don't
45:40.100 --> 45:42.720
know, have you been to it? Has he really instituted the free grocery stores?
45:42.780 --> 45:45.660
Is that it? Because that was one of his things. We gotâ we, we're getting
45:45.900 --> 45:49.340
one in a year here in the Bronx, and then after that I think
45:49.840 --> 45:53.820
there's another one inâ there's a site in Manhattan where La Marqueta used to be,
45:53.980 --> 45:56.460
uh, he's gonna set up there. That's gonna be pretty cool because I used to
45:56.960 --> 45:59.500
love going to La Marqueta when I was a kid, uh, but definitely one in
46:00.000 --> 46:03.100
the Bronx. He's already working on it. He's getting to work. He, he enjoys being
46:03.260 --> 46:06.620
the mayor of New York. It's notâ he doesn't wantâ he's not Eric Adams.
46:07.120 --> 46:09.740
Eric Adams, who just, you know, tookâ or, or de Blasio or any of these
46:09.980 --> 46:12.880
freaking fools that we've had here. This guy is getting to work,
46:13.600 --> 46:16.880
you know, and I mean, I really don't understand what's there not to
46:17.040 --> 46:20.480
like, you know, like what's wrong with, with, uh, with,
46:20.640 --> 46:23.920
uh, withâ well, because we, we, first of
46:24.420 --> 46:28.000
all, if he's talking, if he's talking about doing something for the people that need
46:28.160 --> 46:31.360
help, then he's going to be called a communist or socialist automatically
46:32.080 --> 46:34.880
because the people in power don't want it. That's why we have so many people
46:35.040 --> 46:38.880
that need help. Exactly. We would instead, we'll help people all
46:39.380 --> 46:42.650
over the world. We'll do that. Well, allegedly we'll send money over
46:42.730 --> 46:45.450
there and it won't help them either, but we'll claim we're doing it, right?
46:45.950 --> 46:49.930
But so this isâ and this is why, again, populism is the answer.
46:50.410 --> 46:54.250
America, real America first. Exactly, good point.
46:54.490 --> 46:57.290
Somebody mentioned that in the chat earlier today. They were like,
46:57.370 --> 47:00.570
populismâ I don't know who it wasâ populism would, would, uh,
47:00.810 --> 47:04.170
would notâ will never exist, will never happen here in the
47:04.330 --> 47:07.380
United States. Fake populism will not work. No,
47:07.880 --> 47:11.060
it will not. What Mamdani is doing in large part is
47:11.300 --> 47:15.300
New York City first. That's what Mamdani is doing here.
47:15.540 --> 47:19.460
Yeah, you know, it really is. So populism presented
47:19.700 --> 47:23.780
in the right way and including everyone,
47:24.260 --> 47:28.100
including all Americans, not just the Americans that you think
47:28.580 --> 47:33.540
should be included. No, I mean all Americans, real pure populism
47:34.580 --> 47:38.500
can work, you know, and, and it doesn't have to be totalâ the
47:38.660 --> 47:41.940
philosophy doesn't have to be totally implemented. We can
47:42.100 --> 47:45.140
pull from socialism, we can pull from capitalism,
47:45.220 --> 47:48.580
whatever works best for us as a people.
47:48.660 --> 47:51.380
I don't understand why there's trigger words, you know, and they're like, oh my God,
47:51.540 --> 47:55.060
socialist, no, no, we don't wantâ and it doesn'tâ it's
47:55.560 --> 47:58.580
a question of priority. We, we are a socialist country. I tell these people all
47:59.080 --> 48:02.590
the time, we have this country that's socialism without services. We just don't
48:03.090 --> 48:07.150
have services. We tax you at a socialist rate. We just don't do anything about
48:07.230 --> 48:11.150
the roads and bridges, the power grids, or anything. We don't do anything like that.
48:11.310 --> 48:14.750
Weâ you don't have the services. In France, a real socialist country, if you get
48:14.830 --> 48:18.110
pregnant, uh, both you and your partner get
48:18.190 --> 48:21.870
a year paid off work leave from work. They'll send people for
48:22.030 --> 48:25.550
months to your house to deliver diapers to you and
48:25.710 --> 48:28.810
help you with childcare. I'm not saying I want to do that. But that's what
48:28.890 --> 48:32.010
their taxes get paid for. Pay for hereâ what do
48:32.090 --> 48:35.930
our taxes pay for? Aid to Ukraine, you know,
48:36.170 --> 48:40.090
incestuous relationship to Israel, you know, that kind of stuff. So weâ
48:40.250 --> 48:43.690
so that'sâ it's America first. If you put America first, then you
48:43.770 --> 48:46.890
can't help but do some of these socialist things.
48:47.050 --> 48:50.090
You look at the roads and bridges, how can you not fix them? But as
48:50.170 --> 48:53.530
long as you keep distracting the public, which is what Trump isâ and he criticized
48:53.770 --> 48:57.260
this before His whole point was, you know, your infrastructure's collapsing,
48:57.760 --> 48:59.820
we got all these people here. And of course he's doing exactly the opposite.
49:00.060 --> 49:03.340
As long as you keep pointingâ you said, was it Mali? Another, another Mali,
49:03.580 --> 49:07.100
another place nobody could find on a map. Somehow that's an issue now
49:07.260 --> 49:10.860
too. Cuba. So anything except let's look at all the
49:10.940 --> 49:13.900
stuff out here. The roof is caving in, the kids are starving,
49:14.540 --> 49:18.140
they're cutting off the utilities. But you know what, we got to go across the
49:18.300 --> 49:21.730
street, man. Look at what's going on over there. Gotta stop
49:21.810 --> 49:25.010
it. A real America First party. Unfortunately, Trump has probably ruined that phrase.
49:25.170 --> 49:28.810
But anyhow, people can find me, Substack, subscribe over there, donaldjeffries.substack.com.
49:29.410 --> 49:33.330
I protest just like my podcast. Uh, appreciate that.
49:33.570 --> 49:36.610
And, uh, you can getâ you can follow me on X now. I'm there at
49:37.110 --> 49:40.130
least for the time being, @donjeffries. And all my books are out there, uh,
49:40.610 --> 49:44.450
everywhere, soon to appear on Ashley's shelves at some point. So fantastic, 100%.
49:45.490 --> 49:49.180
Um, Yeah, um, Mom Donnie filled up thousands of potholes here
49:49.680 --> 49:53.020
in New York already, you know, so they're getting to work on the infrastructure too.
49:53.740 --> 49:57.420
Um, so I, I, uh, and they're not free grocery stores,
49:57.740 --> 50:01.420
uh, they're just cheaper, more affordable grocery stores.
50:01.660 --> 50:04.300
Uh, I think it was Robin that said in the chat the problem with free
50:04.380 --> 50:07.660
grocery stores is if you're at the end of the line, and that makes sense,
50:07.820 --> 50:11.260
you know. Um, but, uh, but they're not free, you know, it's, it's just,
50:11.340 --> 50:14.570
uh, lower prices. From, from local growers,
50:14.650 --> 50:17.850
you know, local farmers. You know, it's, it's aâ I don't see any problem
50:18.090 --> 50:21.530
with any of this, you know. And a lot of these European countries that
50:21.770 --> 50:25.050
people look at and they're like, that's what we should be, they have a lot
50:25.130 --> 50:28.650
of, of, uh, socialist policies that they,
50:28.970 --> 50:32.170
uh, live by, and they're very happy over there, you know.
50:32.250 --> 50:36.650
So I think it's, it's a reframing of, of socialism.
50:37.150 --> 50:41.500
I think the, the younger generation has a different view on
50:41.660 --> 50:44.940
these words than what people of our generation and
50:45.100 --> 50:49.100
back grew up with. They, they have a, a different way of looking at it.
50:49.180 --> 50:51.900
So I put that up for Jackson E. Bear because he's complaining. So yeah,
50:52.400 --> 50:55.980
you got one posted there. And I also want to thank
50:56.220 --> 50:59.500
Sweet. Sweet's put my, uh, what's up, link to my X there. Thank you,
51:00.000 --> 51:03.420
appreciate it. Thank you, Angel Blue. How you doing, Sweet? And,
51:03.660 --> 51:07.700
and, uh, let me find a controversial post by,
51:07.940 --> 51:11.780
uh, by our friend here. I don't know if we can find one. It wasn't
51:12.280 --> 51:14.900
all that controversial today. He just said, why aren't you posting myâ I don't know
51:15.400 --> 51:17.860
what you want to post. You postâ I think I'm on your side a lot
51:18.360 --> 51:21.060
of times, Jackson. I don't know what you're, uh, what you want.
51:24.260 --> 51:27.300
USAIDâ here we goâ was just
51:27.460 --> 51:31.380
the UBI for the NGOs. Well, sounds like more conspiracy
51:31.860 --> 51:35.710
theory to me. You know, you know what I can tell you is that
51:36.270 --> 51:40.190
millions of people are dead as a result of pulling this thing recklessly because
51:40.350 --> 51:43.790
Trump had no idea what he was doing and Elon Musk had no idea what
51:44.290 --> 51:47.390
he was doing. No idea. They just did. And you know what else they
51:47.470 --> 51:50.990
did in the process? Took your information. That's what they
51:51.070 --> 51:53.950
did more effectively than anything else with USAID and every,
51:54.270 --> 51:57.950
and every other, uh, government agency that they went on to raid for waste,
51:58.270 --> 52:01.940
fraud, and abuse. They didn't do any of Where's your check? Where's your
52:02.100 --> 52:05.780
$5,000 check? Where is it? From all that money that they were supposed to
52:05.940 --> 52:09.460
recover. But you know what they did get? All your information.
52:09.780 --> 52:13.140
All of it. What are they going to do with it? We are going to
52:13.220 --> 52:16.420
see, because they definitely have it, these crazy, yucky,
52:16.580 --> 52:20.260
smelly technocrats. Let's get up out of here. It is America Unplugged,
52:20.660 --> 52:23.940
everybody. My name is Billy Ray Valentine. I might go
52:24.020 --> 52:27.060
live tomorrow, but I don't know. But I will
52:27.460 --> 52:31.180
do it this week at some point. Uh, new episodes
52:31.260 --> 52:34.620
over at theinfinitefringe.podbeam.com. We're gonna rename it
52:34.700 --> 52:37.820
Guerrilla Underground very soon, and I got a couple of more interviews lined up.
52:38.320 --> 52:41.020
It's gonna be dope. I just spoke to your friend Neil Sanders, Don. He says
52:41.180 --> 52:44.780
hello. Um, but, uh, it was a, it was a, a nice
52:45.340 --> 52:48.940
interview about our journey in the alt media. We'd been in similar
52:49.340 --> 52:52.780
places together, uh, and, and we took similar
52:53.100 --> 52:57.750
roads, and now we're, uh And we have looked
52:57.990 --> 53:01.670
back on that, on that time. So we sat and discussed, and it
53:01.990 --> 53:05.270
was good. It was therapeutic for me to be able to sit
53:05.350 --> 53:09.350
with somebody that aligned with me so closely. You know,
53:09.430 --> 53:13.510
I don't think there's anybody else in the world that I can speak
53:13.670 --> 53:16.870
to on that level. Like, the dude was literally with me at Iconic. You know,
53:17.030 --> 53:20.070
like, the dude has been all over the place, you know,
53:20.310 --> 53:24.120
and So, and we, we ended up in
53:24.200 --> 53:27.480
roughly the same spot, so it's good to talk to him. Maybe this is all
53:27.980 --> 53:31.080
a psyop. Maybe we were all guided, uh, he and I were guided to go
53:31.580 --> 53:34.440
in that direction. We took a different carrot than other people. I don't know.
53:34.520 --> 53:38.040
But this is what we're talking about, uh, on, on The Infinite Fringe. We're going
53:38.540 --> 53:42.600
to talk cults, we're going to talk, uh, surveillance, mass surveillance, the technocracy,
53:43.100 --> 53:46.600
of course, you know, and, uh, mind control. Because odds
53:47.100 --> 53:51.300
are Your thoughts are not your own, at least 99.9%
53:51.620 --> 53:54.020
of that. I know that's a hard pill to swallow, but it's the truth.
53:54.520 --> 53:58.340
At least I think so. Let's get out of here. Ashley is in the house.
53:58.580 --> 54:00.980
Don Jeffries, what is up? Tony Arterburn.
54:01.700 --> 54:04.980
John Brisson, what's going on? How are you? Uh, Wayne McCroy.
54:05.540 --> 54:08.980
Charlie Robinson, what's up everybody in the chat? Let me say what's up. You guys
54:09.060 --> 54:12.260
can take off if you want. What time is it? It is 1:01. Don,
54:12.760 --> 54:14.420
if you need to leave, go ahead. I'm gonna, I'm gonna shout out the chat.
54:14.580 --> 54:16.870
Ashley, you want to hang for a couple of minutes? I appreciate it, guys.
54:17.030 --> 54:20.390
All right, guys, take care. Have fun tonight. Take a video
54:20.470 --> 54:23.830
and send it to me. Okay. All right. See you later. Oh no, I can't.
54:23.990 --> 54:27.430
That's one of the other things. He's absolutelyâ they're, they're strictly enforcing
54:27.510 --> 54:30.230
no phones usage at all. Oh, I'm done. I wouldn't have gone. I mean,
54:30.310 --> 54:32.950
I get arrested at a Dylan concert. Maybe I'll do that. Do that.
54:33.750 --> 54:37.030
Yo, that'd be, that'd be so punk rock. We played here on America Unplugged.
54:37.530 --> 54:41.870
It'll be the opening to America Unplugged, them taking you out in handcuffs.
54:42.070 --> 54:45.600
Have fun tonight. Okay, man. Be good, Ashley.
54:46.080 --> 54:49.600
It's just you and me. And then there we are, you know.
54:49.680 --> 54:52.000
Um, but, uh, let me say what's up to the people. I don'tâ you know,
54:52.320 --> 54:55.680
I typicallyâ Tony reminds me, but I remember today,
54:56.180 --> 54:57.680
so I don'tâ I don't want to goâ I don't want to leave without saying
54:58.180 --> 55:01.040
what's up. I know you got Nights of the Storm coming up. Um, I'm good.
55:01.120 --> 55:04.240
I got all my hard work in, Billy. Got this
55:04.480 --> 55:07.840
office reâ I'm just feeling good. I'm happy to be here. I'm ready
55:08.000 --> 55:10.640
to go. Excellent. I'm gonna go see The Odyssey tonight.
55:11.980 --> 55:15.340
I can't wait. You'll have to let me know what you think because I know
55:15.840 --> 55:18.620
it's getting a lot of heat out there, but I think it looks kind of
55:19.120 --> 55:22.140
good. It looks fantastic, first of all. But people are getting heat because, uh,
55:22.780 --> 55:26.620
Lupita Nyong'o or whatever her last name is, she is Helen of
55:26.860 --> 55:30.300
Troy. And they're like, oh, she shouldn't be Helen of Troy because she's Black.
55:30.460 --> 55:33.580
She happens to be a very, very beautiful woman, you know.
55:34.060 --> 55:37.330
So let that rock, okay? It's, it's, it's not an issue. All right,
55:37.830 --> 55:40.930
here we go. Little John, what is going on? Jackson T. Barrett is in the
55:41.010 --> 55:43.610
house. Little John, we will have, uh,
55:43.970 --> 55:46.530
uh, let me see. Well, let's post this. I don't know what he's saying there,
55:47.030 --> 55:50.370
but I'll post it. Shadow banning? We're not shadow banning you, dude.
55:51.090 --> 55:54.450
Not everything is about you, you know. It's literallyâ it'sâ
55:54.770 --> 55:58.370
we'reâ I miss everybody's comments all the
55:58.450 --> 56:02.290
time. Uh, we love you, Jackson. Knights of the Storm.
56:03.180 --> 56:06.700
Candace Owens and hot is hot. You think she's hot?
56:07.200 --> 56:10.140
I don't think so. I think she looks like Michael Jackson. Hold on. To each
56:10.640 --> 56:13.340
his own though, to each his own. I think that's Jason. To each his own,
56:13.840 --> 56:17.180
Jay, I'm not judging. Okay, Candace Owens is hot but a little nutty.
56:17.260 --> 56:20.300
Very, very nutty. Maybe, you know, veryâ I mean,
56:21.100 --> 56:24.380
upper echelons of nutty. Knights of the Storm, make sure you tune in.
56:24.540 --> 56:28.220
Harps is in the house. What's up, Harps? How are you? Youâ why
56:28.870 --> 56:31.910
Y1984, what is going on?
56:32.410 --> 56:35.430
Hope you're doing well. We got Twisted Pistol in the house. What's going on?
56:35.930 --> 56:38.310
We did an episode on Candace Owens. Most people actually liked it. I thought we
56:38.810 --> 56:41.030
were going to get a lot of crap for it. Over on Rumble, we got
56:41.110 --> 56:44.230
some crap for it because, you know, yeah, you know,
56:44.390 --> 56:48.150
um, you're not, you're not on a technocratic platform over on Rumble.
56:48.530 --> 56:51.670
Just giving you a heads up, you're absolutely totally not. All right,
56:51.750 --> 56:54.950
uh, what else do we have? Bronx Stomper, say what's up to Bronx Stomper.
56:55.450 --> 56:58.390
Ashley, he was on your show not too long ago. Say what's up. Hello to
56:58.890 --> 57:01.990
my friend Bronc Stomper. Yes, he was, and he brought a lot of really good
57:02.470 --> 57:05.830
information. Derek, Bronc Stomper is not what I expected for some reason,
57:06.390 --> 57:09.750
you know. I, I, when I, when I, I wasn't expecting the person
57:09.990 --> 57:12.870
that he is. I was expecting something else. I don't know what I was expecting,
57:13.030 --> 57:16.470
but I wasn't expecting that. Very educated, full of knowledge
57:16.950 --> 57:19.910
on a lot of different subjects, like really, uh,
57:20.950 --> 57:24.470
a wealth of information. So definitely shout out Bronc, and thank you
57:24.970 --> 57:26.860
for coming on my show. What up, Bronc? How you doing?
57:27.100 --> 57:29.740
Nostra321, what's going on? Angel Blue,
57:30.060 --> 57:33.580
greetings and blessings to you. How are you? Sweets is
57:33.660 --> 57:37.540
in the house. What's going on, Sweets? Thanks for being here. John Bastiglione,
57:37.740 --> 57:40.860
how are you? Good to see you yet again. Truth Refugee,
57:41.580 --> 57:44.140
burn it down. We're about to do that in a second if you hang around.
57:44.640 --> 57:48.220
We're about to burn it down. Good to see you, Truth Ref. Uh, the Fugees
57:48.860 --> 57:52.120
is one of my favorite hip-hop groups of all time. Uh,
57:52.520 --> 57:56.520
Fuji's The Score is top
57:56.680 --> 58:00.360
5 hip-hop albums for me. Easy, easy. Itâ I think it's
58:00.860 --> 58:04.200
very underrated, doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Uh, Fuji's reminded me of that.
58:04.440 --> 58:07.880
Refugee. Anyway, Kenny Powers, I don't know if I mentioned you before, but you're worth
58:08.040 --> 58:11.160
mentioning again. How are you, my friend? Good to see you. Uh,
58:11.400 --> 58:15.160
You're a Daisy, what's going on? I'm your Huckleberry, what's going on?
58:17.720 --> 58:21.160
Good to see you, Daisy. Uh, Little Johnny Boy,
58:21.240 --> 58:25.320
you owe me a pizza, all right? I'm not gonna charge you for the doctor's
58:25.820 --> 58:29.800
visit, but I'd like a slice, a plain slice of pizza.
58:29.960 --> 58:33.160
Pizza Suprema, right across the street from Madison Square Garden.
58:33.320 --> 58:36.440
Hook me up with that, we'll call it even. All right, let me see what
58:36.520 --> 58:40.040
else. Uh, Harps, repeat offenders going on.
58:40.200 --> 58:42.920
Uh, we're merged with, with, um,
58:43.320 --> 58:46.870
Rumble, so I'm shouting you guys out at the same time. And I think that's
58:47.370 --> 58:50.230
it. Karen, what's going on? Karen B, good to see you.
58:50.390 --> 58:53.910
Um, I don't know if Piper Fogel is in the chat, but I'll shout
58:53.990 --> 58:57.110
her out anyway just in case. Guard Goldsmith, I don't
58:57.610 --> 58:58.870
see him in the chat, but I want to say what's up to him.
58:59.370 --> 59:01.830
I haven't spoken to Guard in a second. I got to say what's up.
59:02.330 --> 59:05.510
Um, damn. Colin Wise Song, how you
59:05.590 --> 59:09.110
doing? Misfit, what's going on, my guy? I know who that is.
59:09.270 --> 59:12.470
Good to see you. Um, oh, the Nature Boy is in the house.
59:13.350 --> 59:16.870
Whoa, the Nature Boy! What's going on? Uh,
59:17.030 --> 59:20.470
we, we gotta catch up, Nate. Uh, what else, what else we got?
59:20.710 --> 59:24.470
That's it, that's it. I don't know, do you have any? Oh, Lou, Lou G
59:25.030 --> 59:27.830
for Liberty, what's going on? Uh,
59:28.230 --> 59:31.590
whomever I missed, I am so sorry. I tried, I tried my hardest.
59:32.230 --> 59:34.230
Um, Harps, Australia still doesn't exist.
59:35.430 --> 59:38.630
Tell them something, Ashley. I don't know if there's anybody that you want to shout
59:38.790 --> 59:41.670
out that we didn't get. Greg Dub 27, what's going on?
59:42.420 --> 59:45.940
But, uh, do it before we burn this place down. Yeah, so we had
59:46.260 --> 59:49.460
overâ I don't know if some of these were not
59:50.020 --> 59:53.460
popping up, but over on Don's specific chat, so we had Angel
59:53.780 --> 59:56.980
Blue, Cecilia, and we hadâ so I know you said some
59:57.060 --> 01:00:00.340
of them, but I don't know if you call Angel Blue Robin Lee.
01:00:00.900 --> 01:00:04.180
And there was maybe several others. Yep,
01:00:04.340 --> 01:00:07.380
sorry if I missed y'all, but the chat over in Don's channel is kind of
01:00:07.880 --> 01:00:11.440
hopping. Dustin Helm is in the chat. What's up, my guy Dustin?
01:00:11.520 --> 01:00:15.800
How you doing, Mr. Helm? Um, more people as I scroll,
01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:19.120
uh, I'm catching here, but a lot of repeat offenders and we like that.
01:00:19.200 --> 01:00:22.400
So, um, there's a lot of, a lot of stuff going on. Greg Dubâ I
01:00:22.900 --> 01:00:25.360
said Greg Dub. All right, man, that's it. Ashley, are you ready?
01:00:27.680 --> 01:00:31.280
I'm ready. We are ready. That didn't sound very enthusiastic. Ashley, are you
01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:34.720
ready? I'm ready. Very nice. We are
01:00:34.800 --> 01:00:38.150
going to burn this place down. I will play some
01:00:38.230 --> 01:00:41.910
outro music because it feels, it feels necessary, especially after I
01:00:41.990 --> 01:00:45.030
gave it the whole are you ready thing. It feels like we need to play
01:00:45.110 --> 01:00:47.430
some outro music. You really hyped it up, so we got to do it,
01:00:47.510 --> 01:00:50.470
right? We got to do it. We're burning it down, ladies and gentlemen. We will
01:00:50.550 --> 01:00:53.830
see you guys next week. Ashley's on Nights of the Storm at
01:00:53.990 --> 01:00:57.510
2 PM, RBM at 10 PM, Weezy What's Up
01:00:57.670 --> 01:01:01.350
at 5 PM Eastern. We're out of here. Burn it down.
01:01:27.980 --> 01:01:31.620
To you boys, and they're like, you're fun.
01:01:31.740 --> 01:01:35.580
It's being a gang called the Disciples, high on crack,
01:01:35.740 --> 01:01:35.840
totally swinging.
