Why the globalists keep losing and still won’t let go · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

0:04
In this political Coliseum, we slay the rising
0:07
beast with the fateful sword of truth that
0:11
transcends hypocrisy and censorship.
0:16
It's time to unleash yourself from the tyrants
0:18
of media propaganda on the America Outloud Talk
0:20
Radio Dev.
0:26
This is Unleashed the Political News Hour.
0:32
This is Unleashed the Political News Hour on
0:34
the America Outloud Talk Radio Network.
0:37
I'm Chris Cordani, your host for this edition
0:38
of the show.
0:40
In just a few moments, we're going to
0:42
be talking to our panel from Project Sentinel.
0:44
Find us out at ProjectSentinel.com.
0:46
We have a lot to discuss.
0:48
And yes, you can find us on AmericaOutloud.news
0:50
and wherever you get your podcast.
0:52
This is the America Outloud Talk Radio Network.
0:56
Once again, I'm Chris Cordani.
0:58
I'm not exactly sure why adversarial nations and
1:02
losing nations seem to think they can negotiate
1:06
a losing cause from a position of power.
1:10
It's absolutely mind boggling to me.
1:14
After reading Iran's peace proposal.
1:18
First off, this is not a peace proposal.
1:20
These are a list of demands.
1:22
So its leadership won't just act out anymore.
1:25
Or at least for the foreseeable future.
1:28
Who do they think's in charge?
1:29
Barack Obama?
1:31
Do they think Joe Biden's in charge of
1:33
the Autopen Administration?
1:35
Donald Trump laughed at all of this and
1:37
said it was garbage, which by the way,
1:39
most American taxpayers would say it is.
1:42
Trump is not going to appease the Iranian
1:45
uh leadership, if you will, the mullahs there,
1:48
just like Barack Obama did, giving them all
1:51
the power they never had by freeing up
1:53
six billion dollars to let them enrich their
1:56
uranium.
1:59
I do believe they were on some kind
2:01
of uh secret par together, but we can
2:03
talk about that at another time because there
2:06
is a need for much more of that.
2:08
Let's just get to the peace proposal.
2:10
And again, I'm using that in a loose
2:11
sense.
2:13
So, in an ill deserved list of demands
2:15
coming from an ill-deserved sense of grandeur and
2:18
power.
2:21
Iran wants the U.S.
2:23
and Israel to end hostilities on all fronts,
2:24
including Lebanon.
2:26
This is the list.
2:28
Wants the U.S.
2:29
to get rid of all the forces from
2:31
areas close to Iran.
2:33
That's not going to happen.
2:35
Somebody has to keep an eye on them.
2:37
Aaron, get this.
2:38
They want the liftings of sanctions on Iran.
2:41
That's not going to happen.
2:42
Release of Iran's frozen funds.
2:45
Oh no, no.
2:45
You see, they call it that.
2:48
This money was frozen because it was used
2:50
or it would have been used for nefarious
2:52
gains.
2:54
And the gains themselves, the funds themselves were
2:56
questionable.
2:59
They want the U.S.
3:00
to end the marine blockade on Iran.
3:02
That can be done.
3:05
That's part of a peace settlement.
3:06
That's fine.
3:07
But that of course would be on the
3:08
U.S.
3:09
terms.
3:10
But it but get this.
3:12
Iran.
3:13
Still in that, I guess Zelensky-ish sense of
3:17
entitlement from again, a position of no power,
3:21
no leverage, and holding zero cards.
3:25
Maybe the uh insurgency card, that's about it.
3:28
They want the U.S.
3:29
to give Iran reparations for the destruction caused
3:31
by the strikes.
3:35
And of course, there's no way they're going
3:38
to uh give Israel reparations for Hezbollah's strikes
3:41
and Hamas' strikes, and believe me, and their
3:44
own strikes on Israel, because first off, we
3:47
all know Iran's funding these people.
3:50
They were doing the dirty work for a
3:51
long time, and yes, they did some missile
3:53
launching on their own.
3:55
If anything, the peace deal should have Iran
3:57
giving the reparations out and reimbursing us for
3:59
the service we gave to the rest of
4:01
the world.
4:04
There's no way on is no way in
4:07
any reality that a decent president of this
4:11
country would even think about giving reparations to
4:14
Iran.
4:17
You cannot let these Muslim nations, these theocracies
4:19
in the Middle East walk all over the
4:21
U.S.
4:23
We already know that since the uh birth
4:27
of this nation, the Islamic forces, the Islamic
4:30
nations' Islamic leadership has consistently lied and attacked
4:33
American interests.
4:36
From the Barbary Pirates on forward.
4:40
Say what you want about the war.
4:41
I'm not a big interventionalist guy, but I'm
4:43
not naive.
4:45
Iran was a threat, is it oh yeah,
4:47
was a threat, I guess, is still kind
4:49
of an annoyance.
4:51
China's the real target here.
4:53
They're a huge threat, and of course, uh,
4:55
as Donald Trump meets with President C last
4:57
week.
4:59
The idea was, hey, now we're coming from
5:01
a position of power.
5:03
The Democrats are not in charge anymore, and
5:06
with the uh with the rules being set
5:08
straight, the election rules being set straight, the
5:10
Democrats won't see power for a very long
5:12
time unless they give up their uh their
5:14
socialist wing.
5:17
And so they hang these people out to
5:18
dry, make them a fringe like the Green
5:19
Party.
5:21
Iran will not win a PR war against
5:23
the American people, at least the ones who
5:25
know what's going on, who pay attention.
5:28
Those who are seeking or fantasizing about a
5:30
Kamala Harris presidency.
5:33
Um, they were they're here to doom the
5:34
country anyway, so they would be happy with
5:36
Iran being powerful.
5:39
These people would be happy if their own
5:40
neighborhoods were bombed.
5:42
If it's all for the cause.
5:44
At this point, most of the people who
5:45
vote Democrat don't even know what the cause
5:47
is.
5:49
As our Project Sentinel panel is waiting in
5:51
the green room, I want to say stop
5:53
into America Outloud.shop.
5:55
Maybe you'll find some interesting stuff there that
5:57
could very well enhance your life.
5:59
And if you want a nice snack, check
6:00
out the bear bar.
6:02
Yes, it's uh it's savory, it's crunchy, it
6:04
doesn't taste like a wet book like a
6:05
lot of these uh nutrition bars do, and
6:07
it actually is, and it really is good
6:09
for you, as six grams of protein, no
6:11
soy.
6:13
We know what that does to guys, and
6:15
and women too, by the way.
6:17
And no gluten.
6:19
So if you're a gluten-free person, you want
6:20
to brag about that, great.
6:22
This will help you there.
6:23
And you won't get soy face, but you
6:25
will have a nice nutritious snack, nothing that'll
6:27
give you that sugar high and then a
6:29
disappointment a few hours later.
6:31
No, this is real energy, it's real nutrition,
6:33
and it's real taste.
6:35
That's the bear bar.
6:36
Or as the cowboy that does the commercial
6:38
says the bear bars.
6:40
I like him.
6:40
He's cool.
6:41
Check it out.
6:42
It's AmericaOutloud.shop.
6:43

a cancer diagnosis.

7:18
It revealed a hard truth.

It revealed a hard truth.
7:20
Even healthy people can get cancer.

Even healthy people can get cancer, and much
7:22
And much of modern medicine is reactive, not
7:23
of modern medicine is reactive, not preventative.
7:24
preventative.
7:26
So I began asking a different question.
7:26
So I began asking a different question.
7:28
What can we do daily to support?
7:28
What can we do daily to support the
7:30
body before something goes wrong?
7:32
That question led me to formulate SHILED.
7:35
SHIELD is a two-part nutraceutical system designed to
7:38
support immune balance, antioxidant defense, and cellular health,
7:41
a chemical-free cocoa mix and soft gels containing
7:44
medicinal mushrooms, turmeric, green tea extract, olive leaf,
7:48
berberine, and black seed oil.
7:51
Prevention is power.

Have you been looking for a healthy snack
8:01
for on the go?
8:03
Well, not all energy bars are soft and
8:05
sugary.
8:07
Bear bars are a crunchy savory bar made
8:10
from just six simple natural ingredients.
8:14
Bear bars are plant-based, organic gluten-free, contain six
8:16
grams of protein and are low temperature dried
8:19
for unique crunch.
8:22
Most energy bars are based on chocolate or
8:25
fruit and are held together with syrups or
8:27
sweeteners.

Well, did you see Google quietly updated its
9:24
AI principles removing its pledge not to use
9:27
AI for weapons or surveillance?
9:30
A promise they agree to in 2018.
9:33
Well, the American people have seen Google's track
9:35
record.
9:36
Prompt in the question is Google an untrustworthy
9:39
player in the AI race.
9:46
Now is our time, my fellow Americans.

America Outloud.news.
9:52
Liberty and justice for all.
10:00
Unleashed the political news hour continues here on
10:02
the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network.
10:04
I'm Chris Gordani, your host for this edition
10:05
of the show.
10:07
And as promised, as we move forward, we
10:09
have our panel from Project Sentinel.
10:12
Navy Captain Pete O'Brien is with us.
10:15
And we also have a former Lieutenant Colonel,
10:18
retired Lieutenant Colonel, uh Tim Wilson, British Intelligence
10:20
and President of Project Sentinel with us.
10:23
I have to get these titles straight when
10:25
it comes to president, uh chairman, distinguished fellow,
10:26
and everybody.
10:28
Things Project Sentinel's making some great leaps and
10:30
changes, but uh, we're also here to talk
10:32
about what's really going on.
10:34
The globalists gentlemen have taken a severe beating
10:37
once again over the last several severe beatings
10:40
since Donald Trump took office, but over the
10:42
last few weeks, again, they're they're losing.
10:45
And now, and now the EU is going
10:48
to take another punch to the gut if
10:51
Poland commences with poll exit.
10:54
Yep.
10:55
It'll be a really good thing to see
10:57
if it does happen.
10:58
It's interesting as well, uh, just by the
11:00
way, that the globalists don't give up even
11:02
when they've taken a loss.
11:04
Um, Poland is quite serious about potentially pulling
11:07
out of the EU because the EU is
11:10
doing nothing except get in their way and
11:12
impose rules and laws that are basically meant
11:15
to shut up any uh objectives.
11:18
Um they don't have a First Amendment over
11:19
there in Europe.
11:21
Meanwhile, in Britain, of course, where free people
11:24
are being jailed for their thoughts, unspoken thoughts,
11:27
even praying in public silently can get you
11:29
arrested and thrown in jail.
11:32
And Starmer, who just took the biggest beating
11:36
in British history in terms of losing control
11:39
of local government at the council level, um,
11:42
is got his allies already talking about maybe
11:46
rejoining the EU.
11:50
Never mind the will of the people who
11:51
voted to get out.
11:53
Well, there you go.
11:54
Pete, I want to get into this with
11:55
you too.
11:56
Check this is a problem.
11:58
All these globalists work their best to go
12:00
against the will of the people.
12:03
They used to be able to manipulate us
12:04
enough, a slight majority to say, hey, you
12:06
know what?
12:08
Majority rules, we're gonna go this way.
12:11
Now, with more people standing up to them,
12:13
they find ways procedurally to keep control.
12:16
They find ways to try you again, yes,
12:18
use the media to try to manipulate, but
12:20
no, hey, wow, now that more people are
12:22
against us, we have to find other ways
12:24
to sneak our policies through.
12:27
Brexit was popular.
12:28
Now the uh Starmer wants to re-enter the
12:30
EU.
12:32
This is crazy.
12:34
Well, I I think it's important to remember
12:37
um that despite what most people uh in
12:40
government say, um they don't really believe what
12:43
they say.
12:46
There's a there is a a long string,
12:49
perhaps 6,000 years old, of people getting into
12:51
government and then deciding they know better than
12:54
the rest of us.
12:56
And and uh, and certainly that's the case
12:59
uh with the globalists who very clearly want
13:02
to tell us what the right answer is.
13:06
And and uh they don't believe, they don't
13:08
believe in representative government, uh they don't believe
13:10
in democracy, they only use those kind of
13:12
words.
13:14
And uh and and that that really is
13:17
the most dangerous part about them is that
13:20
they is that they don't believe in any
13:23
of those words that we're all that we
13:25
all learn as kids and we and and
13:28
most of us internalize and believe.
13:31
And and so what you have here is
13:33
a bunch of people who, when when you
13:34
reduce it to its minimum, is they're power
13:36
hungry.
13:38
Tim, you know as well as I do,
13:40
Pete, you know as well as I do
13:43
that uh the conservatives are in in the
13:45
UK, obviously, are labor light at this point.
13:47
They are globalists.
13:48
So what I found significant of the several
13:51
of the beating that the labor party took
13:54
in the UK with all these local elections
13:56
at the Scottish National Party and the Reform
13:59
Party were the ones that uh made the
14:00
Significant significant advances for the there is almost
14:01
significant significant advances for the there is almost
14:03
no trust now for the conservatives.
14:04
no trust now for the conservatives.
14:07
Well, why would why would you trust any
14:07
Well, why would why would you trust any
14:08
politician?
14:08
politician?
14:10
Because basically, we're here in America too.
14:10
Because basically, we're here in America too.
14:13
We're getting examples of politicians who say, oh,
14:13
We're getting examples of politicians who say, Oh,
14:15
well, what I said when I was campaigning,
14:15
well, what I said when I was campaigning,
14:18
I uh everybody knows I didn't mean that.
14:18
I uh everybody knows I didn't mean that.
14:20
That's just hamburger way out.
14:20
That's the spamberger way out.
14:22
They lie to get into office and then
14:22
They lie to get into office, and then
14:24
they lie while they're in office.
14:24
they lie while they're in office.
14:25
Why should there be any trust?
14:25
Why should there be any trust?
14:27
They haven't done anything to earn any trust.
14:27
They haven't done anything to earn any trust.
14:29
Yeah, I mean, yeah, exactly right.
14:31
Uh uh, you know, I I don't need
14:32
to go far here.
14:34
Here's sitting here in Virginia.
14:35
Uh the governor uh ran on a program
14:38
on a platform of affordability, and the first
14:41
thing that happens uh when she takes office
14:44
is uh she starts putting out new taxes
14:47
and and making things less affordable, you know.
14:51
So look what Governor Hochle did when she
14:53
when she uh when she was shortly after
14:56
COVID when uh Governor Cuomo said, No, we
14:59
cannot pull off these uh we cannot do
15:02
his congestion pricing in New York City.
15:04
People, even though it was his baby, he
15:06
thought we can't do this because it's tone-deaf
15:07
people are having trouble affording it.
15:09
Governor Hochel said when she ran for for
15:11
for this office, she goes, uh, don't worry,
15:13
I'm not gonna do that.
15:15
We're we're gonna end congestion pricing.
15:18
Month after she gets into office, bang, there
15:19
it goes.
15:21
And pricing's happening, we're gonna set up for
15:23
about a month from now.
15:25
Yeah, and it was it was on there,
15:27
they lie to you and they lie, and
15:29
they they will go against your interests, even
15:31
though they know if they say something and
15:33
tell you they're they're they're or or tell
15:35
even even people on the road side that
15:37
they're they're fighting for their interests, they're not.
15:39
And on the road side still will punch
15:41
themselves in the throat every time by voting
15:43
for the same people.
15:45
Yep.
15:46
Isn't it fascinating?
15:47
Well, uh, two things.
15:48
I want to take it back to Poland,
15:52
where the crisis that is happening there, whilst
15:55
the Polish president is visiting President Trump in
15:58
the White House, is that uh President Narraki
16:01
uh vetoed the Digital Services Act.
16:04
Now, the Digital Services Act in Europe was
16:07
supposed to um decide basically it was governments
16:11
deciding what you can post online, deciding what
16:14
you can share online, deciding what is true,
16:18
and and deciding what you're allowed to think.
16:22
And then I take that kind of thought
16:25
process, and I look at the problems that
16:27
we have in America, and the biggest problems
16:30
seem to be in the inner cities, and
16:33
they're all the ones that are the worst
16:35
are quite frankly the inner cities that have
16:38
been democrat-controlled for decades.
16:42
What is it that people can't learn that
16:44
you cannot believe these democrat politicians, and they
16:47
are just going to tax you and tax
16:49
you and tax you until you have to
16:51
leave.
16:54
Well, actually, the people that vote Democrat think
16:56
they're gonna tax other people.
16:59
Well, here I mean there's a fascinating thing
17:00
here.
17:02
Um you know, it's it's it's uh now
17:05
a number of years ago I had a
17:08
chance to uh do some work um in
17:11
information warfare with some very talented people who
17:14
are um uh basically army reservists, but in
17:17
fact, in their real in their real lives,
17:21
they were Madison Av admin.
17:24
Uh, you know, go back and look at
17:26
the television series.
17:28
But some of these guys were just terribly
17:30
bright, and um, and one of the things
17:31
that they talked about was how do you
17:33
convince somebody to do things?
17:35
And in the end, information warfare is really
17:38
about convincing somebody of you know what you
17:40
want them there.
17:43
You're you want them to see what you
17:44
want them to see.
17:45
Okay, so you're trying to convince them of
17:48
something, and and really that's what advertising does.
17:52
Advertising is trying to convince you to you
17:53
know buy Coca-Cola or buy Pepsi kind of
17:55
thing, right?
17:57
And and the the admin would talk about
17:59
um this there's sort of these two gradations
18:02
uh that they're searching for one is loyalty
18:05
beyond price.
18:08
That's sort of the the best thing you
18:11
get to in a uh in a product,
18:13
and that's the we all know these people.
18:16
We all have friends who will only drink
18:18
Pepsi or only drink coke, and it doesn't
18:20
matter what the price is.
18:21
I mean loyalty beyond price, and that there
18:24
isn't there is actually a level beyond that,
18:26
uh, that it really has to do more
18:29
with politics and and culture and social uh
18:32
interaction, and they refer to it as royal
18:34
loyalty beyond reason.
18:37
That it the idea that you can stand
18:40
up and say you could show somebody, you
18:42
know that the emperor has no clothes, and
18:44
they won't believe it, they will not believe
18:46
it.
18:48
That's true.
18:50
A prime example is a lot of a
18:52
lot of leftists or people on the left
18:54
who voted for Barack Obama were on board
18:56
with his immigration stance.
18:58
Barack Obama was a and by the way,
19:00
so was at the time, Schumer and uh
19:02
and the like, they were all hey, we
19:04
have to close up the borders.
19:06
We can't have a nation without borders.
19:09
Not long after, shoot, open the borders, willy-nilly,
19:11
let them all in.
19:14
And Trump says the same thing Barack Obama
19:15
says.
19:17
This is a Barack Obama policies, including the
19:19
kids in cages, by the way.
19:21
But but and all of a sudden, these
19:23
people are just again loyalty blind loyalty, no
19:26
question, no questions asked.
19:29
Yeah, they just turn against the very policies
19:31
they voted for only a few years ago.
19:33
Right.
19:34
I am a great fan of doing your
19:36
own research on your own politicians whenever you
19:38
might be required to vote.
19:40
It would be nice.
19:41
And one of the questions always to ask
19:42
if you get the chance to meet these
19:44
guys is what have you actually done that
19:45
benefits me?
19:48
And I've yet to meet a politician in
19:50
New York that can actually say, Well, I
19:52
help with this, and it you it cut
19:55
your cost.
19:58
I mean, you know, my my favorite subject
20:00
at the moment is property taxes, and the
20:02
way that that property tax is basically the
20:04
government saying you don't own your property, the
20:07
government owns your property, you are just renting
20:09
it.
20:12
And whenever we want to, we will put
20:13
the rent up.
20:15
We will call it a reassessment.
20:17
You will get no money in your pocket,
20:18
but you have to pay more money to
20:20
us.
20:22
Yeah, that's that is taxation, really is theft.
20:25
Yeah, it's it's you'll own nothing but you'll
20:26
like it.
20:28
Even if you own it, you own nothing,
20:29
but you'll like it.
20:30
Well, that's right.
20:31
That that that's sort of the key here
20:34
is this issue of ownership of private property,
20:38
um, has basically been usurped by by government.
20:41
Uh and I would I would add a
20:43
line from John Adams.
20:45
Uh John Adams, uh 200 and some odd
20:48
years ago, uh, made the made a fascinating
20:50
statement.
20:53
He said that Western civilization can be in
20:55
a very real sense reduced to two key
20:58
principles.
21:01
One is the right to contract, the other
21:01
One is the right to contract, the other
21:03
is private property.
21:03
is private property.
21:05
Yeah.
21:05
Yeah, and whenever you see the government start
21:06
And whenever you see the government start to
21:08
to come up with new taxes, what they're
21:10
come up with new taxes, what they're doing
21:11
doing is they're undermining that issue of private
21:14
is they're undermining that issue of private property.
21:14
property.
21:18
And and uh in and it it in
21:18
And uh in and it it in sense
21:20
sense it undermines the society.
21:20
it undermines the society.
21:23
So the idea really, if you if you
21:23
So the idea really, if you if you
21:25
could figure out some way to do this,
21:26
could figure out some way to do this,
21:26
is to get it a a constitutional amendment
21:28
of some sort.
21:28
is to get it a constitutional amendment of
21:30
some sort that definitively limited government's ability to
21:33
tax.
21:35
And that that sounds simple, but it's a
21:37
very complex thing.
21:38
It's been tried and tried, and it's a
21:40
very difficult thing to do.
21:41
But it is something that needs to be
21:42
looked at again and again and again.
21:44
And it's one of these things we keep
21:45
going back to is you can't give up
21:46
the fight.
21:48
You have to figure out some way to
21:50
limit uh the government's ability uh to uh
21:52
as Tim so accurately puts it, charge you
21:55
rent for things you own.
21:57
Um and uh you know I don't I
22:00
don't have the right answer to that yet.
22:02
I except to except a constitutional amendment that
22:05
somehow limits overall amount of taxation that the
22:08
collective government, federal, state, and local can charge.
22:12
And you know, we already have there is
22:14
supposedly no double taxation.
22:16
Well, that's right, there is not supposed to
22:17
be right.
22:18
But we can gentlemen, there's a fan.
22:21
There's a fascinating book.
22:22
Uh actually, I've read his whole series of
22:23
books.
22:24
A fascinating gentleman who passed on a while
22:26
ago is uh name is Martin L.
22:28
Gross.
22:28
I used to listen to him on the
22:29
Bob Grant show when he put out a
22:30
new book.
22:31
One of the many books he put out
22:33
was the tax racket, government extortion from A
22:34
to Z.
22:36
And this is the 90s, okay.
22:37
So they've come up with new ideas since
22:39
then.
22:40
One of them was all these, like you
22:42
were saying, Pete, all these taxes, they find
22:44
ways to create new taxes or fees or
22:45
whatever you want to pay for.
22:47
The big one of the big jokes in
22:49
the book was uh, I guess he was
22:51
discussing New York City taxes for people who
22:53
stay in a hotel room.
22:55
There's like a whole they they had the
22:57
room charge, and then somebody complains by saying,
22:59
Well, the room charge was this, but how
23:01
come you're making me pay this?
23:03
This is a high it's a much higher
23:05
number, and they start explaining all the taxes
23:06
there.
23:08
He looks at the bill and he sees
23:09
and then towards the bottom, he sees bed
23:11
tax.
23:12
There's actually there was actually it's actually a
23:14
bed tax in New York City, and you
23:16
gotta ask, you know what?
23:18
If I stay at a hotel room and
23:19
sleep on the floor, do I still have
23:21
to pay the bed tax?
23:23
Yes, nobody in place.
23:27
Yeah, that's what he said.
23:28
Ever saw a tax they didn't like, right?
23:30
And they will tax everything accounting that's now
23:32
going on.
23:34
Uh, you know, Gavin Newsom has famously just
23:37
put through another balanced budget.
23:40
The only problem is everybody knows it's the
23:41
same.
23:43
He's produced a balanced budget every year he's
23:45
been governor, and it's never yet been less
23:48
than two billion and uh more than his
23:50
balanced budget.
23:53
Gavin is uh Gavin is bankrupting California, and
23:56
yet he's popular there.
23:59
And if I if I can add something
24:01
in here, because people will say uh, and
24:03
they say it all the time, well, we
24:05
have to have some taxes because we have
24:07
to run the government.
24:09
Well, I suppose that's true, but the question
24:11
is is how much?
24:13
Yeah, and uh there's been a good deal
24:16
of research uh done on this.
24:19
Um there was a fellow named Arthur Laiden,
24:21
is he's still alive, Arthur Laffer, uh, who
24:24
came up with a with a very simple
24:26
way of describing, if you will, the problem,
24:29
and that and the the way of describing
24:31
it is what he's called the laffer curve,
24:34
is now called a laffer curve.
24:36
He is as he said, he didn't invent
24:38
it, it's been around for decades and decades,
24:39
centuries.
24:40
But here's a here's the very simple uh
24:43
uh thought process.
24:45
If you charge zero percent in tax, you'll
24:47
collect no taxes.
24:50
If you charge 100% in tax, in fact,
24:52
you'll collect no taxes because people will simply
24:54
stop working because they're not getting anything.
24:58
Right.
24:58
So someplace in there, someplace between zero and
25:00
100, uh, you maximize the amount of revenue
25:03
you take in.
25:05
Now the question people say, well, it'd be
25:06
50 percent.
25:08
No, actually it wouldn't.
25:09
Uh people stop working hard long before they
25:11
hit 50 percent.
25:14
And and the number has been researched again
25:17
and again and again, and and has routinely
25:20
come out as the total taxation package that
25:22
that an individual faces uh maximizes the total
25:25
amount of revenue at some place between 12
25:28
and 15 percent.
25:31
Yep.
25:32
That and in the the other side, the
25:34
other side of that figure is that at
25:37
12 to 15 percent total taxation, you maximize
25:39
the size of the economy.
25:42
The people are doing best when the total
25:44
tax package is between 12 and 15 percent.
25:47
What that means is that if your total
25:49
tax package tax package is above 15 percent,
25:51
you're not as effective, you're not as efficient,
25:54
you're not getting as much money as the
25:56
government would want.
25:59
So in virtually every case, you can go
26:01
back and say we need to reduce taxes
26:04
if we want to have more revenue to
26:06
make roads, build a common defense system, blah
26:09
blah blah, all filling all those blanks.
26:11
If you reduce the taxes and leave them
26:14
there, it'll take a couple of years to
26:16
sort out, but if you reduce the total
26:18
tax package facing every individual, we wind up
26:21
with more money.
26:23
We all wind up with more money to
26:25
the government.
26:26
And we saw that in Trump's first term,
26:29
where he where he cut the overall tax
26:32
burden, the Republican Party went with him in
26:35
Congress, and the economy was going gunbusters, and
26:38
then there's a whole variety of possible uh
26:40
conspiracy theories that would point out that COVID
26:43
came along at a very convenient time for
26:46
China.
26:50
Um and for the and for the globalists,
26:53
yep, and for the democrats, yes, yes.
26:56
Uh and I would also, as a further
27:00
example of what Pete is saying, point people
27:04
to education taxes, school taxes, which are paid
27:08
through property taxes in most places, not everywhere.
27:12
You know, that's the nice thing about America.
27:14
Nothing is completely um unique, or there are
27:17
states that handle things uniquely, and they tend
27:21
to do much better.
27:24
But my point is this New York state
27:27
has huge proper uh school taxes.
27:31
We're spending tens of thousands per student, and
27:34
what are the students getting out of it?
27:37
Oh, the lowest reading rate in the lowest
27:39
rate of literacy in the hundred years.
27:42
Oh no, yeah, but they're they're getting great
27:44
DEI programs, and they're learning how to play
27:46
the privilege game on our dime.
27:48
Well, I'd rather they learn underwater basket weaving
27:50
for that price.
27:54
You know, it is one of one of
27:56
the great myths of uh big government, and
27:58
this has been a myth, you could probably
28:00
A myth.
28:00
guess this has been a myth since the
28:01
You could probably guess this has been a
28:03
uh uh the pharaoh Zozor asked for a
28:03
myth since the uh uh the pharaoh Zozor
28:05
pyramid to be made.
28:05
asked for a pyramid we made.
28:07
Um that more money will fix the problem.
28:07
Um is that more money will fix the
28:09
problem.
28:12
There are a few cases where in fact
28:12
There are a few cases where in fact
28:14
that's true, but the but in fact the
28:14
that's true, but but in fact, the more
28:17
more money you throw at a problem, what
28:17
money you throw at a problem, what usually
28:20
usually happens is it gets substantially worse.
28:20
happens is it gets substantially worse.
28:23
And education is a good example.
28:23
And education is a good example.
28:26
The uh United States.
28:26
The uh United States, uh, back in the
28:29
50s and 60s when we were actually cranking
28:32
out better students, better product, if you will,
28:35
uh than we than we do today, and
28:37
all the tests do confirm that.
28:41
Uh the United States was spending substantially less
28:44
on education writ large.
28:49
And this is all this is probably private
28:50
spending.
28:52
We spent substantially less on education uh than
28:55
we did on national security.
28:59
About 1973, 74, depending on how exactly how
29:01
you measure it, the two lines crossed.
29:04
Yep.
29:05
We started spending more on education than we
29:07
do on national security.
29:09
We are now spending, all told about twice
29:11
as much on education as we are on
29:14
national security.
29:17
All those ads that uh in and commentary
29:19
from the 70s and the 80s and into
29:21
the 90s that uh you know we're spending
29:23
too much in defense and the schools are
29:25
all starving.
29:27
That's all nonsense.
29:28
Yeah, schools have propaganda far too much money
29:31
for the product they're producing, and and they
29:34
keep insisting on more money.
29:36
And and in therein lies a tale.
29:39
That the the fact of the matter is
29:41
the schools would do better if they all
29:44
went on a diet, they all all get
29:46
cut back on their administrative overhead on all
29:48
these extra goodies, and they focused on you
29:50
know the simple stuff like reading and writing
29:53
and arithmetic.
29:55
Here's a tactic they pull in.
29:57
We have to go to break after this,
29:58
but a tactic they've been pulling, at least
30:00
in my local area was well, if you
30:02
cut the property taxes or and you cut
30:04
the taxes to schools, and then you're gonna
30:05
have to cut out the arts and and
30:07
and music programs.
30:09
And nobody really wants that because I do
30:11
agree that they're they're they're essential.
30:13
But what they don't tell you is well,
30:15
we really need our we really need our
30:16
our touchy-feely programs.
30:18
We need to make sure that uh we
30:20
have our uh we we pay people to
30:22
come in and teach uh our teachers how
30:24
to be uh let's just say inclusive, they're
30:26
DEI inclusive, or not not say the wrong
30:28
thing and make sure they're the pronoun training
30:30
is still there.
30:32
That stuff costs a lot of money.
30:34
The DEI budgets for these school districts, and
30:36
even the political correctness budgets they had before
30:38
the actual title DEI, they cost a lot
30:40
of money.
30:43
It's called the uh DEI industry, at least
30:44
that's what I call it today.
30:46
There's a whole economy based on that, and
30:48
a lot of that comes from public funds,
30:50
including where your property tax money is going
30:52
to towards uh towards schools.
30:54
Uh I just I I just say Pete
30:56
nailed it when he talks about the administrative
30:57
overhead.
30:59
Right.
30:59
I mean, we're having schools where um parents
31:02
are having to chip in for plain notebooks
31:05
and pencils for their kids.
31:08
But if you look at the ratio of
31:10
administrators uh now to teachers, it has shut
31:12
up.
31:15
And I I live in a smaller rural
31:17
upstate New York county.
31:20
The three highest paid in uh government employees
31:24
in the county, uh the county judge, which
31:27
I understand that's linked to federal rights, but
31:31
the the school superintendent.
31:35
Oh where's his rating on success?
31:38
When we, you know, in my county, my
31:40
I every time I see him, I just
31:42
say, got anybody into Harvard yet.
31:44
Oh, I I have the same kind of
31:45
person.
31:46
I have this, we have uh a leadership
31:48
here that's uh again administration pay is very
31:50
top heavy.
31:52
That's where you can also trim the fat.
31:54
Well, you have high we have the teachers
31:56
in middle school and high school actually paying
31:58
money and not being able to write it
32:00
off to help tea had to get visual
32:03
aids or help help their kids learn something
32:05
or put some again.
32:07
The uh this superintendent we have in in
32:10
the school district here, Middletown uh New York,
32:13
her lone her own real accomplishment, if you
32:16
want to call it that, is uh having
32:18
it is calling every student in that district
32:21
scholars and dressing up all the problems, the
32:24
crime there, kids not feeling safe, uh the
32:27
education system there because you're not the obviously
32:30
math and uh math and science aren't being
32:32
taught as or aren't being favored as much
32:35
as uh let's just say these DEI programs
32:38
and these uh and making sure everybody feels
32:41
good, uh the equal outcome education stuff.
32:44
So she calls everybody scholars, you know, not
32:46
all these kids are scholars that could be
32:48
if you took some time and and maybe
32:50
took some resources and taught them, but you
32:51
can't just label somebody like that, put a
32:53
bunch of DEI seminars in there and say
32:55
you're doing your job and to pay for
32:57
it.
33:00
We gotta go back as well to the
33:01
thing you you you've hit a very good
33:02
point.
33:03
Not everybody is set up is made to
33:06
be a scholar from the beginning.
33:09
There are an awful lot of plumbers and
33:12
electricians potentially, and schools don't teach that.
33:16
Um on this hand, you you can learn
33:17
a work ethic from school, and and students
33:19
and schools don't teach that anymore.
33:22
Yep, exactly.
33:23
They don't teach ethics, they don't teach morals,
33:24
they don't teach accurate history.
33:26
When I was younger, the biggest fear was
33:29
for my my teachers to either send a
33:31
note home that I had to give to
33:34
my parents or else, or call my parents.
33:37
Yeah, that was nobody wanted that.
33:39
But nowadays, nowadays the kids and the parents
33:42
run the school.
33:44
The teachers are afraid of these uh uh
33:45
of calling the parents because they know they're
33:46
not going to get any support for the
33:47
most part.
33:49
That's not true of every parent, by the
33:50
way, but it's true of a whole larger
33:52
number than when I was younger.
33:55
And they might get represent reprimanded by the
33:56
administration.
33:57
But I mean, the the amazing thing here
33:59
is is not only do they do they
34:00
not do all they aren't doing the basic
34:02
things.
34:04
We you know, reading reading and writing comprehension
34:06
is way down, yeah.
34:08
And if you call them markable, how bad
34:10
it's gotten.
34:12
You call them scholars, they are, and that
34:13
clears everything up.
34:15

That's at PRJ underscore Sentinel.
37:46
That's right.
37:46
There we go.
37:47
Uh off air we talked, Tim, and you
37:49
brought this up.
37:52
This ties in because people fall for all
37:54
the political jargon.
37:57
They fall for these uh whatever these politicians
37:59
say, and they know we even know they're
38:02
lying, but people there are plenty of people
38:05
blindly follow whatever party they've been following for
38:07
years because we have a dumbed down nation.
38:10
Part of this is yeah, and part of
38:12
this is sitting here what we talked about
38:14
with the education, but part of this is
38:17
sitting here with what we're discussing now, or
38:19
when we want to discuss in this particular
38:21
segment, where we're watching the governor of Virginia
38:23
come in, lie to everybody, go full commie
38:25
on the way out and wonder why she
38:27
is not able to change a constitution that's
38:29
of the constitutional law that's been sitting there
38:31
for a very long time on her own.
38:34
Yep.
38:34
Right.
38:35
It's one of those things where once again,
38:38
it's a similar topic.
38:40
Um, we all know that politicians lie as
38:42
easily as they breathe, but there's no consequence
38:45
for it.
38:47
Now, if you lied to your parents when
38:50
you're a small child, there's usually some form
38:53
of consequence, but somehow we are unable to
38:55
chase down politicians who lie.
38:58
And I my personal feeling is very strongly
39:01
that Governor Spanberger knew that she was trying
39:05
to pass an unconstitutional act over the constitution
39:09
against the constitution of Virginia.
39:13
And as the governor, surely there ought to
39:15
be some accountability for that.
39:18
And my suggestion is a very simple one.
39:21
Somebody should be able to take her in
39:23
civil court and say, because you did an
39:25
act you knew was unconstitutional, and it has
39:28
been stated as being unconstitutional by the Supreme
39:30
Court of Virginia.
39:33
You are personally liable for the legal fees
39:35
incurred by the state.
39:38
That'll be nice.
39:39
You're talking 70 million plus dollars at this
39:40
point.
39:43
She uh she took a losing battle, something
39:45
she knew she was going to lose to
39:47
begin with, hoping to wear the other side
39:50
down to get her way that way.
39:52
But she she did it because she didn't
39:53
have to spend the money.
39:55
She just took taxpayers from 70 million dollars.
39:58
That is absolute government waste.
40:00
Yep, right there.
40:02
Oh, and I and I would I would
40:04
like to make sure everybody uh out there,
40:07
radio land understands what what happened here.
40:10
Uh the Commonwealth of Virginia has a constitution.
40:14
The Constitution, and this is this is what
40:16
applies to the federal constitution and all the
40:18
state constitutions.
40:20
Constitutions have precedent over legislative acts.
40:24
So if the legislature, whether in Richmond or
40:28
in Washington, D.C., the federal legislature passes a
40:31
law that is counter to uh what the
40:34
constitution says, uh, the law isn't valid.
40:37
Now in the particular case here, the constitution
40:41
of the Commonwealth of Virginia very clearly states
40:44
what the process is if you want to
40:47
change the constitution.
40:51
And that the referendum was that was held
40:53
was really was an effort to change the
40:56
way uh districts are set up in the
40:59
state, which is stated specifically in the constitution.
41:02
So they're they're violating the process.
41:04
The process to change those was ignored.
41:07
So it didn't matter what the what the
41:09
referendum said or what the what they wanted
41:11
the new constitution to say, what mattered was
41:13
they violated the process before they even got
41:15
there.
41:17
And so everything they did after they start
41:19
violating the process has to be thrown out.
41:22
Yep.
41:22
And that's and they went ahead and did
41:25
that, and then a uh Supreme Superior Court,
41:27
the Supreme Court of the state of the
41:29
Commonwealth of Virginia, uh, which by the way
41:31
is not a very conservative uh Supreme Court.
41:34
Um that that court uh looked at and
41:36
said, flat out, wait a minute.
41:39
That you violated the process.
41:42
You can't this is a non-starter from day
41:44
from from Word One.
41:46
And that's that now we're left with this
41:48
confused mess, and as folks have said, millions
41:51
of dollars in expenses, and and they kind
41:53
of shrug and go off, go back to
41:55
doing whatever the hell they're else they were
41:58
doing.
42:01
Well, they're trying to push yet another element
42:01
Well, they're trying to push yet another element
42:02
of law fair on it.
42:02
of lawfare on it.
42:04
They still don't want to accept the result
42:04
They still don't want to accept the result
42:06
of their own supreme court.
42:06
of their own supreme court.
42:07
Right.
42:07
Right.
42:08
I tried to go to the Supreme Court
42:08
They tried to go to the Supreme Court
42:10
of the United States, who quite rightly said
42:10
of the United States, who quite rightly said
42:12
this is a state's matter on the state's
42:12
this is a state's matter on the state's
42:14
constitution, and the highest court is the Supreme
42:14
constitution, and the highest court is the Supreme
42:15
Court of Virginia on this matter, and you
42:15
Court of Virginia on this matter, and you
42:17
lost.
42:17
lost.
42:20
Tough luck.
42:20
Tough luck.
42:21
But where's the where's the accountability?
42:21
But where's the where's the accountability?
42:24
You know, that's the problem.
42:25
That's the problem.
42:26
We do not, we are not good as
42:26
We do not, we are not good as
42:28
a country at holding.
42:29
a country at holding our politicians liable for
42:31
the lies they tell.
42:34
Yeah, and and and it's important to remember,
42:35
no one has a right to their to
42:36
their office.
42:38
They were voted in, and if they they
42:39
fool around in office and they do things
42:41
we don't like, we have a right to
42:42
throw them out.
42:44
Yeah.
42:46
Sometimes it needs to happen before the next
42:47
election, Pete.
42:49
You know, there are there are egregious examples
42:52
of stealing, if you know, theft, corruption, call
42:54
it what you want.
42:57
Any of those.
42:58
They make a lot of money out of
43:01
being politicians, and one should always ask where
43:03
that money comes from and where it goes.
43:06
Right.
43:06
If there's if there's no there is no
43:09
better way of uh fingering uh someone who
43:11
who's not doing something quite cricket when folks
43:14
go into office, they're getting paid whatever it
43:17
is, 200,000 a year, and somehow after four
43:20
or five years they emerge and they're multi-millionaires.
43:23
Uh that's you know, that all leaves me
43:24
ahead.
43:26
Some of them with hundreds of millions of
43:28
dollars in just you know, less than 10
43:30
years, right?
43:31
It is how and and you can tell
43:34
because a lot of them are voting against
43:36
the principles they say they ran on.
43:39
This isn't true of every politician.
43:40
You're gonna have a few outliers like uh
43:42
uh I'll even say Rand Paul has been
43:44
a straight shooter all these years, right?
43:47
Right, yeah.
43:47
Uh I I Thomas Massey's getting a lot
43:49
of criticism, but for the most part, the
43:51
guy sticks to his guns, and then you
43:52
have this other guy Fetterman, who doesn't seem
43:54
to care what the uh deep state is
43:55
telling him to vote for anyway.
43:57
I mean, he votes deep state, but at
43:59
least he'll speak up once in a while.
44:01
Yeah, no, he's got principles and he sticks
44:02
to them.
44:03
I mean, the the morals and ethics, the
44:06
whole thing there would now that we're starting
44:08
to see you know the the data is
44:11
going to be released if it hasn't been
44:13
already on the sexual assault claims on members
44:15
of Congress and the the millions and millions
44:18
of dollars in payoffs that have happened.
44:21
Why is the taxpayer having to pay that?
44:23
Why are these people once they're accused not
44:24
booted out?
44:26
Where's the ethics committee actually doing its job?
44:29
Right.
44:32
Yeah, again, those are political appointees anyway, aren't
44:33
they?
44:36
Yeah, well, we've got we've got the Fox
44:38
guarding the hen house.
44:40
Exactly.
44:41
You know, the same same as they set
44:42
their own pay.
44:44
That should never happen.
44:45
My just quickly on that.
44:47
My vote is my my suggestion would be
44:49
they get paid the national average wage for
44:52
their time in Congress, they get paid the
44:54
national average wage.
44:57
It's then in their interest to make that
44:58
increase for everybody.
45:00
And if you can't do that, they shouldn't
45:01
be there.
45:03
It would it would also drive them to
45:05
consider spending less time in Washington, DC.
45:08
Well, they yeah, well, they need to be
45:09
in Washington pretty much, they have to do
45:11
their jobs, and a lot of that has
45:12
to be in Washington, a lot of that
45:14
has to be at home.
45:15
The the issue I would have is for
45:17
them if you pay them a lot less
45:19
and they have to maintain two homes, they'll
45:20
be more susceptible to bribes and being owned,
45:22
and that's the other edge edge of that
45:24
sort.
45:26
Because I I like to say, hey, we
45:27
should pay them less.
45:29
They say they get paid a good amount.
45:31
250 years ago, it worked, they were not
45:34
there year-round, but they went back to their
45:37
farms, they went back to their businesses, right?
45:41
And there was a whole lot less problems
45:43
than there are now.
45:45
They're also a lot younger.
45:46
Well, keep in mind back then, a lot
45:49
of a lot of private businessmen, farmers or
45:51
or lawyers would just would consider the time
45:53
maybe four to eight years at 12 in
45:55
public service, and they leave, they go back
45:57
to the private sector.
45:59
We've developed career politicians.
46:01
We have we have career politicians, and I
46:03
hate to say you pay them less than
46:05
for the national average.
46:07
They're gonna they're just gonna take any bribe
46:08
they get because they're gonna they have to
46:10
go to these parties, they have to be
46:11
at the gallas.
46:13
No, they don't.
46:14
Oh no, they think they don't.
46:15
I'm sorry, this is their mentality.
46:16
I'm talking from their point of view, it's
46:18
their mentality.
46:19
They have to be out there.
46:20
Why do they have to have a second
46:21
home in DC?
46:22
Are we not into the video era?
46:25
Does Zoom not work or whatever?
46:28
I have a solution work for businesses.
46:30
No, I have a solution.
46:32
I have a solution, and it'll cost a
46:34
little bit at this point, which will just
46:36
offset a lot of this.
46:38
You want to go national average pay?
46:40
Great.
46:41
We set up dorms, yeah.
46:43
Set up dorms for Congress members, yep, right
46:45
not far from Congress, or or quick train
46:47
ride back and forth.
46:50
They could take public transit.
46:51
Hey, right, are there homeless shelters around DC?
46:54
There we go.
46:55
But the fact is we can set up
46:56
dorms for these people.
46:57
They want to live, they want to spend
46:58
their careers being politicians.
47:00
We don't want to pay them up the
47:01
rear end.
47:01
We don't have to pay for the lavish
47:03
second homes in Washington.
47:05
And you know what?
47:05
It also make make it where they'll just
47:07
want to be there when they have to
47:09
be there, so they can go back to
47:11
their own constituencies, back to their own districts
47:12
and do the bidding.
47:14
Well, in essence, we'd like to see them
47:17
do it, do the bidding of their uh
47:20
of the people that so just make sure
47:22
that those dorms are not got air conditioning,
47:25
and and and understand and understand though, up
47:27
until really world war one, uh, and and
47:30
actually by by the 30s, um, but by
47:33
before World War One, the Congressman are a
47:35
congressman who come to World with few exceptions,
47:38
guys who were rich on their own, would
47:40
come to Washington, DC, and there were three
47:43
or four congressmen living in a living in
47:45
a in a townhouse.
47:48
They'd you know, they'd they would uh all
47:50
room together, they would hang out together, they
47:52
would argue together.
47:54
Uh it they these guys didn't move to
47:56
Washington, DC and buy a big house and
47:59
and in and set up shop they did
48:01
exactly what you're saying.
48:04
They'd come in, they do their business, and
48:05
they leave.
48:06
And it wasn't until really world war one
48:07
uh kind of went a full-time government, but
48:09
as soon as the as World War I
48:11
was over, we tried to step it back
48:13
down.
48:16
Uh and it didn't, it wasn't until the
48:19
1930s, FDR came in in a very interesting
48:22
uh uh technical innovation.
48:25
He air conditioned all the buildings in Washington,
48:28
all the government buildings.
48:31
No major protests of that, and and in
48:33
and suddenly every we had a full-time government,
48:35
yes.
48:37
There's a there's a way to save some
48:39
money, just turn off the air conditioning.
48:41
Well, I've been on long, long been time
48:42
been a proponent that there should be no
48:44
air conditioning in federal buildings.
48:46
Yep.
48:47
Well, here's the funny thing.
48:49
You think you think about this?
48:50
Heavily the Democrat Party.
48:52
We we always we say they're pretty much
48:54
ineffect right now, the communist party.
48:57
But watch them over the last century plus,
48:59
they were heavily influenced by Soviets, yeah, Soviet
49:00
Influenced by Soviets.
49:01
leadership.
49:01
Yeah.
49:02
Soviet leadership.
49:03
One of them is right there, uh full-time
49:03
One of them is right there, uh, full-time
49:05
government, full time.
49:05
government, full-time.
49:07
That's exactly where uh that's a that's a
49:07
That's exactly where uh that's a that's a
49:09
communist leadership, and this is what happened.
49:09
communist leadership, and this is what happened.
49:11
Now, the Republicans leaned into this as well
49:11
Now the Republicans leaned into this as well
49:12
because hey, you know what?
49:12
because hey, you know what?
49:14
Ride the wave, you know.
49:14
Ride the wave, you know, that's right.
49:17
40.
49:17
40, yeah.
49:18
Yeah, um, from 1925 onwards, the influence of
49:18
Um, from 1925 onwards, the influence of the
49:21
the the Soviet Union was there, and uh
49:21
the Soviet Union was there.
49:24
what frightens me is how much is China
49:25
And uh what frightens me is how much
49:26
copying that and how much are they?
49:27
is China copying that, and how much are
49:29
they spending on our Congress critters?
49:32
Um, how many of our congressmen are actually
49:34
in the pocket of or at least deeply
49:36
obliged to Chinese surrogates?
49:39
Or right the American Socialist Party.
49:42
Keep in mind they've been powerful for years,
49:43
too.
49:45
They were so powerful that Woodrow Wilson had
49:47
to throw one of their guys, you know,
49:49
the guy that ran on the socialist ticket
49:51
in jail just to keep him quiet.
49:53
Go on, Pete.
49:54
No, it it I would uh never mind.
49:58
It's all good, never mind.
49:59
That's on me.
50:00
If you get it back, just come right
50:01
in.
50:03
I just had to use that one comment.
50:04
But the fact is the fact is that
50:06
it's frightening how vulnerable because these people we
50:09
know they're corrupt, some of them, maybe a
50:11
lot of them.
50:14
We know they're corrupt.
50:15
We've elected them, that's our fault, but we
50:17
accept it.
50:20
Um that acceptance is leading to outsized influence
50:24
by foreign powers in all sorts of areas,
50:29
elections and laws being passed and regulations being
50:34
passed, and you know, K Street is a
50:38
is a pass-through the lobbyist groups, right?
50:43
And and and and in fact, one of
50:47
the one of the problems here is that
50:50
in many cases uh we have uh folks
50:54
in Washington, DC, whether they're politicians or retired
50:57
uh military or defense contractors, whatever, who become
51:01
uh not simply agents of influence of foreign
51:05
power, they become unwitting agents of influence.
51:08
They don't they don't even understand how they're
51:10
being manipulated.
51:12
Yep.
51:12
Uh and and there are a great many
51:15
people in in the DC area who are
51:18
too clever by half who think that they're
51:21
very, very uh adroit, they're they're well read
51:24
and erudite and all those neat words, but
51:27
in fact uh they are being can continually
51:30
manipulated by someone else, and uh it really
51:32
speaks to the idea that's long-term staffers, uh
51:35
lobbyists, etc.
51:39
There needs to be some mechanism in place
51:42
to prevent their uh to prevent their power
51:44
from growing too great because they do become
51:47
these very strange creatures that are being uh
51:50
manipulated by others, uh, and again, as I
51:53
say, un often unwittingly, usually unwittingly, uh, and
51:56
yet they do acquire uh accrue a great
51:59
deal of uh of real authority, real real
52:02
power, real power, and surely one of the
52:05
solutions to that is that who should our
52:07
Congress critters be listening to?
52:11
Their voters, and that about they need to
52:13
get back to their districts, they need to
52:16
get back to their states, they need to
52:18
be out talking to the people that pay
52:21
for their extravagant lifestyles.
52:24
And I'm sorry, but they all do have
52:25
extravagant lifestyles.
52:28
They do.
52:28
Oh, hey, they want to go to the
52:29
big ballroom at the uh at the White
52:30
House pretty soon.
52:32
You can start complain about it, you know.
52:34
They all they're all gonna want to be
52:34
there.
52:35
So that's yeah, 2028.
52:37
Trump has now said it's likely to open.
52:39
And not taxpayer funded, by the way, like
52:41
the uh like the Virginia uh uh law
52:43
firm.
52:45
Let's clarify that one.
52:46
What is gonna be taxpayer funded is underneath
52:49
it, there is a security let's call it
52:52
a security center, right?
52:54
That should be got uh paid for by
52:56
the taxpayer, right?
52:58
But the actual ballroom itself, that is being
53:00
done by private donation arranged by Trump.
53:03
Uh the the other question is, and we
53:05
only have two minutes left, so unfortunately we
53:06
can't really delve into this, but maybe we
53:08
do this another show.
53:10
Uh, the question is, well, we do talk
53:11
about the horrible politicians we have, the lying
53:13
politicians.
53:15
Well, who in the who in their right
53:16
mind is uh on the good side is
53:18
gonna step up to uh to become a
53:19
politician or get into politics and then maybe
53:21
get out.
53:23
A lot of these people, okay.
53:24
Even the 90s, the the uh contract with
53:25
America.
53:26
A lot of these people said, Well, we'll
53:28
we'll be uh we're gonna leave after two
53:29
terms.
53:30
That's it, term limits for us self-imposed.
53:32
Two terms later, most of them stayed.
53:34
Yeah, oh well, we have to do more
53:36
things.
53:37
Yeah, okay, we knew you were lying.
53:39
Well, we're I think we mentioned it last
53:40
week.
53:42
I'm gonna mention it again.
53:42
Term limits is one big one, and then
53:45
the other one is uh a retirement age.
53:47
Yeah, if the uh if the bureaucrats have
53:49
to retire at 70, I think that's a
53:51
fair age to say politicians should have to
53:53
retire at 70.
53:55
Well, you know, you know what was fun
53:56
though.
53:57
Uh uh, there would always be somebody asking.
53:59
Remember, remember when Rush Limbo was on the
54:01
air, there would be somebody asking, hey Rush,
54:02
you should run for president.
54:04
Now all these people who uh who uh
54:06
call them up and say that I know
54:07
they like you, their favorite talk show host.
54:09
He was a smart dude.
54:10
He was he was he worked, he worked
54:12
hard, he had a great work ethic, he's
54:13
what America is all about.
54:15
But you know what he said to somebody
54:16
who really did ask him the question, and
54:18
I said, Why don't you run for president?
54:19
He goes, I don't know if I could
54:21
handle the demotion, yeah.
54:22
But good people don't get and Mary Ann
54:24
Williamson, more recent.
54:26
She got in, she tried to run for
54:28
president, Democrat Party, she comes out of the
54:30
first primary saying, Oh my god, these people
54:32
are horrible.
54:34
Yeah, no, why would a good person?
54:35
I'm paraphrasing this point.
54:37
Why would any good person want to run
54:39
for office and deal with all these people
54:41
who are the nastiest human beings on earth?
54:44
And this is what keeps good people from
54:45
running for office.
54:47
One of the things, yeah, people don't have
54:48
an appreciation of they've never uh, you know,
54:50
and this isn't necessarily a good thing, it's
54:52
a good thing they don't have the appreciation.
54:54
If you've never had any kind of real
54:56
power, where you you know, and and and
54:58
uh Tim Tim will back me up in
55:00
this.
55:02
You've been in command, uh, you're in command
55:05
and you have real power over people, and
55:07
even though it's a little thing and it's
55:10
very clearfully controlled in the military, um it's
55:12
a it's a real temptation to abuse it.
55:15
And and uh uh and when you start
55:17
seeing people who have power, we you know,
55:19
I've I had a chance to hang around
55:22
a couple of guys uh briefly um a
55:24
number of years ago, some politicians, and um
55:26
some of them are good guys, and a
55:28
lot of them aren't.
55:31
A lot of them, a lot of them
55:33
get sucked into that whole idea of power,
55:35
and and is and it is intoxicating, and
55:38
this and and so when you see folks
55:40
who are hanging out, who you know if
55:43
you're gonna you're running for a major office.
55:45
There is a there is a there is
55:48
a almost a uh you know, aisle of
55:50
the lotus eaters quality to it, where people
55:52
just want to be there, they want to
55:55
they want to be the one closest to
55:57
you, they want to be the one whispering
55:59
in your ear, and and uh it it
56:00
And uh it it draws out really some
56:01
draws out really some of the worst characteristics
56:03
of the worst characteristics of the human race.
56:04
of the human race, and and uh how
56:06
how you deal with that, you know, how
56:06
And and uh how how you deal with
56:08
that, you know, how you how you get
56:08
you how you get around that.
56:09
around that.
56:11
That's a that's an incredibly hard question.
56:11
That's a that's an incredibly hard question.
56:13
No good answer.
56:13
No good answer.
56:15
None.
56:15
None.
