00:03:32.000Hey, maybe some open casting calls of people out there.
00:03:35.000If you built up a channel and you're willing to put in the work and you want to see a three to four times viewership, you want a time slot here on Rumble Live, the lineup, reach out.
00:03:48.000But reach out because we want to keep building this out and fill out a clock to have as much free content for you, the viewer, as possible.
00:03:55.000Black Pillars, we're going to be talking about you today.
00:03:59.000We're going to be talking about what you've gotten wrong and what kind of alternative reality we could live in.
00:06:54.000Well, because some people were complaining, I don't feel there was a conspiracy that I was drinking something weird on the State of the Union stream.
00:09:27.000In 1908, Jack Johnson became the first black world heavyweight boxing champion.
00:09:32.000And interestingly enough, they tried to bar blacks from being champion for a long time until like Joe Lewis after that because he liked the white women.
00:11:45.000reach the moon from the crater to the cheese but a lot happened on the moon including how they discovered magic moon dust they were going to use their magic no jews up there free palestine and help others it's gunpowder I am really proud of this book.
00:12:03.000And it is actually coming out at the same time that I'm about to be a grandmother.
00:17:09.000By the way, I have black neighbors who are fantastic, who I would hope would step in if they saw something like that happening.
00:17:14.000But if you find yourself in that situation where you are the victim of violent assault, you don't need to wait for it to escalate to the point that you bounce off the concrete, the linoleum, the tile floor.
00:17:27.000If you find yourself in that situation, fight back.
00:17:30.000It's the only thing that's going to make a difference because an entire generation of young black men have been taught that you are weak, that you are afraid, that you can be intimidated.
00:18:44.000And I know legislatively, I'll tell you what it needs to be done.
00:18:47.000That Cuba, there's a strong case for it potentially, if stuff goes down, us liberating them and absorbing them into Florida.
00:18:56.000Then it renders all of the swing states irrelevant.
00:18:59.000And we have the closest thing to a superstate like California on the right because it's one of the most consistently conservative voting blocs in America.
00:19:06.000Cuban Americans, these people want to be liberated.
00:19:09.000At some point in time, it's going to happen.
00:19:11.000You can't have an island that close right off our shores with Russian, Chinese influence.
00:19:16.000It's a national security issue, and things may be escalating.
00:19:20.000And I know you'll say it's a psyop because we want to go to war with Cuba, but we're not talking about boots on the ground.
00:19:24.000A few flyovers could really take care of most of it.
00:19:27.000So yesterday, some Cuban security forces killed four and injured six.
00:19:34.000What we're hearing right now or more individuals on a Florida registered speedboat will give you some of the context because Cuban government says one thing, and there are other reports that say the exact opposite.
00:19:45.000We begin with breaking news just off the coast of Cuba.
00:19:48.000Local 10 is learning a speedboat from Florida made it to the island.
00:19:52.000The Cuban government confirming tonight it killed four people on board with another six left injured, fearing it was an attack.
00:19:59.000That boat was registered here in Florida and it was in Cuban waters.
00:20:04.000We do know this morning four men were killed.
00:20:35.000As it stands now, the Department of Homeland Security, the Coast Guard, others are involved.
00:20:40.000The majority of the information we still possess is what Cuban authorities are providing, both the public and the U.S. government.
00:20:46.000We have our embassy on the ground in Havana working this as we speak, asking for access to the people that were on those vessels if they were American citizens or permanent residents, according to the Cuban regime, that the boat was registered in Florida.
00:21:01.000The majority of the facts being publicly reported are those by the information provided by the Cubans.
00:22:03.000The firefight involved a U.S. civilian boat that was part of a flotilla to get relatives out of Cuba, adding that the vessel was not a U.S. Navy or Coast Guard boat.
00:23:26.000And then entertaining the troops in Guantanamo Bay.
00:23:28.000You know, one of the biggest threats in Guantanamo Bay, the reason they had people on that wall on that fence, is Cubans trying to get in to Gitmo.
00:23:36.000They would rather be prisoners of Gitmo than citizens of Cuba.
00:23:41.000Which brings us to the Cuban government, she said.
00:23:48.000So they said that all participants, the Cuban, they were Cuban nationals living in the United States, they were attempting to infiltrate and conduct terrorist activities and that weapons were seized, including assault rifles, Molotov cocktails, Also, a box of exploding cigars destined for current president Miguel Diaz-Canel.
00:24:13.000Now, people will look at this and say, well, the American boat fired first.
00:24:20.000But you would too if you were trying to get some people out of Cuba, if they were trying to flee and then Cuban government officials came upon you because now you have a choice to make, go away forever or fight.
00:24:32.000So there is some missing context here.
00:24:35.000I tend to believe that they were trying to get some Cuban nationals out because we've seen that time and time again.
00:24:43.000Now, you have some on the left who are parroting the Cuban government line, right?
00:24:48.000And this will bring us to the black pillars later.
00:24:50.000They're trying to tell you that, see, your government is just looking for a reason for war.
00:24:54.000And, you know, Michael Moore said that Cuba actually has better health care than us here in the United States.
00:24:58.000The left always lines up with opposing governments and their propaganda.
00:25:03.000They'll use Hamas's numbers when talking about the Israeli conflict.
00:25:08.000They will use Cuba's statements when discussing our relations.
00:25:12.000So let me give you some other examples as to why you may not want to trust the government of Cuba.
00:25:15.000In 1994, the 13 de Marzo tugboat massacre.
00:25:18.000The Cuban government deliberately sank refugee vessels, one in particular, killing 41, including 10 children.
00:25:26.000And the Cuban government called it an accident.
00:25:29.0002010, there was the Missouri hospital deaths.
00:25:31.00026 psychiatric patients died from starvation and prolonged neglect.
00:25:35.000The Cuban government claimed that they died from cold temperatures.
00:26:20.000So here's also why I think, look, people are saying this may be a reason for escalation and we're just looking for a reason to go to war.
00:26:27.000Well, let's think about this for a second.
00:26:29.000If it looks like Venezuela, if it looks like removing their dictator and giving people there a fighting chance, also what will we get from it?
00:26:37.000Is would a secure Cuba be in our national security interest?
00:26:41.000Would it be in the interests of not only American people, of course, first and foremost, but the Cuban people?
00:28:20.000She wrote, it has been 67 years of a falling dictatorship and an oppressive regime.
00:28:26.000The Cuban people are suffering in an echo chamber where no one can hear them because to speak is to risk your life.
00:28:32.000Many people are starving, looking for food in trash heaps, and the only way to survive is having relatives ship you boxes of medicine because not even the hospitals have medicine fact check true.
00:28:43.000I have quite a few close friends who are Cuban Americans whose parents lived there.
00:28:50.000As a notable Cuban who has family there in Cuba, by the way, not even a Trump supporter.
00:28:56.000Pretty anti-Trump, if I'm not mistaken.
00:28:58.000But she understands the reality of Cuba.
00:29:00.000So those on the left, terrified that Americans may learn of the perils of communism, well, that brings us to, he said, Hassan Piker chiming in saying, nah, don't believe her lived experiences.
00:29:18.000Do you know how fing stupid that statement is?
00:29:21.000The entire planet that is terrified of coming out against the United States of America has said time and time again over the past 67 years, please end the blockade.
00:29:54.000It's extra disgusting when you're parroting this imperialist propaganda at a time of crisis when your family members are directly being starved by the American government.
00:30:14.000So you don't blame the Cuban government, which has been effectively a dynasty for a very long time.
00:30:19.000And you wear the founder of the Feast, Che Guevara, on your, you wear him on your t-shirts, the guy who bragged about executing without trial and was intensely racist and also killed gays while we're at it.
00:31:13.000You'd leave it in a suitcase open for the housekeepers because it was something that couldn't be tracked that they could take home to their families.
00:31:21.000Now, if the United States said, hey, we lift the blockade and Americans can go and spend millions upon millions of dollars with no change in government.
00:31:28.000Do you think they're going to go, wow, we have, oh, look at this.
00:31:35.000Or do you think they would still, in practice, follow their communist beliefs that they need to control means of production, distribution, revenue, and distribute it how they see fit.
00:31:48.000What would change aside from many, many, many, many millions or billions of dollars going to the Cuban government?
00:31:54.000Why would it all of a sudden go to the people?
00:31:57.000Why no responsibility for China and Russia?
00:32:00.000The left will blame the United States for the plight of Cuba.
00:32:05.000And since they want to do that, hey, how about this?
00:32:08.000If this escalates and we get into a conflict, let's make Cuba a part of Florida.
00:32:14.000I mean, it would need to be a territory first, just to be clear.
00:32:23.000But the population of Florida would grow from 23 million to 34 million.
00:32:27.000You'd gain 14 congressional seats, 14 congressional seats, and it would be a guaranteed hard red state the way California is blue, rendering all other swing states irrelevant.
00:32:38.000Guarantee you, huge portion of the Cuban people would be happy with it.
00:32:46.000The agriculture, what we could do is easily incentivize.
00:32:49.000We wouldn't need to subsidize like we do American farmers, but incentivize purchasing sugar cane, fruit, some of the major exports from Cuba.
00:32:55.000The tourism alone would turn many of them into what we know as middle-class Americans, which they have never seen in their country.
00:33:04.000And it would be in our national security interest to have something there as opposed to potentially a landing point for communist adversarial nations.
00:33:12.000So I think that if this escalates, Cuba becomes Florida, and that's it.
00:33:20.000I guarantee you, you wouldn't get enough votes from the left.
00:33:22.000The same people who want Puerto Rico, why do you think?
00:34:02.000And I'm like, listen, Hassan, like this should be your paradise.
00:34:06.000This should be like everything that you said that the United States wasn't and everything that every other country on the planet could be, you know, this communist hellhole.
00:34:15.000And they have the support of the rest of the communist hellholes on the planet.
00:34:19.000They should be nothing but a thriving civilization in paradise.
00:34:23.000And yet, the way that you frame it, they are being held hostage by the United States.
00:34:27.000They need to be set free from the United States, which doesn't really have anything to do with them anymore, other than having a base there.
00:37:02.000It's predicated on this idea that Democrats are gaining momentum, that they're doing really well, and that they're becoming popular, and they are going to become the populists.
00:37:11.000That objectively couldn't be further from the truth.
00:37:15.000Just take it from Harrietton with what a shocker.
00:37:18.000Look at the net approval ratings for Republicans in Congress.
00:37:23.000This shutdown hasn't even been the Donald Trump support at all.
00:42:06.000That's just not in tune with not only Trump voters, but even those who are more in the center.
00:42:12.000People do like President Trump's vision, even if he hasn't delivered on all of it.
00:42:16.000CNN had to admit it after the State of the Union with this even fatter Josh Gadd.
00:42:22.000Among speech watchers tonight, 64% say his policies will move the U.S. in the right direction.
00:42:27.000And look at the growth President Trump made over the speech.
00:42:31.000So pre-speech, it was 54% of speech watchers said his policies will move the U.S. in the right direction.
00:42:38.000After the speech, that number goes up 10% points.
00:42:41.000So Donald Trump made some progress with people watching the speech from their pre-speech expectations to what they saw in the speech itself.
00:42:49.000And that 64% number, that's pretty much in range across all of his State of the Union addresses in his first term, last year, the joint session.
00:42:57.000That's about what we've seen is roughly two-thirds have walked away from his speeches thinking he's going to move it in the right direction.
00:43:05.000That was not what they were saying about the speech or the direction of the country or what Donald Trump was going to be able to convince people of.
00:43:10.000The 54% number prior, 64% after is massive news.
00:45:21.000What I'm talking about, or I think when people refer to Black Pillars, it's important that you look for a couple of things.
00:45:28.000The Black Pillars put President Trump, and honestly, all conservatives, in a no-winning position, where no matter what you do, it's never enough and you cannot win.
00:45:39.000You've heard the perfect is the enemy of the good.
00:45:41.000With the Black Pillars, it's anything other than perfect means you're a fraud.
00:45:46.000That's very different from legitimate criticism.
00:45:49.000The other thing is the Black Pillars don't offer any solutions.
00:45:53.000They don't offer any solutions other than it's all lost and just don't show up to vote.
00:46:00.000Because we know the alternative in reality would have been in this case, thank God it's not.
00:46:05.000Imagine living under Kamala Harris right now.
00:46:08.000We all know the alternative in reality would be a, as we know it right now, Newsom, AOC, Kamala Harris, God forbid, Whitmer.
00:46:17.000I still think they may try and trot her out from Michigan.
00:46:19.000That would be worst case scenario because she is a full-blown communist and a, I'll just say it, an evil person.
00:46:51.000If you tell me it's easier for me to believe you wanted to do all these things if any of them were happening in the way that you said they were.
00:46:59.000To that point, like there'll be people that'll DM me and be like, you see what your boy's doing?
00:47:26.000By the way, which new war are we funding?
00:47:30.000Do you mean the continued spending with the Ukrainian war that he inherited, which, by the way, has been scaled back and he's been actually going to great lengths to try and stop, including applying leverage with NATO, demanding that nations actually start footing the bill for their own defense?
00:49:09.000I was voting for prioritizing the American worker, hopefully bringing people back into the workforce because our entire economy got screwed after COVID.
00:49:18.000Okay, native-born jobs under President Trump, up over a million.
00:51:14.000But we went from expanding, expanding, expanding, expanding to cutting down.
00:51:19.000Trimming, if we continued on the path, we would still be adding hundreds of thousands of government jobs, likely in the IRS to audit you more and take more of your money.
00:51:29.000Likely Ministry of Disinformation, the Department of Disinformation to censor people more.
00:51:34.000We certainly know it wouldn't be going to ICE agents.
00:52:09.000But we saw crime going up consistently.
00:52:13.000And we could track that with the left's policies of catch and release, of cashless bail, of places, cities that said as long as it's under $999, you know, it's not really considered a crime anymore.
00:53:00.000You guys can say this is cheerleading.
00:53:01.000I'm just pointing out to you the changes and the degree of success that we've seen.
00:53:07.000It really comes down to, is it enough?
00:53:10.000And if it's not enough, do you prefer the alternative?
00:53:14.000Because that's what you're looking at.
00:53:16.000And I want you to take that into consideration.
00:53:18.000You absolutely should hold your representatives accountable.
00:53:21.000You absolutely should call balls and strikes.
00:53:24.000But you can only do that if it's based in truth.
00:53:28.000And if you just blanket tell people, I didn't vote for any of that.
00:53:32.000I want to know, what was Andrew Schultz voting for then?
00:53:35.000If not reduction in crime, if not reduction in inflation, if not increases in jobs for American workers, if not a 95% reduction in border crossings, if not the lowest homicide rate since 1900, if not cutting the federal workforce, what?
00:53:52.000Does he mean cut all spending immediately?
00:53:57.000I mean, I get some things that I would like to see, but this is kind of what I voted for, foreign policy.
00:54:04.000Retaking control of the Western Hemisphere, stepping up to China, captured Maduro, no casualties.
00:54:33.000It's a new war if, for example, we take out the uranium refining facilities in Iran that were past 60%, the same IAEA agencies, by the way, who said that there were no weapons of mass destruction or nuclear weapons in Iraq, so you can't try and use that one.
00:54:48.000So we took him out in the middle of the night and our boys were back over the ocean before anyone woke up.
00:54:53.000Maduro's own people barely even resisted.
00:56:00.000Maybe it's because I'm closer to it, but I was the first one to say there are two genders, change my mind, to ask people what is a woman, what is a man, what is a male, what is a female.
00:56:10.000And I was banned on campuses by professors, by the way, and slandered in major newspapers for that status.
00:56:20.000Now it's a matter of official government policy.
00:56:21.000I know you'll say it could be undone, executive order.
00:56:32.000DEI is out of the military, which has resulted in all five branches seeing a recruiting average of 103% of their stated goal.
00:56:41.000It's the highest recruitment that we've seen in 15 years, which maybe I'm too close to it.
00:56:46.000I was telling you guys for years, you know, stretchy maternity suits for surrogate lesbians in the Air Force, that's actually not going to boost morale.
00:56:54.000I think you want that redneck with dip in his lip who's going to be shooting a deer that weekend anyway, just swap out his hunting rifle or an M4 and the elk with the terrorists.
00:57:33.000Did you vote for him and think he wouldn't slash the federal workforce?
00:57:36.000Did you vote for him and you were disappointed when he required, you know, he has work requirements for food stamps, for EBT?
00:57:44.000Did you vote for him and you're disappointed that he said there are only two genders he's not going to allow men to compete in women's sports?
00:57:51.000Did you vote for him and you're disappointed that he ended DEI across the federal government?
00:57:56.000Do you mean disappointment in that he hasn't done enough?
00:58:00.000Or, and this is what I'm, it's hard, because when someone says, I voted for the opposite of this, then I'm going to take you at your word and say, so you wanted men competing in women's sports.
00:58:10.000You wanted the limitless number of genders.
00:58:12.000You wanted the illegal border crossings to continue, at least 95% of them.
00:58:17.000You don't want the deportations, because if you say you voted for the opposite of everything that's happened, you voted for the cost of eggs to stay up, gas to be $5 a gallon, right?
00:59:18.000It's because we're also exporting a lot of our natural gas.
00:59:21.000While there's a delay in being able to create the infrastructure, the manufacturing equipment so that we can access more of it.
00:59:28.000That's a huge component of energy, by the way, that people are ignoring.
00:59:31.000Like, we need municipal, we need federal solutions, but also residential, individual, personal.
00:59:38.000There are a lot of people who basically have natural gas that's just seeping in their yard and it could be used, it could be harnessed, and it could be far more affordable.
00:59:48.000It's hard to do because energy policies take a while to reverse, but we are a net energy exporter for one of the first times in American history.
00:59:57.000I think that happened during his first term.
00:59:58.000I'd like to see more done with natural gas.
01:00:01.000I definitely think the messaging has been bad with Epstein and the binder.
01:00:06.000And I think that Pam Bondi needs to go.
01:00:08.000There are absolutely some changes that I would like to see.
01:00:11.000But to say that I voted for the exact opposite of what I'm getting, it's kind of like saying, man, Charlie Kirk was a huge influence on me.
01:00:20.000And I really want to honor him by attacking his widow.
01:00:28.000I thought you were going to say something like have an abortion or no, no, you went with the fact.
01:01:34.000Neither one has put boots on the ground.
01:01:36.000But it was going to be a never-ending blank check under Biden and, you know, Harris, former Vice President Biden and, of course, Kamala Harris.
01:03:53.000They just literally list the things where you've seen a 180 as far as direction of this country and they just say nothing has happened and offer no alternatives.
01:04:04.000Let me ask you this, just on housing, has enough been done?
01:04:06.000No, mortgage rates down to about 60 6 sorry, that's significant.
01:04:29.000Yeah, I think it's over two percent now Josh, I think it was in the eight, maybe even closer to nine, and it's down to about six right now.
01:04:34.000So two to fifty percent down yeah, which is great yeah, it's great.
01:04:37.000But uh, then you know you say well, if it's not good enough well, there's also the fact that he's been trying and unfortunately failing because it's out of control is complete control yeah, but he's been trying that too in.
01:04:48.000Let me just let me put this, so let me put this in context, and then I want to play the little Caesars thing again because it's fun.
01:04:54.000We're going to go to Uh to Rumble Premium MUG CLUB.

01:05:33.000On immigration, the economy is the same and uh, you know, it's the same same, just another side of the same coin.
01:05:40.000As far as foreign policy, what's happened with Epstein?
01:05:43.000All right, let's just assume that very little has happened with Epstein.
01:05:49.000I'll grant you that uh, We don't, obviously don't know the whole story.
01:05:53.000I, of course, don't believe that Epstein killed himself, but I also think that people take some of the absence of data and extrapolate and make demands that could not be met.
01:07:04.000We've actually been adding native-born American jobs for the first time in four years while we're actually cutting down on H-1Bs and we're actually getting rid of foreign-born jobs, giving those to Americans who are willing to fill those spots.
01:07:15.000We've seen growth in the private sector.
01:07:16.000We've seen shrinking in the government sector.
01:07:17.000We've seen lifetime low crime rates across the country, certainly as it relates to violent crime.
01:07:23.000We have requirements for entitlement programs.
01:07:25.000We haven't completely eliminated them, but we have requirements that the Democrats vehemently fought against with SNAP.
01:07:32.000We have a movement right now where we're likely going to require voter ID, thereby preserving our elections for decades to come.
01:07:40.000And inflation is at a much more reasonable number.
01:07:43.000And the price of eggs and the price of milk.
01:08:55.000The Democrats you saw for four years under Biden, eight years under, what you think, what you need, what your community requires to thrive, what your family unit should look like, they don't care.
01:09:14.000To have a pity party or to do something about it?
01:09:18.000And is doing something about it, staying home, doing nothing, or simply going back to voting Democrat, as many of these black pillars did for their entire lives until they saw a niche market.
01:09:26.000Let's roll the little Caesars clip again because I love seeing an aggressive man deservedly knocked out.
