2:16
So with that being said, I thank everybody for coming back day after day,
2:22
third year doing the podcast.
2:24
let's get to it. So starting with Iran, where are we at? First off, let's talk about Iran and
2:33
their leadership. Now, as far as the conflict goes, some will say Iran has been winning.
2:37
Some will say that the USA has been winning. Bottom line is it doesn't really seem there's
2:43
a clear winner in this conflict either way. Furthermore, we don't even know who's in charge
2:48
with Iran. The de facto leader, actually the supreme leader that was appointed just this
2:55
March has been missing. No one has seen him. Mushtaba Khamenei. No one's seen him. No one's
3:01
seen him. It is said that he was injured, disfigured. Supposedly Russia offered to
3:09
bring him over into Russia for medical attention. And any messages that have been put out there
3:16
said to be on behalf of the Supreme Leader himself
3:20
has been read, read by another person.
3:22
We have no idea where Mustafa Khomeini is.
3:26
We have no idea where he's at.
3:28
We don't even know if he exists.
3:29
At this point, it's probably easy to come to the conclusion
3:35
that they're hiding the fact that he could absolutely be dead,
3:39
maybe even in a coma.
3:40
the only thing that
3:43
the only thing that allows me to say that he's not dead
3:46
is that if he was dead
3:47
I'm not sure how easy it would be to hide that
3:51
but then again
3:51
then again
3:52
they very well could be
3:54
the Islamic regime could very well hiding this fact
3:57
because
3:58
announcing he isn't dead
4:01
or even in a coma for example
4:02
see the rhetoric being pushed is
4:04
he's being hidden
4:06
remotely for his own protection
4:07
and in doing so
4:10
that he's still healthy, still out there, still the de facto leader,
4:14
will only further bolster those who have total fanatical,
4:21
zealot-like support for the Islamic regime.
4:28
So again, where is he?
4:30
Well, according to reports, it says here that,
4:37
and of course being asked, which is what I just asked earlier,
4:40
Where is Iran's supreme leader?
4:41
Where is Mostaba Khamenei?
4:43
Nobody knows.
4:44
A Russian envoy has revealed that he is alive and well and is actually in Iran.
4:51
Interesting.
4:52
Now, if he is in Iran, why haven't we seen him even on Russian state media?
4:59
Why haven't we seen his likeness on video?
5:02
He doesn't have to be physically present and put himself in harm's way to transmit a broadcast.
5:09
and give a message to his people.
5:11
Yet to this day, we haven't even seen that.
5:15
And so this brings up another concern for the Iranian leadership.
5:23
So now let's enter the other issue that may be going on,
5:29
the power shift, the possible power shift here
5:31
between Moshe Bahamini and the IRGC.
5:35
See, the IRGC has been reported to have taken de facto control of Iran's leadership and governance.
5:44
This is a very important development, if true, because the IRGC has been sidelining Iran's president,
5:54
has been making decisions from a governmental point of view.
5:59
and as far as that is also concerned,
6:03
it is said that they have been keeping reports away
6:06
from their supreme leader, Moshtaba Khomeini.
6:10
So if this is all very true,
6:13
this is evident that there may very well be
6:16
a power struggle,
6:19
one that is not being made public,
6:22
a struggle between the IRGC and the Islamic regime.
6:25
the interesting thing there is the IRGC has always been there to uphold
6:33
the values of the Islamic regime
6:37
their de facto power over Iran
6:42
their leadership
6:43
the IRGC was like the royal guard so to speak
6:47
the protectorate of the Islamic regime
6:49
but now they're playing more of a role in governance of Iran
6:54
making the decisions, not just enforcing policy, but also making governmental decisions.
7:03
I did an AI overview here. I'm going to go ahead and pull that up. So here's a little bit of an AI
7:09
summary on what's going on here. So here's some key developments. I'm just reading this straight
7:14
from the summary. Political deadlock. The IRGC has reportedly blocked presidential appointments
7:19
and executive decisions, including attempts to nominate a new intelligence minister.
7:25
The military council rule.
7:28
A military council of senior IRGC officers is now exercising control over central decision making.
7:36
What about leadership isolation?
7:39
Well, the IRGC has established a strict security cordon around the new supreme leader.
7:45
Now, of course, this is what's being reported and said, but thus far, we haven't even seen that the new Supreme Leader is alive or conscious.
7:53
We don't know if he exists at all at this moment.
7:58
But again, it goes on to read that he has not been seen in public since his appointment in March of 2026.
8:06
And then there's the sidelining of civilian authorities.
8:10
So there's reports that indicate the IRGC is preventing government updates from reaching the Supreme Leader's office, further consolidating military influence over the state of affairs.
8:22
So it seems like there is an actual power struggle and the IRGC is winning because the Islamic regime themselves, they can't really do anything.
8:30
I mean, they're just de facto leaders.
8:32
The IRGC is a militant arm of the Islamic regime.
8:37
And then now this calls into question in this untold power struggle,
8:44
but what of the Iranian army?
8:46
How is this going to play out between the IRGC and the Iranian army?
8:51
Well, first let's define the differences here between the IRGC and the Iranian army.
8:57
I got another overview here that's going to help us out.
9:01
So the IRGC versus the Iran military.
9:04
So what's the difference here?
9:05
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, known as the IRGC, and the Iranian Army, or the Artej,
9:12
are separate, often competing military structures in Iran.
9:16
The IRGC protects the Islamic regime's ideology and oversees missile programs,
9:21
foreign operations with higher funding, while the army focuses on traditional national defense.
9:28
The IRGC is considered more powerful, handling asymmetric warfare, and commanding the Basij militia.
9:35
So the IRGC versus the Iran army or the Artesh comparison.
9:39
So the role in mandates, the IRGC protects the 1979 Islamic revolution and the regime,
9:47
the Artesh, protects national sovereignty and territorial borders.
9:52
So the actual Iranian army protects its borders and actual national sovereignty when it comes
9:59
to any ground conflict, especially anybody that's encroaching on Iran itself.
10:05
structure and power.
10:07
So the IRGC is an elite, well-funded force
10:11
with immense political influence,
10:14
a vast business empire,
10:16
and oversees missile and foreign operations
10:19
via their KUDS force.
10:21
The army is a conventional larger military
10:24
and mostly draftees.
10:27
So very important here to distinguish
10:28
that out the gate, the IRGC is a little bit more
10:31
than just a militant or military wing.
10:34
They're very much a military wing,
10:36
but one that seems to have an interest in politics and in governance.
10:42
They have money, they have influence, they have power,
10:45
and they have a business arm that helps to keep that funding going.
10:50
So let's talk about the internal rules.
10:52
The IRGC ensures internal order, prevents internal threats to the regime.
10:57
just as we saw during the protests
11:01
where Iran killed literally 30,000 to 40,000
11:04
of its own people
11:06
for protesting against the Islamic regime,
11:10
which in and of itself wasn't violent on the protesters.
11:14
They were literally just protesting.
11:16
But the IRGC was commanded
11:19
and they very much carried out the order
11:21
to start mowing these people down
11:23
and literally extinguishing their lives
11:27
for opposing the authority of the Islamic regime.
11:32
What about the command?
11:35
Okay, the IRGC and the Artish have separate commands, obviously.
11:40
So they're ran by two different branches,
11:42
like the answer to two different authorities.
11:45
Military focus, the IRGC specializes in asymmetric warfare,
11:49
drones, and rockets,
11:51
while the army uses conventional warfare tactics.
11:55
Now, let's discuss the key differences.
11:58
So personnel and funding.
12:00
So while the army is larger,
12:02
they have approximately 350,000 members in the army, I believe.
12:07
And the IRGC has 125,000,
12:10
but it's also been reported they have 150,000.
12:13
The IRGC is just better funded.
12:14
They get way more money.
12:15
They get better technologies.
12:17
They are considered more of an elite force
12:19
over the traditional Iranian army.
12:21
They also get better recruits.
12:23
So they get more of an elite member to join the IRGC.
12:28
What about internal security?
12:30
So the IRGC often, through the Basij militia, controls internal dissent.
12:37
The army is generally focused on borders.
12:40
They're more focused on protecting the borders and the sovereignty of the actual nation,
12:44
the physical landscape of Iran.
12:48
Well the IRGC using the militias go ahead and enforce policy mostly policy that supports the Islamic regime So any dissent is meant violently and viciously It can include torture to outright public hangings
13:05
Again, the IRGC is a militant military wing in Iran of the Islamic regime,
13:17
but they have now taken control and are now taking over the decision-making
13:22
and the governance of Iran.
13:24
And yes, there is an internal rivalry.
13:27
The rivalry between the IRGC often dominates as evidenced by its control of Iran's elite military operations and its role as a key actor in economic sectors like oil and banking.
13:40
So the IRGC has already had experience in enforcing policy over its people.
13:48
They have control over drones, over missile programs.
13:54
they're the ones who conduct the asymmetric warfare.
13:58
While the army really seems more like a police force
14:01
or even just a border patrol,
14:05
yes, they are an army.
14:07
Yes, they are ground forces.
14:08
And yes, anybody who has to fight Iran on the ground
14:11
is going to have to absolutely deal with them.
14:14
But this does raise a question.
14:19
The Iranian military themselves,
14:21
the people that are part of the military,
14:22
are there to protect Iran.
14:24
While it looks like the IRGC is really out there to protect the theocracy,
14:32
the theocratic rule of the Islamic regime.
14:35
But as of late, it seems that IRGC has kind of been separating themselves
14:39
as they see an opportunity to take power.
14:42
As it's unclear what's happening with the Islamic regime as of now.
14:47
Their supreme leader is absent, is not seen.
14:51
Rumors are he's dead.
14:51
Rumors are he's in a coma.
14:53
Either way, he's not there.
14:55
He's not around.
14:56
And the presence of their actual leader is absolutely needed.
15:01
The IRGC has stepped in to take this role.
15:06
So what of the Iranian military or the actual Iranian army?
15:10
There could be, there could be with everything that's happening right now,
15:14
with the breakdown in power and control of the Islamic regime,
15:18
the disarray in leadership and governance
15:22
that the Iranian army,
15:25
while looking out for the sovereignty of Iran itself,
15:27
may very well side with the people.
15:29
This could all lead to internal conflict
15:32
and possibly even an internal civil war.
15:36
Now, take what I said as a perspective
15:40
and not necessarily as something that will happen,
15:45
but I think it's highly likely
15:47
It is highly likely that this could be the case, especially as further pressures are put on Iran through U.S.-Israel strikes.
15:59
And then a new development.
16:01
A new development in which the UAE has decided that they are going to jump in the fight.
16:10
The UAE wants to force the Strait of Hormuz open and is willing to join the fight.
16:16
Now, this comes from a Wall Street Journal article here,
16:20
presented to you by Ground News.
16:22
I had to plug that.
16:23
Let's go ahead and read some of the summary here.
16:25
So, the United Arab Emirates is lobbying the United Nations Security Council
16:29
to authorize military action to reopen the Strait of Hormuz,
16:33
making a significant strategic shift for the nation.
16:37
Iran has launched nearly 2,500 missiles and drones at the UAE
16:43
since the conflict began, with nearly 50 projectiles striking on Tuesday alone, just this last Tuesday.
16:51
So according to the Arab officials, reviewing options for mine clearing and logistical support,
16:56
the UAE is considering utilizing its military bases and the deep water port of Jabal Ali,
17:03
I hope I said that correctly, I probably didn't, but either way, to assist in reopening the critical waterway.
17:09
Bahrain is sponsoring a United Nations resolution with a vote expected Thursday, while the UAE urges European and Asian powers to form a coalition to secure the passage.
17:21
President Donald Trump urged allies to go get your own oil, influencing the UAE's proactive stance as it prepares to act even if the United Nations resolution fails.
17:33
So let's address that last statement there about what President Trump said.
17:39
There was a tweet or truth, whatever you want to call it, of President Trump basically saying,
17:45
you know what, NATO, NATO nations, you weren't there for us and our time of need, so we're
17:53
not going to be there for you either.
17:55
President Trump, and I'm summarizing, basically said, if you want your oil, you can come get
18:00
it.
18:00
We're not doing it for you.
18:03
Kind of a very bold statement.
18:07
Well, not kind of.
18:08
It actually literally is a bold statement.
18:10
It's bold and arrogant, for sure.
18:13
Being that the European nations or the NATO members themselves didn't start this conflict.
18:18
Yes, it's very true.
18:19
The United States and Israel did start this conflict.
18:22
They had the reasons.
18:23
I think they had good reasons.
18:25
But the issue that we have is people don't have the stomach
18:28
or the economic repercussions of what is happening right now.
18:33
Australian Prime Minister also released a statement addressing the nation of Australia in which he encouraged everybody to basically power through these hard times as petrol reaches insane numbers in terms of affordability and as well as scarcity.
18:54
as Australia gets much of its oil or its petrol
18:58
from the Gulf states from that region.
19:05
And so Australian Prime Minister is saying,
19:09
look, let's stand together as a nation.
19:11
Let's get through this.
19:13
Go on about your lives, fill up your cars,
19:15
do what you got to do, but let's not be greedy.
19:17
Let's not stock up on gas and put it in our garages, etc.
19:21
Let's work together.
19:22
and again they have made it very clear that they aren't part of this fight they didn't want to be
19:28
either they don't support it but they're going to do everything they can to get through it economically
19:32
other nations have addressed their people saying very similar things
19:37
and in a turn of events which seems like a turn of events
19:41
it's said that president trump has told reuters that he may be pulling out swiftly of the conflict
19:50
but leaves options open for further strikes,
19:53
which in and of itself is a conflicting message.
19:56
Now, this also comes off the heels of reports of Iran
20:00
stating that they want a ceasefire.
20:02
Some are saying this isn't correct and it's false reporting,
20:06
but it does seem to correlate with President Trump's recent message
20:11
of wanting to get out of the region quickly,
20:13
but also at the same time,
20:17
Trump saying that he does leave it open for strikes,
20:21
What does this actually mean?
20:22
Well, I think that given that there's not a strong leadership in Iran right now,
20:27
and they are, well, they are flailing.
20:30
Do they have weapons?
20:31
Yes.
20:31
Do they have munitions?
20:32
Absolutely.
20:32
Do they have rockets?
20:33
Yes.
20:34
But it doesn't mean they have leadership.
20:36
Without leadership, I don't think they're going to last.
20:40
And I think Iran's looking to regroup and maybe even possibly make a deal with the United
20:45
States of America.
20:46
Trump definitely wants to make a deal.
20:50
As much as Trump may be perceived as being crazy,
20:54
his foreign policy to date,
20:56
he has achieved just about everything that he has said he would.
20:59
Some will call this conflict of the run a fail, though.
21:03
Why?
21:03
Well, we don't know what the actual clearly defined mission is.
21:07
We do know that the Islamic regime has to be stamped out.
21:11
In my opinion, this is my opinion, they must be eradicated.
21:16
They have committed many atrocities.
21:18
And it's funny to me that the rest of the world will tolerate such an evil regime for the sake of that good old black gold, as we call it, or oil.
21:28
All for the sake of oil.
21:30
All for the sake of the global economy.
21:32
But if that oil wasn't available or ever was available, I would argue that all the other nations would get it somewhere else.
21:39
And so this also brings in another option.
21:43
One we haven't seen.
21:44
One, a play that maybe Donald Trump has been using this whole time.
21:50
Maybe this is the card that he's been holding close to his chest.
21:54
See, with all this disruption, and if Iran's oil is further sanctioned
22:02
and no longer made available, if the Strait of Hormuz is to remain closed,
22:07
even though the UAE wants to reopen it swiftly, and of course they do
22:11
because they want to sell their own oil.
22:12
the U.S. steps in now
22:16
we could
22:17
the USA could absolutely be a major supplier
22:19
to the world
22:20
we overproduce
22:21
the USA doesn't even come close to
22:23
consuming all the oil
22:25
it does produce or even could produce
22:27
and let's not forget
22:28
that with the removal of Maduro
22:31
the United States has made inroads
22:33
and new relationships with Venezuela
22:36
we will process their oil
22:38
we have the processing facilities there now
22:40
so the United States is in a unique position
22:45
what may look like a fail to the rest of the world
22:47
is actually going to turn out to be a positive
22:49
for the United States of America itself
22:51
depending how Trump has the ability to
22:55
and also the willingness to play this particular card
22:59
regardless if we're talking about the Islamic regime
23:03
my opinion is why stop
23:07
I don't think evil should be tolerated.
23:11
Not to this level.
23:12
You see, I think it's funny that the rest of the world is willing to tolerate an evil regime like the Islamic regime.
23:19
They're willing to tolerate their evil existence.
23:22
All the atrocities they've committed throughout their 47 years of existence and power.
23:27
Why? Because of the oil.
23:29
Because of the powers that be their pocketbooks, right?
23:33
But then they're also willing to turn a blind eye to all the atrocities in, for example,
23:38
Nigeria, where Christians are being hunted down and persecuted by extreme Islamists,
23:45
by other extreme Muslims.
23:48
Nobody wants to tackle that situation.
23:50
Why?
23:51
Well, Nigeria doesn't hurt anybody's pocketbooks.
23:53
There's nothing that Nigeria offers to this moment that's going to halt the global economy.
24:00
But when it comes to Iran, the only reason anyone opposes what the U.S. is doing, if we're actually being honest with ourselves, and I do mean being honest, like, come on, be honest. You only care because your gas costs more. And if it wasn't for that, you'd be all for it. There's no reason the Islamic regime needs to exist. They have not benefited the Middle East in any way whatsoever.
24:26
whatsoever. And nobody can provide evidence of the benefit of the existence of the Islamic regime.
24:33
Nobody. We're talking about a regime that kills its own people, kills its own Olympic athletes
24:40
for having a different view for what's considered to be a protest or an affront to the Islamic regime.
24:48
We just had an Olympic wrestler, Iranian Olympic wrestler, hanged publicly after performing in the Olympics for protesting.
25:00
Previous to that, a few years ago, I think it was a few years ago or whatnot, there was another Olympic wrestler that was killed.
25:07
But the charges were allegedly that he killed Iranian police.
25:13
But again, that was also related to a protest event.
25:18
We have Olympic soccer players, female soccer players, who have reported on various shows, I believe one of them was even on Piers Morgan, stating that they are forced to go on Iranian state TV to show their full undying support for the Islamic regime and the Islamic regime's way of life and living in Iran.
25:41
Most of what you see for the support of the Islamic regime is fake, fabricated, and forced
25:48
under threat of death and torture.
25:51
Does the Islamic regime have their supporters?
25:53
Absolutely do.
25:55
Yes they do Yes There always someone who supports evil They always out there because to some degree that evil benefits their life So where are we at with this conflict Now look I just
26:08
espoused a bunch of my opinions, but I have a feeling that most people feel the same way I do.
26:13
They just don't want to say it. I say these guys need to be hunted down like we hunted down the
26:19
Nazis. And what does that mean? That means that the whole world needs to come together. They need
26:25
to be on the same page and they need to treat the Islamic regime just like the world treated
26:29
the Nazis. They need to make it uncomfortable for them no matter where they go. It's not cool.
26:35
It's not okay to say that you're a part of the Islamic regime. It's not cool to act as if you're
26:40
a part of the Islamic regime. It's not cool to support them whatsoever. We need to go after them
26:45
just like we went after the Nazis. They were being chased into their 90s and brought to trial to still
26:50
face justice, even though they were very close to probably being on their deathbed.
26:56
That's how we need to treat these people.
26:58
The Islamic regime needs to go, and it needs to be made very clear that this sort of regime
27:05
will never be tolerated.
27:08
This theocratic, authoritarian, perverse version of Islamic leadership needs to die.
27:18
It needs to be stamped out.
27:19
The idea of which to never return again.
27:23
That's what needs to happen.
27:25
But we haven't done it yet because, oh, my pocketbook, my gas, what am I going to do?
27:32
You see, the world is intentionally tolerating evil for the sake of comforts.
27:38
And what's happening is evil is begetting evil.
27:41
It's evident in all the militias.
27:44
the militant Islamic extreme militias,
27:49
or rather the extreme Islamist militias,
27:52
the terrorists.
27:54
Evil begets evil.
27:55
Iran's been funding them.
27:56
They've been using them as their tools
27:59
to carry out what their real plan is,
28:04
which is violence, division,
28:06
and their long game of conquering,
28:09
let's just be honest, the entire world.
28:11
They would rather see the entire world
28:13
under the rule of the Islamic regime.
28:15
Taking out the Islamic regime will send a clear message.
28:18
The Islamic regime has been perceived as invincible, all-powerful.
28:22
There's nothing that anybody can do to them
28:23
because they are just too big to take down.
28:26
But we need to take them down.
28:28
They need to go.
28:30
They can no longer exist.
28:32
There will never be peace in the Middle East.
28:34
Probably, to be honest, there's always going to be some kind of conflict.
28:38
But I believe it will be a much more peaceful place
28:41
with the Islamic regime removed.
28:44
That being said, we do have to be careful
28:46
to create a dangerous power vacuum.
28:49
Hence why when this happens, and it will happen,
28:53
when the regime is taken out,
28:56
we have to make it clear that another like it
28:58
will never be tolerated,
28:59
and it will be hunted down even more ferociously
29:02
than even the Islamic regime was.
29:05
This is what needs to happen.
29:07
Unfortunately, the West doesn't have the stomach work.
29:09
The Western nations do not have a stomach to do what needs to be done,
29:13
but that's what needs to happen.
29:17
And you may not like what I said.
29:19
You may not agree with everything I've said outwardly,
29:24
but inwardly, you know I'm right.
29:26
You know I'm right.
29:29
But again, this is all for naught if you can't get gas
29:34
for less than the average of $4 a gallon, I guess, right?
29:38
we might as well just find a way to live with this evil regime and all the atrocities so let's
29:43
continue to do that and if we're going to do that then that means let's stop complaining let's just
29:47
give away our nations let's just go ahead and hand ourselves over and be subjugated to sharia law now
29:53
but i refuse to do so and i'm not going to do so and i think that the world needs to come to grips
30:00
with the reality of what the future is going to look like with an ever emboldened islamic regime
30:05
that is what we need to do
30:09
they need to be taken out
30:11
period
30:12
but let's see how this plays out
30:14
will Trump pull out
30:15
will Trump actually
30:17
retreat
30:18
from this conflict
30:21
is it true that a resolution
30:23
has been reached
30:24
is it true that there is an agreement
30:25
will there be a ceasefire
30:26
and the conditions seem to have been
30:30
made publicly already
30:31
Trump did say
30:33
he leaves the door open
30:34
for further strikes
30:36
So again, putting this back in the hands of the Islamic regime,
30:40
or maybe even the IRGC.
30:42
I mean, for all we know, they really are who is in charge.
30:44
The Islamic regime may absolutely be stamped out.
30:49
We have no idea.
30:50
There's a lot of theater going on, a lot of misdirection.
30:53
Iran wants you to think that they're still in control.
30:56
It's very obvious from the outside of the QAnon
30:58
that they don't have the control that they used to have.
31:02
And the people are stuck in the middle.
31:05
Hoping that this all stops so they can live without fear.
31:09
They can live a free life or just go about their day without worrying about a bomb dropping on their heads or demolishing their house.
31:19
So we all wish for this to end.
31:22
We all wish for this to end swiftly.
31:24
But I don't say that we should end it for the sake of our pocketbooks.
31:30
It should end because the regime is truly, truly gone.
31:35
or they are so crippled to a degree that they will no longer ever be affected.
31:40
And moving forward, they should be given no quarter.
31:43
They should not be able to go anywhere in the world.
31:45
And that even includes their pseudo-ally, Russia,
31:48
because let's just be honest, Russia just looks out for themselves.
31:51
China, same thing.
31:53
Nobody, nobody should harbor these atrocious individuals.
32:00
With that being said,
32:01
let's support our troops
32:05
let's pray for the Iranian people
32:08
the good people of Iran
32:09
those who have been looking for
32:10
freedom and liberty
32:12
the ability to live their lives
32:13
as they will
32:13
as they wish to be
32:15
and let's hope that we get out of this
32:19
let's hope that we get out of this
32:20
and realize that
32:21
this is not all for nothing
32:24
that there is light at the end of the tunnel
32:27
but we just have to have the stomach
32:29
to go all the way
32:31
Okay, so now that I've given you news updates, some facts, and my very own opinions regarding the Iran conflict, let's move back to the good old U.S. of A.
32:48
I haven't touched on domestic politics where things are happening for quite some time, and it's been clear that our elected officials do not necessarily care about those who elect them.
33:00
Some will argue that Trump is not the president that they voted for.
33:06
But what I'm focusing on more than how Trump has been acting, what he's been doing, is Congress, both the House and the Senate.
33:15
You see, there's a few particular bills that are being completely ignored as far as what the people want.
33:24
more,
33:26
more,
33:27
more to the point,
33:29
the save act.
33:30
So there's actually two here.
33:32
One was like an updated amendment,
33:34
but you have the save act,
33:36
which is HR 22.
33:38
And then you have the save America act,
33:41
which is,
33:42
let me look over here.
33:44
HR 72 96.
33:46
So two different things here,
33:49
but both are about the same thing.
33:52
Well, actually, HR 7296 complements HR 22.
33:57
And so to explain what's happening here between these two bills and what they mean and represent,
34:03
let's go ahead to congress.gov where you can publicly see everything that's happening regarding Congress and what they're doing.
34:14
So let's start here with HR 22.
34:18
The HR 22 Save Act.
34:20
here's the summary for people who don't really know
34:23
because a lot of us are getting news
34:24
we're getting headlines
34:25
we're getting things thrown at us going
34:26
you know
34:28
they're not passing the SAVE Act
34:30
and then there's a SAVE America Act
34:31
like what is all this?
34:32
well here's the summary of what HR 22 is
34:36
here we go
34:38
this bill requires individuals to provide
34:40
documentary proof of US citizenship
34:43
when registering to vote in federal elections
34:48
Specifically, the bill prohibits states from accepting and processing an application to register to vote in a federal election unless the applicant presents documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.
35:01
The bill specifies that documents are considered acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship, such as identification that complies with the Real ID Act of 2005.
35:13
That includes U.S. citizenship.
35:16
Further, the bill, one, prohibits states from registering an individual to vote in federal elections unless, at the time, the individual applies to register to vote.
35:25
The individual provides documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and, two, requires states to establish an alternative process under which an applicant may submit other evidence to demonstrate U.S. citizenship.
35:39
Each state must take affirmative steps on an ongoing basis to ensure that only U.S. citizens are registered to vote, which shall include establishing a program to identify individuals who are not U.S. citizens using information supplied by certain sources.
35:58
And so, H.R. 22 focuses on proving who you are as a U.S. citizen so that you can actually register to vote in federal elections.
36:07
And it leaves that distinction, ways and methods and means of doing so up to the state.
36:13
But either way, it has to be verified documentation that actually verifies you as a U.S. citizen.
36:21
Documentation, ID, like a real ID, passport, etc.
36:25
There's ways to verify you.
36:27
So that is what HR 22 is.
36:29
Doesn't sound outrageous, does it?
36:32
But there has been contention.
36:35
There has been a lot of tension even between the Republicans and the Democratic Party because the Democratic Party says this is unnecessary.
36:47
It's just further hoops to jump through for people.
36:51
Oh, they got to take time out of their day to get a passport.
36:54
What if you're married and you change your name?
36:56
They're making all these arguments, which are just ridiculous.
36:59
They're just reaching.
37:00
There's no clear reason as to why the Democrat Party would actually oppose this,
37:05
because, I mean, if we're protecting our sovereignty
37:07
and what happens to our nation moving forward based on the election results,
37:12
should we not want to verify that actual U.S. citizens are voting in these federal elections?
37:16
Makes a lot of sense to most everybody.
37:21
In fact, this bill is supported by literally in multiple, multiple polls.
37:26
Multiple polls, not just one.
37:28
I know a lot of people say, hey, well, the polls don't really mean much.
37:31
A lot of times I'll agree with that because polls can, well, they cannot necessarily tell you the whole truth.
37:37
We don't know what the data pool was.
37:40
Like how big was your sample size?
37:42
How many people did you include?
37:43
Was it five people, 10 people, 10,000?
37:46
We don't know.
37:48
But for the most part, every single poll out there, regardless of where it's coming from,
37:53
state that the people of the United States
37:57
say in favor of this bill
38:00
at the tune of 70% support.
38:03
70% of people of all of these polls
38:06
support this bill, H.R. 22.
38:10
And so what's with the other one?
38:12
What's with the other amendment?
38:14
I'm glad you asked.
38:15
We're going to go there.
38:16
So the other bill, the Save America Act.
38:19
So you have the Save Act
38:21
and you have the Save America Act.
38:23
H.R. 7296 is the Save America Act.
38:27
So what this does is it kind of, well, it's not kind of, it does complement H.R. 22.
38:33
This goes further, though.
38:34
This bill requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote
38:40
and requires photo identification to vote.
38:45
So there's the distinction.
38:47
HR 22 is stating, we need proof of who you are as a U.S. citizen so you can register to vote.
38:56
HR 72 96 takes it a step further and says well in addition we need proof of who you are when you actually go to cast your vote
39:05
So when you show up to the polls, you still have to identify who you are.
39:09
Again, doesn't sound unreasonable, right?
39:13
Here's the problem.
39:15
Going back to HR 22 here.
39:18
So if we look at the actions taken here, we can see that H.R. 22 has been received by the Senate for approval, or for a vote anyway, back in April of 2025 last year.
39:37
So April 10th of 2025.
39:40
It was passed by the House and put on the desk of the Senate.
39:45
as of now to this date in 2026
39:50
we're in April
39:51
this is April 1st
39:52
and I'm recording this
39:53
we do not have
39:56
any action taken by the Senate
39:58
to vote on this bill
40:01
I don't even believe they even looked at it
40:03
they pretty much shelved it
40:05
so a year later
40:08
we have no action on this bill
40:10
it's almost as if
40:11
they're hoping it just goes away
40:13
or people forget
40:15
and HR 7296, as you can see now,
40:21
it's not updated here on their website,
40:23
but it literally just passed the House
40:26
just February of 2026.
40:28
Now, HR 7296 was introduced January 30th, I believe.
40:34
I believe it was January 30th.
40:36
It was in January.
40:37
Let me see.
40:37
Yep, right here.
40:38
Introduced January 30th of 2026
40:40
and was adopted or passed by the House
40:44
just this February.
40:46
Now, I know it doesn't say this here on congress.gov,
40:48
but it has passed.
40:49
It's just this hasn't been updated.
40:51
So again, this has moved to the House.
40:54
We're in another situation.
40:56
I'm sorry, moved to the Senate.
40:57
So we're in another situation
40:59
where the Senate is once again
41:01
sitting on their hands
41:02
and not wanting to deal with this.
41:05
So we have H.R. 22 and H.R. 7296,
41:10
both which look out for our sovereignty.
41:14
the future of America by simply just asking for you to prove that you're a U.S. citizen
41:20
so that you can therefore vote in federal elections.
41:25
Not too much to ask, really.
41:28
Now, this shouldn't even be an issue.
41:30
This shouldn't even be an argument, but somehow there is.
41:33
And the split between the House and Senate is appalling.
41:36
This is something that regardless of what political aisle you're on,
41:39
which party you affiliate yourself with, should just make sense.
41:44
Because it looks out for America.
41:45
It looks out for the United States of America.
41:47
It looks out for its citizens.
41:49
So why isn't this moving forward?
41:54
It's just a clear admission that, well, if we have to prove that you have to be a citizen to vote,
42:00
that maybe those people who don't want this to pass were actually taking advantage of this
42:06
and manipulating this to their benefit.
42:12
as in maybe there were illegal immigrants
42:16
or non-citizens voting in our federal elections
42:18
all this time?
42:21
Possibly.
42:22
It's very plausible.
42:24
And in fact, that's the argument
42:25
that many people are making.
42:27
So again, if 70% of the U.S. citizens
42:32
or 70% of those polled in America,
42:35
the entire United States of America,
42:37
support this,
42:38
how is it that this hasn't passed
42:42
the House and the Senate yet.
42:43
How is it that this has not yet been signed into law
42:46
when 70% of the United States of America,
42:50
its people itself, support this?
42:52
This is a blatant slap in the face to all people.
42:57
Your representatives are telling you
43:00
that they don't need to listen to you.
43:02
Basically saying they don't represent you.
43:05
They represent their own interests.
43:06
And that's exactly what we have here.
43:08
This is a case of, we don't care about you.
43:13
Thanks for putting me in office and giving me this salary and all the benefits that come with it.
43:17
Oh, yeah, and the backroom deals and the handshakes and somehow our stock portfolios do amazingly well against everybody else in the US.
43:27
And, you know, there's all these things that are beneficial for anybody in Congress that they're given.
43:33
They're illegal, but we can't prove it, right?
43:36
But they're given these opportunities.
43:38
They're put there by people like you and me who vote for them.
43:41
And yet they can't come together, both the House and the Senate,
43:47
to pass these Save America and the Save Act,
43:52
like the H.R. 22 and the H.R. 72-96.
43:54
They can't pass these two things that all Americans,
43:57
or at least very much the majority of Americans want.
44:02
Really, the United States of America, its people want this?
44:04
and yet you're still not doing anything about it?
44:08
Sitting on the desk still
44:09
or is it getting dusty on the shelf?
44:10
Like which is it?
44:11
Have you even looked at it?
44:12
Have you fucking looked at it?
44:13
That's the question.
44:15
The answer is no.
44:17
I guarantee it's no.
44:19
They haven't done anything.
44:21
Yet, yet, yet, there's more.
44:23
There's more.
44:24
We're not done.
44:26
There's more.
44:27
Enter Senate Amendment 4790.
44:31
4790 was proposed by Senator John Thune as a substitute amendment to House Resolution 7147.
44:39
What's the primary purpose?
44:41
It serves as the Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act for 2026.
44:48
The key provisions provides approximately $1.69 billion for the Department of Homeland Security,
44:55
DHS Management Directorate for Operations, Support, and Vehicle Fleet Modernization,
45:00
allocates funding for the Federal Protective Services
45:04
and Coast Guard procurement and research
45:06
and includes specific limitations on pay and benefits
45:09
for TSA employees during certain periods.
45:13
Now, this all relates to what's been happening
45:15
with the government shutdown
45:18
in relation to DHS and TSA not getting paid.
45:23
You see, they haven't passed the budget for DHS,
45:27
which will basically fund TSA, ICE, etc.
45:33
So what's been the holdup?
45:34
Well, the holdup has been ICE.
45:35
The Democratic Party obviously doesn't like ICE.
45:38
They don't like how they've been going about
45:40
and enforcing our immigration laws,
45:43
how they're rounding people up and deporting them.
45:46
Fine.
45:46
So they're proposing that we no longer fund ICE
45:51
or they get zero.
45:52
Like, let's just take them out of this bill.
45:55
And so with that being said, let's go back to congress.gov here.
46:01
So let's see what the difference is.
46:04
So House Resolution 7147, which started all this, let's go ahead and read the summary.
46:10
This bill provides continuing fiscal year 2026 appropriations to the Department of Homeland Security through May 22 of 2026.
46:22
It is known as a continuing resolution or also known as a CR and ends the partial DHS shutdown that began on February 14th, 2026 due to, as I said, an elapse of appropriations for DHS.
46:38
So they haven't been able to come to an agreement and passing the further appropriations to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
46:46
Kind of ridiculous, right?
46:47
Why wouldn't you fund the Department of Homeland Security?
46:49
It is Homeland Security.
46:52
The bill also authorizes back pay in accordance with current law for federal employees who were affected by the partial DHS shutdown while entering the TSA agents.
47:01
So let's see what the actions have been taken.
47:03
So it's been introduced to pass the House, pass the Senate.
47:06
But now, even though it's passed, it hasn't been kicked up to the president yet, President Trump, because now they're trying to resolve differences.
47:12
They're like, hold on.
47:14
We don't like everything that's in this.
47:16
After further thought, we need to think about a few things here.
47:20
And so this is where the Senate amendment,
47:24
SA 4790 comes in.
47:28
Now, this is where things get really shady.
47:30
Okay.
47:31
Thus far, they haven't been able to come to an agreement on any of this.
47:36
But in order to get things going,
47:39
there was an amendment here that was put together by John Thune.
47:45
And what's crazy is what's in here is it's almost as if he just caves into the Democrats here.
47:53
Because in reading this, let's go to explanatory statement.
47:58
Why is this bill here?
48:00
Well, the explanatory statement regarding this act printed in the House section of the congressional record on or about January 22nd, 2026,
48:07
and submitted by the chair of the committee on appropriations of the house
48:11
shall have the time effect with respect to the allocation of funds
48:16
and implementation of this act as if it were a joint explanatory statement
48:24
of a committee or conference, except that the contents printed
48:29
under the headings U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
48:35
and border security operations
48:37
under the heading
48:38
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
48:41
shall have no force
48:43
or effect for purpose
48:45
of this act
48:46
and amounts specified
48:48
in the final bill
48:50
column under the subheading
48:52
Border Security Operations
48:54
under the heading
48:55
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
48:56
and under the heading
48:58
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
49:02
also known as ICE.
49:03
in the Department of Homeland Security Act
49:07
2026 table
49:09
shall be
49:10
zero.
49:14
So in order to appease Democrats
49:16
and move forward with funding
49:18
DHS of some level,
49:21
John Thune thought it would be a smart thing
49:23
to just go, you know, let's just go
49:24
eliminate ICE and Border Patrol.
49:27
Let's not fund those guys. They're not important.
49:29
We don't need to enforce our customs
49:30
and border patrol
49:34
abilities whatsoever. We don't need
49:36
to enforce immigration law.
49:38
None of it. Let's just take it
49:40
away. Who cares? Doesn't matter.
49:42
We can move on. But let's fund everything
49:44
else. We'll fund DHS
49:45
for managerial and operational
49:48
considerations like vehicles and
49:50
things like that. But we're not
49:52
going to fund border patrol
49:53
or ICE.
49:56
Doesn't make any sense.
49:58
But yet John Thune caved.
50:00
and the reason this even passed,
50:03
it passed, by the way.
50:04
This is not what the people want,
50:06
by the way, at all,
50:08
but it passed.
50:09
How did he do it?
50:10
In a shady late night or early morning,
50:14
however you look at it,
50:15
technically early morning,
50:16
three in the morning voice voter roll.
50:24
And it's like,
50:25
why is this important?
50:28
Well, a voice vote, a voice vote or a vote by voice.
50:34
What's interesting about that is nobody is on record.
50:39
What's further interesting about this is it was at 3 a.m.
50:45
and it wasn't the entire Senate.
50:48
It was a handful of people, a handful of John Thune's buddies, for example.
50:53
And so here's an article.
50:58
Actually, before I get the article, let me explain what this voice vote is.
51:03
So let me go to this overview here.
51:05
So a voice vote in the U.S. Senate is a quick, routine procedure
51:12
where the presiding officer asks members to say yay or nay in unison,
51:18
determining the outcome without recording individual votes,
51:22
often used for non-controversial measures
51:24
or during expedited procedures.
51:27
This method allows for rapid action
51:30
such as passing funding packages
51:31
without a formal roll call.
51:36
And so why that's important?
51:37
Well, it's important because
51:38
there's no accountability.
51:42
The representatives cannot be held accountable
51:45
by the people who put them there.
51:47
We can't call them out and say,
51:48
why did you vote this in when we didn't want this?
51:51
They don't want to be on record as
51:52
saying, yeah, we sided with the Democrat
51:54
Party and pushed this thing through.
51:56
We caved. They don't want to be
51:58
on record or known to
52:00
on record for the people who decided they weren't going to fund ICE or Border Patrol,
52:05
that those organizations are essentially pretty much shut down.
52:09
And you know what else is amazing about this?
52:13
You know what else is the big slap in the face, the shenanigans being played against
52:18
you and I, the American people, that further prove that they don't care about us?
52:23
I'm glad you asked because now I'm going to go to that article.
52:26
So here's this political article.
52:28
I'm going to scroll up here.
52:31
Scalise says senators have buyer's remorse over DHS funding vote.
52:35
Well, do they now?
52:37
Do they now?
52:38
House Republicans are furious with the Senate colleagues
52:40
over the decision to vote for limited funding packages.
52:44
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said Sunday
52:46
that some senators regret voting to fund the vast majority
52:49
of the Department of Homeland Security
52:51
after both chambers left town
52:55
amid an impasse overending the ongoing DHS shutdown.
53:01
So they couldn't agree on how to move this forward.
53:04
They couldn't agree how to stop the shutdown.
53:08
But hey, it doesn't matter because they left.
53:13
So reading on, well, we actually read their bill.
53:16
And frankly, a number of senators have expressed buyer's remorse
53:19
with what they did at 3 in the morning, just as I said.
53:24
So at 3 a.m., Scalise said during an appearance on ABC's this week.
53:28
So we looked at it.
53:29
One of the things that we had real concerns with is that it actually defunds over 25% of the baseline operations at DHS.
53:41
ICE, Border Patrol.
53:44
No funding.
53:44
It says here the Senate voted unanimously in a voice vote early Friday to fund all of DHS except ICE and, oh, I'm sorry, part of Customs and Border Protection.
53:59
It's only part of Customs and Border Protection.
54:01
That came after President Donald Trump announced Thursday night that he had ordered DHS to start paying TSA agents despite the partial government shutdown.
54:10
But House Republicans were unwilling to go along with the Senate's plans.
54:15
Instead, Speaker Mike Johnson opted to push a temporary extension of all DHS funding,
54:21
which makes sense, including immigration enforcement ahead of a two-week recess.
54:27
So here's the deal.
54:32
Thun and his buddy sneakily passed this via Volvo's vote,
54:36
where nobody's held accountable because nobody's on record.
54:38
at 3 a.m.
54:41
on a Friday
54:42
right before everybody leaves
54:44
on a two fucking vacation There no resolution We have no funding advice we have most of border patrol not being funded if this is a sneaky
54:57
if this isn't a slap in the face
54:59
to all Americans
55:01
I don't know what is
55:03
I'm not sure how much clearer this can get
55:05
they refuse to pass the SAVE Act
55:07
the Senate does
55:08
both the SAVE Act and SAVE America Act
55:11
both of those are not going anywhere right now
55:14
even though
55:15
H.R. 22 was passed by the House and put on the desk of the Senate last year in April of 2025.
55:23
Here we are, April 2026, and still nothing going on.
55:26
And then we had a partial shutdown back in February because they couldn't come to grips with extending the funding for DHS, right?
55:36
Because there's no way that we're going to fund ICE.
55:40
Oh, the immigrants, what do we do?
55:42
They're being hunted down and deported.
55:44
Oh, you mean that the immigration laws are being enforced,
55:47
that they're catching up to people?
55:49
And listen, I know there's a lot of nuance there.
55:51
I've already went over a lot of how this is being handled
55:53
in my previous shows and in previous interviews.
55:56
Check out that one I did with John Carlos Frey.
55:58
Really good.
55:59
No, I'm sorry.
55:59
John Carlos Frey.
56:01
Didn't mean to pronounce the last name there,
56:02
but just check that episode out.
56:04
He gives his side of the story based on his investigatory work.
56:08
I give him my opinion based on facts and data.
56:10
Good episode.
56:12
Either way.
56:14
We don't want to be able to be held accountable here.
56:17
This is what the Congress is saying, right?
56:21
We're going to do a voice vote, 3 a.m.
56:22
We're going to pass some kind of funding
56:24
so that people can get on their planes.
56:27
We don't want to be held up on our planes.
56:29
We don't want long lines.
56:30
We don't need TSA there.
56:32
Not getting paid.
56:33
And so they pass a partial resolution,
56:36
but omit funding ICE
56:38
and take a huge chunk away from Customs and Border Patrol.
56:44
what the fuck?
56:47
And they do so
56:48
at 3 a.m.
56:51
via voice vote
56:52
and then go on vacation.
56:59
What?
57:01
What?
57:02
Do these representatives represent you?
57:05
Are they doing what you
57:07
asked them to do?
57:08
I know everybody always says that about Trump, right?
57:11
It's always like, oh, are you getting what you voted for?
57:13
Well, fuck, man.
57:14
We need to be asking the same questions of our representatives in Congress in both House and Senate.
57:19
Are we getting what we voted for?
57:21
Can we hold them accountable?
57:23
Can the citizens impeach them?
57:24
Can we come together and just kick their ass out of office?
57:28
Can we do that?
57:29
That'd be great, right?
57:30
Can we?
57:31
I don't know.
57:31
I may be ignorant of that.
57:32
I don't know if we really could.
57:33
If we can, and I don't know.
57:36
I apologize I should know But regardless why can we hold them accountable Why aren we stepping up and holding them accountable Let get these jackasses out of office and put someone else in right away immediately They not working for you or I They not working for
57:51
the American people. They do not care about you. They don't care about me. They want their salaries.
57:56
They want their perks. They want their backdoor deals. They want their speaking engagements,
58:02
their book tours, they want their stock portfolio to just tremendously grow overnight,
58:08
but be damned if they answer to you or I based on what the fuck it is that we actually want them to do.
58:15
Again, 70% of Americans want the SAVE Act and Save America Act, both one and the same really, to pass,
58:22
but they refuse to.
58:24
And then they refuse to fund ICE and take away most funding from Customs and Border Patrol.
58:32
to do what?
58:34
To appease the Democratic Party?
58:36
Or so that you can sidestep social pressures
58:39
and go on vacation without getting bugged
58:42
or poked and prodded
58:43
by the handful of people
58:45
that are offended by ICE
58:47
actually doing their fucking jobs?
58:53
America.
58:55
America, listen to me.
58:56
Listen to me, America.
59:02
it's time to hold our representatives accountable.
59:06
It's really time for us to care.
59:08
And I'm not talking about the fake protests,
59:12
like the no Kings protests,
59:13
which let's just be honest,
59:14
that's not making a fucking difference
59:17
because nobody really cares.
59:18
I'm sorry.
59:20
You had over 70 million people vote for Trump
59:23
and you had about 8 million people
59:25
that said collectively that showed up
59:26
for these no Kings protests.
59:28
Hmm, do the percentages.
59:30
It's not looking good for you.
59:31
I'm sorry.
59:32
You know, it's just like watching a bunch of three-year-olds who didn't get their way,
59:37
just kind of falling on the floor and flailing their arms around until they get that candy bar
59:42
that they want mommy to buy them.
59:43
It's like, come on.
59:44
It's not doing anything.
59:46
It's not effective.
59:47
Why don't you put your money and your efforts towards something that matters?
59:50
Like going after our representatives who decide that they don't have to work for you.
59:55
I mean, they're collecting a salary, a minimum of $175,000, $172,000.
1:00:01
Either way, it's a decent salary.
1:00:03
And on top of that,
1:00:04
they're getting $400,000 book deals
1:00:06
for books that don't even fucking sell.
1:00:08
Like, how are you getting these massive advances
1:00:10
for books that don't sell?
1:00:12
Oh, because it's favors.
1:00:14
That's why.
1:00:15
It's favors.
1:00:16
It's funding for favors
1:00:17
that they're doing behind your back.
1:00:25
Let put our collective interests and efforts where it needs to be by fixing our government Let do that Let focus on that instead of fighting each other
1:00:37
Oh, and by all means, kind of going back to the Iran conflict here,
1:00:40
as much as we don't want our people to die, I don't want our people to die.
1:00:43
My fucking nephew's out there.
1:00:44
You think I want that?
1:00:45
No.
1:00:46
I'd love my nephew to come home.
1:00:47
Let's just be honest.
1:00:48
He's a Marine.
1:00:51
But let's look at the big picture as well.
1:00:54
Let's stop tolerating evil regimes.
1:00:56
Let's stop tolerating evil regimes for the sake of our fucking wallets
1:01:00
and the benefits of getting oil from a region.
1:01:03
We can figure it out.
1:01:05
We'll figure it out.
1:01:06
We don't need it.
1:01:08
We can come together as one world and stamp out evil,
1:01:11
and we can figure out how to freaking distribute the oil after the fact.
1:01:16
I mean, there's plenty of it out there in the world.
1:01:18
Plenty.
1:01:20
Lots.
1:01:21
Many people that we can get our oil from.
1:01:23
Everybody.
1:01:24
Everybody.
1:01:26
We shouldn't be tolerating evil for the sake of oil.
1:01:30
Fuck no.
1:01:32
And citizens, people of the United States of America,
1:01:34
we shouldn't be tolerating the fucked up bullshit
1:01:37
our government puts us through.
1:01:39
Stand up.
1:01:41
Get over there.
1:01:43
Put the pressure on them.
1:01:45
Show up at their offices and put the fucking pressure on them.
1:01:48
Let them know who they work for.
1:01:50
They're literally employees of us, the public.
1:01:54
Me.
1:01:55
And you.
1:01:56
they work for us.
1:01:59
Make sure they're doing that.
1:02:01
Make sure they're doing that.
1:02:03
Turn the screws to them.
1:02:05
We got to make sure that they are doing
1:02:06
what we asked them to do.
1:02:09
And with that being said,
1:02:11
I'm going to end the show here.
1:02:14
I'm going to ask you all to please subscribe,
