00:04:30.860OK, so we've got some very exciting news for you.
00:04:34.800The defense secretary and the White House had to address something that I think is very, very important.
00:04:49.000The top officials of the Pentagon, when asked explicitly if they were ruling out any kind of extraterrestrial presence, said they weren't ruling anything out.
00:04:58.440And yet at the beginning of today's briefing, albeit with her usual winning smile, Ms. Jean-Pierre seemed to rule out any extraterrestrial activity.
00:05:06.480I don't think the American people need to worry about aliens with respect to these craft, period.
00:05:11.860I don't think there's any more that needs to be said there.
00:07:27.220Does anybody want to step in and tell me what's wrong with this story?
00:07:30.200The president, through his national security advisor, today has directed an interagency team to study the broader policy implications for detection, analysis and disposition of unidentified aerial objects that pose either safety or security risks.
00:09:38.880Because yesterday, I spent a lot of time just explaining, I don't think the extraterrestrial life has come from Alpha Centauri and then invading us with weather balloons.
00:09:56.800I just don't think that they were like.
00:11:38.280Now, I don't know if anybody has checked this, but it's almost like Russia and China are now in bed together and maybe we're in a proxy war with not only Russia, but also China.
00:12:32.020So Beijing is now in the role where they are pretty much funding Russia's war in Ukraine, you know, kind of like us funding Ukrainian side of the war.
00:13:06.760So this is what I think is truly happening now in about 10 minutes in Washington, D.C., they're getting a confidential briefing about the spy balloons.
00:13:22.040China just came out yesterday and said, yeah, well, you know, there's been 10 balloons in our airspace since 2022.
00:13:30.580Washington, D.C. sends the balloons over to our place all the time.
00:13:36.340OK, don't know if that's true, but can we maybe we should, you know, maybe we should just kind of back down a little bit, seeing that we are now facing.
00:14:52.040But if you're there, you need to depart immediately.
00:14:55.820Now, part of this is because what's left are dual citizens.
00:15:00.440OK, and what we're saying is, quote, due to the unpredictable consequences of the unprovoked full scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces, Americans in Russia face harassment, unlawful detention and the possibility of terrorism.
00:15:19.660Also, Americans in Russia could be subject to mobilization and conscripted to the Russian military.
00:15:27.740So they're saying they might just grab people and just say, you, you're in the military.
00:15:32.500Or they might just send you to a gulag.
00:15:47.200Carl Sandburg, he's the guy who wrote the Lincoln, you know, autobiography or the the biography.
00:15:53.760And he said near the end of the Civil War, how improbable it was that the nation had turned to a one horse lawyer from a one horse town to save it.
00:16:06.140The president confided that he, too, thought it was strange and then observed it was a time when a man with a policy would have been fatal to the country.
00:26:15.440But and but they would probably consult with us on something like that doesn't make any sense.
00:26:19.800I mean, the only thing that if you want to stretch a little bit, the only thing that kind of potentially could make sense from the Russia standpoint is perhaps a faction of the Russian military that believes Putin is too soft.
00:26:34.500Now, this is this does this faction definitely exists.
00:26:45.100And they also were the people who are saying, you know, we are too tied economically to these other countries and we can't do the right thing in Ukraine by going after them because of these pipelines.
00:26:58.040And we're worried about Europe and how they're going to react because we have these ties to them for gas and all of this.
00:27:04.760And that was going on before this war.
00:27:06.740So, I mean, in theory, could a faction of the military or some part of their military intelligence complex thing?
00:27:16.460So there's no more ties here and we can fight this like we're supposed to.
00:27:19.960Why would maybe why wouldn't the investigate?
00:27:22.200I mean, it's it's interesting to me that all the investigators from the West, they've all been like, yeah, we should just forget about it now.
00:27:37.360No, I mean, if it was a it was a Russians and there was any evidence at all, they would have said that.
00:27:45.440If there's any evidence at all, they wouldn't say it was us.
00:27:48.920Yeah, they say I mean, they do seem to point to Russia, but they don't provide any real reason and they don't provide that sort of, you know, because there's not a real reason.
00:30:45.420They said it could also actually written on the Valentine's Day card I got for my wife.
00:30:49.960Well, that's weird, because the one I picked out said, you're lucky that I even put up with you, which is, you know, still the same phrase they wanted you to know.
00:30:58.620If you hear any of those, you might be in trouble.
00:49:04.740Um, and we had to load these horses onto trailers.
00:49:08.240They were all upset from the noises and the banging and, uh, you know, just emergency personnel flying up and down the road.
00:49:15.440Uh, it was, we had, we had a terrible time trying to get them loaded onto trailers and evacuated.
00:49:20.680And believe it or not, our, our local police department, specifically, uh, officer Frederick, he actually came into the horse pastures with us and helped us move the horses out, you know, because all we knew that, you know, the controlled detonation was happening at noon.
00:49:36.260And, you know, obviously there was a chance of a catastrophic failure prior to that.
00:49:40.880Um, so we were all just kind of, you know, wishing and hoping for the best and, and trying to get these animals to safety.
00:49:47.500And, and we did, and the controlled detonation didn't end up happening until I believe about four 38 on Monday.
00:49:55.080Uh, and then kind of all, all hell broke loose.
00:49:58.140So tell me, tell me now what happened after the, um, explosion.
00:50:23.720Um, some people left the animals and unfortunately, uh, some of those animals have, have died.
00:50:30.400Um, you know, there are stories of a woman with chickens.
00:50:34.580I have spoken with her personally, anytime there's any kind of animal death, of course, because I'm so close, I, I do a little more digging.
00:50:41.080And I've actually personally spoken to these people who have had herds of chickens die, who've had domestic foxes die.
00:50:48.180Um, I have a personal friend who, who's family members dog went out into the yard and never came back inside a two year old healthy dog.
00:50:57.540Um, my personal dogs, just from the two days that, that they were there and exposed to just, you know, the fire fumes and whatnot, whatever was, you know, in the air prior to the detonation.
00:51:10.200I had four dogs needing to have emergency veterinarian services because they were projectile vomiting, um, very lethargic.
00:51:18.820So, you know, I can't even imagine what it would be like for a human or an animal to be there, uh, during the controlled detonation or being there now.
00:51:30.020Um, I, I can't imagine we've had to go back a couple of times for supplies because, you know, I, I had to move an entire business in one evening as well as my own personal thing.
00:51:41.620And, um, uh, we've had to go back and going back is extremely uncomfortable.
00:51:48.140It is, you know, there's physical symptoms each and every time we go from, you know, itchy, burning, watery eyes, itchy, burning throat, um, coughing.
00:52:00.300Uh, it was a weird sensation of like your eyes pulsating and almost felt like your eyes had a heartbeat.
00:52:06.700Um, our skin was so dry, uh, that even, you know, your general moisturizers that you put on, you know, after a shower have still not, uh, resolved the problem.
00:52:17.340Um, so I can't imagine being back there now.
00:52:20.180Uh, our plan is to most likely not go back ever.
00:52:24.220Um, so we're just trying to fund all these things and trying to, to, to just figure out where life has to go from here.
00:52:31.620So what is it like on the ground today?
00:52:34.720Because there's, I mean, this detonation, you know, happened a week ago Sunday and the EPA is saying, oh, you can go back in.
00:52:44.040And some people are, um, but as you said, they're, you know, they're experiencing difficulties.
00:54:13.940Um, my, my understanding is that, you know, I have talked with some chemical engineers and environmental services and essentially it's not supposed to be in the water just yet.
00:54:24.460From my understanding, um, the vinyl chloride is, is, is like water and it travels through the ground and the soil like water.
00:54:32.840Um, so, you know, being, you know, a mile, 1.2 miles away, like we are other locations within a mile, it takes time for this stuff to travel to the ground.
00:54:46.180Um, I think in the last seven days, we've had one day of a little bit of rain.
00:54:51.180Um, they're saying that right now they're not surprised if it tests okay, but in four or five, six months from now, you know, these levels could be astronomic and, and that is the, that is the concern.
00:55:33.460I have other buildings that I've built on the property as well.
00:55:36.780So I have a great investment into this property that now went from, you know, X amount of dollars to maybe being able to sell it for a fraction of what it's worth.
00:55:48.020Maybe, I mean, who in their right mind would buy something, um, something on Taggart Road right now?
00:55:56.020Um, so, you know, now we're faced with the issue of, um, little to no help from anybody.
00:56:02.700Um, and we're faced with the issue of having to potentially own two large properties, you know, and, and, you know, funding and, and the ability to own two pieces of land and two buildings and two facilities and pay, you know, two taxes.
00:56:19.100I mean, it's, it's, it's going to be nearly impossible for a small business.
01:09:57.880Wow, Glenn, you are just forgetting about the bipartisan infrastructure bill that we just passed last year.
01:10:06.060And, you know, the good thing about that is that it couldn't have passed except for the wonderful, loving help of 10 Republicans who came on board to help in the Senate.
01:10:41.980I want to highlight those four names specifically because they're all up for re-election in 2024.
01:10:46.120And now would be the time to find a good primary challenger against them if you happen to think that working with Joe Biden on his new train set was not the best use of your $1.1 trillion.
01:10:59.180Maybe now would be a time to think about that because we can all complain about it later.
01:11:03.100And I'm sure we can all complain about Mitch McConnell and some of the other names on this list.
01:11:19.620And Kevin Kramer, Mitt Romney, certainly, Roger Wicker, and Deb Fisher, all in states that are red, that you can absolutely win the general election with a good conservative challenger.
01:11:34.960You can, they're not, Mitt Romney's popularity among Republicans in Utah is 41%.
01:11:39.800There's no reason you can't knock him off in a primary.
01:13:55.140And they're incentivizing this, not just here, but your tax dollars are going all over the world to convince governments to shut down their electric, coal electric plants.
01:14:08.600And they get money just for shutting them down.
01:14:12.720And they want to shut down the stuff that was created to replace the previous shutdowns, which is natural gas.
01:14:26.620I know that sounds horrible and harsh, but there is no other way to explain it.
01:14:33.000Now, I'm not saying they cause the train derailment by any stretch of the imagination, but where is the government with—you know, if I have good buddies in the train industry and I'm the president of the United States, when they come, this is what they did.
01:14:51.740They offered $25,000 to help move the town.
01:15:54.580Standing up for what you believe in is really challenging, but there are basic things that you can do, like buying from companies that believe what you and I believe.
01:16:11.180Like when it comes to your mobile service, you know the big dogs in mobile service, they're all providing funding for Verizon, Planned Parenthood, and all of these crazy things that are destroying our country.
01:16:26.960America's only Christian conservative wireless provider is Patriot Mobile.
01:18:32.640Proposing legislation to prohibit state and local governments from including any environmental, social, or governance considerations in any investment.
01:18:41.460The comprehensive anti-ESG legislation previewed Monday at an event in Naples.
01:18:47.020The plans build off the previous actions that the governor has taken and would prohibit the use of ESG in all investment decisions at the state and local level.
01:18:56.620Ban state and local entities from any consideration of ESG when in the contracting process and block state and local governments from weighing ESG when using municipal bonds.
01:19:07.960Okay, so it's government related, which is, you know, I think the limits of his power there probably anyway.
01:19:14.580And it seems to address the ES and G here, not just the E, which has been kind of a problem.
01:19:20.720He said by applying arbitrary ESG financial metrics that serve no one except the companies that created them, elites are circumventing the ballot box to implement a radical ideological agenda.
01:19:33.820Through this legislation, we will protect the investments of Floridians and the ability of Floridians to participate in the economy.
01:19:45.360This is, I think this is as far as you can go.
01:19:48.580He has gone every possible way he could go.
01:19:53.160And you see his, with his stature in this race right now, which is 1A, 1B, you know, with Donald Trump really seemingly in the Republican race, it's that he's to that point now where he just wrestles these headlines.
01:20:07.480Like, even though we've talked to a bunch of people around the country who've tried to do things, some of them been really impressive, but like DeSantis doesn't.
01:20:16.280Like he is able, it was just like with the immigrants being sent to Martha's Vineyard, like other states were already doing stuff like that.
01:20:23.400He does it and it just wrestles the entire issue.
01:20:26.260I mean, it just seems like he is, you know, this is his year.
01:20:31.620If he's going to have a year to win this president, to win the nomination, this definitely seems like it.
01:20:36.280So did you hear that the premier of Quebec, François Legault, he has now said that the mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, has got to stop busing people to Montreal.
