Man, just when you thought that this administration couldn't really be any more tone deaf, and, but it's obvious they don't care about optics. Welcome to the show, everybody. I'm gonna dive right into it today. I'm gonna try to keep this, as quick of a show as possible. I know the last episode was a little bit long, and I I hope you guys, took it in, and I hope that it made sense, talking about natural rights because everything is based on natural rights.
Everything, the reason the government exists, the whole point of all of this is to secure our natural rights. So if you didn't catch the last episode, make sure you go back and take a look because then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. But hot off the press, guys, the United States secretary of state, or I should say the state department, October 4th released a press, release or statement saying that the United States will now provide nearly a 157,000,000 in new, and you always gotta pay attention to how they word these things, in new US humanitarian assist assistance to support populations affected by conflict in Lebanon and the region. But don't worry. We're gonna send a $100,000,000 to help rebuild I forty.
I mean, you can't make this stuff up, and the choice is becoming more and more clear, guys, on who is the right pick for America. And I'm gonna get into that in just a few minutes, but I I wanted to start with this because, you know, we did an episode last week about how tone deaf our politicians are. And it is obvious. And I'm beginning to think it's not that they're tone deaf tone deaf because saying they're tone deaf would imply that they mean well, but they're just not listening. They're just not getting it.
I and and I've said it before and I'll keep saying it. I try not to attribute to malice what I can attribute to ignorance, but this is just getting absurd. To say that they don't even care about optics is, I think, hitting the nail on the head. They simply just do not care at all. And it wasn't that they, you know, had this released this press statement on the back pages of the Department of State's website.
They posted it out on socials that they in the midst this was October 4th when this, press statement was released. October 4th, if you don't believe me, you can go to the state department's website. It's there, on their press releases page. On October 4th, they came out and said, I know we've got a big national crisis here. Don't worry.
We're sending a $100,000,000 to repair I forty. Although the reports on the ground in North Carolina, Tennessee, and and some of the regions affected the most is that the $750 that, Harris touted that everybody was gonna get, a lot of people were being denied. The $750, the backhanded offer from the government. Most people, according to reports on the ground in in their preliminary, but I somewhat believe them, that a lot of people aren't even getting the $750. They're being denied.
But here we are sending an additional new 157,000,000 in new new US humanitarian assistance in Lebanon in Lebanon. Now let's wrap our minds around this for just one second. And and I before we wrap our minds around this, I just wanna real quick, it's not a plug, but I write about this in my book. My book is gonna come out soon. It's We the Puppets, and it I I kinda dive into what goes on behind the scenes, how the sausage is made.
And once you realize how it's done in DC and why because a lot of you are asking the question, why? Why do we send all this money around the world? And and I'd address the those issues in the book, so keep keep your eyes open and your ears peeled for, when that comes out. I will announce it here first. It's coming out soon.
But if you wanna take a dive into how everything's been manipulated, pick up a copy of the book. But I digress. Let's wrap our minds around why, and we'll get into a little bit as how that sausage is made. But why would we, in the midst of a national crisis in the United States with hurricane damage and and people losing their homes, their lives, I mean, this is probably and I'm not a 100% sure what the death toll is today, and it breaks my heart to even think about it, And it that we have devastation, probably one of the worst national natural disasters in modern modern US history, and it gets people asking why? Why would we, in the midst of this, be, you know, advertising, promoting, bragging about the fact that we're sending an additional 157,000,000 to people in Lebanon.
And it's hard to wrap your mind around it, but we're gonna wrap our mind around it. So why would they send money to Lebanon? Why do they send money to the Middle East at all? Why do they send money to Ukraine? Why do they send money to Israel?
Which that in and of itself is crazy. Right? Like, we've sent how much money to Israel to buy weapons. I I'm almost positive it's it's in the billions already. And then Israel takes the money.
Well, they don't really take the money. So here I'm gonna get into how it works. But so we give money to Israel to help Israel. Right? And then Israel invades Lebanon or kind of invades I mean, there are armies on the ground in Lebanon creating destruction, and then we pay for the cleanup of that destruction.
And on the surface, a lot of you and a lot of you that are asleep at the wheel, and no offense, it's just you've been manipulated and lied to for so many years, you actually believe the bullshit that comes out of the the media. Excuse me. I had to cough there for a second. But you guys, you don't understand what's going on here because on the surface, your argument would be, well, if we paid for the destruction, we should also help clean it up and pay for it. And on the surface, without really following the money, that argument makes logical sense, and that's kinda how the manipulation works.
It's like, you know, I'm gonna manipulate the emotional parts of you that say, well, yeah, if we're paying for destruction in other countries, we should also pay to clean it up. But that's not what is actually happening because when you follow the money, you'll see that it all gets most of it, not all of it, but the vast majority of these foreign funding bills and initiatives where we're sending 100 of 1,000,000 and billions to foreign countries, they never actually go. 70, 80, sometimes 90% of the money never actually goes to those countries, to the refugees or the people being displaced by conflict or whatever. It actually gets funneled back to US companies. It never leaves our shores.
And it goes into companies where our congressional members either own stock in those companies or those companies will donate to the PACs and the Super PACs and the candidates campaigns to make sure they stay right there in Washington DC and keep voting for lofty heavy spending bills. And oftentimes, this money that does get sent overseas still will it'll go to a foreign entity which somehow in some way gets funneled back to, an American entity. And if you guys remember the episode I did a long time ago, almost last year, where I followed the money on some of these spending bills and it ended up back in American companies, like shell companies in Florida on, like, some Ukrainian money. I went to a Ukrainian trucking company, got paid $250,000 for one load. How's that work?
And then that company was actually owned by a shell company in Florida. Like, guys, this is how it works. This is how the it's basically legalized embezzlement or theft. They they send the money overseas because the trail of that money and the receipts gets muddier and muddier and muddier and until it just there is no trail anymore. And that's the point.
They don't want there to be a trail. And so that's how the money actually gets spent. And in this spending program, and if you even just read the press release, right, it it it has all the emotional manipulation tactics built right into the press release. I'll just read some of it for you. This funding will address new and existing needs of internally displaced persons in refugee populations inside Lebanon and the communities that host them.
This assistance will also support those fleeing to neighboring Syria, which they're really saying is we're also pumping money into Syria. Well, what do we got going on in Syria? We kinda got like this weird standoff between us, Russia, China, new government. It so, of course, our three letter agencies have their hands in there, and you think that money is going to humanitarian efforts or to influence the outcomes of geopolitics, or worse and new money laundering campaigns inside of Syria. You just gotta follow the money.
Let let me keep going though. This life saving assistance from the American people includes nearly 82,000,000 immediately available through the Department of States Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, and 75,000,000 through the United States Agency For International Development, Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance. Of this total USAID, 11,000,000's already been deployed, and they're gonna work with congress to make another 63,000,000 available in the coming weeks. Here's some more of your emotional manipulation. To ensure that vital humanitarian assistance can can continue to reach the most vulnerable communities in need.
Because, of course, we're all like again, I brought this up. I've talked we're humans. We're everybody in America are great. You just look at what's going on in North Carolina, Tennessee, North Georgia. Americans will give you the shirt off their back if they think you need it.
So, of course, they're gonna use manipulation tactics in the words to hit you in the most vulnerable places, the place where you don't wanna see people suffer. Never mind the fact that we're have a huge hand in creating the suffering and never mind that these people will continue to suffer because a lot of the money will ever never actually make it to them to stop the suffering. This emergency food, shelter, blankets, hygiene kits, protection, water, and sanitation assistance will be a critical lifeline for those who have endured unimaginable hardships. Do you see it? Do you hear it now that I'm pointing it out?
And you've you're gonna see this everywhere. You'll see it on the news. Just pay attention to the words they use, how they overemphasize the manipulate or the emotional aspects of the statements. You're gonna see it in campaign speeches on the the Harris Waltz campaign. You'll definitely see it in the media.
You'll see it in their post on social media. It's always emotional manipulation. And the minute you pick up on it, you're you're never gonna vote for these people again. You're gonna despise them. And they have thrown guys.
They have they they don't even care about the optics. It is obvious that their money making schemes are more important to them to the than the American people ever will be. But don't worry. We're sending a $100,000,000 to fix I 40, which again, I'm not like giving them shit because they wanna yes. Let's please, let's fix I 40.
But why why is that the thing even down there in the hurricane? Why is it that we're bragging about sending a 100,000,000? This because this is what the Kamala Harris campaign actually posted on x, formerly known as Twitter. We're sending a 100,000,000 to fix I 40. Well, why you know?
And I get it. I 40 is a main artery through the country. A lot of trucks, a lot of trucking go down I forty, both ways east and west. And I get it, but we've got entire towns just dismantled. And you know where that 100,000,000 is gonna go.
It's gonna go to a large construction company where certain congressional members either have stock in those companies or those companies donate to their packs, super packs, and campaigns. It's gonna go to a mega construction company that's on the on the take. But it's not gonna go into these communities to rebuild houses, to give them even temporary housing or lodging. Nope. The priority is to build I forty.
$100,000,000. But the $100,000,000 isn't directly going to the people of those areas. It's gonna go to a mega construction company that will then funnel money back to congressional members. It's how the game is played. Optics are out the window, guys.
They don't care. But get this, in the same press release, they said the United States has already provided nearly 386,000,000 386,000,000, and folks, you in Tennessee, North Carolina, North Georgia with your 700, you're you get 750. Keep in mind that population of North Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, the areas that were really affected heavily by this flooding, the population in those areas combined might just barely be north of 2,000,000 people. But we can send $386,000,000 in the last year. That's what the statement goes on to say.
The United States provided nearly 386,000,000 over the last year, just in the last year, guys, to support vulnerable populations in Lebanon and Syria. Syria is not even on the news, guys. Is anybody aware of that? Like, this is the stuff I'm talking about. Syria Lebanon's been on the news only recently because we've sent money to Israel and and I get Israel's.
I'm not against Israel or whatever. I'm I'm shit. I'm not against Lebanon or Syria or any other country. But we sent 1,000,000 and I'm pretty sure it's over 1,000,000,000 now to Israel to and we've sent them tons of weapons to wreak havoc because that is what war is. And that's just happened recently.
Right? Like, it's only been in the news, guys. Stay with me here and think about what I'm saying because you're gonna see the bullshit. Only recently has Lebanon been been in the news, k, about the ground offensive from Israel and about the rockets going back and forth, you know, small scale not like what Iran just did, but it's just been recently within the last several months that we've heard more and more about Lebanon, right, and then the ground offensive in Lebanon. How many times have you heard about Syria?
But yet for the last year, we've been sending 1,000,000 and 1,000,000 of dollars to both Lebanon and c Syria. 386 so far with another 157 on the way. I'll let you do the math. That's a half a $1,000,000,000 to 2 countries and people in North Carolina and Tennessee and North Georgia are getting $750 a piece. They don't care about the optics anymore, and guys, we have to make a different choice.
I said tone deaf, and I think a lot of politicians are tone deaf, but I think this goes beyond tone deafness. And I think you think it goes beyond tone deafness too. Because at this point, they don't even care about the optics. They publicized this. They publicized this.
Hey. They're proud of this moment. Kamala's proud to put a $100,000,000 into some large and again, I forty does need to be rebuilt, guys. K? We can we can hold two thoughts that somewhat are intention with each other in our brains at the same time.
We're capable because we're not intellectually lazy like the crazy far far left liberal communist, and they're really not communist. They're are crazy. They're just brainwashed. You see it. I see it.
We all see it. And for those of you that take great pains in listening to the words I say and the criticisms that I make, if you feel that, like, oh, this guy's stupid. Blah blah. You're brainwashed. You're a communist because everybody's waking up except for you.
So I encourage you to wake up because this show is for you too. This isn't about partisan politics because in order to get a spending bill approved through Congress, both sides have to agree right now because we're kind of it's like a dead heat. We have a, there's barely a a Republican majority right now in the house, so it takes both of them. And you guys are gonna start to see over time with this show and other people speaking out that the 2 party system I talk about on the book is really guys a unit party. It's 2 different sides of the same coin And the sooner you wake up and realize that, the sooner you're gonna see the manipulation, the sooner you're gonna see that they've been brainwashing you.
And it's time to make a change. And, you know, so I bring all this up and talk about all the money we've been sending sending to Lebanon and Syria, all to say we need change. We need change now more than ever. And so and I I know it's gonna come to no surprise to many of you, but, you know, I am officially and and I know my show doesn't get as of right now, hopefully, you guys keep sharing it, and it'll grow. It doesn't get like 10, 15, 100,000 downloads a month.
But that's okay. I'm still gonna officially publicly endorse Donald Trump for president. Because at this point in the game, it is clear that there is a uni party in DC and that they're really 2 different sides of the same coin, and they are so petrified and it is so obvious that Trump might get into office. And trust me when I say, when you understand the manipulation that this government has been doing for decades, you'll see why they are working feverishly to ensure Donald Trump never gets elected again. And it's not because he's gonna be a dictator.
It's not because he have his mean tweets. It's not because foreign adversaries and foreign leaders actually have no respect for him. It's because they do respect him and they fear him because he's a no bullshit kind of guy. It's because he has the ability to rip the lid off of everything and publicly disclose all the shenanigans and all the bullshit. And when you see the manipulation for what it is and how most congressional members in the last several decades, I mean, probably 40, 50, 60 years 60, 70 years, guys, this has been going on.
And when you see it for what it is and when you see all these career long bureaucrats that wanna also keep the status quo by the way, all stuff I talk about in the book. So if you wanna take a deep dive into this, and it's it's actually not super deep. It's a quick read. I did it on I wrote it that way on purpose. Then pick it up because I literally get into all of this.
But when you see it for what it is, the manipulation using, you know, our funds, our taxpayer dollars for their benefit, It all starts to make sense why all of them are working tirelessly to try to keep Trump out of the White House because Trump, his he'll be wealthy whether he becomes president again or not. That's the difference between Trump and these people. Trump has nothing to lose except for maybe his freedom lately, but he has nothing to lose. Trump's wealth is built on real estate. These people's wealth is built on the government.
Us. Your money, my money. So if he blows the lid off of everything, they have everything to lose because they will more than likely go to prison for the crimes against the American people that they have been routinely committing and hoping we never wake up and find out. There has been a status quo in this country of robbing us blind, confiscating the American people's wealth for their benefit. It is clear as day.
Just look at the taxation, look at the inflation, and you will see how they are confiscating our money. Follow the money when they pass 100 of 1,000,000 and 1,000,000,000,000 of dollars of spending and 1,000,000,000,000 of dollars of spending, and just actually take the time to go follow the money, you'll see how the game is played. They've stolen the wealth of the American people, and they've they've consolidated it into the hands of the few. Them. These people's wealth is built on the government.
Trump's was built outside of the government. He he will be wealthy regardless, but if these people didn't have their congressional positions, they wouldn't be wealthy because they are the type of people that are okay taking advantage of the American people to build their own wealth. That's why we need better candidates at all levels, but that's an episode for another day. But I wanna talk about Donald Trump because and stay with me here because I think this is the literally, and I know you hear it. It's probably one of the most consequential elections in modern US history, and in my lifetime for sure and probably many of your lifetimes.
This one is important because if this one, guys, we don't win, I'm not sure we have another free and fair election again. And I'm I'm serious about that. It's scary to think about, but if we don't win this one, guys, it could be over. So I'm gonna give my case for Trump, and I I just want you to stick with me. And if if you are somebody who's been a never Trumper, hated Trump, I I wanna start by saying something to you.
And I've heard a lot of people say that they just can't stand Donald Trump. Can't stand his personality, can't stand his ego, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. But I want you to think about this for a second. I want you to think about what the president of the United States really needs to do in order to make this country great. And I want you to ask yourself the personality type that you want doing one of the most critical jobs there are there is in the free world, and it, I would argue, is the president of the United States, one of the most critical positions in the free world.
And I wanna analogize it like this because I saw a video about it a week or so ago and I was like, man, that is so good. And it was a a liberal lady who it was a never Trumper, hated Trump, you know, watched MSNBC every day and CNN and all these propaganda machines, propaganda rags, I guess, is what we need to call them. But she said, a friend of the family came over and sat down. They were talking politics, and he said, you know, I look at Trump like this. I I really can't stand Trump's personality.
But there was a time not that long ago where I had to have a critical surgery, and it was like a life or death thing. It was a very risky surgery, and, if it went well, I could live many more years. If it didn't, I may not, or I could die on the operating table. Critical life threatening surgery. Right?
And he said when he was picking out the surgeon that he wanted, the one that got had the best outcome, the best record, and was the best was an egotistical asshole. Like, he couldn't stand the guy's personality, but the guy was so arrogant and so like, I'm I'm the best at this. I am the best in the country. You have nothing like just an arrogant kind of and the guy was like, man, his like his personality was really super off putting, but he's the surgeon that I chose. And this lady was like, what?
Why why would why would you choose him? And he said because his ego was so big, it would not allow him to not do the best job possible. His ego was so important to the surgeon that doing a botched surgery or a bad job would destroy his credibility. Destroying his credibility destroy destroyed his lofty ego of how awesome and amazing he was at this profession in surgery and just how awesome of a person he was because he could he could do this critical job better than anybody else. And the doctor or the the the guy said, you know, the doctor I need is the one that is going to make sure I get off that operating table and live a long life.
And I want the guy whose ego is inflated because it will ensure he does a good job, and I will live. And I would argue that that's like most of you guys with Donald Trump. I know you don't like him. I know his his personality can be tough to absorb, but in this critical moment in American history, he is the right person for the job. And whether you like him or not, just like that surgeon, whether people liked him or not, he was gonna save their life.
And whether you like Trump or not, it doesn't matter to him. He is going to be your president too. He is going to fight for you and make your life better. And I think at this critical moment in American history, let's take the guy with the ego and the personality that's a little abrasive and a little just yeah. You're not like that.
I'm not like that. But in the for the most critical job, that's the guy I want in the chair because he ain't gonna take shit off nobody, And he's got our best interest in mind. He's gonna make sure we get off that operating table. So that is the the analogy I would offer up to my liberal friends. And you don't have to talk about it.
You you just when you go in that voting booth, think about who is gonna do the best job for you and your family. You can immediately leave that booth and say you voted for Harris. That way you don't lose your friend circles because you guys also know that on your side of the fence, that far left side, your friends will judge you and not wanna be friends with you if you're not part of the tribe. But it's okay. Just pull the lever and just really think to yourself, in this critical moment in American history, who do you think is gonna fight the fight for you and your family?
Who will not sell you out for a buck? And I know the media is telling you it's Trump, it's Trump, it's Trump. Guys, Trump lost money to be president. Like, think about that. These people will sell their souls in congress to make money.
They'll sell out their constituents and every other American to make money. And it's funny how most of them come in with a net worth of, like, less than a half a $1,000,000, but they leave worth 40, $70,000,000. How's that happen on a salary of $180,000 a year? Year? 12 years later, they're worth $40,000,000.
Okay. Explain that one. They can't. They can't. And that's my argument for my liberal friends out there on the left that's actually still think the Democratic Party is the party of the people.
Like, wake up, turn off your TVs, start digging through, all their policies, follow the money, listen to a different news source, read some different stuff. Like, shut it down guys because it's all a propaganda machine. Stop looking at their words and start looking at their actions. Their actions right now is they're sending another $150,000,000 to Lebanon when they've already sent 358,000,000 but they're bragging because they're sending a 100,000,000 to Tennessee to build rebuild I40. Think about it the guys.
Don't stop listening to the manipulation words and tactics and start looking at what they actually do. I know when Trump was in office what he actually did. We had the lowest inflation in years. We had the lowest unemployment rate for all Americans. All Americans of all categories.
We had an increase in real wages which guys that is the first time in decades that we had an increase in real wages and you don't understand how important that is because the flip side of real wage growth is inflation, which is confiscation of your money. And under Trump, we had an increase in real wages. You know, he funded historically back black colleges and universities permanently. They always had to come back hat in hand every so many years to get more money from the government to help fund their schools. He funded them permanently.
He reformed the criminal justice system and got a lot of people that were not only innocent, but that got heavy handed sentences out of prison that would have never seen the light of day, that were unjustly prisoned. And if you go back to my natural rights episode, you'll and we'll talk about it again in the future, but you can just go back one episode and find out why that's so important. There were no wars, no new wars, and he was putting together a plan to exit Afghanistan. Like a good plan where we're not leaving Americans behind, where soldiers and soldiers and marines aren't being killed on a crazy withdrawal. He was putting together a plan to have an organized withdrawal from Afghanistan shutting it down, not leaving Americans behind, not leaving billions of equipment and weapons behind.
It's what he actually did. He opened up talks with countries that would rather see us be destroyed than to see us prosper like China, Russia, North Korea. And you guys give him shit and say, oh, he just wants to be a dictator. He idolizes it. No.
You're morons. Think about it. Is it better to have an open line of communication to these dictators around the world and make sure that because these are the ones that we could start World War 3 over. And what's better to have open lines of communication with them or take their shit? And when they realize we're so weak because we'll just get pushed over by them like the current administration that they'll start the wars that they wanna start.
Henceforth, Russia going into Ukraine. Never happened under Trump. Trump got peace between Israel and Palestine and the Middle East. That all happened in many many more many many more things. You guys were focused on what he was saying and his mean tweets and the abrasive way he handled the media which is not a free press anymore, guys.
It's a propaganda machine. And when you start seeing the way they frame subjects, the words they use to manipulate, you'll get it. And you'll be like, holy shit. They are. They're nothing but propaganda.
Yes. They're not telling you the news. They're telling you what you should think by emotional manipulation, and it works really, really well, guys. There are so many millions of Americans that are still utterly and totally brainwashed by the constant messaging. There are no facts or evidence to back up anything the media says.
You'll start figuring that out too. And 9 times out of 10, whatever they're saying, the opposite is true, and you'll start to figure that out too. And I'm not I'm not telling you what to think. I'm I'm just telling you how, like, to think for yourself, to go do your due diligence. The information is out there.
Yes. Platforms like Google are making it increasingly harder for you to find that stuff because they're part of the propaganda machine, but it's still out there. And you can still follow the money. You can see where every dollar of congress goes and gets spent and whose hands it ends up in through these contract awards. You gotta dig and you gotta understand how to pull that stuff.
Maybe we should do an episode on that or I'll do a video how to actually go down the rabbit hole and chase the money. But it's all out there. It's in plain sight. And once you figure out how bad it is, you're gonna be like, holy shit. They've been lying to us the whole time.
And the only person that's not a part of this facade and this illusion is Trump. He's the outsider. He's not the career long politician that got wealthy in congress or in the government. He got independently wealthy outside of government. I you can't say the same thing for all these talking heads that go on TV like the Mike Pences of the world.
Think about this. It's so blatantly obvious anymore. They used to try to hide it, but it's they they just don't care because you're so brainwashed. They don't even have to pretend to try anymore to hide it. Donald Trump is the only outsider.
That is why the attacks are so vicious. Whether you like Donald Trump or not, his entry into the political arena brought to light all of these issues that have been hidden behind the facade of our political system. Like, it like, him getting into office, guys, was the proverbial peak behind the curtain. It exposed everything. The inner workings of how the system in DC actually works.
The system that we've all suspected existed. This good old boy, how the sausage is made, money goes out, but really it just comes back in system. We've all suspected it. We all knew it was like the elites just stacking the deck against us, American, getting rich off of our backs, but we'd never seen it so clearly until Trump. Like, his entrance guys into politics, it it was like a lightning bolt.
A lightning bolt into the heart of the establishment in DC. I mean, remember back from the moment he announced, guys, that he was running in 2015, it was clear that it was not gonna be a typical political campaign cycle and that Trump was clearly not your typical candidate. I mean, the brashness, his unfiltered, his unapologetic populist feelings, like, he he's a populist. He believes in the American people and wants the American people to be prosperous because he's smart. He understands that if the vast majority of Americans are prosperous and you can be an entrepreneur in in in a a society of prosperous people, you're gonna get even more wealthy because rising tides raise all boats, and he gets that.
But it was a shock. It was a shock to the system. And without him, it it probably wouldn't have made things so clear. But he was different. The whole thing was gonna be different, and he was a breath of fresh air, guys, from the the scripted candidates of the 2 parties the 2 party system that we are always handed, like, here and that's kind of what happens.
You know, the 2 parties have just scripted it out, you know, we're gonna have 2 lifelong politicians who've got experience and understand foreign policy. These are the best choices for you, and then you would go to the primaries and we'd vote down party lines for the one that the media says vote for illusion of choice. So scripted, Trump busted that. But I I think even though that was disruptive, like, the his personality was just so different, but I don't even think that was the most disruptive thing. I think it was his ability to expose the cracks in the system, to actually peel the curtain back and show us the the the mechanisms of control that the media and politicians and the bureaucracies have had on the American people for years.
I think that was the most disruptive thing, and you can tell that was the most disruptive thing by the way the swamp fought back almost immediately. I mean, if for decades. You guys just remember back for decades, this system of, like, the illusion of choice functioned smooth. Like, we didn't really it wasn't as divisive. It wasn't as, you know, hot and heated as it is now.
It was, you know, everything business as usual. The the establishment just maintained its power. You know, the media landscape, the narratives were pretty relatively controlled, and everybody just reinforced the status quo, and we voted for it. And Trump's candidacy, which they all said was a joke from the beginning, and then his subsequent win threatened to upend all of it. And for the first time guys in history or at least modern history in my lifetime and in yours, an outsider actually crashed the fucking party.
And the the whole system shit its pants and was forced to play its hand to actually reveal who they are in an attempt to actually preserve the system. So he crashed the party, they shit down their pants and had to. They had no other choice but to reveal who they really are and what they were really about and in order to preserve this system of manipulation all for literally, for power, prestige, and financial gain. And that's that's why everything has gotten so crazy. I mean, before Trump, the the political system guy is like, and it's our fault.
I mean, it operated with a severe degree of impunity. Like, it just kinda did whatever and then, yeah, you would hear your dads or your grandparents or, you know, the grandpas reading the paper bitching about, oh, damn taxation and damn government, and they're spending our money. But we never did shit about it. They operated with impunity. The the the the 2 party system is bullshit.
It offered an illusion of choice and we just fell for it. Like, they would throw out their candidates, the media comes in frames the narrative through manipulation tactics etcetera etcetera and kept us in line. Enough, I mean we would bitch but we were in line But when Trump came in guys, he upended all those carefully choreographed and well managed processes and narratives that just kept us in check for years. That's why it seems so I mean, I know I know you guys remember feeling this. That's why it seems so, like, different and kinda crazy and, like, what what the man, he he's kinda mean.
He's kind of an asshole. Like, wow. He has no decorum. And the media is like, what the fuck's going on right now? We're losing control of this narrative.
He's saying shit nobody has ever said before. He was saying the shit all the all of our dads and grandparents and grandpas and us and grandmas and that we they were saying around the breakfast table reading the paper. And here's a guy actually saying the same shit we all say and bitch about out loud. Not some canned platitude, you know, statement for some political slogan. No.
He was just like, f you guys. Just upended the whole thing. He spoke directly to the voters in a way that nobody has spoken to us before. And it bypassed the gatekeepers, the media, and they fucking hated that because they're a part of this control. And he just said, I I'm gonna speak directly to the American people about issues the American people actually care about in a way that the American people speak about it.
And they lost their minds, man. The establishment, the swamp, whatever we wanna call it, lost their effing minds over it. You guys saw it. We've all seen it, like anything everything I'm saying, you guys saw, like, we've experienced it. I mean, he started calling out the corruption, the influence of money in politics, and the obvious now collusion between the media and the political elite.
And it resonated with all of us. And we were like, dude, this is yeah. Trump's kind of a buffoon and kind of like a bit of an asshole, and and maybe he likes to be in the limelight a little bit too much, but, man, he is he is not taking shit off nobody. This is awesome. He's saying the things we've been wanting to say, but you know what?
And shame on us for, you know, putting it on Trump's shoulders to to do all. We should have been doing this shit a long time ago. We should have been speaking up and saying, screw your decorum, man. You're a horrible politician. You fucking suck.
Get out of here. But we weren't because, you know, we were too busy watching NFL or whatever, which I I'm not hating on that, but, like, we we gotta pay attention more because we damn near we damn near lost this country to the elites. But his willingness, guys, to break the unwritten rules of politics, like, it it it they had it forced the assessment to play their hand. They had no other choice but to reveal who they really are. The media which had a long maintained veneer of objectivity let's, you know, let's fucking be real.
But they did for a long time. For years, they maintained that they had objectivity. But the media openly took sides. That was them playing their hand. Portraying Trump as a existential threat to democracy.
Played their hand. Blatantly took sides. I mean, but they're journalists. Right? Of course, they don't take sides.
It's bullshit. The political class including members of his own party and they're still doing it to this day and it's because trust me, it's now it's more so because Trump knows where the bodies are buried, and that's a euphemism. I'm not saying it. Well, actually, it's like people were murdered. Man, maybe.
I don't know, but that's not what I'm saying. It's a euphemism. Trump knows where the bodies are buried, man. He knows everything these people did wrong. Even the people that were in his in first administration that are now saying, well, you can't you can't vote for him.
He's a he's a threat. He's a ho ho ho ho. He'll be a dictator. They're full of shit, guys. It's because he has the dirt on them.
They're all career scumbag politicians that have no moral aptitude and no character and have done a lot of bad shit at the expense of the American people and he knows it. And if he gets in to office, they're screwed. That's why a career and and they hope the narrative and the manipulation that you'll pick up on is, oh, this is a lifelong republican who now says Trump will be a dictator. Fucking think about it, guys. That's a lifelong politician is what you need to know in that sentence.
Who Trump has the dirt on now. Course, they're gonna be like, no. Don't don't vote for him. He's crazy. Uh-huh.
Uh-huh. How did you get your wealth again? I mean, you've been a lifelong you just said it. You're a lifelong Republican, a lifelong politician making on average a 100, a 150, 180, $200,000 a year. How are you worth 50, $60,000,000?
You're not that good at investing. Again, he's got the dirt guys. He's got the goods. But the political class including his own party sought to undermine his campaign and then later his presidency at every turn. The deep state, which you guys, you know, the deep state is the the bureaucracies.
Right? So for those of you that don't know, when you hear deep state, that's what is being referenced. It's all the bureaucracies, all the departments, agencies, etcetera. But the the deep state that had previously like not really shown their hand or what they were about became a huge topic because intelligence agencies and the the institutions of the bureaucracies appear to work against Trump in his presidency. That's never happened.
They're supposed to be a 100% objective and apolitical, and for the first time, intelligence agencies and bureaucrats or bureaucratic institutions, I should say, appear to work against him. The person that is elected to regulate them. And guys, this wasn't just about Trump, the person. I mean, a lot of it was, but it was more about what he represented. And what he represented was the will of the American people, which they show day in and day out, they despise.
Hence, hey, we're gonna send another $150,000,000 to fucking Lebanon of all places. But don't worry, we're gonna spend a $100,000,000 to fix I forty guys and enjoy your $750. It's insane. It exposed the reality that the political and media establishments were also just bullshit, not neutral arbiters of democracy, which is a word they love to throw around. But they were active participants, guys, in maintaining a system that served their interest.
Theirs, not ours. And in attempting to destroy Trump, which they have they started when he got elected and they haven't stopped since, the establishment actually revealed the lengths that they're willing to go to preserve their power. And in doing so, the guys, all they're doing is confirming all the suspicions that we have had for years that have always been dismissed as fringe or conspiracy theory. They're confirming it. Because this is absurd.
It's out of control. They I guess when you pick a fight with the swamp, the swamp's gonna fight back. And that's exactly what Trump did. He picked a fight. And he needs us to have his back so he can fix the shit for us.
It's why I endorse Trump to be president. And I hope you vote for him. And if you guys want like, one of the most visible visible manifestations of the establishment's reaction to Trump, it's been the unprecedented un god. I can't. I'm struggling to talk this morning.
I don't even have a pinch of cougar in, guys, and I can't talk. The if you guys want an example of this, like, a visible manifestation of their reaction to Trump, Bar none, it's been the unprecedented speed and intensity of the news cycle. Like, just how crazy fast the news cycle has become. I mean, think about how long goes. Yeah.
If you're in your thirties or forties, maybe in your twenties, you might not remember and have enough reference. But if you're 30, 40, 50, 60, you remember a time when big stories would stay in the news cycle for weeks, if not months. Right? OJ anybody. Right?
Fuck. That went on for like a whole year. Right? Every night. It was in the OJ trial today.
It's like shit. Who cares? He he killed her. Let's can we move on? And I'm I'm just kidding, guys.
I don't I don't have a dog in that fight. It's just funny. It's not funny that people were murdered. I better just stop talking about it. But I'm not saying he is he was proven innocent.
So by a jury of his peers, that's all I'm gonna say. But my point is the news cycle was much longer. And look at how quick it is now. Why is that? Why why has it turned into this 247 firestorm of cover coverage and, like, speculation and outrage and but it's a new outrage and a new story every day.
The stories that would have dominated headlines for weeks go by within days now. Like, it's just replaced by the next controversy, the next scandal, the next crisis, the next, you know oh, Trump. 38 border charges. It's it's just insane. And consider the assassination Trump or the assassination attempt against Trump.
In any other era, guys, and and it has happened, like, there there's proof of this, you know, we have history for this shit. It's not like we're just making it up in any other era. An attempt on the life of a sitting president or former president in a campaign or a political front runner in a campaign, having an actual and real assassination attempt carried out against them would have been in the freaking news coverage for months. With, like, you know, you you it would have been in-depth analysis, investigations, public debate, like, it would have been a, like, a 3 ring circus extraordinaire show, like like one of those Vegas shows that are just man, it's like we're rolling out all the stops on this coverage, wall to wall. You guys remember that?
What remember that that saying wall to wall coverage. That's what it would have been. But in the current climate, it's just gone within days. It's just this relentless churn of of news. You know, an assassin tries to assassinate Trump.
I I think it was on a Saturday. But by the time Monday rolled around, the narrative had already shifted. Nobody was asking questions. Nobody in the media was asking questions. Like, the press conferences with the FBI and the Secret Service and the local law enforcement ended within, like, 2 weeks of the assassination attempt.
Trump just went back to Butler this last weekend, and the news coverage was minimal at best. But, like, over 80,000 people showed up, like, on the ground in Butler to see him. It's crazy. Guys, what you need to understand is this rapid fire news cycle serves a purpose. It's it the and the purpose goes beyond just trying to keep you glued to the TV because of all the drama and I mean, that's part of it because they need to program you, but it creates a sense of chaos.
Chaos and instability that makes it difficult for the public to focus on any one issue for any period of time. It overwhelms you with information. Much of it's contradictory anyway, or like just blatant lies. But they the goal is to overwhelm you with so much information that it it it fosters a sense of like helplessness and like just disorients you so that you can't focus. Because when you're helpless or you're in survival mode or you feel disoriented, what is hard to do?
Focus. Focus on the information you need to obtain to make the best decisions possible. To focus on one issue at a time, get to the bottom of it, figure out the resolution, and fix it. The goal is to keep you in perpetual chaos. Because in that environment, they can just continue to work behind the scenes confident that your attention is too scattered or too short to mount any coherent response to fight back.
It's on purpose. And Trump threw a freaking grenade on that. And and and and there the media's, you know, unprecedented rapid fire news cycle. It's just one one aspect of the establishment's full court press to maintain control in the face of Trump. I mean think about it.
His presidency guys was constant investigations, leaks, accusations, many of which were amplified by the media apparatus that was openly and still are openly hostile. Did you see the debates? Did you watch the debates? They're openly hostile to him and anybody that's a part of his campaign or administration. It's crazy, but constant investigations from Russia collusion, what which was proven to be garbage.
But how long that narrative still pops up in the media from time to time. So they had investigations, Russia collusion, impeachment proceedings, times 2. And now all of these questionable. And guys, if you know if you get informed and learn about how these laws work, questionable is being nice. These questionable indictments all over the country.
And the the ones that recently by the justice department. And that questionable is being nice. But all of this was done to delegitimize Trump and his presidency, and by extension, you. It's to delegitimize but here we go again. Can't talk.
That's okay. I'm a hang in there with you. It's to delegitimize you. You. To make you feel crazy and stupid.
How could you vote for a racist? He's not racist. A bigot. He's not bigoted. Well, he's orange.
How could you vote for an orange person? I thought color didn't matter. You see what I'm saying? That it's just it's to not just delegitimize Trump, but to delegitimize you. And this is why I'm voting for him because he's pushing back on this bullshit.
And everybody I mean, it goes beyond the media and the politicians. I mean, even institutions of academia and the tech industry. Most of the corporate world has also gotten in and piled on on Trump because they all benefit from our hard work, sweat, and tears, our tax money, and the money our government prints and puts our name on the IOU. I mean, guys, you most of us remember what it was like to not have social media platforms. Now we do.
And they used to be bastions of free expression when they first came out. Like, you could say whatever you wanted. I mean, they touted them as come on here, say what you want. It's first amendment, man. They used to be bastions of free expression.
Now they're arbiters of acceptable discourse. Like, what the fuck? They deplatform you if they don't like what you say or if you talk about, you know, jabs and other things, which I just don't want this video to get bounced or because it's such an important message so I won't bring it up but you know what I'm talking about. Deplatformed, if you talked about stuff that didn't align with the narrative or if you aligned yourself with Trump. If you challenged the mainstream narrative or aligned yourself with Trump, goodbye.
You're off the platform. And you'll hear you're a homegrown American extremist. No, man. I I just love my fellow citizens in America, and I'm tired of watching the establishment rob us. If that makes me extreme, well, fuck.
I guess I'm extreme then. Extremely pissed off that you keep taking our fucking well for your benefit. And guys, give me if I apologize. Like, I just the filter is not there, and I do drop the f bomb. So and I mark it explicit.
I know I warned you guys, but, you know, leave me feedback reviews. If you want me to drop the f bombs, let let me know. And, I mean, by drop them, I mean, stop saying them, not actually dropping them. You know what I'm saying. But if it is bothersome or you're like, hey, I would like my kids or whatever to look, then I'm, you know, feedback and I'll hold hold them in there.
Alright. What what we witnessed, guys, I'm trying to stay on point here because this is my long winded endorsement of why Trump matters and why I endorse him fully for president. What we witnessed during his presidency and now his reelection campaign was and is, and if you're paying attention, you'll see it, a coordinated effort by institutional democracy, which is the establishment to reassert its dominance over us. All it is, guys. It's a collective pulling of the levers of power to restore the status quo And to send a message to any outsiders, especially those who threaten the establishment, that you're not welcome in the halls of power.
So if you're not part of the good old boy club, you're not welcome here. And that is very un American. It's very pretentious, but that's how these elitists are. But that's the message they're trying to send. So if you ever thought about running for office, well, you better tow the party line.
We don't care which party line, but you better tow it because look what they're doing to Trump. So they're sending a message, and Trump has said it on the campaign trail, guys. Guys, they're not after me. They're after you, and I just happen to be in the way of that. Like, he's trying to wake you up, and what he's saying is true, and it's everywhere.
You can see it. I know they're really good at manipulation, but you can see it. And guys, this is why. It's like they're just trying to send a message that we're gonna get back power, and outsiders, you're not welcome. This is why everything seems so out of whack and upside down right now in America.
It just seems crazy. Like, crazy. We're on a crazy train. I mean, they they've been able to operate for so long behind the scenes, and Trump forced them out into the open. That's what really happened, guys.
And now they are revealing the to the extent to which they will and are willing to go to protect that power. That's. Keep in mind guys that that power is ours, but they're confiscating it for themselves. And I know the chaos and the confusion and the the up seeming like it's down and down seeming like it's up is disconcerting. But I think this is a moment of opportunity for us in our country.
Guys, Trump has brought in light to so many issues that have been just kinda simmering beneath the surface for decades. I mean, it's exposed all the mechanisms of control. It has shown the system. It's been the peak behind the curtain. And even though they're gonna do everything they can to try to maintain power, it has also shown that the system is not invulnerable.
It can be changed. Trump has proven that. And if you're finally waking up, and you're like, man, I see it. This is the most monumental election in our lifetimes, then this is a call to action. If you see through this bullshit and agree that fundamental change back to the way this country was designed to be run, then get involved.
These institutions are not as all powerful as they appear to be. It can be scary because, yeah, they can try to put you in jail for dissenting and all that stuff, but the power is not theirs. It's ours. And they're not as powerful as they appear. The will of the people can still make a difference.
I promise. But guys seizing this opportunity is gonna require you to be courageous and take a willingness have a willingness to accept any fallout that may come from challenging this and the establishment. Any fallout, it's you gotta be courageous here. You gotta be willing to accept the fallout by saying, you know what? I support Trump.
Call me whatever name you want, but we're taking our country back. Because there will be fallout. Because the establishment is doing everything it can to hold on. And the world, it seems completely upside down right now. But guess what?
That's what happens when you when you peel the curtain back and see the odds. When you see the inner workings of all this shit exposed to the light of day, guys, it's it's gonna create some conflict. It's gonna create some weird twilight zone vibes. And really, guys, the question that I ask myself often about the American people and the state at which we're in is it's not whether or not we should fight to take back control, and by fight, I mean get involved, get active. I'm not condoning violence because I know you will be accused of that, and it's not true.
Question is not whether we should fight to take back this control, but the question I have is do we have the resolve to do so? Do we have the resolve to fight back? Do we have the resolve to handle the turmoil that it may cause? That's that's the question for America right now. That's the question for the citizens.
It's not a matter of should we fight back, take back power. That is obvious. I'm worried we might not have the resolve that we'll actually toe the line, that we'll hang in there, but we will remain tough and in the fight. It's been a couple 100 years. Guys, true change is never easy, and it often comes at a cost.
But in my mind, it's a cost worth paying for. If we can create a future where the American dream is alive and well again, it's not just an easy slogan on somebody's campaign sign, but a reality, then it is worth the cost. It is worth more than the cost of popularity or whether somebody thinks you're a racist or a bigot because you're speaking up for the American people because really they're just brainwashed. You know, I used to be super hard on liberals. On TikTok, you go look at some of my TikTok comments, posts, everything.
I would just drone on Liberals because I was like, man, you guys are just dumb. Liberals are just dumb, but they're not. They're brainwashed. They've been manipulated. It's like they've been in that abusive relationship for 20 years, and if the dems stop beating on them, they'll ask why they stop beating on them.
And it's sad, so I don't hate liberals. I feel for them. I feel sorry for them that they haven't stepped outside of the echo chamber long enough to realize there's actually not an echo chamber on the other side. It's free citizens going, hey, we see the government bullshit. We're just done with it.
And it's not that we all love Trump or think he's some god. It's that we know he will go fix it. That's the only reason. If it was someone else that wasn't named Donald Trump, we would all be for that person. If they were a ball busting fixer that was like, you know what?
I don't I don't care what these political elite think of me. I'm not part of the club. I I crashed the party. I'm not the norm. I broke your system, and now you're pissed at me.
And if it would have been anyone else, not Trump, we would be with that person. Because it's about bucking against the system. So, you know, there's gonna be some fallout guys. The cost may be high. Your liberal friends may hate you, may call you names.
Your company may fire you. Don't hate them. Don't hate them for they don't know any better. They have been lied to and manipulated for years. Most of them, their entire life depending on where they grew up in this country.
It's not their fault. Just like it's not the victim's fault when their abuser attacks them. We it's just like I said in the last episode, we cannot put the blame at the feet of the immigrants that wanna come here for a better life. We put the blame at the feet of the people allowing it to happen who are breaking our social compact. Same with liberals, same with far right, racist, bigoted, whoever, and I I don't even know if shit.
I don't even know if racist, bigoted people are on the far right anymore, like, because it's so upside down. Everything is crazy. But that's by design. The change isn't easy. But goddamn.
The the American dream sorry, Lord. Didn't mean to say your name vain there. American dream is worth it, guys. It's gotta be more than a slogan. But Trump forced their hand.
Now it's been revealed. So the real work begins now. We've got, like, what? 30 days? I could be off on that.
Not exactly sure. 30 days? Guys, it's gotta happen now. The real work begins now. It's up to us to make sure that this moment of exposure leads to a genuine shift in power.
Like, it's in our hands. This means engage in grassroots activism. Push for state level reforms. Get involved in your state and local governments. Advocate for changes to the constitution so we can end the corruption in congress and at the bureaucracies in this country.
Like, it's now. Our window is getting shorter and shorter, guys, to make this change, and it has to be in the forefront of our minds. This isn't just another election cycle where we're all gonna talk about politics and the minute December comes, it's like, oh, Christmas, New Year, Super Bowl. Yay. And then we moved on, like, New Year, Super Bowl.
Yay. And then we moved on like fucking forgetting about it for another 2 to 4 years. No. It we can't do it anymore. We've we're losing control of our sovereignty and our country.
We gotta start thinking for ourselves and rejecting all these bullshit, manipulative narratives designed to keep you compliant and complacent because that's all they're there for. And I know you're the host on your TV shows, but did you just think, oh, I think can they really be a part of something so evil and twisted where they just gotta lie to us and propagandize us? Yes. People like this exist. It's real.
They don't give a crap about you. Oh, but, no, I met, Jen Packie one time at a Starbucks, and she seemed so sweet. Yeah. Maybe. But trust me when I say it, guys.
They're part of the coordinated propaganda effort. They don't care about you. And in the in the back rooms and in their house and in the places where they are hanging out with their circle, they talk about how stupid you are. They they don't care. They know more than you.
Trust me. Just ask them. They'll tell you. Guys, this Trump, if he's done anything for us, he's shown us that this system can be challenged, that the institutions are not unassailable. K?
We can do this. So now is the time. Let's take what we're learning, what we're figuring out. Let's use it to build a grassroots movement that can really affect change. And we're we're gonna do some of this.
I've got something that's gonna roll out here soon. Not ready to announce it yet, and it's promise I'm not teasing. It's just I'm not actually ready to announce it yet because it's not completely, set up ready to go yet. But we're gonna we're gonna start a grassroots, movement. Okay?
So to actively work on this long after this presidential campaign. But guys, whether you love Trump or hate him, you have to acknowledge. We must acknowledge that his candidacy and presidency gave us a rare opportunity to see what the fuck's actually going on in this country, to understand what's really going on with the establishment, with the UNI party, the deep state, which again is all the bureaucracies. His candidacy, guys, let us peek behind the curtain. And it also allowed us to see the length to which these people will go to to maintain their power.
And for that, I am eternally grateful to Trump. You know, I I don't think Trump is, you know, he's got his issues and his moral issues and all the stuff. I don't think he's a god. There is only one true god in my world. But we are all flawed humans.
Trump, me, all of us. Because we're equal. We're equally flawed. We're equally awesome. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
But I am grateful that he ran, that he actually flipped over the apple cart. So it's it's a reason if nothing else. Love or hate him. Have some gratitude that this guy actually pulled the veil back. But now it's up to us.
We gotta seize on this moment. We gotta ensure that the exposure he brought to these issues actually leads to meaningful change. Like, we've gotta reclaim our power. Because guys, the power rightfully belongs to us, the people. And I'm gonna leave it there.
So make sure you vote, and I hope your vote is for Donald Trump. Alright, guys. That's it for today. Again, if you wouldn't mind, share the show for me. If it if it got you thinking or you think it would do somebody good to hear the message, send it to them, share it with them, repost it on social media, but more importantly, go to Itunes, go to Spotify, leave a rating and review because I don't actually push the show up, so more more people can find it organically, and it it would mean the world to me.
But until then, guys, I'm Justin Staton, and stay informed, stay strong, more importantly, stay in the fight. Okay, guys. Till next time.
