  Speaker 3: It's time for The Truth Be Told with Booker Scott.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: I'm Booker Scott. Thank you so much for joining us
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: tonight and every night. If you found us on a
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: podcast later, thank you for making that extra effort. I
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: appreciate it. Coming to the program now is a guy
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: who has been here before, and I had to look
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: this up. It's been a couple of years ago. It
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: was when Ross Ulbricht was trying to get out of jail.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump came into office, and he made that happen.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: At the time, Jordan Page was working in that effort.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: He's been working on an effort in America for over
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: 20 years now. His music really had a theme against
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: what was going on in the Middle East when he
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: first started, but that's evolved as well. It gets into
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: our own liberties, and As a result of that, he
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: in some ways has attached himself or they have attached
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: their self to him, the Libertarian Party. He's been a
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: big part of that through the years. His name is
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Jordan Page. Jordan, welcome back to the program. I can't
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: believe it's been a couple of years.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Thanks for having me back, Booker. This is great. Great
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: to hear you again.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Well, you are working on something that we want to
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: talk about, and that is a movie. And I don't
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: know much about it, which is why we're here to
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: talk about it. It is a movie that is made
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: with artificial intelligence, which is something I'm very curious about,
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: and I actually wrote a book on artificial intelligence last year.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: So let's start there. What was your motivation for doing this?
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: How did it come about, and what is it all about?
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: Well, I guess the genesis of this is going to
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: be homeschooling. So my wife and I have seven kids,
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: and we've been homeschooling them for about 14 years. And
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: in 2020, she went back to get her master's in teaching.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: And during that time.
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: She discovered really what they're teaching teachers through these education systems.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And it's really, really insidious.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: Like we saw the agenda at work in the textbooks
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: and just the blatant indoctrination and just leftist wokeism from,
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: you know, the training programs for, for young teachers. And
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: my wife has been on this journey through, you know,
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: Liberty with me for, you know, the last 20 years.
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: So she's, she's not some 22 year old, you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: just fresh out of, out of college, you know, getting
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: her master's degree.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: But it was, it was really.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Sobering to, to see the, the, this dark agenda at work.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: And we were both very convicted in the spirit to
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: do something about it. And so, we, through a lot
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: of prayer and research, we decided to build a company
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: that would serve the worldwide homeschool movement to facilitate, I
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: guess what you would call the streamlining of home education
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: to make it easier for families to, um, to teach
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: their kids at home because that's a hard job.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: We've been through it. You know, we we've, we've.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: Seen every iteration of homeschooling and it is extremely rewarding. And,
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: The success of our children is proof that it was
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: worth doing. But we wanted to make this easier for
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: other families than it was for us. And so we
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: built a platform called Firefly Education Network. And that's at fireflyedu.org.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: Our mobile app is in Apple and Google Play stores.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: And you can create an account right on our website
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: and get access to all kinds of tools and resources
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: and community. that will help you to make it easier
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: to educate your kids at home.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: How is that going for you guys, Jordan? How is
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: that Firefly going?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: It's going well.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: We just launched in January, so we're still building. We
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: have a long way to go, but version one of
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: Firefly is really outstanding. We have an automated course builder
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: so that parents can create curriculum for their own kids
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: based on what their needs are and what their interests are.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: We have a translation process that will translate course videos
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: from any language into any language while cloning the speaker's
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: voice and dubbing their mouth movements to match the new language.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: So it's a very realistic presentation of you teaching something
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: in any language. We have an automated assistant slash tutor.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: We have live teleconferencing within the platform so the teachers
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: can teach live classes. We have a vast library of
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: educational materials, videos, printable downloads, and so much more. There's
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: a whole community platform, a complete social media platform that's private,
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: that we're not selling your data. It's just for homeschool
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: families to meet each other, which is one of the
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: big things. We have a whole homeschool command center called
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: Firefly Compass that provides all the organizational tools that you
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: could want to keep accurate records and plan your lessons
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: and plan field trips.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: And we have a Bible app.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: It's just a wonderful, wonderful platform that is helping a
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: lot of people. But we're really trying to reach an
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: even broader audience, which is why we made the site
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: internationally accessible through being able to translate it into any language.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: There's a button you click, you can translate the entire
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: site into every language you could want. So we're really
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: going after the entire worldwide movement, which is exploding in
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: a lot of different places outside the US.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: And to that effort.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: About two years ago, when we were really, we hadn't
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: even launched the platform yet, but we were building it
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: and we were building community around it. We had, I've been,
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: just full disclosure, I've been in the blockchain space really
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: since 2010, since it first started. I remember when Bitcoin was,
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: 33 cents. That's when I was first introduced to Bitcoin.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: I think you and I had this conversation last time
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: you were on the program because I had the opportunity
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: to buy it at 50 and I didn't.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I see. I know you feel my pain Booker.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Well, back then, you know, I was part of the
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: Ron Paul Liberty movement when Ron Paul was running for president.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: And I did a lot of, a lot of performances
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: to support his candidacy for president. And like between 2008
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: and 2012. And, we were really interested in ending the Fed.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: And the end of Fed movement was a very strong
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: movement nationwide. And we had a lot of support internationally
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: as well. And Bitcoin represented a real pathway to actually
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: ending the Fed and circumventing their power by using a
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: peer-to-peer currency. And that was very, very appealing to me
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: and all of my all of my peers. And so
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: we were using Bitcoin and trying to get people to
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: use it. I would consider myself an early adopter. So
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: to that effect, fast forward years later, you had the
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: non-fungible token NFT phenomenon that lasted for a couple of years.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: And we were interested in doing a collection of artwork.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: And so I made 3,000 Firefly images, really beautiful AI artwork.
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: And I was going to, we were going to release this.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: We still haven't released it. Well, we were going to
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: release it. And to that effort, I made six animated shorts.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: And they were sci-fi, fantasy sort of style, little animated
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: short films, anywhere between two and 10 minutes long. And
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: they had, some of the NFTs from the collection were
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: in these animated shorts. And just to showcase that, the
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: beautiful artwork and using them as plot points and plot
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: devices and set pieces.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: So Jordan, let me interrupt you real quick here. Just
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: so the audience that maybe doesn't know all the terminology
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: that you're using, you're using NFT. Tell everybody what NFT is.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: NFT stands for non-fungible token. So fungible means one is
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: like another, like one dollar is worth what another dollar is.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: One Bitcoin is worth what another Bitcoin is worth. That's
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: called Non-fungible means it has its own unique intrinsic value
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: that's subjective. So you would think of a painting as
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: a non-fungible asset.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: We used to see a lot of those. We used
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: to see a lot of those on social media. People
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: were creating their NFTs and selling them also. So what
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: is the process for making those shorts? You've got two
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: to six minute shorts. How long a process is that
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: for you and what does it take to make that?
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: You know, back then, the tools were really a joke
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: compared to what they are now. But back then, you know,
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: it might take me a few days or a week
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: or two, depending on the length. And, you know, coming
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: up with the stories, and they were all original stories
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: that I came up with. I would use programs like
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: MidJourney to generate images just based on an idea I
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: might have. And then based on that image that I got,
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: I would create a story around it. And so it
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: really was a really fun creative process when I first
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: got into working with AI image generation. And then I
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: discovered tools like Runway, ML, and Kling, and others. And
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: I was able to take those images and animate them
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: and create a workflow. Because I've been into video editing
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: for many years. And so I already had those skills
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: and continue to develop them. But then once the shorts
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: were done, I brought in a marketing guy who's now
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: become my chief marketing officer.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: He's great. His name is Damien.
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: And Damien suggested to me that I should make a
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: seventh short to tie the six shorts together. Because he said,
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: nobody has anything else like this. NFT collections really need
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: a story. They need lore. They need people to care
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: about why this collection. And so I showed him the shorts,
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: and he says, these are great. You should tie them
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: together with a seventh one. And I said, that's a
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: great idea. And so I came up with a story
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: of a man named Atlas. And as a libertarian, of course,
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: people out there would be familiar with the book Atlas Shrugged.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: By Ayn Rand.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: And I love this idea of this young man named
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: Atlas and that he would go on a quest. And
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: so in three of the shorts are character driven. One
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: of them is a superhero named Lux Ethereum. And he
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: finds the Ethereum diamond in the short, which is this
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: artifact that turns him into a superhero. And of course,
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: it's based on the cryptocurrency and blockchain called Ethereum. And
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: then there is a medieval knight named named Sir Nakamoto
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: from Trent, Sir NFT. And Sir NFT battles the creature
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: from Jekyll Island, which if you're familiar with the book
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: by G. Edward Griffin, the creature from Jekyll Island is
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: a euphemism for the bankers that met on Jekyll Island
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: who conceived of the Federal Reserve System, which is like
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: this giant octopus that pervades all aspects of society worldwide.
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: It funds every war that we're involved in. It's It
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: has created every boom and bust that we've experienced since
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: 1913 when it was instituted. And so it's likened to
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: a giant Kraken. And so I made this Kraken for
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: this knight to fight. And when he defeats him, the
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: creature releases this artifact called the Genesis Block, which is
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: a reference to the first Bitcoin that was ever mined.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: And so he's on the quest for the Genesis Block.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: And then the third of those hero-driven stories was the
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: story of Decentrales and the Solana Stone. And so Decentrales
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: is an ancient Greek hero, which is a playoff of
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: Hercules and decentralization. And he has to fight this colossal titan,
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: and he has to find the Solana Stone in the
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: middle of a labyrinth, which plays into ancient mythology. He
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: has to fight different monsters and whatnot to find the
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: Solana Stone. And so I, I took all of that.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: And then there were three non-character driven stories and before them, but,
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: but they were, but they were fun plot points and
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: I combined them all together. And as I, as I
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: did this, I realized this is a much bigger story
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: than I thought it was going to be.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: And about a month to two months.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: In, you know, I had about, you know, 30, 40
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: minutes of of story and there was just more story
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: I wanted to tell.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: And so I kept going and as.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: It grew and grew and grew, it got more and
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: more elaborate and the tools got better and the footage
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: got better. So it kept, it kept improving and I
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: ended up remaking this movie at least five or six
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: times as the tools improve because in AI animation progress
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: and in the, in like the, the technology progress, about
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: a month is akin to about 10 years in traditional
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: CGI filmmaking developmental progress.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: And so it keeps getting better and better.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: And so I've remade this film a number of times
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: to where now it's a thousand times better, literally a
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: thousand times better than when I first began. And it's
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: become this feature length film that we may honestly break
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: up into a series. We may break it up, but
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: depending on what distribution platform we end up, working with
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: if we you know if we work with netflix or
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: prime or some somebody like that we will we may
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: end up breaking it up into a series but.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Let me jump in real quick because we have gone
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: here for about 15 minutes we haven't even mentioned the
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: name of the movie the name of the movie is
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: the book of atlas the book of atlas is the
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: name of it and i want to play the first
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: part of your trailer You can go and find this
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: trailer on Vimeo, I know. It really will bring what
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: Jordan is talking about to life. I'll try to do
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: it some justice here on audio only. Of course, you
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: won't be able to see this, but maybe you can
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: get an idea of what this is all about. This
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: is the movie, The Book of Atlas.
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: Bro, are you watching this?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: In a stunning turn of events, Lux Ethereum has just
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: arrived on the scene in a.
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: Hey man, let me call you back. When I was
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: talking to you earlier on the phone, the book just
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: jumped off the shelf by itself. And I felt this,
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: I don't know, pull to pick it up.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: Okay, it says that these are artifacts from ancient times
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: that hold great power.
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: And there are old illustrations inside of creatures that look
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: just like that thing on the news. There's something else.
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: I've been having these wild dreams that make no sense.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: And there's an illustration in the book of what I
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: saw last night.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: That's insane, man. What do you think it means?
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: So there is a little taste of that trailer. Again,
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: go look for it. It's the book of Atlas. Now, Jordan,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: I interrupted you. Please keep going. Talk about making this
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: and how long it is as a feature film.
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: Well, right now, the running time is about three hours.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: And so that I know that is long. But again,
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: we're going to watch the whole film on April 19th.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: That is when the online premiere is. And then as
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: it grows and we get traction, we're probably going to
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: be breaking it up into episodes for an entire series.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of plans for it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: But the process has been really amazing in terms of
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: discovering all of these different workflows and getting people getting
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: to a point where I'm going from generating more cartoonish
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: results to more very realistic results. I mean, as time
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: has gone on and these systems have been trained on
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: more and more video, they get more and more realistic.
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: And one thing that I think has been challenging is
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: to make the characters seem more human and, and, and
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: to seem, you know, relatable. But I think we're, we're,
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: we've very much gotten there.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: There's a, there's a, I agree.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: There's a phenomenon called uncanny Valley. I don't know if
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: you've ever, heard of this, but Uncanny Valley is the
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: sense that you're seeing something that doesn't seem quite human.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: And I think it may be some sort of intrinsic
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: primal instinct that we have to identify something that is
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: not human. Maybe something in the supernatural to discern when
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: something is not right. And it gives you kind of
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: an uneasy feeling. And I think a lot of people,
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: have been flooded with AI slop all over the internet.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: And it gives them that feeling that, you know, I don't,
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure like I want to look at that,
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: but that, but people who really take the time to
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: learn how to use these tools. I mean, you put this,
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: you put these tools in the hands of a creative person,
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: you know, amazing things can happen. And I'm, I'm just
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: one of those people. And I had a story to tell.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: I wanted to tell a story about history that has
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: been forgotten. I wanted to, to, to, to teach people about,
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: you know, where, where all of these systems that control
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: their lives come from. I wanted to make a commentary
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: on society and what's happening in the world and, and,
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: and to, to be a red pill moment, um, at
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: the same time, uh, celebrating Bitcoin and crypto culture in general,
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: blockchain culture and the blockchain community worldwide.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: And, And it's really a love letter.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: To them because this community and Bitcoin in particular has
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: really changed my life.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: And I've lived on Bitcoin for many, many years.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: It's really been an important factor in my business and
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: in how.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I do things.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: So I really wanted to tell the story of how
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: that all happened and remind people in a time when
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: crypto is really getting kicked in the teeth culturally and
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: in the markets. I wanted to remind people why we
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: got into this in the first place. This wasn't about
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: getting rich. It was about subverting an evil centralized system
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: that perpetuates wars and tries to control every aspect of
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: our lives. And so this movie is very much a
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: red pill movie to that degree.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: And just really excited about it.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: And so if you go to thebookofatlas.com, thebookofatlas.com, you can
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: watch this trailer that you were just playing. And get
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: a sense of the visuals, get a sense of the
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: story and some of the characters and just like the
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: scope of it, because it's really Booker. I mean, I'm
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: telling you, this is an epic, epic story through time.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: You know, it goes back thousands and thousands of years
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: to the.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: To the present. And there's there's an epic final battle.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: One of the main themes in this is really a
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: big warning against unbridled, unchecked artificial intelligence and what can
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: happen if you give it too much power and you
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: don't put safeguards on and you don't train it in
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: the right way because the primary antagonist of the film
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: is a sentient alien AI from another world that's destroyed
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: its world. And then it escaped here and it wants
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: to do the same thing here. And so the heroes,
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: the crypto Avengers, if you will, are pitted between it
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: and its army of robotic assailants who represent centralized violence
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: and force and government They're pitted between that and the
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: creature from Jekyll Island, which is this gigantic evil kraken
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: that represents the international banking cartels. And these crypto avengers
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: are in the middle of this, having to defeat both
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: of these colossal enemies and everything that they represent. And
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: so that is really like I'm using a lot of
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: symbolism through mythic storytelling to tell a very real story
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: that has been going on and is still going on.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Incredible. The name of it is The Book of Atlas.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: And you know, my book that I released last year
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: is about sentience and artificial intelligence. I'll have to share
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: some of that with you. The name of it, The
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Book of Atlas. You can go to thebookofatlas.com. The date
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: to remember there is April 19th. That's when it's going
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: to be released online. Is that correct, Jordan?
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: That's correct.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: We have actually bypassed.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: So two things here, Booker, to this question.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: One.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: We have bypassed the Hollywood machine and taken advantage of
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: the tools that exist. And I've created a film that
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: would have cost $ 100 million to make with a small,
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: tiny fraction of that budget. And so we've bypassed their
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: permission and their gatekeepers entirely and made a film they
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: probably wouldn't have made. And then we've also bypassed all
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: of the streaming giants and we've created our own distribution
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: platform that is fully Web3 compatible and token gated to
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: where we can release any kind of digital or online
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: content through this. And with a complete secure payment system,
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: people can pay with fiat, they can pay with US
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: dollars using Square or PayPal or Venmo through the site,
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: but they can also pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: And when they do, they're actually going to receive, which is,
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: and crypto people will know what I mean when I
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: say mint, they'll mint their own movie ticket as a
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: non-fungible asset that exists on the blockchain ledger and will
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: always be theirs as a collectible. And so when they
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana, they get a non-fungible
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: movie ticket. Folks that are paying with USD still get
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: the ticket. It's just not recorded on the blockchain. They
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: still watch it, and it's the same price. So, yeah,
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: we're very excited for people to watch this and to–
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: you know, dissect it and, and, and look for all
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: the hidden Easter eggs. I mean, if you're a historian
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: or if you care about history, if you're, if you're
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: a Liberty person, if you're a crypto person, I mean,
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: like there's so many Easter eggs in here. If you're
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: just a person who understands that something's wrong with, with
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: the world, you will, I think this movie will really
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: resonate with you. And it has some really powerful messages
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: in it that I think the world needs to hear.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: And by the way, I think you just created a
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: sequel to, and that would be one of your characters
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: against Hollywood. It may take all of them against Hollywood,
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: but maybe you can do that in the future. His
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: name is Jordan Page. I know he's also working on
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: new music that has to do with worship and praise,
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: and I would love to hear that when it comes out, Jordan.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much for coming back on the program.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: I really do appreciate it. The name of the movie again,
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: The Book of Atlas. You can go to thebookofatlas.com. Look
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: for it April 19th. Jordan, thank you.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Booker.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: More Truth Be Told with Booker Scott in minutes on
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: America Out Loud.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Someone asked me the other day, how do you even
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: get a sense of what's going to happen next?
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: It's hard.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know that we can, the way the news
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: moves so fast. But you know what I told them?
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: I said, I've been checking out Poly Market a little bit.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: It's extremely insightful. You're basically watching how thousands of people
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: are betting on outcomes. Political elections, big policy moves, even
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: events you wouldn't expect. It's kind of like a live
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: pulse on what the public actually believes. And you can
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: see trends before they even happen and before they even
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: make the mainstream news. For me, it's not about gambling.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: It's about understanding the probabilities and where the momentum is shifting.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: If you like or love the news like I do,
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: maybe you're a news junkie, but you want to take
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: a little deeper look at what people really think, go
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: to Polymarket. It's a fascinating tool. Polymarket.com. I'm originally from Nashville, Tennessee.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: I've mentioned that a couple of times. When I was
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: a young child, I was in Nashville and in Brentwood,
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: just south of Nashville. And my dad, for whatever reason,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: I still to this day don't know, probably will never
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: find out. He's been dead for six years now, so
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: I won't be able to ask him at this time anyway.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe one day. Maybe, maybe one day.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: But I never found out why exactly he wanted a
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: farm because he is from Chicago. He was from Chicago, Illinois,
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: had no experience on a farm, but that's what we did.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: We bought 11 acres and it was in a bedroom
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: community called Murfreesboro, Tennessee. It's about 25 miles southeast on
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: the way to Chattanooga from Nashville. And that's where I
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: finished growing up. Elementary school, middle school, high school, even
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: went to college there. Back then it was a university town.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: Middle Tennessee State University is there. It was a sleepy
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: little town, really. It was a small community. It was
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: a great place to grow up. I loved it. And
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: I still have a lot of friends there. I still
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: follow them on Facebook. And I also follow the local
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: radio station. And that's where I'm going to go with
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: this segment. Because of the program that was on Sunday
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: night that caught my attention. Have you heard about 287G?
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: Do you know what that is, Section 287G of the U.S.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Immigration and Nationality Act? Well, it authorizes the Department of
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Homeland Security to deputize selected state and local law enforcement
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: officers to enforce federal immigration law. So in Murfreesboro, Tennessee,
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: which is Rutherford County, Which, by the way, it has
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: grown a lot since I grew up there. We moved
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: there in 1976, I believe. And like I said, it
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: was a sleepy little town. A nice little country town
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: is what it was. Now it's huge. It has exploded.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Nashville has exploded, and so has Murfreesboro and Rutherford County.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: It is now the third largest county in the state
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: of Tennessee. You have Memphis, Shelby County, Nashville, Davidson County.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: They're one and two. And then you have Rutherford County.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: Murfreesboro is number three. actually larger than Chattanooga and larger
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: than Knoxville, a couple of other big cities there in
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: the state of Tennessee. The Rutherford County Sheriff is Mike Fitchew,
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: and he has said that he would never use his
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: deputies to go after illegal immigrants. That's what he said.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: But then there was a little change in the last
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: couple of weeks there in Rutherford County in Murfreesboro with
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: this Section 287G. Sheriff Fitchew has agreed to this 287G,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: which would allow when they arrest an illegal immigrant and
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: there is a detainer for them by ICE, that they
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: will hold the illegal immigrant. To me, it's a no-brainer.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: It makes perfect sense. Why would you not be for that?
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: If this were a regular criminal, let's say that it
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: was someone that had committed murder in Montana, Would Sheriff
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: Fitchew and his deputies not hold that person for extradition
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: to Montana?
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Of course they would.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: So if you have an illegal immigrant that is a criminal,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: which at this point, that's really all Donald Trump and
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: the DHS and ICE are rounding up. They're not rounding
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: up children in schools. That's not what they're doing. They're
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: not rounding up just illegal immigrants at this point. They're
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: rounding up the criminals, the ones that have murdered, the
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: ones that have raped. That's who they're trying to get
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: off the street. For the life of me, I can't
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: understand why anyone wouldn't want that. Just because they're illegal immigrants,
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: for some reason they want to give these people a pass.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: That's what the left is saying. And when I went
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: to Facebook and I came across this story, it was
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: a live radio program in my former hometown of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: And Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Rutherford County, voted heavily for Donald Trump
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: in the 2024 election. It was 60-40. 60% Donald Trump,
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: 40% for Kamala Harris.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Close to it.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: It was a blowout. There's no doubt that Rutherford County,
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Tennessee is a red county. It is also a Donald
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: Trump county. It is a MAGA county. That's really what
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: it is. So when I came across this story and
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: this show, I was shocked at what I heard. I'm
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: going to play some of this for you because I
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: think it's important for us to understand the other perspective
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: and what the other side is saying. Because what they
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: are saying is nothing like I'm saying. I say this
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: all the time about illegal immigrants. It's time for them
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: to go. We need to get these criminals out of here.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: It needs to be done now. So when people start
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: talking the way these guys did and Really what they're
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: doing is calling Sheriff Fitzhugh onto the carpet for making
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: an agreement with the Homeland Security in this 287G. They
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: don't want their deputies to hold criminal illegal aliens in
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: their jail. But I was shocked at what I heard
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: on this local small radio station in Murfreesboro, Tennessee from
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: Ed Raymer is the guy's name who does the show
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: on Sunday night. Along with him was the Democrat National
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Committee chairman for Rutherford County. His name is Matt Fee.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: And here he is talking about what happened two weeks
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: ago when Fichu said, we're not going to do this.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: We're not going to.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Have our deputies going after illegal immigrants. And then the
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: activism that they created to get people to show up
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: to a council meeting, county government meeting, to try to
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: make their voices heard. so that the sheriff would not
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: do this agreement. Here is the DNC chairman in the
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: county of Rutherford County, Tennessee. His name is Matt Fee.
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: I think I noticed a social media post from someone
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: that said, hey, Rutherford County is now pending a 287G
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: agreement with ICE. So just so everybody knows, the 287G
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: is basically like it gives local police ability to do
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: work for ICE in, you know, either as themselves or
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: in the jail or whatever. You know, so having noticed that,
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: you know, that was the first time it had come up.
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: I don't know how long it had been pending, but
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: basically you can go to ICE's website and you can
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: see all of the, you know, law enforcement agencies that
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: are pending any kind of agreement with ICE or all
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: the ones that are actually active. And it was noticed,
• 31:26
  Speaker 9: excuse me, Rutherford County is now showing pending for a
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: warrant service officer. So I mentioned, hey, if you want
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: to say something about it, there's a public safety meeting
• 31:38
  Speaker 9: coming up on Monday. Let's go there and say you
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: want to talk about the sheriff's report. And so that's
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: how we got there. There was multiple groups involved, especially
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: Remix TN. They're like an immigrant advocacy group. Um, and
• 31:59
  Speaker 9: they did a lot of work with coordinating and getting
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: people to sign up for public comment at that meeting.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: So they go to the public meeting and they make comments.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Everybody that spoke was against this two 87 G. If
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: you go to ice.gov slash identify and arrest. If you
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: go to that website, you will see every state and
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: County and city that is involved with ICE and the
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: 287G agreement. I can tell you this. I'm looking at
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: the map now. California, Oregon, Washington, and Illinois. Those are
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: four states that have no agreement with ICE. That is
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: not surprising. You also have a little bit of Delaware,
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: a little bit of Vermont, the entire state of Connecticut,
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: the entire state of New Jersey. All of those states
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: have no agreement with ICE. which means these illegal immigrants
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: that are committing crimes and have committed crimes where they
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: came from are running free in these states, and these
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: states are doing nothing to help Donald Trump and ICE
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: get these people out of here. But I want to
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: go back to the radio show on 1450 WGNS in Murfreesboro.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Listen to the comments now from Ed Raymer as they
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: continue the conversation.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Here's the rub. At the public safety meeting... As we mentioned, everyone,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: those that spoke, all against. Now, what we're talking about
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: with ICE, we're talking about the guys that are coming
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: in with the mask, and they don't have to have
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: a reason, to my knowledge. They can come in and
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: just pick you up and take you off and, I guess,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: do what they want.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's a lie. That's not true, and I don't
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: even know why Ed Raymer on this radio show is
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: saying that. He doesn't know what he's talking about, and
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: he probably shouldn't be talking about it. Both of these
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: guys are leftists.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: They're Democrats.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: Again, in a city and a county that was heavily
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: favoring Donald Trump in the 2024 election. The things that
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: he says are important to understand from the perspective of
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: the left and what they are saying against Donald Trump
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: and the things that his administration is doing. You hear
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: him say that these ICE people are wearing the masks.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: You know, it's obvious that they watch MSNBC because that's
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: the narrative that they are teaching people over there. Well,
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: they're wearing masks. I've covered it on this show before
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: so that they are not killed. It's for their protection
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: is what it's for. Let's go back to Ed Raymer.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: He is the host of the show. Let's let him
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: run his mouth a little bit more.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Trump has given them where to do this. They're going
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: to fool around. Someone's going to get hurt. And basically,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: we don't know who these people are.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: To my knowledge, they're a bunch of thugs.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: He's talking about ICE there. We don't know who these
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: people are. Well, let me tell you who they are.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: Ed Raymer and WGNS. They are federal law enforcement officers.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: They have gone through training. They have gone through background checks.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: They are wearing masks so that other people don't try
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: to hurt them because leftist, liberal, stupid Democrats in some
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: of these cities have tried to hurt them. They have
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: doxed them. Politicians have doxed them. So why wouldn't they
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: wear a mask? They are not thugs. They are federal
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: law enforcement officials. And what you're talking about, Ed Raymer
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: and WGNS, is dangerous. You are dangerous. Not Donald Trump
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: and not ICE.
• 35:33
  Speaker 9: So here's the thing, right? We were talking about this
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: a little bit earlier before we came on the air.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: And listen how much Matt Fee uses the word right.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: I talked about it last week, about a linguistic tie-down.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: When someone isn't confident in what they're saying or they're
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: trying to sell you something, they will use right in
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: a rhetorical way. This guy has a real problem with it.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: He can't say two sentences without saying right, which is
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: a tie-down to further the conversation on something that you
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: don't know what you're really talking about and you're just
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: trying to sell something to someone.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Here he goes.
• 36:09
  Speaker 9: The agreement that was pending at the time was for
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: a warrant service officer. To my knowledge, what that means
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: is that if someone is brought into the Rutherford County
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: Jail and ICE has a civil warrant against that person,
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: then Rutherford County Sheriff's deputies can serve that warrant on
• 36:30
  Speaker 9: that person in the jail.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 36:32
  Speaker 9: Whereas before, ICE would have to come and do that themselves.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 36:37
  Speaker 9: So even though it may be, let's call it the
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: least of the bad options in these 287G agreements with ICE,
• 36:46
  Speaker 9: to me, the fact of the matter is that Rutherford
• 36:48
  Speaker 9: County is entering into an agreement with ICE. I don't
• 36:52
  Speaker 9: care what model it is. I don't care that you're,
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: you know, whether it's the one that sends deputies out
• 37:00
  Speaker 9: into the community to do, you know, task force work.
• 37:03
  Speaker 9: I don't want that one. I don't want them doing
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: anything on ICE's behalf.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you?
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: Because these are criminals that Donald Trump and ICE are
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: getting out of this country. They are bad people. These
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: are people that murdered Lake and Riley, Nungaree. And I
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: could go on, list the names over and over. It
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: happened for years. It's still happening every day. Why wouldn't
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: you want these people out of your country? Do you
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: want them to live next door to you, Matt Fee,
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Ed Raymer on WGNS Radio? You want these people for
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: your neighbors? They committed rapes. They molested children, murderers. You
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: don't know who they are. Joe Biden never knew who
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: they were. None of these people were vetted. So now
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: ICE is making an agreement with a town like Murfreesboro, Tennessee,
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: Rutherford County, Tennessee, and the sheriff there, Mike Fitzhugh. I
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: actually went to high school and middle school with both
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: of his daughters. They don't want to make an agreement
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: there in Rutherford County with that the jail will just
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: hold these bad guys that ICE has a detainer on.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: They would rather have them released onto their streets. And
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: these people think they make any sense. They think Donald
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: Trump is the bad guy, that ICE is the bad guy.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: I want you to understand this perspective because this perspective
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: is out there all over the country. If it's there
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: in a place like Murfreesboro, Tennessee, it's everywhere. Let's go
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: on with it.
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: Because it's just like what you said. You know, we
• 38:31
  Speaker 9: see these videos and reports every single day right now
• 38:36
  Speaker 9: where ICE is just disappearing people off the street for
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: almost no reason whatsoever except for the fact that they
• 38:46
  Speaker 9: have the color of their skin.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: A couple of things here. I don't recall seeing videos
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: of ICE disappearing just anybody off the street. And it's
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: not because of the color of their skin either. It's
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: because the crimes that they have committed, they are criminals.
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: I'll say it again. They are criminals. And these people,
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: Ed Raymer and Matt Fee, they are lost. They have
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: no idea what they're talking about.
• 39:11
  Speaker 9: Doesn't look like they should be here.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 39:14
  Speaker 9: Or not that they shouldn't be here, but that, you know, they're. No,
• 39:17
  Speaker 9: they don't think they should be here. They just assume.
• 39:21
  Speaker 9: They just assume that they're, you know, undocumented.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: And ladies and gentlemen, I want to say this.
• 39:26
  Speaker 9: I don't want.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: To put any words in the chairman's... of the Democrat
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Party's mouth. I don't mean to do that. But I'm
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: telling you, this bunch is dangerous. This bunch.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: He's talking about you. He's talking about Donald Trump. He's
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: talking about ICE. He's talking about everybody that would have
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: illegal immigrants taken out of this country. That's who they're
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: talking about. In a small town, well, it's grown. It's
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: bigger than it used to be, but it's still a
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: good old boy network. In a small place like Murfreesboro, Tennessee,
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: that voted for Donald Trump 60% compared to 40%, this
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: is the narrative that is being fed to that community
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: there on a local radio station. It's amazing to me.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Someone is going to get hurt. Someone's going to get killed. Now,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I know you say, oh, well, that's Murfburg, Tennessee. Let
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: me tell you something. They didn't think it would happen
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: in Washington, D.C. either, but it's happening.
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: They didn't think it would happen in Washington, D.C., but
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: it is happening. What is he talking about? Well, he's
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: talking about the National Guard coming into Washington, D.C. You see,
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: from the left and their perspective, this is tyranny. They
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: believe that Donald Trump is a dictator. That's what they
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: think about Orange Man. And you hear it here in
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: these voices of Ed Raymer and Matt Fee on WGNS radio.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: That's what they believe. That is the narrative. That is
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: the information that they are putting out. They are putting
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: out propaganda. This is not truth. This is propaganda.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: And now there's talk of Chicago. And now major cities,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: and I've been watching the news this weekend, and I know, okay,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the cable news things, I know they need something to
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: keep them on the air, but many of the states,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: now they're looking at redistricting because of the very problems
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: we're talking about right now.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: So he thinks that the leftist states like California are
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: talking about redistricting, and there's nothing to redistrict in California
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: and Illinois. They have gerrymandered those states so badly that
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: Conservatives have absolutely no voice in Congress when it comes
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: to those states because they have already gerrymandered all they can.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: The left is talking about redistricting in those states as
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: a response to what Texas is doing. It has nothing
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: to do with what Ed Raymer thinks it has to
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: do with.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: That's what's causing all this.
• 41:58
  Speaker 9: I mean, they don't want to hear from the other side, right?
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: I mean, the redistricting is because they know— No, we've
• 42:03
  Speaker 9: got people right here in this county who don't want
• 42:04
  Speaker 9: to hear from us. They know that people— are upset
• 42:08
  Speaker 9: with the way that things are going, right? The economy, right?
• 42:13
  Speaker 9: Your prices are going up.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: Where are prices going up? Where are they going up?
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: The gas prices are down. I saw that it's down
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: to $ 2. 75 now. Eggs, they're down to $ 1. 95 a dozen.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: Where are the prices going up? They get on the
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: radio and they lie. That's what they're doing. But I
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: think it's interesting perspective anyway, and I wanted to bring
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: that to you. I was really shocked when I heard it.
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: It was just by a chance that I happen to
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: be on Facebook going through quickly as I do sometimes.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: And I came across that and I wonder what they
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: were talking about. And I found out. And I wanted
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: to bring that to you so that you would have
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: an idea that even in small places, in places that
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: heavily supported Donald Trump, this is what is being said
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: by the left and the Democrats. 2026 is coming up
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: on us. It'll be here faster than you can imagine
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: for that midterm. And I really do worry about those 25,
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: 30 seats in the middle because of this type of narrative.
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: There's a long way to go between now and then,
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: and a lot can happen.
• 43:21
  Speaker 9: We pray for rain and thank him when it's falling
• 43:24
  Speaker 9: because it brings a grain and a.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Little bit of money.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: We put it back in the plate.
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: I guess that's why they call it God's country.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: More Truth Be Told with Booker Scott in minutes on
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: America Out Loud.
• 43:37
  Speaker 8: I don't know about you, but the one thing the
• 43:39
  Speaker 8: last five or so years has taught me is that
• 43:41
  Speaker 8: there's a lot, and I mean a lot, of companies
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: and services out there that don't share the foundational values
• 43:46
  Speaker 8: of this country and we the people. And I've spoken
• 43:49
  Speaker 8: to a lot of you about it who share the
• 43:50
  Speaker 8: same concerns, and you wonder where to shop, where to
• 43:54
  Speaker 8: spend your hard-earned money without feeling gross about it. It
• 43:56
  Speaker 8: can be frustrating, but here's the good news. You don't
• 43:59
  Speaker 8: have to do the research yourself, and you don't have
• 44:01
  Speaker 8: to tie yourself up in knots any longer because we've
• 44:03
  Speaker 8: done the legwork for you. At mammothnation.com, we have thousands
• 44:07
  Speaker 8: of vetted, freedom-loving, pro-America companies who actually share your values.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: So now the ball's in your court.
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: Keep spending money with companies that frustrate you and then
• 44:16
  Speaker 8: use the proceeds to fund initiatives that are in direct
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: competition with your values or be a part of something better.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I think the choice is pretty easy. Come be a
• 44:24

• 44:37
  Speaker 4: I guess most of us remember the FISA court, the FISC,
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: the FISA court. The 702, everybody was talking about that
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: for a while and what all of that was and
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: what it allowed our government to do, which ultimately was
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: to spy on a presidential campaign and that of Donald
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: Trump going back to 2016. And you have to tie
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: in the Russian hoax that we are now seeing that
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: was a hoax. And we always knew that because we
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: relied on reporting from people like John Solomon and Sarah Carter.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: Catherine Herridge at the time of Fox and went to
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: CBS and now is independent. Laura Logan. Those were the
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: people that we depended on to get our information from.
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: We assumed and we believed our discernment, our wisdom said
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: that they were right. And were they right? Well, as
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: it turns out, when it comes to the FISA abuse,
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: there were investigations afterwards in the House of Representatives. There
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: were also investigations by the Inspector General of the Department
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: of Justice. And they came to the same conclusion, that
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: there was abuses in the FISA court and with the 702.
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: I would point out that it was actually Article 1,
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: not Section 702, that allowed the FISA court and the
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: FBI to spy on Carter Page. You remember that name?
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: You have to go back in history. This is a
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: long time ago now, as we start connecting these dots
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: with what John Solomon said in a podcast. And when
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: I heard this, I literally just about fell off the
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: couch in hearing how his journey started. Because it was
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: John Solomon that went on Sean Hannity back in 2017,
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: I guess. And he did a story on the abuse
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: of the 702. And when he got home that night
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: from wherever he was, at work or whatever, at 1045
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: at night, he was met by a couple of government agents.
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: And that's the story that I'm going to get to.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: But to get there, I think we need to set
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: everything up, and we have to remember the Russian hoax
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: and the fact that it was paid for by the DNC,
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton, and even to a greater extent, it was
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: someone in the Clinton circle, Charles Dolan, a longtime attorney
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: for the Clintons, who hired Igor Danchenko to create that
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: pee story. Remember the story of Donald Trump peeing on
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: a prostitute? That was completely made up by Igor Danchenko,
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: who was later arrested by the Durham investigation. He was acquitted,
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: but he was only arrested for lying because opposition research
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: isn't a lie, but he lied to investigators is what
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: the accusation was, but the court found him innocent. They
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: acquitted him of those charges. There was also Kevin Clinesmith,
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: the FBI attorney, that he also lied. And he did
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: plead guilty to that. And he didn't go to prison,
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: but he was put on probation. So there were a
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: couple of arrests that came out of that and what
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: was the Russian hoax. But how did we find out
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: about it? Well, we found out about it through John
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: Solomon and Sarah Carter, mainly. They were on Fox News
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: almost daily. I always wondered how they got their information
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: because to me, because I believed in what they were reporting,
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: that their information was good and it was coming from
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: great sources and they really had some good sources somewhere,
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: somewhere they had some good sources. And now as Donald
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: Trump comes into office and we are seeing that the
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: Russian hoax was a complete lie, where it started, who knows?
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: It appears that it started with Barack Obama, John Brennan,
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: James Clapper, Comey, that possibly this was a whole color revolution,
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: you know, to overthrow a government. Is that what this is?
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: Was it the CIA that was involved with it? You know,
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: there's so many different ways we can go about when
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: we consider this. And then you also have to consider, okay,
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: did John Solomon actually have good information? Were we part
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: of a PSYOP? Does everything that I believe, is it
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: true or not? And that's sort of the question, isn't it?
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: We believe what we want to believe. Was I fooled?
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: Did I believe John Solomon and Sarah Carter because I
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: wanted to believe them?
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: It's interesting.
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: Let's first go to John Solomon here. Let's listen to
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: this audio. This is the audio that blew me away
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: in his experience in what happened to him on the
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: night that he first started talking about about the 702
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: FISA abuse. And we're going to get into that in
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: just a minute. But I want to get into what
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: the FISA court is in Section 702, just to refresh
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: your memory as we set all of this up. Foreign
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: Intelligence Surveillance Act is FISA. And it was enacted in
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: 2008 as part of the FISA Amendment Act. This is
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: the Section 702. It authorizes the U.S. government to conduct
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: warrantless surveillance of non-citizens located outside the United States for
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: foreign intelligence purposes. Now, this would be for things like terrorism,
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: so that we can prevent another 9-11 from happening. It
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: allows agencies like the National Security Agency to target foreigners
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: abroad and collect their communications, such as emails, phone calls,
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: text messages, often by compelling U.S.-based tech companies to provide
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: the data. So that's where some of the abuse can
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: come in. That's the slippery slope. And as you remember,
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: the 702 was up for debate, and whether they were
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: going to continue it in Congress or not, They ended
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: up passing it. I had Jason Fick on this program
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: who was suing the government and taking it all the
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: way to the Supreme Court over Section 702. Now, the
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: claim that Section 02 was abused to spy on Trump
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: campaign primarily stems from broader concerns about the FISA misuse,
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: though the specific surveillance of the Trump campaign involved a
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: different part of FISA, and that is Title I, not
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: Section 702. Former President Donald Trump and his supporters have
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: alleged that FISA was used to illegally spy on his
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: 2016 presidential campaign, particularly citing their surveillance of campaign aide
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: Carter Page. So let's go back to Carter Page real quick.
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: The FBI obtained a FISA warrant under Title I to
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: surveil Carter Page, who was working in the Trump campaign
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: back in 2016, based on suspicions of his ties to
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: Russian operatives. So they then, Comey and the FBI, who
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: went and lied before the FISA court, along with Kevin Clinesmith,
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: he was one that made a change in one of
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: those FISA applications. They were saying that he was tied
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: to Russia. So they were tying Russia in way back
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: then in the campaign in 2016. Remember the Alpha Bank
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: story that was at Trump Tower? That's a part of
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: this too. Alpha Bank, a Russian bank that had nothing
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: to do with Donald Trump. But they used that to
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: get into Trump Tower to also spy on the Trump campaign.
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: So when Donald Trump would say they're wiring Trump Tower,
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: they were wiring Trump Tower. The fact is, our government
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: spied on Americans, and our government also abused their power
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: in spying on an opposition political party and campaign and candidate,
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: and that was Donald Trump. And that's what Donald Trump
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: said from the beginning. And who was out front pushing
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: the stories was John Solomon, Sarah Carter. They were instrumental
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: in it. Real quick, if bad guys wanting to get
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: rid of the evidence, would they have not burned the
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: burned bags? Why were the burned bags left? It's a
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: question I asked last month on this program. Why did
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: they leave the burned bags if they intended to destroy
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: the evidence? Or was it the good guys, the white hats,
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: leaving information for it to be found by the Trump administration? Mr.
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: President, I will be the first to brief you. once
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: we have that information collected. But you're right, we are
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: finding documents literally tucked away in the back of safes
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: and random offices in these bags and in other areas,
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: which again speaks to the intent of those who are
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: trying to hide the truth from the American people and
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: trying to cover up the politicization that was led by
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: people like John Brennan and James Clapper and others that
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: have caused really immeasurable harm.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: To the American people and to our country.
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: Great job.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: We look forward to hearing it.
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: And we look forward to hearing it also. Real quick,
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: before we go to the break, 702 has done some
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: really good things. It's not just bad. It was used
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: by bad people and abused. But it has found terrorists
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: through the years. And I think the country needs something
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: like this. It just doesn't need bad people abusing it.
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: What it does need are good, honorable people, women and
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: men in the government who happen to realize that what
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: they are doing is trying to overthrow a presidency, an election,
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: and then create an insurrection. We need those people in
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: our government, and it appears that we have them, and
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: it appears that our wisdom, our discernment was right in
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: following John Solomon and Sarah Carter's in what they brought
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: to us as the truth.
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: There is only one truth. You've been listening to The
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: Truth Be Told with Booker Scott on America Out Loud.
