Transcript
- 0:00Hello, good morning. Welcome. I am Samuel Trapp. This is international flavor. You are on damn a radio
- 0:08coming to you live today from
- 0:11Delaco's art real estate of the art studio and what a beautiful morning, you know
- 0:17Nice and crispy cold. I hate the cold by the way that
- 0:21So I was never a huge fan of florida living down there. Um, and I still got
- 0:26plenty of ties down there
- 0:28And I I want to go back because it's warm but I uh, you know the the palm trees, you know
- 0:35Throw in some oak throw in some nice trees somewhere. I'm so tired of uh, I don't know palm trees
- 0:42And everything's the same but everything's the same up here too. But but here it's just I like here
- 0:48I'm a fall and spring person. It's a winter. I just I have no use for summer. Uh,
- 0:54I don't know
- 0:56Why am I saying this? I don't really care if you feel like calling in today 5 7 3 7 4 6 8 0 2 0
- 1:02I got plenty to talk about and uh
- 1:05i've been watching this economic forum stuff and
- 1:09I was surprised by a
- 1:11speech
- 1:12And i'm gonna play it for you yesterday
- 1:14I talked about mark carney and I talked about canada and I talked about canada starting to make
- 1:21Deals and diversify as it were
- 1:25away from the united states and not really but
- 1:30Everyone in the world is doing it
- 1:33And my theory and you don't have to believe it. I don't it doesn't matter to me today's a wednesday
- 1:39By the way, the greatest day in radio history and it occurs every single week
- 1:44There's a new greatest day in radio history on damn radio because we have so many uh, wonderful
- 1:51um
- 1:52Chat people and we're not chat bots. We're real people
- 1:56And we're real people with a variety of opinions and we love to spew them out. Uh,
- 2:02I want to spew out some opinions today
- 2:05I'd uh appreciate it if y'all joined, uh in my charity where we're supposed to go live with the website
- 2:12It's it's already up. I believe let me
- 2:15Let me digress for just a minute
- 2:19And see if it is because we are on a
- 2:26roll we're like bada and
- 2:29We are on a roll
- 2:32and
- 2:33Oops, I can't spell though. And so we cannot
- 2:37get to our web page
- 2:40And i'm not gonna say what it is. Although i've said it before
- 2:44I just don't want to say it and have people not be able to go there
- 2:48Because it's really technically not live yet, but oh it's looking pretty fargan
- 2:55Fantastic already. So our modern law ecosystem
- 3:00uh
- 3:01Is also under construction that is not quite done and in that one on the modern law ecosystem
- 3:07I want to talk a little bit this week about
- 3:10uh
- 3:11Phenomenon that's that's gripping the world of ai and I believe it's a big deal and you need to
- 3:17To join our ecosystem. So i've started a website called the modern law ecosystem
- 3:24Well, not me. I have partners and uh, but we've started that and what we would like to do
- 3:29Well, it's a long story
- 3:30You know what and I wasn't going to get into that today and i'm not but uh, I I I wanted to test out
- 3:35And i've been testing it over the last night and it's looking fantabulous. It's not quite done
- 3:41But it it does have a blog. It's called civic outlaws and uh, we
- 3:46attack government overreach we we go after them and
- 3:52This is you know, you can become a civic warrior by donating to our cause
- 3:57It's not cheap to keep these people in line
- 4:00And we do it through sunshine law requests through filing of strategic suits. We have several
- 4:06uh
- 4:07Several focuses that we are making right now flock cameras hoa missouri alcohol tobacco control overreach
- 4:15You know, I always talk about the missouri bar corruption and overreach and the timeshare schemes gaming machines in missouri
- 4:23Those are some of the things that we're working on right now
- 4:26And we're looking for support in this
- 4:29Endeavor as we go and attack and so I I want you to know
- 4:34who we are and the website is just about done, but you got to forgive me because
- 4:39I I've been trying to announce it for a couple of weeks, but it's just not quite perfect and uh,
- 4:45I'm, i'm probably going too far, but it is certainly very well developed and uh, you know, it is it
- 4:52And I get to thinking about this and go, you know
- 4:54Why don't we just talk about it and say that civic outlaws is up and available and we're ready to go after
- 5:00Government overreach on behalf of you right now. We're focused on missouri florida because that's where
- 5:07We we have a lot of location but illinois too because we got plenty over there
- 5:12And uh, you know, we're we're gonna we're gonna spread our goal is to have offices in every state and if you got
- 5:19there's strength in numbers people and so
- 5:22We're hoping that you'll become one of our civic warriors
- 5:26So on civic outlaws and there's we're going to have beautiful merch for you to buy and stuff like that
- 5:31uh for our charitable contributions and we're gonna uh,
- 5:35connect with other charities connect with making movements connect with
- 5:39Funding our own, um, you know, I don't know
- 5:44agitators
- 5:45You know our protesters and we'll start we're gonna start attacking government overreach where it needs to be attacked and uh,
- 5:52That's that is what we do. That's what i've done for
- 5:55Jesus forever. That's part of the reason I believe that they attacked me when I was a lawyer
- 6:00Is because I was I was I kept bombarding them with various lawsuits, you know for government
- 6:07Overreach and corruption and bs and there's still plenty of it going along and uh, you know
- 6:12I've been quiet too long about it. And so i'm i'm not gonna be anymore
- 6:16And so we have founded this civic outlaws and you can become a civic warrior by funding us
- 6:24And we hope that you do anyway
- 6:25Uh, I digressed a little bit
- 6:28We're also going to have the modern law ecosystem which I read to you the complaint that the missouri bar made about me
- 6:34That came from one of our would-be founders
- 6:40He took the money and ran is what happened the guy took the money and ran and i'll tell you who it is one day
- 6:46But i'm still uh struggling with the fact that he did it, but he took the money and ran and uh,
- 6:53Uh, you know
- 6:53waited for some funding
- 6:56Did very little if anything we're currently in a lawsuit and it's nonsense that that these sort of things happen
- 7:04Anyway, that is not my theme for today. My theme for today was this speech. I heard yesterday. I told you about mark carney
- 7:12who is canadian, of course and he
- 7:16uh
- 7:17Gave a speech at the economic forum. I'm gonna share it with you. It's like 14 15 minutes
- 7:22i'm gonna share it with you in its entirety because um,
- 7:25People are starting to say things and it's uh and from canada
- 7:29This is before we get there I want to talk about because we all talk about it on this station, I believe you know that we are
- 7:37we're very well versed in uh,
- 7:39the
- 7:40the world order, you know the uh
- 7:44Uniparty the
- 7:46What do you call them the global globalist elites?
- 7:50Sometimes people call them that and the globalist elites in my view are people like carney
- 7:57Or at least they have been forever
- 8:00And I believe that and and you know, you can believe what you want. You don't have to believe
- 8:05This is just an opposing point of view to many
- 8:08that are that are spoken and and but I believe that that mine is
- 8:13Pretty well developed and reasonable. Everybody knows i've had a hobby for years of following. Uh,
- 8:19Vladimir putin his rise to power what he's done. I I have
- 8:24Watched and listened in russian. I I like to keep my russian
- 8:29um
- 8:29proficiency and
- 8:31I want to speak in russian and I and I have a channel that's in russian and I and I
- 8:38And I I follow this stuff and i've watched because I was in arms control
- 8:44years ago
- 8:45and
- 8:46as an interpreter inspector
- 8:49Escort over here in the united states when when people would come over and I and
- 8:54it was during the time the the wall collapsed and what was it 89 or something is when they uh,
- 9:01Uh, they they took it down soviet union collapsed the cis was formed
- 9:06And uh, there there was been been, uh, you know
- 9:09Horror story for russia in the 90s just a horror story
- 9:14And out of the ashes of that horror story, which we didn't help at all
- 9:19We went in like corporate raiders and tried to steal all their stuff and they resented that
- 9:25And they resented us not
- 9:29I don't know how to put it
- 9:32We screwed up
- 9:33We by we I mean the globalist elitist a-holes. I don't mean me. I didn't screw up. I was
- 9:40Sitting there thinking about this the whole time. It's like jeez
- 9:43What a reversal from what the soviet union was and trust me. They're not going to stay down
- 9:49You know, I knew enough about russian people to keep it. Well
- 9:53this world order theory
- 9:56Basically started after world war ii and I and and basically this is
- 10:02Part of the reason that we are where we are and I want to talk to you and basically
- 10:07All I did to show you this and i'm going to read this to you before I share mark carney's speech with you
- 10:13Because I I think it's important that you hear this stuff and he started it in french
- 10:17but I think I got it right to the part where it's uh,
- 10:21it's uh in english and he gives the rest of the speech in english because there was a little bit of
- 10:26a simultaneous interpretation in the beginning that kind of is distracting I hate it when they do that i'd rather see the
- 10:32the whole video
- 10:33Not in two languages at the same time because it's hard to focus on one, you know
- 10:39and uh
- 10:40Anyway, I want to give you about the new world order. It's a term that is often used
- 10:46In hype now now, I don't believe this. This is this is what people talk about this new world order
- 10:53conspiracy theory
- 10:55And so this has a little bit of a liberalist bs from wikipedia sprinkled in okay
- 11:02Everybody needs to know that this is not my thoughts of the new world order
- 11:05If I have things that diverge from this though, I shall tell you but what the new world order has usually refers to
- 11:13a conspiracy theory that
- 11:15Hypothesizes that a secretly emerging
- 11:19totalitarian totalitarian world government
- 11:21Will emerge the common theme in these theories is a new world order is a secretive power elite
- 11:29Globalist agenda that is conspiring to eventually rule the world
- 11:36Now think about that
- 11:38I think that's basically true
- 11:41But all it is is the same old rich elites because the group is quite small
- 11:47You're one percenters that have all the money and all the power and the rest of us
- 11:54Since the dark ages have been fighting this sort of thing and living under their thumb
- 12:01living under their rules
- 12:04Fighting their wars because we are expendable trash and they
- 12:10are not
- 12:12They are the globalist elites and it's just but it's the same thing for centuries
- 12:17That that people have been fighting. That's that's my theory. Okay that the tendency is always
- 12:23to
- 12:25consolidate and keep and build
- 12:28Your own power. That's what we're watching now. It's no different under donald trump than it was under anyone else. It's just the
- 12:36base parties have changed but up at the at the
- 12:40top levels
- 12:42The people who get appointed to run
- 12:45government agencies
- 12:47that stay there after
- 12:49The presidents move on
- 12:51which is why donald trump did one of the very best things that I liked is he kind of purged a lot of the
- 12:58the
- 12:59Careerist level of these globalist assholes that they needed to get rid of right? And so i'm for that. Anyway, the theme continues
- 13:07that uh
- 13:09One world government will replace
- 13:12Sovereign nation states now, we're watching that in some degree with what's going on in europe. They're discovering that they're just
- 13:20pawns
- 13:21In america's game in nato in the eu canada has identified the same thing. I told you that yesterday
- 13:28and an all-encompassing
- 13:31propaganda, which ideology
- 13:33They don't really care about the ideology
- 13:35They care about keeping us so distracted that we don't notice that oz is ruling from behind the curtain
- 13:42Somewhere pay no attention to the man behind the curtain because we have globalist, you know
- 13:48Queer boy transgender theory to spread to you and that's far more important than who's finger puppeting the world from behind the curtain
- 13:57right
- 13:58many influential historical and contemporary figures have been alleged to be part of a
- 14:05Cabal that operates through numerous front organizations
- 14:10gmos
- 14:11I'm, sorry ngos
- 14:13Ngos and uh to orchestrate significant political and financial events. We're watching this
- 14:19This is not a conspiracy theory. This is truth. This is what's happening
- 14:25Okay, it's no longer a conspiracy theory people know that this is true that it that it
- 14:32It might take a different form than what they thought it was
- 14:36It's not a group of people the same 10 people who meet though the parties may change
- 14:41But it's globalist elite a-holes that rise to power through whatever means and then they get sucked into this cabal
- 14:49of power
- 14:51Because they have the ticket to get in the door, which is fabulous wealth
- 14:56And so they keep it and try to generally generationally keep it in the same hands that I absolutely
- 15:03Believe in and that power, you know getting the blessing of the
- 15:08Republicans that are in power before somebody approves you to be a judge
- 15:13Getting the blessing of those that are a federal judge and or even many state judges
- 15:18I believe missouri is extremely corrupt in that regard and I also believe that federally it's the same thing
- 15:24It's who's who's ass you've kissed and how you and it's regionally for federal judges and how they get picked
- 15:31But it's the same sort of system as you go any sort of bureaucratic position any sort of
- 15:37Of high level, you know call it gs15 and up, you know
- 15:41You're you're gonna have to kiss the political ass and certainly in the general ranks up to the rank of colonel
- 15:50Doesn't matter after that you better be licking the butts of power
- 15:54Because that's how it works you can get one star and by god if you lick enough ass you'll get two
- 16:00And and it keeps on going i'm not saying these aren't stellar soldiers in many regards because they are
- 16:07And you know, they're very impressive and but don't go thinking that they aren't part of the same
- 16:15sort of
- 16:16military industrial complex because that's part of the ticket
- 16:22To get further on as you spread the wealth among the those who are already wealthy
- 16:30That's how you do it and it's hard to tap in and get into that circle
- 16:34but once you're in it's a globalist sort of of theory I
- 16:39Believe that it makes sense to me. Okay
- 16:41So although I don't necessarily believe everything is here many influential and historical and contemporary figures
- 16:48Have been alleged to be part of this and uh, they take advantage of systemic crises
- 16:53Never let a good crisis go to waste or cause
- 16:57crises
- 16:58In order to push through controversial policies think about 9 11
- 17:03Think about that think about what's going on in ukraine. Don't tell me that somebody didn't push through that
- 17:08Can you imagine hillary clinton or any of these other a-holes even republican ones?
- 17:13Going around and creating the same sorts of things and don't go thinking that marco rubio isn't doing the same old thing
- 17:20That lindsey graham who's been sitting up there with his thumb up his ass doing nothing
- 17:25except collecting military industrial complex money and spreading that wealth and creating
- 17:32chaos wherever he goes
- 17:34That is how you keep the power
- 17:37That's how you keep spreading the wealth and the same assholes make same amount of money
- 17:42before the early
- 17:441990s new world order conspiracy was limited to two american countercultures the military anti-government
- 17:52militantly anti-government right
- 17:56Which probably included me
- 17:58and part of the fundamental christianity
- 18:01Concerned with concerned with end time emergence of the antichrist. Okay, those two have kind of blended together
- 18:08But this is the theory academics who study conspiracy theory and religious extremists
- 18:13And they gave some names, but i'm not going to talk about that observed that right-wing conspiracy theories about this new world order
- 18:21Not only have been embraced by many seekers of this knowledge, but have also seeped into pop culture
- 18:27which feel a surge of interest and participation in
- 18:32Survivalism paramilitarism as many people actively prepare for apocalyptic at millenarian
- 18:38Scenarios, okay. This is wikipedia
- 18:41Trying to say oh, geez are still all nuts, right? We're not nuts
- 18:45These political scientists warn that mass hysteria
- 18:49Over new world order conspiracy theory could eventually have a devastating effect on american political life
- 18:58Ranging from escalating lone wolf terrorism, you know school shooters to the rise of the power of the authoritarian
- 19:05ultra-nationalist
- 19:07Demagoguery they claim that it's uh, you know, that's some sort of a trump
- 19:12Yes now trump if he was staying totally nationally or doing things
- 19:16I said yesterday that i'm trying to embrace the fact that reality exists and that we're going to steal greenland
- 19:25We've already stolen venezuela, but I I don't want it ever to be said that I am
- 19:32For this kind of government bullshit and government overreach because I am not
- 19:37that I I do not believe that what we are doing is
- 19:42An existential threat to america like they're trying to pump down our throats
- 19:47This is the same old story from a reverse angle
- 19:51instead of the global elitists being people like
- 19:55The clinton's the biden's the obama's it's they've been pushed down a level for a while
- 20:03They'll come back
- 20:04Or or their heirs will come back. That's what's gonna happen
- 20:09and uh, you know, they'll they'll be back at some point might not be the the 20
- 20:15uh
- 20:16the 2024 elections, but uh
- 20:20Uh, what am I talking about 2028 elections, but they'll they'll be back, you know, and we may be in
- 20:27The in a different path. I always talk about the pendulum swinging and the pendulum goes, uh, you know both ways, you know
- 20:36And we're at we're at one extreme of the pendulum right now, but don't think it won't be going back the other way
- 20:43A progressive welcome international organization and regimes such as the united nations after world wars
- 20:50were conducted but argued that these initiatives suffered from a
- 20:54Democratic deficit and they tried to create all these free
- 20:58States like ukraine ukraine ain't free ukraine doesn't have anything relate
- 21:04Related to democracy, right? It's just not there. This was used during the cold war. There's plenty of history on
- 21:13New world order but post-cold war the new world order was a focus of the american christian right
- 21:20Allegedly by wikipedia. I don't believe that I think it was it was uh more of a centrist
- 21:26deal and uh, the new world order is a prophesied anti-christian enemy established by globalists who use perceived secular
- 21:36philosophies such as
- 21:38Environmentalism feminism socialism to thwart christianity through the work of organizations such as the u.n
- 21:46the european union world trade organization world health organization
- 21:50These are all corrupt organizations every single one of them that they list is corrupt
- 21:57Crazy stuff it's been observed that throughout the 90s the galvanized language used by conspiracy theorists
- 22:04Led to militancy in the rise of american militia movement
- 22:08And anti-government ideology spread through speeches rallies meetings books
- 22:15videotapes sold at gun shows they allege
- 22:18shortwave satellite radio and now propaganda
- 22:22independent radio
- 22:25That these things are uh, these conspiracy theories they talk about they say the end time is a conspiracy theory
- 22:32They talk about the freemasons the illuminati
- 22:35The protocol of elder zion all of these things the knights of the round table
- 22:40They and open conspiracies
- 22:43They talk about new age people the fourth reich
- 22:46alien invasions
- 22:48Brave new world and they put all of these under the umbrella of this new world order
- 22:55Now we have have watched and mass surveillance. This is true. I mean all this stuff, but they say you're paranoid
- 23:02If you if you uh discuss these sort of things well just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you
- 23:10You know if you're not paranoid
- 23:12You're living in a dream world of your own creation
- 23:15Anyway, so the new world order we're talking about that
- 23:19My theory of the new world order is more of a globalist elite. Uh, if you want to call me a conspiracy theorist great
- 23:26but
- 23:27I believe that there is some kind of not a not a
- 23:32Not something that's been around and it had but it has been around but it's not the same
- 23:37people father to son father to daughter independent, although big families certainly with uh,
- 23:44generational wealth do have a tendency to be part of this
- 23:49And uh, you know if you can create your own generational wealth you can get your family
- 23:55Into this cabal, okay, I believe that huge money
- 24:00wherever it comes from
- 24:02Is the entry ticket and the fact that huge money is coming from so-called third world countries that really are not
- 24:10I think that's been a problem for these globalist elites that have you know done this stuff for years
- 24:16Okay, that's the sam part of the theory. Okay, and and and
- 24:22most of that
- 24:23With variation various forms of that, you know population control coup d'etat mind control, you know
- 24:30Alleged conspirators all these things. Um, I believe in certain
- 24:37uh
- 24:38Degrees, but I also am a realist and I think so you want to call me a conspiracy theorist great
- 24:43but what I wanted to get to was the fact that
- 24:46With trump came a huge fracture in this world order because trump was not allowed to be a part of it
- 24:53He was a loose cannon
- 24:55He was the grenade with the the uh pin already pulled and somebody just holding on the clip
- 25:02And that is donald trump
- 25:04And he has been doing things that do not comply with the rest. He has focused it back to
- 25:12America and you can like that
- 25:15I don't really like what he's doing internationally. I've been pretty clear about that and uh, you know
- 25:21Regardless of some of the justifications for what people have made that oh, geez, it's an existential threat
- 25:27China russia existential threats to the u.s. Bullshit
- 25:32and that that's crap and uh, basically if we would
- 25:38economically work with
- 25:40And not against these two great powers
- 25:44The three of them and people have alleged also that that xi jingping vladimir putin and donald trump could form a triumvirate
- 25:51That really could create
- 25:53a new world safe peaceful order
- 25:57The trouble is is the safe and peaceful never remains ultimately safe and peaceful
- 26:02But that for a couple of generations if the three of them had get together and create something
- 26:07And I would say you would have to add somebody like a modi from india
- 26:12Maybe some of the bricks countries remember me telling you about being at the bricks conference in kazan russia last year
- 26:18and getting interviewed
- 26:21By a fake vladimir putin. I was holding a photo of putin and it was like I had to speak to him
- 26:26And they uh, they asked me and I said well, you know in 10 years could america join bricks?
- 26:32Frankly I think that is and that was my instinct way back then
- 26:38You need to join these type of things that are focused on
- 26:42economic
- 26:43power
- 26:45You don't need to lone wolf it like we're doing and creating in the u.s
- 26:50Okay, and so with all that and the sam backdrop of what I believe the new world order could or should or is
- 26:58Uh, you know in my very and i'm open to discussion on that I I I like that sort of theory
- 27:04I want to share with you mark carney's world economic forum speech
- 27:09Okay, which just happened yesterday. Okay, and it's it's about a new world order
- 27:15It was at the annual meeting in davos world economic forum. Donald trump is going to speak there
- 27:20Um, I hope I haven't missed it, but I really haven't paid attention to the schedule and i'm doing most of it through youtube
- 27:25This is out on youtube and a lot of people need to pay attention to davos ukraine has been
- 27:31You know shuffled off to you know a much lower priority in the agenda
- 27:37And the agenda is greenland world power
- 27:42Sovereignty of many types and so mark carney gave a speech yesterday. He's a canadian prime minister
- 27:48I think is his title don't don't quote me on that
- 27:51It could they could call him something else and I always get I haven't really paid much attention to this guy
- 27:55um
- 27:56but
- 27:58He spent some time in china
- 28:00Create like I told you yesterday and and I followed that that speech yesterday. I walked you through what?
- 28:07I believe his name was jansen a guy on youtube spoke about
- 28:10canada
- 28:13Diversifying away from the united states and that is also happening
- 28:18And what we are causing and when I say we donald trump in this instance
- 28:23That what our country is doing in talking about seizing greenland and that be an existential threat
- 28:31Bullshit, it's not
- 28:33Seizing the venezuelan government claiming. It's a drug war that is bullshit, too. That's not true
- 28:41And i'm not saying they don't shuffle off drugs
- 28:44But there are far greater countries in the same region of south america
- 28:49That do it 10 times better than venezuela
- 28:52Ever did and you justify it by going
- 28:56By arresting a guy out of your jurisdiction and creating law that doesn't exist to keep him
- 29:03But the real thing is the same old regime change that america engages in to keep its power and the reason is all
- 29:10Economic don't go thinking this is anything other than economic
- 29:14uh theft
- 29:16We've stolen the oil and and all of the rich resources of venezuela
- 29:21And we're putting in a puppet government that will support
- 29:25america period
- 29:27And that is what we have done
- 29:29And and we have done it in a quiet and in a way that russia hasn't been able to do with ukraine
- 29:36But it's the same sort
- 29:39Of we aren't putting up with this on our border
- 29:42And so america can't really complain about what russia is doing in ukraine, right?
- 29:48So with all that being said I speak way too much, but it's my radio show. So there you go
- 29:53I've given you a very good
- 29:55uh, I believe
- 29:57View of samism we can call it the theory of sam
- 30:00uh that you can put
- 30:02Uh in your pocket and choose to believe it or not believe it
- 30:06But now we're going to listen to mark carney and this is about a 15 minute
- 30:12Deal and we will probably listen to all of it because this is important pay attention to what he said here
- 30:21It seems that every day
- 30:24We're reminded that we live in an era of great power rivalry
- 30:29That the rules-based order is fading
- 30:32That the strong can do what they can and the weak must suffer
- 30:36what they must
- 30:38And this aphorism of thucydides is presented as inevitable
- 30:43As the natural logic of international relations reasserting itself
- 30:48and faced with this logic
- 30:51There is a strong tendency
- 30:53for countries
- 30:55To go along to get along
- 30:58to accommodate
- 30:59to avoid trouble
- 31:01To hope that compliance will buy safety
- 31:05Well, it won't
- 31:08So, what are our options?
- 31:11In 1978 the czech dissident vaslav havel
- 31:15later president
- 31:17Wrote an essay called the power of the powerless
- 31:19And in it, he asked a simple question. How did the communist system sustain itself?
- 31:27And his answer began with the green grocer
- 31:30Every morning the shopkeeper places a sign in his window
- 31:34Workers of the world unite
- 31:37He doesn't believe it
- 31:38No one does
- 31:40But he places the sign anyway to avoid trouble to signal compliance to get along
- 31:46And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same the system persists
- 31:52Not through violence alone
- 31:54But through the participation of ordinary people in rituals. They privately know to be false
- 32:01Havel called this living within a lie
- 32:05The system's power comes not from its truth, but from everyone's willingness to perform as if it were true
- 32:13And its fragility comes from the same source
- 32:16When even one person stops performing when the green grocer removes his sign the illusion begins to crack
- 32:25Friends
- 32:26It is time
- 32:28For companies and countries to take their signs down
- 32:33For decades
- 32:41For decades countries like canada prospered under what we called the rules-based international order
- 32:47We joined its institutions. We praised its principles. We benefited from its predictability
- 32:53And because of that we could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection
- 32:59We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false
- 33:04That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient that trade rules were enforced
- 33:11asymmetrically
- 33:13And we knew that international law applied with varying rigor depending on the identity of the accused or the victim
- 33:20This fiction was useful
- 33:23And american hegemony in particular helped provide public goods
- 33:27Open sea lanes a stable financial system collective security and support for frameworks for resolving disputes
- 33:35So we placed the sign in the window
- 33:39We participated in the rituals
- 33:42And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality
- 33:47This bargain no longer works
- 33:51Let me be direct
- 33:52We are in the midst of a rupture not a transition
- 33:56Over the past two decades a series of crises in finance health energy and geopolitics
- 34:02Have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration
- 34:05but more recently
- 34:07Great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons
- 34:12Tariffs as leverage financial infrastructure as coercion supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited
- 34:19You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration
- 34:24When integration becomes the source of your subordination
- 34:31the multilateral institutions on which the middle powers have relied
- 34:35the WTO
- 34:36the UN
- 34:37the COP
- 34:38The architecture the very architecture of collective
- 34:42problem solving
- 34:43are under threat
- 34:46And as a result many countries are drawing the same conclusions that they must develop greater strategic autonomy
- 34:53in energy food critical minerals in finance and supply chains
- 34:58And this impulse is understandable
- 35:00A country that can't feed itself fuel itself or defend itself has few options
- 35:06When the rules no longer protect you you must protect yourself
- 35:10But let's be clear-eyed about where this leads
- 35:14A world of fortresses will be poorer more fragile and less sustainable
- 35:19And there's another truth
- 35:22If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests
- 35:30the gains from
- 35:32transactionalism
- 35:33Will become harder to replicate
- 35:36Hegemons cannot continually monetize their relationships
- 35:42Allies will diversify to hedge against uncertainty
- 35:46They'll buy insurance increase options
- 35:49In order to rebuild sovereignty
- 35:52Sovereignty that was once grounded in rules, but will increasingly be anchored in the ability to withstand pressure
- 36:02This room knows this is classic risk management risk management comes at a price
- 36:09But that cost of strategic autonomy of sovereignty can also be shared
- 36:15Collective investments in resilience are cheaper than everyone building their own fortresses
- 36:21Shared standards reduce fragmentations
- 36:25Complementarities are positive some
- 36:28And the question for middle powers like canada is not whether
- 36:32To adapt to the new reality we must
- 36:35The question is whether we adapt by simply building higher walls or whether we can do something more ambitious
- 36:44Now canada was amongst the first to hear the wake-up call leading us to fundamentally shift our strategic posture
- 36:52Canadians know that our old comfortable assumptions that our geography and alliance memberships automatically conferred prosperity and security
- 37:02That assumption is no longer valid
- 37:05And our new approach rests on what alexander stubb the president of finland has termed value-based realism
- 37:12Or to put another way
- 37:13We aim to be both principled and pragmatic
- 37:18Principled and our commitment to fundamental values
- 37:21Sovereignty territorial integrity the prohibition of the use of force except when consistent with the un charter
- 37:27and respect for human rights
- 37:30And pragmatic and recognizing the progress is often incremental that interests
- 37:35Diverge that not every partner will share all of our values
- 37:40So we're engaging broadly strategically with open eyes
- 37:44We actively take on the world as it is
- 37:47Not wait around for a world. We wish to be
- 37:52We are calibrating our relationships
- 37:55So their depth reflects our values
- 37:57And we're prioritizing broad engagement to maximize our influence given and given the fluidity of the world at the moment
- 38:04The risks that this poses and the stakes for what comes next
- 38:09And we are no longer just relying on the strength of our values, but also the value of our strength
- 38:16We are building that strength at home
- 38:20Since my government took office we have cut taxes on incomes on capital gains and business investment
- 38:25We have removed all federal barriers to interprovincial trade
- 38:29We are fast tracking a trillion dollars of investments in energy ai critical minerals new trade corridors and beyond
- 38:37We're doubling our defense spending by the end of this decade and we're doing so in ways that build our domestic industries
- 38:44And we are rapidly diversifying abroad
- 38:47We've agreed a comprehensive strategic partnership with the eu including joining safe the european
- 38:54defense procurement arrangements
- 38:56We have signed 12 other trade and security deals on four continents in six months
- 39:02The past few days we've concluded new strategic partnerships with china and qatar
- 39:08We're negotiating free trade pacts with india asian thailand philippines and mercosur
- 39:14We're doing something else
- 39:17To help solve global problems. We're pursuing variable geometry
- 39:21In other words different coalitions for different issues based on common values and interests
- 39:27So on ukraine, we're a core member of the coalition of the willing and one of the largest per capita contributors to its defense and security
- 39:36on arctic sovereignty
- 39:38We stand firmly
- 39:40With greenland and denmark and fully support their unique right to determine greenland's future
- 39:55Our commitment to nato's article 5 is unwavering
- 39:59So we're working
- 40:01With our nato allies including the nordic baltic gate to further secure the alliance's northern and western flanks
- 40:09including through canada's
- 40:11Unprecedented investments in over the horizon radar in submarines in aircraft and boots on the ground
- 40:19boots on the ice
- 40:21Canada strongly opposes tariffs over greenland and calls for focused talks to achieve
- 40:28Our shared objectives of security and prosperity in the arctic
- 40:33On plurilateral trade we're championing efforts to build a bridge between the trans-pacific partnership in the european union
- 40:40Which would create a new trading block of 1.5 billion people
- 40:45On critical minerals. We're forming buyers clubs anchored in the g7 so that the world can diversify away from concentrated supply
- 40:54and on ai
- 40:55We're cooperating with like-minded democracies
- 40:57To ensure that we won't ultimately be forced to choose between hegemons
- 41:03and hyperscalers
- 41:06This is not naive multilateralism nor is it relying on
- 41:11their institutions
- 41:13It's building coalitions that work issues by issue
- 41:17With partners who share enough common ground to act together
- 41:21In some cases this will be the vast majority of nations
- 41:26What it's doing is creating a dense web of connections across trade investment culture on which we can draw for future challenges
- 41:34and opportunities
- 41:38Argue the middle powers must act together because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu
- 41:46But i'd also say that great powers
- 41:49Great powers can afford for now to go it alone. They have the market size the military capacity
- 41:54and the leverage to dictate terms
- 41:57Middle powers do not
- 41:59But when we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness
- 42:05We accept what's offered
- 42:07We compete with each other to be the most accommodating
- 42:11This is not sovereignty. It's the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination
- 42:18In a world of great power rivalry the countries in between have a choice
- 42:24Compete with each other for favor or to combine
- 42:28To create a third path with impact
- 42:32We shouldn't allow the rise of hard power to blind us to the fact
- 42:37That the power of legitimacy integrity and rules will remain strong
- 42:42If we choose to wield them together
- 42:46Which brings me back to Havel
- 42:49What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth?
- 42:54Well first it means naming reality
- 42:55Stop invoking rules-based international order
- 42:59As though it still functions as advertised
- 43:02Call it what it is a system of intensifying great power rivalry
- 43:07Where the most powerful pursue their interests using economic integration as coercion
- 43:13It means acting consistently
- 43:15Applying the same standards to allies and rivals
- 43:19When middle powers criticize economic intimidation from one direction, but stay silent when it comes from another
- 43:25We are keeping the sign in the window
- 43:29It means building what we claim to believe in
- 43:34Rather than waiting for the old order to be restored. It means creating institutions and agreements that function as described
- 43:42And it means reducing the leverage that enables coercion
- 43:46That's building a strong domestic economy. It should be every government's immediate priority
- 43:51And diversification internationally is not just economic prudence. It's a material foundation for honest foreign policy
- 43:58Because countries earn the right to principled stands by reducing their vulnerability to retaliation
- 44:06So Canada
- 44:09Canada has what the world wants
- 44:13We are an energy superpower. We hold vast reserves of critical minerals
- 44:17We have the most educated population in the world
- 44:21Our pension funds are amongst the world's largest and most sophisticated investors
- 44:25In other words, we have capital talent. We also have a government with immense fiscal capacity to act decisively
- 44:34And
- 44:35We have the values to which many others aspire
- 44:39Canada is a pluralistic society that works. Our public square is loud diverse and free
- 44:46Canadians remain committed to sustainability
- 44:50We are a stable and reliable partner in a world that is anything but
- 44:55A partner that builds and values relationships for the long term
- 44:59And we have something else
- 45:02We have a recognition of what's happening and a determination to act accordingly
- 45:07We understand that this rupture calls for more than adaptation it calls for honesty about the world as it is
- 45:13We are taking the sign out of the window. We know the old order is not coming back
- 45:20We shouldn't mourn it
- 45:22Nostalgia is not a strategy
- 45:24But we believe that from the fracture we can build something bigger better stronger more just
- 45:31This is the task of the middle powers
- 45:34The countries that have the most to lose from a world of fortresses and a most to gain from genuine cooperation
- 45:42The powerful have their power
- 45:46We have something too
- 45:48The capacity to stop pretending
- 45:51To name reality to build our strength at home and to act together
- 45:56That is canada's path
- 45:59We choose it openly and confidently
- 46:02And it is a path wide open to any country willing to take it with us
- 46:08Thank you very much
- 46:15Well friends and neighbors I wanted to share that entire speech with you
- 46:21And that was mark carney now. I haven't been the greatest of mark carney fans, you know
- 46:27I'm not he's certainly better than justin trudeau who uh, by the way is dating
- 46:33I forget who is it? He's dating somebody. Uh
- 46:37Some uh
- 46:38Music star here some pop music star. I forget her name. I forget which one but uh, I always thought he was truthfully
- 46:45I thought he was gay, but uh
- 46:47I don't know. I never really paid much attention. But uh at any rate I if you if you
- 46:55I thought it was
- 46:56that speech
- 46:59Think about this think about what he said what he admitted about the world
- 47:09That we have all been saying for years
- 47:14The sign in the window, um metaphor, I like that, you know, and and and that truly is one of the reasons why
- 47:22these sorts of new world order
- 47:25Uh these sorts of I don't know what um
- 47:32Emphasis on you know the world that you think it ought to be, you know, um
- 47:37And and of course he was slamming communism and talking about communism. I
- 47:42Frankly systems of government all have their pluses and all have their minuses if you think that democracy
- 47:50Means that we're better than everybody else. You better think again
- 47:53You know having lived in qatar where they have a prince
- 47:58and uh, generally, uh
- 48:02Levels of and structure of
- 48:06I don't know race-based
- 48:09race-based activity which they really do and laws that
- 48:14I might not approve of you know, I I've told you the story about uh,
- 48:19Traffic light cameras, which I strongly oppose in and I always did when practicing law in the united states
- 48:27I remember canada had these stupid traffic light cameras and they were trying to charge people
- 48:33With a crime in a traffic light camera based on the license plate
- 48:38And well, there's no person you can't identify the person driving the car
- 48:43You know, how the hell you gonna charge somebody with a crime?
- 48:46You're gonna charge a car with the crime and who's the witness if the witness is a camera that is a
- 48:53monitoring but not live
- 48:55Seeing of a witness there are all kinds of ways to attack that camera
- 49:00So we had and I always did, you know from a constitutional
- 49:06american perspective
- 49:08but
- 49:09I got a ticket in qatar got something. Uh, I got a traffic ticket running a red light or something
- 49:15and uh
- 49:17with a camera
- 49:18well there
- 49:19The prince has put in
- 49:21Has put in these traffic light cameras. It's a different structure. You just pay the ticket and move on. There's no
- 49:28Constitutional. Oh jeez, or who's the witness? Where's the you know?
- 49:32They're the arguments just fall flat and i'm not in qatar is a fantastic country. I I I
- 49:38Loved living there for the year plus that I lived there
- 49:41And I hell i'd go back in a heartbeat morocco was fantastic in morocco is I was only there for two weeks but
- 49:49Morocco is is muslim and and it's and it's they they stop your car
- 49:56Just to check, you know, there's all kinds. There's roadblocks all over the place and there's police
- 50:02They just they don't chase people down the road. They stop
- 50:05They they're they're they're parked in little places along the road and every day they go to a different place
- 50:11And if you happen to go past there you will be stopped
- 50:14And they will ask to check your documents and blah blah blah in russia
- 50:18If somebody comes up and asks you to present your papers you do it here in america. You'd go. Oh my god
- 50:25Why are you stopping me that not so in other countries, but they're still fantastic
- 50:31Countries, it's just a different structure you live
- 50:35In the reality that you are presented and for americans, this is somewhat hard because you know, we have been taught
- 50:43Our entire lives that we are superior to everyone else. We just happen to live in the richest
- 50:50um
- 50:51We can say we're the best but I trust me other countries don't like us
- 50:57Plenty of other countries don't like us and and because of that, you know, we think we're american exceptional
- 51:04and
- 51:05In some respects we are
- 51:08In some risk, but when you go to a different society, you have to live according to the rules of that society
- 51:16and good neighborliness
- 51:18Is a concept that everyone
- 51:22Needs to everyone in every nation
- 51:25Everywhere, you can be as nationalist as you like and I and I like that, you know
- 51:31I want to focus on doing better for america and on the trump agenda for that
- 51:38Ninety percent of it. I back you know what? I I think this ice stuff is a little bit nonsensical
- 51:43it's gone a little too far in my opinion, but I
- 51:46You know, but I can live with that because there's so many other things that are that are so much better than when
- 51:54Joe, biden was in office. You know what I mean? I I saw a gas, uh
- 52:00price of uh
- 52:02two dollars and forty cents
- 52:04239 something like that. I was like, holy crap, you know, it's
- 52:10But what we've done is we've stolen
- 52:1350 million barrels
- 52:15Of oil from venezuela because our southern, uh
- 52:21refineries which are built to process that oil we're living with that oil being
- 52:28taken to other ports
- 52:30And the u.s
- 52:31Doesn't have the oil to supply because of a lot of you know
- 52:34Environmentalist stuff and for other reasons and that is the reason we are in
- 52:40Venezuela
- 52:41Okay, and trump was very direct about it. We're stealing their oil. You know, this is that's what we're doing
- 52:47Canada, he's he's he just like narco terrorism was the fake
- 52:54You know, let's let's i'm not saying it's fake. I'm not saying there aren't there aren't I don't call it terrorism. I call it narco trafficking
- 53:03but they they use that as a
- 53:09a
- 53:10Pretext to
- 53:12Attack and to arrest a sitting
- 53:15President and that was a shock to the world. I think that's part of the reason for mark carney's
- 53:22speech the u.n
- 53:25That's for other people that's not for the u.s
- 53:27We don't have to follow that we can bitch about it if somebody else doesn't but he admitted carney admitted
- 53:33That the problem that all the middle countries had for years
- 53:37Is that this rules-based order didn't apply the rules equally russia's been saying that for years
- 53:44So we have many other countries, you know, you guys are a joke you you create rules that everyone else has to live by
- 53:51But you never live by them
- 53:53You regime change all the time
- 53:56You do it all the time and we aren't in that
- 53:58We have existential threats to our security when you build nato all the way up to within striking distance of moscow
- 54:07And we've been telling you for 30 years not to do it and you wonder why we're making a stand
- 54:13You know, we've lived through world war ii and the nazi threat and if it wasn't for us russia saying this the europe would be
- 54:21Speaking german and that's there's no doubt of that
- 54:24You know, the u.s is 600 000 may have been the catalyst at the end that made it all
- 54:30Go away, but don't go make a living under the illusion that america
- 54:35Won that war
- 54:3826 million russians that died would say otherwise that died for their own country
- 54:46and immediately the u.s transferred away from saying that the
- 54:52nazi threat of germany was a problem and immediately focusing on the
- 54:56the communism
- 54:58Factor we switched right into that and demonized russia because
- 55:02They were a rising power and we knew who the two opposing parties were gonna be
- 55:09That's why they didn't you know
- 55:10That's why they lament not taking stalin out when they thought they could because russia was on its heels
- 55:16I got news for you. Russia would have fought all the way to the end, you know
- 55:20Is is what I believe I know enough russians. They're the exact same as americans, you know
- 55:25Nobody's coming to america. We'll fight to the last man
- 55:28You know that and you know that for yourself russia feels the same way about their own homeland
- 55:35and so
- 55:36Regardless of whether they live through stalin or not
- 55:40They've lived through the 90s and the current population having lived through the 90s and seeing that the world-based order
- 55:46Helped them not a stitch and instead came in and robbed them blind
- 55:53And took all of their resources and all their money. Let me tell you this with no equivocation at all
- 56:01They understand that when the mcdonald's of the world left when the starbucks of the world
- 56:07Left because we're going to punish russia. They saw it as a gift
- 56:12They created their
- 56:13Of kusnaya tochka
- 56:16Tasty period instead of mcdonald's that took all the stores they created star coffee instead of starbucks
- 56:23and all they did was
- 56:26Nationalize and sell they seized all of those things and then sold them to uh,
- 56:31Somebody else to operate them all of the power supply was already in there
- 56:37They did the same thing to auto plants and let chinese places come in and do it all the all the
- 56:43Development and the stuff that the america
- 56:47globalist
- 56:48Elitists were like screw them without our money. They can't do it. That's not true
- 56:53It's wrong
- 56:55and you know
- 56:57I I say all of that just to point out that this speech that mark carney gave
- 57:03If it's not a wake-up call to you
- 57:08To understand what's going on in the world
- 57:12it should be
- 57:14what america is doing and i'm a
- 57:16Patriot, you know, I served my time in the military. I'm a i'm a i'm a soldier. I I I I uh,
- 57:25I didn't fight I was in the in the army during two wars, but I was a russian interpreter we were you know
- 57:32That was just a constant, you know
- 57:33You know two fists raised in the air one in the east and one in the west and while you know
- 57:39Other wars were going on in the middle east that we created, you know
- 57:44artificially
- 57:46Our artificial wars were created everywhere else to seize resources, you know
- 57:52That's what that's what was done the political wars that we have fought as americans to steal other people's resources
- 57:59Have been going on for decades
- 58:00And
- 58:03We haven't we have not been good neighbors
- 58:06So you could call carney speech that he just gave and and if you have you know
- 58:11I hope you listen to all that and you can listen to it again. I would call that the
- 58:17Good neighbor speech remember what he said the same thing that uh that they pointed out yesterday we
- 58:24appreciate
- 58:25And are living in the world that is
- 58:30Not the world as we wish it was
- 58:34Those are powerful words and uh, I tell you what his speech and again i'm no carney lover
- 58:42But he's he's absolutely right that uh, canada is diversifying
- 58:47canada
- 58:49What what trump did with tariffs
- 58:52against canada and the demonizing of canadians and turning them into the 51st state
- 58:59and treating them like
- 59:02you know the
- 59:03The ugly stepchild, you know and slapping them around because you're you're beautiful child. Uh,
- 59:10you know is uh
- 59:12Is your world in this horrible harry potter stepchild that lives in the cupboard under the stairs?
- 59:19You know, it's just canada and and we treated them just like that
- 59:24And and i'm not saying that some of it wasn't deserved, you know canada we have been funding carney admitted it
- 59:32We've been helping them and they've benefited as he said
- 59:36from being a
- 59:38part of
- 59:40the
- 59:42Global elite now, I disagree
- 59:44Because what he didn't mention at all notice how he skirted this about what I told you yesterday
- 59:51For the last three four days before this davos, uh economic forum
- 59:57He was where he was in china creating deals and diversifying and making new trade arrangements there
- 1:00:03Canada is already in the arctic
- 1:00:06Canada could make some strong alliances with uh china
- 1:00:11in that regard
- 1:00:14On an economic level
- 1:00:16playing good
- 1:00:18economic neighbor
- 1:00:20And I don't understand why the u.s doesn't attempt that first in trying to instead we're creating a fake threat
- 1:00:29That china and russia are going to steal greenland, which is complete horse crap, you know was mentioned one time
- 1:00:36in a footnote
- 1:00:38of some report done in a un deal and uh, uh,
- 1:00:43But nope, that's what we're using, you know to talk about
- 1:00:46um, you know
- 1:00:49Anyway
- 1:00:50Excuse me. I still got that that long. Uh
- 1:00:54long present cough
- 1:00:56My emphysema from chain smoking 40 packs of cigarettes a day in my youth
- 1:01:01Actually, i've never smoked a cigarette, but uh, there you go
- 1:01:05um, let's see
- 1:01:08um
- 1:01:09I was sent a wonderful
- 1:01:13uh
- 1:01:15Uh
- 1:01:17Really sorry about that an ex post
- 1:01:21about scott ritter
- 1:01:23and uh, I believe
- 1:01:25um, this
- 1:01:26Is something that I also wish to talk about. I I
- 1:01:30Knew where I was going after the economic forum today
- 1:01:33You know that the the davos economic forum has been my focus but but get this
- 1:01:40This is according to scott ritter
- 1:01:42And if this is true now, this was shared with with me, uh by the uh,
- 1:01:49wonderful and talented
- 1:01:51Jr who shared this with me and he shared a couple of them
- 1:01:54But I only had time to read one of them
- 1:01:55And i'm going to share this in its entirety and you might be able to go and find this on the judging freedom podcast
- 1:02:02He'll probably share the audio of it today
- 1:02:05I'm not going to i've got a different route to go but I am going to share the story
- 1:02:10It says scott ritter makes a claim that if true reframes everything, okay
- 1:02:17and
- 1:02:18Scott ritter who I interviewed just the one time i'd like to interview him again
- 1:02:22Maybe i'll try to get him on this program
- 1:02:25Again, and see if I can get a good interview with him
- 1:02:28According to him trump's last minute decision not to trigger an attack on iran
- 1:02:34Wasn't hesitation but a deliberate deliberate move to dismantle
- 1:02:40A long prepared regime change operation involving massad the cia and the usual
- 1:02:47lindsey graham types of the world neocon warhawks
- 1:02:51The way ritter describes it
- 1:02:54Trump allowed these actors to believe that he was aligned with their objective at mar-a-lago
- 1:02:59He came to an agreement with netanyahu
- 1:03:02He let them plan
- 1:03:04Activate networks and position assets in other words
- 1:03:07He let the operation reach the point of maximum exposure and then at the last minute
- 1:03:14He didn't pull the trigger
- 1:03:16iran allegedly alerted by russia
- 1:03:20With trump's knowledge. We wonder moved in time to dismantle the entire covert network
- 1:03:26Assets were rolled up communications compromised entire infrastructure was destroyed
- 1:03:33Keep in mind that these kinds of intelligence networks take years to form sometimes decades to build
- 1:03:39So once exposed they don't simply get rebuilt the capability itself disappears
- 1:03:46So if this account is true
- 1:03:48Trump didn't just stop a regime change operation
- 1:03:52He removed the ability to carry one out in the future at least under israel
- 1:03:58You know for israel being able to do it
- 1:04:00Frankly I do hope this is true, but but the geniuses of it
- 1:04:05The genius of it doesn't stop there
- 1:04:09By allowing the situation to escalate right up to the edge trump forced iran
- 1:04:15Into believing that an attack was imminent and when a regime believes the moment has arrived
- 1:04:22It reveals itself emergency protocols also get activated
- 1:04:27military movements occur
- 1:04:29Communication pathways change and leadership protection mechanisms are triggered in other words
- 1:04:35Iran shows its capabilities in its hand
- 1:04:40And and who's going to support them I would add
- 1:04:45That response how they move what they protect what is prioritized
- 1:04:50What is triggered is priceless from an intelligence point of view
- 1:04:56Which you only get when the other side believes the threat to be real right
- 1:05:02Israel and its intelligence hawks were allowed to overextend themselves and expose their own covert machinery
- 1:05:11Iran was pressured into revealing its defensive response and what it would be
- 1:05:16No war was launched. No missiles were fired, but the strategic balance has completely changed
- 1:05:23If this was a carefully premeditated plan by trump
- 1:05:28as ritter suggests
- 1:05:30Then it was just a genius move
- 1:05:34warmongers themselves were neutralized
- 1:05:37The adversary was exposed
- 1:05:39War was avoided and trump walks away holding all the leverage
- 1:05:46Strategically, that's a masterful move
- 1:05:48And it's why trump continues to confound both his enemies and his allies
- 1:05:55and
- 1:05:56I don't know. That's a you know, people are going to claim. That's a conspiracy theory. I can see it as being
- 1:06:03everybody says
- 1:06:05most notably jr
- 1:06:07He and I argue, you know
- 1:06:08Friendly sorts of arguments all the time because he disagrees with things that I say
- 1:06:12I disagree with some of the things he says, but I love listening to him
- 1:06:16And I like differing opinions. I have no problem with it, you know, and uh, I consider him a
- 1:06:21long-time and very good friend
- 1:06:24And I know he disagrees with me on some of the stuff that I like to spew out
- 1:06:30And I am not as big a trumper as he is I don't know that there's anybody
- 1:06:37That is as big a trumper as he is and i'm not against that I I think that trump has been uh in
- 1:06:45many many respects
- 1:06:48Exactly what america needed at exactly the right time
- 1:06:54Think about that if you believe in conspiracy theories if you believe
- 1:07:01In
- 1:07:02End times sorts of things if you believe
- 1:07:06That we are on the verge of the second coming of jesus christ
- 1:07:11well
- 1:07:12trump
- 1:07:13Couldn't be better placed than he is
- 1:07:18As you know, I remember uh growing up. I grew up mormon and uh, we also have the end times theory
- 1:07:25I would share a story with you, but it's way too personal for me to uh to share
- 1:07:32Unless it's like, you know deep and true friends that I that I would share it with
- 1:07:37but uh
- 1:07:39There are things that I believe
- 1:07:41That I would never share with anybody
- 1:07:44and uh that I wouldn't
- 1:07:45That I wouldn't spew out. Um
- 1:07:4998 of me is a wide open book, you know, and I am
- 1:07:55Um
- 1:07:57I accept who I am. Okay, I accept, you know, my shortcomings in my you know, i'm i'm
- 1:08:05Comfortable in life at present. There's some things that I wish I could change. I mean everybody's like that, but in general i've lived
- 1:08:12Uh about pretty good life, you know
- 1:08:16And in my older age, you know, i'm not old yet, but i'm on the verge
- 1:08:22I'll be i'll be old before too, you know, if I was a young kid, you know, i'm old, you know, but uh, it's um
- 1:08:29But the older you get the less old you feel that's that's especially if you are generally healthy as I am, you know
- 1:08:37That doesn't mean I can't kick off tomorrow
- 1:08:39and so I believe in living the you know, the life that I wish to lead and hope to lead and
- 1:08:47Uh, you know, I hope that everyone else is doing the same but uh, the world is vastly different than what
- 1:08:56I was led to believe in my youth
- 1:09:00And to what and but some of those core beliefs that I learned in the mormon church are still
- 1:09:06In my in my brain, you know are are there those are fundamental tools, you know, i'm not a
- 1:09:14Far right, you know religious loony, you know of any kind, you know and far right religious loonies
- 1:09:20Exist in all kinds of religions. Okay, so but but i'm i'm
- 1:09:25I'm a a believer without picking a certain denomination. Let's put it that way. I have my own belief structure
- 1:09:34because I think every
- 1:09:37Earth-based
- 1:09:40church
- 1:09:41Has its own problems to deal with, you know, i'm not a preacher i'm not well, maybe I am
- 1:09:47i'm preaching to you live from the lake ozark real estate of the art studio today and
- 1:09:53but mine is the policy of of
- 1:09:57of of knowledge that you might
- 1:10:01You don't have to agree with me on but I hope that you respect my opinion
- 1:10:07You know, obviously if you if you're listening i've i've engaged you to think
- 1:10:12Part of the way that I I think or at least be an opposing point of view
- 1:10:16You know what? I mean?
- 1:10:18And I like listening to people that I don't necessarily agree with and when they carney thing came up
- 1:10:23For me to watch in the middle of the night. I was like, oh, geez. This guy's a uh, a bonehead, you know, I ain't listening
- 1:10:31But then I listened and i'm very glad I did and i'm very glad I shared it with you and I did because
- 1:10:38He is a person that I wouldn't
- 1:10:41necessarily
- 1:10:43Jump to agree with
- 1:10:46Liberal world leaders like those in europe. I considered to be weak and I find them to be weak because they don't
- 1:10:54Generally do
- 1:10:55What mark carney did?
- 1:10:59Stand up
- 1:11:01You don't have to agree with everything that he said
- 1:11:04But he believes what he said and that is why
- 1:11:09His opinion matters. He's not just spewing. I mean anytime hillary clinton opened her mouth
- 1:11:16I didn't believe a word of it because she didn't believe a word of it. She was a used car salesman selling crap
- 1:11:23To make sure that her generational wealth for her family was funded by money
- 1:11:29From those who wish to who fund ngos in the government
- 1:11:34I mean, what did her daughter get how many millions did her daughter daughter get from the u.s government never have to work again
- 1:11:41Did you think they funded their family?
- 1:11:45Uh for generations
- 1:11:49Do you think there's generational power now in the clinton family that didn't exist before
- 1:11:55uh, they took some form before they convinced
- 1:12:00arkansas to uh elect them
- 1:12:03And before they you know did their political ass kissing that is the game
- 1:12:10in democracy
- 1:12:12That's the game for the huge power if you lick the right rear end
- 1:12:18You can have that power you can get elected to congress and be fabulously wealthy. That's how it works
- 1:12:26And you can go in extremely poor and when you leave you're a multi-millionaire
- 1:12:31and hopefully you have enough to
- 1:12:34Fund your family for generations. The same is true state of missouri same is true in many states
- 1:12:41This is the reason why i'm creating and we have created civic outlaws. We wish to go after that kind of thing
- 1:12:48We wish to expose that kind of thing
- 1:12:50We wish to use sunshine law and freedom of information act documents to obtain
- 1:12:57information
- 1:12:59That is extremely useful
- 1:13:02And they have to provide it but it's expensive. Do you know I shared it with you last week
- 1:13:08that the alcohol tobacco morons in missouri sent us a document that says
- 1:13:15There's a sunshine request that we requested will take
- 1:13:20390 000 to pay for and they won't start until we pay it in advance and
- 1:13:2744 point some odd years
- 1:13:30To process and we can have the documents after all of us are long dead
- 1:13:36Then we can have them. That's how sunshine works in the
- 1:13:40Alcohol tobacco control halls of the state of missouri
- 1:13:44They're a bunch of nuts in there
- 1:13:46And they're one of our targets and some of it is out there on civic outlaws now
- 1:13:52You can go out there and see some of the stuff that some of these documents
- 1:13:57That missouri alcohol tobacco has just put out
- 1:14:01They're hilarious and it's like oh my god. Who do these people think they are? They're nuts
- 1:14:08And they they get to dictate their own morality to the rest of the world
- 1:14:13It's pretty funny. And so that is one objective that we're making on civic outlaws. Another one is
- 1:14:19uh, we're
- 1:14:21very concerned with hoas
- 1:14:24In florida and missouri, this is this is an important concept so
- 1:14:30hoas
- 1:14:31But they're and we're looking at multiple acts to go after them
- 1:14:36Because they are screwing the hell out of their their people they they paid for their
- 1:14:44Existence in their property decades ago. They've been paid off. But every year
- 1:14:50The fee goes up another hundred dollars another two hundred, you know, you're paying
- 1:14:58$1,250 for a lot rent
- 1:15:00for a
- 1:15:02Trailer park mobile home in a community of a thousand plus units
- 1:15:08And imagine this a thousand times a thousand is what?
- 1:15:13A million a million bucks plus a month
- 1:15:17To do what?
- 1:15:19Have a swimming pool that was built in the 90s
- 1:15:23They're funding the same generational wealth that's been going but they could but they're not happy with
- 1:15:29You know, geez two hundred thousand three hundred thousand a month, which would be a reasonable rate
- 1:15:36They're upping it every year because why they have to fund their uh
- 1:15:44globalist
- 1:15:44tendencies
- 1:15:46They're building generational wealth by theft from everybody else
- 1:15:50By by profit margins that instead of being 10 15 20 percent
- 1:15:56They're 500 percent
- 1:15:59And that's nonsense, you know, I have no problem with people making money. I I I that's
- 1:16:06The world we live in you have to make money you have to survive but screwing people
- 1:16:14That's what we're against
- 1:16:15and mostly from
- 1:16:19Governmental and quasi governmental organizations. This is what i'm talking about
- 1:16:23um, and and uh, so the but
- 1:16:26You know, i'm, sorry. I got myself distracted because I I live civic outlaws sorts of things just about all day long
- 1:16:34And we're creating this modern law ecosystem
- 1:16:37That is going to be a and it's and we're very very close
- 1:16:41We're we're starting it and but we're still doing a little bit of research on it and and it allows for uh
- 1:16:49Uh, well i'll tell that story another time let's get back to to to mark carney
- 1:16:54But I definitely want to share that with you and and I think that on wednesdays, especially
- 1:16:59When people are listening to damn radio in larger numbers
- 1:17:03Because it's a big day because it's a big day people start listening. Um in the you know early in the mornings
- 1:17:09And uh, I mean not that I have a decent amount of people to listen to me
- 1:17:13Anyway, you know, I don't have any trouble with that and I do it
- 1:17:17I would babble anyway, because I like doing it and uh, um, I I
- 1:17:24Hope that you also appreciate where i'm coming from and this mark carney thing from today and what america is doing
- 1:17:31and where I wish to focus back to
- 1:17:34Aside from getting distracted like I often do from my own
- 1:17:38My own when my brain wanders I go with it. I just go with it
- 1:17:44And sorry that sometimes leads to a bit of a disjointed show and but civic outlaws is very important to me
- 1:17:50And civic outlaws is something that is going to be a huge endeavor and what's charity 501 c3?
- 1:17:57We got all of our
- 1:17:59Documentation and we are ready to go
- 1:18:01And we are almost done with pulling the trigger and if you want to be a civic warrior, you can
- 1:18:06support us and uh, all of that is
- 1:18:10Is like 98 percent live we just have a little bit of fine-tuning to go
- 1:18:17And I think it's important because when we look at the world as it is today
- 1:18:25Government overreach is a fact of life
- 1:18:28What trump did in venezuela what he's planning to do and and I for me, it's a foregone conclusion
- 1:18:34He already said it, you know one way or the other we're taking greenland
- 1:18:38You know, we're gonna come in and you know, if we have to murder 56 000 greenlanders, well, so be it it's america
- 1:18:45It's america's destiny to you know, we're manifest destiny to uh own greenland
- 1:18:51I suppose and uh, what are we going to do about canada with mark carney saying what he just said
- 1:18:57He said that because trump is supposed to speak today, too
- 1:19:01Or is it tomorrow trump speaking this week?
- 1:19:04And uh, we will i'm sure if I don't jr will share the entire
- 1:19:11uh statement of trumpster
- 1:19:14Because davos is a big deal and I would love to be at the world economic forum
- 1:19:19You know i'd love to be a fly on the wall in there and to talk to some of the interstellar
- 1:19:23Levels of people in there, but mark carney said what many people including me are thinking
- 1:19:30That you don't just create rules for others that you don't have to live by
- 1:19:35and uh
- 1:19:36And I see how quiet he was about the fact that he he admitted it
- 1:19:41He said, you know, we don't always follow them ourselves basically because the u.s is leaded and you know if you agree
- 1:19:48Well, you don't say anything
- 1:19:51And we agreed with pushing russia to the brink
- 1:19:55We agreed with creating an enemy that didn't exist in russia, but now we're often joining
- 1:20:02forces with china
- 1:20:04You know in the arctic circle
- 1:20:07Think about it if canada joined russia and china and india
- 1:20:13In creating something what would that do to the u.s?
- 1:20:16I mean frankly creating it as a military sort of
- 1:20:24Existential threat to america, which I disbelieve
- 1:20:28I think is a foolish move
- 1:20:31I think it would have been and maybe you know
- 1:20:33i've had people tell me a lot of people and and you know, I I don't believe in this type of
- 1:20:40I don't believe in position-based bargaining which trump truly believes in he sets positions
- 1:20:48That he doesn't believe in but he sets the position
- 1:20:52The position is we have to control the arctic and in order to do that. We must have greenland, but he don't believe that
- 1:20:59He's lying to you
- 1:21:00He believes that we need to have a strong presence in greenland and we need to up our military presence
- 1:21:08maybe build a huge base up there so that
- 1:21:11We have a foothold give us a 500 year lease
- 1:21:16To the tip of greenland so that we control a huge portion on either end of the north american continent
- 1:21:23one in one in uh
- 1:21:25Alaska and one in greenland. I could support that
- 1:21:29I don't like lying to get there. I am an interest-based
- 1:21:34Bargainer i've given you this theory before I believe in interest-based negotiation
- 1:21:40Not position-based trump is a true position-based. I mean, that's all he does
- 1:21:45he makes uh outlandish demands
- 1:21:48that he doesn't think of that
- 1:21:51Outlandish that doesn't mean he won't use the military to enforce it. You know, he he like carney said he's seizing
- 1:21:58power
- 1:21:58and he is not living by rules he believes and he has said it the the the uh,
- 1:22:04What the hell is his economic dude's name marco rubio's even saying it that and there's
- 1:22:10his his morons, uh
- 1:22:14Stephen miller is that are that are spouting this crap off
- 1:22:19Uh that we're taking it regardless and it might makes right is what they're saying
- 1:22:25I don't agree with that from a fundamental point of view from also a fundamental point of view
- 1:22:31I do not believe the lie
- 1:22:35That is being spewed about
- 1:22:37that
- 1:22:38Russia and china plan to seize greenland in the future bullshit. That's nuts that is
- 1:22:46Propaganda to get people to say. Oh, yeah
- 1:22:49existential threat with the existential threat
- 1:22:53You know where some lone?
- 1:22:56Geopolitical commentator said, you know
- 1:23:00What if china and russia got together and took greenland?
- 1:23:05Wouldn't that suck?
- 1:23:07And you can
- 1:23:08and then taking that statement made by one lone wolf moron from
- 1:23:14far away
- 1:23:16with a with a paper to sell
- 1:23:18and turning it into your
- 1:23:22I don't know your
- 1:23:24uh belief structure
- 1:23:26for seizing
- 1:23:28A sovereign state another sovereign state. I think the seizing of of venezuela
- 1:23:34Was a huge mistake and a wake-up call to the rest of the world that rules
- 1:23:41Absolutely do not count
- 1:23:43If they can do that to maduro, who else can they do it to?
- 1:23:48Which by the way is the only reason
- 1:23:51That marco rubio and lindsey graham convinced trump that this was the right move. I don't you know and
- 1:24:01they lost
- 1:24:02The globalist elite people lost in ukraine
- 1:24:07They've lost
- 1:24:09They they they couldn't put up so they had to shut up
- 1:24:12So the backup plan is jesus. We gotta seize oil in
- 1:24:19You know, we've lost over there
- 1:24:20We have to seize, you know, we're not pushing russia down. We need to focus on our own hemisphere
- 1:24:27That I agree with I think we ought to pull back all the
- 1:24:30750 military bases around the planet i'm very much against
- 1:24:36the middle states the carnies of the world creating a
- 1:24:42I don't know what a core
- 1:24:45Some of what he said, you know, we have to we can't each
- 1:24:49individually
- 1:24:51beg for recognition from the hegemon
- 1:24:54we have to
- 1:24:56Work together
- 1:24:58to
- 1:24:59resist such things
- 1:25:02like stealing greenland, you know, I think the
- 1:25:06If you call it a position-based bargaining then what trump is doing in greenland is a mistake
- 1:25:13And in this one, they should be interest-based
- 1:25:17bargaining and not setting ridiculous positions that you know, you're not going to stick with
- 1:25:24And I mean imagine you're in a car accident
- 1:25:27You got a little fender bender and yeah
- 1:25:29And yeah, I don't know your back is sore and you go to a chiropractor for a couple of weeks
- 1:25:35the position-based
- 1:25:38bargaining is knowing that you got a million dollar policy from the guy who rear-ended you
- 1:25:44And making a position that your claim is worth a million bucks
- 1:25:49Why is it worth a million bucks because there's a possibility you might get a million bucks if you were really
- 1:25:55Injured does that mean you're going to get the million bucks?
- 1:25:59Absolutely not
- 1:26:01That's position-based bargaining
- 1:26:04interest-based bargaining would be you know
- 1:26:07I got these damn chiropractor bills that have never been paid and I got some collection agency calling me
- 1:26:14I want these assholes to quit calling
- 1:26:17The the position-based bargaining of saying well, they owe me a million bucks
- 1:26:22Isn't going to get that resolved. But the interest base is look. I really my interest
- 1:26:27I just want these people to quit calling me
- 1:26:30You got to reasonably settle this claim for me and i'm not asking for a million bucks
- 1:26:35but jeez, how about
- 1:26:3730,000 10 for the 10 for the chiropractor 10 for the lawyer and 10 for me if you do that
- 1:26:45I'm out
- 1:26:46And generally that that that interest those interests you had to hire a lawyer because they won't pay you
- 1:26:55You know, they'll give you a thousand dollars if you don't have a lawyer so you had to have a lawyer that lawyer costs money
- 1:27:02That increased the value of your claim it
- 1:27:04Remember the the position-based bargaining is the same in the other direction, by the way
- 1:27:10The insurance company is going oh these people are all fakes we're not paying them, you know, this claim is worth 5 000 bucks
- 1:27:17Yeah, but the danger is the lawyer talks them into creating a claim that's worth 250 to 500
- 1:27:24Because there's a million bucks out there
- 1:27:26That's a potential payout. That is your theory and I believe that trump and company are very seriously
- 1:27:34creating an error
- 1:27:37In the way they approached venezuela
- 1:27:40And what they are currently doing?
- 1:27:43About greenland and i'm very eager to hear trump's full speech at the davos economic forum
