00:01:15.000🎵 You're a stranger in love, that's what I know. You're a stranger in love, I got to follow. I'm in the spirit.
00:05:31.000Before we get to any of that, here's something that, you know, every now and then, look, the Paul brothers do something kind of right.
00:05:41.000So, the upcoming fight with Mike Tyson, which I'm sure will take place, Jake Paul actually had some comments for New York, and this is what happens after you meet President Trump once.
00:07:13.000Since Kamala Harris has been the nominee and she still has given zero formal interviews, zero official press conferences, but credit where it's due, she finally went off script and answered a question.
00:07:40.000Which brings us to, and this will set up, of course, the segment we have on Is She a Drunk?
00:07:43.000The answer is yes, but we'll prove why today in Kamala.
00:07:47.000I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been, you know?
00:07:54.000Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful country of ours in terms of what we stand for around the globe as a democracy.
00:08:04.000I'm buying pickles and barbecue sauce.
00:10:31.000Let's be honest, it was basically an instructional.
00:10:33.000This has led the internet to do some digging and then we had to verify.
00:10:38.000Okay, what out there, what that exists in the internet here is true because there's some clips out there that are slowed down, there are some that are edited, I think some have used some AI, so what I can tell you is you can check all the references at lotterworthcreditor.com, link in the description.
00:10:52.000What you are about to see, these are accurate clips from the original sources.
00:10:56.000And I will be careful with my wording and refer to them as drunk adjacent.
00:14:20.000Look, here's the thing, and you guys, if you guys want to send, you know, tips to us, lwctipsatprotonmail.com, if you work in the hotels, show us how many of the miniature bottles are missing from the minibar.
00:15:21.000And they are making a movie about her life, which you seem, it seems like this may be foreshadowing starring Denzel Washington called Vices.
00:16:27.000We'll get to her economic policy, which is terrifying, and you know she didn't write it because it wasn't riddled with typos and every other paragraph saying that she really loves you.
00:17:33.000He's like, I'll take the hit, dude, don't worry about it.
00:17:35.000She seems drunk, but the policies that she's proposed, even from pro-Barack Obama economists, their response has basically been, with the rollout of her economic policy or the proposals, their response has been like, yeah, she's drunk.
00:18:10.000So, again, all the references are available at LatticeCredit.com.
00:18:12.000This is according to the Washington Post, the first ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries, setting clear rules of the road to make clear that big corporations can't unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive corporate profits on food and groceries.
00:18:25.000So what that means is if goods or services or the raw materials or the energy costs go up, the government, run by drunk Kamala Harris, will come in and say, no, this is what you charge.
00:19:10.000All the corporations, and now maybe if you have just a duopoly or a tripopoly, and that's why we have antitrust laws, if they collude together, for example, like American auto manufacturers, especially when they receive never-ending bailout subsidies.
00:19:20.000You see that, for example, with airlines.
00:19:23.000There may be some of that because they effectively are.
00:19:26.000wings of the government, but in individual grocers, different franchises, or individual
00:19:31.000restaurants, guess what? They have to be competitive. They need to court your business.
00:19:35.000And so, if a couple companies would price fix, another company would come in and say,
00:19:39.000hey, we can clean up. Yeah, exactly. And at that point, wouldn't, you know, farmers and
00:19:44.000ranchers, wouldn't they price fix together too for their prices to the stores?
00:19:48.000Well, the price-fixing does happen with ranchers and farmers.
00:20:09.000Because the government says we can't have a year where there are so many cherries that the price goes down, and the next year the prices go up.
00:20:20.000The government is the one in charge of price fixing.
00:20:22.000So to solve the fake problem of corporations price fixing, which makes no sense, she says the government is going to step in and price fix.
00:20:30.000I don't know if you know this, it's been tried.
00:21:36.000Because it's so little margin, because these big guys are competing like crazy with each other, it works really well, and people are going after them for milk?
00:21:44.000Well, the price fixing will favor, again, the giant grocers, just like we saw during COVID.
00:21:54.000If you were in Michigan, under, you know, wicked governor of the West, the Midwest, Gretchen Whitmer, you could go to Costco, you could go to Walmart, You couldn't go to a local grocer.
00:22:18.000You saw, I believe it was 1,500, we cited this last week, 1,500 at least confirmed businesses that went under that will never come back as a result of the lockdown policies.
00:22:26.000When you end up implementing regulations into an industry, That are in no way beholden to the free market.
00:24:02.000And I'll explain to you the difference, comparing Kamala Harris versus JD Vance.
00:24:06.000She wants to provide this $6,000 tax credit to families for each newborn baby.
00:24:12.000It's, I get it, the one, hey, baby steps, it's the one instance where the Democrat Party He actually sees a newborn baby and thinks anything other than how to kill it.
00:24:19.000Well, that's fair, but it has to be born to get to 6K.
00:25:12.000Which was kind of a landmark policy from Donald Trump, and she was a tiebreaker on the bill that of course increased IRS surveillance and taxations on tips.
00:25:23.000So she is stealing from their playbook, but then she gets it wrong.
00:25:28.000And the way she gets it wrong is there are none of the income, or effectively the productivity requirements for child tax credits.
00:25:36.000So I don't know if you know this, Um, but this is how you end up creating the kind of problem that you've seen, uh, with black American families.
00:25:45.000After we saw this with Lyndon Johnson, and we saw this with Model Cities, and we saw this, you know, with the Great Societies program, where you have women—you've heard the term baby mamas, and people will say it's racist, but it's a term that's used because you have women who, if they are not married, they don't have the father in the household.
00:26:03.000You have some people who effectively end up having more children because it allows them to not work.
00:26:07.000So now if you add on top of that just a child tax credit, which we're not talking about EBT or actual welfare benefits, but a child tax credit with no income, no work requirements, you are now encouraging effectively On productivity.
00:26:23.000And you're going to compound the problem of fatherless households.
00:26:27.000It needs to come with some prerequisites.
00:26:28.000I don't know if you know this, but I don't necessarily believe that if you subsidize something, you get more of it.
00:26:35.000Because we don't really see that with solar.
00:26:36.000We don't really see that with wind or renewable resources.
00:26:39.000But we certainly do see taxation and relief from taxation as a behavioral modification.
00:26:46.000And in this instance, why would you want to reward people not working?
00:26:51.000It'd be like rewarding people for smoking and drinking, which Kamala Harris likely does as well.
00:26:56.000It doesn't make sense to give a tax credit for someone who doesn't pay taxes.
00:27:53.000You saved, scraped, and paid for a house, and now through your tax dollars you get to pay for someone else to get a $25,000 down payment from Uncle Sam.
00:28:03.000I don't know if you know this, there's already a shortage of 4.5 million homes in this country.
00:28:07.000She wants to increase, effectively, demand at a time where there is arguably record low supply or certainly historically low supply.
00:28:20.000If you were to design a policy just to create more inflation, which we've done for the last three years, we've seen similar policies, this would be a brilliant way to go about it.
00:28:29.000Yeah it would actually drive like we said we will drive the prices up now whether it drives it up you know by $25,000 as some people have said per house no that's probably not going to happen but it will drive the prices up it's not addressing the thing that is keeping people from buying homes right now which is mortgage interest rates it's massive we did a segment on this and how much you would have to pay every single month yeah Huge amounts of money going out because the interest rate went from around 3 or 4 percent to 7 percent.
00:31:22.000This is all predicated, and this is the mistake that has constantly been made.
00:31:26.000It's predicated on the idea of, you're going to increase the tax base, property taxes, that people will make those payments, that people will be able to afford it.
00:31:37.000If you are giving someone $25,000 as a down payment on a house, What are the prerequisites there that prove this person guaranteed will be able to make those payments?
00:31:56.000People were subsidized to buy homes they couldn't afford.
00:31:58.000Under the names of effectively what is originally kind of DEI, right?
00:32:02.000It was, hey, we need to make sure that people, people who can't afford homes, people who haven't saved for a down payment, banks, you can't discriminate.
00:32:45.000You have these bills, effectively, that are designed to re-engineer society and to tell financial institutions, hey, a certain portion of the population are not getting homes.
00:32:54.000And the banks say, well, yeah, because they can't afford them and we wouldn't lend these people money because they won't pay them back.
00:32:58.000The government says, you have to give those people homes.
00:33:52.000Bill Clinton and George W. Bush said pretty much the exact same thing, which led to the 2008 crisis.
00:33:58.000We're attracting more capital into affordable housing and community development by strengthening the Community Reinvestment Act, expanding the network of community development financial institutions, making permanent mortgage revenue bonds and the low-income housing tax credit, and gaining greater commitments from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
00:34:19.000Less than half of all African Americans and Hispanic Americans are homeowners.
00:34:23.000When a low-income family is qualified to buy a home, but comes up short on the down payment, the American Dream Down Payment Fund will help provide the needed funds.
00:34:33.000It's a bad idea no matter who says it, and here's a little bit of cold water for you.
00:34:36.000Down payments are kind of a barrier to entry for a reason.
00:34:39.000When you go to apply for a loan, you have to show that that money has been in your account.
00:34:43.000You can't have somebody give you money for a down payment and it just magically show up in the bank and go, that sounds good enough for me.
00:34:49.000They want to see a pattern of behavior that indicates that you will pay back the loan, that you understand that this is going to cost you to do.
00:34:58.000And giving people money To go into a house doesn't do that.
00:35:11.000To put all of your life savings into it, to get a loan, to go into a home, and then to lose it two, three years later when you can't make the payments.
00:35:18.000That's worse than saying, hey, I got to rent for a little while longer and tighten the belt a little bit.
00:35:22.000But I wanted to sum all of this up with one of your favorite songs.
00:35:25.000This is Kamala Harris's kind of thing.
00:35:57.000My very first time doing this show on radio was a three-hour show Friday mornings syndicated 6 to 9 a.m.
00:36:05.000I did an entire segment on why Bruce Springsteen was the worst person on earth and they wiped the internet of those old clips where you can find him when he was young talking like this, he was talking like this, and then he's talking like he's the boss.
00:38:40.000I mean, but I wanted to tell him, like, we have a lot better candy in America than Chiclets.
00:38:44.000Like, I don't know if you know this, but when tourists come to your land, you guys can, you mustn't be afraid to dream a little bit bigger, love.
00:38:50.000Like, Chiclets, we can bring cool stuff, and you're still fixated on the Chiclets?
00:38:54.000Well, I don't set their expectations too high.
00:38:56.000You don't want to tell these kids all about Sour Patch Kids and all that.
00:38:59.000Could you imagine a bunch of kids living under Communist Cuba with a few sour straws?
00:39:13.000Speaking of foreign lands, we are going to have Mr. Figueredo here on the show, which I guess, well, you know, if you're watching, you won't be able to see this on Rumble in Brazil, so that's the value, I guess, of still having YouTube, because some of YouTube is available in Brazil, I think.
00:39:28.000This is something that's pretty scary.
00:39:29.000And this is why we talk about big tech, where it's not just about the United States, because other governments apply pressure to these companies.
00:39:36.000And then they implement foreign government policies here in the United States.
00:39:41.000It's kind of a way of importing socialism digitally.
00:39:44.000So I'm glad to see Elon Musk take a stand here.
00:39:52.000Elon Musk announced that X is going to be closing its office in Brazil.
00:39:57.000He wrote this, he said, the decision to close the X office in Brazil was difficult, but if we had agreed to Alexandria's This is Morais, his illegal secret censorship and private information handover demands.
00:40:10.000There was no way we could explain our actions without being ashamed.
00:40:13.000It's kind of a funny way of describing it.
00:40:19.000We've been covering this for a long time here on the show.
00:40:21.000Alexander Morais said that X's legal representative would be arrested If the site did not remove accounts of specifically 19 influencers and one politician.
00:40:54.000So when people talk about freedom of speech existing elsewhere in the world, it's not a thing.
00:40:58.000And it's certainly not a thing in Brazil.
00:41:00.000Remember, Marias, he's the person, he campaigned against the Brazilian right-wingers under the guise of combating digital militias, that's what he said, digital militias, we have to get rid of these digital militias.
00:41:11.000And he also temporarily banned Telegram.
00:41:15.000in I believe 2022 over a pro-Bolsonaro account. Think about this. A politician, a Supreme Court
00:41:20.000judge had a private application banned because someone was pro-one candidate. And people think
00:41:29.000the only way that they steal elections is by ballot harvesting or by rigging a machine. Do
00:41:34.000you see how it happens? It happens across the world all the time. Well, these guys also shut
00:41:38.000down an entire news organization because of its kind of truth telling to power that they didn't
00:41:44.000And look, here in the United States, we get it.
00:41:46.000There's a lot of people who say stuff that we disagree with, that gets us off message, that moves us in places, that we're like, ah, that's fake, okay, fine, we have to deal with that.
00:41:53.000But you've got one guy just basically saying, no, this one goes, this one goes, this one goes.
00:41:57.000So this is the same kind of thing when you talk about define hate speech, right?
00:42:01.000When you put the power in one person's hand.
00:42:43.000So live drinking game rules to follow and I am going to be very careful with this because we've been too good with our drinking game rules.
00:45:08.000Do you have any idea, like, sometimes you ever just think about God, and he's like, ah, if there are only ten decent, if there are ten good men left, like, what does it take for a portion of this globe just to be turned into pillars of salt?
00:45:18.000Like, he's looking down, he's like, wait a second, what?
00:45:20.000You got these people protesting because they want to wipe Israel off the face of the map, and what, half of these people have monkey pox?
00:45:48.000In December of 2023, Rumble left Brazil, right over the censorship threats from this Mariah's Supreme Court Justice.
00:45:54.000And then in April, the same man ordered Elon Musk to block accounts on X kind of had to pretend that the ban was for terms of service violations, not by the judge's order.
00:46:08.000We had a couple of notable Brazilian journalists on this show quite a few times here, and that's because we understand that there are parallels here with Brazil, if you're in the United States, that you need to be following.
00:46:25.000It's playing out in real time over there.
00:46:27.000And of course, if you look at the people who are allies with, I don't even want to say liberal, the socialist factions in Brazil, of course, they're the same socialist factions here in the United States.
00:46:37.000And these, I believe we have a montage for those who haven't been caught up on these people from Brazil who were very grateful to have given a platform and a voice because they couldn't speak on Rumble and they couldn't speak on Axe in Brazil for a long time as per orders from their government.
00:46:56.000I used to have sometimes more viewers than Fox News on primetime in the U.S.
00:47:07.000needs to become, again, a force for freedom and democracy.
00:47:11.000And one day, I woke with everything blocked, and plus, all my assets in Brazil, all my assets and bank accounts were frozen.
00:47:18.000We have been learning that the whole theoretical framework So here to discuss this and more in the recent developments is a noted journalist and I guess you could say outlaw, yeah, and adorable Brazilian Paulo Figueiredo.
00:47:46.000Mr. Figueiredo, can you see me, hear me, sir?
00:48:06.000It's my name, which is very hard to type in English, but it's paulofigueridoshow.com, and I'm also on X, and so people can support me several ways.
00:48:22.000Elon is now shutting down the X office in Brazil.
00:48:28.000What has changed, because I know before he was maybe kind of kowtowing a little bit, or was it under the guise of terms of service violations?
00:48:34.000Can you let people know what the change is right now as far as Elon Musk and the status of, you know, voices of opposition in Brazil and X?
00:48:44.000Well, first of all, I hope you like my mug.
00:49:15.000Because last Tuesday, Glenn Greenwald, yeah, that Glenn Greenwald, the American journalist who blew the lid off the U.S.
00:49:23.000deep state and the NSA with the Snowden files, the Pulitzer winner and all, very leftist, he dropped a bombshell in Brazil.
00:49:32.000So for those who are out of the loop, Glenn lives in Brazil.
00:49:38.000He was married to a Brazilian socialist congressman who recently passed, and he got his hands on six gigabytes of cell phone chats, conversations, from the staff of Moraes, Brazil's dictator, Moraes.
00:49:55.000And man, those conversations were damning as hell, for sure.
00:50:00.000I would also imagine very gay, but yes, go on.
00:50:06.000Well, you'll be the judge of that, okay?
00:50:09.000For starters, the first report showed that on December 30th, and we're talking about Folha de São Paulo is a leftist mainstream newspaper in Brazil.
00:50:20.000They're often compared to the New York Times, okay?
00:50:22.000They're the largest, most known newspaper in the country.
00:50:26.000So Glenn Greenwald, on this newspaper, He showed on his report that on December 30th, while everyone was partying and getting drunk, Morais, a justice from the Supreme Court, was putting together a dossier against, on me, and me, and another journalist, Rodrigo Constantino, who is also based here in the US.
00:50:50.000So, I think that's very hard to wrap your head around, because finding out that a Supreme Court Justice is building a dossier against you, it's mind-blowing.
00:51:01.000I mean, the fact that a judge is complying evidence for accusation, it's definitely a violation, a crazy violation of due process.
00:51:11.000So when he was not happy with the dossier, his lackeys asked for more of my tweets to be added saying, well, oh, he's got a bee on his bonnet.
00:51:22.000So and and when that happens, it's a nightmare.
00:51:26.000So he's at staff talking about him putting up a dossier against journalists.
00:51:32.000So in another chat, he's asking to censor Brazil's highest right-wing magazine.
00:51:38.000And when the people say they only found journalist content on the side, they can't censor that.
00:51:42.000Marais, right-hand man orders, get creative.
00:51:48.000I don't want to get into all the details.
00:51:50.000But it is, I mean, this is something people need to know.
00:51:52.000Of course, you had an election that many people in Brazil and the United States Questioned and again like I said there are many ways to tilt an election or outright steal an election in silencing voices of opposition silencing stories and removing content that could inform the public and certainly would inform their vote is one of those ways what's odd to me I shouldn't say odd is that even after
00:52:15.000You know, the election that they won in Brazil, they're still pushing for it, which means they want to stranglehold forevermore, right?
00:52:21.000They want to maintain that grip on power.
00:52:24.000Let me ask you this, since ex-employees may not, I guess they may not be like in danger in Brazil anymore, do you think that Elon's going to be reinstating all of these accounts that the Brazilian Supreme Court forced him to ban?
00:52:38.000I left out the worst part of the dialogues of Morais because there's one point where his Chief of Staff talks about Alan, Alan DeSantis, who you met.
00:52:49.000Also a journalist, also under asylum here in the U.S.
00:52:53.000There's a moment on these conversations that Morais' Chief of Staff literally says, Well, it makes me want to send some thugs to grab this guy by force and shove him on a Brazilian plane.
00:55:51.000So Elon Musk finally said enough of this crap and pulled the plug on Axe operations in Brazil.
00:55:58.000As for now, the platform is still up and running, but there's a real chance he might block the DNS of Axe and ask for the removal from the App Store and Google Play Store in any second.
00:56:14.000VPN downloads in Brazil went through the roof.
00:56:18.000Then, yesterday, ProtonVPN, who's a sponsor of my channel and one of the largest in Brazil, they vanished from App Store, from Apple App Store, and no one knows why.
00:56:31.000Proton's Twitter account said that it might be due to a secret censorship order from Rice.
00:56:46.000Can people still, is there a way around it where they can go to the website and download it?
00:56:50.000Yeah, well, you can download it through the website, and people that use Androids can also download either through the Google Play Store, or they can, people that use... Well, give it a, give it a big plug.
00:57:03.000Let people know while you're, while you're right here.
00:57:05.000Yeah, straight people that use, that don't use iPhones.
00:57:09.000Hey, hey, hey, I'm not the one who enjoyed prison, buddy.
00:59:45.000And that will create, will propose sanctions to Brazilian authorities that violate human rights, such as free speech.
00:59:52.000So the pressure is building up, and the only way for the country to survive this is impeaching Marias.
00:59:59.000Otherwise, things are not great in Brazil at all, otherwise I wouldn't be here with as many journalists, prohibited from going back to my country.
01:00:10.000But, look, can you imagine the moral hazard if we have all these dialogues, chats, becoming public, and nothing happens?
01:00:22.000He's going to be more and more empowered.
