00:00:00.000Whenever you find yourself off the rails, whenever you find that, you know, your sports team's not winning, if you're doing something in your home life, you can always go back to the basics.
00:00:09.740Like, what are the elemental things that either you promised?
00:00:43.800They didn't solve these problems, and I see them coming back to haunt us.
00:00:46.800And if somebody else did it, it would be bad.
00:00:49.420But luckily, it's going to be Donald Trump doing it, so it's going to be a good thing.
00:00:53.060If we have a Hanna virus lockdown, you know, I've already seen Glenn Beck start pivoting this way.
00:00:57.700The other day I was like, how do people excuse some of the things that I've seen Donald Trump say?
00:01:01.300I'm not against Trump instinctively, but when he says things that are dumb, like I don't care about your financial situation, I only care about whether Iran has a nuke.
00:01:08.760I'm like, well, I mean, just from a position of handing our political enemies the jackpot, that's the lottery ticket.
00:01:16.160Who was it? Daniel Bongino used to always say that these that politics is all about soundbites and snapshots.
00:01:22.740You want to give somebody the soundbite that says, I don't care about your financial situation.
00:01:26.460there is nothing more tone deaf to a regular american person who goes forget about buying a
00:01:32.120house because that's not an option for most people under 30 right now they drive up to the gas station
00:01:36.700and it was 220 here in austin to fill up like my minivan or my wife's minivan and now it's 368
00:01:43.080you've got to be triumphant in your first year to be able to get a strong enough run up into the
00:01:47.280second so you can get a second half otherwise you get mercy ruled and you basically lose and so he's
00:01:51.240running into that what happened six months in was obvious to me that the uh the most dangerous thing
00:01:56.060I mean, they needed to have massive deportations. Those numbers were not happening.
00:01:59.920And I think there were a lot of logistical concerns with that, but they didn't mobilize everything.
00:02:04.440You know, they didn't move heaven and earth to get people out of here. And that would have had to been done.
00:02:07.640And then the second most dangerous thing was how do you deweaponize government?
00:02:10.520He never took control of the intelligence agencies. There are 17 agencies and about 80 percent of the personnel that work in those intelligence agencies have very different ideas about what the country is supposed to do.
00:02:20.880And they're not interested in whether or not an elected official wants to change their mind.
00:02:24.240So Tulsi Gabbard has been wrangling quietly to try to get these organizations under control.
00:02:30.640Well, she's already given Trump all the proof of Crossfire Hurricane and the treason, and then he has Todd Blanchett in there that blocks it all.
00:05:01.420That Trump is looking at a wide range of civil emergencies to declare for the midterms coming up in six months and for the economy.
00:05:11.940Now, we don't know specifically what those are yet, but Peter Tickton, who's one of Trump's advisors on this and has been calling for the election civil emergency, joins us here in about 52 minutes from now.
00:05:22.060But I wanted to get Kyle Serafin on, top FBI whistleblower, batting average close to 1,000, to get his take just in general on where the country is, where the bureaucracy is, and Sebastian Gorka coming out and basically saying Tucker Carlson and other people are being looked at as potentially terrorists.
00:05:45.200And then they say, oh, they're calling for violence, which is not true.
00:07:34.800That was the number three priority when he ran.
00:07:36.640Do you guys think that November is going to be okay?
00:07:39.100Just because I feel like I'm going to be right,
00:07:41.260And I'm going to be vindicated in this thing that I'm saying and the fact that I can go back to the promises that were made by the president and then find out, like, well, you didn't keep them.
00:07:48.180So why would you expect to keep power in the House and the Senate?
00:07:50.460Just because I'm going to be right about that, it doesn't mean that I'm psyched.
00:07:54.400It means that we're all losing nothing worse than being right and also losing again.
00:08:00.580the the analogy uh as i think you guys said his name is peter peter boyle great actor in the x
00:08:07.160files standing on top of what ends up being a dead body and they're like why are you smiling
00:08:13.100because he's uncovered the dead body he was looking for he was a psychic and he's like i'm
00:08:18.000not smiling i'm wincing i almost named today's show i'm not smiling i'm wincing i'm not thrilled
00:08:22.860about this. It's bad. It's all bad. My plan will cut energy prices in half or more than that
00:08:30.700within 12 months of taking office. It will be an economic revival of our country like no one has
00:08:40.920ever seen before. Energy was what caused our problem initially. Energy is going to bring us
00:08:48.460back that means we're going down and getting gasoline below two dollars a gallon bring down
00:08:55.920the price of everything from electricity rates to groceries airfares and housing costs
00:09:01.560yeah that would make sense if you brought down the price of transportation and fuel then everything
00:09:08.760would get cheaper and so what did we get instead we got data centers we got um destruction and and
00:09:15.600and bombing in the Middle East so that we could have higher gas prices.0.98
00:09:19.760Yeah, I mean, he did get it down, and he's right.0.96
00:09:21.940In 12 months, they got the prices to a good spot,
00:11:08.380we're going to need like another billion dollars
00:11:10.380on the FBI. And he was like, oh yeah, that's what I hope
00:11:12.340I was hoping you would rebuild bigger than ever before, bigger and more beautiful, because that's what he cares about.
00:11:17.660What extent are American financial situations motivating you to make a deal?
00:11:22.580Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon.
00:11:28.740I don't think about American financial situation. I don't think about anybody.
00:11:33.780I think about one thing. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all.0.90
00:11:38.780What was that? Do you care about Americans' financial situations? No, not even a little bit.
00:11:44.380The only thing we care about is the thing that I told Bibi, not Netanyahu, I care about, or at least Bibi Netanyahu said that I told him that I cared about, which is that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon.
00:11:53.080So when it comes to affordability, just remember, just because things are expensive doesn't mean that in your heart of hearts you're not psyched.
00:12:47.080Also, thanks to InfoWars fans or InfoWars fan who's a handle over on X that cut that from my show the other day.
00:12:53.960That was a nice little cut, and it's a compelling argument of why you need to go back to basics when things feel like they're spinning out of control.
00:13:01.500and if you got a mess in the middle east i actually heard a clip the this is a something
00:13:06.480trump said at the summit in china he said it's the only thing that anyone's talking about it's
00:13:11.380like i don't know anybody that's talking about the summit in china i mean it's happening but
00:13:15.640it's certainly not dominating the conversation because regular americans don't know about that
00:13:19.380regular americans know that when they pull up to fill up with gas it's expensive that when they go
00:13:25.260and they try to buy bacon at the grocery store it's still eight dollars more for the same pack
00:13:30.740that they used to buy than when you know joe biden was in if you go back and set the clock back to
00:13:35.880the beginning when joe biden came in like we had a huge spike in prices across this country and it
00:13:40.260was for it was for food it was for energy costs it was for housing it was for all the things that
00:13:45.600people have to do just to survive rent and everything else and then like that didn't go
00:13:49.600down and that was kind of what he claimed he said i'm gonna fix the energy cost and it's gonna bring
00:13:53.300everything else down it was a huge thing alex i don't know if you remember this because i got
00:13:56.660frustrated with a Benny Johnson bit Benny Johnson was running around in November of last year saying
00:14:02.560that they're going to make housing affordable for young people you remember that I mean that was
00:14:05.960like a huge push to the young people like we're going to bring back the American dream where is
00:14:10.440that gone because two days ago Donald Trump says I don't even care at all about your financial
00:14:14.400situations I'm only interested in the most important thing now I think in fairness that
00:14:18.700was out of context at least a little bit he was talking about in terms of the Iran you know
00:14:23.280conflict what's most important to him and he said i don't worry about anything else but what an
00:14:28.060awful soundbite to give your opponents i mean just gave the most callous and and well i mean let me
00:14:34.060clarify i mean i thought about that when i saw the clip and saw the full thing but he's saying0.51
00:14:38.600iran comes first well that's directly killing the economy and all based on israeli lies
00:14:43.520so i think it's fair to play the clip you know that way because he's saying i care about this
00:14:47.560above the economy that's what he said and and again people are going to hear that and go oh
00:14:52.220got it um so whenever you find yourself off the rails whenever you find that you're you know your
00:14:57.920sports team's not winning if you're you're doing something in in your your your home life you can
00:15:03.320always go back to the basics like what are the elemental things that either you promised how are
00:15:08.080you being judged and graded donald trump gave us this rubric and i've done it probably i've probably
00:15:13.860done it every single day for the last three four months i went back to the agenda 47 which was the
00:15:20.200list of 20 promises that his campaign ran it was the republican platform for 2024 so it was the
00:15:27.700thing that america voted on and said yeah you're the guy we like these 20 things and he's basically
00:15:33.620gone against almost all of them minus sealing the border the border is is good but the border is good
00:15:39.600in an executive way it shut down such that we're not getting people in but the minute anybody else
00:15:45.180gets into power and it's not donald trump and they have different priorities they'll just open
00:15:48.080back up again because we haven't fixed the problem so then what do you what do you do with
00:15:52.660that what do you do when you've basically made 20 promises and you're not keeping those 20 promises
00:15:57.340he could go back to them and say hey this is what's really important we could look at affordability
00:16:02.300what do they call it like kitchen table issues whenever they do the state of the union all that
00:16:05.700bit or you could just go off the rails and tell people i'm gonna you know i'm never gonna be able
00:16:10.400to run again he's historically unlike the same people that he was touting just a minute ago on
00:16:15.140cnn saying that he has a hundred percent support it's it's disastrous because americans are he's
00:16:21.580underwater on almost every poll and then the last thing you're going to do is you're going to say
00:16:24.820popular voices like nick fuentes who you don't have to agree with but like he's entertaining i
00:16:29.540think nick is very interesting what they're doing is they're they literally blame myself
00:16:35.100candace owens tucker right a few other people for trump failure and they're saying we're going to
00:16:40.660lose in the midterms but they say we're inconsequential and have no audience that are a
00:16:44.360joke no it's Trump going against his promises and taking the economy that's why it's unpopular
00:16:50.160they need to take responsibility it's like Netanyahu goes I don't know why we're losing the
00:16:53.440propaganda war everybody's turned against us you know worldwide we're the most unpopular country
00:16:56.880in the world I guess it's social media no it's your actions it's look in the mirror actions take
00:17:00.980responsibility well it's it's that that thing they always attribute it to like Einstein's
00:17:05.540definition of insanity you know it's it's doing the same thing over and over again and expecting
00:17:09.620a different result um the israeli push to change the messaging campaign yes part of it is uh what
00:17:17.160they're doing and then the second is the way that they're telling people it's like if you don't
00:17:20.740agree with us then you're bad you're evil you're wrong you're immoral you know you can't be allowed
00:17:25.000in public society or polite society and it's it's the exact opposite if you taboo something
00:17:31.080especially to americans we are such a contrarian culture if you taboo something that's what i'm0.62
00:17:37.540saying when i watch the world jewish conference and all these people they're they're doing exactly
00:17:43.020what i would do if i wanted to turn everybody against me 100 i had this conversation with a
00:17:47.980reporter last night and we were discussing this issue specifically without like any specifics of
00:17:53.280it you can look and say if you were going to do the worst thing possible and draw the most attention
00:17:57.740you would keep doing what you're doing you demonize people that said something otherwise
00:18:01.060my example was this because alex imagine this imagine if israel actually wanted to not have
00:18:05.960the problems in PR that they currently have. I look at a group like the Mormons. Okay. The
00:18:11.280Mormons, nobody's psyched when the Mormons knock on your door. If you're not Mormon and they knock0.96
00:18:15.200on your door, you're like, Oh God, there's like two guys in white shirts with a little name tag0.58
00:18:18.660and a black tie. And they've got bicycles and they're outside my door. And I want to be doing
00:18:22.600anything except talking to them. You open the door up, you talk to them. They're super nice
00:18:26.260people. They made an entire musical lampooning their religion, like their most sincerely held
00:18:31.460beliefs. And it was called the book of Mormon. It was a musical and it was in New York and it
00:18:35.460was a bunch of libs that were making fun of these people and got the mormons more support than ever
00:18:39.300what did they do though they didn't say like how dare you you can't criticize us this is uh like
00:18:44.680you know that is a hate speech you guys are doing awful evil things no they took out a full page ad
00:18:50.280in the book of mormon playbook for the musical and said hey thanks so much for watching this
00:18:55.420comedy about us if you'd like to learn more about the book of mormon why don't you reach out at our
00:18:58.980websites and we'd love to talk to you they took it magnanimously with humility with a little bit
00:19:04.340a comedy well that's another thing i see when democrat and republican politicians particularly
00:19:09.780democrats get made fun of they want to ban the ai they want to ban an obvious comedy they call
00:19:14.080something that's totally fake obviously fake to a five-year-old criminal hillary had a guy put in
00:19:18.720jail for that it backfires when i get made fun of i love it not only do i just get it's funny
00:19:23.260even if it's mean like when somebody makes fun of you you get mad about it it makes it 10 times
00:19:27.200worse anybody knows that it's the simplest thing like there are all kinds of crazy alex jones
00:19:33.680remixes and memes and songs and half the time when i see them i want to send them to you because i
00:19:38.080know you'll laugh because all it does is it says you're worth discussing the things you say are
00:19:43.520interesting they stick with people you know that they have some sort of impact and for people to
00:19:48.500get mad about it the things that are really gross are the lies i mean i see those i've got a you
00:19:52.860know we've got jamie raskin out there right now talking about it's unfair that the trump
00:19:57.400administration is corruptly paying off people that the last administration you know maligned
00:20:02.100and when you see that stuff and they start saying objectively false things about you
00:20:06.760i still don't think they should be banned like i don't think that i'm i'm currently a party to a
00:20:11.700lawsuit where somebody is suing me over something i said and people say false things about me all
00:20:15.780the time i know they say false things about you i read them i know them to be false and i just go
00:20:20.420why would we ban them all i would do is call more attention to this especially when you're
00:20:25.140a public figure so shifting gears into this just in general i'm looking at a bunch of topics here
00:20:29.000i saw your prediction i think it's very safe to say i think they lose the house and senate
00:20:34.880currently but then trump's talking about declaring an actual emergency to stop mail-in ballots
00:20:39.560and the rest of it i i think the democrats are still going to run their play of dead people
00:20:44.160and stuff and i think it'll put it all into question even more and look like he's manipulating
00:20:48.080the election even though i've looked talked to lawyers i've studied it some of the emergencies
00:20:51.560he's talking about declaring i think are constitutional but at the same time the optics
00:20:55.280of it but now he's talking about an economic emergency what do you think of that talk
00:20:59.300I think that it missed defeat, does it not?
00:21:01.860I mean, the whole point, like one of his 20 core promises, it was a number 19 of the 20,
00:21:07.140was that they were going to make elections secure.
00:21:09.200That was a priority for the RNC, which means the people who ran for office under that banner,
00:21:14.040under the GOP, they said they were going to do this.
00:21:16.660And they just are basically, if you have to do it through executive order,
00:21:18.780you're admitting that you don't actually have power to do the things you said you would do.
00:21:50.460I'm still registered in California 17 years later.
00:21:54.420And I can't get my name off the voter rolls.
00:21:56.940They didn't fix these things. These are done state to state. And the states don't want to fix them because they love having the opportunity. I get an email every single time that there's a an election in California, despite having sent emails in, setting letters in. I try to go to their website to unenroll.
00:22:12.020You can sign up from your cell phone if you're a homeless person and you give them the street corners where you live at or you like sleep on the dirt on the ground.
00:22:20.320You can get a ballot. But if you tell them the same way, hey, I haven't lived there in 17 years and I'm supposed to drop off the rolls after three presidential cycles that I haven't voted.
00:22:30.080I'm still on the rolls there. So they haven't fixed the problem.
00:22:32.680And if you have to go to emergency executive orders and potentially like semi martial law type declarations, you've basically admitted that I'm unable to do the thing, which is legislate the solution.
00:22:44.920Article one is supposed to be the ones that fix some of these problems, including stuff like the border.
00:23:54.700What happened six months in was obvious to me that the the most dangerous thing, I mean, they needed to have massive deportations.
00:24:00.860Those numbers were not happening. And I think there were a lot of logistical concerns with that.
00:24:04.980But they didn't mobilize everything. You know, they didn't move heaven and earth to get people out of here.
00:24:08.980And that would have had to been done. And then the second most dangerous thing was how do you de-weaponize government?
00:24:13.120He never took control of the intelligence agencies.
00:24:15.420There are 17 agencies and about 80 percent of the personnel that work in those intelligence agencies have very different ideas about what the country is supposed to do.
00:24:23.440And they're not interested in whether or not an elected official wants to change their mind.
00:24:27.200So Tulsi Gabbard has been wrangling quietly, you know, to try to get these these organizations under control.
00:24:33.240He's already given Trump all the proof of Crossfire Hurricane and the treason.
00:24:37.300And then he has Todd Blanchett in there that blocks it all.
00:24:46.500And I think this is something that is lost on most Americans.
00:24:48.660They go, oh, Obama was a traitor or Brennan did this or Clapper did this.
00:24:53.000And they have all these ideas. At the end of the day, those things they did, although they may have been unethical and they may have been immoral, they were not against the law.
00:25:01.420They were within the purview of those positions. So the answer is not we need to get those positions and wield that power.
00:25:06.980The answer is you need to strip these agencies from the capabilities that they have.
00:25:10.860You just said the key. You just said the key. Let's come back and talk about that.
00:25:14.480The left's all mad that Trump's using executive orders now that are copies of others.
00:25:17.580They were all for executive power when they thought they controlled it. Exactly.
00:25:21.100The answer is to strip the power so no one can do it.
00:25:24.220Instead, Trump started figuring out a year ago, oh, I'm not going to strip it.
00:29:31.800yeah he's uh cartoonish is a good term i used to go on his program pretty regularly he would
00:29:39.660text me out and he was super nice about it you know that's the funny thing hello kyle would you
00:29:43.640like to come on he's got that voice it'd be like and now we have a very great patriot indeed and
00:29:49.480a whistleblower himself this is kyle surf and uh you know friend of the show and friend of
00:29:54.300as long as you are saying the things that they like then you're on their team and and this is
00:29:59.980my biggest gripe with the trump administration uh the first thing i ever did become a cliquish
00:30:04.520cult yeah you get accused of being culty when if people don't agree with you then they can no longer
00:30:11.160then they're no longer the good thing that you used to say about them he wrote something to me
00:30:15.160on on uh on social media the other day he said he said you're so disappointing that uh i thought you
00:30:19.580were a patriot it's like look asshole uh i'm from here i was born here i served in this military who0.77
00:30:25.500the hell are you? Like, just to be clear, what are we talking about? I was 27 years old, making0.72
00:30:31.240six figures, working for a movie studio and living like a dream life for a lot of people. And I was
00:30:36.340like, I'm not really serving anybody. I'm not really adding any value to this country. What
00:30:40.660is my purpose? I'm going to go enlist and be an E3 and make $18,000 a year and live in barracks
00:30:46.420with like retarded 19 year old children. And I did, and I'm glad I did it. Like it made me a1.00
00:30:51.780better man but for someone to tell me whether i am or am not a patriot when all you get is fired
00:31:01.080sued attacked me too to tell the truth that he's sycophantically in fact in the dictionary i'm
00:31:07.260gonna mean him but i wouldn't be surprised down the road in the dictionary or the encyclopedia
00:31:11.360with the definition of a sycophant it's a picture of him because he's totally ingratiates himself
00:31:16.580Oh, take the shots. Lockdowns are good. Oh, censor everyone until it was Trump.
00:31:22.680And it's just like he's a blow. I can see this coming, Alex.
00:31:25.960I can. And so here. OK, so this is a good pivot towards where we're with the covid whistleblower from the CIA, which I reached out to you about earlier.
00:31:31.960But this is a great pivot. They didn't solve these problems.
00:31:34.660And I see them coming back to haunt us. And if somebody else did it, it would be bad.
00:31:38.800But luckily, it's going to be Donald Trump doing it. So it's going to be a good thing.
00:31:42.520If we have a Hanna virus lockdown, you know, I've already seen Glenn Beck start pivoting this way.
00:31:47.360The other day I was like, how do people excuse some of the things that I've seen Donald Trump say?
00:31:50.880I'm not against Trump instinctively, but when he says things that are dumb, like I don't care about your financial situation, I only care about whether Iran has a nuke.
00:31:58.340I'm like, well, I mean, just from a position of handing our political enemies the jackpot, that's the lottery ticket.
00:32:04.840Who was it? Daniel Bongino used to always say that these that politics is all about soundbites and snapshots.
00:32:12.520You want to give somebody the sound pipe that says, I don't care about your financial situation.
00:32:16.460There is nothing more tone deaf to a regular American person who goes.
00:32:20.900Forget about buying a house because that's not an option for most people under 30 right now.
00:32:24.640They drive up to the gas station and it was 220 here in Austin to fill up like my minivan or my wife's minivan.
00:33:06.180So I'm in a very blessed situation where financially my needs are met and I'm not in danger of my children going hungry or anything like that.
00:33:13.600So I'm very blessed knowing that I also am a regular person.
00:33:17.060I just went and ran out in my neighborhood and I'm jogging by regular people who are driving to work and doing lawns.
00:33:22.040And, you know, my neighbors do regular jobs.
00:33:24.040And I used to be a regular guy five seconds ago, and I'm slightly not a regular guy, even though I still mow my own lawn.
00:33:29.360OK, there is a an important there is an important thing that is lost when you find people that the entire administration is full of media types.
00:33:39.020When you've got 46 year old non-parents running the FBI who fly around in a private jet and think that that's OK, who don't understand that they're not normal and they're multimillionaires, not because they've done anything great or they have any skill.
00:33:52.240they're in a bubble they're in a bubble but even worse is that's it when you take people that
00:33:56.040didn't have money and power and give it to them historically they're even worse like 99% of people
00:33:59.960find out what kind of person they are yeah there's nothing like what do they always say if you want
00:34:03.340to find out someone's character give them some power it's not people who are broke that are down
00:34:07.640and out what are they going to lose it's the people that have everything to lose and this is
00:34:11.180the thing that i always this is where i think america feels like they may have miscalculated
00:34:14.740and it really hurts we put a guy in the office the first time around with donald trump where
00:34:19.800people were like this guy has f you money you know they put people in this administration that
00:34:25.080theoretically have f you money and everybody who has f you money you're like okay the only thing
00:34:31.380that's valuable about having f you money is being able to say f you when someone comes to you and
00:34:35.900leans on you and we believe he was going to go fully to bat and he did pretty much the first
00:34:39.480ad man and then i guess this time just decided to sell out to the system but but shifting gears
00:34:43.980back into major issues because i want to hit the cia that's where you find out though alex when
00:34:47.160they don't say f you and you thought they would that's when people start feeling betrayed because
00:34:51.340america's they wanted to outsource it to someone that had the ability to do the thing that they
00:34:55.280can't and that's not what's happening well let's be clear let's be clear let's be clear
00:34:58.920it's on record historically that marie antoinette at the french revolution when they came and said
00:35:03.660everybody's starving released the emergency grain the truth was she said uh we don't have any because
00:35:08.900it was true and that's historians the british historians got that but they went to get her
00:35:12.840stormed and killed and her head cut off and said she said let them eat cake so she didn't say let
00:35:16.900them eat cake but trump's statement about i don't care about the average american's financial
00:35:20.340situation is a literal let them eat cake statement and i'm just saying that is cuckoo that he would
00:35:25.760even say that and remember a month ago i don't care about medicare or medicaid we're a war
00:35:29.800economy we're a war country now what the hell right and and guess what the uh i think it was
00:35:35.680the numbers eight or the number nine thing that he promised well we were going to have no new wars
00:35:40.000he was going to be the president of peace he literally said in in speeches i am peace you
00:35:45.580You know, we're going to end all the wars.
00:35:47.180He's still out there bragging about ending wars, including ones that he started that
00:35:50.280are not over yet, which is even bizarre.
00:35:51.840So all of that feels like you're out of touch.
00:36:15.580I think a lot of people are pissed off. And I think a lot of people feel like they were betrayed because they thought they were voting their way out of something. They thought that they outsourced like the nature of the revolution. I saw your your your intro kind of bumper video, which is really neat, by the way, the running through the 1984 bit.
00:36:30.520And if people have a short memory, I will refresh them. Guys like Vivek Ramaswamy were running around the country saying that we are having the spirit of 1776 in in 2024, that that there was a revolutionary attitude.
00:36:45.960So opted my what I really stand for. That's right. But here's here's the big part of that, Alex.
00:36:51.140The crazy bit about all of that was I think that there was a strong sentiment that if you didn't get Donald Trump as a bleed off valve to the tension,
00:36:58.820this country felt that you were going to see actual, legitimate, real violence, not like like January 6th,
00:37:04.840where like some people were pissed off with a flagpole, but like actual people who have training,
00:37:09.960who have experience, that have time and small unit tactics and unit maneuvers,
00:37:13.640that they were going to legitimately move it forward in a violent way.
00:37:17.960Let's pull back some of the fraud and let them have Trump to pacify them.
00:37:22.240That's it. Yeah, that was the bleed off valve.
00:37:24.380And so people thought they voted their way out of it.
00:37:26.280They thought that they were getting the revolution via election.
00:37:30.420And so we were going to get and here's the deal.
00:37:32.720Day one, he didn't even finish the parade for the inauguration
00:37:36.440and he's already signing executive orders and people are going like, oh, yeah, I love this.
00:37:40.700I made this reflection that I had on my podcast this morning, and I don't know that this will land with you, too.
00:37:46.580But in 1997, Vince Flynn was an author.
00:37:49.780He wrote fiction and he wrote a book called Term Limits.
00:37:51.960Are you familiar with that one at all?
00:37:53.960And the story of Term Limits, just for people who are not, is that in 1997, there were this book comes out and the some military special operators.
00:38:03.920This is pre-global war on terror, pre a lot of the kind of operator culture that we have today.
00:40:00.660you wretched knave here he is you're you're low t here he is i had sadly a putative conservative
00:40:09.240journalist today from the daily caller asked me an asinine question he said how is the operation0.67
00:40:15.560against iran not another forever war the idea i mean you just have to be either low t or you have
00:40:24.400mentally challenged to compare decades of forever wars with thousands of american casualties
00:40:32.700to the pinpoint accuracy of what we're doing in operation of epic fury with no boots on the ground
00:40:39.660i was spooning with cash patel that's a joke cash you don't need to sue me but if you want to go0.77
00:40:46.060ahead sorry i'm cutting in on your luxury so many good points i just go ahead carl i'm gonna shut up
00:40:51.600No, this is like I've told you, this is what makes me happy is being able to lure you into these funny little rants because they're so funny.
00:40:59.720It's like what Americans are going like, yeah, that's how I feel.
00:41:13.980It's frustrating because, again, we had this huge opportunity.
00:41:16.640We had an opportunity to do something important.
00:41:19.320And and instead, what we saw is that this administration came in and just wanted to finish like they wanted to take their do their version of what the other ones did.
00:41:26.480Yeah, they remember that everybody didn't come.
00:41:29.080Look at this. Trump didn't come to get his in the first administration.
00:41:33.400It's true. This time he just said, I'm joining the dark side.
00:41:35.760In fact, I'm going to be the dark side. I suppose so.
00:41:39.060This is the ring of power is the analogy I always use.
00:41:41.320The other thing is this. OK, so term limits was like part one of the argument.
00:41:44.940Ninety seven Vince Flynn. So there was a moment in time.
00:41:47.480By the way, our national debt was less than $10 trillion at that point, and they were talking about how in a couple years it might be at $10 trillion.
00:41:54.220Now we're coming up on $40, so that's pretty amazing.
00:41:57.120It's now bigger than the GDP debt service.
00:42:00.020Right, and we've quadrupled it in my lifetime, and I'm not that old.
