In this political coliseum, we slay the rising beast with the fateful sword of truth that transcends hypocrisy and censorship.
0:16
It's time to unleash yourself from the tyrants of media propaganda on the America Outloud Talk Radio Network.
0:26
This is Unleashed the Political News Hour.
0:32
This is Unleashed the Political News Hour on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network.
0:36
I'm Chris Cordani.
0:38
Behind the mic for this edition of the show, you can find us at AmericaOutloud.news.
0:41
You can find me on exit at ChrisCordani1 and all over social media.
0:45
We do have a lot of fun there.
0:47
Let's talk about well, let's talk about a lot of things.
0:50
First off, the Oscars, we'll get more in-depth on that in Iran straight ahead, but I I just wanted to add this and or at least start with this.
0:58
These people on the left who hand each other these awards and give each other a platform to lecture everybody else about how horrible they are and how great they are and how aware they are.
1:11
First off, when they preach about uh the environment and keeping the earth clean, and they leave the place a huge mess.
1:17
And yes, I've seen the pictures, and I'm sure many of you have too.
1:20
If you haven't, check them out, they're all over the internet.
1:22
X especially.
1:25
You don't want to listen to them.
1:27
And yes, they're going to get political.
1:29
We we're used to this.
1:31
I understand that every once in a while you were going to see a political statement during an award ceremony, but it's gotten it's going too far.
1:38
Problem is for them, everything's gone into irrelevance.
1:41
And they fixed everything, so only wokies really win these awards anyway for the most part.
1:46
They have you have to be woke or at least adhere to woke moral standards, and believe me, I'm using the word moral in a very loose sense just to get nominated.
1:57
I'll read those requirements later on in the show if you don't know them already.
2:01
But it's irrelevancy.
2:03
That's as far as it's going for the group.
2:05
Jimmy Kimmel is doubling down on wokeness after making all his money from the men show.
2:10
Yes.
2:12
And he even got worse.
2:13
Oh, I'm so worried.
2:14
Uh I'm getting censored.
2:15
No, you're not getting censored, guy.
2:17
You never get censored.
2:18
You're not worried about this uh the the uh uh Trump running things.
2:22
Heck, you should be you're very safe with Donald Trump running the show.
2:26
The problem is you have to look over the shoulder of your woke buddies who are gonna cancel you if you don't step if you step out of line, excuse me.
2:34
If you step yeah, if you step out of that lockstep line, the line dancing that these uh these lefties do.
2:42
Conan O'Brien trying to make a an attempt at humor by making fun of the TPUSA halftime show.
2:48
Who's gonna get political, but Kid Rock has a showcase, an alternate show, blah, blah, blah.
2:52
Yeah, all right, fine.
2:52
I'm not gonna pretend I watched the Kid Rock show or turned over to TP USA during halftime.
2:57
I certainly didn't watch Bad Bunny.
2:59
Most of us know when it comes to halftime, it's sandwich beer, and maybe answering the call of nature time.
3:06
Between foot between a football game.
3:08
And he and I talked about how football was dumbed down over the years anyway, so the Super Bowl isn't even that much fun anymore.
3:14
But again, I'll digress.
3:16
He's trying to make fun of the uh the alternate uh TP USA halftime show, which by the way was the second most watched live stream ever at that point.
3:26
And I'm gonna I would be curious as to see if more people actually tuned into that than the Oscars.
3:31
And I believe we're gonna find that out.
3:33
Even young people, network TV isn't for them anymore.
3:37
And they certainly don't really I don't think they really care who wins.
3:40
Oscar night was a big big night for people for a long time.
3:43
Not not me, but a lot of people.
3:46
But again, they've decided to double down on irrelevancy, and they are enjoying it.
3:53
You'll say nothing, and you'll like it.
3:56
I guess that's their mantra.
3:57
And Republicans in the Senate, get some nards and pass that safe act.
4:01
I don't care what the Democrats do, I don't care what Chuck Schumer says.
4:05
I'm pretty sure you can find some sensible Democrats who don't want to see uh anybody cheating, and who know that even a huge majority of Democrats say that voter ID should be required.
4:16
That's their own people.
4:19
They the moderates say, and these are the people you have to convince to keep your seats in many of these states.
4:24
The moderates say, no, we need voter ID.
4:28
The problem is there's that lazy filibuster.
4:30
I'm not saying get rid of the filibuster, that's un-American.
4:33
The filibuster's there to uh to avoid or at least uh thwart the tyranny of the majority at times.
4:40
And believe me, a woke majority would have needed a real filibuster.
4:43
But the lazy filibuster is stupid.
4:46
Just so just so a bunch of politicians can fold their arms and say, I'm not gonna vote.
4:51
No.
4:51
You have to earn a filibuster.
4:53
If you really want to dig your heels, put your face and name behind, making sure that illegals are allowed to vote, putting your face and name behind, making sure people can vote several times, putting your face and name behind the idea that you you people only need to cheat to win elections now and in the future, and saying that in public, well, yeah, do that, but do it the real way.
5:19
Do it by reading the phone book or yammering on for 24, 48, 72 hours, try to wear down the opposition.
5:26
I'm hoping the opposition wises up and just lets them yammer because they're gonna wear down.
5:31
But you have to earn a filibuster.
5:34
And during these filibusters, we can have a nice snack like the bear bar.
5:37
I'm not talking of uh uh one of those healthy bars that call themselves healthy, have a bunch of uh weird ingredients with six, seven, ten consonants in a row.
5:47
They taste like a wet book.
5:48
No, the bear bars are savory, crunchy bar, something you can chomp on and sink your teeth in and enjoy.
5:53

I used to watch the Oscars when I was much younger.
8:58
I really didn't care.
8:59
For a lot of people, though, it's it's the Super Bowl for movie lovers.
9:05
But long gone are the days where uh with the glamour and the glitz and uh and the bally who of old Hollywood, and even the 60s, 70s, and 80s when the new innovative movies, the groundbreakers came through.
9:19
The 80s, of course, had some of those uh fantastic comedies because a lot of ground was broken already.
9:25
The 90s, well, I suppose the lithium-based Prozac type movies, but still, there were a lot of interesting uh flicks that came out.
9:35
And you wanted to know who was going to win.
9:37
I'll say there was a period in the mid to late 80s.
9:41
There's a period there where the Oscar the Academy was giving out awards to the most popular blockbusters.
9:48
I would say that I don't believe that Marissa Tome should ever have won an Oscar for my cousin Vinny.
9:55
I thought she was great in that movie, but come on, is that Oscar worthy?
9:59
Is that the performance?
10:00
Worthy, or is that movie an Oscar worthy movie?
10:02
It was funny, it's a classic.
10:03
I get it.
10:05
But we're not talking Casa Blanket here.
10:07
We're not talking uh uh Lauren Bacall.
10:12
We're not talking Joan Crawford or Betty Davis type acting acumen here.
10:18
I'm not saying Marissa Tomei was is not a great actress, and she was.
10:22
This is that part.
10:24
Oscar?
10:24
No.
10:25
And Julianne Julia Roberts winning an Oscar for Pretty Woman.
10:28
It was a comedy where she played uh uh a call girl.
10:33
It didn't really ask for her acting chops.
10:35
She has absolutely great screen presence.
10:38
I'm not a fan, but let's give credit where credit's credit is due.
10:41
And she is a decent, she's a good actress.
10:44
But that part, she's I've seen her, I've seen her do I've seen her in better movies and in better roles and and her perform even better than she did in in uh in Pretty Woman and didn't win anything for that.
10:59
So during that particular few years' stretch, it was pandery to the popular crowd.
11:04
It was the pandary to the to the to trying to get people to watch.
11:09
The eyeballs, and for all you kids, eyeballs on television were like clicks and likes back in the day.
11:15
In the 90s, the Academy got a little more pretentious.
11:19
No, they got a lot more pretentious and tried to find those independent films that nobody watched, but not a lot of people saw and saying, wow, this was so profound, we have to give this actor or actress the nomination.
11:31
It was almost like they were just trying to pat themselves and each other on the back for being able to watch something obscure and acknowledge that they've done so.
11:41
I suppose the film festivals and uh the popularity of those fueled things.
11:47
And yes, some of these actors and actresses, directors, writers deserved the credit for these great movies.
11:53
But I I would have to say that I'm sure some, and I did see this, a lot of talented actors did lose out to the and a lot of writers and and movies did lose out because they were more popular.
12:05
The Academy had to find a uh a happy medium, and they did later on.
12:09
Nothing wrong with that.
12:11
You're probably wondering, or you maybe you know where I'm going with this, but I am going somewhere.
12:16
The Oscars became unbearable after a while.
12:20
Yes, it was always a bunch of liberals, or at least for the most part, from the 80s on forward, generally at least the 90s on forward, it was a bunch of liberals patting themselves on the back and pushing their political views.
12:31
It was more subtle in the 90s because Clinton was the president, they always celebrating and petting themselves on the back for allowing them or having their boomer president.
12:41
But it got worse after 2000, when the uh when they lost power.
12:48
Keep in mind, every time the left loses power, they throw a collective hissy fit.
12:54
But as you've seen in uh, I suppose uh 68, when Nixon took over, and it was uh the media just uh became anti-Nixon from day one, and of course, uh you had 1972 where that one reporter said, I don't know anybody who voted for Nixon.
13:12
You remember her.
13:14
I don't remember her name because I was three at the time, but I do remember she said it.
13:19
I heard it.
13:20
I heard the recording.
13:21
The the point the point is they get they were very upset that Nixon became president and destroyed McGovern in 1972.
13:28
They were happy when Carter came in, and then it was uh all out war pretty much when Reagan became the president.
13:34
One reason is because he was an anti-globalist, second is because he was not hand stamped in the beginning by uh by the by the globalist cabal.
13:44
Jimmy Carter was accepted, and so was George H.W.
13:47
Bush, who the Republicans forced to uh force Reagan to instill as the running mate to keep an eye on the people, if you will, who installed Reagan, who voted for Reagan.
13:58
But the New York Times tried to form a narrative, uh saying that the uh the the uh inauguration was a coronation.
14:06
That uh Ronald Reagan is the new king, if you will.
14:10
I remembered this.
14:11
I was younger at the time.
14:13
I was reading the Times.
14:15
And I remember also Anne Coulter brought that back after Barack Obama was was uh elected president and inaugurated.
14:23
And she said she she remembered the whole thing.
14:26
She she wrote in one of her books, and I forgot which one, word for word, that whole critique.
14:32
Of course, uh after the liberal economy and the destruction of the economy by those who voted down the gold standard and brought in the Federal Reserve full time, Reagan had to try to fix all of that, and didn't have a lot of help from a Democrat Congress who wanted to spend spend spend.
14:48
So together they came up with a uh not a great economic plan, but for the first couple of years, it was rough, and the media just jumped on and go, Reaganomics, Reaganomics, Reaganomics, it was terrible, or or Reagan's mean.
15:02
Yeah, that's the other thing.
15:03
He was mean.
15:05
Anyway, I guess you already know where I'm going.
15:08
The Republicans win, the Democrats, the left thrower hissy fit.
15:12
You didn't know as much about it because it wasn't on the internet.
15:15
When they lost power in 2000 again, after eight years under uh under Clinton, they were they already got upset about the contract with America in 1994, and that Clinton had to work with the Republicans.
15:27
We know that.
15:27
But when they lost the presidency in 2000, they tried to do anything, they tried to say uh uh Bush cheated.
15:34
They let me put it this way when the uh whole Florida recount was a big deal.
15:40
Al Gore and his the Democrat machines brought down lawyers so fast to that state to try to cheat in that election.
15:48
They had to race to see what they could do about making things a little or or taking votes out of the hands of the Republicans at that point and trying to add more to the Democrats at the same time.
16:00
So the right had the Republicans had to do the same thing.
16:04
They had to bring somebody down there to make to keep an eye on these people.
16:07
But it was them.
16:08
They tried to steal the election, the left, the Democrats, and they didn't do it properly, they didn't do it well enough.
16:13
But damn, they tried.
16:15
Problem is they had a candidate who couldn't win his own home state.
16:20
And that would have been a lot easier for them, but that is another story for another day.
16:24
They threw a collective hissy fit, and believe me, they were celebrating.
16:28
I saw the celebrations, they were singing, there was a bunch of idiots singing non-na, hey-hey, goodbye in 2020, that is, when they had that ceremonial helicopter lift where the bushes were brought out, and the and uh the introduction of the Obamas.
16:43
You're all, hey, look, we made a difference.
16:45
Look what we did.
16:47
2016, their awful policies resulted in Donald Trump winning.
16:52
And the hissy fit got worse and worse.
16:54
I'm saying this because after the 2000 hissy fit, the Oscars got worse.
16:58
You see them going somewhere with all of this.
17:01
What was once a tolerably laughable ceremony where the stars would come up and maybe say something political, we'd say, uh, it's just a bunch of dumb liberals.
17:10
It became more vitriolic.
17:13
And this whole idea of uh look, not a lot of us were really for the idea of going into Iraq again, and not a lot of people were in love with Afghanistan.
17:23
They were kind of gung-ho after the 2001 terrorist attacks.
17:28
But watching the Oscars and all the award shows started becoming more unbearable.
17:34
It was oh what was it?
17:36
It was that uh was it some ahayak who won for Frida?
17:41
Uh she played Frida Kahlo, the you know, the artist that banged all the communists, and she's like, oh, Frida would never have supported the war.
17:50
Do that.
17:51
The woman had been a I guess uh a seducer or seductress of communist dictators who were warmongers.
18:02
Communist rebels, butchers, by the way, not a proof of the war, heck.
18:06
She loved the wars, she was a she loved warmongers and she loved wars.
18:10
I don't care what youth people think.
18:12
But the point is, it's always, oh, Bush sucks.
18:14
We got to get him out.
18:15
We've got to get him out.
18:15
Get another guy.
18:16
And of course, when Barack Obama was the nominee for president.
18:20
They quickly went away from the first woman president to say uh because you know, Hillary got the shaft then.
18:25
I'm not a big fan of hers, but she got the shaft in 2008, and you you know it and I know it.
18:30
But the Democrats knew they'd find a way to get back in power by putting in some kind of yes man who was pretty.
18:38
And that was another signal for the Democrats and the liberal Hollywood establishment to just keep going.
18:45
It was like the public approved of their political statements.
18:48
They had to make them every day.
18:50
Uh every time they had an award ceremony, every time they were on the red carpet for something else.
18:55
They had to be political, but that politics had to be on the left.
18:59
Every once in a while you'd find an outlier like Tim Allen or Gary Sinise.
19:03
But they were slowly blacklisted.
19:05
They were slowly pushed aside.
19:07
The Kevin Sorbos of the world, the Sam Sorbos of the world.
19:11
In 2016, it just became became more blatant because it was Hillary, the first woman president versus Trump, and Trump was the enemy in any capacity, and these tiny brain celebrities would either fall for the hoax, or anything that came out about Donald Trump for the narrative because hey, it matched with theirs, or B, they had to mount that as an established narrative to stay working.
19:35
Do you really think all these uh people who get these awards and all these people who are who are in these movies from 2010 onward are the most talented actors and actresses in many cases, yes, but in many cases, absolutely not.
19:52
A lot of these people know they have to mount the narrative to stay working.
19:56
You gotta protect your families, if you will, like but Trell Sprewell.
20:00
I uh 400 million contract to feed my kids, but I'll digress.
20:06
Over the last, I suppose ten years, it's been all preach, preach, preach.
20:10
Every once in a while you'll have uh something decent or fun happening, but it's basically you spew the narrative, your creations have to spew the narrative, and you have to follow new DEI policies, or else you're a persona non grata.
20:25
That's right, you're done.
20:27
Your persona non grata.
20:29
Alan Riskin and Joel McCarthy were right back in the 50s, in the 60s.
20:35
Nowadays, it's just we should I'm sure that America should have listened to them, but I do believe Joe McCarthy should have learned how to operate with a camera, a rolling camera when he's asking questions of people.
20:49
His approach was pretty bad, and he should have known he was up against people who were going to try to make him look bad.
20:56
Put it back to today in the Oscars.
20:58
It's just it's about the and again, the Golden Globes are like this.
21:03
Tony's to an extent.
21:05
Every, even the Grammys, it's always some kind of display.
21:09
Uh look at me, I'm a lefty, or in the Grammys uh in the Grammy's performances, you might even see some satanic uh um symbolism, which has been well documented as sort of a dog whistle.
21:24
See, this is why the left blames the right as far as dog whistling, because they constantly, they constantly employ that strategy.
21:32
They're showing you, hey, what we got your back, or you're you if you know, you know.
21:37
That's what the kids say today, don't they?
21:40
That's right.
21:40
They say that and they say things are spank instead of cool, right?
21:43
Like that's really spank.
21:45
Yeah, you see the new game, that game was really spank.
21:48
I guess the kids come with something good every once in a while.
21:51
But the Oscars are now insured to be a bunch of whiny uh just a bunch of whiny liberals mouthing the liberal narrative no matter what, because the rules now, the new rules, I don't say relatively new rules, it's been this been around for a year or so, maybe a little more, where there was like some controversy about too many white people winning the Oscars.
22:15
I suppose quality mattered at the time.
22:18
But now, to ensure that everything has a left wing, a far left wing band, and you don't have to worry about giving any awards to anybody who on merit, but you want to show off and tell the entire world, hey, look, we're a colorful and an inclusive academy at this point.
22:36
Let me read to you the requirements to become nominated for an Oscar.
22:40
You'd think it was great performances.
22:43
You think it was great direction.
22:46
You would think it was imaginative, imaginative writing and production, but no.
22:52
On screen representation, I'm reading this.
22:55
At least one lead actor or significant supporting actor must be from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group.
23:02
And at least 30% of the ensemble cast must come from at least two underrepresented groups.
23:08
Now to them, underrepresented groups obviously means trans, gay, black, whatever minority they can come up with for the day.
23:16
And the funny thing is that's leading to an over-representation in these movies of black actors, of uh gay actors.
23:25
You're talking about 13% of the population of the country.
23:28
Certainly not 13% of the people in these movies.
23:34
Uh, what was it?
23:35
Gays, a very small under one percent of the of the uh of the nation.
23:40
Oh crap load of a percentage of those who are in these ensembles.
23:45
That's an overrepresentation.
23:47
See, I don't mind representation.
23:49
I I actually like to see groups or people who are uh of unusual persuasion, if you will, uh highlighted.
23:58
But because the story means something about it.
24:02
Or because I want to see somebody who is talented that I might not have seen somewhere else, but not just because there's a some kind of list there or some kind of uh uh DEI qualification, because that leads to the uh uh dilution of talent.
24:17
That leads to just throwing people in there to meet uh uh to check boxes, and you have lower quality programming.
24:24
The box checkers went out now when they weren't winning during the hashtag Oscars so white era that the uh that the fake ex bots were trying to pull.
24:34
That's another thing.
24:35
This is all based on the the Twitter, not X, it was the Twitter days, where there were bots trying to support all the the left narrative, and there were there were legit there were not legitimate, I'm gonna say illegitimate, but they there were real people manipulating the uh the plant the platform or speakers or or uh Twitter members on the left, kind of giving them more of a of a presence to grant the illusion to people who are newer or people who are just kind of uh outside looking in that these are the more popular points of view.
25:12
That's where you get all this.
25:14
That's where people think they agree with it.
25:17
So we're we're getting to a point where this is overrepresentation, and technically that would that would render that particular uh uh requirement moot.
25:26
Creative leadership.
25:27
At least two creative leadership positions, casting directors, cinematographer, composer, must be filled by individuals from underrepresented groups, with at least one in an underrepresented racial or ethnic group.
25:40
Because Hollywood's filled with gays.
25:42
You can say, hey, I got a bunch of homos in here.
25:45
That's eventually fulfill everything.
25:49
I get it, I'll throw a trans into.
25:51
Some of those guys are talented.
25:53
Hey.
25:55
I'm a to each his own person.
25:57
I don't think RuPaul's a true Paul's a cross dresser, right?
26:00
Yeah, he's not a trans.
26:02
But there are talented people who are trans and stuff.
26:06
I'm not a big fan of the idea.
26:09
But the fact is, merit.
26:11
That's what matters.
26:12
Industry access.
26:13
The film is provide paid apprenticeship and internship opportunities for individuals from underrepresented groups in various departments.
26:20
And audience development.
26:21
The film must have representation and marketing publicity and distribution that includes women and minorities.
26:27
Bottom line is you cannot be nominated for an academy award if you run your business, your art solely on merit.
26:37
And I'm happy to hear what Steven Spielberg said about that.
26:41
He said it makes him vomit that a bunch of suits in the industry are dictating morals, or dictating or telling writers and directors and producers that they have to adhere to a uh uh manufactured moral narrative standard to create.
27:02
One should not tell an artist what to do and who to put in.
27:06
Do you think anybody said to Spike Lee?
27:09
Hey, you gotta put a bunch of white guys in your film.
27:12
The fact is, that would be stupid.
27:14
Spike Lee, when he when he put movies together, a lot of them centered around black neighborhoods.
27:22
Don't be unrealistic.
27:24
And he actually brought to light some great actors.
27:27
People who may not have had a chance earlier, that do now.
27:34
But that wasn't because there was uh a narrative, a directive from the academy for him to do so.
27:41
The guy just wanted to do that.
27:43
He directed films, he put together films, and he said, These are the actors I want, they're the actors that earn their way in.
27:50
The fact is the academy, the liberals in the in the academy want to pat themselves on the back over three things.
27:56
Trump hate a long-standing leftist policy and dog whistling to the rest of them and feeling good about themselves.
28:05
They don't.
28:06
And every liberal friend who says they care about Minoris or other races or or or how gays are treated.
28:12
No, they do not.
28:14
They do not care.
28:16
They care about thinking they care about all of that stuff, and making sure you think, and other people think they care about all of that.
28:24
It's all about them.
28:27
These are the people who who are they're classic only children, even if they have several brothers or sisters.
28:33
They're the attention seekers.
28:35
They're the ones who want to show you how how better than you they are by talking.
28:41
And they don't want to really sacrifice anything.
28:43
They don't want to go out and pick up a ladle and go to the uh the uh food, the uh food kitchen, soup kitchen.
28:50
They're not really volunteering for anything.
28:52
I respect the liberal who goes out and takes the town to volunteer.
28:55
I don't agree with that person, but if that person goes out and puts him his or her money where their mouth is, I I have to sit back and say, well, this is a free country, free speech.
29:08
We disagree, but to each their own.
29:10
This is why you don't really hear me criticize Rosie O'Donnell all that much.
29:14
Because she did come, she she did donate one million dollars to families of those of uh September 11th uh attack victims.
29:23
And she berated her Hollywood colleagues for just talking about it and not doing anything about it.
29:30
So for all of Rosie O'Donnell's faults, she at least puts her money where her mouth is.
29:34
She at least puts puts it out there.
29:36
I don't have to agree with her, I don't have to be a big fan, but we as a uh on the right, the center right, wherever you want to label yourself and put yourself.
29:45
Or you or if you're like me who doesn't like labels or really doesn't have one or a political home, you still have to give credit where credit is due.
29:53
And you still have to discredit where discredit is due, and the academy deserves that discredit.
29:58
It's irrelevant.
30:00
It's a laughing stock at this point.
30:02
And they have already, they've decided to put political correctness and DEI over quality.
30:09
And they don't even realize that they're not washed as much.
30:12
They don't realize that these that the celebrities are as irrelevant as they are.
30:16
It's a lesson they should have known back during the COVID era.
30:19
The whole, you remember the celebrities who, oh, wear your mask, or stand six feet away, or we're in this together.
30:28
That was the worst of them.
30:29
They always said we're in this together while they're doing these PSAs from their luxury homes.
30:35
You remember Ellen DeGeneres thinks she felt like a prisoner in her $18 million home.
30:41
Yeah, say try to say that to your fans who are living in uh 500 or 400 foot uh square foot apartment in a city where they're told they can't go anywhere, and the ventilation is horrid.
30:53
Celebrities should have learned a long time ago they were irrelevant, but apparently watching the Academy Awards, watching the Golden Globes and the Grammys, they still think that they're big time political influencers.
31:06
I'm here to say most of us are either ignoring you or laughing at you.
31:11
But the Academy itself long gone are the day long gone are the days of achievement, long gone are the days of the masterpiece.
31:21
It's just about who's in your movie and whether they check boxes or not.
31:25
And that, my friends, dumbs down absolutely everything.
31:28
It's bad enough the industry's been dumbed down over the years.
31:31
It's bad enough the country and education, everything else have been bumped dumbed down over the years.
31:34
But what used to be a ritual for many Americans who didn't really have a Super Bowl, they didn't like sports or anything like that.
31:40
They had a night where they can throw a party, they can find out who was the best at what.
31:45
In the entertainment industry.
31:47
You don't have that anymore.
31:50
And the academy destroyed it.
31:52
It's beyond repair.
31:55
What's not beyond repair is our brains.
31:58

I know President Trump has assured all of us that the situation in Iran will be handled rather quickly.
37:30
Relatively quickly, if you will.
37:33
I'm not exactly uh a proponent of that.
37:37
I'm one of the people who elected Donald Trump for several reasons, one of which was to keep out of wars or not build up new wars.
37:46
Having said that, I'm also not naive as to the need to protect this nation's national security.
37:54
And the nation's national security doesn't only depend on what's going on in the Middle East and who has uh what oil and what Israel's doing down there.
38:04
But it does have to do with, yes, it does have a bit to do with the oil.
38:08
I'm not gonna say it doesn't.
38:09
Again, not naive.
38:11
But it does have a lot to do with maritime trade and control of maritime trade.
38:16
Why do you look back at Donald Trump's foreign policy?
38:20
We did talk about this before.
38:21
I'm gonna bring it back again.
38:23
What has he been doing since he was brought in?
38:25
Yes, I know people wanted him to release the Epstein files.
38:28
Well, you heard me about that.
38:29
I know there were going to be the worst of the worst is gonna be the October surprise.
38:34
So hold on to your nose there.
38:36
There are more pressing matters at hand.
38:38
And I'm not, I'm not saying, I'm not saying that Donald Trump shouldn't have done something about this.
38:43
But I don't want him blowing it off.
38:45
And again, I'm pretty sure my prediction will come true.
38:48
And yes, my chain of events that I predicted as well will happen.
38:52
But again, another story for another day.
38:54
Or maybe if you want to check the past shows.
38:57
First off, let's go to the uh less violent part of the policy.
39:02
That would be Greenland.
39:04
Donald Trump put the liberals in a tizzy by saying, we're gonna take over Greenland.
39:09
Yeah, we're gonna get them, we're gonna make them we're gonna buy Greenland.
39:12
Get the get that.
39:12
Yeah, Greenland's gonna be ours.
39:15
And Denmark was up on ours.
39:16
Well, Greenland's ours.
39:19
You can't let you can't take Greenland away from us.
39:21
And the Greenland leadership is saying, hold on a second.
39:24
You two can't tell us what to do.
39:26
And the people of Greenland are saying, well, you know what?
39:29
We'd like to have a little more prosperity here.
39:32
And yes, Denmark and the U.S.
39:34
can't tell us what to do.
39:35
What comes out?
39:37
Well, the U.S.
39:39
has the advantage when it comes to resources and trade there.
39:42
And trade through that route.
39:44
That's the important thing.
39:45
It was never about taking over Greenland.
39:48
It's expensive to run an empire.
39:51
You think little Denmark could have uh kept Greenland for so long on its own?
39:54
No.
39:56
You think that the British Empire was going to.
40:00
Last into this century.
40:02
No, that's why it broke off mostly last century.
40:05
This stuff gets expensive.
40:08
But if you build up a rapport, if you bring in, uh, you bring the bacon to them, if you will, proverbially, because people will have jobs in Greenland.
40:17
There will be an industry.
40:19
The people probably will be a lot richer there, if you will.
40:23
And the U.S.
40:24
will have a terrific trade route, making our lives a lot better, our standard of living keep pretty high, and keep it to the to the level we would like to have.
40:35
Maybe make it better for the younger generations.
40:38
We can't have Russia control the uh the the uh trade route around Greenland and nearby.
40:45
Because if they if we don't control it, they will.
40:48
They'll be there.
40:49
We aren't stupid.
40:50
Donald Trump is not a naive man.
40:52
He knows business.
40:53
He knows our national security and our the U.S.'s status as a world power depends on control of maritime trade and depends on control of trade around the world in other ways too.
41:06
But maritime trade's a big one.
41:08
Yes, you can't just throw drones and drive and drive them over the oceans these days.
41:12
You still have to employ ships.
41:14
You still have to control deep water ports.
41:17
China has been working on this under our noses during the Obama and Biden administrations.
41:24
Donald Trump has took the bull by the nose, or the liberal by the nose ring, if you will, and can started slowly regaining control in several ways.
41:35
China has uh has a strong influence in Africa and is trying to expand that influence in South America.
41:44
They did a great job of doing so again under Biden and under Obama, under globalist rule, if you will.
41:52
Not just because the Democrats, it's because they're globalists.
41:54
Globalists, globalists always think they have to kneecap the most powerful countries and bring them down to the level of economically weaker nations.
42:05
So pulling Greenland out of the way, China and its inroads into Africa and South America is dangerous to us.
42:13
It's basically interfering with our sphere of influence.
42:17
The Donro Dunction, the media doctrine, the media calls it, but it's really a an extension or pretty much the uh modern use of the Monroe Doctrine.
42:29
We have to make sure that these uh nations don't fall to enemy influences.
42:34
I'm gonna say it, they're adversarial nations, they're enemies.
42:38
China is not just a uh potential physical force, even though they know that they will likely not win a direct all-out war against us or Russia.
42:49
They also know that this is a three-pronged, where we're evolving into a three-pronged power system.
42:55
Russia, China, and the U.S.
42:58
The problem is Russia and China have are teaming up to supplant the dollar.
43:04
The war in Iran is just one component.
43:08
In Venezuela.
43:10
The reason why Maduro was out, besides the fact that he's a filthy communist and oppresses his people, is because he uses Venezuelan oil as a means to offer China more power in his country, and of course, an easier trade route, an easier, uh, an easier influence to the nations around, or at least the left-wing government nations around him, uh, Brazil anybody.
43:34
And China really wanted that uh copia port e.
43:38
They really wanted that badly.
43:41
Thank goodness that the uh, and I'll explain Copia Porti again.
43:45
I just I discussed this on a past show.
43:47
The idea is there was a deep water port in Chile that was yet undeveloped.
43:52
There's a there was a group of varied interests that had that owned the land that had an interest in the land, and they were trying to sell it somewhere.
44:00
They're the good people within that partnership tried to get the Trump administration to buy this land, this deep water port.
44:11
And I'm saying that deep water port's important because you can put cargo ships that are the largest cargo ships that are made right now, you can actually run them in there.
44:21
And that particular port was also had easy access to the highway system in South America and the maritime trade route system in North and South America.
44:35
And of course, all the way to uh eastern Asia, Australia, New Zealand as well.
44:40
If China went up controlling that port, and right now uh U.S.
44:44
friendly interests are controlling that port, which is a good thing.
44:46
But if China went up controlling that port, buying that port, the Chinese Communist Party, they with their influence at the Panama Canal, which is something we need to take back because of that.
44:58
Again, that's something Donald Trump was approaching as well.
45:01
We cannot allow China to have a stranglehold on maritime trade in our sphere of influence and our hemisphere.
45:07
It just can't happen.
45:09
Because that will threaten our economic security, it'll threaten our national security, and it would prompt China up to an exponential level of world power.
45:19
Undeserved, by the way, because most of its economic power comes through currency manipulation and through cheap slave, cheap or slave labor.
45:30
Maduro and Cuba working with China helps give these people this communist party, the Chinese communist party access to other South American nations when it comes to trade when it comes to influence and the all-important resources.
45:47
And when I say resources, I'm talking about the regular run-of-the-mill resources that we could use, that the world can use, and the rare earth resources, which the BRICS countries control of, I believe the majority of the world's uh rare earth resources, and keep in mind they were on track.
46:04
If depending on who they let into the allowance, they they were on track some time back to control 70% 72% of the world's currently available rare earths, rare earth minerals.
46:17
We need those to build ships.
46:18
We need those for those uh uh electric cars that the liberals seem to like so much, the batteries.
46:25
We need them for all sorts of things.
46:27
And Chinese control could heavily hurt this economy, our economy.
46:34
Let's also take it to Iran.
46:36
Iran not only is uh giving was giving China sweetheart deals when it comes to oil and influence.
46:44
The fact is they were sponsoring terrorists to make it miserable to go through the State of Hormuz for certain countries.
46:52
That would be the Europeans and the Americans.
46:55
Probably the Canadians, but I think they'd want the syrup, but that's another story for another day.
46:59
They tried they tried to close off the uh the Strait of Hormuz.
47:03
They they hired the Houthis to make it miserable to make it difficult to uh to uh sail to boat through and use the Suez Canal that straight to get to for easier trade route.
47:18
Yeah, you can go around these days, but it would take a lot more time and a lot more resources.
47:24
That's the same argument with the Panama Canal.
47:28
You can go around South America.
47:31
No, no, you can't.
47:32
You can, but you'd lose out to competitors, and let's just say China who would be controlling both of those areas.
47:39
I'm not joking.
47:41
China and Iran are buddy buddy, China controls the Strait of Hormuz.
47:46
It just lets Iran do the dirty work for them.
47:48
And Iran, the only Shiate nation in the Middle East at this point, or the Shiate run powerful nation in the Middle East, and I'm saying powerful in a relative term.
47:58
They do have weaponry and they do have people who will fight to the death because they think they're they're gonna get 72 versions.
48:05
Why are they going to play mag in their afterlife?
48:07
What are they gonna do?
48:07
Play Magic the Gathering every day in their afterlife with the other versions.
48:12
I'll digress.
48:14
So you think this is just for Israel?
48:16
First off, Israel's working for the U.S., that's number one.
48:20
And Iran is a threat, a serious threat on the local level, the Middle East to Israel, our major ally, and all those Arab nations who signed the Abraham Accords.
48:33
Shiates the Shiate leadership in Iran is a theocracy that'll stop at nothing to spread its version of Islam.
48:43
And they were they're not beyond attacking their Muslim brothers, because they're not really Muslim brothers to them, since it's a different sect of Islam.
48:52
So, yes, on the most visible surface level of what's going on in the Middle East.
48:58
It is true.
48:59
Iran is a direct threat to a lot of these nations in the Middle East.
49:02
And they they are a threat technically to our national security because there are terror cells all over the place in Europe.
49:10
I'm pretty sure Canada, although they probably don't want to freeze their rear ends off over there, and definitely the U.S.
49:16
I heard Michael Letz on an interview recently, a couple of interviews where he said that uh he said there are over a thousand terrorist cells, or around a thousand terror cells in America right now, that they know of at the that the uh intelligence types know of.
49:33
So that doesn't mean there's only a thousand.
49:36
While the Obama and Biden administration were warning you how nasty and mean the the militias are.
49:43
They were allowing terror cells to grow.
49:46
They were allowing enclaves of uh of scammers like the uh like those in the Somali community, the daycare scammers, if you will, and other scammers to grow and join the Democrat multi voting blocks.
50:00
If you will.
50:02
Bring in the criminals.
50:04
They love, they'll thrive under Democrat rule.
50:07
So you look at Greenland, Russia's behind, or at least our national security versus Russia is behind that.
50:14
You look at the Panama Canal.
50:16
You look at South America.
50:18
You look at Venezuela inside South America.
50:20
You look at the Strait of Hormuz and China's alliance with Iran.
50:24
It is China all around.
50:26
They're launching a serious economic war against the U.S., which beyond Iran and peeled down and peeling off those layers.
50:35
And yes, I know people are going, you're doing it for Israel.
50:39
Well, Israel's part of the whole scenario there.
50:42
Because there are watchdogs in the Middle East, pretty much.
50:45
There are allies, and they're the Europeans' eyes and ears as well.
50:50
So if Israel's there to stay, and we don't work for them, they work for us.
50:57
China is, because it's probably losing on some of these influence fronts now, still working to destroy the U.S.
51:04
in other ways.
51:05
One of them is to supplant the dollar.
51:07
So quietly, China, Russia, Brazil, that far left dictatorship wing, if you will, is trying to destroy the U.S.
51:17
economically and supplant the dollar through a bricks currency and a bricks system of trading.
51:23
And it's not like they haven't started, and it's not like they're not going to, they may not be successful.
51:27
Remember, I told you that BRICS is on the way to potentially controlling 72% of the world's available rare earth resources.
51:37
Again, the U.S.
51:38
can fix that with their increasing influence in Africa and uh and South America.
51:44
But take it another step further.
51:46
They're trying to supplant the dollar.
51:47
They have their own bricks pay system.
51:49
They're trying to uh uh they're trying they're defying the petrol dollar at this point.
51:54
What they know is if they can't beat Donald Trump, they can they can take advantage of the damage that the Biden administration and the Obama administration did to the dollar and the damage that the U.S.
52:09
itself did to the dollar back in 1971 when converting our currency from a gold standard to a fiat standard.
52:22
The Federal Reserve, all money became political, and therefore you can print, print, print all you want and devalue the dollar without understanding the consequences.
52:31
The globalists knew the consequences already.
52:34
The depopulationists knew the consequences already.
52:38
But a lot of those, the politicians, even smart ones who were cheering it on, thinking we can do a lot more with the economy that way, didn't realize that the dollar would decades later be supplanted by enemy nations.
52:51
Or at least could be supplanted by enemy nations had the dollar not been treated well enough.
52:56
COVID comes, and the left just prints money willy-nilly.
53:01
I'm not forgiving uh uh Obama either.
53:04
He there were three periods of quantitative easing out of the Obama era that were drastic.
53:10
And while it made the Dow look good for a short time, it was artificial and it hurt the dollar overall.
53:19
When the Dow looks good but looks too good to be true, it's really because the dollar is devalued and the handpicked stocks may have been switched around.
53:28
So even the stock market isn't a really good sign of our economy anymore.
53:33
I'd say the best way to look at the economy is go walk down main streets.
53:38
A lot of that's localized, but go to your cities and see what's going on.
53:41
Is there poop all over the streets?
53:43
You have high crime.
53:46
You have uh you have businesses boarded up because they're no they can no longer sustain themselves.
53:53
You have a higher unemployment line.
53:56
You have people uh taking taking groceries that cost them 110 dollars back in uh 2004, back 2000, I'll even say 2019, go 110 then, and then 180 to 200 now.
54:15
And yes, the liberals will point out well, guess what up in the Iran war, blah, blah, blah.
54:20
That's short-lived.
54:22
Speculators get all antsy when it comes to a war in the Middle East.
54:25
Oil will always go up.
54:27
If if it was uh if it was Albania and Iran fighting, oil would go up.
54:34
If you're listening to the radio show, at the time I recorded the Sunday debrief with uh the uh fine gentleman, uh Tony Schaefer and Pete O'Brien, and of course General Blaine Holt, Colonel Pete O'Brien, by the way, and I'm sorry, Navy Captain Pete O'Brien, Colonel Captain of the same rank, technically anyway, different armed forces, and General Blaine Holt, who are talking about the idea that uh uh talking about whether oil how the Trump administration should communicate the high gas prices.
55:01
Fact is the gas prices still aren't as bad as when uh when Joe Biden was president, and that was more because of Biden inflation and his policies deliberately throttling energy production here in the U.S.
55:16
Speculators weren't happy with that.
55:19
And your liberal friends are posting pictures in California, where gas is like eight dollars in some areas per gallon, somewhere around there.
55:28
Well, we've seen gas very high during the Biden administration, but California is a different bird, and New York is New York could be there soon.
55:36
California has insane gas taxes.
55:40
So while Californians are blaming Donald Trump, they don't realize that it's their state.
55:46
It's the it's the state government that has made it a miserable experience to drive all around and made it expensive to drive all around and live and eat and pretty much do anything over there.
56:00
The point I'm trying to make is it's it's leftist policy that has really destroyed most states that have destroyed gas prices that have destroyed this country.
56:11
I'm not saying that everybody on the right is perfect in every way.
56:15
But leftist policy, the people who vote for leftists and bring these people in who are pretty much communists at this point.
56:22
They'll spend, spend, spend, print, print, print, until the economy is totally destroyed, and we fall to the hands of our adversarial nations, who are not sitting by watching.
56:34
They were proactive during the Biden and Obama administrations.
56:38
Trump has only a few years left to take that back, and he's not getting much help from Congress.
56:45
I want to thank you for listening to this edition of Unleashed the Political News Hour.

I'm Chris Gordani.
