Speaker 1: Last, but certainly not least, please feel free to go
1:06
out and tell family members and friends about the great
1:09
things that we do here on the show, so that
1:11
way they like you, can become a part of what
1:14
we strive to do here, which is to break down
1:16
the biggest political stories once again in our own unique,
1:19
unapologetic and sometimes in our own controversial way. Before I
1:25
dive into the show, I want to go ahead and
1:27
get the elephant out of the room. There are so
1:30
many of you out there right now that are asking
1:33
the question, what has taken you nearly two months to
1:38
do an episode? And, to be matter of fact with you,
1:44
at the time of this recording, it is May twenty
1:47
fourth of twenty twenty six. The last episode that I
1:51
did for you guys was back on March twenty fourth
1:54
of twenty twenty six, so it is two months to
1:57
the day when I did the last episode of the
2:01
Igarius Williams Show for you guys. That episode was entitled
2:05
No New Wars. Yeah right, that was episode thirteen. Here
2:09
we are at episode fourteen, and I'm gonna be perfectly
2:13
honest with you. I do not know what I'm going
2:16
to title this episode. I know what I'm gonna talk about,
2:18
but I just have not come up with the title
2:20
just yet. So to answer the question, what is taken
2:24
so long to produce a new episode? I don't know
2:28
about you, guys. Maybe you feel this way, maybe you don't,
2:32
But I've gotten to a place where talking about politics
2:35
has become so depressing. It seems like every single day
2:39
there's something new politically that's happening that keeps us on
2:43
our toes. If it's not the Iran war, is the
2:47
constant turnover in the Trump administration. If it's not that
2:51
it's the Democrat still trying to figure out what happened
2:53
to him in the twenty twenty four election. If it's
2:56
not that you have Republicans screaming that it is time
2:59
for John Thumne to be removed as the Senate majority
3:02
leader because he's blocking Trump's agenda.
3:04
Speaker 2: YadA, YadA, YadA.
3:05
Speaker 1: It is a very depressing time to be someone who
3:09
is dialed in to politics. Now. I know for some
3:12
people that cover politics for a living, this is a
3:14
great time for them because it gives them plenty to
3:17
talk about. But when you're someone who's become as politically
3:21
exhausted as I've become, it almost makes politics something that
3:26
you want to stay away from, as opposed to something
3:29
that you want to talk about. But I've just gotten
3:32
this urge over the course of the past few days
3:34
to come and talk to you guys about something that's
3:37
been on my mind. So go ahead, and buckle up,
3:39
because what we're about to talk about today is going
3:43
to enrage some of you, and on the other hand,
3:46
some of you are going to actually agree with what
3:49
I'm about to say. But before we dive into it,
3:52
this the last little divot that I'm gonna do before
3:55
we actually dive into the conversation. For those of you
3:59
that are new, I want want you to understand something
4:01
at the outset. I'm not a Democrat nor a Republican.
4:06
I am someone who has just become so fed up
4:09
with the political system in the United States to where
4:12
I do not identify with either political party because they're
4:16
both selling us down the river while pretending that it's
4:20
the other side that's doing it and not them. At
4:23
the end of the day, if you're someone who can
4:26
objectively look at politics, you'll understand that what we find
4:31
ourselves in as far as a battle, is not between
4:34
Democrat and Republicans. It's a battle between us, the everyday
4:39
citizens of this country, and those who make the decisions
4:43
to further make our lives feel that.
4:47
Speaker 2: It is not important, that they're not important.
4:50
Speaker 1: That's the fight, And I don't understand why so many
4:53
people in this country don't understand that for what it is.
4:58
I don't hate you because you're a Demo Democrat. I
5:00
don't hate you because you're a Republican. I just have
5:03
a strong disdain for you because you keep identifying with
5:07
these political parties that, at.
5:08
Speaker 2: The end of the day, don't care about you. They don't.
5:13
Speaker 1: You have so many Republicans who feel that Trump and
5:17
the congressional Republicans care about them, and they don't. You
5:20
have so many Democrats who feel that the Democratic congressional
5:25
group cares about them, and they don't, because if they did,
5:29
life would be a little bit better than what it is.
5:32
How many of you listening to my voice right now
5:35
have been to the gas station recently? How many of
5:38
you have felt the pinch of what it feels like
5:41
to pay for gasoline. How many of you listening to
5:44
my voice right now have been to the grocery store recently?
5:47
And how many of you have felt the pinch of
5:50
what it feels like to buy groceries. How many of
5:53
you listening to my voice right now have recently graduated
5:56
college and you realize that that degree that you just
6:00
got doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to be able
6:03
to get a job in this economy that we live
6:06
in because of all those things, plus the continued emergence
6:10
of AI, which is going to continue to make it
6:14
harder and harder for people to get jobs because AI
6:17
is going to replace a majority of the jobs in
6:20
this country. So with that as a backdrop, I want
6:25
to talk about something that I'm pretty sure you've heard
6:29
something about here recently. We are five months, give or
6:34
take away from the midterm elections, and the midterm elections,
6:40
in most people's eyes, will be a referendum on the
6:43
first two years of the second Trump administration. You have
6:48
Republicans who feel that they're in a good position to
6:51
build upon their majority in both Houses of Congress, while
6:54
you have Democrats who feel that Trump's second term has
6:57
been so bad thus far to where it's going to
7:00
allow them to backdoor themselves into a position to regain
7:04
control of both houses of Congress and then push forward
7:07
with further impeachment trials against the sitting president. Where I
7:13
come into all of this as someone who's on the
7:16
outside looking in is basically, I don't care who gets
7:22
control of Congress in November, and I know that that
7:25
statement is going to piss off a lot of people
7:28
on both sides of the spectrum. How could you not
7:30
care it's vital who gets control of both houses of Congress.
7:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, in your eyes, Not in my eyes.
7:38
Speaker 1: Because once again, going back to the original point that
7:40
I just made, it doesn't matter who gains control of
7:43
the House. It doesn't matter who gains control of the Senate.
7:46
It's still gonna be the same old song and dance
7:49
for two more years until the twenty twenty eight elections
7:52
roll around. Nothing's going to change, nothing's drastically gonna get different.
7:58
If the Republicans can continue to hold on to their
8:01
majority in both Houses of Congress, it's just going to
8:03
be a further chance for them to push Trump's agenda.
8:06
If the Democrats get it, they're going to spend the
8:08
next two years railroading his agenda while going forward with impeachment.
8:13
That's pretty much going to be how the board is
8:16
going to be set up for both sides if they
8:19
were to gain power in November, well for the Republicans,
8:23
if they were to maintain the power that they already had.
8:28
Speaker 2: But just think about it from your perspective for a second.
8:32
Speaker 1: Regardless as to who gets controlled, will your life get
8:36
any better. Will you see gas prices decrease tremendously? Will
8:41
you see grocery prices decrease tremendously? Will you see your
8:45
rent go down? Will you be able to actually go
8:48
out and get a job if you're someone that just
8:50
graduated college. Will you be able to finally free yourself
8:54
from the burden of student loan debt? Will you finally
8:56
be able to pay for childcare, for health care, for
8:58
all these other basic necessities that you need to make
9:02
it through life? And yet you have so many people
9:07
who are so fixated on Hey, if my party doesn't win,
9:10
we're screwed. We're already screwed. I hate to break it
9:13
to you, but that's just the truth. We're already screwed.
9:16
And whoever told you that we're not already screwed, they
9:19
sold you a row bill of goods. Because we are.
9:21
We're there. There's nothing left to do but to continue
9:27
to screw us over. And please don't think that my
9:31
ire is fixated on you guys, because it's not. My
9:36
ire is fixated on the people who got us in
9:38
this mess, while continuing to believe that they had no
9:41
hand in what's been going on. We're still in this
9:46
war with a run, and the President has basically come
9:49
out and said, hey, look, when it comes to decisions
9:53
fixated on a run, I don't take Americans' concerns into
9:57
consideration one bit. I'm paraphrasing what he said, but it
10:00
went alone those lines. You and I and the struggles
10:04
that we're going through currently is not on his radar,
10:07
because the only thing on his radar is making sure
10:10
that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. While you and
10:14
I continue to pay for four five, six seven dollars gasoline,
10:19
while we have to continue to go and pay eleven twelve,
10:22
thirteen fourteen dollars for ground beat, while we have to
10:26
continue to worry if our rent is going to continue
10:30
to go up. But making sure Iran doesn't get that
10:33
nuclear weapon is top of mind. Making sure Thomas Massey
10:38
lost in Kentucky was top of mind, Making sure that
10:41
Bill Cassidy lost in Louisiana was top of mind. Those
10:46
are his priorities, while we continue to suffer because we're
10:53
not top of mind. And yet you have so many
10:57
people that voted for him back in twenty two. This
11:00
is exactly what I voted for. I'm willing to feel
11:04
the sting of higher gasoline if it means Iron can't
11:07
get that nuclear weapon. Hey, you know, we have to
11:12
pay a little bit extra for things at the store.
11:14
But I'm fine with that because I understand what the
11:17
end goal is, do you really? And Democrats you can't
11:23
say anything either, because when things were high, when Biden
11:27
was president, you basically told us the same thing. Hey,
11:29
just deal with it for right now. Things are going
11:31
to get better, I promise, and things never got better.
11:36
It feels like we've been digging ourselves out of a
11:38
hole since COVID, and instead of digging the hole upward,
11:41
we're digging it downward, and we're continuing to fall further
11:44
and further into the abyss, while you have some people
11:49
who just sit around and act like it's not happening,
11:53
which once again goes to further the point that I
11:56
made at the very beginning of this episode. It doesn't
11:59
matter which side, things are not going to get better,
12:03
and it's not ethical to point fingers. If you're a Democrat,
12:09
you can't point fingers at Republicans and vice versa, because
12:12
both sides have been in power since COVID, and both
12:15
sides have continued to contribute to the current state of
12:20
affairs that we find ourselves in. And there was a
12:26
point in time where you could go to the gas
12:28
station and pay a dollar two dollars for gas. I
12:32
remember here recently, as early as this year, you could
12:35
go and pay three for gas. That was cheap compared
12:39
to where we're at. There are a few gas stations
12:44
in the town that I live in where gas is
12:47
still below four dollars and diesel fuel is near five dollars.
12:53
And I know, if you're listening to this and you're
12:55
out in California or you're somewhere up nor if you're saying,
12:59
really you got this, gas is still that cheap. Where
13:01
we're at it six seven eight.
13:03
Speaker 2: Dollars, nearly ten for diesel.
13:08
Speaker 1: And yet this is a top of mind issue for
13:11
voters going into the midterms, and it seems like, hey,
13:15
it's just hey, you know, we hear you, but we
13:18
don't care. You know, when you're texting somebody and they
13:23
send you a message back and they say, I hear you.
13:26
Anybody with common sense knows that when someone tells you
13:29
that I hear you, it basically means I get where
13:32
you're coming from.
13:32
Speaker 2: I just don't care.
13:34
Speaker 1: And that's the messaging coming from the Republican Party. Hey,
13:38
I hear you, but we just don't care. You gotta understand,
13:42
we're dealing with a run. They can't get that nuclear weapon,
13:47
So if you gotta deal with high gas prices, just
13:49
shut up and deal with it.
13:51
Speaker 2: We'll get back.
13:52
Speaker 1: To it later, but just shut up for right now. Hey,
13:56
your grocery prices are too high? Okay, fine, show deal
14:00
with it. We're busy with something right now, can't you see.
14:06
Just shut up, stop complaining. It'll be fine sooner or later.
14:10
Speaker 2: But just just deal with it.
14:14
Speaker 1: And it seems like that's the only response that we get,
14:18
but they just got to add some more colorful words
14:20
to make it seem like that's not what they're saying.
14:24
Shut up, stop complaining. You dealt with it when Biden
14:29
was president, So why are you complaining now. Oh, that's
14:33
because somebody's in the White House.
14:34
Speaker 2: You don't like.
14:39
Speaker 1: This whole war with the Run is basically them telling
14:42
us shut up. We're doing something. We're trying to make
14:50
sure that the number one state sponsored terror never gets
14:53
a nuclear weapon, the same nuclear weapon that they and
14:58
the government is real trying to tell us that they
15:01
have been close to for years now. Every time you
15:04
used to hear somebody talk about Iran and their hopes
15:07
or aspirations for a nuclear weapon, they are only a
15:10
few weeks away from a nuclear weapon. And here we
15:14
are in twenty twenty six, with nearly half the year gone,
15:18
and the same thing as being said. They're close.
15:22
Speaker 2: To a nuclear weapon.
15:24
Speaker 1: You just don't understand the seriousness that surrounds what could
15:28
possibly happen if Iran gets that nuclear weapon. But hey,
15:38
in order to make sure that Iran doesn't get that
15:42
nuclear weapon, we gotta make sure that the straight of
15:48
her moves stays closed. We gotta make sure that that
15:51
gas continues to go up, and we gotta do all
15:54
these things to make sure that you guys.
15:57
Speaker 2: Know that we hear you. We just don't care.
16:07
Speaker 1: And speaking of the straight of her moves, the Trump
16:10
administration has been doing their due diligence to try to
16:13
get that reopened, and Iran has basically said, look, we
16:19
can see that you guys did not think that out
16:21
when you guys decided to join up with your buddies
16:24
in Israel to strike us. So just think about how
16:28
strategic that is for Iran to have the straight of
16:32
her moves under their control, and they can basically use
16:36
that as leverage to get some of the things that
16:39
they want from the United States in the talks to
16:43
end the war. You guys want the straight open so
16:46
that way all those stranded ships can get material to
16:50
other countries, so that way this economic tight hardship that's
16:54
been going on can finally end. All right, I tell
16:56
you what we want. We want you guys to stop
16:59
bombing up. We want you guys to not take our
17:02
enrinched uranium, and we kind of want to oversee the
17:06
straight going forward. If you want gas prices to go down,
17:11
if you want fertilizer to get to the places where
17:13
it needs to get to so it can stop hurting farmers,
17:16
then there's some things we want too. And I honestly
17:20
think that the United States did not take that into
17:22
consideration when they were planning how to attack a Run.
17:28
Speaker 2: They didn't think that he Run would.
17:29
Speaker 1: Use the straight of her moves to basically put handcuffs
17:32
behind the backs of the United States and Israel. And
17:40
yet so many people are just sitting back saying, hey,
17:42
you know what if we got to fill a tight
17:46
pinch for a while we just got to I trust Trump.
17:50
I know that what he's doing is for our good.
17:53
I may not understand it right now, but I trust
17:55
him the same way that Democrats continued to say that
18:03
they trusted Biden when Vladimir Putin first went into Ukraine
18:06
back in twenty twenty two. Hopefully these sanctions have hit
18:10
Vladimir Putin where it hurts, and here we are four
18:14
years later in that war is still going on. So
18:20
when you hear somebody talk about the mid terms, let
18:22
me just throw this little nugget at you, you gotta
18:27
ask yourself at the end of the day about that person.
18:33
Why are they so invested into something that's not going
18:37
to change the overall trajectory of where we're at as
18:41
a country. Nothing's gonna change. Donald Trump has had the
18:51
White House, the House, and the Senate since he got
18:56
back in the office January twentieth to twenty twenty five.
18:58
And how much led has been able to get through
19:02
Congress to his desk since he's been back in the
19:05
White House. The One Big Beautiful Bill and the Lake
19:09
and Riley Act on only two things that really come
19:11
to mind. Everything else he's wanted to do has come
19:14
via executive order. He's not been able to get much
19:18
through Congress, a Congress that his party controls, which is
19:24
why you hear him constantly talk about needing the end
19:27
the filibuster so that way you can get past the
19:31
six devote threshold that's needed to get legislation passed. And
19:36
yet you have John Thune up there, who is walking
19:41
on eggshells because he doesn't want to piss off the
19:45
non Maga Republican senators, but he also wants to delegate
19:50
to the Maga Republican senators.
19:53
Speaker 2: So you see the typrope that he's walking.
19:56
Speaker 1: And that's the reason why you have so many Trump
19:59
support orders who are now calling for the ouster of
20:02
John Thune. And it's very funny when you think about
20:05
that too. Remember when Mitch McConnell announced that he was
20:08
stepping down as the Senate Majority leader, and everybody was like,
20:13
finally we get rid of this rhino. And when the
20:16
vote happened to replace miss McConnell and it was John
20:19
Thune who got the vote, you heard those same Republicans say, yes,
20:23
we got somebody in there that's gonna get Trump's agenda passed.
20:26
Speaker 2: And now a few months.
20:28
Speaker 1: Later or a year later, those same people are questioning
20:32
whether or not John Thune is actually Macga. He's starling
20:39
Trump's agenda, he won't get to Save America Act passed
20:45
Renie Scott Pressler to go in primary that rhino. What
20:52
are you guys gonna realize that it doesn't matter how
20:56
much you interchange these senators, these representatives is not gonna
21:01
change because somebody on the outside while they're running for
21:04
office could easily call themselves a Maga Republican, and then
21:09
when they get into the office that they're running for,
21:12
they can easily shed that Maga Republican skin and go
21:15
back to what you guys perceived to be a rhino
21:21
and the whole thing about Rhino Republican in name only.
21:27
You gotta ask yourself this question if you're someone who's
21:31
on the MAGA wing of the Republican Party. Has the
21:34
Republican Party changed or were maga's core beliefs never in
21:42
line with the traditional Republican Party to begin with? Because
21:45
think about how many people who've had to do a
21:47
complete one pint eighty since Trump has gotten into power.
21:51
Lindsey Graham is a prominent example of that. When Trump
21:54
ran for president the first time. Lindsey Graham was a
21:58
never Trumpery. Look, Lindsey Graham ten years later is one
22:02
of the main senators singing the praises of Donald Trump.
22:06
Think about how many cable news pundits were never Trumpers
22:10
and now are singing the praises of Donald Trump. Mark
22:12
Levin is a name that comes to mind, because they
22:17
realize that the only way to save their own behind
22:20
and the only way to gain favor or to curry
22:24
favor with the White House is to act like they've
22:28
always been on the Trump train. And one thing we
22:31
know about Donald Trump is that he never forgets those
22:34
people who were never in lockstep with him from the
22:37
get go. That's the reason why he's endorsing Burt Jones
22:42
for Governor of Georgia on the Republican side, because Jones
22:46
was the first member of the Georgia legislature to endorse
22:49
Donald Trump when he ran for president the first time.
22:54
Speaker 2: So think about that.
22:58
Speaker 1: So when we take a look at this current political
23:02
system in this country, it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat,
23:07
it doesn't matter if you're a Republican, doesn't matter if
23:09
you're an independent, or it doesn't matter if you have
23:11
no party affiliation to begin with, if we all took
23:16
the blinders off, and if we all realize that this
23:20
system is screwing us over, I think we do a
23:22
better job of moving forward together than divide it. And
23:28
that's how they want us. I don't know if you
23:30
guys have paid attention to that, but that's how they
23:32
want us. They want us at each other's throats because
23:35
we're easier to manipulate when we're divided. When we're arguing
23:39
with our neighbor because they got a Trump sign in
23:41
their yard or because they had a Kamala Harris sign
23:44
in their yard, we're easier to be controlled that way
23:51
because we're not focusing on what they're doing to continue
23:55
to hurt us. We're focused on our neighbor. That's the
24:02
reason why they were never gonna ban TikTok, because they
24:05
know that as long as they can keep people's attention
24:08
on TikTok and diverted away from what they're doing in DC,
24:11
they can continue to beat us over the head and
24:15
strip away vital freedoms that we hold dear and notice,
24:25
with this whole AI Data Center debate, it goes back
24:30
to what I said earlier about how Republicans feel about
24:33
people that complain about the war and gas and grocery prices.
24:37
When you have people that come forward and say, hey,
24:40
we don't want these data centers in our community. They're loud,
24:44
they stink, they take up all the natural resources. Guess
24:48
what they say to you, Hey, we hear you, but
24:49
we see gona build it anyway. We know these things
24:55
take up a lot of energy, we know that they're
24:58
eye sores. We know all these things, but we don't
25:03
care because we're gonna bill them. And to appease the community,
25:10
they'll try to throw out, well, this is gonna be
25:11
able to in a certain community, give some jobs. Because
25:19
when you see these things being built, you see how
25:21
many people are on these construction sites.
25:23
Speaker 2: They're massive.
25:26
Speaker 1: How do I know because I live in a city
25:29
where an AI data center is currently being constructed, and
25:34
I pass by it three four, five, six, seven times
25:37
a week.
25:37
Speaker 2: I've lost count, and it's huge.
25:43
Speaker 1: The amount of people that are at that construction site
25:45
on a daily basis is astronomical. But you have to
25:52
feel for those people in that community because they're gonna
25:55
see their energy prices and their water bill prices skyrocket
25:59
because not of what they're doing in their own home,
26:01
but because of what's being sucked up by that data center.
26:10
Speaker 2: Where was it Utah?
26:13
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank Notoriety for those of us
26:18
that are less than thirty years old, he's trying to
26:23
build an AI data center in Utah, and those people
26:27
in that community, they were like, we do not want
26:29
this AI data center in our community, and he basically
26:31
gave them the middle finger, and it's now going to
26:33
be constructed.
26:38
Speaker 2: They're everywhere.
26:41
Speaker 1: You have to be blessed to be in a community
26:44
where there is no AI data center because those things
26:51
they're not going to be as beneficial as most people
26:55
claim that they're going to be. And just look at
26:59
AII as a whole. How many times have you googled
27:03
something recently you get the AI answer, and then you
27:07
go and Google it again for yourself and you see
27:09
that the AI answer wasn't nearly as truthful as the
27:12
main answer that you were looking for.
27:16
Speaker 2: I mean, how many.
27:17
Speaker 1: People in school have tried to use chat, GPT or
27:22
open Ai only to then have their teacher or at
27:25
the college level, their professor say, you know what, we
27:29
know that you chat GPT your way through school, So
27:32
we're gonna take back your diploma. We're going to take
27:35
back your degree because you didn't earn it the right way. Now,
27:42
have I fallen victim to googling something and just going
27:45
with the AI answer.
27:46
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm not gonna sit there and lie.
27:50
Speaker 1: But most times when I google something, I want to
27:53
make sure that the answer that I'm getting is the
27:55
factual answer. And we live in a time where now
27:59
fact trullness is always under attack. Especially when you're someone
28:06
like myself and you're a massive overthinker. You already doubt
28:11
everything to begin with, but when you find something and
28:15
you read it, you're constantly asking you say, okay, is
28:17
this true?
28:18
Speaker 2: Or is somebody playing with my mind? Again?
28:23
Speaker 1: If you're someone out there and you want to know
28:26
how it feels to be an overthinker, let me put
28:29
it to you this way. Your mind is constantly running.
28:33
You're never at peace with anything you hear. It gets
28:39
to the point where you constantly need reassurance about the
28:44
simplest of things, and even when you constantly get those reassurances,
28:50
you're still not convinced by the reassurances. And it's that
28:59
way when it comes to getting information via AI.
29:08
Speaker 2: So when we take a look.
29:11
Speaker 1: At where we're going, I think it's important for us
29:15
to understand that we're on a sinking ship and it
29:21
doesn't seem like there's going to be enough life jackets
29:24
and boats to get everybody back to safety, or in
29:28
this case, to get everybody back to sanity, because those
29:33
people who are so dug into their political ideology, they're
29:36
the ones that are not going to be able to
29:39
be rescued because they're so dug into their side of
29:46
the aisle to where they can't see that being dug
29:50
into their side of the aisle is what's destroying them.
29:56
I mean, you have some people that would quite literally
29:58
tell you I'm a Democrat till I die. I'm a
30:01
Republican til I die. And it slowly but surely is
30:05
killing you, whether you want to admit it or not.
30:08
Those politicians that you hold in such high regard don't
30:11
care about you. They don't care about your well being.
30:14
They just get up there to tell you something to
30:15
make you feel good about where you're at. When you
30:22
watch Seeing In and you see Mark Kelly, you see
30:27
Alyssa Slot, can you see Jasmine Crockett. You see all
30:30
these Democratic stars, and you have people that all sit
30:33
up there and just fun over these people. Oh God,
30:37
bless Mark Kelly. We love Jasmine Crockett. Keep fighting for truth?
30:43
Speaker 2: What I mean? What?
30:46
Speaker 1: And then you turn over the Fox News and you
30:48
get the Pete hexxfs and Tulci Gabbert and Marco Rubio
30:54
and all these people, and they're like, keep exposing the
30:59
deep stuf. Hey, Mark Rubio, keep fighting President Trump. I'm like,
31:02
oh my god, are y'all serious? Like, please tell me
31:07
that y'all are not serious. Y'all are actually sitting up
31:10
here believing that these people are actually fighting for the
31:13
common good. And you actually still have some people who
31:17
are thoroughly convinced that Donald Trump is fighting the deep state.
31:24
It's kind of hard to fight something that you're a
31:26
part of, you know, Like it would be kind of
31:32
ironic to hear somebody who's committed a murder say I'm
31:35
gonna help the community find out who's been doing these
31:37
killings when he's the person that's been doing the killings.
31:42
Make that make sense? And speaking of Tulsa Gabbert, it
31:48
was reported on yesterday that was actually reported on Friday,
31:53
pardon me that she is leaving her position as Director
31:58
of National Intelligence because her husband is dealing with a
32:03
raw form or rare form of bone cancer. Now, I
32:10
will say, in that particular case, blessings and prayers should
32:14
be sent out to Toci Gabbert and her husband during
32:16
this difficult time. But due to the conspiratorial world that
32:21
we live in now, there are a lot of people
32:23
who are thoroughly convinced that Toci Gabert used this opportunity
32:27
to step away from the Trump administration because of her
32:32
continued disdain with the administration's handling of the Iran war,
32:36
when she basically said last year that there's no credible
32:40
evidence that Iran is a rinching uranium to build a
32:43
nuclear weapon.
32:47
Speaker 2: So a lot of people.
32:48
Speaker 1: Think that she's using her husband's bone cancer diagnoses as
32:52
an escape to leave the Trump administration without fanning the
32:55
flames further. I'm gonna leave that one alone because I
33:00
have some strong opinions about that, But we'll have to
33:04
dive into that a later time. The news of her
33:07
resigning is two days old. I'm give it some time
33:10
before I really peel that onion back on that. Speaking
33:17
of the White House. Yesterday, it was reported around five
33:25
six o'clock somewhere in that area that a gunman near
33:29
the White House opened fire and he was taken down
33:34
by the Secret Service. Now think about it, This comes
33:40
a few weeks after someone tried to storm the White
33:45
House correspondence dinner to kill nearly everybody in the Trump administration.
33:51
And it's very ironic that that was the first time
33:54
in his entire presidency that Donald Trump went to the
33:57
correspondence dinner.
34:00
Speaker 2: And it's very ironic.
34:03
Speaker 1: That Donald Trump this weekend was supposed to have been
34:07
at his son's wedding, but chose to come back to
34:10
the White House because allegedly there is some peace deal
34:15
in the works to end the war to run find
34:20
that to be a bunch of coincidences, because I do.
34:25
And then once again, this latest attempt on his life,
34:29
because let's be honest, we all kind of know that's
34:31
what the gunman was probably trying to aim for. It
34:35
gave Donald Trump the ammunition to come out and say, hey,
34:38
this is why we need to build the ballroom at
34:42
the White House.
34:45
Speaker 2: And let's be honest, even if.
34:50
Speaker 1: There was no kerfuffle about the funding for the ballroom,
34:55
it probably wouldn't be ready in time for the end
34:58
of Donald Trump's urn. Whomever the next president of this
35:02
country is going to be would likely be the beneficiary
35:06
of said ballroom, and not the person who continues to
35:10
claim that for one hundred and fifty years they wanted
35:12
a ballroom at the White House. I'm gonna say this.
35:26
Do I believe that there are credible threats on the
35:28
life of the president, Absolutely, but these last two attempts
35:35
seem pretty ironic in a lot of ways. The shooting
35:40
that happened in Butler at that rally, you have people
35:46
that are starting to look at that a little bit
35:48
differently because there are just some things that are not
35:53
adding up the way that they should. And yet you
35:59
still have so many people that want to believe that
36:04
he's fighting every day to take down the deep state
36:11
once again, a deep state that if you made me
36:14
put money on it. I believe that he in some
36:17
ways is a part of So what do we learn
36:27
today something that we should have already known that these
36:32
politicians don't care. They continue to show that they don't care.
36:39
They have no regard for you and I for the
36:42
things that continue to ail us for the things that
36:45
continue to keep us up at night because they know that, hey,
36:50
the average citizens problem is not my problem. They don't
36:56
grimace when they go to the gas pump because you
36:58
and I are the one that pay them their salaries.
37:02
They don't grimace when they go to the grocery store
37:05
because once again, you and I pay their salaries. They
37:09
don't worry about sending their children to college because it's
37:15
not their fight to worry about. That you and I's
37:17
fight to worry about when it comes to sending our
37:20
own children to college.
37:25
Speaker 2: And it's a very summer time when you think about it, too, because.
37:30
Speaker 1: At least where I live, graduation season wrapped up on Friday,
37:37
And on one hand, you want to show that you're
37:39
proud of the graduates, whether it be high school graduates
37:44
or college graduates. But on the other hand, you know
37:48
that the real world that they're about to walk into,
37:50
especially high school graduates, the real world that they're about
37:54
to walk into is not going to be as easy
37:56
as the guidance counselors made it out to be, that
37:59
the teacher made it out to beat. I'll just go
38:03
to college, get a degree, get you a good job,
38:06
and everything can be fine, But how many stories have
38:09
we been seeing and viewing on different platforms of people
38:14
who've gone to college, gotten degrees, and can't find work.
38:22
The best route for anybody that's just leaving high school
38:27
would be the trade route, because truth be told, AI
38:34
can't replace an h VAC technician. AI can't replace a plumber.
38:40
AI can't replace truck drivers. You're not gonna have somebody
38:45
Ai've given you a haircut. The trade route is the
38:52
best route, especially if you're someone that doesn't mind getting
38:57
your hands a little dirty every day, if you don't
39:01
mind coming home in your clothes being dirty every day.
39:07
But the traditional route of hey, just go to college,
39:11
get a degree, and hopefully something lines up for you.
39:14
Those days are not plentiful as they used to be.
39:19
And I don't mean to sack anybody's dream. But the
39:23
thing that you're always gonna get from me is a
39:25
perspective that's rooted in realism. Because I can't afford to
39:32
come on here and be fake and try to paint
39:34
this rosy picture of what life is going to be like,
39:38
because it's not a rosy picture that I can paint
39:40
at the moment. Once again, is not to take anything
39:47
away from anybody that's just graduated. But you gotta understand
39:52
that the life you're about to walk into is not
39:54
going to be as easy as the one you've just lived.
40:00
You know, the only thing you have to worry about
40:02
mostly when you're in high school was just getting a
40:04
part time job, so that way you could learn a
40:06
little responsibility. So that way you could learn how it
40:09
felt to pay a bill on your own. That way
40:11
you could learn how it felt to keep gas in
40:14
your car. You could learn how it felt to buy
40:18
your own stuff when you went back to school. But
40:22
as this thing gets more serious, you will understand that
40:27
maybe everything that I was told in high school wasn't
40:32
all that was cracked up to be. And not to
40:35
say that your teachers and guidance counselors lied to you,
40:37
but they left out some details that you're gonna need
40:40
in order to survive the next chapters of your life.
40:52
It's getting real out here. It always has been real,
40:55
but it is getting real out here now. And you
40:59
got to ask yourself, at the end of the day,
41:01
are you built for the times that we're about to
41:05
go into Because a lot of people, if you're just
41:08
being honest, they're not built for what we're about.
41:10
Speaker 2: To go into.
41:12
Speaker 1: Because if this thing continues to go the way that
41:15
I think is gonna go, if the dollar continues to
41:18
lose value, if food insecurity continues to become widespread, if
41:25
jobs become harder and harder to get, and if basic
41:31
necessities to get us through life continue to get more
41:34
and more expensive, are you truly going to be ready
41:40
to deal with going without some of the things that
41:44
you're going to need. Are you going to be willing
41:47
to sacrifice your wants to take care of your needs?
41:55
Because at the end of the day, what's the point
41:58
of walking around with a million dollars? That million dollars
42:00
every single day continues to lose value. Now, hopefully everything
42:09
I just said turns out not to be true, but
42:13
given where we're at with a political class that doesn't
42:17
care about you and I, things are going to get
42:20
worse before they get better. And with that being said,
42:25
ladies and gentlemen, that'll wrap up today's edition of the
42:27
Igarius Williams Show. I want to thank you guys once
42:30
again as always for listening, however and wherever you choose
42:32
to listen. Until next time, you guys, stay safe, take
42:35
care of God. Bless we are out peace,
