  And here's your host, Wallace Garno.
• 0:29
  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Cutting Through the Chaos on the America Out Loud Network.
• 0:34
  I'm your host, Wallace Garano, and I am coming to you from the beautiful Via del Palmar Flamingos in Puerto Viardo, Mexico.
• 0:43
  My wife and I got here about a not quite a week ago.
• 0:45
  It's getting close to a week.
• 0:46
  We're leaving after a week, so just a one-week vacation.
• 0:50
  And uh every time we fly into Mexico, I gotta tell you, it's the exact same thing.
• 0:55
  You go through customs, the very next room you go through.
• 0:58
  This might be true everywhere in Mexico, but it's definitely true in the resort town.
• 1:02
  You go through customs when you first go out of customs into the first room you're there.
• 1:07
  You're surrounded by all of these very, very helpful people.
• 1:10
  All of them want to pull you over and talk to you and help you get your taxi and help you get to your resort, make sure everything's taken care of.
• 1:19
  And what they will do is they will immediately start offering you free excursions and and free things, free bottles of tequila.
• 1:27
  They'll bring over some a shot of tequila for you to try, and they'll bring over a little mini margarita that you can sip, and they're chatting with you and being really, really, really friendly and telling you, you know, I just want to give you all of these things, and then we'll get you to your to your your resort, and everything will be fine.
• 1:42
  What they're really doing is they are trying to sell you a timeshare.
• 1:46
  Now, the people there at the airport, they're not the ones who actually sell you the timeshare.
• 1:53
  Their thing is getting you to agree to have breakfast with a salesperson at the resort that they're selling for, and uh they'll give you all kinds of free stuff.
• 2:04
  You can get tons of excursions and things or very, very little money.
• 2:07
  And the last for like $300, that's not really for the excursions, that's really for you to show up the next day because you've now got some money invested.
• 2:15
  Whole thing is very, very well orchestrated, and their intent is to sell you a timeshare.
• 2:21
  Now, my wife bought a timeshare before I met her with her sister in Hollywood Beach, Florida.
• 2:25
  And initially they had a week in January and a week in July.
• 2:29
  Well, the week in January is temporary, so for the first couple of years, it wasn't so bad.
• 2:33
  But going there the second week of July every year, we often didn't use it.
• 2:37
  And timeshares are a terrible deal if you don't use them.
• 2:41
  So the first time we went to Mexico there where we got roped into one of these things.
• 2:47
  My wife said we can't buy anything, and I said, Well, with a possible exception of if they'll take that timeshare in Florida off of our hands and give us something we could actually use.
• 2:56
  To make a long story short, we ended up buying with the veal group years ago, five or six years ago now.
• 3:01
  And then this time when we came in, we got roped in again.
• 3:04
  My wife's a sucker for this.
• 3:05
  She goes into that room, somebody's like, Oh, amigo, come over here.
• 3:08
  And then there we are talking to them, and now she's making deals for the excursion she wants to see and everything else.
• 3:15
  So we got roped into another one, and it was the same thing.
• 3:18
  Well, we're not gonna buy anything.
• 3:19
  And I said, Well, you know, if they'll take the timeshare we have off of our hands, you know, I'm open to switching one timeshare to another.
• 3:27
  I'm not open to having multiple timeshares.
• 3:30
  I actually they actually brought up when we when we were in the the sales pitch for this that the record they had is somebody came in with 14 timeshares.
• 3:37
  Fourteen timeshares.
• 3:39
  Poor guy, every time he came into Mexico, he got roped into buying another one.
• 3:43
  Well, what we did in this case is we switched through a company called Vita Group or Vita Vacations, rather, and they don't sell timeshares, which is what I found interesting about it and why we bought it.
• 3:53
  This isn't a sales pitch, by the way.
• 3:54
  I'm just telling you what happened to us here in Mexico.
• 3:57
  So we came in and uh we were gonna buy a timeshare, and they said, Well, we're not selling a timeshare.
• 4:02
  We're actually if you go through with this, we're gonna buy your timeshare off of you.
• 4:05
  Not really buy it, what they do is they they give you credit for that, then goes into the negotiations on the price of whatever it is that you're buying.
• 4:13
  Well, we bought this time is a right to use.
• 4:17
  So we don't have a deed.
• 4:18
  We don't own, usually you own a specific week of a specific vacation.
• 4:22
  You know, we used to own a place called Villa de Arco, uh, I think in May, one week of May, we had a specific unit that we had a deed for for that one week in May.
• 4:31
  Well, with the deed come association fees, or maintenance fees, whatever the particular resort calls it, and you have to pay that every year, whether you use it or not, and that can go up every year.
• 4:41
  So, you know, that's why people say they don't like timeshares because you get roped into it, have to pay the association fees forever.
• 4:48
  This new one, there's no association fees, no maintenance fees, no nothing.
• 4:53
  Once you pay off the initial contract, which was surprisingly little money, uh, you we pay to use it.
• 4:59
  They gave us five weeks, our old one in one week.
• 5:01
  Now we have five weeks that we can use every year for very little money down, and a very little money that we have to pay.
• 5:07
  The sales price was was was very low.
• 5:09
  And uh, it's kind of like having an association fee that you only pay when you use it.
• 5:15
  So once we pay off the initial the initial purchase, uh, which again was I was surprised how little it was.
• 5:21
  We only have to pay when we use it.
• 5:22
  If we don't go over five years, there's no fees.
• 5:25
  There's no association fees, no maintenance fees, no none of that.
• 5:28
  And if we if we don't like it anymore, we decide never to go again.
• 5:32
  We're out of it.
• 5:32
  We don't have to pay anything ever again once the initial payment is made.
• 5:37
  So, yes, we got roped in again.
• 5:38
  We get roped in every single time.
• 5:41
  Got a bunch of free excursions out of the deal.
• 5:43
  Well, $300 for the excursions in total.
• 5:46
  Uh, but all in all, it's a good deal.
• 5:48
  Usually we go to Cabo.
• 5:49
  This time it's the first time we decided to go to Pierto Villardo.
• 5:52
  We but we're in Puerto Villardo about 10 or 12 years ago with friends that had a timeshare and brought us along.
• 5:58
  We did not buy, and uh uh did some great things.
• 6:02
  They've got some great excursions here in Puerto Villardo, and uh anyway, having a great time.
• 6:07
  You might hear some of the festivities going on uh down by the pool.
• 6:11
  I don't know if it's getting picked up by the microphone or not, but that's where we are.
• 6:15
  And the reason I started with Mexico, believe me, it wasn't to try to sell you a timeshare or anything.
• 6:20
  Uh, if I could start over, I probably wouldn't have one.
• 6:22
  I probably you know once once you have one, it's hard not to have one.
• 6:26
  But uh, but uh if I could start over, I probably would never have gotten involved in these things in the first place.
• 6:31
  And it wasn't me, it was my wife with her sister before we were really together.
• 6:35
  So, anyway.
• 6:37
  When you go to Mexico, there are two different Mexicos that you will see.
• 6:43
  The first Mexico that you will see is, of course, whatever resort you're on, and and that you might call the rich Mexico.
• 6:50
  You might say that is it's a very nice Mexico.
• 6:53
  We're an all-inclusive.
• 6:54
  So we go down, we show our little bracelets, tell them what room we're in, and uh, we can go to any restaurant on the resort.
• 7:00
  The resort.
• 7:00
  It's all free.
• 7:00
  It's all free.
• 7:01
  It's it's not free.
• 7:01
  It's not free.
• 7:02
  We paid for the all-inclusive, but we don't have to pay anything else.
• 7:02
  We paid for the all-inclusive, but we don't have to pay anything else.
• 7:05
  Get all the drinks you want down to the pool, whatever we want, all inclusive.
• 7:05
  Get all the drinks you want down to the pool, whatever we want, all inclusive.
• 7:08
  They have some things that are an upcharge.
• 7:08
  They have some things that are an upcharge, we don't buy those, and and that's what we usually do when we come here.
• 7:10
  We don't buy those.
• 7:11
  And that's what we usually do when we come here.
• 7:14
  So this next one, they don't have an all-inclusive.
• 7:14
  So, this next one, they don't have an all-inclusive, so we either pay more money on the resort or we bring food in.
• 7:16
  So we either pay more money on the resort or we bring food in.
• 7:19
  There's a kitchen, you know, whatever the case may be.
• 7:19
  There's a kitchen, you know, whatever the case may be.
• 7:22
  But when you go on the excursions, you will go to parts of Mexico that are nowhere near the resort.
• 7:22
  But when you go on the excursions, you will go to parts of Mexico that are nowhere near the resort.
• 7:30
  The first time we came to Puerto Villarro, we did the extreme adventure, which is a bunch of ridiculously scary zip lines.
• 7:36
  One of them they call the Superman, it's more like a mile and a half.
• 7:38
  You go about 70 miles an hour on this thing head first, hanging underneath it.
• 7:43
  That was kind of crazy.
• 7:45
  That was 12 years ago.
• 7:46
  We didn't do that this time.
• 7:47
  But this time we did an ATV thing, and we'd done the ATV thing in Cabo.
• 7:51
  It was way out in the middle of nowhere.
• 7:53
  The ATV thing in uh Piorto Viarda, it's it's not out in the middle of nowhere.
• 7:58
  It's like in this river park.
• 8:00
  And you go through some really interesting communities on the way to get there, and they're interesting because one, they're very, very picturesque.
• 8:07
  It's a very, very beautiful area, mountains everywhere, you've got the sea there.
• 8:11
  So very, very beautiful area, but also very, very poor.
• 8:15
  And I bring that up because when I hear people comparing Mexico and the United States under Trump, and Mexico all of a sudden is doing really well, and and Trump is has completely destroyed the United States, and our economy is a dumpster fire, and the country is a dumpster fire, and and all of that.
• 8:33
  Well, if you only compare it to the resorts, resorts in Mexico are, of course, very, very nice.
• 8:39
  Right on the ocean, we've got an ocean view from our room.
• 8:42
  So, yeah, very, very nice.
• 8:43
  And if that's the only part of Mexico you see, you might actually believe all of the propaganda.
• 8:48
  But then you go on these excursions on the ones that are out of town, uh, whether it's extreme adventure, which is way out in the jungles, up up on up on mountains and in through valleys.
• 8:59
  That was a ridiculous one, by the way, like 350 feet up in these giant trees, and you a zip line to another tree, often going across a valley way down low.
• 9:09
  That's it's we did it.
• 9:10
  I was scared, my wife was less so.
• 9:13
  Um, we didn't do that this time.
• 9:15
  But uh, but we took the ATV one, it was it was it was still kind of out there, and and you see the poverty of Mexico, I guess is what I'm seeing.
• 9:23
  And Mexico is kind of two economies where you have the rich people economy, which as tourists you're generally a part of, and then you have the poor people economy, which is the majority of the people in Mexico, and and beautiful country, beautiful, wonderful people, they're all very, very hospitable.
• 9:40
  Everybody has been very, very gracious, as they are every time we're here.
• 9:44
  Uh, but when people say that their economy is comparable to the United States or doing better than the United States or or anything like that that you may hear, it's complete garbage, it's complete baloney.
• 9:54
  All you have to do is come down here to Piorta Villarta, to Cabo, wherever you want to go, take an excursion, it's going to take you out in the sticks, and and look at how people in Mexico live when you get away from the resorts.
• 10:07
  It's kind of like when I first went to Poland now uh many years ago.
• 10:11
  My wife and I have been together for 16 years, so it would have been about about 60, 15, 16 years ago.
• 10:16
  And uh there were kind of two economies in Poland at the time.
• 10:22
  One was the socialist economy, it was left over from communist Poland, and uh that included the health care system, for example, but some other things too.
• 10:31
  And then you had this bourgeoising free market economy that was growing independently of that, and you know, how much somebody made depended on which part of the economy they were in.
• 10:44
  Uh, a nurse didn't get paid a lot of money if they were in the socialized health care system because the socialized healthcare system didn't pay very well.
• 10:51
  But if you were a nurse in a private health care system, you made pretty good money.
• 10:56
  And it was the same thing with everything else.
• 10:58
  You had like these two economies the old poor economy, and then this new rapidly growing wealthy economy.
• 11:05
  You go to Poland now, and Poland is just doing like gangbusters, it's a beautiful country, amazing people, and uh and even even when you get outside of Warsaw, Krakow, and some of the other tourist areas.
• 11:17
  My wife's from Rodham, so we go to Rodden, which is more of a working town.
• 11:20
  It's it's still it's beautiful, great people.
• 11:22
  The wealth of that country is just exploding.
• 11:25
  You know, people now have houses like houses in the United States, and uh that wasn't the case so much, you know, 16 years ago.
• 11:32
  Now that's becoming more and more the norm.
• 11:35
  So you see this free market just just explosion of wealth in Poland, and then you know, you look at Mexico and all the corruption and everything else, the cartels and everything else.
• 11:46
  Porto Villarta, incidentally, was in the news, as you may know recently.
• 11:49
  They had some cartel activity, nothing like that going on, perfectly safe here.
• 11:54
  Uh the resort not real full, maybe because people are afraid to come, but we didn't have any issues, everything's fine.
• 12:00
  Matter of fact, I was in Cabo a couple of years ago and I actually asked the taxi driver, or it might have been a Uber, but I asked the driver about cartels and tourists, and he said, Oh, you guys are the safest people here.
• 12:10
  The cartel pull all the taxi and Uber drivers aside and tell us.
• 12:15
  You you you mess with tourism, you die.
• 12:18
  Because they don't just want money, they want access to it.
• 12:22
  We've talked about this a few weeks in a row now.
• 12:24
  Rich people don't just want money, criminals don't just want money, they also want access to their money.
• 12:30
  And to have access to it, they have to make that money legal, either by paying taxes on it in the case of rich people.
• 12:37
  You can't park it overseas and spend it, you have to bring it in to spend it, which means we have to pay taxes on it to spend it.
• 12:44
  For criminals, it means we have to launder it, and laundry money is expensive.
• 12:49
  I look at that we just bought into, and it crossed my I don't know that it's cartel owned or cartel involved, but I looked at it and I'm like, the only way they're making money on this is if they're laundry money through it.
• 12:59
  So, you know, make do with that what you will.
• 13:01
  I don't have any inside information, I don't know anything.
• 13:04
  I'm just saying it's that's it seemed like a pretty good deal, and it's a huge, huge, huge series of resorts that that it's just anyway, it's crazy.
• 13:13
  Uh but but they want access to their money, and as a consequence, they're willing to pay a certain amount to get access to it, whether that's say a 35% top uh tax rate, or whether that's I think it's about 40% is the typical rate for laundry money.
• 13:29
  And uh, you know, when it's when the rate goes above that, they they park it overseas, or the case of criminals maybe bury it somewhere, and then when the rate comes back down, all of a sudden all that money comes out.
• 13:40
  So you hear all of this about about how the United States economy is not doing well, and and about how about how uh Iran is winning the war, and about how Mexico now is a better economy than the United States, Canada's economy is exploding, Canada's the greatest country on earth, all of this garbage, and it is all garbage.
• 14:00
  All garbage.
• 14:01
  The truth is that 15 years ago the Canadians on average made a little bit more than Americans did.
• 14:01
  The truth is that 15 years ago the Canadians on average made a little bit more than Americans did.
• 14:06
  Now they make on average 60% of what Americans make, and that within a few years could be as low as 40% of what Americans on average make.
• 14:06
  Now they make on average 60% of what Americans make, and that within a few years could be as low as 40% of what Americans on average make.
• 14:14
  Canada's economy is getting decimated, and it's getting decimated by policies that do what the government of Canada wants, but at the expense of the people of Canada.
• 14:14
  Canada's economy is getting decimated and is getting decimated by policies that do what the government of Canada wants, but at the expense of the people of Canada.
• 14:24
  That's all garbage.
• 14:24
  That's all garbage.
• 14:26
  And now we have a whole new piece of garbage, which is what I really want to talk about today.
• 14:26
  And now we have a whole new piece of garbage, which is what I really want to talk about.
• 14:30
  I don't just want to talk about the economies of different countries.
• 14:32
  I want to talk about propaganda and how propaganda works and in some examples of propaganda today.
• 14:42
  For example, you may have heard in the news that the Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted on uh charges of uh I forget exactly what the with the criminal charge they have been indicted for was it's not really important.
• 14:57
  What's important is that I have to use the word allegedly here, because at this point it's just an indictment, but I've I've seen some of the evidence and it looks pretty damning.
• 15:04
  So they have allegedly been funding uh extreme white supremacy sorts of groups, such as the KKK, uh skinheads, neo-Nazis, and what have you.
• 15:17
  The Southern Poverty Law Center has been it looks like they may be the primary funding source of those organizations in the country today.
• 15:26
  That's that's how bad it is, millions and millions and millions of dollars that they have been funneling into these groups.
• 15:32
  And at first that sounds a bit weird.
• 15:34
  You would say, well, why would the Southern Poverty Law Center that supposedly is against these groups and wants to expose them?
• 15:41
  Why would they then be such a large funding source for them?
• 15:44
  And the answer is that the Southern Poverty Law Center would found in 1971 when you really did have more hatred of that sort than you have today.
• 15:56
  Um, you know, what exactly are they for today now that most of that of that extremism that that white pride, white nationalism, white supremacy, that kind of of racism.
• 16:10
  Now that that's not very prominent in our country anymore.
• 16:12
  It's actually is not much of that as a political force, it's gone.
• 16:15
  There's still racist, of course.
• 16:16
  340 million people, there always will be.
• 16:19
  But but that kind of racism is a political force hasn't really been a thing in the country since I was a kid.
• 16:26
  I remember in high school, I thought it was completely gone.
• 16:28
  Moved to Troy, found out there are still racists in the Detroit area, not so much in Kalamazoo, at least not when I was growing up.
• 16:34
  Um, but it's it doesn't have any real political power anymore.
• 16:37
  People in America are just we're we're we're past that.
• 16:41
  You know, we've normalized interracial marriage.
• 16:43
  Nobody cares.
• 16:44
  And and so when you look at it from that perspective, well, if you're the Southern Poverty Law Center, you don't really have any purpose to exist anymore, but you're raking in.
• 16:54
  You know, they used Charlottesville, which by the way, they were involved in Charlottesville.
• 16:58
  One of the primary uh people that that put Charlottesville together was on their payroll.
• 17:02
  So it looks like they were deeply involved in the planning of Charlottesville.
• 17:06
  It looks like they were deeply allegedly, of course, involved in paying at least one of the people that organized that and bringing people together for it, the white supremacist, that is.
• 17:17
  Not all bit, not everybody at Charlottesville is a white supremacists.
• 17:20
  Some of them were just protesting, taking down a statue of of uh Robert E.
• 17:24
  Lee.
• 17:25
  Uh, but there were you we we did have, you know, you saw the five guys with with with torches and and there were some Nazi symbols, and so there were some very, very bad people there.
• 17:35
  And uh, it's increasingly looking like the Southern Poverty Law Center paid for that and and promoted it and and was deeply involved in that happening.
• 17:44
  And they've made hundreds of millions of dollars in the years since by telling people look at how big of a problem this is.
• 17:52
  You need to give us money so we can continue to fight it.
• 17:54
  So it looked fraught, by the way.
• 17:56
  That's what the indictment is.
• 17:57
  It looks like what they have been doing is creating and paying for and encouraging and in hiring people to to do these, these this white supremacy and this this neo-Nazi, all of that sort of stuff, and and then pointing at it and saying, look, we're still needed, we're still necessary.
• 18:15
  You need to still give us money because this kind of thing is still going on, and and we're the group that primarily fights it.
• 18:21
  And I've I've talked about this in the past, like the NAACP, uh the National Organization of Women, and in other sorts of groups.
• 18:30
  What happens is you have legitimate oppression against a group, and then an organization will form to combat the oppression against that group.
• 18:37
  That's necessary, that's proper.
• 18:38
  I salute the NAACP for that, the national organization of women.
• 18:42
  I salute them for for what they did in the past to fight to fight legitimate oppression against groups of people that did not deserve to have oppression applied against them.
• 18:52
  Nobody deserves to be oppressed unless you break a law or something and you have to go to jail.
• 18:56
  So I salute them.
• 18:58
  Necessary civil rights movement, absolutely necessary.
• 19:01
  But then what happens is you know, generally people buy into moral moral causes over time.
• 19:09
  So, for example, when the NAACP first formed, I'm sure there was a lot of backlash against it, particularly in the South.
• 19:16
  I'm not old enough to have seen it firsthand, but I'm sure it was there.
• 19:19
  The KKK and the NAACP, I'm sure there was a lot of clashes between them.
• 19:24
  But over time, people want to be moral, and as a consequence, the ND and the NAACP and other civil rights organizations like that, essentially won.
• 19:35
  They got rid of all of the organized government-backed racism in terms of redlining and in all of the things, Jim Crow laws, all of the things that were legitimately holding black people back or making them feel like second-class citizens, treating them like second-class citizens legally, all of that was eliminated.
• 19:56
  So then what do you do?
• 19:57
  In the case of the national organization of women, giant organization all over the country raking in money when women were legitimately not being given the same chances in all cases that men were in the workforce and what have you.
• 20:11
  And so at some point, women by 1980, women basically at all the rights men do, and and now what?
• 20:20
  No, what do you do when when the oppression is gone and you've got an organization that's got hundreds of millions of dollars and chapters all over the country and a huge membership, and and all of a sudden you're not oppressed anymore.
• 20:32
  What do you do?
• 20:33
  Now, do you just say, okay, cool, we want to have a have a party and go home, fold up the organization?
• 20:38
  No, because you've still got chapters, you've still got members, you still have funding, you still have all of these things.
• 20:45
  So in the case of the national organization for women, instead of being pro-woman, they began to become increasingly anti-man.
• 20:52
  This is why we have toxic masculinity.
• 20:55
  Masculinity is not toxic.
• 20:56
  We just talked about that a couple of weeks ago.
• 20:58
  But we're told that masculinity is toxic because the national organization of women needs something to fight against so that they have an excuse for people to still give them money.
• 21:00
  Masculinity is toxic because the national organization of women needs something to fight against so that they have an excuse for people to still give them money.
• 21:08
  And so they changed the nature of the organization.
• 21:08
  And so they changed the nature of the organization.
• 21:12
  They changed what they they changed what they're fighting against in order to have relevance or at least perceived relevance, such that they continue to ask people to donate to them.
• 21:12
  They changed what they changed what they're fighting against in order to have relevance or at least perceived relevance, such that they continue to ask people to donate to them.
• 21:21
  And people still do.
• 21:21
  And people still do.
• 21:22
  They still donate to the national organization of women, even though it has not been pro-woman since I'm going to say maybe the 19 early 1990s.
• 21:22
  They still donate to the national organization of women, even though it has not been pro-woman since I'm going to say maybe the 19 early 1990s has been anti-man.
• 21:31
  And they're still out there.
• 21:33
  They're still they're still getting funding, but they're no longer really feminists so much as what Rush Limbaugh used to call feminazis.
• 21:41
  And that's what he was actually talking about was these organizations have shifted their focus away from being pro-woman and into being anti-man.
• 21:50
  Same thing.
• 21:51
  I don't want to single out the NAACP.
• 21:53
  I don't actually know that organization.
• 21:56
  I don't know what the that particular organization is is currently doing.
• 21:59
  So I don't want to single them out, but I want to talk about groups like that collectively.
• 22:04
  You know, at some point it stopped being about pro-minority and having equal rights for everybody.
• 22:11
  And it became about being anti-white.
• 22:14
  It became about uh about it became about these these uh what do they call white privilege and male privilege and all of these privileges where if one group is doing better than another, you've got a nicer car than me, you must have privilege.
• 22:28
  Your parents raised you well, you must have privilege.
• 22:31
  My attitude there is as a parent, my job is to give my children as much privilege as I can.
• 22:38
  And I think that if every parent in the country looked at their job as giving their children every privilege they can, children would do better across the board.
• 22:48
  But the notion that this country is has has white privilege baked into its bones, that that free markets somehow benefit white people.
• 22:58
  You know, this is this is absolutely absurd, but it's the same thing that happened with the national organization of women sometime around 1964.
• 23:06
  All of a sudden the Civil Rights Act is passed, not sometime around, it was 1964, and then in 1967, and as you go forward, you know, what do you do?
• 23:18
  I get it, 1964, the Civil Rights Act is passed, but that doesn't mean racism is gone.
• 23:23
  We're still a rampantly racist country, at least in certain areas, particularly, so you still had to fight the racist belief.
• 23:29
  But again, white racism is politically dead in this country.
• 23:34
  There's still racist, there always will be, but as a political force, it's dead in this country.
• 23:38
  So what exactly is it that people are fighting for if they're not fighting against that?
• 23:43
  If that doesn't really exist as a force to to fight against, such that you can continue to collect donations and to fundraise and to have a big membership, and in the case of the Southern Poverty Law Center, to be highly touted as this force, you know, with a list of all of the bad actors in the world and and and what have you.
• 24:04
  Well, what do you do when you won?
• 24:06
  Again, they're not just packing up, having a party, going home and getting new jobs.
• 24:11
  No, what we now know is that the Southern Poverty Law Center began to fund groups that they're supposed to be against, trying to create the kind of white supremacy and racism that they can then point to and say, look, we're still needed.
• 24:31
  We're still needed.
• 24:32
  You still need to give us money.
• 24:34
  And when you give us money, we'll fund more of that of that crap so that we can point at it and tell you how terrible this country is and how important we are in trying to fight for the rights and the freedoms of other people.
• 24:46
  And uh that's that's what we're seeing.
• 24:49
  That's what we're seeing with the Southern Poverty Law Center.
• 24:51
  That's why they were funding it.
• 24:52
  It's not that all of a sudden they are a white supremacist organization.
• 24:56
  I'm not that they're not.
• 24:57
  I'm not gonna say they are.
• 24:59
  There are some people who are saying, well, they're funding it, therefore they believe that.
• 25:02
  No, it's not that they want it's not that they want white supremacy to to be a problem in the country so much as that they need white supremacy to be a problem in the country so that they could point at it and say, give us more money, give us more clout, give us more power.
• 25:19
  We are still highly relevant.
• 25:22
  That's what they're fighting for.
• 25:24
  They're fighting for relevancy.
• 25:26
  And uh I was surprised at the at the alleged level of it, at how much money they were giving out, how many people it appears that they have been giving money to, but I can't say that I am terribly surprised that it happened and and has been happening, because uh, of course, with other organizations, I didn't single out the Southern Poverty Law Center, but I've been saying that these organizations are are fighting a specter that doesn't really exist anymore.
• 25:56
  You know, they're like shadow boxing when the the opponent is no longer in the ring.
• 26:00
  They're fighting an enemy that no longer really exists, and and since this is what they do for a living, since you've got people who this is their profession, you know, that they can't just stop.
• 26:12
  They have to try to find ways to maintain relevance.
• 26:15
  And so you get propaganda and and you get lies, and and you get misrepresentations of facts, and and you get this ridiculous notion that if there is any disparity between groups, it has to be caused by racism or systemic oppression or or or privilege or some other nefarious thing that nobody can point to and say that is it.
• 26:37
  It has to be, it can't be different cultures, it can't be that that it can't be gang banging versus, you know, it can't be two parent households versus one parent households, it can't be any of that.
• 26:48
  It has to be that our society is a terrible place that uh we need to radically transform in order to have any sense of equity or equality or justice or anything.
• 27:00
  And you hear you're like no peace, no or no justice, no peace.
• 27:04
  You know, that's what they're talking about.
• 27:06
  They're saying that we're gonna riot and and we demand that you make radical changes to this country in order to make everybody more.
• 27:15
  I don't want to say equal because it either they there's there's there was a change that I watched over the course of my life where it used to be everybody agreed that equality of opportunity was a good thing.
• 27:27
  It'll never really happen.
• 27:28
  Bill Gates's children are never gonna have or are always going to have more privilege than my children did.
• 27:35
  So it's never like everybody's gonna have equal opportunity.
• 27:38
  But at least it should be fair opportunity.
• 27:40
  There should be nothing systemically holding anybody back.
• 27:44
  You should be allowed to go as far as as as your talents and and and and work ethic and what have you will take you, as far as you can go.
• 27:52
  Nobody should ever should ever grab you and say, no, you can't go any further.
• 27:55
  You should be able to go as far as your talents can take you.
• 27:58
  And that's how it should be for everybody.
• 28:00
  Everybody, and of course, we should try to do things in the inner cities in order to try to improve the opportunities there, the educational opportunities there.
• 28:00
  And of course, we should try to do things in the inner cities in order to try to improve the opportunities there, the educational opportunities there.
• 28:10
  And I look at Detroit, Detroit's got the worst public schools in the country.
• 28:10
  Now I look at Detroit, Detroit's got the worst public schools in the country.
• 28:13
  Very they that's that's statistically, by the way, 100% true.
• 28:13
  Very they that's that's statistically, by the way, 100% true.
• 28:17
  They have the worst public schools in the country.
• 28:17
  They have the worst public schools in the country.
• 28:20
  Well, they've also got blossoming charter schools.
• 28:20
  Well, they've also got blossoming charter schools, the charter school system in Detroit.
• 28:23
  The charter school system in Detroit, if you if if you live in Detroit and you want to send your kids to school, that's where you send them.
• 28:25
  If you if if you live in Detroit and you want to send your kids to school, that's where you send them.
• 28:29
  Nobody wants to send their
• 28:29
  Nobody wants to send their kids to the public schools because the public schools are terrible, and the teachers' unions won't let anybody fix them.
• 28:35
  So they've got these charter schools in Detroit, the charter schools are doing very, very well, but the charter schools are always politically under attack.
• 28:42
  So they're taking money away from the public schools.
• 28:45
  Well, if you want opportunity in the inner cities and the public schools aren't educating anybody, you better have charter schools.
• 28:52
  You better have ways that poor parents can send their kids to good schools.
• 28:56
  Parents that don't care, that's a problem.
• 28:58
  We have to have public schools for parents that aren't willing to send their kids to charter schools that aren't willing to put in that effort.
• 29:05
  And that unfortunately, in some cases, the case.
• 29:08
  And we have to try to improve our public schools.
• 29:10
  But we don't need to have so many of them.
• 29:13
  The important thing isn't public schools.
• 29:15
  The important thing is children in need getting a quality education.
• 29:20
  And if they can get a better quality education elsewhere, then we should do that.
• 29:24
  So in order to support teachers' unions and things like that, we're actually holding back inner city students, not giving them access to the same quality education that the people who who are trying to block charter schools.
• 29:38
  You know, did did is did Nancy Pelosi send her kids to public schools?
• 29:42
  Did Hillary Clinton send her daughter to public schools?
• 29:44
  Yeah, most of these people don't send their kids to public schools, but they tell poor people that they can't have the same opportunities that they had, that you can't send your kids to a charter school or to a private school because we're not going to use we're not going to use uh uh state money, government money to fund that.
• 30:01
  Well, guess what?
• 30:02
  More and more cases they're doing that, and that's going to be good for the country.
• 30:06
  But all the propaganda you're hearing is telling you that that's terrible for the same reason that the Southern Poverty Law Center now is funding white supremacy and and all of all of the other garbage that's that's going on in order to create a narrative uh that continue to get these groups funding.

  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Cutting Through the Chaos and the America Out Loud Network.
• 33:47
  I'm your host, Wallace Garnot talking to you from Piorto VR to Mexico.
• 33:52
  The first half of the show, I talked about the propaganda that is so ignomatic on the political left in particular.
• 34:00
  And uh, you know, one of the things that an astute listener might note is that all of the propaganda goes one way.
• 34:09
  Now, normally you're propaganda on both sides of the political spectrum, but when you look at our mainstream, and you do, in fairness, there is propaganda on the right, also.
• 34:18
  It's just propaganda that is getting smothered by everything else.
• 34:21
  You know, you look at uh the mainstream media, for example, it all goes one way.
• 34:25
  The Democrat Party, of course, goes the exact same way.
• 34:28
  Uh our government bureaucracy, not the government leadership right now in terms of the presidential administration, but all of the bureaucrats that don't change when the presidency changes, they're all going the same way.
• 34:40
  Look at Europe, it's going the same way.
• 34:42
  You look at uh you look at Canada going the same way.
• 34:45
  You look at Australia going the same way.
• 34:48
  And so when you see all of this, all of this propaganda, it's all the exact same propaganda, and it's all going in the same direction.
• 34:56
  You have to ask yourself, why are all the lies the same?
• 35:00
  Are all the lies the same?
• 35:03
  Why aren't there why isn't there more propaganda on both sides?
• 35:03
  Why aren't there why isn't there more propaganda on both sides?
• 35:07
  Why aren't I getting hit from from both ends?
• 35:07
  Why aren't I getting hit from from both ends?
• 35:10
  And and you know, there are a number of reasons for this.
• 35:10
  And you know, there are a number of reasons for this.
• 35:13
  I've talked about some of them that are less scary, such as the fact that Guitar spends some estimates are that they've spent over time as much as a trillion dollars on propagandizing the Western world in terms of money given to universities in order to get them to spread Qatari propaganda and
• 35:13
  I've talked about some of them that are less scary, such as the fact that Qatar spends some estimates are they've spent over time as much as a trillion dollars on propagandizing the Western world in terms of money given to universities in order to get them to spread Qatari propaganda in terms of giving money to media organizations, same thing in terms of setting up organizations like care in the United States that are all associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
• 35:41
  And so you've got all of us, it's this propaganda is of course it's anti Israel, it's anti Semitic, it's anti-American, it's pro-Islam, all of these other things.
• 35:51
  And uh, and that's one side of it.
• 35:54
  And then, of course, you have uh China, which which is propagandized.
• 35:58
  Actually, China doesn't propagandize so much anymore.
• 36:01
  They used to.
• 36:02
  They now just let us, we're better at it than they are.
• 36:05
  So they now just basically leapfrog over our anti, our own internal anti-American propaganda put on by the Democrat Party.
• 36:15
  And so China now, our propaganda is better than theirs, so they're more helping spread our propaganda than they are making their own.
• 36:23
  We're just simply better at it than they are.
• 36:26
  And so you've got that.
• 36:27
  But it's all basically in the same direction.
• 36:30
  And you you look at that and you say, why is that?
• 36:34
  Have there been any other cases where you had all this propaganda going in the exact same direction?
• 36:42
  And uh it turns out that there has been.
• 36:46
  And when if you look at, for example, Cambodia in the 1950s, our government did a regime change operation there that looks remarkably similar.
• 36:56
  It was a CIA that led it, did a regime change operation there that looks remarkably similar to the regime change operation that we seem to have in the United States today against the Trump administration.
• 37:08
  In 1954, the CIA had a regime change operation called PB Success, that it used to remove Guatemalan president Jacoba Arbanez.
• 37:21
  And uh it was highly successful.
• 37:24
  They did get rid of Arbanez in 1954, and the removal of Arbanese, it began with a coordinated information campaign aimed specifically at the Guatemalan military and intelligence services.
• 37:34
  The CIA, of course, understood that if the officer corps could be persuaded that Arbanez represented a constitutional danger, or that he might soon issue unlawful commands, then the presidency might be isolated without anybody having to do so much as fire a single shot.
• 37:49
  Well, the first phase of PB success, it consisted of messaging.
• 37:53
  CIA analysts and psycho uh and psycho psychological operations officers, they crafted narratives portraying Arbanes as compromised by other countries, reckless and allied with foreign interests.
• 38:06
  These messages, they weren't delivered by American operatives.
• 38:09
  It wasn't like the CIA was out here saying, oh, this guy's compromised, this guy's taking money from the Soviets.
• 38:14
  This guy is is in bed with what with you know Russia collusion, whatever the case may be.
• 38:19
  No, the messages were uh delivered by a carefully selected group of Guatemalan political elites, along with former officials and uh civilian influencers who collectively serve the same function that uh that we see Americans in the media and you know, remember that slot invidian, what have you?
• 38:37
  It's the same thing that they were doing there.
• 38:39
  They were undermining the regime from within, and it was our CIA that was that was helping them and funding them and encouraging them to do it.
• 38:47
  Now, these individuals made public statements praising the Guatemalan military for its constitutional role.
• 38:53
  They warned of threats to the republic coming from within.
• 38:56
  This is Guatemala, and they reminded officers that their oath required them to refuse orders violated the law or the nation's founding principles.
• 39:04
  Now, nothing in the statements was technically actionable.
• 39:07
  The wording was deliberately cautious and was crafted to sit precisely on the legal line without crossing it.
• 39:13
  They weren't trying to accuse Arbanez of doing anything illegal because he wasn't doing anything illegal.
• 39:17
  What they were trying to do is they were trying to tell the military leaders that they should be very that they should look at any future orders that might be given, and they might they should look at them and ask themselves are these legitimate orders or these orders that I should ignore?
• 39:32
  Are these orders maybe that I should should tell the president of Guatemala that I'm not gonna follow, that we're we're just not gonna do what he tells us to do because he's no longer a legitimate leader.
• 39:43
  And the target audience, incidentally, it wasn't the public.
• 39:46
  The public was was was they heard the stories.
• 39:48
  It was on the news at night, so they heard the stories, but they weren't really targeting them.
• 39:52
  And what they were targeting were specific military units or specific branches of the military, the ones that they thought maybe could be turned against the Guatemalan government.
• 40:02
  Uh key army units, the Air Force of Guatemala was specifically targeted, uh, the intelligence services of Guatemala were not only targeted, but they were made involved.
• 40:10
  And uh, they just ignored any units that were loyal to Arbanez.
• 40:15
  It worked very, very, very effectively, and of course, that regime fell.
• 40:20
  Well, I've I've talked about the the uh Alyssa Slotkin video with Mark Kelly, Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, uh Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Hooligan before.
• 40:34
  Uh, but I don't think I've tied this all together exactly the same way I'm doing now.
• 40:38
  So you might remember what they said in a video, which was we want to speak directly to members of the military and the intelligence community who take risks each day to keep Americans safe.
• 40:48
  We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now.
• 40:51
  Americans trust their military, but that trust is at risk.
• 40:54
  This administration is pitting our uniformed military intelligence community professionals against American citizens like us.
• 41:01
  You all swore an oath to protect and defend this constitution.
• 41:04
  Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming from abroad.
• 41:08
  We have some right here at home.
• 41:10
  Our laws are clear.
• 41:11
  You can refuse illegal orders.
• 41:13
  You can refuse illegal orders.
• 41:15
  You must refuse illegal orders.
• 41:17
  No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution.
• 41:22
  We know this is hard and that it's a difficult time to be a public servant, but whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army or Navy or Air Force, know the eggs that the Marine Corps is not listed, your vigilance is critical.
• 41:34
  And know that we have your back because now more than ever the American people need you.
• 41:39
  We need you to stand up for our laws, our constitution, and who we are as Americans.
• 41:44
  Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, don't give up the ship.
• 41:49
  Now, that sounds remarkably similar, of course, to what the CIA was having spread in Guatemala in 1954.
• 41:57
  So whether the CIA is doing this or somebody's just using the CIA playbook, it's the exact same thing.
• 42:00
  CIA playbook, it's the exact same thing.
• 42:02
  It's the exact same kind of a regime change operation being spread this time against the United States.
• 42:02
  It's the exact same kind of a regime change operation being spread this time against the United States.
• 42:08
  Now, why do I think the CIA would do that?
• 42:08
  Now, why do I think the CIA would do that?
• 42:10
  Because Trump and the CIA do not get along.
• 42:10
  Because Trump and the CIA do not get along.
• 42:13
  Trump and the CIA famously don't get along.
• 42:13
  Trump and the CIA famously don't get along.
• 42:15
  Trump, in fact, gets most of his intelligence from private intelligence services, private intelligence companies, because the CIA has for decades been saying things to presidents that were in the CIA's interest but weren't necessarily.
• 42:15
  Trump, in fact, gets most of his intelligence from private intelligence services, private intelligence companies, because the CIA has for decades been saying things to presidents that were in the CIA's interest but weren't necessarily true.
• 42:31
  You know, intelligence is just that.
• 42:32
  It's it's intelligence is an intelligent guess, basically.
• 42:36
  We don't know, for example, or did not know, for example, uh, how close Iran was to nuclear weapons and our intelligence services have been telling presents that they could be two weeks or two months or or however close, you know, they've been saying that for 30 years.
• 42:52
  Truth is we never knew exactly how close Iran was to nuclear weapons until when Trump was trying to negotiate with them.
• 43:00
  Uh, the Iranian delegation told our delegation that they could have 11 nuclear weapons in about a week.
• 43:07
  And Iran is a country that's always said that if they have nuclear weapons, they'd love to use them in Israel, they'd love to use them on Europe, they'd love to use them on the United States.
• 43:16
  And so, you know, Trump said, well, two weeks we're not gonna, or one week rather, for 11 bombs, we're not going to give you a week, and we started bombing Iran.
• 43:24
  Immediately we started finding out or started hearing in the media and hearing from people like Mark Kelly that the war was illegal, that the government, that the president doesn't have the constitutional authority to wage war against Iran, that military members should question the orders.
• 43:39
  Several members of Congress actually came out and encouraged military members not to follow orders to fight Iran.
• 43:46
  Uh that's the Guatemala thing right there.
• 43:48
  It's that's exactly what we're seeing.
• 43:50
  It is the exact same kind of an operation being carried on now against the American government, against the Trump administration.
• 43:59
  And uh, you know, we see all kinds of propaganda that's saying that Iran's winning the war.
• 44:06
  I've actually seen videos on Facebook and people posting and and replying to and and forwarding and and and sharing and what have you, claims and and fake videos, AI created videos of uh Iran hitting the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier.
• 44:23
  The aircraft carrier, the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier hasn't been hit by so much as a spitball.
• 44:28
  It's it's it's completely functional, it's still there, it's still capable of launching operations.
• 44:33
  Right now there's a ceasefire, it might not last much longer.
• 44:36
  But none of our of our ships have been damaged in this.
• 44:39
  None of them at all.
• 44:40
  And yet you hear about how the Iranian Navy is somehow winning.
• 44:44
  Well, the Iranian Navy is at the bottom of the of the Persian Gulf.
• 44:47
  They've got some speed boats that we haven't taken out yet, but even those, when they bring them out to attack shipping, we have eight, ten uh uh warthogs going after them, and we have uh and we have Apache uh helicopters and going after them, and and we're decimating what is left of, you know, they're down like bass boats now, and and they can't even catch any bass because if they go out fishing, we sink them.
• 45:09
  So the the notion that Iran is in any way winning this war is absolutely absurd.
• 45:14
  Uh, but that's what we hear.
• 45:15
  We hear that it's an illegal war.
• 45:17
  Well, the first president to to use the U.S.
• 45:20
  military to fight a foreign operation without a declaration of war was Thomas Jefferson.
• 45:25
  The last president not to do that was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and of course, he didn't need to do that because he was the president during World War II most of World War II.
• 45:34
  So the only times that we haven't had excursions like this where the president utilized the military in order to fight an enemy without Congress going through was when we were at actual war.
• 45:45
  So the notion that the president doesn't have the constitutional authority to do that is absurd.
• 45:50
  The president is the commander-in-chief.
• 45:52
  Congress gets to declare war.
• 45:54
  Congress also gets to decide how big the military is.
• 45:57
  Congress gives the present tools that the president can then use as commander-in-chief however he sees fit.
• 46:03
  He doesn't need a declaration of Congress to attack Iran.
• 46:07
  He doesn't need a declaration to Congress really to do anything with the military as it stands today.
• 46:12
  Now, what a declaration of war does is it gives the president far more power than he has just to fight a war with the tools he has available today.
• 46:20
  It gives the president basically carte blanche power to get more weapons, to borrow at ridiculous levels, to draft and to expand the military radically to put the entire economy of the country on a war footing so that the economy is entirely geared toward making the materials for war that can then be then be fought to to fight the war.
• 46:44
  These are things you need a declaration of war for.
• 46:46
  But if Congress is going to give the president an army that is capable or a military that is capable of fighting war against the rest of the world combined, which we could do, nobody would be able to attack the United States because we control the air and the seas.
• 46:59
  So we have a this this ridiculously powerful military that we can then that the president has the authority to utilize, basically however he sees fit.
• 47:08
  He's the commander-in-chief.
• 47:09
  Uh the war powers resolution that Congress drafted or crafted and passed in the 19 in uh during the Vietnam War.
• 47:18
  Well, that was Congress trying to assert some of the president's constitutional powers as commander-in-chief.
• 47:25
  What Congress did is they wrote a law, the war powers resolution that said that the president can do whatever he wants with the military for up to 60 days.
• 47:34
  And then after that, if he doesn't have approval from Congress to continue for 30 days, he can still kind of continue because he's got time to wind down, but after 90 days it has to stop.
• 47:43
  We're approaching the 60 days, by the way, now.
• 47:45
  Now, Trump can say, well, I had the ceasefire, I started up in.
• 47:48
  We don't have any ground troops down there.
• 47:49
  So even if you use the war powers resolution, there's question as to whether or not it's applicable in a purely air operation because we don't have any boots on the ground.
• 47:58
  It's not a ground war.
• 47:59
  We're just bombing Iran.
• 48:00
  He could say, well, I had a ceasefire, so I stopped, now I'm starting up again.
• 48:03
  The clock starts over.
• 48:04
  I don't know, you know, you have to debate whether or not that fits within the war powers resolution.
• 48:09
  But the war powers resolution was Congress trying to assert authority that Congress doesn't have.
• 48:15
  Congress can't just take powers that the Constitution gives the president.
• 48:19
  They can pass a law saying you can't do that.
• 48:22
  But if the president's doing what the Constitution says he can do, Congress doesn't have the authority to take those powers away from them.
• 48:28
  These are three co-equal branches of government.
• 48:31
  They are separate but equal branches of government.
• 48:33
  These are supposed to be separate but equal branches of government.
• 48:35
  So Congress doesn't have the authority to take powers from the president any more than the president has the authority to take powers from Congress.
• 48:42
  The president can't declare war.
• 48:44
  He cannot carte blanche just expand the military without a congressional approval.
• 48:50
  He can't start the draft without congressional approval.
• 48:53
  He can't uh he can't take over the economy and force companies to build things they don't normally build in order to support the military without constitutional approval.
• 49:00
  Without constitutional approval.
• 49:02
  There are things that the president cannot do without constitutional approval.
• 49:02
  There are things that the president cannot do without constitutional approval.
• 49:07
  But Congress cannot tell the president where to put an aircraft carrier.
• 49:07
  But Congress cannot tell the president where to put an aircraft carrier.
• 49:10
  Congress cannot tell the president where to put the United States Marine Corps or elements thereof.
• 49:10
  Congress cannot tell the present where to put the United States Marine Corps or elements thereof.
• 49:15
  The president is the commander-in-chief.
• 49:15
  The present is the commander in chief.
• 49:17
  The present decides what our military will and will not do.
• 49:17
  The president decides what our military will and will not do.
• 49:20
  It's present as complete authority there.
• 49:20
  It's present as complete authority there.
• 49:22
  He is the commander in chief.
• 49:22
  He is the commander in chief.
• 49:24
  And the orders that are giving are completely consistent with his powers as commander in chief.
• 49:24
  And the orders that are giving are completely consistent with his powers as commander-in-chief.
• 49:29
  The war in Iran.
• 49:29
  The war in Iran is completely consistent with his powers as commander in chief.
• 49:34
  It also, in my opinion, is the most necessary war that we have fought in my lifetime.
• 49:38
  We do not want a regime that wants to blow us up to have nuclear weapons.
• 49:42
  I have people saying, well, they're not an eminent threat to the United States because they don't have the capability of delivering them here.
• 49:47
  We have the capability of delivering them here on ships.
• 49:51
  You put a put a nuclear bomb in a container and drive it in a truck with a container into a major U.S.
• 49:56
  city and light it up, put it into a minivan, you can get it anywhere in the country.
• 50:00
  We can't.
• 50:01
  If they build 11 of these things and they put, say, six of them going into the United States through different ports, you think we're going to catch all of them?
• 50:08
  We might catch one, we might catch two.
• 50:09
  Hell, maybe we get lucky and catch five.
• 50:11
  But that's still a nuclear weapon that we don't control on American soil with with uh the Iranian regime with the ability to light up the United States.
• 50:20
  We can never, never let this regime have nuclear weapons.
• 50:25
  It just can't happen.
• 50:26
  That's that's that's a complete no-go.
• 50:27
  Everybody in the United States, everybody in Europe, everybody in Israel, everybody in the Western world should be united on the idea that Iran can never have nuclear weapons.
• 50:39
  And yet we have Democrats actively telling our military to ignore orders that relate to bombing Iran.
• 50:46
  That's that's how far this is gone.
• 50:48
  And it's straight out of it, it's not just Guatemala.
• 50:50
  It's not the only time that the United States has uh has had a regime change operation overseas.
• 50:55
  That the CIA has led regime change operations overseas.
• 50:59
  It's actually happened a number of times.
• 51:01
  Guatemala is just far enough back now that all of the materials have been declassified and are in the public domain.
• 51:07
  You can look up everything I said about Guatemala.
• 51:09
  It's all in the public domain.
• 51:12
  USAID, incidentally, has been the funding force for all of these little things.
• 51:16
  Um but you know, we look at how USA funded NGOs up top of regimes with CIA pulling the strings.
• 51:24
  You've got Chile, I've already talked about.
• 51:26
  You've got Iran in 1953.
• 51:28
  I didn't talk about Chile, I took Guatemala, but you've got Iran in 1953, Chile in 1973, Serbia in 2000, Ukraine, we actually did it twice.
• 51:36
  We did it in 2004 and again in 2014 and countless other times.
• 51:41
  Each time the exact same playbook is used.
• 51:43
  They refine it.
• 51:44
  We've gotten better at it over time, but it's the exact same playbook, just refined and improved.
• 51:49
  And each time the illusion of grassroots revolution is preserved in whatever country that we're doing the regime change operation on.
• 51:57
  The only thing unique about this one is now the CIA is not conducting a regime change operation against a foreign country that is hostile to the United States.
• 52:08
  No, now the CIA is conducting a regime change operation against a sitting U.S.
• 52:13
  president who was elected by the American people with a majority of the votes.
• 52:17
  He actually won the popular vote.
• 52:19
  So not just the electoral college, he actually won the popular vote the second time around.
• 52:23
  And the CIA, my belief is the CIA is is trying to oust him so that we can go back to the kind of bureaucratic nightmare that we had before.
• 52:34
  We want, when I say we, I mean the Western world, I don't mean me and I don't mean you.
• 52:38
  The Western world wants to have a managed decline of the West.
• 52:43
  There are various factions.
• 52:44
  I've talked about this before too.
• 52:46
  There are various factions on the political left that have different reasons why they want to see a managed decline of the Western world, but they agree that uh China is now the emergent power, and that in order to avoid nuclear war, we need to let China surpass us and become the dominant world power, and we need to just kind of manage our way down and put our tail between our legs and let China take over while we become more poor, less military powerful, uh less dominant on the world stage and what have you.
• 53:19
  So we're supposed to do what Canada is doing.
• 53:21
  We're supposed to do what Europe is doing, which is to make energy prohibitively expensive and to make the people of our countries poorer relatively quickly.
• 53:29
  Canada, 15 years ago, richer than the United States, now they make about 60% on average of what the average American does and pay much higher taxes to boot.
• 53:37
  What do they get for that?
• 53:38
  They get expensive electricity, uh just everything there now is uh energy-wise is getting more expensive.
• 53:46
  Germany, they don't make as much as Americans anymore either, and I don't know what that is, what the percentage that that is slipped, but it has slipped over time.
• 53:53
  And uh their electrical, the electricity now costs four times what electricity of the United States does, and that gap is continuing to expand.
• 54:01
  Ironically, now they're producing more CO2 than they were before they decided to go green, because now they're they're using coal.
• 54:08
  They don't have natural gas access from from Russia, so now they're they're burning coal.
• 54:13
  So all of this is just, it's it's not about being green, because if it was, they'd be using sources like natural gas and just preventing the CO2 from escaping.
• 54:22
  That technology is there and it's cheap and they won't use it.
• 54:25
  So it's it's not about CO2.
• 54:27
  It's about making energy prohibitively expensive and making it so it's not you know, you turn your light switch on, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
• 54:35
  They want to make it so that it's it's it's inconsistent, they want to make it so it's prohibitively expensive, and they want to do that to weaken the Western world so that China can become the dominant power.
• 54:48
  And we've been we've been working on this basically since the end of the Cold War.
• 54:51
  By we, I don't mean you and me, I mean the neocons and what have you.
• 54:54
  This has been the game plan since basically the end of the Cold War.
• 54:58
  And all of a sudden now Trump steps in.
• 55:01
  He's the first president that we have had going back to the end of the Cold War, where the same global elite did not, we have a two-party system for a reason, and that is so that the global elite can choose both political candidates, then we get to choose which of the perfectly acceptable candidates we want to vote for.
• 55:18
  Well, Trump's from outside that system.
• 55:20
  That's why they're against him.
• 55:22
  That's why they are attacking him.
• 55:25
  That's why we're in the middle of a regime change operation.
• 55:28
  And I got to tell you, I am not the biggest Trump fan in the world.
• 55:31
  Everybody here knows that, but Trump is easily the most competent president that we have had going back at least to Ronald Reagan.
• 55:39
  He is a competent president, and the reason that he is so hated is that he is competent at making America strong, at focusing at American interests, and uh that's just not what the American people are used to anymore.
• 55:52
  So a lot of the public is now following the regime change operation.
• 55:55
  They're on the side of the regime change operation.
• 55:58
  You and I are not, and uh so that's where it is, and uh we have to keep fighting it, and we have to do to continue to support Trump and continue to hope that the American public wins.
• 56:00
  And uh so that's where it is, and uh we have to keep fighting it, and we have to do to continue to support Trump and continue to hope that the American public wins.
• 56:10
  And just like that, ladies and gentlemen, we are out of time, but that's okay.
• 56:10
  And just like that, ladies and gentlemen, we are out of time, but that's okay.
• 56:15
  I went through all the propaganda, Southern Poverty Law Center, all of the other organizations that supposedly fight oppression, but that are actually trying to create as much white supremacy as they can and other things as they can so they can try to stay relevant and uh and it's all.
• 56:15
  I went through all the propaganda, Southern Poverty Law Center, all of the other organizations that supposedly fight oppression, but that are actually trying to create as much white supremacy as they can and other things as they can so they can try to stay relevant and uh and and it's all a part of a regime change operation.
