SPEAKER_01: 0:01

It's the Alpha Curve Show with Clay Nova, serving up trending news and conservative views. Brought to you by the Alpha Curve and Refuge Medical. And now it's time for the show.

SPEAKER_03: 0:22

Well, hey my friend. How are you?

SPEAKER_04: 0:25

I'm good. It's been a it's been a week, uh, but uh but I'm good. How are you?

SPEAKER_03: 0:30

I am good. I know you've had a busy week. I have had, I've actually had a busy week. I don't know why I say that like it's such a surprise, but yeah, it went by fast. I feel like everything, I feel like this whole year has gone by extremely fast. I I literally was summer one minute ago, and now we're almost at Thanksgiving, and I can't, I just can't wrap my brain around it. I don't know if it's like a age thing, like the older you get, the faster time seems to move or what, but I I just I can't don't say that.

SPEAKER_04: 1:02

But you're right, like daylight savings hit, and I was like, it's November. Like, what is what is going on here? With yeah, the year has moved very, very quickly.

SPEAKER_03: 1:11

So fast. So uh we'll tell everybody right off the bat we are doing something unusual that we don't normally do. Today, recording time is Thursday, as you guys should well know by now. We normally record on Wednesday and we air the show on Thursday, and we are recording and airing all in the same day. So fun, fun, fun for all of us, I guess.

SPEAKER_04: 1:34

Folks, it's five o'clock Eastern time. So we've got uh about what four-hour difference between uh recording and airing. So it'll be uh about as current as it can get. But this is the result of Alsa and I having busy lives. This is this was uh about the time that we could iron things out and both be on the same page. So um it'll be uh a little more current than normal, but uh we we want we always want to get the show out for you guys, and we got some great topics this week. Lots going on, lots to talk about, and we will get started right after this.

SPEAKER_07: 2:04

Six weeks down the Democrats are still holding America on state to double down on bad ideas and the electing total. The president faces the 50-minute body again. U.S. troops finally former vice president, the legacy of the 20 minutes, and even though we finally admit the planet after let's talk about it.

SPEAKER_03: 2:35

Let's talk about it. Well, here we are, week six in uh the Schumer shutdown. And um, I would have they shut down, I think it was like 15 times now so far. They have shot down every attempt to reopen the government, uh holding us all hostage still. Um, and for you know, all of the folks that continuously want to, especially them, we know it's the them leading this charge, to blame uh President Trump for this. Um we got a little graphic here that that tells you the truth of all this of who's actually doing it. So um it's it's definitely not President Trump. It is definitely the Democrats. And I made a I made a projection, and I I don't know how right I'll be. I I feel like this will be over within um uh a matter of days, potentially, because you know those elections are done, served their you know, served their purpose to a degree, and now they're gonna start going, well, I think it's time. I think it's time. Do you am I crazy? Am I wrong? What do you think?

SPEAKER_04: 3:35

Listen, I I I blew it from the get-go. Remember? I this is my most wrong projection of all time. I think thought this was gonna be under two weeks. I thought it was gonna be about 10 days. Clearly not. We're rolling into week six. Um, you're right about the election. I I think that played a and and I think uh certain people, I don't know if Jeffries has been public about it, but there have been politicians that have been been public, publicly said that they were gonna wait until after the elections to to kind of you know attempt to resolve this. Um I I you know, but I also heard now they're talking about Thanksgiving. Like they want to be through Thanksgiving. They're actually actively talking about ruining people's holidays to try and blame it on President Trump. Um, you know, um John Fetterman has said that this is political theater and it's embarrassing. Uh, he's embarrassed for his party. Um, so it's not a secret. And and those who are being honest, as you talked about with the graphic, those who are being honest understand that this is not President Trump. He can't affect this. Folks, he cannot affect this. Um and and you know, Speaker of the House has been involved, and and so they're doing everything they can. And but you're right, I think we're 15 votes now where the Democrats have voted um to you know continue the shutdown and not even negotiate. Zero negotiation, zero discussion. Who are you hearing was gonna cross? Because it's gonna take, you know, I think they still need maybe four or five more with Fetterman, um, four or five more to get it to pass. Or are you talking about?

SPEAKER_03: 5:10

I don't know. Yeah. I well, you know, I mean, the biggest thing, the the thing that I think is really making me and probably a lot of people the most furious is that these SOBs are still collecting their paycheck.

SPEAKER_05: 5:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 5:24

And that is the highest insult of all. And I think that is needs to be one of the very first things to change, like as immediately as possible. And I don't think we should stand for anything less than this. If you're gonna shut down the government and take food out of people's mouths and paychecks out of people's pockets, you're not getting one. You are not getting a paycheck. Screw that. So that needs to change effective immediately. And I don't know how that works, because I don't know the things, but I, you know, again, it we I think we talked about this before.

SPEAKER_04: 5:56

You know, President Trump obviously donates his paycheck every month. Um, you know, he's$400,000. He's done it, he did it through the first administration, he's gonna do it, he's been doing it through this one. So he donates it. I don't know how to shut it off. Um, but I don't think it should be optional. I agree with you. I I think, you know, I don't know if there are any. I haven't heard of any. I'm sure there are some Congress people out there that are donating their check. Um, but it shouldn't be optional. I think they should all get it turned off. Um, and you know, the president has said the same thing. He's also pushing for the nuclear option, understanding that that has long-term impact of getting rid of the filibuster. Um so if the you know the GOP or when the GOP loses control of the House or the Senate, then they won't have that at their disposal either. Um, so doing that is uh, you know, that's a you can't there's no undue button on that one. So um it's a deliberate decision. But what all what is also happening the longer that this goes on is that the reserve funds that do exist are being expended. So, you know, we're dipping into funding that was either allocated for something else or you know, was uh a treasure chest or a reserve or just in case that's out there, you know, the president wants to reinstate um WIC and SNAP for those that need American citizens. Um, you know, they have delved into some defense funding to make sure the military has gotten paid. They've taken some donations to make sure the military's gotten paid. But folks, those extra dollars are running out. Um, you know, and and just as an example, you know, the military for the most part gets paid the first and the 15th of every month. Um snap with benefits, you know, and tied into the election, like you were talking about, come out first of the month. Um, you know, military benefits come out once a month, first of the month. So some of these things are hitting those cycles where they had they've used the reserve or they're dipping into the reserve and there's not enough for a second one or a third one in many cases, and it's starting to take its toll. I have friends still either on active duty or um civilians who work on military bases, and things are starting to shut down in that. Um dining facilities, chow halls, as they're commonly, mess halls as they're commonly some of those are starting to shut down because they don't have the funding to buy the food to prepare for the soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines. Okay. So now those kids who aren't getting a paycheck or are getting partial paycheck now have to go out and get food that they are not being even um funded to buy. Um because when you do it in a chow hall, you you get a card that says, hey, I can eat here for nothing. It's taken out of my check. They're also getting to the point where the commissaries, the grocery stores on the bases which provide tax-free, more affordable food, shopping for military families, are also approaching shutdown because they don't have the funding to keep them open as well. So, you know, we're starting to get into second, third, and fourth order effects of the shutdown that are starting to affect people as much as the president's, you know, sec war and everybody else want to continue to pay federal law enforcement, you know, FAA and all those folks, even that extra money, spare money, backup money, contingency money is starting to run out. Right.

SPEAKER_03: 9:01

Uh it's so infuriating all of it, and and that there are enough, certainly enough people that are believing that this is President Trump's fault, the Republicans' fault, when it's so blatant and clear that it it's it's these guys holding this ransom. And, you know, I as painful as it is, I don't disagree with President Trump about you know not bowing down to their you know, this hijacking and this uh deliberate sabotage. You give into this, it sets that precedent. But this none of this should be allowed. They should not be allowed to shut down the government like this. It just simply shouldn't even be apparent. I know, like, well, I mean, you know, the horse is already out of the barn. It's it's well happening. I think this is the uh longest, I know that it's the longest shutdown in history. I don't know what the longest was before this one. Do you have any idea?

SPEAKER_04: 9:59

I it was it was not close to this. Like I think maybe in the 24-day-ish world, and I'm well beyond that. Um, you know, and today they the government basically told the the four major US airlines, hey, you need to start cutting flights because we're not going to be able to manage airspace like we have been, you know, manning staffing is going down. Um they told Amer American United Delta and I think Southwest to start pairing back, um, canceling flights, reducing number of flights. So um that I think uh if you think in in terms of con what how Congress people live, if you're not within driving distance of Washington, DC, um it is now going to become very inconvenient to return home during time off.

SPEAKER_05: 10:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 10:50

Um and this is one of the reasons I don't think that this is gonna go into Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_03: 10:54

Is because it'll start to affect them, right?

SPEAKER_04: 10:57

Yeah, and and I really, really think that what um especially Speaker Johnson will do is he will hold them there. He will tell them they are not going home for Thanksgiving until you know, until they get this thing resolved. I I actually think he should lock them in now. Absolutely he should and just and stay there until it's done. Yes, uh, you know, take give everybody 24 hours and be like, hey, go home, uh pack a bag, bring some clothes, get your two things. Settle in, yeah, and uh settle in because nobody's going home until we figure this out. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, it's uh it's embarrassing, it's shameful. The entire world is watching this craziness go on. Um, and uh and listen, folks, we you know, Elston and I both, we said this last week. There are plenty of people out there, American citizens, who need snap and whip. Okay, we do not believe, want, agree with anybody to miss out on those benefits. We are talking about women, you know, and infants and children in need. We're talking about low-income families in need. Those benefits, as corrupt as that system can be, there are people who really, really do need that stuff to survive. Yeah and and you know, we would like to see that restored. Obviously, there's concerns with the military, there's concerns with uh FAA, there's concern with federal law enforcement. Um, but really I think getting those folks the benefits that they need is priority number one. Um and then, you know, and then we can move from there. But this is, I mean, it's it's embarrassing and it's shameful.

SPEAKER_03: 12:20

It's it's shameful. And you know, I came across this we I'm gonna share another video with you guys, and uh I I used it for some content I created, I don't know, last week or whatever. And um, you know, I I posted as I just simply said that the president uh had this to say about these shutdowns, and then of course did the counter of a a liberal um blaming Trump, and then I played this video here. Give me a second, I pull it up for you. Hold on, it's gonna take a moment because I rem I remembered it, honestly, I remembered it at the last minute that I have it. Okay, so here it is.

SPEAKER_02: 12:56

Not like the law, they can go through Republicans do not like the law, they can go through the regular channels and processes to try to change it. That's why we have elections. So they they they can go through the normal processes and procedures of a democracy, but you do not threaten the full faith and credit of the United States of America. Shutting down the government just because you don't like a law that was passed out to take no Congress before this one has ever in history irresponsible enough to threaten an economic shutdown to suggest America not pay its bills just to threaten blackmail a president into giving them some concessions. I will not negotiate on anything when it comes to the full faith and credit of the United States of America. We're not gonna submit to this kind of total irresponsibility. Congress needs to pay our bills on time, Congress needs to pass a budget on time, Congress needs to put an end to governing from crisis to crisis. Republicans do not like it.

SPEAKER_03: 13:53

So, I mean, there you have it. If you don't want to listen to President Trump say it, listen to your your buddy there, Obama, who said it first. You know, amazing, isn't it? Like memory is so fickle.

SPEAKER_04: 14:08

It's all listen, he's the same guy that, you know, him and Hillary shut down the border, you know, Bill said it too, you know, all of those things, and now, you know, oh, situations evolve and things change.

SPEAKER_03: 14:19

Yeah, all the only thing that was changed.

SPEAKER_04: 14:22

A year ago was telling young black men to vote for Kamala because she, you know, she came from where you came from, and she grew up the same way you grew up with. And then he turns around and he endorses the white lady for governor in Virginia as opposed to the black Jamaican immigrant, marine former Marine officer, fully qualified, former lieutenant governor of the state. He doesn't endorse her, he endorses the white lady. Right. So again, this is it's all political theater. Obama is shows his face to be garbage more and more every single day. Um, you know, and and you're right, you know, as much as they want to blame President Trump, President Obama just laid everything out for him about how wrong it really is. Right, right.

SPEAKER_03: 15:08

And you know, and it it goes to prove that every single time it doesn't matter what's being said, it matters who's saying it, right? It's always about who's saying it because they are literally saying essentially the same exact thing. And it was received from Obama with the buzz and cheers, and oh, you're so amazing, you're so brilliant. And from President Trump, it's received with you know outright hostility and scorn and mockery and all of the things. So, you know, these people, this crowd just invalidates themselves over and over and over again, and you know, every everybody's just sick and tired of it, it except for the blue states. They they just love it, they just love it. So I, you know, uh first and foremost, Clay, I just I want to say uh congratulations, really, like seriously to Virginia, um, because I mean, bravo, bravo, bro, vo. And and if that, you know, if that isn't just prize enough for you, Virginia, um, we have this. So uh this is a reading of a text message exchange.

SPEAKER_08: 16:22

Now it's one. Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, pole Tod. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head. Spoiler, put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know, and he receives both bullets every time. Colleague. K, please stop. Jones. LOL, okay, okay. I mean, do I think Todd and Jennifer are evil and that they're breeding little factors? Yes. Kollie, you're talking about hoping Jennifer Gilbert's children would die. Jones. Yes, I've told you this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.

SPEAKER_03: 17:00

Yeah, yeah, good on you.

SPEAKER_04: 17:02

That guy got elected as the senior law enforcement official for the state of Virginia.

SPEAKER_03: 17:09

Make it make sense, Clay. Make it make sense.

SPEAKER_04: 17:14

I I don't want it to make sense. What I want it to make is criminal charges.

SPEAKER_03: 17:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 17:17

Because what that is is a threat to to another human being and their family.

SPEAKER_03: 17:22

Yes.

SPEAKER_04: 17:23

Uh, I I at a minimum in most states, that is assault. Right. Um, and I know it's a private conversation, and it really doesn't matter because it's not private anymore.

SPEAKER_05: 17:31

Right.

SPEAKER_04: 17:31

Um what I would really really what I would really love is that Pam Bondi presents federal charges against him and charges him as a felon, and he is disbarred because that's what he deserves.

SPEAKER_05: 17:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 17:45

This has to happen. That that's not even retribution, folks. That's not political, you know, uh law fair, whatever you want to call it. That is a human being that should never be anywhere near practicing law, let alone law enforcement.

SPEAKER_05: 17:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 18:00

Like that, that's not kidding. And and folks, I I have about as dark a sense of humor as a you know multi-combat tour kind of guy. Like veterans get pretty, pretty dark. That is sick. That is a mental illness. That is somebody who has a significant problem, and there is no way on earth he should be the attorney general for the state of Virginia. No way.

SPEAKER_03: 18:21

Correct, correct, 100% right. And I'm with you, Clay. I am I am such a fan of Gallo's humor. That is not what that was. That was a sick, twisted, evil mindset and and thing to say, who says something like that. And the LOL, like the LOL, really, that like that's the part like it's funny to you, and it's funny to you.

SPEAKER_05: 18:45

Yeah. I want to know who the college is. Do you know?

SPEAKER_03: 18:48

I don't know. I don't know. If anybody knows, put it in the uh comment section. I don't, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04: 18:53

That person gave him a a touch of a reality check. Like, it's like you should stop saying this. Yeah, you know, and then it's like, hey, you're talking about somebody's kids, and you just keep going.

SPEAKER_03: 19:04

Yeah, to to not pick up on the pew, to not even pick up on the like, dude, what are you saying here? I'm not on board with what you're saying, and to keep going with it, to double down on it and expand on it is like wow.

SPEAKER_04: 19:18

And to say, I've told you this before.

SPEAKER_03: 19:23

Right. Which is obviously why this guy or or woman is. I'm sure that I would suspect it's a guy, it's a male colleague. I don't know why I'm just assuming it's a male colleague, but I feel like that would be like a I don't know. But um, yeah, so he must have been like, all right, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna readdress this conversation. Like maybe it was like an in-person conversation they had when he said these things, and he's like, All right, let me let me get this in print that you're actually saying things like that. Because and the saddest part about that is that that colleague probably went, okay, well, this guy is a monster. This will show everyone what a monster he is, and this will get him at the very least out of the running. Nope.

SPEAKER_04: 20:00

No, nope, and like he didn't even lose the endorsement of the woman who just got elected to be the governor of Virginia. She had the opportunity 20 times in public, in debates, in interviews, people asked her specifically, are you pulling your endorsement? She changed the subject and let it go. And and she's okay with it. Yeah, like not just okay with it, but like she endorsed this guy and wouldn't pull her endorsement. So, how sick is she?

SPEAKER_03: 20:24

Yeah. Well, this is this is, you know, I mean, how many more clear indicators can we possibly get as a nation of what the left chooses? The left chooses violence every single damn time. This is who they are. And for these blue states, for these voters in these blue states to either not recognize it, not believe it, or accept it as right and good and excusable, I I don't even have any words for it. I mean, keep keep your damn states. Uh you you don't have to worry about my going there. I wouldn't step foot.

SPEAKER_04: 21:05

You know, yeah, I and and it's so you've got that, you've got the New Jersey, right? New governor. Umor in a minute. Um that's a whole you've got drop 50 in California, which for those that aren't tracking, basically disbanded California's nonpartisan committee for redistricting for the next three election cycles.

SPEAKER_05: 21:32

Right.

SPEAKER_04: 21:33

So it's not, it is essentially an appointed committee, uh, which everybody knows is gonna come from Newsom's office, which means it's all gonna be Democrats. They're gonna they're gonna gerrymander the state to make sure that every single uh district is is blue, um, you know, because they say they're trying to countermand what's happening in Texas. Um so and that passed, right? So that their state, state of California, voted to be nonpartisan. Like, let's just be completely honest and say what it is. They have voted to be nonpartisan. Um and thankfully, the one turn for the good for crying out loud was the Minneapolis mayor.

SPEAKER_03: 22:17

Oh, yeah, that I I mean.

SPEAKER_04: 22:23

Yeah. So for the one point spot. Yeah, for the mechanics of the election, yeah. Um, very much like the how City of Chicago got this idiot Brandon Johnson, so nobody in Minneapolis hit 50%, which is the threshold for them to be an automatic uh win. Um so what Minneapolis has is you can this is nuts, you can rank three candidates, right? And so when you don't hit 50%, then they have to go back, take all of the rankings, they do a special calculation for all of the rankings, and then whoever wins that ranking system, then it becomes the mayor. Thankfully, the Somali Muslim, you know, Ilian Omar's best buddy did not win, thankfully. Um, and the current mayor of Minneapolis, who's not great, by the way, um, but he retained his office for a third term. Uh, but it was it was dicey for a little bit that we were gonna have another, you know, Muslim truth, I'll say it, jihadist, yeah, um, radical, you know, claims Somalia as his home, speaks in you know multiple tongues when he's talking to the voting base, yeah, um, all of it. You know, waving a Somali flag and an election for an American mayor. Thankfully, that guy lost. But that's the only bright spot of the day.

unknown: 23:50

Right.

SPEAKER_03: 23:50

And then, you know, then you have your soy latte drinking liberals shouting that we are just being uh racist and all of that, and we don't like multiculturalism and diversity. It's like, are you you can't be that stupid? Like you can you be that stupid, or you know, you just like throwing out these ridiculous words because we we have a multicultural cabinet, we have a multicultural government, we have a multicultural world. We're saying no to socialism, we're saying no to communism, we're saying no radicalism, we're saying no to all of those things. And yes, they do come typically from a particular area. It is what it is. I'm not gonna apologize for that. I mean, the Muslims make no secret of what their goals and intentions are. So just stop already with your nonsense. And, you know, let I I think, you know, some people perhaps on the on the right, uh, you know, we're kind of going into like a maybe a little bit of a panic mode here, saying, like, oh, it's gonna be a blue weight. No, these were already blue. These were already blue states. This this was, I mean, we were talking about this already for at least two weeks, saying that we knew at the very least, Mamdanny was was in. We knew that was happening. And I feel like I feel like kind of everyone already knew that this was a foregone conclusion that this would happen.

SPEAKER_04: 25:15

Um but with that one, you and I talked about it. So it was close enough to 50%. Yes, because Sliwa didn't drop out, and not saying that every single person who voted for Sliwa would have voted for Cuomo, but it was probably pretty close. Yeah, that that race could have turned had Sliwa not been self-centered, arrogant, you know, that the seven and a half, just under eight percent that he took away from Cuomo really made a decisive uh change in the outcome of that uh of that election.

SPEAKER_05: 25:45

So it makes him think that the Ross Perot of It's exactly it.

SPEAKER_04: 25:50

You're a hundred percent right. But what you touched on with the elections, and I've got a uh you know a couple of stats here. So young women, young white women, and I say young in the 18 to 29 year old range, educated, right? That demographic, 81% of them voted for mom donnie, 80% of them voted uh for Cheryl in New Jersey, 78% of them voted for Spanberger in Virginia.

SPEAKER_03: 26:21

They are the ones brainwashed, yes, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 26:25

Yeah, yes. Educated white women are are the like listen, folks, if you're if you're one of those people and you're listening to us, you are a super minority and and we love you. Thank you for for being on the side of common sense. But that demographic is the one that is making mat and they're being targeted now by the Dems and by the socialists specifically.

SPEAKER_03: 26:47

Oh, 100%, absolutely. You know, and but this is where every every stinking time the right drops the the Republicans, the GOP, that's where they drop the ball. Like they're paying attention. Why are we not paying attention? Reach these people. I don't care how you freaking do it, but you have these think tanks where you mastermind all of your strategies and your marketing and your campaigning and your all of the things. Why are you not paying attention to these groups? These are major voting groups. You need to get to them. Like do it. I don't know how, I can't tell you how, because that's not my lane. That's not my job, but there are people whose job it is.

SPEAKER_04: 27:33

Yeah, no, you're you're 100% right. And I think, you know, over the last, especially if you look back to the last presidential year ago, you know, there's a lot of focus on Hispanics, right? And there was a big red turn uh demographic, there was a big red turn in in black young males. I think they're targeting groups that group they have not cracked the code on. Um and it's becoming very apparent, one, but two influential. So you're right. I think in the next cycle for the next year, as we approach you know a normal, you know, even year election cycle in 2026, um, the GOP and they're gonna have to figure this out because they're they're missing the boat on that demographic, and it's really, really starting to hurt things. Right.

SPEAKER_03: 28:20

Um I'm gonna say something a little insulting and offensive, maybe, um, to to our crowd, but I'm gonna say I'm gonna say it anyway. Stop putting forward crusty old white men. Like you're not touching that demographic, you're not appealing to that demographic demographic. Mandami, uh AOC. Yes, I mean they're super gross to us, and we see through it all. They're not seeing through it, they're seeing young and fresh and energetic and in touch and in tune with everything. Get some young blood in there on the conservative side and start winning them over. I mean, simple as that. Do it.

SPEAKER_04: 28:58

And and listen, let's be honest. Even many of the females on the GOP side are not appealing to many of the females, you know, female voters. Right. Let's be honest. Right. Um, you know, there's a lot of women who have a problem with Lauren Boeber. There's a lot of women who have problems with um Marjorie Taylor Green. There's a lot, like it's so, you know, like I I and I don't know, truthfully, I won't speak because I don't know for sure how women feel about Nancy Mace, but like her moving back to run for governor and coming out of Congress, I think is uh it's hurtful, uh you know, as far as attracting the the GOP base of voters for women, but I don't know that for sure. So um you're right. I that's the targeting that's gotta happen. Yeah, um, but let's let's talk mom donnie because this is uh this is the uh the the this is a linchpin. It really, really is yes, uh a significant everybody says, Oh, it's just a city. No, it's not a city, it's a the city.

SPEAKER_03: 29:59

It's the City.

SPEAKER_04: 30:00

Literally the city. Right. Yeah. Yeah. 800,000 is the estimate right now. 800,000, an exodus of 800,000 voters out of New York City. Even if it's half of that. Okay. Even if it's half of that, it's still almost a half a million people leaving because of him. Um, businesses are gonna leave and and are planning to leave because of him. We're already, I saw today um the chief of the NYFD who's Jewish, resigned. Wow, right? You uh I thought 170 uh police officers took early retirement today. Yeah, um and that's just the beginning, it's just the beginning. It's all just the beginning, folks. So and and really what that does, that exodus, and and I know there's a lot of people like, hey, Florida's full, hey, Texas is full, hey, Ohio's full, like don't move here. And I and I sympathize with them, I really do.

SPEAKER_05: 30:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 30:58

The problem is that as all of those conservative, even centrist voters in businesses leave New York, that makes it much more difficult in the future. It becomes bluer and bluer and bluer every time one of those people moves. Right. Um, so I think tragedy is the only thing that is going to change things in New York, and we are on the precipice of tragedy.

SPEAKER_03: 31:21

Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's uh listen, if there's an opposite outcome to happen from this, uh no one will be more shocked than me because this feels pretty predictable. Uh right. I mean, this is the the writing is on the wall. You know, uh you elect an open socialist. What do you oh I'm sorry, uh democratic socialist, right? That's what they call themselves to make it sound pretty. Um you're gonna get what you asked for here. And and that female demographic that you were talking about, uh, you know, the irony has not escaped any of us, right, guys. The irony of it all has not escaped any of us. These are the same people, the you know, the the gay and lesbians for um, you know, for Palestine and all of that, you know, these are people that have no comprehension that the people that they are rooting for and cheering for and applauding and voting for, um stone and throw off of buildings gay people. They absolutely do not accept homosexuality whatsoever. Women are, you know, not even second class, it's like third class citizens in their culture. Uh you will get what you asked for. And I I am I am sorry for you and for everyone who has to now live with uh what they've done. And unfortunately, it's it's like the only way that there's gonna be any kind of wake-up call here. Like, okay, yeah, you're gonna get what you wanted. You can ask you.

SPEAKER_04: 32:52

You know, he in the waning days, in the waning days of his of his um campaign, he basically told folks, listen, I don't need money from you anymore. Like, stop making donations. Like, you know, it's run its course, uh, you know, and then immediately is already asking for money.

SPEAKER_03: 33:08

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 33:09

He's already asking for donations. I know I told you, I know I told you to stop giving money, but I need your money. Yeah, this is a guy, right? This is the guy who thinks that everything's gonna be paid for. Oh, by the way, super arrogant in the sense, did you see that he's like, I'm still waiting for my phone call from President Trump congratulating me on a victory. You're gonna be waiting a while.

SPEAKER_03: 33:27

You're gonna you're gonna long wait, buddy. You've got a long wait. Any phone call you get, you're not gonna, you're gonna wish you didn't get it. I can guarantee that. So, funny thing, I I just saw um earlier today, I think it was, and I I meant to say that I didn't say that, I'm sorry guys, but uh apparently I think it was Don Lemon uh was surprised. This was the headline. He was he was surprised at the change in tone of Mom Dani, who was always so cheerful and pleasant and optimistic and positive and nice on the campaign trail. And Nathan won his his um his speech was not very nice and loving and welcoming, and he was so surprised by that.

SPEAKER_04: 34:06

That's because Don Laman is an idiot. He's an idiot.

SPEAKER_03: 34:10

Idiot, yeah. He's a pure idiot. Um we do we do have uh not the whole speech, but we have enough of the speech just to kind of give you the vibe, the idea of who and what this guy's about.

SPEAKER_00: 34:20

Ready here it is. About what this new age will deliver and for whom?

SPEAKER_03: 34:52

For whom, exactly. Who is that gonna be for? Uh by the way, he was quoting like a communist jihadist from India who you know just handed it all over to Hamas, basically. So, yeah, that's who he was quoting in his speech, not uh as the quote, you couldn't see it. I'm gonna enlarge everybody. Uh, you know, not Lincoln, not uh, you know, Jefferson, no, no, um a communist. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 35:17

Listen, I I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sugarcoat this. Um in our and our audiences, you know, they are who they are and they and they believe, you know, for the most part in everything that we believe in. I will tell you that what New York just did was an insult. The city itself, by voting him in, was an insult to uh this entire nation, specifically to an entire generation of warriors who uh defended her after 9-11. Uh the entire sentiment of never forget, we will never forget, New York proved itself to be uh uh a second-class city. They are not the big apple, they are not, you know, the city of lights, they are not a shining beacon of any kind. Uh, they are uh uh untrustworthy, they are two-faced, they are shallow, they are greedy. That city has embarrassed all of us by electing uh a jihadist, an Islamist, a communist, and a man who stands for everything against America. Everything in his belief system is anti-American, it's anti-constitutional, it's anti-everything about America, everything. And New York put him in office. And New York, I I hate to say this because I really don't ever want it to get to this. You said it, you reap what you sow. New York City is gonna burn. Uh it is, and there is gonna be such destruction in the next few years as a result of this guy. Uh, because I know the governor has said he's made a lot of promises, and there's a lot of promises he's made that he he can't enforce. But what he can do is allow the city to go to ruins because that's what he wants. He wants that city to go to ruins, he wants the rule of law to fall apart so he can replace it with Sharia law. That is the plan, folks. He he wants that to happen. There can be a shell of a NYPD, there can be a shell of public services, but what he wants is a is shadow governments, neighborhood contingencies to rise up and police themselves outside of American law, uh, because that's what he wants. This is step one in the Islamic takeover of the United States. And I will tell you that it is going to fail miserably because there are too many non-Muslims in the in in New York City. Um, but it's uh this is catastrophic. It really, really is.

SPEAKER_03: 37:41

It is, it is, it makes me sad and and more than sad, it makes me so angry, so angry that it this has been allowed to get to this point. Uh blows my mind. Uh, I will very sarcastically applaud them for you know for developing and executing a campaign against America so successfully. Uh, you know, slow clap for you because you did a good job in those areas. You you you accomplished those goals with the compliance of foolish Americans, ideological idiots, really. And I and I mean that uh from the bottom of my heart. I think you people who cheered this on and are applauding it, you 18 to 29-year-old women, I think you are the idiots of the universe. And I am disgusted with all of you for being so foolish, for being so incredibly foolish, and not knowing history and not knowing what has been going on in the rest of the world. Put down your damn soy latte, put down the bottle of blue freaking hair dye and wake the hell up. Ross can't stand it.

SPEAKER_04: 38:59

And again, in another election cycle, complicit because of media support. Yes. We're gonna talk about President Trump on 60 minutes. But I will say this there is an article out there, an editorial by the Wall Street Journal who is talking about the threat that Mam Dani is to New York and to the business of the United States. So we have a media outlet that traditionally has not been necessarily all that objective, being very, very honest about what just happened in New York.

SPEAKER_03: 39:31

So and there's actually I I I saw um I I'm not a fan, obviously. This shouldn't go without saying, but uh Deborah Messing, she's an actress, uh very right, very outspoken liberal actress, uh, you know, another one that can't stand Trump. Surprise, surprise. Uh she has been uh all of a sudden very vocal, vocally against Trump. Yes, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 39:52

Michael Rappaport, if you guys haven't been Michael Rappaport, who was very like threatened to beat up Trump in a very literally way, right? Uh and is a super, super supporter of President Trump and is very anti-Hollywood right now and all of his compatriots. So there's a there's a movement going on, and this is more of the same. But yeah, I saw the Deborah Messing thing too.

SPEAKER_03: 40:15

Yep, yeah, and we'll see we'll see more of it. We'll see more of that.

SPEAKER_04: 40:18

Let's talk to President Trump in 60 minutes. Let's talk about it.

SPEAKER_03: 40:20

Yes. I I did not watch it. I did not watch it. It's it's on my two watch list of things.

SPEAKER_04: 40:26

So they were he gave them 90 minutes, and I think they said that the total recorded time was like 67 minutes, which is available. I I think an unedited version is out there. I think President Trump actually put it out, but what was on 60 minutes itself was about I think it's just over 30 minutes. Am I right on that? I think so.

SPEAKER_03: 40:49

I'm looking at my notes here. I don't know if I have them many minutes, but yeah, it was definitely not 60 minutes.

SPEAKER_04: 40:54

No, and it was very edited. Yeah, it's very, very edited, and it was um what's her name? That she ran the uh the lady that interviewed him is the same one who ran one of the debates with uh oh yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 41:07

Uh it's gonna come to me at like three o'clock in the morning and people will tell you.

SPEAKER_04: 41:11

And she did a horrible job again. Of course she did.

SPEAKER_03: 41:13

It was I don't understand how these women like I listen, I'm not even saying that I could do it better, but actually I think I might be saying I could do it better.

SPEAKER_04: 41:20

He was on his game, though. I I get press, you know, President Trump is is uh, you know, he's obviously very uh very quick on his feet. He's super intelligent, and and he has he's great in an interview. Um, but he was really on his game. Um and he really kept her at bay. He put her in her place a couple of times. She asked very specific questions about China, about Taiwan. Um, she asked very specific questions, you know, about um narco-terrorism, some other things, and and she really actually directly asked President Trump to reveal what he would why he hasn't said publicly that we would back Taiwan if China attacked, or why we wouldn't do specific things. And he looked at him and he goes, I'm I'm not telling you anything, like I'm not revealing any secrets to you. I you know, I have no you're a reporter, I have no obligation to tell you that. I'm not I'm the president, I'm not telling you what our war plans are. But he was very blunt about it, uh, which was he didn't tap dance around anything, which was great.

SPEAKER_03: 42:21

Good. You he can't he can't with them. He had, you know, and obviously, obviously, he has learned that uh from vast experience and dealing with them that you know you have to give them the most blunt, direct, uh not ambiguous answers you can possibly give. And you know, it is crazy the audacity that they have, though, right? Like that they think like you you think you're entitled to that kind of information. Who are you? Like, who do you even think you are?

SPEAKER_04: 42:48

Perfect words. Yeah, because that's exactly what it is, is entitled.

SPEAKER_05: 42:54

So entitled.

SPEAKER_04: 42:55

Yeah, but it was it was a good, you know, it was a good interview, it was good for President Trump. Um, I didn't realize it had been that long, you know, since he had been on 60 Minutes.

SPEAKER_03: 43:04

How long has it been? It's been a long time.

SPEAKER_04: 43:06

Over five years. Oh, okay. Really? So yeah, so I I I know that he obviously had some issues with them, but he he didn't, you know, and I know that you know the Kamala Harris edited interview, we all familiar with that from the campaign, the election cycle, but he didn't do a single interview with 60 minutes from the time that he left office through the entire campaign and all the way up until now. Um, he hasn't hasn't been on there at all. Um, but you know, he did great, as he always does, but they did edit it, and there have been people who've done some like here's here's what he said, and here's where they cut it off, and here's the rest of the story where they manipulated, they didn't change what he said, but they changed the context of it in their editing. Um and and it's again, it's very apparent that they're doing what they do. And yeah, oh absolutely.

SPEAKER_03: 43:57

Well, we knew they wouldn't learn anything from you know from the past mistakes and or from uh who is it, CBS? Yeah, what was that like 60 million videos? Yeah, um, you know, so they probably are just they probably you can just picture them sitting back there in that editing room, like, all right, so how can we do this exactly so that we don't write?

SPEAKER_06: 44:14

100% agree with you.

SPEAKER_03: 44:15

Like they're like, so here's here's the where's my hand? Here it is. So here's the line. Let's get like right there, like right to the hair's breadth of it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 44:26

And they again, they didn't alter anything he said, but by eliminating, they changed the context, right? Um there was one controversial, well, there's a lot of controversial, but one of the controversial things they talked about, they asked him about a pardon that he gave to a crypto guy who got convicted underneath the Biden administration, and he gave the guy a pardon. And she asked him, and he goes, Listen, I'll be honest with you, I don't even know who the guy is. So and he and what he said was, I was told that it was a witch hunt from the Biden administration, he got some you know, stupid, horrible, overdone um sentence, and I pardoned him. Um, and so you know, CBS turned around and they put this picture up because the two Trump boys were supposedly affiliated with the crypto that this guy was involved in. Oh, I see. Well, in a masterclass of President Trump, what he basically put everybody in the corner is saying, because they came after him right away. Like all everybody afterwards was like, um, you know, well, how could he not know? How could you know they're blaming Biden for the auto pen and he's signing off on pardons because he didn't know who you didn't even know who the guy was. And it's like, okay, well, you either have to say it's okay that he didn't know the guy so that you can defend the auto pen. Right. You know what I mean? Yes, you're right, brilliant, yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 45:48

Or he puts him in those corners all the time, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 45:52

Or they have to admit that he's he's failing mentally, or he's he's this, or he's signing things that he doesn't even know what he's signing, and that's bad. Well, yeah, okay, so's the auto pen. Okay, brilliantly painted him in painted people into a corner on that specific topic, and truthfully, 60 minutes walked into it because they asked the question.

SPEAKER_03: 46:10

Right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Well, good on him, you know. I uh again, and and I know um uh vice president uh Vance recently did not an interview, but uh stood up there and took like, I don't know if it was like an hour's worth of questions, but it was a long period of time where he just stood up at the podium, took all of these questions, and not just nice, you know, friendly qu not not the um spoon-fed questions that you know the team like uh Biden's people did, the the cherry-picked questions, and they were told what to ask. He took questions from a hostile, hostile crowd, and he stayed up there and he took them all. And this administration has done this consistently over and over again, on the fly, scheduled, planned, not planned, walk into the the plane, getting off the plane, walking down the street, you know, whatever. They they take these questions off the cuff all the time and they answer them every time. Not with the I'll have to look into that or I'll have to circle back to that, or they answer the questions every time. So they they are doing um you know much more in that regard, in every regard than past presidents, especially the last uh clown show. So yeah, good on him.

SPEAKER_04: 47:29

And uh and we know one of those topics is the current employment of our military and some of the things that we're doing with them. And so, you know, we've got the discussion. We'll we'll talk both of these, but we'll talk South America first because it expands into oh, by the way, the UN said we have to stop blowing up drug boats, and pretty much I'm I'm promising you that sex state, sec war president, vice president are all going to tell the UN we don't work for you and go away. Um so but but there's discussion about the expansion of those operations into potential ground operations in Mexico and potentially into Venezuela, um, with CIA special operations, et cetera, beyond just what's going on um with the with the boats. Now, you know, are we okay with this? Um I would tell you that, you know, we can blow up boats all day long, and it does put a significant dent along with securing the border, um, but that amps up the violence in other places. So there was just a mayor in Mexico that was murdered by the cartel. Um, you know, and and these are the things that are going to continue to happen. So there's discussion about how far we want to expand in this. Um, I would tell you that everybody who thinks that we don't know who's out who and what are on those boats are fooling themselves because we know exactly who and what's on those boats. Right. Um, but the expansion into ground operations inside of Mexico and and other places in South America, now you're potentially putting, you know, um soldiers and intelligence officers at risk. Um, you know, and and so that amps things up a little bit. That all has to be done with support and endorsement from those nations where we're operating. I don't think we would ever walk into Mexico uh heavy-handed and say, hey, we're we're gonna fix this, um, etc. Now, Africa is interesting because Africa, as we talked about, is about stopping the genocide of Christians in Nigeria. And President Trump himself said, We're not gonna allow this to happen. Like, this is gonna stop. And you know who we got endorsement from? Did you see this? Nicki Minaj of I. I did.

SPEAKER_03: 49:38

I saw that. I saw that. That was amazing. Yeah, that was unexpected. I I actually scrolled past and then I went back in. I'm like, wait, what am I reading here? Yeah, it's crazy.

SPEAKER_04: 49:48

Right? So, and and there are people who do not endorse this because they say we've never gone to war on behalf of protecting another religion, um, which I'm pretty sure the end of World War II was really all about protecting like, you know, like yeah, kinda sorta, kinda sorta, maybe definitely. Yeah. Um but it this is not about Christians, this is not about this is about genocide, right? Okay, and and you can make it a religious thing just as much as you want to make it a race thing, you can make it whatever you want. But the reality is it is genocide. We, the United States, along with the United Nations and NATO, have turned a blind eye to many atrocities in Africa, right? And it's and and really over the last 20 years, we've done it mostly because China owns most of Africa, whether people know it or not. Um, we have been very, very cautious about what we do and where we do it inside of the continent because of China's presence there. This President Trump has made no bones about it. He doesn't care if this is a genocide going on, he has no problem putting folks on the ground to stop this from happening. And I, for one, am fully in support of this. I assume you are on that train.

SPEAKER_03: 51:03

Let me let me think about that. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. I was so on board for that. And um, it's you know, the atrocities that are happening over there in other places. I'm sorry, guys, I my voice just decided that it didn't want to cooperate for the rest of the show here, so bear with me. Um yeah, the atrocities that are happening over there and in other places as well, uh, it is horrifying. And we're so far removed from it. You know, it it's like um, you know, it's like watching a movie, it's like watching a show, it's like reading something. It's it's all of the things that it actually is. Because we are not there, because we don't see it, because we don't hear about it constantly, um, we can get very, I don't know, uh immune to having a heart for that. And uh it I think if you take the time to really understand what's happening over there, uh, this is the only right thing to do. You know, and we talk about, or I'll I'll go with the left again, you know, they talk about this humanitarian uh, you know, desire to help. Like there, of course, that their thing is Palestine, you know, to this is what they say. Children are starving, terrible things are happening, people are dying, they're this and that. There are atrocities happening in other places in the world as well. Where is your heart for that? Like, is it because is it because oh is it because they're Christians that we don't care about that? Is that is that the deal?

SPEAKER_06: 52:25

Like, we're exactly right.

unknown: 52:27

Yep.

SPEAKER_03: 52:28

So, you know, pardon me for not really even giving a moment's thought to or or paying a moment's attention to their blustering over their distaste for that.

SPEAKER_04: 52:39

They can, you know, in my very and listen, folks, you you know, I think you guys probably know me well enough now. I I am not one to advocate for this kind of stuff. I am not I am not based on my own experience and all the stuff that I did, I am not one who goes looking to put young Americans in harm's way. However, this is a humanitarian cause. Um, these are the things that our American military should be doing, um, and we should be getting in front of this. Like this should have been stopped a while ago, my personal opinion. Um and and so these are the things that I am on board with, and I think that we collectively as a nation, if there's a genocide, like these are the things that we step in the middle of and we we employ our military to put a stop to. So um, I'm not I'm not looking to start a fight, but these are the fights, these are the things that we need to end. Um, and and that's I think where we we need to sit. However, um we did have a pretty notorious individual pass away this past week.

SPEAKER_03: 53:39

Yes, the notorious Cheney. Yeah, I you know, so I I have to I have to confess, uh, I I the day that we were kind of going back and forth a little bit on the topics, um, I had not I hadn't looked at my computer, I hadn't looked at my social media. I did not know that he passed away until you texted me and told me that. And I was like, oh yeah, oh wait, wow, okay. And I'm like, oh, let me go find that. Let me go over on X and see what they're saying. But uh yeah, so I I I was very late to uh to knowing that. The rest of the world was ahead of me on that one. Um go ahead, talk about because I was asking Clay beforehand, like I was trying to remember, I'll confess, guys, I couldn't remember right. I knew he left a bad taste in people's mouths, and I honestly could not remember why. Don't don't come for me, guys. So go ahead. So I know some there's a gotta be at least one person out there, also, that's like, yeah, I don't remember either.

SPEAKER_04: 54:34

So it's been a while. Listen, uh, you know, he was he was vice president for you know Bush 2. Um, so he was vice president on 9-11. Uh and and obviously his time in office ended way back in 2008. So uh it's it's been a minute since he's been in office. Um, so Dick Chaney, you know, was a lifelong in-government kind of guy. Um, and so he's he's known in his late stages of of political influence for two two things, his time as vice president. Uh one is he shot someone.

SPEAKER_03: 55:06

So I do remember that.

SPEAKER_04: 55:08

Thankfully, that individual survived, but there was a bird hunting incident where Vice President Shaney shot another hunter in the face with some bird shot. Uh it was a bad look, uh, obviously.

SPEAKER_06: 55:20

Sorry.

unknown: 55:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 55:21

Um, so that that's not good. But also, the probably the biggest thing is that he was one of the biggest, if not potentially the biggest, advocate for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 based on the flawed intel WMDs. Um and and, oh, by the way, partial owner of a services contracting company that supported both efforts in both Iraq and Afghanistan for the entirety of our existence there. Um, so he he's been known as a war profiteer, a war monger, in the sense of that he knew that he would profit off of U.S. forces being deployed to the Middle East, and and he did. Um so um his uh, you know, his if you are a uh Iraq or Afghanistan veteran and you spent any time at any of the big bases, you know Kerry Brown and Root because they provided all the chow halls for all of us, uh any big base you ever passed through or went to. Um, and that's you know part of part of Dick Cheney's legacy. Um but he was known as a warmonger and a war profiteer, and and it left a lot of bad taste in people's mouths. He also was not in private, supposedly was was a personable guy, um, but in public was very much not a personable guy.

SPEAKER_03: 56:32

No, all I can remember of him of just that that sour, angry look on his face all the time, which I I have I have to be so weird. I have such an affection for cranky old men. So it just I I actually liked that about him. I liked his you know miserable, pouty, cranky face, but uh I think I'm I think I might be alone in that.

SPEAKER_04: 56:56

He also he also in late stages turned his back on the on the Republican Party. Um he did not uh he was not a president a fan of President Trump at all, um and really turned his back on on the President Trump, the MAGA effort. Um he is also the father of Liz Cheney, so you know, guilt by association there as well.

SPEAKER_03: 57:16

A lot of strikes against him.

SPEAKER_04: 57:18

The only one I'm gonna give him is this cranky face that I like that there's a life, uh a lifetime, very many years of government service, uh whether you like him or not. Um he did, you know, try to contribute to the nation. Did he profit off of it? You could argue that he did. Um, but he did spend a lot of time uh, you know, in the the you know, the service of the nation. So um not all bad, no matter what anybody says. So rest in peace.

SPEAKER_03: 57:43

Yes, vice president. I was just gonna say we will choose to to honor the the good good parts of his legacy and uh and honor the office uh for which he represented and um sympathies to his family and uh his loved ones and and all of that. So yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, it's a historical political figure who's passed away. You gotta acknowledge that, of course. Um, let's talk about somebody, our last one, our last one. So I've railed on this guy in many videos. Many times I have talked about him, and there have been, I wouldn't call it defending him, but there has been, you know, there's always, we all know the memes that go around. And I I have this long-standing habit now, or long-ish standing habit now, of every time I come across a meme that is giving supposed factual information, I I research it. How do I research it? I run it through chat. I check, you know, I'll even check Google, but I'll like cross-re do a lot of cross-referencing to find the actual truth somewhere. Um, so one of the ones was uh, I I think it was like his uh I can't remember what statement was. I will find it for you guys, but there was some statement that he was uh reported as saying, and I was like, I don't know, is that true? Because I really want to share this so I can beat him up for it. And uh it turned out it was it was not a statement that he had ever made. So guys, just be just be careful with these things. Like just research them, just research them and make sure it's true because I don't want to be feeling stupid. So and not none of us should want to feel stupid, right? But this is this here is is truth, it is fact, it is multi-checked and confirmed by many, many sources. He has um kind of stepped back from his long-standing claim that you know we're all gonna die from climate change. You're all gonna die. But you know, and every I love how they all move the goalposts. You know, you've got uh what's his name? Um Al Gore, you've got, of course, uh uh Greta. Uh there's been plenty of other ones too, but you know, the man wants to tell you like in 10 years, we're all gonna be dead. In 12 years, we're gonna be all dead. Well, no, I mean like 12 years from starting now. Yeah, but this is interesting because this is a guy who has you know profited. I think you have the number.

SPEAKER_04: 1:00:00

Right, you you know, summers they make profit tremendously from the lot of money, investment money off of things associated with climate change. And so, in the second and third order effects of this, as he has backed away from this, there are a lot of things happening very, very quickly in that you're starting to see like New Jersey had the offshore wind farm investment that's going on. Like they're putting windmills out, you know, uh offshore in the ocean. Like there are major investors, major corporate investors backing away from this now because they realize that climate change isn't what it was, and the trying to put in all of these wind farms and everything else is based on all, you know, mock science, hopeum, whatever you want to call it. Um, so you know, everybody, when you've got a name like Bill Gates and you change your position on something as significant as climate change, um, everybody takes a pause and they reevaluate uh because they look at it not scientifically, they look at it economically, and that's what's happening now. So there's some backlash going on, all of the money that he made off of climate change. Um, people are now rethinking their investment in climate change. And listen, Bill Casey's got enough money, he doesn't care. He's made his money. He probably he probably quietly walked away from climate change investment uh a while before he ever said anything.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:20

Oh, guaranteed, guaranteed.

SPEAKER_04: 1:01:22

And now everybody else is gonna suffer uh based on his change of position. So it's just very interesting, folks, that uh science is not always science. Sometimes it's about money. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:32

I I would say, yeah, I was just gonna say, I I think um most of the time there's you know, I love, I love the whole believe the science crowd, they're my favorite. Like you mean the you mean the science that paid off Coca-Cola to, you know, the science that paid off the cigarette companies, or I'm sorry, reverse that, please. The companies that paid off the science. You know, um yeah. Like, come on now, science can be bought. You sure can and and it has been time and time and time and time and time again over history. So be discerning people. And listen, I don't want to tell you I told you so, but I told you so. I mean, so many people have been saying this for so long. Like this whole, you know, you they keep again, they move the goalposts so many time that it suits them, they move the goalposts. Remember, and they try and deny this too. It was originally global cooling. We were gonna freeze to death, you know, everything was gonna turn into a polar, you know, whatever vortex. I don't know. And then that was like, oops, just kidding, just kidding. We didn't we didn't mean global cooling, we mean like global warming. It's getting so hot, we're all gonna boil up and die from that. And you know, the polar bears are gonna starve to death. And by the way, that whole image, uh, that polar bear floating on the the block of ice was like a whole other thing than what they portrayed as surprise. The media lied to you, they manipulated something. What never happens? Never happens. Oh, so yes, um, I I just you know, two things I I'm enjoying, and I mean that sarcastically, really watching uh or will enjoy uh the left and the the climate crazies now figuring out how to backpedal and save face, right? Because now their their leader is backpedaling on this and stepping away from it. So now they have to. Next, I wonder what's his new angle, you know. Like my notes say, you know, that Gates now emphasizes innovation, adoption, human flourishing overdue. Oh, his yeah, it's gotta be his uh farms with his fake meat, right? Isn't that like, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 1:03:37

It's some it's economic, whatever.

SPEAKER_03: 1:03:40

He's just gonna shift to whatever the next big money-making scam is, and then that will be you know the big thing, and all of the little minions will will just pivot right with them and be like, oh no, we're doing this. No, this is the most important thing to me. I'm so glad we are in such a discerning thinking crowd and not the other one. I love you guys so much because I think you keep me sane and not like going over the edge of contempt and disgust and outrage at how stupid and gullible and ridiculous people are. So thank you guys. Thank you, thank you, Clay. Clay always talks me down, Clay talks me off the ledge of getting angry, and I say all this and I do get fired up, and then there's that flip side of me that's like, you know what? I'm just gonna stay kingdom-minded here. I'm gonna try and be a good steward of of you know all that I'm supposed to do on this earth and this life, and I'm gonna do that. Um, but I'm not gonna let myself get so immersed in it that it makes me crazy. Refocus, just refocus. So yeah. But yeah, I thought I thought that was a good one to talk about. A good one if you guys hadn't heard it. Um, now you know that he has pivoted to the next big thing, so we can all watch together what the next thing is gonna be. I I think his um I think his fake meat thing it has failed or is failing.

SPEAKER_04: 1:05:09

Like this will states states are already outlawing it. Um it's there will be some. There will be some that say your usual suspects, you know, Washington State, Oregon, you know, the West Coast, California. You'll probably have some on the east coast as well. But you know, in the northeast specifically, but the rest of the country is they're not buying it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:05:32

Yeah, thank goodness. Thank goodness people are waking up. So yeah, I mean, that's all we got. That was a great show. That was a lot of good stuff. Only started losing it towards the end. I think I stayed pretty calm throughout, right? You stay calm, I stay calm. We're all calm.

SPEAKER_05: 1:05:48

We're trying.

SPEAKER_03: 1:05:49

We're trying, man.

Gangs armed like soldiers, a shadowy enemy rising from the past, and one man who refuses to stand down. From the quiet suburbs to the doors of Lake Michigan, Terry Davis will risk everything to protect. Lake Novac explosive.
