Latest / The Aaron Day Show / Operation Warp Speed 2 0 -- The Control Grid Built While MAGA Sleeps
Transcript
- Welcome back to the air and day show. This is season three, episode. And we are kind of, we are building a theme over the last few weeks. Unfortunately, we are heading into what appears to be world war three, which is a continuation of Trump policies that are pushing technocracy at warp speed. And in fact, the title of tonight's podcast is Operation Warp Speed, the Control Grid. And I'm going to go through some of the developments just in the past week or so with respect to Trump's AI policy, with respect to this bill in the Senate, with respect to AI pushed by Senator Blackburn, Trump's cyber policy, as well as the IEA. which is calling for essentially lockdowns based on the energy crisis created by the war in Iran. And so we're going to put some of those pieces together tonight, which is an unfortunate set of events that is growing and accelerating by the minute. I mean, it actually seems like we're really close to something exceptionally bad happening. I mean, oil shot up to almost a hundred dollars a barrel again. And this is despite all of these emergency measures, you know, releasing reserves, doing all of these other tactics, despite all of that, despite trying to, you know, flood the market with some excess supply and so forth, they're not able to consistently push the price of oil down and gas is now almost four dollars a gallon. And I feel like this latest threat Nick Trump is negotiating with himself in the mirror. He's talked about the fact that he's negotiating a ceasefire. I don't think he's negotiating with anyone. I think he's put forward U.S. terms for stopping the war, but I don't think that just because you put together what you're willing to accept in order to have an agreement, both parties have to agree. I don't think he's negotiating with anyone. So I'm seeing all kinds of news. about bad things happening in the UAE and all over the place, just as we're about to launch ground troops. And so the situation is getting bad, but you know, as we talked about last week, I encourage you to, I guess I don't have the image for it, but go back to season three, episode ten. I had Craig Wenkowitz on last week and we talked about the board of peace. And I think once you understand the board of peace, you will understand what is going on in the Middle East. It's not about defending America from a nuclear attack or that Iran is two weeks away from a nuclear weapon. It's not about liberating the people. It is about the destruction and corresponding technocratic reconstruction of these areas in the Middle East. It's there in black and white with the Board of Peace and with the plan to rebuild Gaza. There's a thirty two page presentation about this, so there's no speculation they're planning on rebuilding Gaza. With six AI powered smart cities, with digital IDs, with AI surveillance provided by Palantir and Oracle. with a digital currency, which they're actually proposing is a CBD. Well, it's a government regulated stable coin, which I've been calling a backdoor CBDC. But in this case, they're actually pushing the Trump family stable coin, USD one. So it occurred to me today, I was thinking about this. So for years, people have been talking about smart cities and they've been talking about And we've seen these generic images and vision boards of what that might look like. Something that's kind of like a cartoon sketch drawing or whatever it happens to be. But it's still been somewhat of an abstract concept. And because it was an abstract concept, people thought it was much further in the future. And because it was being pushed by the UN or the WEF, some of these global institutions, it didn't seem like it was concrete. You couldn't really pin down Okay, well, it's a fifteen minute city, but how are they going to build that? Who's going to build that? For the first time, with this technocratic reconstruction of Gaza, we can see how it will actually work. We see who is implementing all the pieces. We know it's Oracle. We know it's Palantir. We know it's USD-One. We know that it is the Trump family, through Jared Kushner, Through this fund, an organization that he's created with money from Saudi Arabia that will be building the actual buildings. So now, you know, if you've doubted what I'm saying about what technocracy looks like and this idea that you have an energy credit based system and all of this surveillance, you shouldn't doubt it anymore. It's concrete. It's a plan. And the thing is, in the past, usually these things were kind of worked on behind the scenes. Then they were promoted and pushed through these generic sketches and drawings. Well, they're not even hiding this. This reconstruction in Gaza was announced at a press conference at Davos, of all things. So if you want to know what's going on, the Trump family is directly, along with the Witkow family, along with the Lutniks and others, they are the ones profiting from this reconstruction. So our children or us depending on your age are being sent to war we're being sent we're using american taxpayer money to destroy buildings destroy property and kill people and the revitalization doesn't benefit america it benefits specific families and specific corporations which is what i've been telling you technocracy is all about it is a political ideology it is not something that is contained or confined by national borders or part of sovereignty. It is a global movement. And now we can see exactly who is benefiting from it. And what Craig and I outlined last week was essentially that, you know, we've had war profiteering forever in this country. Every war there's been war profiteering. And I talked about everything from the Civil War all the way up through Halliburton and so on and so forth, and the administrations and who was involved and how they were tied. But historically, this kind of war profiteering was done behind the scenes. And in fact, they intentionally were trying to conceal it, and only in rare cases was it even figured out. And only in one case with Harry Truman was anything ever actually done about it. But each war has gotten increasingly worse in terms of the severity and the amount of corruption involved. And so most people think of something like Dick Cheney, who was a sitting vice president and was making a million dollars a year from Halliburton while sitting as the vice president, while all of this war was going on and Halliburton was getting all these contracts. And people were outraged by that. But it's a million dollars a year. That pales in comparison to what the Trump family and the Witkoffs and the Lutnicks are doing publicly in press conferences. And I will say this, I've warned people about JD Vance and that he's a puppet for Peter Thiel. But, you know, there's no conflict of interest for the vice president. So there's nothing illegal about Dick Cheney making a million dollars a year, just like there's nothing illegal about J.D. Vance owning part of Android and owning part of these companies that are benefiting. That's actually perfectly legal because there's no conflict provision for the role of vice president. Now, technically, there is for the president, but Trump is doing something that's completely flagrant. He is the chairman for life of the Board of Peace. And it was just announced today that they, I believe, have directed one point five billion dollars of the United States taxpayer money through the secretary of state, through the Department of State into the Board of Peace. The original structure for this, if you want to be a participant in the Board of Peace, you have to contribute a minimum of a billion dollars. Trump has stated that the US will provide ten billion dollars, but he needs Congress to approve that. And frankly, at this point in time, I don't believe based on where he's at now, Congress is likely to do that. So as with a lot of these things like the backdoor investment into Intel and so forth, he found a way to do it through the Secretary of State. So the us as taxpayers, we have put a billion and a half dollars into an organization that he's the chair of for life, that his family and others connected to him are profiting from all of these reconstruction projects. This is technocracy. This is follow the money. This is what's going on. So there's no more mystery to it. And it's not America first. America doesn't have anything to do with it other than we're paying for it with our money and our own lives and the lives of our children. So that's what we're putting up, but we have no stake in the outcome. So I encourage you to watch that episode. The episode before that, I had Dan O'Neill on and we talked about enemies of the state. And I focused on Roman Storm. I have more. I'm going to be doing more episodes between now and the end of May at the Libertarian National Convention where we're going to have another enemies of the state event. I'm going to be highlighting and bringing on some others, including Roman Sterlingoff, who was sentenced to twelve and a half years in a case of actually mistaken identity. What he was convicted of shouldn't be a crime anyway. It's kind of a similar thing to Roman Storm and others, kind of a mixing service. But in his case, he didn't even actually do it. And so I've got the good news that his appeal has at least been accepted. So we're going to have his lawyers on to talk about this. I heard the story in the Naritopia and really want to share it with you guys. I just had another meeting yesterday with another guy from Canada who has been hounded by Essentially, the Canadian version of the CIA basically sabotaged his company, tried to poison his wife. He had to flee the country. Just it's on and on and on. It's just it just continues. And so this enemies of the state event is going to be a phenomenal event. You know, I think, you know, Ammon Bundy is going to be there. Afroman, I believe, is going to be there. Mark Edge and Bonnie Freeman and others all be speaking. We haven't finalized exactly how the program is going to work, but we'll likely be live streaming it through multiple channels, really to try to raise as much awareness about these enemies of the state, these victims of the state as possible. So I'm really excited and we'll be talking a lot more about that and probably will have Dan on again to walk through that. And then the episode before that, season eight, I talked about my political campaign, which is inching forward. I mean, we're about at the go no go point on this. And, you know, kind of my demands. Well, actually, before I say that, you can see the details on that episode. But this just came out today, this morning, New Hampshire, twenty twenty six poll. So in the critical U.S. Senate race now, remember from last week, The prediction markets now show that control of the Senate is basically a coin toss. In fact, the Democrats have a slight edge now, whereas four or five months ago, the Republicans, based on the prediction markets, had an eighty percent chance of retaining the Senate. Now they're less than fifty percent. And as I've been saying the entire time, New Hampshire may turn out to be the determining factor for which party ends up controlling the United States Senate. And I have influenced directly the outcome of this seat before in twenty sixteen, winning almost eighteen thousand votes. And the margin of error was eleven hundred votes or seventeen hundred votes, something like that. It was it was it was a clear I was the clear margin of difference there. There's a four way race for the libertarian. Well, here's the news today. The Democrat Chris Pappas is leading the Republican by one percent. It's a forty five forty four race. Now, they didn't poll me. They didn't include me in the polls just as they didn't in twenty sixteen. And Emerson and UNH and Larry Sabato has this thing called the crystal ball. They were all wrong. They actually called the wrong outcome of the race. I don't know what it's going to take or at what point they're going to include me. But very clearly with this kind of a margin, I will. if I'm in this race, Sununu will lose. And at this point, based on what's going on nationally, that will cost Republicans control of the U.S. Senate. So am I going to run? I mean, my, you know, the whole reason that I'm looking at this isn't that I think if I'm elected, I'm going to be able to fix the Senate. I'm running because Trump has not followed through on what he said he was going to do. So, you know, my demands to not continue forward in the race, he needs to, one, take the draft off of the table i was just watching a collage of video clips of trump interview after interview video after video talking about how he was never going to get us into the middle east talking about how horrible the neocons are how it's cost us trillions of dollars on and on i mean it's not just one clip it was one of the major components of his race and we've gone from that to us starting this conflict in iran and now talking about a draft and and even changing the enlisted enlistment requirements to now you know people up to age forty two can enlist and if you've had a one marijuana conviction you can now participate in the military action if you were forced out of the military because you declined the vaccine or whatever you're now eligible i mean this is insane this is a massive massive violation of what he said he was going to do the second thing is he needs to actually end the war on crypto and he needs to pardon all of these crypto prisoners of war that we talked about um on on this episode including you know ian freeman and roger veer and roman storm and roman sterling off and keone rodriguez and william hill and ray yusef uh all of these guys know just he did a blanket pardon of the j-six prisoners do a blanket pardon of these crypto prisoners of war these are the real victims of biden era policy with the exception of ray yusef who was actually charged under trump but most of these are victims that are still dealing with the consequences of biden but trump never slowed it down he didn't stop the prosecutions he didn't pardon these people. He didn't do anything. And these are all people that promoted economic freedom, privacy, innovation. So that's point number two. Point number three, he needs to fire Howard Lutnick. This is out of control. If you've been listening to my podcast for months, actually at this point for over a year, I've been talking about Howard Lutnick. And I've been talking about predominantly his ties initially to Tether, but now it gets worse and worse and worse. Now, was the guy that promoted uh tariffs and was all big on this while his family's firm shorted uh you know the basically bet on the supreme court overturning the tariffs made billions of dollars on that i heard today i need to validate this but it's my understanding that lutnik they've been talking a lot about how somebody just made a billion and a half dollars or whatever it is on the price of oil, on basically shorting oil, immediately before Trump came out and announced this ceasefire deal, which by the way, is fake. Now, I heard Alex Jones say, and I don't usually listen to Alex Jones, but I tuned him in just to see what level of mental gymnastics he's up to today, and he's claiming that it was Lutnik and Lutnik's family that profited from that investment. I will certainly track that down, but mean at this point the epstein stuff on it like it's it's just so blatant that not that we have much of a reputation left as a country uh this guy just you know he's a laughingstock he just makes the comp the entire country not look credible at all so you know those are um those are the main those are the top you know points that happened in the fourth is actually the rejection of the Clarity Act. Now, the Clarity Act is the biggest surveillance bill in the United States history, and no one is looking at it this way. Nobody is talking about it this way because they're looking at it as, oh, we're going to be able to have stable coins. Maybe we'll be able to, you know, earn yield on stable coins or For one case, we'll be able to buy my bag. And so I'm going to make a lot of money on crypto. That's not what it's about. It's about a regulatory framework for creating digital tokens that represent everything that you own, your stocks, your for one case, your retirement plan. Gold, silver, your home, all of those things will be tokenized, but we'll have the same level of surveillance as CBDCs. They'll be able to be tracked, programmed and censored. That is what the legislation is all about. This is how you will own nothing. And it's a horrible piece of legislation. And, you know, there is nothing less competent than crypto bros with their foray into crypto. I've never seen anything less expertly pulled off in my life. These people got a lot of money in crypto, knew nothing about politics, then paid a bunch of consultants, two thousand dollars an hour to basically sabotage everything that they were doing. And then at some point they have so much money in it to save face. They'll do anything to just get anything done so that they don't look like the morons that they are. It is exceptionally bad. So not only is everything that we own going to be surveilled and controlled by third parties, they're not even getting the yield that they want. So this is gonna end up being a big win for the banks. It's gonna be a big win for all of the intermediaries that are involved with commodities and securities. And then maybe like one or two crypto exchanges will benefit and every individual will get screwed. Our transactions will be monitored in real time. Our transaction history will be able to be reconstructed. This information will be sent and shared with multiple departments of the federal government and with foreign central banks so that bill needs to stop the clarity act is the war on crypto the crypto prisoners of war still being incarcerated or facing incarceration that is the war on crypto so the only thing that i'm saying to trump and what would get me out of this race is if he did what he said he was going to do Take the draft off the table, get the most corrupt person in his cabinet out of the administration, free the crypto prisoners of war and stop with the Clarity Act, which is the biggest piece of surveillance legislation. So that's what all this hinges on. And, you know, time is running out. And once I'm in, I'm in. And when I'm in, you know, I'm not going to hold back. When I ran in twenty sixteen, I didn't have a Web site. I didn't raise any money and I didn't campaign. I fully intend to do workshops and speeches and town hall meetings across the entire state. And people are going to learn about technocracy. And I'm going to teach people or remind people to relearn something that they've forgotten, which is that our rights don't come from government. Our rights don't come from Washington, D.C. And that we can take those back by not complying. Not that I'm going to go to Washington, D.C. and fix Washington, D.C., but that they can improve their own lives by not using the dollar, by exiting the healthcare system, that they are not stuck with these fake choices between politicians and rigged parties. They have the ability to choose what they want to do with their own energy, their own resources, and their own time. That's what the race is going to be about. And if you are John Isinunu, and you were a deciding vote on TARP and the Patriot Act, and real ID, and then you became a WEF board member and then became a lobbyist. Everything that I've been talking about for three and a half years, every interview, every article, every book, every meme, every song, this guy is who I'm talking about. So it's not going to be a fun time for John Issununu if this moves forward. I do want to say, I want to thank everybody that has continued to recommend me on other podcasts. I've said this many times. I've never, I don't have a marketing team. It's me. And I've never reached out to anyone to get onto a podcast. So all of these shows that we've never been on and it's now, it's just a vast, massive list. It seems like I'm doing a lot of repeat interviews all the time and going on a lot of different shows multiple times. All of that came from, from you guys recommending me or, from them finding clips of this show. So I want to thank you for that. And, you know, show you, these are some of the ones that just yesterday it was released. I did an interview, Steve Patterson. I did an interview with Catherine Austin Fitz. Steve and I also had the interview with Brett Weinstein, which I thought was a great one on the hijacking of Bitcoin. There was also Jake Shields. I was on with Alex Newman and on and on and on. And there were some other big, big interviews coming up. over the next month. And there's stuff I can't talk about yet. But over the next ninety to one hundred and eighty days, this is really building. And I will say even the shadow ban seems to have been lifted even on my account. I've been getting anywhere from two to four million views a week on X, which is just way, way above where I've ever been. So the word is getting out. And so I'm really grateful for everyone that has helped to spread the word and to help introduce this to others and keep it up if you've got other shows that you think i would be a good fit for um they don't have to be huge shows i actually like shows where you know you know whoever is is running the show it's their show it's their content they're not captured they have their own audience and they are there as an authentic voice representing themselves and they've built their own following and that doesn't have to be a huge audience um i i i value authenticity over anything else. And so I'm not just shooting for the larger and larger shows. We want to keep getting the word out there because we are at the end stages of this. Again, Real ID, backdoor CBDCs, the Board of Peace on the verge of World War III, and what I'm going to talk about tonight, we don't have much time left. So with that said, I'll now get into tonight's topic, which is Operation Warp Speed. So in twenty twenty, they told us that Operation Warp Speed was about saving lives. Of course, once again, here was Trump as the main guy delivering that message. They bypassed every safeguard. They rammed it through. There was no debate, no scrutiny. Anyone who asked questions was deemed anti science. Three hundred and thirty million people got the product. And in twenty twenty six, the same thing is happening again, but the product is not a vaccine. This time the product is the entire technocratic control grid. So we're talking about energy, voting, artificial intelligence, cyber warfare. There's four systems, but it's really one technocratic architecture. And they're building it once again at warp speed, but while mega, I was going to say sleeps, but is actually complicit with what's going on. In many cases, celebrating this. So tonight it's just going to be me, no guest, but I'm going to walk through, you know, thirty or so slides that walk through some of these major initiatives that are going on. And this is above and beyond all of the stuff that I've been talking about. This is not another regurgitation of the Clarity Act or genius. This is all different. These are all different policies, AI policies, cyber policies and so forth. And a lot of this is new within the last week and people need to be aware of it because this stuff is being pushed out while we're now distracted by war. So these are kind of the key facts of this. So we have the IEA talking about sheltering us from oil shocks and coming out with their ten point plan on March the twentieth. So that was just a little less than a week ago. We have the Save America Act. which I know a lot of people are going to be pissed off if they hear about it. Oh no, we've got to fix voting. And I'll talk about my thoughts on this. But I even said, you know, at the early part of Trump's election, I mean, they're going to end up pushing digital ID and everything and they'll use voting and MAGA will cheer it on and they'll say, oh, this is great. We need this for voting. And sure enough, this is kind of how this is being pushed. And all of this is, is being cobbled together. We have Trump's America AI Act, which is two hundred ninety one pages that was dropped on March the eighteenth. So just a little over a week ago. And then we have Trump's cyber strategy, which is a short document that was released on March the sixth. So the presentation I'm doing tonight is based on the these original source documents. So there's no like I'm not providing you an analysis of somebody else's analysis. I'm telling you what's in the actual documents themselves. And in the show notes, I provided, I believe links, I guess it depends on which channel, but there are links to all of the original source material. So you can look at this yourself. But let's start with the IEA, the International Energy Agency, which was founded in nineteen seventy four as a response to the Arab oil embargo. So there are thirty one member countries. It's headquartered in Paris. And the people participating in this are not elected by anyone. They don't answer to any voter, but they write energy policies and make recommendations that governments treat as gospel. So their current executive director is Fatih Birol, a Turkish economist who's been pushing the net zero transition harder than essentially any politician on earth. He is a key partner of the World Economic Forum and the UN, funded by... government contributions, this means your tax dollars. And so last week they published a document that basically reads like COVID lockdowns for energy. So let's dig into this. I actually put out a post about this while I was traveling last week, but it's essentially their ten point plan that they call sheltering from oil shocks. So this is kind of like the similar language they even use during COVID. um but when they did that you know brent crude went to a hundred and twenty dollars a barrel after the straight of hormuz was closed and then you know it's dropped and gone up back and forth based on basically posturing otherwise it would be going straight up uh but their solution is a ten point plan that you can see here on the screen but i'll read it since i know a lot of you aren't actually watching this um mandatory energy rationing For residents and businesses, we have vehicle use restricted only to essential services only, public transportation capacity reduced by fifty percent, remote workers required for all non-critical sectors, strict limits on travel distance, immediate suspension of international flights, nationalized distribution of fuel and essential goods, curfews and restricted movement, increased surveillance, for non-compliance and temporary closure of non-essential industries. Now, again, this isn't something that has legal weight, but these are recommendations that governments typically follow, kind of like what happened with COVID policy. Oh, the IEA said this, we've got an emergency. And I haven't vetted all of this, but you're already seeing in many countries, China has massive gas lines. I hear Australia, might actually be the first to have lockdowns, which here we go again. They were one of the worst countries when it came to COVID lockdowns and vaccine mandates. India, South Korea, other countries in a very desperate situation, all of Europe. Europe already had tremendously high gas prices even before all of this. And so this is a real situation that is getting worse. by the day. And people were talking about California may soon have issues. Certainly it's not a crisis. I just saw before starting this podcast, a tweet in my feed with, you know, Trump saying, well, we have more oil in this country and that country we'll just drill baby drill that again. But, you know, again, it takes time to ramp all of this stuff up. And, uh, we are certainly not immune from, from any of this. And the, and the interesting thing is remember, The basis of technocracy is that you flip the economy from being a price based system based on supply and demand to a system based on energy credits. The whole purpose of it is an energy credit based system. Look at what's going on. This is how you get to an energy credit based system. You essentially contain and push all of your policy for all economic activity around oil. And so eventually you could see, and I've talked about this in different iterations, but you could have, you know, a stable coin or CBDCs. And then eventually that moves to a global digital currency and the backing of that digital currency ends up being energy credits. That ends up being what backs a global technocratic system. This is the vision of technocracy from the out, from the outset. And so we are literally living that right now, you know, and for so long people would have been talking about this. And even when I wrote about this, In, you know, in twenty, twenty three in my book, you know, I talked about ways that this might happen, how a combination of CDCs and the tokenization of assets could lead to a centralized system where energy credits are controlled. But this is a pretty fast track way of going about. getting there. And so, again, I've never predicted the exact timing or how it's going to happen. I've always said there are any number of emergencies that can push it. But consider what's going on. You know, we've targeted Iranian oil. Then I read Iran has lashed out against other countries and destroyed other oil capacity. Then we have our own issues with, you know, things in Texas, so forth, being on fire. And then we saw Ukraine attack a Russian oil facility. So we have you know, oil fields and oil producing assets being destroyed all over the planet, not even just confined to Iran. What a great way to create an emergency around energy and to use that as a forcing function for transitioning the economy to a system based on energy credits. So nevertheless, this is, again, where we are. whether we like it or not. Now, this is the COVID playbook energy edition. So what was COVID all about? Stay home. Don't travel. Trust the experts. We'll tell you when it's safe. Well, what's going on with this energy thing? Work from home. Don't drive. Don't fly. Trust the IEA. We'll manage your energy. The thing that frustrates me about a lot of people say, well, we've learned and learned from the lockdowns and we learned from covet i disagree i don't think we learned at all because people still believe that covet was about a few bad actors they're not understanding that it is a systemic problem and that we're actually fighting a political ideology and there there are people that are actually pushing this agenda that people continue to not want to believe that They want to continue to believe that this was an isolated incident. We're going to come in and we're going to bring in the Avengers and we're going to do everything else. This has been worked on for almost a century. And this really accelerated starting in the trilateral commission and their influence on the un which led to un agenda but they have been changing the laws through trade deals through in the united states the department of commerce but excuse me the department of commerce but doing this in other countries in europe asia and north america they have been changing uh in eroding our sovereignty to allow multinational corporations to push towards this for fifty years now just as i said the introductory remarks now it's no longer a generic concept of a now it's oh wait it's actually palantir it's oracle here are the specific pieces of technology that are being implemented here are who the players are and so i have said from the very beginning I'm seeing a comment here. Did you write the Brownstone article I read today? I don't know. I did not write it, but I know that the post that I did about this was picked up all over the place. I know Shannon Joy picked it up. I know Jeffrey Tucker retweeted it. So I didn't write the article, but some of this content might be referenced in the article. So the idea says avoid air travel where alternatives exist. And so, twenty to forty percent of aviation is work travel. So, just keep that in mind. And now, I was traveling. So, I was traveling all last week. And I will say that we had no issues. In fact, surprisingly, in Boston at Logan Airport and at the Tampa Airport, it was probably the fastest experience we've had all year through TSA. So, it was kind of miraculous. I've noticed if you're in Houston or Atlanta, or if you're in New Orleans or some of these other places, it's been an absolute disaster and it looks like it's getting worse. But we didn't see that particular situation, but now I'm hearing, you're seeing that some airlines are starting to cut service and you're going to see more and more of that. And so this is real and unfortunately, Even if there was some ceasefire or resolution today, some of the damage that's been done to infrastructure will take months or years to stabilize and get back to normal. So in any event, twenty to forty percent of aviation is work travel. Speed limit reductions cut fuel use by five to ten percent. And so remote work mandates could clear Car oil demand by two to six percent. So this is back just at a point where companies are actually starting to try to implement, come back to work, come back to the office policies. This hits. And by the way, it's going to be really hard to try to convince your employees to go back to the office if they have to pay five dollars a gallon for gas or more. So it'll be interesting to watch and see what happens and what that friction looks like. So the numbers might sound reasonable until you realize that, again, it's the same playbook, restrict, mandate, control, and repeat. And just like COVID, the people writing the rules will never follow them themselves. You will not see politicians. You will still see the same jets going back and forth to Davos. You will see the same politicians flying back and forth. This is not for the elite technocrats. It is for the commoners and understand Once you understand this technocracy as a political ideology, you'll understand that because people say, well, we have our constitutional rights. The system that they're implementing does not recognize individual rights or property rights. You have to understand that and you have to put your head around that. That the people in power, including Trump and including this current administration, do not care about the Constitution. They don't care about individual rights. They actually don't care about America first either. They are monetizing this themselves, not for the benefit of the country, but for the benefit of themselves. The project that is going to revitalize Gaza is not owned by the United States of America. It has shareholders and we are not amongst the list, despite the fact that we are the ones that leveled Gaza and everything else. And I will say one more quick thing on the Gaza front. If you were living in Gaza and the largest open air prison, and your home was destroyed, you don't get your home back. You don't get your property back. You will get a digital token that gives you certain rights that you can sell. And one of the rights might be that you get to pay, you know, seventeen hundred and fifty dollars a month to be in one of these. You're basically swapping the open air prison for a digital prison, but you've lost any sense of property rights or ownership and they're using tokenization. So I know a lot of people didn't understand what I was talking about with tokenization. This is what's happening. This is the exact plan that's being implemented. So their real goal is going to be to displace two point three million people in Gaza. And they will use tokenization and technocracy and technocratic control systems to do it. So anyway, this is just the opener. Now let's talk about voted. So again, the IEA thing was just a little brief thing that I wanted to talk about. But the main thing I want to talk about tonight are the Save America Act and Trump's AI policy and cyber policy. So the Save America Act passed the House to two eighteen to two thirteen and the Senate debate started on March the seventeenth. So on the surface, you need documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote, voter ID to vote in person and by mail. And it sounds reasonable, right? I mean, who could be against basic voter integrity? But read the bill. It's twenty nine pages introduced by Chip Roy out of Texas. It puts the Department of Homeland Security at the center of voter verification. The DHS, the same department that labeled parents at school board meetings domestic terrorists. The same department that ran disinformation governance boards. This is the department that will get to determine who gets to vote. So again, and I want to take a step back because, you know, Elon Musk is pushing this as if fixing the elections is somehow going to fix the country. I want to remind you that Republicans have complete control right now. of the House and the Senate and of the Supreme Court and of the executive branch. How's it going? So what is it you think is going to happen even if you fix the voting? And I'm going to say this and this is going to piss a lot of people off. This is just like the false belief that Trump and the Avengers could or would fix America. This is another way of denying personal responsibility and continuing to comply and hope on strategies that make no sense if you actually think them through. The problem that we have is not whether illegal aliens are voting in our elections. We fundamentally have a problem of two-thirds of Americans can't identify the three branches of government. We have zero to low information voters, not of illegal voters, of actual legal american citizens that will be in this dhs controlled system and voting they know nothing one of the original voting requirements was that you actually had to own property you had to have a stake in the outcome that is no longer the case we're at the point where we're preaching we're approaching a point where more people are dependent on the government than not dependent on the government so i'm sorry having A massive dependent class that has low to no information will not produce better results just because you put in place photo ID and have this run through the Department of Homeland Service. I just want to point that out, because if you believe, oh, this is if we don't do this, you know, America's lost. This isn't going to solve anything. It's another bullshit distraction. to give you hope rather than acknowledging the truth, which is that the system is systemically flawed and corrupt and that we need to exit and build. So I'm not going to spend a lot of time with the arguing with people about, oh, well, yeah, this is going to fix everything. But even still, if you wanted to look at it, you can see what is going to happen with the bill So again, fairly short bill on the surface, but it gives control to the DHS. Well, let's look at the SAVE database. So the SAVE database is systematic alien verification of eligibility. So this bill requires states to run every voter registration through the DHS SAVE database. This means the federal government maintains a database of every registered voter in America cross-referenced with DHS immigration records. So this isn't voter ID, it's a federal voter identity system with DHS as a gatekeeper. And there are criminal penalties for officials who register voters without citizenship proof. So private right of action, citizens can sue. They're not protecting elections, they're centralizing them. And look, this is the problem, and I knew this was going to happen with Trump supporters at the very beginning. People didn't like digital ID. People were complaining about Klaus Schwab. They're complaining about the WEF. But boy, it'll be certainly easy to do. Now they'll jump to do it if it's for elections. And so this is going to end up being, well, what is your photo ID going to be? The photo ID will end up being your real ID. What is the real ID? The real ID is a digital ID. And what is real ID going to be integrated with? It's going to be integrated with what Palantir is doing, which is integrating federal government databases, thanks to Doge. So now all of the information is going to be consolidated and centrally controlled through the federal government using AI. If you think that is a good idea, you don't have the first clue of what Liberty is about. If you think that because it's Trump, that somehow, even if you still at this point are naive enough to believe that Trump is on our side and is going to save Western civilization, which I have no idea how to hold that view at this point. But if you did hold that view, what will happen when this system is put in place and somebody that you don't believe in? What happens if Gavin Newsom is the president or Kamala Harris is the president and all of this information is centralized? We already know some of the activities that DHS has been involved with in the past. Do you think that DHS is now a more moral organization that follows the rule of law? And I mean, just basic question. And do you think that if you do believe that, which is kind of shocking, do you believe that will continue in the future? This kind of centralization is incredibly dangerous, particularly in light of what else is going on with digital currencies, the Clarity Act, and AI surveillance. And so this is why I didn't want to spend a huge amount of time on this, but I did want to highlight the fact that this kind of centralization and control under DHS, are you guys thinking about that? When you're blindly cheering this on, have you actually gone back to put your history cap on and gone back to the history of the Department of Homeland Security and its founding after nine eleven and everything that it was supposed to do, everything that it has done, how it's violated our rights. Are you really excited about that? Now, you could say that we should have some form of voter I.D. Maybe it's left to the states, maybe it's some other kind of system, but the idea that it has to be controlled by DHS makes absolutely no sense to me. So this is essentially what we're looking at with the SAVE Act. You know, in this instance, twenty one point three million voting age Americans lack easy access to citizenship documents. So the bill requires a passport alone or birth certificate plus photo ID. That's it. There are no other options. So passport costs one hundred and thirty dollars. A certified birth certificate varies by state. You know, twelve percent of registered voters lack the required combination of passport or birth certificate plus photo ID. If you are poor, rural, elderly or born in a state with bad records, this could be problematic. This could lead to actual disenfranchisement. So this is not a clear, clear case situation. Now, of course, at the same time, I mean, as much as I say that, I also go back to arguing the fact that we have so many people that are dependent on the government and they vote. I think where we went wrong on this was a long, long time ago, and you can't put the genie back in the bottle. And this particular issue is not going to, again, fix the underlying problem with elections or how the political system works at all. So in any event, all right, let's... Let's go on to the Trojan horse riders. So this is what Trump demanded that they add to this bill. Trump was not satisfied with voter ID. He demanded the Senate add a ban on mail-in voting except military and illness. So Senator Eric Schmidt introduced an amendment bundling a whole bunch of things into this. including a ban on transgender women in women's sports, prohibition on gender affirming surgery for minors, which that stuff may or may not be good. But again, it's cobbled into this bill. So this is another one of these things. And we also have a housing bill that has some CBDC language in it. I mean, this is just typical. This is just the typical Washington, D.C. thing where a whole bunch of stuff is crammed in. These are, you know, probably things that should be voted on independently. So the other element of this is it's another unfunded mandate. So the states are required to fund this, but it is under the control of DHS. So the SAVE Act provides zero federal funding for implementation. So the states are responsible for building the verification infrastructure and then connecting that to DHS and then processing the citizen documents, handling all of the lawsuits from private right of action all on their own dime. So it's another encroachment on states. So the federal government gets a national voter database and the states get the bill. i can imagine how this could be weaponized in elections i mean you know i've stated this i did we my wife and i did a whole podcast on you know why voting doesn't matter but one of the things that i've been arguing is people have no idea how voting actually works it's all about get out the vote and the parties have these massive databases of information on voters and they use that information they have hundreds of data points now on every single voter. They know how much money you make. They know your magazine subscriptions. They know where you likely stand on political issues. So the centralization of this data, I could completely see whoever is in charge, whoever is in power at the time, using, getting access to this data in conjunction with the Palantir data and everything else and using it to their advantage in elections. This will actually give the status quo party more control over the election process itself. And to understand what I mean by that, you need to look at how these elections work and how they operate and how these get out to vote technologies and infrastructures work. And the Democrats have dominated on this because under Obama, they really took the lead in building this out and using technology to target voters. Trump won in in part because he was aided by Palantir. This was part of the support that Peter Thiel gave, which actually leveled the playing field. What we're going to have now is a situation which whatever party is in control is probably going to manipulate and use this centralized information to the benefit of their party, which will affect state races down ballot as well. So, you know, I mean, there are debates on this with election integrity. You know, according to Heritage Foundation, there are seventy seven cases of non-citizen voting over twenty four years. Now, this is obviously a highly, highly debated area right now. But there is a question of how much is this actually going to affect? How much is this going to. really changed the outcome. When they built the TSA, they said it was about nineteen hijackers. Remember that. Twenty five years later, every American gets scanned, groped or tracked every time they fly. Nine hundred million passengers a year. And it was stated that this was because of nineteen hijackers. And that's if you even believe that that story was true. And now look at where we are. And by the way, talk about the Overton window shifting. We actually went to the point. This is insane. People are now The fact that people are sympathetic of TSA agents, the fact that I saw this in some of these places where there's really long lines, TSA agents are raising money from the public to pay their salaries. We've lost the plot. The TSA shouldn't exist. The TSA has not prevented any terrorism at all. It is a massive surveillance operation. So we have been gaslit. I don't know what, you know, Stockholm syndrome, whatever you want to call this now. But we're now getting to the point where people are sympathetic for TSA agents. And now you have Elon Musk offering to pay, which is classic. Oh, let's make him the hero. He can pay for our unnecessary surveillance. Oh, he's a great guy. And now he's bailed out these great people at the TSA. This is how completely backwards all of this is. Anyway, they want to do something similar with voting. So small threat, massive system, permanent infrastructure. This is basically what's going on with this. So I'm not against the idea of voter ID. I am against the idea of the consolidation of power at the hands of the federal government, paid for by the states, particularly in light of what's going on with Real ID and Palantir and all of the other surveillance and all of the other technocratic systems that are being put in place. That's my main point. on all of this. So the SAVE Act needs sixty votes in the Senate to overcome the filibuster. They don't have them. So what's the plan? Budget reconciliation, frame voter verification requirements as conditions for federal election funding. And by the way, I've been working on this podcast and I do a whole bunch of other stuff today. So there may be an update on this. So if somebody has more updated information today, please Let me know. I just didn't have time to check whatever the latest is, but it's a similar thing. It's, um, you know, they can pass it with fifty one votes, no debate, no filibuster. This is exactly how they passed Operation WorkSpeak. Bypass the safeguards, ram it through, tell people it's for their protection. So this is essentially what we're looking at here. And so this is the voter ID that they actually built. So again, I'm not against the concept of voter ID. I'm against the consolidation of power by the federal government and especially the Department of Homeland Security, which is another thing, you know, we got TSA and DHS. I remember when DHS was formed and they can sell, what was that guy's name? Tom something from Penn
