[00:00.000 --> 00:04.880]  Hey it's Ben Ferguson and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute and I want
[00:04.880 --> 00:11.760]  you to hear about Alejandra. She lives in a remote community with very few resources and little to
[00:11.760 --> 00:18.480]  no health care. So when Alejandra gets sick her parents have no real options, no doctors
[00:18.480 --> 00:25.840]  in their community, and no money for real medical care. By the third day her body was shutting down
[00:25.840 --> 00:33.120]  she woke up and just long enough to tell her mom I can't take the pain anymore I can't keep going.
[00:33.680 --> 00:40.320]  Her parents drove hours to find a doctor who tried everything but she needed a private hospital
[00:40.320 --> 00:46.880]  and that was impossible for her family to afford and that is when Compassion International stepped
[00:46.880 --> 00:54.960]  in. Now through compassion Alejandra was treated and against all odds she survived. She lived because
[00:54.960 --> 01:01.760]  someone just like you took action. Right now unfortunately there are children just like Alejandra
[01:01.760 --> 01:08.320]  who won't survive unless someone like you steps in. Compassion International partners with local
[01:08.320 --> 01:15.360]  churches providing children with the support that they need critical medical care plus food
[01:15.360 --> 01:23.680]  education and the hope of the gospel all in Jesus name. So help a child just like Alejandra today.

[02:28.800 --> 02:37.440]  In a world of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight show.
[02:43.520 --> 02:50.320]  As the clock strikes 13 it's Monday the 2nd of February year of our lord 2026. Well we had some
[02:50.320 --> 02:55.680]  surprises over the weekend didn't we? A large dump of Epstein files of course it's still only
[02:55.680 --> 03:02.480]  about 50 percent according even to the government where we learn more about our soulless elites who
[03:02.480 --> 03:07.760]  sold their souls a long time ago. Isn't it interesting how Trump was the guy who was going
[03:07.760 --> 03:14.400]  to protect us from the pedophile elites it turns out he's protecting them instead. Maybe there is
[03:14.400 --> 03:19.680]  something we could learn from that about globalism and other things like that and of course his pick
[03:19.680 --> 03:25.280]  for federal reserve. Now we see that the fiat dollar evidently has been fixed.
[03:26.160 --> 03:30.240]  No more concerns about inflation debt is all fixed now with this new
[03:31.360 --> 03:37.360]  fed pick and we saw a shock in the price of gold and silver. We're going to talk about that today
[03:37.360 --> 03:42.240]  as well and I guess one of the most surprising things to me was that there was no war over the
[03:42.240 --> 03:49.040]  weekend. You would think it'd be even more likely with the Epstein docs I guess we could say he's
[03:49.040 --> 03:55.520]  going to wag the docs but we're also going to take a look today at how to organize resistance.
[03:56.560 --> 04:00.800]  This is a lesson in tactics from people whose goals you may despise
[04:01.600 --> 04:05.280]  but something very important nevertheless and Klonia the film.
[04:05.280 --> 04:19.520]  And with all that it does seem like Groundhog Day because it is Groundhog Day today.
[04:25.840 --> 04:26.800]  Rise and shine.
[04:26.800 --> 04:55.040]  It is Groundhog Day this keeps happening over and over again in February.
[04:57.600 --> 05:22.000]  And actually this morning he did see his or whatever did not see a shadow whichever way it works anyway
[05:22.640 --> 05:29.200]  he's predicting another six weeks of winter that wasn't a hard prediction was it and of course
[05:29.200 --> 05:34.560]  what a great movie that is who wouldn't want to have endless chances to get one day right
[05:35.280 --> 05:39.040]  just one day out of our life right that we could get everything correct.
[05:39.040 --> 05:43.680]  Well I think we can comfortably say that he got this one right this year even though his predictions
[05:43.680 --> 05:48.880]  have been pretty poor he's gotten it only right about 30 percent of the time so as a national
[05:48.960 --> 05:54.720]  organization for oceanic and atmospheric whatever NOAA whatever they stand for
[05:55.680 --> 06:01.520]  so they have a vested interest in saying that they do a better job than a groundhog
[06:02.720 --> 06:08.400]  maybe they do with all their computers slightly better but you could flip a coin sometimes and
[06:08.400 --> 06:14.800]  do a little bit better you know people started accumulating at 3 30 in the morning and he gets
[06:14.800 --> 06:22.400]  up at about 7 30 7 25 they said is the average time that he comes out so I guess you could say
[06:22.400 --> 06:28.400]  that the groundhog is smarter than many of us isn't it if he waits to to get up until the sun
[06:28.400 --> 06:34.240]  comes up so last year there were about 30 000 people there I don't know this year the that
[06:34.240 --> 06:42.000]  storm is very significant very much more like the the movie quite a bit of a storm everywhere
[06:42.000 --> 06:46.320]  the reason anyone still remembers your mic yeah your mic what are you saying
[06:46.320 --> 06:49.600]  Lance you said you you think the reason that everybody remembers this is why
[06:53.120 --> 06:57.520]  I was saying that I think the movie is the only reason one remembers yeah yeah the movie is the
[06:57.520 --> 07:01.600]  only reason anybody remembers the groundhog event right it certainly was a shot in the
[07:01.600 --> 07:08.880]  arm for them wasn't it it makes polka music at 3 30 in the morning look great doesn't it
[07:09.520 --> 07:17.600]  anyway so we have um I wonder if if uh Puxatani Phil does election predictions
[07:18.400 --> 07:23.840]  because we had some interesting stuff that happened on Saturday we had a Texas district
[07:23.840 --> 07:30.560]  that Trump had won by 17 points and this thing flipped massively in the other direction
[07:31.520 --> 07:37.760]  something like a 32 point swing since his election in 2024 and so the Democrats getting very excited
[07:37.760 --> 07:43.120]  about this and of course some things will change but not for the better if we get Democrats in
[07:43.120 --> 07:48.960]  instead of Republicans but uh Trump pleaded ignorance Sunday when asked about Texas Republican
[07:48.960 --> 07:56.000]  that he had endorsed just days ago I don't know who this guy is as they say uh success has many
[07:56.000 --> 08:05.760]  fathers but failure is an orphan right so this orphan lost pretty big to a Democrat double digits
[08:05.760 --> 08:13.440]  loss when asked about it on Sunday about the trouncing Trump says I don't know I didn't hear
[08:13.440 --> 08:18.800]  about it somebody ran it where I don't have any idea what this is well he's endorsed this candidate
[08:18.800 --> 08:25.360]  multiple times most recently on the day before the election Friday it was on Saturday and so he
[08:25.360 --> 08:31.040]  pretended that he didn't know anything about it on uh Sunday he said I'm not involved in that at all
[08:31.600 --> 08:36.560]  it's a local Texas race and the reporter said but you endorse the Republican
[08:37.280 --> 08:43.440]  Trump cut him off he says you mean I won by 17 points and this person lost things like that happen
[08:44.640 --> 08:50.480]  problem is he's the reason uh we're seeing his popularity plummet for obvious reasons
[08:51.040 --> 08:55.760]  and the reporter says doesn't it worry you and he says well you don't know whether or not it's
[08:55.760 --> 09:01.120]  transferable but I'm not on the ballot so you don't know whether or not it's transferable
[09:02.160 --> 09:08.640]  and this is the expectation games they all play and the denial games they all play you know Trump
[09:08.640 --> 09:14.480]  likes to take credit for races that he had absolutely nothing to do with and he distanced
[09:14.480 --> 09:20.480]  himself from other Saturday's results invite speculation that uh there's going to be a big
[09:20.480 --> 09:27.040]  switch going on when we get to the election in November it was the 31 and a half point swing
[09:28.160 --> 09:37.200]  in terms of the vote margin that this person won by versus what Trump did which is uh you know
[09:37.200 --> 09:42.800]  again you're comparing Trump's race to this guy's race nevertheless it was a strong Republican
[09:42.800 --> 09:51.040]  district why did you have a Democrat win by 14 and a half points in a strong Republican district
[09:51.040 --> 09:57.120]  in Texas there's something to see there since Trump took office Democrats have flipped eight
[09:57.120 --> 10:03.840]  Republican-held state legislative seats in special elections across five states Republicans have
[10:03.840 --> 10:10.000]  flipped zero Democrat seats and you know I've mentioned many times what happened in 2010
[10:10.560 --> 10:15.600]  in North Carolina you had for the first time since reconstruction a Republican legislature in
[10:15.600 --> 10:22.080]  the state of North Carolina in 2008 North Carolina had gone for Obama they didn't like what Obama was
[10:22.080 --> 10:28.720]  doing after two years and so in 2010 all of the state offices went Republican of course the
[10:28.720 --> 10:34.480]  congressional seats didn't change because those are picked in advance by the gerrymandering but
[10:34.480 --> 10:40.240]  then that did change because with a new legislature and at the state level they changed the district
[10:40.240 --> 10:47.520]  team in 2010 so then the Republicans got control of the congressional seats there so this is how
[10:47.520 --> 10:52.000]  that goes so I guess we should ask Puxitani Phil what's going to happen in November with the
[10:52.000 --> 10:58.400]  election just as likely he'll know that is he mostly the weather the definition of domestic
[10:58.480 --> 11:05.280]  terrorism a Fox News analyst pushes Trump to invoke the insurrection act against anti-ice
[11:05.840 --> 11:13.360]  radicals quote-unquote and this has now become a standard line for the women of Fox News
[11:14.080 --> 11:20.560]  the nanny state girls they want an insurrection act they want to kick off a civil war they think
[11:20.560 --> 11:28.400]  they're going to skate right above it maybe they will but this is not warranted it wasn't
[11:28.400 --> 11:32.880]  warranted with all the talk about an insurrection in January the sixth of course how soon they
[11:32.880 --> 11:39.360]  forget and they don't realize what they are setting up in terms of a precedent so you had
[11:39.360 --> 11:44.240]  Fox News political analyst Lisa Booth said it's time for Trump to invoke the insurrection act
[11:44.240 --> 11:49.920]  because the anti-ice quote-unquote radicals are violently attempting to subvert federal immigration
[11:49.920 --> 11:58.160]  law following the deaths of renee good and alex pretty so she was joined with other commentators
[11:58.160 --> 12:03.040]  there they said because these individuals these radicals are using violence to try to change
[12:03.040 --> 12:08.800]  government policy that is the definition of domestic terrorism well yes you know if you use
[12:08.800 --> 12:17.360]  a threat of force or violence or terroristic acts to alter the political landscape that's terrorism
[12:18.320 --> 12:23.680]  it seems to me that same definition could apply to ice and the trump administration that's really
[12:23.680 --> 12:29.680]  what they're doing you want to go out there with masks and start attacking people but of course that
[12:29.680 --> 12:35.440]  never applies to the government does it we're going to talk about some of the effective ways
[12:35.440 --> 12:40.640]  that they've organized against this whether or not you agree with their goal we need to always
[12:40.640 --> 12:45.280]  pay attention to the tactics you know there's as i said before the end does not justify the
[12:45.280 --> 12:51.280]  means in many cases but sometimes even if you don't agree with the end goal goal you can learn
[12:51.280 --> 12:55.120]  something about the means that people are applying to this so we're going to talk about that coming
[12:55.120 --> 13:02.320]  up so you had anita vogel also agreed with boost take and we'd had a tommy lauren pushing war as
[13:02.320 --> 13:10.720]  well you got three women all of them want war it reminds me one of my favorite musicals i guess
[13:10.800 --> 13:16.400]  i put in that category pirates of penzance the women get out there go ye heroes go and die
[13:18.320 --> 13:22.000]  he's pushing the guys on to war and it's like oh wait a minute i don't know if we want to go
[13:22.000 --> 13:27.360]  that's what this has become this is a chorus of go ye heroes go and die let's have a civil war
[13:27.920 --> 13:33.440]  that's fox news for you vogel said the protesters are fixated on helping illegal immigrants
[13:33.440 --> 13:38.800]  while displaying a lack of compassion for the families of people killed by illegal immigrants
[13:39.520 --> 13:43.120]  are you kidding me you want to talk about a lack of compassion around killing
[13:43.840 --> 13:51.040]  and you want to completely ignore ice what a pathetic parody fox has become if ever it was
[13:51.040 --> 13:57.680]  anything other than that it's just amazing it's bad or worse than cnn authoritarian women like
[13:57.680 --> 14:02.960]  this on the left the nanny staters right so we got authoritarian women on the left authoritarian
[14:02.960 --> 14:09.600]  women on the right i'm stuck in the middle with you hey it's ben ferguson and i want to be honest
[14:09.600 --> 14:14.480]  with you for a second about how an act of compassion really feels a couple of years
[14:14.480 --> 14:20.800]  ago i made the choice to partner with an amazing organization called compassion international
[14:20.800 --> 14:28.320]  why because i wanted to sponsor a child in need it was a nice idea sure but i had no idea just
[14:28.400 --> 14:35.680]  how much that simple act would change my life as well i sponsored nadia and got to watch her life
[14:35.680 --> 14:41.360]  change right in front of my eyes going from starving literally alone on the streets to
[14:41.360 --> 14:48.080]  getting the health care and education she needs to reach her god-given full potential i got to be a
[14:48.080 --> 14:54.800]  part of that change and the light of that compassion not only illuminates in her it illuminates now in
[14:54.880 --> 15:03.280]  me that is the power of compassion the light of christ shines on all of us feel it for yourself
[15:03.280 --> 15:09.920]  and change literally a child's life change the world and you also change yourself you can sponsor
[15:09.920 --> 15:20.160]  child today visit compassion.com that's compassion.com you know what it sucks to be bored but when i get on

[15:45.120 --> 15:51.840]  for more details they all want war well they're about to get it with iran i think
[15:53.680 --> 15:59.760]  the US military was working with a key middle east ally to try to get them to cooperate maybe
[15:59.760 --> 16:06.080]  that's one of the reasons why this got delayed it was interesting that iran did live ammunition
[16:06.080 --> 16:12.480]  drills close to where the US military was i think they really expected it this last weekend so
[16:13.040 --> 16:17.440]  trump is going to tamp down expectations and then do a sneak attack i'm sure
[16:17.440 --> 16:22.960]  that's the way this will happen so this isn't about nukes or about the missile program this
[16:22.960 --> 16:27.840]  is about regime change said a former senior US intelligence official who consults for arab
[16:27.840 --> 16:34.080]  governments and is an informal advisor to the trump administration remember when trump said
[16:34.080 --> 16:38.800]  he was going to be the the peace guy he's all about peace isn't he he wants the Nobel peace
[16:38.800 --> 16:45.920]  prize he's got a board of peace but i think he's really bored of peace b o r e d and i think he
[16:45.920 --> 16:52.480]  wants more wars he's been one of the most in your face uh people about many times they'll try to
[16:52.480 --> 16:58.320]  come up with a pretense that is somewhat plausible to start the wars even if they're the aggressors
[16:58.320 --> 17:04.560]  but not with trump he just does it and uh dares you to stop him like everything else he does
[17:05.120 --> 17:10.480]  drop site news is told the u.s war planners envision attacks that target nuclear ballistic
[17:10.480 --> 17:16.480]  and other military sites around iran but will also aim to decapitate the iranian government
[17:16.480 --> 17:21.040]  in particular leadership and capabilities of the islamic revolutionary guard corps
[17:21.920 --> 17:27.120]  the thinking in the trump administration according to the source is that a successful strike on iranian
[17:27.120 --> 17:34.080]  leadership would be followed by iranians returning to the streets to protest netanyahu is hoping for
[17:34.080 --> 17:39.360]  an attack said the former senior intelligence official and assuring trump that israel can help
[17:39.360 --> 17:45.360]  put in place a new government that is friendly to the west had that work out last time we did
[17:45.360 --> 17:52.400]  that in the 50s who end up with the ayatollah uh we haven't done too well with regime change
[17:52.400 --> 18:01.840]  and iran is one of the premier examples of our failure in terms of uh regime change they took
[18:01.920 --> 18:07.680]  out most of day who was elected in the ones at 52 i think and they put in the shah of iran
[18:08.240 --> 18:15.760]  who was a totalitarian bully and that's how they wound up with this radical islamic regime
[18:16.480 --> 18:22.480]  it spun back in the other direction uh but most americans don't really realize that we did that
[18:22.480 --> 18:29.840]  regime change back in the 1950s on friday iran's forum and of course the crime of the guy that we
[18:29.840 --> 18:35.520]  removed was to say that the oil belonged to iranians rather than the western oil companies
[18:35.520 --> 18:41.840]  and so he was going to take more control of it it was all about the oil like in venezuela on friday
[18:41.840 --> 18:47.200]  iran's foreign minister met with turkish leaders to push forward a possible diplomatic solution
[18:47.840 --> 18:51.600]  regional countries have been engaged in attempts to establish a format for back channel talks
[18:51.600 --> 18:57.760]  including a trilateral meeting involving iranian american and turkish leaders the problem is is
[18:57.760 --> 19:03.280]  that you've got people like lindsey graham and many people in the trump administration who lindsey is
[19:03.280 --> 19:10.800]  out there on a one-man mission to get us involved in a war on the side of the kurds he's got his
[19:10.800 --> 19:19.280]  ways kurds and ways anyway uh the lindsey graham never saw war anywhere that he didn't want to get
[19:19.280 --> 19:24.080]  involved in and so now he wants to get us involved with the attacks on the kurds and of course what
[19:24.080 --> 19:30.240]  happened with the kurds if you remember in the bible you have the persians you have the babilonians
[19:30.240 --> 19:36.160]  and you had the meads right the meads persians and the babilonians well they didn't when they
[19:36.160 --> 19:41.760]  split up the middle east after world war two british especially they didn't give the meads
[19:41.760 --> 19:48.960]  a homeland instead what they did was they basically gave the persians iran the babilonians iraq and the
[19:49.040 --> 19:55.280]  meads were left straddled in this area being attacked by both of them and so their territory
[19:55.280 --> 20:02.080]  straddles both of these nations and they're in constant conflict with people there and so
[20:03.120 --> 20:07.040]  lindsey graham sees that conflict and he wants to get american troops involved
[20:07.680 --> 20:12.480]  saudi arabia on tuesday ruled out the use of its airspace for a potential u.s attack on iran
[20:12.480 --> 20:17.600]  with a phone call with mohammed bin salman this guy's got more on his plate than he can handle
[20:17.600 --> 20:22.800]  he's really upset because he's got to shut down this line remember that thing he's going to spend
[20:22.800 --> 20:28.240]  i forget what the amount was the price tag it was unbelievable and it was this massive
[20:29.120 --> 20:33.520]  smart city out in the middle of the desert it was a boondoggle from the beginning
[20:33.520 --> 20:37.280]  we were laughing at it from the beginning and back in 2024 they scaled it back
[20:37.840 --> 20:43.440]  from hundreds of miles to one mile and now even that looks like it's going to be shut down so
[20:43.440 --> 20:49.040]  he's got other issues on his mind there but he doesn't want to get involved with the war right
[20:49.040 --> 20:54.480]  now the u.a.e also said on monday that it would not allow its airspace or territorial waters to
[20:54.480 --> 20:59.920]  be used in any military action against iran so they're having trouble getting the arabs to join
[21:00.880 --> 21:07.120]  with the americans on an israeli war hey it's ben ferguson and i want you to pause what you're

[22:44.080 --> 22:54.880]  so we're told that of course they thought it was going to unfold over the weekend but the
[22:55.520 --> 22:58.800]  the iranian people are saying this isn't going to go the way trump imagines
[22:59.600 --> 23:03.440]  carrying out a quick operation and two hours later tweeting that the operation is over
[23:04.160 --> 23:09.600]  they said from the zionist regime to countries that host american military bases all will be
[23:09.600 --> 23:15.680]  within range of our missiles and drones and they point out that they had gone out of their way
[23:16.720 --> 23:21.920]  to telegraph what they're going to do when they did retaliatory attacks as kind of a face saving
[23:22.560 --> 23:27.520]  measure ronny officials repeatedly said if the u.s attacks iran particularly if it aims to
[23:27.520 --> 23:32.320]  assassinate the country's leadership it will respond with unprecedented counterstrikes against
[23:32.320 --> 23:39.840]  u.s military facilities oil infrastructures in the region and israel and so you might wind up seeing
[23:41.120 --> 23:46.480]  a major catastrophe in terms of the oil industry and of course venezuela is not going to come
[23:46.480 --> 23:54.000]  online anytime soon since the gaza war began october 23 the iranians have mostly executed
[23:54.000 --> 23:59.120]  restraint in response to attacks that have been launched by both israel and the united states
[24:00.320 --> 24:06.720]  they've chosen to telegraph and advance attacks in order to minimize escalation before launching
[24:06.720 --> 24:11.520]  retaliatory strikes following previous israeli attacks like the assassination of hamas's
[24:11.520 --> 24:17.280]  political leader in july 2024 terran communicated through back channels to the u.s
[24:17.840 --> 24:21.360]  that it would be launching a barrage of missiles and drones at israel
[24:22.000 --> 24:30.160]  thereby avoiding large-scale casualties and escalation in fighting and so the people in iran
[24:30.160 --> 24:34.960]  some of them were saying professor at the university of terran told drop site in the past a
[24:34.960 --> 24:39.600]  number of high ranking military officials made the decision to inform the u.s when they were
[24:39.600 --> 24:45.680]  attacking u.s bases that idea was basically trying to write out the trump administration
[24:45.680 --> 24:50.320]  and not to confront him in a serious manner to respond to him but to respond in a very
[24:50.320 --> 24:56.560]  limited way so they don't start a huge war with the u.s he said that the new leadership
[24:56.560 --> 25:02.000]  of the military in iran has determined that the previous policy failed to deter u.s and israeli
[25:02.000 --> 25:08.400]  aggression so the numbers that i hear is the goal is to kill at least 500 american soldiers
[25:09.040 --> 25:14.480]  the casualties they need to have if iran is attacked again is at least 500 i think the
[25:14.480 --> 25:19.360]  iranian government the iranian military has decided to respond quite harshly this time
[25:19.360 --> 25:23.760]  because you cannot have a country when that country is threatened to be attacked militarily
[25:23.760 --> 25:28.480]  every other week the revelation that u.s has informed the leadership of regional allies that
[25:28.480 --> 25:34.080]  strikes in iran could begin immediately comes amid ongoing efforts to mediate a last-minute
[25:34.080 --> 25:41.280]  off-ramp to a war so did that work or is the strike still on too soon to tell
[25:41.840 --> 25:50.400]  but you know when we look at this i think many times about flight 800 the u.s flight that was
[25:50.400 --> 25:55.440]  shot down off the long island i believe as part of a navy drill i think it was accidental but of
[25:55.440 --> 26:02.720]  course the fbi covered that up they went around and confiscated records from people similar thing
[26:02.720 --> 26:07.600]  it already happened a couple years prior to that u.s was conducting military drills and they
[26:07.600 --> 26:15.840]  accidentally shot down an iranian civilian airliner killed over 200 people now they admitted it the
[26:15.840 --> 26:21.280]  iranians had the evidence unlike in america where if you got the evidence the fbi comes around and
[26:21.280 --> 26:26.080]  confiscates it from you and threatens you right so they had the evidence and it was pretty clear
[26:26.080 --> 26:32.400]  that was what had happened and yet they didn't attack instead they accepted monetary compensation
[26:32.400 --> 26:38.960]  for the families which is actually pretty minor it is you know they have the constant death
[26:39.520 --> 26:47.200]  the israel death to america chance that they do all the time that is largely for domestic consumption
[26:47.200 --> 26:52.560]  the sense that these limited strikes where they give advanced notice that is also for domestic
[26:52.560 --> 26:57.600]  consumption but i think that they realize they don't really want to have a full-on war however
[26:58.080 --> 27:03.040]  it pushed against the wall they have quite a few missiles as they showed in that 12-day war with
[27:03.040 --> 27:11.120]  israel they also have access to the hypersonic missiles of china and russia as well so iranians
[27:11.120 --> 27:16.320]  were sealing their windows and storing food and water as they prepared for an attack however
[27:18.320 --> 27:21.920]  we think here in the united states we don't ever have to prepare for anything
[27:22.800 --> 27:25.360]  not for war we're never going to come to our shores right
[27:27.040 --> 27:31.760]  well it's very easy for that to happen now with the complicated infrastructure that we've got look
[27:31.760 --> 27:37.360]  at how many times our infrastructure has gone down whether or not that is a cyber attack from
[27:37.360 --> 27:41.920]  somebody or whether that's just the complexity of the infrastructure that keeps getting more
[27:41.920 --> 27:47.440]  and more complex more more fragile it's hard to tell which one it is from where we all set
[27:48.240 --> 27:54.320]  but the reality is is that it is very complex it does fail all the time it's just like software
[27:54.320 --> 28:00.080]  that we have and the technological devices that we have they're getting worse and worse if you look
[28:00.080 --> 28:07.360]  at the updates as corrie doctorow called it in shitification and that really is what is happening
[28:07.360 --> 28:12.880]  technology all the time and our infrastructure as well does it need a little bit of help from some
[28:12.880 --> 28:18.480]  people who could sneak across the border and take out massive transformers for which there is no
[28:19.280 --> 28:24.320]  inventory you'd have to wait a very long time to replace some of these things we have such an
[28:24.320 --> 28:30.640]  amazingly vulnerable infrastructure it just surprises me uh how we're going around trying
[28:30.640 --> 28:34.720]  to pick a fight but of course all the western leaders are doing that right now why are they
[28:34.720 --> 28:39.520]  doing that because they already picked a fight with their own people over the immigration issues
[28:40.080 --> 28:45.520]  trying to wipe out their own domestic cultures trying to take the jobs of everyone replace
[28:45.520 --> 28:51.280]  everyone and put us in a police surveillance state using artificial intelligence and so they
[28:51.280 --> 28:54.720]  know that what they're doing and they know that when people figure that out they're going to
[28:54.720 --> 29:00.000]  start to come for them that's the other aspect of the art elect war that hugo diguerras is talking
[29:00.000 --> 29:05.120]  about not just coming after the technological elites but coming after the political elites
[29:05.760 --> 29:12.480]  that are using this technology weaponized against us so in iran as they said as night fell there was
[29:12.480 --> 29:19.840]  a tense sense of um dread that fell over people at home and abroad rumors of a imminent u.s military
[29:19.840 --> 29:25.760]  strike took hold across iran i kept waiting for it to hit i couldn't sleep until morning i was
[29:25.760 --> 29:31.040]  waking up and straining to hear any sound of explosions let's see what happens tonight said
[29:31.040 --> 29:38.480]  one guy 53 a 43 year old engineer living in tehran i mentioned this because i know there's
[29:38.480 --> 29:42.240]  going to be some people out there if they hear this are going to good i hate those iranians
[29:43.360 --> 29:47.440]  you're going to find these chickens come home to roost in america at some point in time
[29:47.440 --> 29:50.640]  just mentioning this because it's like do you really want to run the risk
[29:51.440 --> 29:57.120]  that we're going to have some kind of a war like this actually come to us i think the chances of
[29:57.120 --> 30:02.720]  that happening are really high it's eventually going to happen the whole blowback thing of you
[30:02.720 --> 30:07.200]  think these people that couldn't sleep all night because they're waiting for america to bomb them
[30:07.200 --> 30:14.160]  are going to have any positive feelings toward the u.s yeah exactly how much more hatred can
[30:14.160 --> 30:18.240]  we gin up across the world i mean even got trumps even got the canadians hating us
[30:19.760 --> 30:22.800]  he's never had any problem with that before so
[30:23.440 --> 30:28.320]  uh one person who opposes a foreign attack on iran said people seem to be losing their minds
[30:29.040 --> 30:33.520]  there's that kind of thinking in iran do they think that if the u.s strikes everything will be
[30:33.520 --> 30:39.280]  fine because the killings committed by the islamic republic people are becoming desperate they no
[30:39.280 --> 30:44.080]  longer know what is in their interest and what is against them you see even if you're living
[30:44.720 --> 30:50.720]  in a repressive regime and it is a repressive regime make no doubt about it but even if you
[30:51.520 --> 30:55.920]  live in something like that where they've killed they they admit that they've killed over 3000
[30:55.920 --> 31:02.320]  people others are saying well it's more like 6000 and almost all protesters that are there
[31:03.200 --> 31:07.200]  so when you see something like that happening a lot of people are saying well it'd be better
[31:07.200 --> 31:12.480]  if we have a war because then we get to overthrow this regime they don't understand how war is going
[31:12.480 --> 31:19.200]  to affect them according to government sources 3117 people mostly security forces were killed in
[31:19.200 --> 31:24.720]  the crackdown because it's only the security forces that count right however human rights
[31:24.720 --> 31:29.600]  groups outside of iran believe the number is much higher with some putting it at more than 6500
[31:29.600 --> 31:37.040]  people the majority of them civilians and so as many people are making their preparations sealing
[31:37.040 --> 31:44.960]  the window stocking up food they said when the bombs drop there's not going to be any distinction
[31:44.960 --> 31:49.840]  between the regime and the opposition in other words they're going to be dropping bombs on
[31:49.840 --> 31:57.120]  everybody and that's one of the things that i think is a miscalculation in terms of bombing
[31:57.760 --> 32:01.840]  countries thinking that you're going to change their mind about something it only galvanizes them
[32:02.720 --> 32:08.880]  and so when the americans start raining death and the israelis start raining death from the skies on
[32:08.880 --> 32:15.600]  these people they're going to it's going to consolidate support for the suppressive iranian
[32:15.600 --> 32:20.400]  regime no matter how bad the regime is people are going to go to it because they see it as
[32:21.440 --> 32:27.120]  a means of stopping this we've always seen this with civilian bombing campaigns but of course we
[32:27.120 --> 32:31.600]  don't make the distinction between civilians and people in the military anymore not since world war
[32:32.240 --> 32:38.960]  there are some interesting parallels between this and ice in that they aren't going to
[32:38.960 --> 32:42.640]  you know the whole thing of when the bombs fall there won't be any difference between
[32:42.640 --> 32:47.520]  the regime and the opposition when the police state comes they're going to be coming for
[32:47.520 --> 32:52.880]  the citizens as well that's right they're using the immigrants the illegal immigrants as a
[32:53.760 --> 32:59.600]  excuse and i just say to tommy lauren and this booth person and the other one i forget what her
[32:59.600 --> 33:06.880]  name was when a civil war happens you know there's not going to be your all your political tribalism
[33:06.880 --> 33:12.080]  and what you're telling people in order to get your cushy job that's all out the window hey it's
[33:12.080 --> 33:17.920]  ben ferguson and i want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of compassion really
[33:17.920 --> 33:24.000]  feels a couple of years ago i made the choice to partner with an amazing organization called
[33:24.000 --> 33:31.520]  compassion international why because i wanted to sponsor a child in need it was a nice idea sure
[33:31.520 --> 33:39.040]  but i had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well i sponsored nadia
[33:39.040 --> 33:45.040]  and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes going from starving literally alone
[33:45.040 --> 33:51.120]  on the streets to getting the health care and education she needs to reach her god-given full
[33:51.120 --> 33:57.360]  potential i got to be a part of that change and the light of that compassion not only illuminates
[33:57.360 --> 34:05.840]  in her it illuminates now in me that is the power of compassion the light of christ shines on all of
[34:05.840 --> 34:12.720]  us feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life change the world and you also

[34:59.120 --> 35:04.080]  the crackdown on protests is now filled with advice on how to survive missile attacks and bombs
[35:04.720 --> 35:09.200]  the list of precautions is long stock enough food and water for 10 days keep a first aid kit

[35:22.080 --> 35:28.320]  dozens of similar tips circulating on persian language platforms and again war is a horrible
[35:28.320 --> 35:36.880]  thing as one leftist activist is there said i've opposed the theocratic rulers since the 1979
[35:36.880 --> 35:42.400]  revolution when the ayatollah came in he said this regime has executed my closest comrades
[35:42.400 --> 35:48.800]  after the revolution and is now killing our children i have no sympathy for it but i also
[35:48.800 --> 35:58.160]  hate war war will destroy everything left for us that's exactly right i wish americans could
[35:58.160 --> 36:03.760]  understand that and think that way but of course they're having trouble getting their fellows
[36:03.840 --> 36:08.640]  citizens there in iran to understand that as well our lives and our deaths have become
[36:08.640 --> 36:16.560]  entertainment said one of them a game for others that really does sum up what's going on in
[36:16.560 --> 36:21.760]  washington doesn't it with lindsey graham and donald trump and these other warmongers
[36:21.760 --> 36:29.520]  disgust me it's a game of entertainment for war pete you know he's the guy that bothers me the
[36:29.520 --> 36:36.480]  most because he's so vocal about being a christian and wearing that on his sleeve or his tattoos
[36:37.200 --> 36:43.760]  and yet he is one of the most vocal people in terms of pushing for mass murder lethality
[36:44.560 --> 36:53.200]  and what they did in venezuela was inexcusable it was a war crime it was murder and so he says
[36:54.000 --> 36:58.240]  what a miserable people we are said one of them are rulers massacre people in the streets
[36:59.200 --> 37:06.800]  and you got the shaw jr has become the face of the opposition abroad and our enemy is a fool
[37:06.800 --> 37:16.720]  like donald trump like a common cause with this guy or woman who said this that's just like
[37:16.720 --> 37:24.240]  america isn't it and so let's talk about our common cause and what we have there's an interesting
[37:24.320 --> 37:32.480]  article on the atlantic talking about emin bundy emin bundy is all alone they said
[37:33.200 --> 37:40.560]  the anti-government militia leader can't make sense of his allies support for ice violence
[37:41.600 --> 37:48.400]  see emin bundy is emin bundy and i are really on the same page with us and we are totally
[37:48.400 --> 37:53.360]  ostracized by most conservatives out there that's what they're talking about emin bundy after the
[37:53.360 --> 37:59.600]  bundy ranch standoff of course he had the fiasco in malheur and i've i've had several interviews
[37:59.600 --> 38:04.160]  with emin bundy but it's always been difficult to get him to talk to me because he's been taken
[38:04.160 --> 38:10.640]  captive by some people who use him to get popularity and i'm talking about pete santilli in
[38:10.640 --> 38:16.480]  particular it was very difficult to go there and get interviews with emin bundy because pete santilli
[38:16.480 --> 38:22.880]  was always trying to stop that and he's somebody who i remember when we had the bundy ranch standoff
[38:22.880 --> 38:28.560]  one day we're driving in josh and i he was the guy who's running the camera and we were driving in
[38:28.560 --> 38:39.600]  and um uh he had uh roy um i can't remember roy was it roy cooper um anyway uh that's that's the
[38:39.600 --> 38:45.200]  guy in uh north carolina i'm sorry having a senior moment here but uh roy potter i think
[38:45.200 --> 38:51.040]  eventually comes roy potter was there and um he was yelling and screaming at pete santilli about
[38:51.040 --> 38:55.680]  what in the world is going on we drove past him saw them yelling and screaming later on
[38:56.400 --> 39:01.040]  roy potter came to me and he said you know what he did it was the day before we got there he said
[39:01.040 --> 39:06.480]  it was this caravan of cars and pete santilli was in the front and uh he said uh he stopped the car
[39:06.480 --> 39:10.880]  and he got out and he grabbed his camera knowing there's going to be a confrontation started
[39:10.880 --> 39:15.040]  filming but he set up the confrontation essentially that's what roy potter was saying
[39:16.000 --> 39:22.480]  and he had gone to the guy who was in charge love was his name the guy who was in charge of blm in
[39:22.480 --> 39:28.640]  nevada and this guy i used to refer to him as the ministry of love because this guy just wanted
[39:28.640 --> 39:33.040]  to have conflict and he was doing everything he could to escalate the situation as a matter of
[39:33.040 --> 39:38.480]  fact his counterpart in arizona had criticized love he said i went to one of these meetings and
[39:38.480 --> 39:43.680]  it was ridiculous what he was doing everything he did was designed to increase the conflict
[39:44.240 --> 39:51.040]  and the likelihood of a conflict this is what you see happening in minnesota as well and so
[39:51.040 --> 39:58.240]  the blm his component his counterpart rather in arizona disagreed with what he was doing and he
[39:58.240 --> 40:04.880]  had a lot of people in blm that disagreed with what love was doing and so as a matter of fact
[40:04.880 --> 40:12.400]  one of them was responsible for stopping these political persecutions not prosecutions persecutions
[40:12.480 --> 40:20.880]  they had a blm whistleblower whose information caused a complete reversal of this the judge was
[40:20.880 --> 40:25.840]  railroading people left and right sending them to jail and once this person put out said this is
[40:25.840 --> 40:32.240]  what really happened as a blm agent then the judge shut down the trial of the bundies with
[40:32.240 --> 40:38.560]  prejudice meaning they couldn't come back after them again and so there were there was the
[40:38.560 --> 40:42.400]  difference within the government you had some good people who were there and you had some people
[40:42.400 --> 40:47.600]  who were real provocateurs you had provocateurs on the other side as well like pete santelli and
[40:48.240 --> 40:53.840]  so you know there was bad blood with pete santelli and alex jones now they have made common cause
[40:53.840 --> 40:58.080]  which i think is kind of interesting now that alex has changed the two of them are buddies
[40:58.640 --> 41:05.120]  so after this standoff m and bundy went to the malheur thing and they wanted to help these
[41:05.120 --> 41:09.120]  ranchers are being railroaded up there but the ranchers didn't want help they wanted to just go
[41:09.120 --> 41:15.360]  to jail i mean it's one of the craziest things and and it really was a horrific thing they did
[41:15.360 --> 41:21.120]  to that family and that was the blm that was up there as well but i was concerned about that from
[41:21.120 --> 41:26.080]  the very beginning because a couple of days before that started you had pete santelli arrested i
[41:26.080 --> 41:30.880]  think it was in ohio over a weapons charge and there was a lot of information about that in the
[41:30.880 --> 41:37.360]  news and then um and there were several aspects of that weapons charge and the next day you know
[41:37.360 --> 41:42.480]  they just let him go and drop all the charges and he goes straight to this protest at the malheur
[41:42.480 --> 41:48.240]  thing i thought that was very suspicious i still think it's very suspicious and when travis and
[41:48.240 --> 41:53.440]  joe biggs went to cover that initially a bit malheur he did everything he could to keep them
[41:53.440 --> 42:00.080]  away at that point as well and so it's um it's kind of interesting to see and i've had difficulty
[42:00.080 --> 42:06.480]  talking to emman bundy because like i said you know he's been um you know these people don't like
[42:06.480 --> 42:12.400]  me and uh you know oh you know don't talk to david night he's a fed it's like i didn't set them up i
[42:12.400 --> 42:19.360]  didn't record this stuff and let it go like pete santelli did um anyway not long ago says atlantic
[42:19.360 --> 42:25.680]  emman bundy was the most famous right-wing militia leader in america his two armed standoffs had made
[42:25.680 --> 42:30.320]  him the face of the patriot movement a loose assemblage of anti-government extremists second
[42:30.320 --> 42:36.240]  amendment maximalists and more than a few white nationalists even some mainstream elements of the
[42:36.240 --> 42:42.160]  republican party embraced him as a modern folk hero but bundy's criticism of the trump administration's
[42:42.160 --> 42:48.080]  immigration crackdown now threatens to make him a pariah within his own community in november bundy
[42:48.080 --> 42:53.680]  self-published a long essay titled the stranger in which he labeled the trump administration's
[42:53.680 --> 42:59.600]  treatment of undocumented immigrants a moral failure to call such people criminals for lacking
[42:59.600 --> 43:04.880]  official permission to be in the country he said is to forget the moral law of god the historical
[43:04.880 --> 43:11.040]  truth of our founding and the constitutional ideals that continue to define justice bundy told his
[43:11.040 --> 43:16.880]  audience that ice's conduct clearly looks like tyranny quote unquote if the government threatened
[43:16.880 --> 43:24.160]  his family he said he would fight back by whatever means necessary now i am not for
[43:24.160 --> 43:28.800]  open borders and i have this has been one of my departures with libertarian party from the very
[43:28.800 --> 43:34.320]  beginning i always put a footnote on that they would have 10 questions about civil liberties
[43:34.320 --> 43:40.640]  issues 10 questions about economics and the one question out of 20 that i had a difference with
[43:40.640 --> 43:47.600]  them on was on immigration i said you got to stop the welfare state first and then we can talk about
[43:47.600 --> 43:52.800]  having open borders if you don't have any welfare state i'm fine with open borders but the other
[43:52.800 --> 43:59.120]  aspect of it is is that if they violated your immigration law they shouldn't be treated just
[43:59.120 --> 44:04.720]  for that one thing as if they are a murderer and a rapist and this is why the trump administration
[44:04.720 --> 44:09.120]  knows that and they pretend that they're only rounding up people who are rapists and murderers
[44:10.080 --> 44:16.560]  question is why are known rapists and murderers wandering around in america loose was because
[44:16.560 --> 44:21.920]  we have a broken justice system that sets them loose and so the real criminals are being set
[44:21.920 --> 44:27.920]  loose and they're treating people who basically uh broke the law but it's like a misdemeanor
[44:27.920 --> 44:34.320]  they're treating them as if they were rapists when they let the rapists go and the murderers go
[44:35.200 --> 44:40.160]  that's what's really happening folks and it's a deliberate policy because they want to create
[44:40.160 --> 44:48.080]  conflict just like love did in the bundy ranch standoff it's like if you had different police
[44:48.080 --> 44:52.960]  forces for every different type of crime so you arrest some guy for breaking and entering oh
[44:52.960 --> 44:58.640]  there's a warrant for uh assault uh well let him go and we'll inform the assault police that we let
[44:58.640 --> 45:07.920]  him go it is patently absurd and yet it's presented as the only way to stop immigration
[45:07.920 --> 45:13.680]  is through this ridiculous authoritarian ice thing i saw a great tweet that was i love how
[45:13.680 --> 45:19.200]  we've set this up so that you're either on team unlimited immigration unlimited somalis or team
[45:19.200 --> 45:24.960]  police state that's right yeah i'm not either one of those teams it's uh this person in the
[45:24.960 --> 45:28.720]  atlantic said i spoke with bundy a few hours after the federal immigration agents shot and
[45:28.720 --> 45:35.680]  killed alex predi he said to me on the phone he said it's sickening just to see the parallels of
[45:35.680 --> 45:40.640]  history repeating itself his november essay he had compared the administration's treatment
[45:40.640 --> 45:45.760]  of immigrants to the internment of japanese americans during world war ii he said when it
[45:45.760 --> 45:50.400]  comes to the more humanitarian humanitarian side of it i think the left has it much more correct
[45:50.480 --> 45:57.040]  than the nationalist right he said bundy to be clear has not gone woke and this is the other
[45:57.040 --> 46:04.800]  thing to me you know it's like how that word has been co-opted and altered and applied as a
[46:04.800 --> 46:11.120]  pejorative to anybody that disagrees with the so-called conservatives and i call them uh you
[46:11.120 --> 46:17.440]  know they're worse than neocons they're trump cons he believes that democrats who he calls
[46:17.520 --> 46:25.760]  communist anarchists are spurred by wickedness so he says are republicans whom he calls nationalists
[46:25.760 --> 46:30.400]  he believes the government has no business providing virtually any social services he
[46:30.400 --> 46:35.680]  believes that homosexuality is a sin and i don't ask him about vaccination requirements and of
[46:35.680 --> 46:41.600]  course i know where he is on that as well he and i are exactly aligned on all the issues that i
[46:41.600 --> 46:47.840]  know that he's publicly spoken about and when it comes to vaccination stuff when it comes to
[46:47.840 --> 46:53.920]  covid stuff in idaho he was a leader of the resistance there because things are pretty
[46:53.920 --> 47:00.560]  bad in idaho with the republican governor brad little acting like a dictator even dismissing
[47:00.560 --> 47:04.880]  the republican legislature when they came together we're going to come together for a special
[47:04.880 --> 47:08.800]  session to shut it down it's because brad little like most of these republican governors and
[47:08.800 --> 47:14.640]  democrat governors were getting massive amounts of money from the trump administration they were
[47:14.640 --> 47:21.440]  getting money that was bigger than the state budget all under their individual control so it
[47:21.440 --> 47:26.960]  wasn't just bribery and blackmail financial bribery financial blackmail but it was also
[47:27.600 --> 47:34.000]  trump giving massive amounts of money to governors and they knew what they could do with that money
[47:34.000 --> 47:37.120]  it's like you know here are some of my dictatorial power i'm going to share it with you
[47:37.840 --> 47:44.080]  and they did it that way and so i thought it was very interesting that in response to
[47:45.760 --> 47:52.400]  medical kidnapping in hospitals both with covid and otherwise he organized a
[47:53.680 --> 47:58.160]  a group to call people's called i think the people's network something like that
[47:58.160 --> 48:03.360]  i thought that was a great idea i covered that i interviewed him on that and i thought it was an
[48:03.360 --> 48:08.960]  excellent idea it was decentralized i'm going to talk about that next from a left perspective
[48:08.960 --> 48:14.400]  what is happening in minnesota i think that was a very effective idea in terms of
[48:15.520 --> 48:22.000]  implementation however it fell very flat i signed up for it put my name there publicly that i would
[48:22.000 --> 48:28.160]  sign up for it and i could never get any information from anybody other than amen about what was
[48:28.160 --> 48:32.480]  happening i don't know if nobody else signed up for it in texas or what but i thought it was a
[48:32.480 --> 48:38.480]  very effective way basically it was going to be a way to alert people as to what was happening
[48:38.480 --> 48:43.440]  same thing that you see happening in minnesota where they have networks and they let other they
[48:43.440 --> 48:48.800]  have phone numbers and they call other people and they show up in mass to protest something if
[48:48.800 --> 48:55.840]  somebody's kidnapped at a hospital for example and so you know because you didn't want to get
[48:55.840 --> 48:59.120]  their vaccines they're not going to let you take your kid home or something like that
[48:59.920 --> 49:04.480]  you could show up in mass and get public attention to it sometimes you could
[49:05.280 --> 49:11.120]  get the hospital to release them as well so it was a very effective thing but i put my name in it and
[49:12.640 --> 49:17.360]  nobody ever contacted me and i could never find anybody to contact so i was like okay well
[49:17.360 --> 49:22.480]  don't know what's going on with it but that's the right idea hey it's ben ferguson and i want you
[49:22.480 --> 49:28.640]  to pause what you're doing for just one minute and i want you to hear about alahandra she lives in a
[49:28.640 --> 49:35.120]  remote community with very few resources and little to no health care so when alahandra gets
[49:35.120 --> 49:42.560]  sick her parents have no real options no doctors in their community and no money for real medical
[49:42.560 --> 49:48.960]  care by the third day her body was shutting down she woke up and just long enough to tell her mom
[49:49.520 --> 49:57.440]  i can't take the pain anymore i can't keep going her parents drove hours to find a doctor who tried
[49:57.440 --> 50:04.240]  everything but she needed a private hospital and that was impossible for her family to afford
[50:04.240 --> 50:11.200]  and that is when compassion international stepped in now through compassion alahandra was treated
[50:11.200 --> 50:18.640]  and against all odds she survived she lived because someone just like you took action right
[50:18.640 --> 50:24.480]  now unfortunately there are children just like alahandra who won't survive unless someone like
[50:24.560 --> 50:31.120]  you steps in compassion international partners with local churches providing children with the
[50:31.120 --> 50:38.400]  support that they need critical medical care plus food education and the hope of the gospel

[51:18.560 --> 51:26.160]  details perhaps bundy's central belief is the inviolability of individual liberty and he's
[51:26.160 --> 51:31.600]  also very strong in the constitution as well and in this he has remained fairly consistent over the
[51:31.600 --> 51:37.200]  years during the first trump presidency he took heart took heat from some of his followers for
[51:37.200 --> 51:42.080]  opposing the administration's anti-immigration agenda and when i first spoke with him a few
[51:42.080 --> 51:48.240]  years ago says the writer of this atlantic piece he rated those views if he has become something
[51:48.240 --> 51:54.240]  of an outcast that testifies less to a transformation in his thinking than to a broader
[51:54.240 --> 52:03.040]  realignment of the far right bundy and his relative ideological fixity offers a stable reference point
[52:03.040 --> 52:10.400]  against which to measure the shift of the right due to the influence of trump they've been captured
[52:10.880 --> 52:17.360]  right they've been captured by these tribes and 2014 bundy and his father cliven part of
[52:17.360 --> 52:24.240]  that bundy standoff there and they were avatars of a conservative belief in the importance of
[52:24.240 --> 52:29.440]  individual liberty and the righteousness of resistance even armed resistance if necessary
[52:30.000 --> 52:36.160]  to government tyranny in a fox news poll asking thousands of viewers whether they were team cliven
[52:36.160 --> 52:45.520]  bundy or team federal government 97 answered team cliven several republican u.s senators publicly
[52:45.520 --> 52:50.160]  defended the family sean hannity repeatedly had cliven on his show as a matter of fact that's
[52:50.160 --> 52:58.160]  another story i got there and you know we started covering it and then cnn shows up and fox news
[52:58.160 --> 53:04.960]  shows up and i go to interview cliven and he says well we can't do an interview here because
[53:05.680 --> 53:11.680]  we agreed to give sean hannity an exclusive on it and i said okay well how about if you just let
[53:11.680 --> 53:16.880]  me shoot you with the trees behind you he won't know where these trees are you know he doesn't
[53:16.880 --> 53:23.760]  know that we're doing it at your house and so he agreed to do that and you know that's again it's
[53:23.760 --> 53:28.960]  like pete santelli they go and they try to get exclusives with people and that's the thing that
[53:28.960 --> 53:33.360]  always makes it more difficult to be able to talk to people when you get out there two years later
[53:33.360 --> 53:39.120]  emin led a six-week occupation of the malheur national wildlife refuge that left with the
[53:40.640 --> 53:47.760]  the death of levois fennecum they characterize it here in the atlantic as a one rancher dead
[53:47.760 --> 53:55.440]  shot down by police officers after a backwoods car chase that's not what happened at all that is
[53:55.440 --> 54:00.400]  not at all what happened he was ambushed and as a matter of fact where were they going in that car
[54:00.400 --> 54:05.680]  when they started they pulled over and they had snipers shooting into the car the people that
[54:05.680 --> 54:10.720]  were there and cliven not cliven levoy fennecum got out with his hands up in order to save the
[54:10.720 --> 54:16.240]  other people that were in the car they shot him in the back as i saw it there was another one
[54:16.240 --> 54:21.360]  of these randy weaver branch davidian type of things they were on their way to a community
[54:21.360 --> 54:26.880]  meeting they were out there explaining to people what the blm was up to in various states and there
[54:26.880 --> 54:32.800]  was a sheriff in the county that was going to be leading that meeting they were not lawless
[54:32.800 --> 54:36.400]  radicals out there fighting the government in every way they were appealing to the lesser
[54:36.400 --> 54:42.560]  magistrate is what they're really doing when they murdered levoy fennecum from 2022 to 2023
[54:43.280 --> 54:48.960]  emin was embroiled in a slow motion standoff with local and state law enforcement in idaho stemming
[54:48.960 --> 54:55.680]  from his refusal to pay a 52 million dollar judgment against him in a high-profile defamation
[54:55.680 --> 55:02.080]  case and that i don't know anything about because i've lost track with him at that point i reached
[55:02.080 --> 55:08.000]  out to a number of those who'd stood with bundy at bunkerville at malheur and afterward none of
[55:08.000 --> 55:14.640]  them would condemn ice and some expressed enthusiastic support says the atlantic here
[55:14.640 --> 55:23.040]  this writer when i asked nick ramlow a montana militia member of bundy's people's rights network
[55:23.040 --> 55:27.840]  that's what it's called people's rights network about goods killing he referred me to a recent
[55:27.840 --> 55:33.760]  supreme court opinion and stressed quote a jury will make a determination of liability when a civil
[55:33.760 --> 55:40.560]  suit is brought unquote in other words ramlow who once told a sheriff that he quote better keep his
[55:40.560 --> 55:46.880]  nose clean unquote because ramlow had a bigger army than he does didn't want to comment one way or the
[55:46.880 --> 55:52.080]  other until the courts weighed in well of course we know the federal government is not going to
[55:52.080 --> 55:58.800]  police its own and so if there's any justice at all it'll be in a civil lawsuit but i think that's
[55:58.800 --> 56:06.080]  a pretty pathetic approach to that eric parker who in 2014 made a name for himself by training
[56:06.080 --> 56:12.080]  a semi-automatic rifle on federal agents at the bundy ranch and who is now the head of the real
[56:12.080 --> 56:19.200]  three percenters of idaho had nothing but praise for the agent who killed good isn't that amazing
[56:19.920 --> 56:24.400]  this is why i said the blindness from the people that were there on january the sixth
[56:24.400 --> 56:27.760]  and now the blindness from the people that were there at the bundy ranch standoff what
[56:27.760 --> 56:33.600]  is the matter with them i don't get he said i mostly think it's important to note how impressive
[56:33.600 --> 56:40.800]  it was to get those first two shots off in under a second so it's great that he was able to get a
[56:40.800 --> 56:46.720]  couple of shots off and very quickly to murder a woman who was driving away and was not a threat to
[56:46.720 --> 56:52.240]  him and to make her a threat to anybody who was on the road ahead of her because now you've got
[56:52.240 --> 56:58.960]  a dead person behind the wheel of a car that is against police procedure as well as homeland
[56:58.960 --> 57:05.280]  security procedure lee rice a longtime people's rights member a steadfast bundy supporter who
[57:05.280 --> 57:10.800]  participated in the oregon standoff told me when i first met him in 2023 he didn't quote believe
[57:10.800 --> 57:15.360]  in the government running rough shot over you unquote but when i spoke to him recently about
[57:15.360 --> 57:20.960]  ice's tactics in minnesota he said quote i'm supportive of what's going on because we need
[57:20.960 --> 57:27.600]  to get those clowns out of here unquote which clowns would those be you mean the somalis that
[57:27.600 --> 57:31.920]  nobody paid any attention to in the first trump administration or even in the second trump
[57:31.920 --> 57:38.160]  administration until you had that report that went viral and then somehow they discovered that these
[57:38.160 --> 57:44.800]  people were there and as i said before this is a problem of fraud and corruption most likely
[57:44.800 --> 57:49.760]  fraud and corruption of the mayor and the governor there the governor of minnesota and so you go
[57:49.760 --> 57:56.720]  after fry and you go after walls and you go after them with accountants and lawyers you don't go
[57:56.720 --> 58:02.560]  door to door trying to create conflict this is what love did at bundy ranch and this is what trump is
[58:02.560 --> 58:08.800]  doing same thing that's happening and these people are completely blind to it makes me so angry when
[58:08.800 --> 58:15.600]  i see this good deserved what she got he said because she had sided with undocumented immigrants
[58:15.600 --> 58:21.840]  i've seen this attitude over and over again so much so on twitter i'd hope that it was bots that
[58:21.840 --> 58:29.040]  were out there unfortunately it's people who think like bots on the whole bundy's former allies seem
[58:29.040 --> 58:36.800]  to remain solidly in favor of masked armed federal agents just the other day bundy told me he had a
[58:36.880 --> 58:41.600]  contentious conversation with a militant who had joined him at malheur bundy had always thought
[58:41.600 --> 58:46.160]  that he and his supporters stood for a coherent set of christian libertarian principles that had
[58:46.160 --> 58:52.640]  united them against federal power he said we agreed that there's certain rights that people have that
[58:52.640 --> 58:58.720]  they're born with and everybody has them equally not just in the united states but on this topic
[58:58.720 --> 59:05.920]  they're willing to completely abandon that principle and folks when you do that you give
[59:05.920 --> 59:13.360]  a free pass to the government to violate every bit of the constitution the bill of rights if
[59:13.360 --> 59:19.040]  somebody is foreign in your country guess what when they get used to doing that it feels good
[59:19.040 --> 59:24.080]  to law enforcement not have to be encumbered by the law by the chains of the constitution
[59:24.720 --> 59:28.400]  and they're going to start doing that to you as well and you know when we look at the way we
[59:28.400 --> 59:34.640]  conduct war and how we start wars how we target civilian populations what is that about
[59:35.600 --> 59:39.440]  that's about not understanding that we're all created in the image of god
[59:40.240 --> 59:47.200]  and it's a complete rejection of both christian and libertarian principles he said we agreed
[59:47.200 --> 59:52.400]  there's certain rights that you're born with but these people are completely willing to abandon
[59:52.400 --> 59:58.800]  that principle abandon all their principles quite frankly he finds this ideological betrayal totally
[59:58.800 --> 01:00:03.760]  baffling he would start to say something and say i can't understand how much they think and then
[01:00:03.760 --> 01:00:10.000]  he'd just break it off he says it just doesn't make sense to me he finally said it's scary
[01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:19.360]  actually i think it is as well i'm more afraid of a polarized people in a country who want to
[01:00:19.360 --> 01:00:23.440]  kill each other these two tribes that they've created that want to kill each other and anybody
[01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:28.640]  else who gets in the way that's not a part of their tribe i'm more concerned about that even
[01:00:28.640 --> 01:00:34.240]  than an out of control government like i said before you know the the drug cartels or anything
[01:00:34.240 --> 01:00:40.480]  which are created by our failed drug war but they as dangerous as they are and they are dangerous
[01:00:41.040 --> 01:00:47.280]  they're not as dangerous as a gang that comes out of the federal government that kills with immunity
[01:00:47.920 --> 01:00:51.280]  they don't have to watch their back to be prosecuted there's no police coming for them
[01:00:51.280 --> 01:00:56.000]  they are the police that's the most dangerous situation that you can have but when you create
[01:00:56.000 --> 01:01:01.920]  a population that wants to kill each other and this is being stoked by everybody from fox news
[01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:08.240]  to alex jones so emin bundy is politically adrift he certainly sees no home for himself
[01:01:08.240 --> 01:01:13.040]  on the communist anarchist left nor does he identify anymore with a nationalist right
[01:01:13.040 --> 01:01:18.960]  and it's authoritarian tendencies the people who supported him have by and large left him behind
[01:01:19.840 --> 01:01:25.200]  he feels he told me told me a little bit alone yeah politically homeless
[01:01:26.800 --> 01:01:30.720]  that was the term that we always used as libertarians you know are you politically
[01:01:30.720 --> 01:01:34.880]  homeless take our quiz maybe if you don't like the republicans and democrats maybe you would
[01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:38.880]  like the approach that we're taking but the libertarians have abandoned their principles
[01:01:38.880 --> 01:01:45.360]  as well i saw them throw that all out the window in 2020 as the government was locking us down
[01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:51.680]  with covid you had the the presidential campaign to be running by joe jorgensen who i know pretty
[01:01:51.680 --> 01:01:56.160]  well i couldn't believe what she was doing the only libertarian who was running for office that
[01:01:56.160 --> 01:02:01.440]  stood up and said anything about it hey it's ben ferguson and i want you to pause what you're doing
[01:02:01.440 --> 01:02:07.440]  for just one minute and i want you to hear about alahandra she lives in a remote community with
[01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:14.320]  very few resources and little to no health care so when alahandra gets sick her parents have no
[01:02:14.320 --> 01:02:22.240]  real options no doctors in their community and no money for real medical care by the third day
[01:02:22.240 --> 01:02:26.560]  her body was shutting down she woke up and just long enough to tell her mom
[01:02:27.120 --> 01:02:34.640]  i can't take the pain anymore i can't keep going her parents drove hours to find a doctor who
[01:02:34.640 --> 01:02:41.840]  tried everything but she needed a private hospital and that was impossible for her family to afford
[01:02:41.840 --> 01:02:48.800]  and that is when compassion international stepped in now through compassion alahandra was treated
[01:02:48.800 --> 01:02:55.280]  and against all odds she survived she lived because someone just like you took action
[01:02:55.920 --> 01:03:01.840]  right now unfortunately there are children just like alahandra who won't survive unless someone
[01:03:01.840 --> 01:03:08.400]  like you steps in compassion international partners with local churches providing children
[01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:15.440]  with the support that they need critical medical care plus food education and the hope of the

[01:04:06.320 --> 01:04:12.000]  along with whatever the government is doing so yeah em and bundy feels long so do i it truly is
[01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:18.240]  amazing well uh we're gonna take a quick break and when we come back we're going to talk about
[01:04:18.240 --> 01:04:24.400]  the tactics this is something from the free thought project it's actually an article from the center
[01:04:24.400 --> 01:04:31.040]  for a stateless society and he's a leftist anarchist and he's talking about what's going
[01:04:31.040 --> 01:04:38.480]  on in minneapolis and i think what is really not appreciated by conservatives is they think that
[01:04:38.480 --> 01:04:44.400]  there's always some kind of top-down organized structure and that's what he's talking about here
[01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:49.920]  networks versus hierarchies you know what is happening there is a network and of course all
[01:04:49.920 --> 01:04:54.800]  the people uh who are trying to make excuses for this say oh that's all being organized by george
[01:04:54.800 --> 01:05:02.560]  soros there is some money from soros is coming in there but the point of networks versus hierarchies
[01:05:02.560 --> 01:05:07.440]  is that there isn't any leader there that's what everybody was saying about antifa for example i
[01:05:07.440 --> 01:05:12.960]  don't agree with antifa at all i think they're very dangerous however if you look at their strategies
[01:05:13.600 --> 01:05:19.040]  of decentralization and of networking versus a hierarchy you know they don't have a hierarchy
[01:05:19.040 --> 01:05:24.240]  which is why uh all of these reports that are coming not all of them but the majority of the
[01:05:24.240 --> 01:05:28.400]  knee-jerk reaction with all this stuff is let's find out where soros is inserting money into this
[01:05:29.600 --> 01:05:35.200]  he is not at the top of the food chain for all that he provides a lot of money for it but these
[01:05:35.200 --> 01:05:38.960]  people are organizing on their own and we'll talk about that when we come back uh we're going to
[01:05:38.960 --> 01:05:43.120]  take a quick break and we will be right back stay with us
[01:06:09.840 --> 01:06:17.120]  so

[01:08:02.120 --> 01:08:08.520]  All right, welcome back. I'm going to take some of the comments that are here and Star
[01:08:08.520 --> 01:08:11.920]  Barkley. Thank you very much for the tip and I should have mentioned this earlier. I wanted
[01:08:11.920 --> 01:08:16.680]  to thank everybody. We made our goal for the month, which is really surprising. A lot of
[01:08:16.680 --> 01:08:20.720]  it came in at the very last minute. And so thank you so much to everybody who supported
[01:08:20.720 --> 01:08:26.280]  us. And by the way, Ryan has sent us some of the medallion coins. So we're going to
[01:08:26.280 --> 01:08:30.520]  bring those back out again. They went out pretty quickly and there was only a hundred
[01:08:30.520 --> 01:08:35.720]  of them, I think the first time. So we're going to be putting those back on the website.
[01:08:35.720 --> 01:08:41.320]  So thank you so much for the support, everyone. We really do appreciate it. Happy Groundhog
[01:08:41.320 --> 01:08:46.480]  Day, says Star Barkley. The Epstein revelations are heating up with the Ross Childs chick
[01:08:46.480 --> 01:08:52.520]  and her emails to Epstein in Ukraine. Thanks for all you do. Yeah, I saw another connection
[01:08:52.520 --> 01:08:59.280]  with the Ross Childs and that was Steve Bannon took advantage of this to release what was
[01:08:59.280 --> 01:09:04.800]  it about an hour of the many, many hours of interviews that he had with Epstein. He became
[01:09:04.920 --> 01:09:11.480]  he was going to be the PR guy for Epstein. Just think about why is he the darling of
[01:09:11.480 --> 01:09:16.600]  the right? Why is Steve Bannon the darling of the right? But anyway, he was asking him
[01:09:16.600 --> 01:09:19.680]  how he got involved in some of these things. And he starts talking about, oh, the Ross
[01:09:19.680 --> 01:09:23.200]  Childs did this and Ross Childs did that. And he goes, Steve Bannon says, wait a minute,
[01:09:23.200 --> 01:09:28.920]  how did you get involved with the Ross Childs? Hey, it's Ben Ferguson. And I want to be honest
[01:09:28.920 --> 01:09:33.760]  with you for a second about how an act of compassion really feels. A couple of years
[01:09:33.760 --> 01:09:40.160]  ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization called Compassion International.
[01:09:40.160 --> 01:09:46.400]  Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need. It was a nice idea, sure. But I had
[01:09:46.400 --> 01:09:53.400]  no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well. I sponsored Nadia
[01:09:53.400 --> 01:09:58.880]  and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes, going from starving literally
[01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:04.240]  alone on the streets to getting the health care and education she needs to reach her
[01:10:04.240 --> 01:10:10.720]  God given full potential. I got to be a part of that change. And the light of that compassion
[01:10:10.720 --> 01:10:17.560]  not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me. That is the power of compassion.
[01:10:17.560 --> 01:10:24.560]  The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's
[01:10:24.560 --> 01:10:30.480]  life. Change the world and you also change yourself. You can sponsor a child today. Visit

[01:11:06.440 --> 01:11:11.240]  I think that's something of a rhetorical question, don't you? I mean, you pretty much understand
[01:11:11.240 --> 01:11:14.840]  how he got involved with them. But he was at the center of a lot of different things.
[01:11:14.840 --> 01:11:21.000]  In the school where he was a teacher, the headmaster was Bill Barr's father, you know,
[01:11:21.880 --> 01:11:26.840]  when you look at this stuff, it truly is amazing, you know, you see Ken Starr coming back and
[01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:31.520]  all this stuff and everything. It's very much like a little Dickens novel. It's this little
[01:11:31.520 --> 01:11:38.520]  tiny click of people that just keep coming back into each other's spheres. It truly is
[01:11:38.680 --> 01:11:43.360]  amazing. So we're going to talk about that. I wanted to talk about the overall news first
[01:11:43.360 --> 01:11:49.600]  and I've got this other article I want to talk about the hierarchical structure of this
[01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:54.920]  because look, folks, it's not going to get fixed from the top down. It really isn't.
[01:11:54.920 --> 01:11:59.040]  And even if we were to get these pedophile rascals out of government, there'll be other
[01:11:59.040 --> 01:12:03.160]  people who'll take their place who may be as bad or worse. I mean, I don't know that
[01:12:03.160 --> 01:12:09.280]  Stephen Miller was ever involved with Epstein. There's no indications so far that he was
[01:12:09.280 --> 01:12:13.760]  because he didn't have any money at the time, right? Not to say that he wouldn't be up for
[01:12:14.600 --> 01:12:20.000]  it at this point in time, but who knows? I have a very low esteem of Stephen Miller,
[01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:25.320]  Pee-wee German, but there's people like him. They're still going to be there even if these
[01:12:25.320 --> 01:12:30.200]  pedophiles, these billionaire pedophiles were taken out. Kuda Bing, thank you very much
[01:12:30.200 --> 01:12:33.800]  for the tip. I appreciate that. It says, Hi Lance, good to hear from you. I've been listening
[01:12:33.800 --> 01:12:38.840]  to the show since 2015. Even on Infowars, David has always had the voice of reason.
[01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:43.440]  Well, thank you. Stemming from the values of Jesus Christ and he's never changed. Well,
[01:12:43.440 --> 01:12:50.520]  thank you. Appreciate that. Audi, good to see you. Audi, modern retro radio. Let us
[01:12:50.520 --> 01:12:54.480]  know how the show is going. I need to get you on and talk about your show. That's all
[01:12:54.480 --> 01:12:59.840]  a lie. He's absolutely right. Says the Interaction Act was the plan all along. If there's any
[01:12:59.840 --> 01:13:05.280]  chaos you can count on government to manufacture it. That's what I was saying the other day.
[01:13:05.280 --> 01:13:12.000]  Be aware when you've got a government manufactured problem and the border is. The border is a
[01:13:12.120 --> 01:13:17.200]  Republican Democrat manufactured problem. They would use it for election purposes, but
[01:13:17.200 --> 01:13:23.360]  now they're using it for police surveillance state purposes, folks. Beware when the government
[01:13:23.360 --> 01:13:28.680]  creates a problem and then offers you as the only solution, just like the vaccine. The
[01:13:28.680 --> 01:13:35.800]  only solution is a police surveillance state. It's a setup. It's exactly what it is. Whenever
[01:13:35.800 --> 01:13:43.640]  they create the problem, offer you a totalitarian solution. Don't fall for it. The Beru, 2029,
[01:13:43.640 --> 01:13:50.000]  a Democratic controlled Congress is exactly what Democrat Caligula Trump desires to serve
[01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:56.080]  his dystopian rubber stamp agenda. Exactly right. Yeah, he's supposedly not a part of
[01:13:56.080 --> 01:14:00.840]  them, right? He's not a Democrat, just like he's not a pedophile. He's not a globalist,
[01:14:00.840 --> 01:14:07.240]  just like he's not a pedophile. People need to start to figure out what this guy is. It's
[01:14:07.240 --> 01:14:13.120]  been all, it's been right in your face from the very beginning, hasn't it? Especially
[01:14:13.120 --> 01:14:20.160]  from 2020 on. Pazano Vonte, 1776, former Trump National Security Advisor, said the idea
[01:14:20.160 --> 01:14:25.520]  to acquire Greenland came from none other than Ronald Lauder. Now Ronald Lauder's son-in-law
[01:14:25.520 --> 01:14:32.520]  will become Fed Chairman in May, at the end of Powell's term, upon confirmation. I think
[01:14:32.520 --> 01:14:36.680]  they've got a different now. I think it's Warsh, because I was laughing about it. They're
[01:14:36.680 --> 01:14:41.200]  going to try to whitewash all of this stuff with this new Fed Chairman. We're going to
[01:14:41.200 --> 01:14:47.360]  whitewash the federal budget deficit. All the problems have been solved according to
[01:14:47.360 --> 01:14:52.680]  the Wall Street people. And you saw what happened, I guess, over the weekend with gold and silver
[01:14:52.760 --> 01:15:00.760]  after Trump announced his choice for Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh. And so I don't think
[01:15:00.760 --> 01:15:06.440]  they've solved anything, folks. I don't think he's doing anything. As he changes the chair
[01:15:06.440 --> 01:15:12.120]  of the Federal Reserve, he's rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. That's all that's
[01:15:12.120 --> 01:15:15.640]  really happening. And I think Trump will get his way with whoever he puts in. I don't think
[01:15:15.640 --> 01:15:21.160]  he's going to put in anybody that isn't going to do everything that he wants. Audi says, so
[01:15:21.960 --> 01:15:28.360]  Audi MRR says, so Trump is basically willing to sacrifice 500 military servicemen to justify
[01:15:28.360 --> 01:15:33.720]  ramping up war. Any number of people. They don't care. As a matter of fact, when you look at it,
[01:15:33.720 --> 01:15:38.440]  this is one of the problems I always had where the people said, well, nobody died at this event
[01:15:38.440 --> 01:15:43.560]  or whatever. That became a regular thing after Steve Petchenik and others sold that through
[01:15:43.560 --> 01:15:51.800]  Alex Jones. Well, nobody died. It serves their purpose when people die. It gets people angry.
[01:15:51.800 --> 01:15:57.080]  It gets people to fall in line behind them in the same way that when you bomb a civilian
[01:15:57.080 --> 01:16:01.880]  population, when Hitler bombs London, what happens? Does it break the morale of the people in London?
[01:16:01.880 --> 01:16:07.480]  No, it galvanizes them against Hitler. And so it's the same type of thing. You want to have
[01:16:07.480 --> 01:16:12.040]  those casualties. You want the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor. That's the way these
[01:16:12.280 --> 01:16:18.920]  Machiavellian ways these SOBs operate. Truly amazing. SoloCat, 1980, the government creates
[01:16:18.920 --> 01:16:23.720]  problems that always brings in more tyranny as a solution to that problem. Absolutely.
[01:16:23.720 --> 01:16:28.600]  Pizzano Vonte, 1776, did you hear about the new proposed gun law in Virginia
[01:16:29.320 --> 01:16:33.320]  where they want to charge gun owners whose guns have been stolen with a crime?
[01:16:34.680 --> 01:16:40.600]  Yeah, that's, I'm sure that's going to be, there's a lot of novel approaches to it. We've seen some
[01:16:40.600 --> 01:16:45.960]  novel approaches from Trump himself and his first administration. Just wait for that to fall. He's
[01:16:45.960 --> 01:16:51.400]  been very anti-Second Amendment and it's cost him a lot of support with Republicans. That's one of
[01:16:51.400 --> 01:16:56.760]  the other things that's going to be a factor, I think, in the midterm elections. But I see
[01:16:56.760 --> 01:17:01.720]  the elections as more selections than anything else anyway. Let's talk about what we can do.
[01:17:02.600 --> 01:17:09.000]  And again, this is coming from the perspective of people on the left who are pro-illegal immigration
[01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:13.080]  and all the rest of it, just open the borders and flood everybody in, which I don't agree with.
[01:17:13.080 --> 01:17:17.800]  I don't agree with that end goal. I also don't agree with the tactics of the Trump administration
[01:17:17.800 --> 01:17:22.920]  and the tactics of ICE. And a lot of law enforcement don't either. You had a lot of police chiefs
[01:17:22.920 --> 01:17:27.960]  in Minnesota who spoke out against that. You've had police chiefs in other areas that have spoken
[01:17:27.960 --> 01:17:33.720]  out against what is happening with this. And so it's important to separate the tactics from the
[01:17:33.720 --> 01:17:38.280]  end goals. Whether or not you agree with the end goals. Even if the end goal is bad, you can learn
[01:17:38.360 --> 01:17:44.200]  something if the tactics are good. And if the end goal is good and the tactics are evil, that is a
[01:17:44.200 --> 01:17:48.760]  very dangerous precedent-setting thing. So let's take a look at this. This is a story from the
[01:17:48.760 --> 01:17:55.960]  Free Thought Project. And the author is coming from the Center for a Stateless Society. He said,
[01:17:55.960 --> 01:18:00.360]  for some time I've been thinking about writing a review of Kevin Carson's book, The Desktop
[01:18:00.360 --> 01:18:05.640]  Regulatory State. And he said it helped to make him an anarchist back in 2016. Well,
[01:18:06.360 --> 01:18:12.120]  anyway, I think there is a legitimate role for government. But you've got to have some legitimate
[01:18:12.120 --> 01:18:18.120]  people in there who are going to be held to some rules. You can't have lawless criminals
[01:18:19.000 --> 01:18:23.800]  and effectively run a government. It's going to be a lawless criminal government if you've got
[01:18:23.800 --> 01:18:30.760]  people like Trump at the top. And so he says, citizens fought back in a way that is seemingly
[01:18:30.760 --> 01:18:35.960]  a textbook application of what Carson wrote about in that book. To the point that if a second
[01:18:35.960 --> 01:18:39.240]  edition is ever published, I wouldn't be surprised if it had an entire subsection
[01:18:39.800 --> 01:18:45.880]  that was a case study in network resistance. For those who haven't read the book, a significant
[01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:51.000]  part of it is about establishing what Carson sees as a primary conflict going forward,
[01:18:51.720 --> 01:18:56.520]  namely a conflict between networks and hierarchies. And as I mentioned before,
[01:18:56.520 --> 01:19:01.960]  the People's Rights Network, that's Emin Bundy saw the same thing. And of course, he doesn't,
[01:19:01.960 --> 01:19:06.440]  like me, he doesn't share any of the goals of the communists. But it's how do we keep this
[01:19:06.440 --> 01:19:11.880]  government in check? You had at the time of the revolution, the way people communicate with each
[01:19:11.880 --> 01:19:17.160]  other was writing stuff down and written notes and passing them along. You had the committees
[01:19:17.160 --> 01:19:23.560]  of correspondence. Well, technology has changed that a little bit. And now you've got encrypted
[01:19:23.560 --> 01:19:30.680]  messaging systems. And the government and many of those on the right who want to support Trump
[01:19:30.680 --> 01:19:36.680]  see nefariousness in that. I see an opportunity in that, an opportunity to push back against
[01:19:36.680 --> 01:19:40.760]  the government that is out of control. I think we need to look at these different structures
[01:19:40.760 --> 01:19:46.600]  like jury nullification and state nullification. We need to look at these because the evil is
[01:19:46.600 --> 01:19:52.280]  primarily coming from Washington, regardless of whether it's Republican or Democrat or whoever
[01:19:52.280 --> 01:19:57.000]  it is that's in charge there. It's coming from Washington. He says, I'm not personally involved
[01:19:57.000 --> 01:20:01.160]  in the fight in Minnesota, but it certainly seems like Minneapolis is utilizing a network
[01:20:01.800 --> 01:20:08.360]  to fight against a hierarchy. He said, the movement is not leaderless, but it is leaderful,
[01:20:08.360 --> 01:20:15.720]  said one person. There are no, there are no few specific people who could be arrested to stop the
[01:20:15.800 --> 01:20:22.600]  movement. It's built out of so many interlocking networks, even if a bad actor managed to disrupt
[01:20:22.600 --> 01:20:28.680]  an individual piece of the network, the disruption would be minimal. The network is democratic in the
[01:20:28.680 --> 01:20:34.280]  sense that it is run by the people who are part of it rather than by some vanguard of leaders.
[01:20:35.000 --> 01:20:41.080]  People are listened to only when their ideas actually appeal to people. And again, this is
[01:20:41.080 --> 01:20:47.000]  what M and Bundy was trying to do to set up a people's rights network. The basic strategy employed
[01:20:47.000 --> 01:20:52.920]  by people on the ground is identifying cars used by agents, following them, alerting others to
[01:20:52.920 --> 01:20:57.720]  their presence through the use of horns and whistles and photographing or videotaping them
[01:20:57.720 --> 01:21:02.920]  when they try to cost and kidnap people on the street while getting the information of the people
[01:21:02.920 --> 01:21:09.080]  they seize. And so I got to say, you know, to me, when I look at this, where is the criminality in
[01:21:09.080 --> 01:21:15.320]  this? Okay. They want to say that filming them is a crime. They wear masks. They don't want to be
[01:21:15.320 --> 01:21:20.600]  filmed. I have no sympathy for that argument. The more you wear a mask, the more you need to be
[01:21:20.600 --> 01:21:26.200]  filmed. What are you trying to hide? If you're doing, if you're decent and honest and law-abiding,
[01:21:26.200 --> 01:21:31.240]  you don't need a mask. It just tells you what these people's attitude is. But when it talks,
[01:21:31.240 --> 01:21:35.880]  you talk about blowing horns and whistles and things like that. Have you ever been on the road
[01:21:35.880 --> 01:21:39.480]  and somebody flashed their brights because there's a speed trap right over the hill?
[01:21:41.000 --> 01:21:45.400]  I have been helped by that many times and I've tried to do that to help other people as well.
[01:21:45.400 --> 01:21:50.600]  What is the harm in that? I mean, should we be chased? You've had some situations where some cops
[01:21:50.600 --> 01:21:58.440]  have come after people who alerted others to their presence. I support that and I support it here for
[01:21:58.440 --> 01:22:05.240]  the same reasons. You need to have, who watches the watchers, right? You know, we have to have
[01:22:05.240 --> 01:22:09.560]  government, they say, because we're not angels. But because we're not angels, you need to watch
[01:22:09.560 --> 01:22:15.800]  the government. So who watches these people who watch us? That's us. We're the ones who watch
[01:22:15.800 --> 01:22:22.760]  the watchers and that's what they hate so much. Outmaneuvering a hierarchically structured enemy
[01:22:22.760 --> 01:22:26.120]  with superior firepower instead of directly confronting them is nothing new.
[01:22:27.000 --> 01:22:31.880]  This is the bread and butter of successful guerrilla insurgencies. And I would say even
[01:22:31.880 --> 01:22:37.880]  like the American Revolution, Washington didn't have much success. As a matter of fact,
[01:22:38.600 --> 01:22:42.840]  the surrender of Cornwallis there in Yorktown was pretty much a fluke and it would never have
[01:22:42.840 --> 01:22:49.480]  happened without support of the French government. All the victories that had happened in the American
[01:22:49.480 --> 01:22:55.480]  Revolution were done because of guerrilla type of firing. Think of Concord and Lexington, right?
[01:22:56.040 --> 01:23:02.680]  Where the British come to confiscate the cannons that belong to the citizens as well as rifles.
[01:23:02.680 --> 01:23:07.640]  And then they were shot at from, you know, they didn't line up and confront them, which was the
[01:23:07.640 --> 01:23:12.520]  standard way that people fought wars at that point in time. It was a guerrilla war and that was where
[01:23:12.520 --> 01:23:17.640]  their victories came from. And if you look at the Civil War, I think that would have been successful
[01:23:17.640 --> 01:23:23.000]  for the South if they would have fought it as a guerrilla war. That was basically the attitude of
[01:23:23.000 --> 01:23:27.960]  Nathan Bedford Forrest. And he was very successful. He fought in an unconventional way. It's like,
[01:23:27.960 --> 01:23:32.840]  I'm not going to fight by your rules. I'm going to fight in the type of ways that's going to win.
[01:23:32.840 --> 01:23:36.200]  And I think if they would have done that, they would have been successful.
[01:23:37.560 --> 01:23:40.280]  Calvary sawed off shotguns instead of sabers.
[01:23:40.280 --> 01:23:45.720]  That's right. That's right. And so, which I've talked about many times because of the
[01:23:45.720 --> 01:23:52.280]  Supreme Court ruling that sawed off shotgun can be illegal as part of the FDR Firearms Act because
[01:23:52.280 --> 01:23:55.480]  it was never used by the military. And it's like, that's an absolute lie.
[01:23:55.480 --> 01:24:01.880]  It was used by cavalry during the Civil War and it was used in trench warfare in World War I as well.
[01:24:02.440 --> 01:24:07.640]  So, what Minneapolis leverages is real-time encrypted communications through phone apps
[01:24:07.640 --> 01:24:15.720]  like Signal, but also through radio networks. Such nonviolent swarming tactics amplified by
[01:24:15.720 --> 01:24:21.640]  many-to-many communications technology has been around for a while. Carson draws on a classic
[01:24:21.640 --> 01:24:28.600]  work of RAND think tankers and their concept of net war. They argued that advances in communication
[01:24:28.600 --> 01:24:34.920]  technology had enabled decentralized swarms to overwhelm more powerful hierarchically
[01:24:34.920 --> 01:24:42.360]  organized targets. Networks operate by swarming. They're opponents like bees or like white blood
[01:24:42.360 --> 01:24:48.600]  cells, more like organisms than like machines. They approach stealthily and from many directions
[01:24:48.600 --> 01:24:53.960]  in offense. In defense, they can react like antibodies moving toward points of attack.
[01:24:54.600 --> 01:25:00.840]  Net wars line between offense and defense can be blurred, leaving opponents unclear
[01:25:00.840 --> 01:25:07.880]  about what is occurring and how to respond. And again, how did they swarm people? They swarmed
[01:25:07.880 --> 01:25:16.840]  them with cameras to witness what these masked mobsters from DC are doing. So, I hardly agree
[01:25:16.840 --> 01:25:24.920]  with that. So, it is a popular front, an actual popular front. The broad moral consensus that ICE
[01:25:24.920 --> 01:25:28.760]  should be fought is one of the distinctions between the networks and the hierarchies.
[01:25:29.720 --> 01:25:33.640]  People are intrinsically motivated to act because they believe in what they're doing,
[01:25:34.680 --> 01:25:40.440]  not because they're being forced and so they can be trusted to do the right thing. It's not because
[01:25:40.440 --> 01:25:45.960]  they've been ordered, not because they are being paid, but because they believe they're doing the
[01:25:45.960 --> 01:25:52.360]  right thing. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act
[01:25:52.360 --> 01:25:58.680]  of compassion really feels. A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing
[01:25:58.680 --> 01:26:05.320]  organization called Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[01:26:05.320 --> 01:26:12.200]  It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as
[01:26:12.200 --> 01:26:18.280]  well. I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes,
[01:26:18.280 --> 01:26:24.760]  going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the health care and education she needs
[01:26:24.760 --> 01:26:31.400]  to reach her God-given full potential. I got to be a part of that change and the light of that
[01:26:31.400 --> 01:26:37.720]  compassion not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me. That is the power of
[01:26:37.720 --> 01:26:45.160]  compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally
[01:26:45.160 --> 01:26:51.560]  a child's life. Change the world and you also change yourself. You can sponsor a child today.
[01:26:51.560 --> 01:26:59.240]  Visit Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com. It's Bretzky. I don't know how they let me
[01:26:59.240 --> 01:27:03.720]  on this podcast, but while I'm here, I might as well tell you the only place to play blackjack,
[01:27:03.720 --> 01:27:12.440]  roulette and live craps in Texas is Spinquest.com, baby. That's S-P-I-N-Q-U-E-S-T.com. New users get
[01:27:12.440 --> 01:27:19.160]  a $30 coin package for only $10. I mean, that's a hell of a deal for all you 10-gallon hatwares
[01:27:19.160 --> 01:27:25.640]  down there in Texas. Spinquest is a free-to-play social casino. Voidware prohibited. Visit
[01:27:25.640 --> 01:27:32.280]  Spinquest.com for more details. Bonds formed under pressure of negative double-digit windchill
[01:27:32.920 --> 01:27:37.880]  are key to understanding what is happening in Minnesota. One person said it's impossible
[01:27:37.880 --> 01:27:42.840]  to get through a Minnesota winter without help and only sometimes does that assistance come from
[01:27:42.840 --> 01:27:49.800]  your neighbors. The stories about people shoveling out or snow blowing an entire block's driveway
[01:27:49.800 --> 01:27:56.120]  without being asked and with no compensation are true, but the real miracles and just as common
[01:27:56.120 --> 01:28:01.960]  are the times when strangers stop to help someone shovel out a car that's caught in a snowbank or
[01:28:01.960 --> 01:28:05.880]  to bring out the kitty litter from their trunk and put it there for just this kind of emergency.
[01:28:07.640 --> 01:28:14.520]  I can't tell you one story about that happening to me. I have at least three or four. The pun
[01:28:14.520 --> 01:28:20.920]  is irresistible. Minnesotans have always declared common cause against ice. They've just changed
[01:28:20.920 --> 01:28:26.920]  their focus to the ice that you can't use for hockey practice. You can dismiss it as a joke
[01:28:27.000 --> 01:28:33.000]  until someone at a cafe gives you a spare scarf because you can't find yours. People offer
[01:28:33.000 --> 01:28:37.640]  assistance without hesitation, without question. I don't think I've ever heard someone dismiss
[01:28:37.640 --> 01:28:44.600]  thanks with just pay it back someday. It says I don't think I've ever even heard someone say that.
[01:28:44.600 --> 01:28:49.960]  Just dismiss it. Just pay it back someday. There's also the technical infrastructure that powers the
[01:28:50.040 --> 01:28:57.320]  resistance in the form of an app like Signal. The crypto war is the 90s which made encryption
[01:28:57.320 --> 01:29:03.240]  legal for everyday people to use and the work to build, popularize, and maintain Signal are
[01:29:03.240 --> 01:29:08.520]  what has enabled protesters securely to communicate in ways that frustrate the regime's surveillance
[01:29:08.520 --> 01:29:14.760]  attempts. And boy are they upset about that in the EU and in Washington. They want to stop encryption.
[01:29:15.560 --> 01:29:21.400]  The specific structure of closed encrypted group chats means that the resistance is more resilient.
[01:29:22.520 --> 01:29:27.720]  So you can have somebody that breaks into that but they're going to get into just an individual
[01:29:27.720 --> 01:29:32.520]  chat and then there's going to be others that are going to be encrypted. They said this is much
[01:29:32.520 --> 01:29:38.840]  different than when people organize over public facing social media. And we saw that during COVID
[01:29:39.640 --> 01:29:44.920]  when people said there's going to be a protest against these COVID lockdown measures that's
[01:29:44.920 --> 01:29:50.680]  happened in Australia. And so we're going to all gather at such and such a place at such and such
[01:29:50.680 --> 01:29:57.640]  a time. Next thing you know we've got video of the thugs in uniform showing up at this woman's
[01:29:57.640 --> 01:30:03.000]  house and she's pregnant, pregnant woman, and arresting her because she posted that on Facebook.
[01:30:03.960 --> 01:30:09.240]  That's why it's important to have encryption. It's worth talking about the broader political
[01:30:09.240 --> 01:30:15.080]  implications of all this. The reason people are acting this way is not because they have a formal
[01:30:15.080 --> 01:30:20.760]  understanding the principles of swarming or of net war but because they saw other people doing
[01:30:20.760 --> 01:30:25.880]  something that was effective that they could do themselves. The reason Minneapolis resistances
[01:30:25.880 --> 01:30:31.320]  work so well is that it consists of forms of activity that require minimal buy-in in terms
[01:30:31.720 --> 01:30:37.240]  of ideology. Secret police shouldn't abduct my neighbors is what they're thinking. And resources,
[01:30:37.240 --> 01:30:41.400]  all you need is a phone, a whistle, or a car. You know when we looked at the Bundy Ranch,
[01:30:41.400 --> 01:30:45.720]  it was very different. You had a lot of people who were angry about what was happening there.
[01:30:45.720 --> 01:30:51.320]  Some of the people that I talked to that were there had been farmers in that area and Clive and
[01:30:51.320 --> 01:30:55.560]  Bundy and his family were the last people who had a farm in that area. The rest of them had been
[01:30:55.560 --> 01:31:00.440]  run out by the federal government under absurd pretenses about the desert tortoise and things
[01:31:00.440 --> 01:31:06.600]  like that. And actually, as Clive pointed out, the desert tortoise had thrived with cattle there.
[01:31:07.160 --> 01:31:12.600]  They were able to get moisture from the cattle droppings that were there. And at the same time,
[01:31:12.600 --> 01:31:18.840]  the BLM had taken all these desert tortoises and tried to make this precious
[01:31:21.160 --> 01:31:25.880]  situation out of it. And they wound up killing hundreds of them through mismanagement.
[01:31:25.880 --> 01:31:29.880]  So he said, they're thriving out here in the desert with our cattle, but when the BLM takes
[01:31:29.880 --> 01:31:33.400]  them, they can't manage to keep them alive. But I had a lot of people that I talked to
[01:31:33.960 --> 01:31:38.760]  who had been neighbors in the past of the Bundys, and they had been driven out by the federal
[01:31:38.760 --> 01:31:43.640]  government. And they were there with the grievance. Now the situation in the Bundy Ranch wasn't just
[01:31:43.640 --> 01:31:48.760]  horns and whistles that people had in cameras, of course. They came with guns, and it was a very
[01:31:48.760 --> 01:31:55.320]  touch and go situation. As a matter of fact, there were so many people with guns that the BLM guys
[01:31:55.320 --> 01:31:59.720]  who wanted to fight were outnumbered. And that's the way you stop it. They were the ones who
[01:31:59.720 --> 01:32:05.560]  wanted to initiate a fight. And they were on the minority side with that. But the other thing about
[01:32:05.560 --> 01:32:11.240]  the Bundy Ranch standoff that I think was significant was they had an immediate achievable
[01:32:11.240 --> 01:32:16.440]  goal. And that's part of the problem with a lot of these protests that are out there.
[01:32:16.440 --> 01:32:20.840]  They protest something that is really big and nebulous, and there's no way that you're going
[01:32:20.840 --> 01:32:26.280]  to get that changed. It's just redressing your grievances, but no change is going to be coming.
[01:32:26.280 --> 01:32:31.560]  He had a very specific goal. I want my cattle that you stole from me, I want those back
[01:32:31.560 --> 01:32:37.800]  right now, or we're going to come take them. And so there's certain things about the Bundy Ranch
[01:32:37.800 --> 01:32:42.840]  standoff that are applicable and transferable, other things that really aren't. But those are
[01:32:42.840 --> 01:32:47.880]  things I think that made it successful. You know, I'd never really thought about the justification
[01:32:47.880 --> 01:32:54.120]  for it all that much, the whole desert tortoise thing, how they take ranchers that have this
[01:32:54.120 --> 01:32:59.320]  working, successful ecosystem, they've got to keep these animals alive, and they want to remove
[01:32:59.320 --> 01:33:03.800]  all the animals except for the one animal in this ecosystem, the desert tortoise, and expect it to
[01:33:03.800 --> 01:33:09.320]  do better. You know, as you said, the plants that they're eating are getting fertilized by the cows.
[01:33:09.320 --> 01:33:16.840]  It's an ecosystem. And the cow dung was a source of moisture for the desert tortoise. And where did
[01:33:16.840 --> 01:33:22.200]  the cows get that moisture? It was from all the water infrastructure that the farmers had put in
[01:33:22.200 --> 01:33:25.880]  there because the farmers were there, his family and these other families had been there
[01:33:26.760 --> 01:33:34.280]  many decades, in some cases, like 100 years before the BLM was even created. And they were doing land
[01:33:34.280 --> 01:33:41.080]  management on their ranches and farms that were there. So again, when we look at the tactics of
[01:33:41.080 --> 01:33:45.720]  this, when push came to shove, the people of Minneapolis didn't wait around for a verticalist
[01:33:45.720 --> 01:33:51.000]  structure to form, that they could resist the encroachment of institutional measures. They
[01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:57.880]  didn't wait for a formal organization to start strategically directing people. Although the
[01:33:57.880 --> 01:34:02.440]  democratic socialists of America are part of the resistance, they are doing it themselves.
[01:34:03.240 --> 01:34:09.480]  And this is the folly and the blindness of the right. They think that they are so vertically
[01:34:09.480 --> 01:34:15.400]  oriented, they are projecting that onto other people. And if the right will wants to change
[01:34:15.400 --> 01:34:23.320]  things, they need to start getting into more of a network mindset, like the democrats are. And I
[01:34:23.320 --> 01:34:29.560]  think they are being done a disservice by people on Fox News and Infowars. Every time they say,
[01:34:29.560 --> 01:34:34.440]  well, what source doing? There's some network here where sources funneling money in. Yes,
[01:34:34.440 --> 01:34:38.360]  there's some money that is coming into some of these people. We saw that in a big way with the
[01:34:38.520 --> 01:34:46.680]  Black Lives Matter riots. But this is a bit different, what is happening here. And so again,
[01:34:48.280 --> 01:34:53.800]  they freak out about George Soros, but they don't care at all about the fact that Soros's
[01:34:53.800 --> 01:34:58.040]  right-hand man, Scott Bessent, is now the right-hand man of Trump. Nothing to see there,
[01:34:58.040 --> 01:35:03.400]  just move along, right? And now one last thing, and then we'll get on to the Epstein stuff. Of
[01:35:03.400 --> 01:35:08.280]  course, that video of Alex Preti kicking a cop matters. This is actually coming from leftist
[01:35:08.280 --> 01:35:14.840]  mediaite. And I have a different way of seeing this as well. So you've probably seen this. I
[01:35:14.840 --> 01:35:19.160]  didn't show it. He gets very angry. He's yelling and screaming at him. He kicks the car a couple
[01:35:19.160 --> 01:35:23.720]  of times, and one of the kicks even kicks out the tail light of the car. I said, you know,
[01:35:23.720 --> 01:35:31.080]  it's kind of interesting to see how flimsy cars are anymore. I don't think you'd do that to 1950s
[01:35:31.720 --> 01:35:38.280]  chrome and metal car. But anyway, he gets into a scuffle with him. And when I saw that,
[01:35:38.840 --> 01:35:43.480]  my thought was, not what does that tell us about Preti? Oh, well, now Preti is a bad guy,
[01:35:43.480 --> 01:35:48.040]  and he deserved to be killed. No, they didn't shoot him that day. They didn't even arrest him
[01:35:48.040 --> 01:35:54.280]  that day. So what does that tell us? Does that tell us then that a couple of weeks later,
[01:35:54.280 --> 01:36:00.200]  the murder of Preti is valid? It wouldn't have been valid for them to kill him that day. They
[01:36:00.200 --> 01:36:03.480]  could have arrested him or whatever. And if he resisted arrest, who knows what would happen?
[01:36:04.280 --> 01:36:10.920]  But that's not what happened. The ICE agents there on that day acted very differently than the ones
[01:36:10.920 --> 01:36:18.920]  a couple of weeks later. So what does that tell us? It tells us that ICE is capricious, arbitrary,
[01:36:18.920 --> 01:36:24.120]  and has different standards. All these agents are doing whatever they please. That's what it tells
[01:36:24.120 --> 01:36:30.280]  us. You've got this verticalist structure that is not structured at all, quite frankly.
[01:36:30.280 --> 01:36:36.520]  These guys are free to do whatever they wish. And you can see that on one day when he's much
[01:36:36.520 --> 01:36:42.200]  poor behaved and could have reasonably been arrested for that, that they don't arrest him.
[01:36:42.200 --> 01:36:48.360]  They certainly don't kill him. Then on another day when he's just filming, they kill him. What's
[01:36:48.360 --> 01:36:52.920]  going on with that? What's different ICE agents? And I think it tells us everything about ICE.
[01:36:52.920 --> 01:36:57.960]  This is not a reflection on him that they would like to believe. As this person says,
[01:36:57.960 --> 01:37:03.480]  for those on the right determined to justify the events of January the 24th when he was shot dead,
[01:37:04.360 --> 01:37:12.760]  this shows that this is an answer to their prayers, right? Because it gives them tribal
[01:37:12.760 --> 01:37:18.280]  validation. For those on the left who fetishized the distortedly destructive behavior,
[01:37:18.760 --> 01:37:24.440]  it was something to be hand-waved away, an irrelevant, even disgusting smear of a dead man.
[01:37:25.320 --> 01:37:31.240]  Well, it's neither of those, actually. This person says that they didn't come anywhere
[01:37:31.240 --> 01:37:36.840]  close to warranting the rest of the use of lethal force on either of those days.
[01:37:37.400 --> 01:37:41.240]  And to cite that as a justification for his death a week and a half later,
[01:37:41.240 --> 01:37:47.800]  at what appeared to be a much less charged moment, is an intellectual as well as a moral
[01:37:47.800 --> 01:37:52.680]  error. American citizens are entitled to make mistakes, even egregious ones, without paying
[01:37:52.680 --> 01:37:58.600]  the price for them with their life. And I would say, again, my take on this was different than
[01:37:58.600 --> 01:38:05.560]  this writer because, to me, it shows the arbitrary capricious nature of ICE and the fact that, A,
[01:38:05.560 --> 01:38:10.200]  they're not trained in terms of law enforcement, so you don't shoot into a moving car if they're not,
[01:38:10.200 --> 01:38:14.440]  say, shooting at people. This has been a long-standing rule by many, many police
[01:38:14.440 --> 01:38:19.720]  departments and by the Department of Homeland Security. However, what it shows us is that
[01:38:19.720 --> 01:38:23.480]  these guys are just giving carte blanche to do whatever they feel like. I think that's really
[01:38:23.480 --> 01:38:29.400]  what is happening here. And we need to understand, folks, that the politicians at the top are not
[01:38:29.400 --> 01:38:38.520]  accountable. They're not going to change. All of this change should come, should be done, I think,
[01:38:38.520 --> 01:38:43.080]  you know, from the bottom up. And this is where I think the horizontal networks are very important,
[01:38:43.080 --> 01:38:48.200]  to shine the light on this stuff. Ideally, there ought to be a trial by combat with the elites.
[01:38:48.200 --> 01:38:54.600]  You ought to have Trump versus Waltz. And I don't mean they go out and fight with clubs. I mean,
[01:38:54.600 --> 01:39:00.760]  they go into a courtroom, each of them armed with lawyers and accountants, and that's where the fight
[01:39:00.760 --> 01:39:06.920]  needs to be had. Instead, they have got a different kind of trial by combat, and that's with their ICE
[01:39:06.920 --> 01:39:10.760]  agents. We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back and talk about Epstein. We'll
[01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:17.800]  be right back.
[01:40:10.760 --> 01:40:31.000]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson, and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute, and I want
[01:40:31.000 --> 01:40:37.640]  you to hear about love, generosity, and compassion. We say those words all the time, and they sound
[01:40:37.720 --> 01:40:43.400]  good. They feel good. But here's the truth. Those words don't mean anything unless they
[01:40:43.400 --> 01:40:50.200]  turn into action. And right now, not later today, not tomorrow, there's a child in the world who
[01:40:50.200 --> 01:40:57.320]  doesn't know if they'll eat, if they'll have a chance to learn, or if there's any hope at all.
[01:40:57.320 --> 01:41:04.040]  And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward, but that child is waiting. This is where

[01:42:09.720 --> 01:42:12.200]  And now, The David Nutt Show.
[01:42:15.080 --> 01:42:19.720]  Comments here, Defy Tyrant 1776. This is all about getting Americans accustomed to seeing
[01:42:19.720 --> 01:42:25.160]  Gestapo thugs on the street, maybe to get people to fully accept martial law. Well,
[01:42:25.160 --> 01:42:30.600]  it doesn't take much prodding, does it? I mean, we saw that with COVID lockdowns. That was medical
[01:42:30.600 --> 01:42:34.600]  martial law, but it was martial law. They did the best they could to get that going. It's all
[01:42:34.600 --> 01:42:40.200]  predictive programming, isn't it? It's all getting people accustomed to this. And of course, locking
[01:42:40.200 --> 01:42:45.720]  everybody down and then handing them a stimulus check as well, that was programming for universal
[01:42:45.720 --> 01:42:51.400]  basic income that Trump was doing. So hopefully people will see through some of this. They're
[01:42:51.400 --> 01:42:55.480]  starting to see through some of the vaccination stuff as well. Brian and Deb McCartney, the storm
[01:42:55.480 --> 01:43:00.600]  troopers are so welcome here. Yeah, here in Tennessee. And that is what they want people
[01:43:00.600 --> 01:43:05.640]  to see. Yeah. Now, I haven't seen any military presidents around here. Maybe they're
[01:43:07.720 --> 01:43:11.720]  focused in Nashville and Memphis or something like that. Those are the Democrat cities.
[01:43:11.720 --> 01:43:19.320]  There is such an overarching political aspect of this, tribal aspect of this. That is also a key
[01:43:19.320 --> 01:43:24.520]  thing to understand. So look at 1980 Fox News website is saying Melania's new, quote unquote,
[01:43:24.520 --> 01:43:29.640]  documentary is a success with seven million in box office profits over the weekend.
[01:43:30.440 --> 01:43:35.240]  Actually, that's not profits. They're a long way from making a profit, as you point out.
[01:43:35.240 --> 01:43:41.160]  That's their gross. That's their take. But they fail to mention that it cost 40 million to make,
[01:43:41.160 --> 01:43:47.240]  actually, 45 million, I think. And maybe 40. Anyway, the total, I think you're right. 40
[01:43:47.240 --> 01:43:53.160]  million. And it was 35 that they spent to advertise it. Because usually, if they got a big budget
[01:43:53.160 --> 01:43:58.120]  picture, they're going to spend about the same amount on PR that they do in making the film.
[01:43:58.680 --> 01:44:02.600]  I've got a lot to say about this Melania film. I hope we've got time to get to it. I'm going to
[01:44:02.600 --> 01:44:07.240]  go through the Epstein stuff pretty quickly, because it's not really anything that we haven't
[01:44:07.240 --> 01:44:11.640]  already known. I mean, there are some new revelations in there about some scoundrels
[01:44:11.640 --> 01:44:19.080]  like Bill Gates. And we see some deeper revelations about scandals like Andrew, the man who was
[01:44:19.080 --> 01:44:25.160]  formerly known as Prince. That's gotten the people in the UK very upset with him. Picture of him on
[01:44:25.160 --> 01:44:30.120]  all fours over a woman who appears to be unconscious on the floor. It's hard to tell with redactions
[01:44:30.120 --> 01:44:36.840]  that are there. But of course, the timeline of what Andrew was saying was totally false. I got
[01:44:36.840 --> 01:44:41.080]  him into a lot of trouble in the UK as people went back and said, well, you said that you
[01:44:41.080 --> 01:44:47.560]  stopped talking to him after you didn't talk to him after he got convicted. But that absolutely
[01:44:47.560 --> 01:44:52.040]  was not true. So they released about three and a half million files. They have said that there's
[01:44:52.040 --> 01:44:57.880]  six million of them. And Todd Blanch, who is the Deputy Attorney General, has said, that's it,
[01:44:57.880 --> 01:45:03.320]  we're not going to have any more probably. So Thomas Massey and Ro Khanna, who put together the
[01:45:03.320 --> 01:45:07.560]  law that they've thumbed their nose at, why would you think that they would comply with
[01:45:08.120 --> 01:45:13.000]  a law that you pass about this type of thing when they thumb their nose at the Constitution
[01:45:13.000 --> 01:45:18.280]  constantly? Anyway, Blanch claimed that some of the tens of thousands of additional documents
[01:45:18.840 --> 01:45:23.640]  were not being made public, both because of the presence of child sexual abuse material.
[01:45:24.600 --> 01:45:29.240]  Well, you know, they have redacted a lot of stuff. I mean, we see people that are there that are all
[01:45:30.200 --> 01:45:36.200]  blurred out. I don't know why that would be an issue, except that it would just be too incendiary
[01:45:36.200 --> 01:45:41.400]  if you see a child that is all blurred out, sitting next to Donald Trump, for example.
[01:45:42.360 --> 01:45:47.240]  So many of the documents made available to the public on Friday did in fact contain names and
[01:45:47.240 --> 01:45:52.040]  other sensitive information about women that Epstein abused. That's what some of the lawyers
[01:45:52.040 --> 01:45:57.480]  of the victims have complained about. They said, look, they redacted information about these
[01:45:57.560 --> 01:46:03.320]  billionaire predators, but they released the names of some of the victims. And as a matter of fact,
[01:46:03.320 --> 01:46:08.360]  some of them, they actually capitalized their name all uppercase so that you would see it there.
[01:46:09.240 --> 01:46:16.200]  So they said it was a betrayal. Yes, it is. Blanch, who previously worked as Trump's personal
[01:46:16.200 --> 01:46:21.800]  criminal defense attorney. I think maybe he's still in that role. This is also the guy who
[01:46:21.800 --> 01:46:25.560]  went to Ghislaine Maxwell and spent a great deal of time with her.
[01:46:25.560 --> 01:46:31.640]  And as a result of that interview and the negotiations, evidently back and forth,
[01:46:31.640 --> 01:46:36.840]  she got moved to Club Fed, which has got very nice accommodations now.
[01:46:36.840 --> 01:46:40.200]  Well, Blanch insisted that the Justice Department did not protect Trump
[01:46:40.760 --> 01:46:44.840]  in its decisions about what to redact and to release. That's the amazing thing.
[01:46:45.960 --> 01:46:50.280]  The fact that they will lie to your face about this stuff has already come out many, many times
[01:46:50.920 --> 01:46:56.200]  how they've tried to redact it. And even if that hadn't, if you don't believe those reports,
[01:46:56.200 --> 01:47:01.720]  you look at the first group of files that they put out and they put it on a website where you
[01:47:01.720 --> 01:47:06.840]  could search it. And if you typed in Trump, it wouldn't find anything. But if you typed in Trump
[01:47:06.840 --> 01:47:15.560]  space, you could find it. And so obviously somebody had put something there to specifically block
[01:47:15.560 --> 01:47:21.240]  searches of Trump. They just did it ineptly. And so that is absolutely not true. The documents
[01:47:21.240 --> 01:47:27.880]  themselves contain 2000 videos, 180,000 images related to Epstein, including a large cache of
[01:47:27.880 --> 01:47:35.720]  commercial pornography in addition to the homemade abuse material depicting Epstein's underage
[01:47:35.720 --> 01:47:42.200]  victims. It appears to contain a large number of uncorrelated tips as well to authorities
[01:47:42.200 --> 01:47:46.200]  from members of the public about Epstein's conduct, several of which come from people
[01:47:46.200 --> 01:47:50.760]  who claimed in their message to have been abused by Donald Trump. And again,
[01:47:52.200 --> 01:48:00.280]  one of these claims that I saw about pedophile rape was hearsay. And so that is not admissible
[01:48:00.280 --> 01:48:06.920]  in court. So somebody said, so-and-so told me that they had been raped by Donald Trump when she was
[01:48:06.920 --> 01:48:14.520]  13 years old. Well, that's not admissible. But the FBI, the same token, the FBI did not investigate
[01:48:14.520 --> 01:48:22.680]  these. Over and over again, you see many of these really outrageous claims that the FBI had no
[01:48:22.680 --> 01:48:29.560]  response to it, that they get something that is really a horrific crime like that and they just
[01:48:29.560 --> 01:48:34.360]  ignore it. That was the response over and over again. Yeah, I saw someone had a tweet saying
[01:48:34.360 --> 01:48:39.080]  exactly that, that someone reposted as a meme. It's like, so I'm seeing that the FBI just gathered
[01:48:39.080 --> 01:48:43.800]  hundreds of documents on these criminals that obviously were committing crimes and didn't do
[01:48:43.800 --> 01:48:48.840]  anything. They just collected them. That's right. Over and over again. And some of the worst crimes
[01:48:48.840 --> 01:48:54.760]  that were here, they just did absolutely nothing. Got top men working on it. To hide it. Yeah,
[01:48:54.760 --> 01:48:59.480]  that's right. So they said there's no index, no explanation of how or when particular documents
[01:48:59.560 --> 01:49:05.000]  are obtained. So the full picture is going to take quite a time for journalists to piece this
[01:49:05.000 --> 01:49:09.880]  together. And like I said before, this is the way they do this stuff. Typically, in the past,
[01:49:09.880 --> 01:49:15.800]  when I get information from the government, they just give me a big data dump of pages, you know,
[01:49:15.800 --> 01:49:22.680]  just pages of printed out. And, you know, where do you start with this? Where's the context? How do
[01:49:22.680 --> 01:49:29.080]  you get any of this stuff in? So even though these are documents that can be sealed, search rather,
[01:49:29.080 --> 01:49:34.760]  because they're computer documents on a website, there's no context for that any of them.
[01:49:34.760 --> 01:49:39.480]  It's unlikely the new material will quell the public's interest in the case or mitigate their
[01:49:39.480 --> 01:49:45.240]  sense that Epstein and his impunity represent a paradigmatic example of the ruling elites,
[01:49:45.240 --> 01:49:50.920]  personal corruption, their imperviousness to law or consequences, and they're back scratching
[01:49:50.920 --> 01:49:58.600]  malignant coziness with each other. Well put. That's from the Guardian. But really, like I said,
[01:49:58.600 --> 01:50:04.680]  the beginning of the program, all of this QAnon stuff and the nonsense that Alex Jones was
[01:50:04.680 --> 01:50:09.240]  saying, Oh, yeah, Trump's rounding up these pedophile rings, and they Michael Flynn and
[01:50:09.240 --> 01:50:14.440]  everything. None of that was true. He's protecting the pedophile. He was part of the pedophile ring,
[01:50:14.440 --> 01:50:18.280]  and he's protecting the pedophile ring. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's exactly
[01:50:18.280 --> 01:50:24.200]  the opposite. And the same thing is going on with the globalist as well. So Epstein was integrated
[01:50:24.200 --> 01:50:28.280]  in the social life of some of the world's most powerful people, to put it mildly. Even after he
[01:50:28.280 --> 01:50:34.120]  was initially convicted of charges relating to child sexual abuse in 2008. As a matter of fact,
[01:50:34.120 --> 01:50:39.400]  it also came out not as much was kind of swamped by this release of information, but
[01:50:39.400 --> 01:50:43.960]  Ghislaine Maxwell was appealing her conviction because she said there's at least 29 other people
[01:50:43.960 --> 01:50:50.520]  that are there. I'm supposedly trafficking these. I was convicted of trafficking these people,
[01:50:51.160 --> 01:50:57.480]  but the ones that I trafficked them to are going free. And that's absolutely true. So
[01:50:58.840 --> 01:51:04.040]  Richard Branson was there. Anytime you're in the area, would love to see you, he wrote to
[01:51:04.040 --> 01:51:09.960]  Epstein, as long as you bring your harem. Elon Musk has previously posted on X at Epstein, quote,
[01:51:09.960 --> 01:51:16.360]  try to me to try to get me to go to his island, and I refused uppercase. But the emails show a
[01:51:16.360 --> 01:51:22.360]  different relationship between Musk and Epstein. In 2012, Musk wrote to Epstein with enthusiasm
[01:51:22.360 --> 01:51:27.160]  about the prospect of visiting the pedophiles former Caribbean island. What day and night will
[01:51:27.160 --> 01:51:33.320]  be the wildest party on your island? I'd like to show up. So he's actually begging Epstein to let
[01:51:33.320 --> 01:51:39.560]  him come to one of the parties. Now, the interesting thing is you got people who are coming to Musk's
[01:51:39.560 --> 01:51:44.920]  defense and saying the very fact that he was demanding that these documents be released says
[01:51:44.920 --> 01:51:51.240]  that he didn't do anything wrong. You think that's the case? So Trump do the same thing?
[01:51:51.320 --> 01:51:58.760]  There seems to be some confusion over it, because the first email between Elon and Epstein is him
[01:51:58.760 --> 01:52:05.000]  asking to go to the party. And Epstein's assistant says, Oh, sorry, you can't come. We're winding
[01:52:05.000 --> 01:52:10.920]  down the operation on the island. So people have been making these memes of Elon wanted to go,
[01:52:10.920 --> 01:52:17.080]  but he was refused. But after that, he did go several times. Yeah, yeah. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson.
[01:52:17.240 --> 01:52:23.080]  I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute. And I want you to hear about Alejandra.
[01:52:23.080 --> 01:52:29.320]  She lives in a remote community with very few resources and little to no health care. So when
[01:52:29.320 --> 01:52:36.120]  Alejandra gets sick, her parents have no real options, no doctors in their community, and no
[01:52:36.120 --> 01:52:43.160]  money for real medical care. By the third day, her body was shutting down. She woke up and just long
[01:52:43.160 --> 01:52:50.760]  enough to tell her mom, I can't take the pain anymore. I can't keep going. Her parents drove
[01:52:50.760 --> 01:52:56.680]  hours to find a doctor who tried everything, but she needed a private hospital. And that was
[01:52:56.680 --> 01:53:03.240]  impossible for her family to afford. And that is when Compassion International stepped in.
[01:53:03.240 --> 01:53:10.200]  Now through compassion, Alejandra was treated. And against all odds, she survived. She lived
[01:53:10.200 --> 01:53:15.960]  because someone just like you took action. Right now, unfortunately, there are children
[01:53:15.960 --> 01:53:22.600]  just like Alejandra who won't survive unless someone like you steps in. Compassion International
[01:53:22.600 --> 01:53:29.080]  partners with local churches, providing children with the support that they need, critical medical
[01:53:29.080 --> 01:53:38.040]  care, plus food, education, and the hope of the gospel. All in Jesus name. So help a child just

[01:54:15.800 --> 01:54:22.360]  Yeah, it's not Gilligan's Island either. Although they probably did have a professor and an actress
[01:54:22.360 --> 01:54:27.640]  and all these other people. They certainly did have the billionaires there. Jay Thurston Howell
[01:54:27.640 --> 01:54:33.080]  was not involved at Epstein Island. He was in a different island. Scandal reveals the
[01:54:33.080 --> 01:54:39.000]  untrustworthiness and the modacity of the very elites that Trump and his movement now represent.
[01:54:39.000 --> 01:54:44.600]  The ones that they were going to get rid of, right? So there's 5,300 plus Epstein files
[01:54:45.160 --> 01:54:52.200]  that mentioned Trump in an exhaustive analysis done by the New York Times. They did a deep
[01:54:52.200 --> 01:54:56.840]  dive into this. They said that they have set up a proprietary search tool. They've probably got some
[01:54:56.840 --> 01:55:02.840]  AI that's running through. So that's how you're going to sort through that level of documents
[01:55:02.840 --> 01:55:08.600]  there. They said they found more than 38,000 references to Trump, his wife, Mar-a-Lago Club
[01:55:08.600 --> 01:55:13.480]  in Florida and other related words and phrases in the latest batch of emails, government files,
[01:55:13.480 --> 01:55:19.400]  videos and other records released by the Justice Department. They said previous installations of
[01:55:19.400 --> 01:55:25.720]  the Epstein files, which the department released late last year, included another 130 files with
[01:55:25.720 --> 01:55:31.880]  Trump-related references. The files are peppered with references to Mr. Trump, a close friend of
[01:55:31.880 --> 01:55:37.960]  Epstein's until the early 2000s. And we've gone over all that kind of stuff before. But again,
[01:55:38.520 --> 01:55:44.520]  many unverified tips are where you find Donald Trump there. And I think one of the most
[01:55:44.520 --> 01:55:50.520]  interesting things is the explanation from Trump's former personal defense attorney,
[01:55:50.520 --> 01:55:57.080]  who is now the assistant, who is now the deputy attorney general, Todd Blanch. And he said,
[01:55:57.080 --> 01:56:02.280]  well, you know, you don't see Trump in there now because they did have several files that were up
[01:56:02.280 --> 01:56:07.880]  there. And people grabbed the links to them. And then later in the day, the Department of Justice
[01:56:07.880 --> 01:56:14.360]  purged those files. They put them up, perhaps not understanding what was in them. And then after
[01:56:14.360 --> 01:56:19.160]  people started saying, look at this one, they pulled those files down. So now Todd Blanch can
[01:56:19.160 --> 01:56:24.520]  say, well, we don't have any files with Trump in it. We got rid of those the next day. So
[01:56:26.200 --> 01:56:31.240]  some of the new files are duplicates of files released last year. But in reality, pretty much,
[01:56:31.240 --> 01:56:39.240]  I don't see too much that is earth-shattering. I mean, we knew of Bill Gates' relationship with
[01:56:39.240 --> 01:56:46.120]  Epstein. There was a lot of talk about the fact that it was at the center of his divorce with
[01:56:46.120 --> 01:56:53.640]  Melinda Gates. What was new that came out was an email going, well, it was actually Jeffrey Epstein
[01:56:54.840 --> 01:56:58.680]  kind of note to self, you know, complaining to himself. And that's what a lot of this stuff is,
[01:56:58.680 --> 01:57:06.280]  Jeffrey Epstein writing things about people that come to his island, kind of his own email
[01:57:06.280 --> 01:57:12.120]  system to himself. And he was talking about how Bill Gates, with tears in his eyes, was asking him
[01:57:12.760 --> 01:57:22.760]  how he could give antibiotics to his wife without her knowing it, you know, surreptitiously, because
[01:57:22.760 --> 01:57:27.880]  he had been exposed to and had caught a sexually transmitted disease. And he was afraid she was
[01:57:27.880 --> 01:57:32.120]  going to get the STD. And that's about the time they got divorced. You would think Gates would
[01:57:32.120 --> 01:57:36.840]  be the expert on drugging people against their will. That's right. No one can tell him anything
[01:57:36.840 --> 01:57:40.680]  about that. We're laughing about that. Say, yo, is that when he started the mosquito stuff?
[01:57:42.200 --> 01:57:49.000]  I haven't heard him talk about give a transferring antibiotics via mosquito, but maybe that's it. We
[01:57:49.000 --> 01:57:54.760]  started thinking about it. So Trump's name was removed from many of these documents. And
[01:57:56.040 --> 01:58:01.480]  this is Jerusalem Post, as a matter of fact, taking screenshots of the Department of Justice
[01:58:01.480 --> 01:58:07.240]  and a page not found after there were already information that came out. And of course,
[01:58:07.240 --> 01:58:12.760]  one of the most salacious things was an event they call the Calendar Girls. And I'm not going
[01:58:12.760 --> 01:58:18.200]  to get into the details of that. But some of the people named at these disgusting parties,
[01:58:18.200 --> 01:58:23.720]  so they got into what happened at some of these parties. And it truly was amazing.
[01:58:24.440 --> 01:58:28.840]  And these things were taken down. Some of the people named the parties were Elon Musk,
[01:58:29.400 --> 01:58:36.600]  Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Alan Dershowitz, and attorney Bob Shapiro.
[01:58:37.480 --> 01:58:45.320]  And so all the usual suspects, isn't it? One Epstein survivor was really angry about the DOJ
[01:58:45.320 --> 01:58:51.720]  redactions, as I said earlier, the fact that they would cover up so much of this information about
[01:58:52.520 --> 01:58:58.040]  predators and what happened and then not redact information about victims.
[01:58:59.400 --> 01:59:04.040]  And so that is also a common complaint that we're seeing here. One of the things that Epstein said,
[01:59:04.760 --> 01:59:12.040]  in one of these emails to Larry Summers, he said, the world does not understand how dumb Trump is.
[01:59:13.080 --> 01:59:18.280]  This is a guy who hung out with them. They were like best friends for about 15 years or something
[01:59:18.280 --> 01:59:22.760]  like that. And he says, nobody understands just how dumb this guy is. Well, we're starting to get
[01:59:23.640 --> 01:59:29.480]  a clue, I think, even some of his supporters are starting to get a clue about how stupid Trump is.
[01:59:30.120 --> 01:59:36.920]  And then there's this Epstein's sex empire was a KGB honey trap. Let me tell you, I think this is
[01:59:36.920 --> 01:59:43.960]  a misdirection to steer people away from Mossad's influence there. The same thing was said about
[01:59:43.960 --> 01:59:50.520]  Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell. He was heavily involved with Russia, the KGB.
[01:59:51.480 --> 01:59:59.320]  He was giving information to British service MI5 or MI6. I can't remember which is which,
[02:00:00.600 --> 02:00:05.240]  but he was trading information to them. And this is something we saw from
[02:00:05.240 --> 02:00:10.360]  Jonathan Pollard as well. Remember when Jonathan Pollard stole these very sensitive secrets
[02:00:10.360 --> 02:00:15.480]  that would compromise US military and US military personnel's lives,
[02:00:16.360 --> 02:00:23.800]  that he gave that information to Israel. Israel then exchanged, used that information to get
[02:00:23.800 --> 02:00:29.240]  Israeli prisoners out of Russian jails. And so they used it for their own purposes. They had
[02:00:29.240 --> 02:00:37.560]  their back channels with the Russians as well. Robert Maxwell was seen by many to be available
[02:00:37.560 --> 02:00:41.880]  to anyone who would pay him. So he would work with British intelligence, he would work with
[02:00:41.880 --> 02:00:47.960]  Russian intelligence, but he was primarily a Mossad guy. And when he died, they gave him honors and
[02:00:47.960 --> 02:00:52.760]  so forth as part of that. So I think that that absolutely was a part of this. And I think when
[02:00:52.760 --> 02:00:58.200]  you look at Jeffrey Epstein, he's somebody who's going to work with any of these disgusting spy
[02:00:58.200 --> 02:01:03.640]  organizations. Yes, Lance. And the idea that if there's a connection to the KGB, then it couldn't
[02:01:03.640 --> 02:01:09.160]  be Mossad is ridiculous. These organizations all work together, CIA, KGB and Mossad.
[02:01:10.200 --> 02:01:19.880]  That guy that Trump recently pardoned, he was getting information that he got from the US
[02:01:19.880 --> 02:01:25.320]  government and gave to Israel that they sold to the KGB. Yep, absolutely. And it's not just the
[02:01:25.320 --> 02:01:30.840]  Russian KGB, it's also Russian mafia. What they were doing, this whole thing was a honey trap.
[02:01:31.400 --> 02:01:36.760]  And all this information was being sold by Jeffrey Epstein to whoever was going to pay him for it.
[02:01:36.760 --> 02:01:40.840]  And they all were anxious to get information on these billionaires in order to blackmail them,
[02:01:40.840 --> 02:01:46.680]  and politicians as well. So I think that is a misdirection. At the center of it is Mossad,
[02:01:46.680 --> 02:01:53.000]  but also you have connected the CIA, the KGB, probably British intelligence and Russian gangs
[02:01:53.000 --> 02:01:59.880]  as well. Now, some of the really horrific implications there of Donald Trump that were
[02:01:59.880 --> 02:02:05.800]  taken down, within 20 minutes, they were gone. There were accusations, multiple accusations of
[02:02:05.800 --> 02:02:13.000]  rape, as well as pedophile rape. And I said, once you look at the allegations, you can see why these
[02:02:13.000 --> 02:02:20.840]  documents were put back under wraps. There were pedophile allegations, like I said before,
[02:02:20.840 --> 02:02:26.680]  one of them was a friend told me that this happened again, that would not be admissible.
[02:02:26.680 --> 02:02:31.960]  You could say that that was the purpose of the Department of Justice taking it down. However,
[02:02:32.680 --> 02:02:39.000]  when you look at the response from the FBI, the response was, we didn't do anything about it,
[02:02:39.000 --> 02:02:43.320]  right? Over and over again, that's the thing. So that's where the problem is. The fact that
[02:02:43.320 --> 02:02:48.920]  the FBI is not investigating any of these allegations, even though something that is
[02:02:48.920 --> 02:02:55.000]  a friend told me that this happened to someone else, a friend of theirs, that's not something
[02:02:55.000 --> 02:02:58.040]  that you would get an indictment for, but it's certainly something that you would hope
[02:02:59.240 --> 02:03:04.280]  in a better world they would investigate, but not in this world. Another complaint tells us
[02:03:04.280 --> 02:03:11.800]  that at age 16, while modeling, a girl attended big orgy parties at Epstein's New York residence,
[02:03:12.840 --> 02:03:19.240]  Victoria's Secret Models, and people like Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. And I said this all
[02:03:19.240 --> 02:03:25.160]  along, if you look at Trump and the Clintons, they were pals, they were buddies, he gave them money,
[02:03:25.720 --> 02:03:31.800]  and they partied together, all the rest of the stuff. And of course, they have the same view
[02:03:32.600 --> 02:03:35.960]  of the Constitution, same view of the Second Amendment and all the rest of the stuff.
[02:03:35.960 --> 02:03:40.920]  Trump is a tax and spend Democrat when you get to the policies, but when you look at the rest of
[02:03:40.920 --> 02:03:46.280]  stuff, he is as degenerate as the Clintons themselves. The complaint further claimed to
[02:03:46.280 --> 02:03:52.680]  have been victimized at a Trump-owned golf course in California between 1995 and 1996.
[02:03:54.680 --> 02:04:00.600]  Allegations of orgies in which some girls went missing, rumored to have been murdered and buried
[02:04:00.600 --> 02:04:05.480]  at the facility, complainant reported being threatened by Trump's then head of security
[02:04:05.480 --> 02:04:11.960]  that if she ever talked of what went on there or who she saw, she would end up as fertilizer
[02:04:12.840 --> 02:04:19.640]  for the back nine holes, just like the other women. Of course, he uses a much different
[02:04:21.000 --> 02:04:27.080]  term for the women. Then there was the alleged murder of a newborn child. One woman said
[02:04:28.040 --> 02:04:34.520]  she was trafficked and raped when she was 13 years old. She was pregnant in 1984. She also
[02:04:34.520 --> 02:04:39.640]  reported that there were high-profile individuals involved in her sex trafficking, and the murder
[02:04:39.640 --> 02:04:45.480]  and the disposal of her newborn daughter. She reported that Trump participated regularly in
[02:04:45.480 --> 02:04:52.520]  paying money to force her into prostitution. Trump was present when her uncle murdered
[02:04:52.520 --> 02:04:59.640]  her newborn child, she said. The response from the Justice Department was no contact made.
[02:05:00.680 --> 02:05:07.320]  They didn't bother to look. Another one, the victim who was a minor, was drugged
[02:05:07.880 --> 02:05:19.160]  and wound up on a bed when she came to. She was naked and had $300 on the bed. In 2000-2005,
[02:05:19.800 --> 02:05:26.520]  Sir Ivan Wilzig hosted a party where Epstein, Sammy Sosa, and Trump were in attendance.
[02:05:27.400 --> 02:05:31.240]  Patty LaBelle's PR agent stood at the door at the party. The caller met an individual who was
[02:05:31.240 --> 02:05:36.040]  approximately 18 to 23 years of age, who was brought in from Oklahoma for a modeling job,
[02:05:36.040 --> 02:05:43.080]  but then sold to a man in France. Several women were being auctioned, and a woman,
[02:05:43.080 --> 02:05:50.200]  possibly known as Colette LNU, was the madam. And so, again, the Department of Justice response is
[02:05:50.840 --> 02:05:55.720]  a phone number that was provided was bad, so we didn't follow through with anything else on this.
[02:05:56.520 --> 02:06:03.560]  And then the calendar girls thing, which I really can't go into any details here on the
[02:06:04.520 --> 02:06:09.240]  on the broadcast. This was a party that was at Mar-a-Lago. It's calendar girls. They were
[02:06:09.240 --> 02:06:16.040]  bringing in young children, and Trump was the one kind of MC who would auction them off.
[02:06:17.800 --> 02:06:21.640]  And some of the things that they were doing to these girls that's alleged in this
[02:06:22.600 --> 02:06:31.320]  is really unbelievable. But those who are present, Elon Musk, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump,
[02:06:31.320 --> 02:06:37.080]  Eric Trump, Alan Dershowitz, as I said before, they were there. The calendar girl thing is one
[02:06:37.080 --> 02:06:42.040]  of the most heinous revelations that are here. And of course, those things have now been removed
[02:06:42.680 --> 02:06:51.000]  by the so-called Department of Justice. So this is, in a sense, it's not really all that different.
[02:06:52.040 --> 02:06:58.360]  But I think it is kind of interesting that in the wake of all of this, Trump's response is to say,
[02:06:58.360 --> 02:07:03.320]  I'm going to sue Michael Wolf. And I've said this before, what is he going to sue Michael Wolf for?
[02:07:03.320 --> 02:07:09.320]  He says, well, he was colluding with Jeffrey Epstein to harm me when I was running for president
[02:07:09.320 --> 02:07:15.640]  in 2015. What he said in the emails when he was talking to Epstein, what Trump is referring to,
[02:07:16.200 --> 02:07:22.200]  is he said, you're going to be the Achilles heel of Trump. But he goes, don't respond to this stuff.
[02:07:22.200 --> 02:07:26.680]  Just let him hang himself when they ask him the questions. You don't have to do anything.
[02:07:26.680 --> 02:07:31.960]  And so I don't see where Trump has any basis to sue him on that. What I think is interesting
[02:07:32.760 --> 02:07:40.520]  is the dog that did not bark, because what Michael Wolf has said is that, and what Melania
[02:07:40.520 --> 02:07:47.000]  has sued other people who are threatened to sue people, billions of dollars, because Michael
[02:07:47.000 --> 02:07:53.880]  Wolf said that Jeffrey Epstein told him that he had brought the two of them together, and that
[02:07:53.880 --> 02:08:01.160]  Melania was one of Jeffrey Epstein's girls. Well, she has threatened to sue people who reported
[02:08:01.160 --> 02:08:06.200]  what Michael Wolf said, but she didn't sue Michael Wolf. Finally, they threatened to sue Michael
[02:08:06.200 --> 02:08:09.000]  Wolf, and he says, well, I'm not going to wait for you to sue me. I'm going to sue you for
[02:08:09.800 --> 02:08:15.160]  trying to intimidate me. And when Trump talked about this, he didn't talk about what Michael
[02:08:15.160 --> 02:08:20.360]  Wolf said about Melania. Instead, he just talked about what they said about how Jeffrey Epstein
[02:08:20.360 --> 02:08:24.920]  was going to be a problem for Trump because of the long friendship. So I think that is kind of
[02:08:25.480 --> 02:08:32.200]  interesting here. And again, see, Bannon released some of his interviews with Jeffrey Epstein.
[02:08:32.760 --> 02:08:38.760]  He's got 15 hours that remain unreleased. I think what he did release was one or two hours,
[02:08:38.760 --> 02:08:44.200]  but he decided that he was going to capitalize on all this publicity as well. I mean, we stop
[02:08:44.200 --> 02:08:50.120]  and think about it. One of the people that has got their neck on the line here is a Goldman Sachs
[02:08:50.120 --> 02:08:56.760]  lawyer, but Steve Bannon worked for Goldman Sachs. He tried to help Jeffrey Epstein in terms of PR.
[02:08:56.760 --> 02:09:03.560]  How does he have any credibility with anybody? I just don't understand that at all. So I want to
[02:09:03.560 --> 02:09:08.760]  take a little bit of time here before I get any bogged down anymore with some of these allegations
[02:09:08.760 --> 02:09:12.600]  and talk about what really happened with the Melania film, because I think that's kind of
[02:09:12.600 --> 02:09:18.040]  interesting as well. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson, and I want to be honest with you for a second
[02:09:18.040 --> 02:09:24.200]  about how an act of compassion really feels. A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner
[02:09:24.200 --> 02:09:30.200]  with an amazing organization called Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor
[02:09:30.200 --> 02:09:37.560]  a child in need. It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act
[02:09:37.560 --> 02:09:43.880]  would change my life as well. I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front
[02:09:43.880 --> 02:09:49.640]  of my eyes, going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the health care and
[02:09:49.640 --> 02:09:56.920]  education she needs to reach her God-given full potential. I got to be a part of that change,
[02:09:56.920 --> 02:10:02.280]  and the light of that compassion not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me.
[02:10:02.920 --> 02:10:10.520]  That is the power of compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself
[02:10:10.520 --> 02:10:16.120]  and change literally a child's life. Change the world, and you also change yourself.

[02:10:56.840 --> 02:11:02.200]  implicated in terms of pictures, new pictures that came out in this release was the director
[02:11:02.200 --> 02:11:10.280]  of her film, Brett Ratner. There's a picture of him in this new document, so a woman on the couch
[02:11:10.280 --> 02:11:16.200]  next to Jeffrey Epstein. I think it's kind of interesting. These guys are so corrupt. They
[02:11:16.200 --> 02:11:21.000]  sit there, they pose with these women, many of them underage, and they're waving to the camera
[02:11:21.000 --> 02:11:27.720]  and all this kind of stuff at a party. These pictures that have come out with us, not necessarily
[02:11:27.720 --> 02:11:33.000]  something that was taken with a hidden camera to blackmail them later. I mean, they're actively
[02:11:33.000 --> 02:11:38.600]  posing and waving to 2026. Hey, all of you in 2026. This is what I was doing 20 years ago.
[02:11:39.880 --> 02:11:50.200]  This guy has directed some major budget films. He directed the 2006 X-Men film, which, I don't
[02:11:50.200 --> 02:11:54.360]  know, it had a big cast in it, but I don't know how it did in terms of box office. In terms of
[02:11:54.360 --> 02:12:02.440]  critics, it got like 6.6. He also did Dwayne Johnson, The Rock. He did a Hercules film with
[02:12:02.440 --> 02:12:11.880]  him, which got a 6.0 on IMDb. He's done a lot of films, but not a lot of good films. He was somebody
[02:12:11.880 --> 02:12:18.840]  whose career basically was ended in all the Me Too stuff back in 2017. A lot of allegations of sexual
[02:12:18.840 --> 02:12:24.840]  misconduct. This is his first rodeo since his sexual misconduct stuff. They bring him back to
[02:12:24.840 --> 02:12:33.480]  do Melania. How appropriate. What else I think is interesting about this is that two-thirds of the
[02:12:33.480 --> 02:12:40.280]  people who are on the credits are asking to have their names removed from credits, and it's almost
[02:12:40.280 --> 02:12:45.640]  as many redactions as we've got in the Epstein documents, isn't it? I think that tells us a
[02:12:45.640 --> 02:12:50.280]  great deal about this. But of course, the money that it made, it's being portrayed by the right
[02:12:50.840 --> 02:12:57.960]  as a vindication, even though people have savaged it in terms of the critics. It was projected
[02:12:58.920 --> 02:13:01.720]  initially to only be about three million, they thought it was going to do. Then,
[02:13:02.600 --> 02:13:07.480]  as some of the initial box office figures started coming in, they projected it up to eight million.
[02:13:07.480 --> 02:13:12.840]  Turns out that it did seven million. But again, this is, and you were right earlier, it was
[02:13:12.840 --> 02:13:19.480]  $40 million to make the film, another $35 million on marketing, so $75 million.
[02:13:21.400 --> 02:13:26.040]  It's dying fast at the box office. I guess we could say Melania doesn't have legs.
[02:13:29.880 --> 02:13:36.440]  This is what Maureen Dowd had to say. The riddle of the Slovenian sphinx has been solved. It turns
[02:13:36.440 --> 02:13:43.160]  out there was no riddle, no enigma, no mystery, no dark anguish. Basically, there was no there there,
[02:13:43.160 --> 02:13:49.640]  to paraphrase Gertrude Stein, right? Added that the movie shows Melania exactly where she wants
[02:13:49.640 --> 02:13:56.600]  to be in the bosom of a corrupt family that is prostituting the people's house. Dowd also said,
[02:13:57.320 --> 02:14:01.400]  talked about the amount of money that was there, said this is particularly gross given the fact
[02:14:01.400 --> 02:14:10.440]  that Amazon is engaged in mass layoffs. They've laid off 16,000 people. And he is also severely
[02:14:10.440 --> 02:14:16.680]  cutting back at Amazon. He's severely cutting back in the Washington Post as well. So scenes
[02:14:16.680 --> 02:14:22.200]  from the movie, according to Dowd, included Melania persuading Trump to declare himself a unifier.
[02:14:24.520 --> 02:14:30.280]  I can say that is definitely not one thing he is. He is the biggest divider I've ever seen. She
[02:14:30.280 --> 02:14:34.840]  seems oblivious to the fact that his rhetoric and policies are designed to enrage and to divide,
[02:14:34.840 --> 02:14:40.440]  said Maureen Dowd. Another scene, Melania and her son Baron do not want to get out of the limo
[02:14:40.440 --> 02:14:45.000]  during one of the inaugural parades over fears of political violence. Again, without acknowledging
[02:14:45.720 --> 02:14:50.200]  that her husband has been provoking violence, and we can see that now everywhere essentially,
[02:14:51.160 --> 02:14:57.480]  she has a warm chat at one point about her immigrant roots with a designer who is an immigrant
[02:14:57.480 --> 02:15:03.160]  from Laos, ignoring that her husband has torn America apart. But you know what? This guy that
[02:15:03.160 --> 02:15:08.280]  ICE just kidnapped and drug out in 10 degree weather in his underwear, who had been a citizen
[02:15:08.840 --> 02:15:15.560]  of the US since 95 and had never had any issues with the law, he was from Laos. How about that?
[02:15:15.560 --> 02:15:22.120]  Maybe he should be in the movie, you think? Well, again, MAGA is beating his chest and saying,
[02:15:22.200 --> 02:15:27.960]  this is great. 99% of the audience loves it. Can you imagine anybody going to see this thing
[02:15:27.960 --> 02:15:33.400]  that isn't already a dyed in the wool fan of Melania? Here's the official trailer.
[02:15:34.440 --> 02:15:41.320]  Here we go again. Yeah, that hat she wore. I was going to, if any of you have seen Spy
[02:15:41.320 --> 02:15:46.280]  versus Spy from Mad Magazine, I was going to put up a meme and say who wore it best.
[02:15:46.360 --> 02:15:50.680]  Okay, so I guess it will be that of Peacemaker. Peacemaker and in the fire.
[02:15:57.080 --> 02:16:00.040]  Yeah, well, that's all I can take of this vanity piece here. But you know,
[02:16:00.040 --> 02:16:04.200]  I imagine she had a lot to say to children because she's got a lot of parental advice.
[02:16:05.480 --> 02:16:11.480]  Does he wear night vision goggles that make everyone green, everything green?
[02:16:12.440 --> 02:16:18.040]  I bet he'd like that because Santa likes green. She should have done Green Acres, the sequel.
[02:16:20.280 --> 02:16:24.680]  Because he might like red better. And then of course, she knows what our children need.
[02:16:24.680 --> 02:16:31.480]  They need AI. As leaders and parents, we must manage AI's growth responsibly.
[02:16:32.520 --> 02:16:41.080]  During this primitive stage, it is our duty to treat AI as we would our own children.
[02:16:41.880 --> 02:16:48.520]  Empowering, but with watchful guidance. Yeah, yeah, treat it as our own children. As a matter
[02:16:48.520 --> 02:16:52.120]  of fact, you got all the usual suspects and sycophants out there. People like
[02:16:52.680 --> 02:16:57.800]  Pastor Robert Jeffries of First Baptist Dallas. This is a guy who was working with...
[02:16:58.600 --> 02:17:03.720]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson. And I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of
[02:17:03.720 --> 02:17:09.880]  compassion really feels. A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing
[02:17:09.880 --> 02:17:16.520]  organization called Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[02:17:16.520 --> 02:17:23.400]  It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as
[02:17:23.400 --> 02:17:30.200]  well. I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes, going from

[02:17:36.440 --> 02:17:43.240]  her God given full potential. I got to be a part of that change and the light of that compassion
[02:17:43.240 --> 02:17:49.960]  not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me. That is the power of compassion.
[02:17:49.960 --> 02:17:56.920]  The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's

[02:18:38.200 --> 02:18:45.880]  details. Curtis Chang, if you remember, and Curtis Chang was given a large amount of money
[02:18:45.880 --> 02:18:52.760]  from the Trump administration to get pastors to convince people that A, this is not the
[02:18:52.760 --> 02:18:57.080]  mark of the beast or anything, preparing people for the mark of the beast. It's not harmful.
[02:18:57.080 --> 02:19:03.400]  You need to do this to love your neighbor and on and on and on. Literally injecting the Kool-Aid
[02:19:03.400 --> 02:19:09.240]  into people and so now he's out there praising this film and saying everybody needs to go see
[02:19:09.240 --> 02:19:14.120]  this. So that's what they're getting and that's going to last for about a week or whatever. But
[02:19:14.920 --> 02:19:20.680]  they said this best opening for a documentary, well they spent a lot of money to their people
[02:19:20.680 --> 02:19:25.800]  to get them to show up. But is it going to make a profit? Far from it. As a matter of fact,
[02:19:25.800 --> 02:19:30.920]  I went back and I looked at they want to talk about the amount of box office that took in.
[02:19:30.920 --> 02:19:35.560]  So I thought let's go back and look at documentaries, which that's a tremendous
[02:19:35.560 --> 02:19:41.800]  amount of money for a documentary. And so I went back and looked over the weekend. What is the
[02:19:41.800 --> 02:19:48.440]  average and median budget over the last 20 years for documentaries? And what is the average and
[02:19:48.440 --> 02:19:52.840]  median box office for these documentaries over the last 20 years? And I thought that was very
[02:19:52.840 --> 02:19:59.640]  interesting because what we see is that the average budget was approximately 500,000. Of
[02:19:59.640 --> 02:20:05.320]  course averages are going to be moved up if you got one big budget film that comes in. So if you
[02:20:05.320 --> 02:20:09.960]  look at the median budget, in other words, how many half of them above this amount and half of
[02:20:09.960 --> 02:20:17.960]  them under that amount, that takes it down to 350,000. They spent 40 million, not a half a
[02:20:18.040 --> 02:20:23.880]  million, not a third of a million, but 40 million for this documentary. And then what do they
[02:20:23.880 --> 02:20:34.040]  typically make? Well, it turns out that again, the average budget was 500,000 and the average
[02:20:34.600 --> 02:20:41.000]  box office was 658,000. But if you look at the median budget, and this is over the last 20 years
[02:20:41.000 --> 02:20:47.320]  averaging together documentaries, if you look at the median budget, 350,000 and they would make
[02:20:47.320 --> 02:20:57.560]  under 100,000, she was paid 28 million of the $40 million budget. See, that seemed fishy to you.
[02:20:58.120 --> 02:21:04.680]  Does that seem like a box office triumph to you? You know, we didn't get to gold and silver today
[02:21:04.680 --> 02:21:11.400]  and are really doing, let me just, let's hold it a little bit here, Lance. And let me talk a little
[02:21:11.400 --> 02:21:16.680]  bit about gold and silver before we end the program, because that was a big deal over the weekend.
[02:21:17.320 --> 02:21:25.720]  You had a tremendous sell-off and you had gold, which for the month of January had gone up just
[02:21:25.720 --> 02:21:33.880]  in the month of January 29.5%. It went down 10% over the weekend. Silver had gone up over the
[02:21:33.880 --> 02:21:40.120]  month of January 68.5%. It went down by 30%. As a matter of fact, I had somebody who was
[02:21:40.680 --> 02:21:45.160]  not a fan of gold and silver, and they sent that to me and said, laughing,
[02:21:45.400 --> 02:21:50.840]  look, silver is down by like 22%. Well, it's actually down by 30%. But that was just in one
[02:21:50.840 --> 02:21:57.240]  month. What is it year over year? Well, even with this big drop in sell-off over the weekend,
[02:21:57.880 --> 02:22:05.240]  70% gold was still up year over year. And of course, it is still up even over the month. I
[02:22:05.240 --> 02:22:10.440]  mean, if it went up nearly 30% in the month and then dropped 10%, it's still up for the month.
[02:22:10.440 --> 02:22:17.320]  Same thing about silver, up nearly 69% and then dropped by 30%, still up significantly
[02:22:17.320 --> 02:22:25.400]  in just one month. But gold and silver, gold year to year, up 70%, silver year to year, up 166%.
[02:22:27.000 --> 02:22:32.360]  What is Bitcoin doing, for example? Well, month to month, Bitcoin was down 12%.
[02:22:32.520 --> 02:22:42.360]  Year to year, Bitcoin is down 22% from where it was last year. The bottom line is that if you really
[02:22:42.360 --> 02:22:49.800]  think that Trump's pick at the Federal Reserve is going to fix the fiat dollar, it's going to fix
[02:22:49.800 --> 02:22:54.520]  the budget deficit and all these other structural problems that have been accumulating, if you think
[02:22:54.520 --> 02:23:00.680]  it's really going to fix the flight away from the dollar after what Biden and Trump have done
[02:23:00.680 --> 02:23:05.800]  with sanctions, I don't think that's going to happen. I see this as another one of these
[02:23:05.800 --> 02:23:14.360]  issues, just like Yukon Cornelius said, commercial with Yukon Cornelius, because everybody was
[02:23:14.360 --> 02:23:19.000]  thinking that Bitcoin was going to be the way to go, because Trump is going to do everything to fix
[02:23:19.000 --> 02:23:24.760]  Bitcoin. And so we saw a dip in the price of gold and silver that lasted for a few weeks.
[02:23:25.160 --> 02:23:31.880]  And then people realized that Trump really wasn't going to do this Bitcoin reserve. I hope he
[02:23:31.880 --> 02:23:40.680]  doesn't. That'd be tremendous pumping up and waste of taxpayer money. But after people realized that
[02:23:40.680 --> 02:23:46.280]  wasn't going to happen, then gold and silver resumed in terms of reacting to the real world
[02:23:46.280 --> 02:23:50.920]  that is out there. I think the same thing is going to happen here. When you have something that goes
[02:23:51.880 --> 02:23:57.480]  up, the tremendous amount that gold and silver went up, there's going to be a retracing and a
[02:23:57.480 --> 02:24:01.560]  consolidation. And then I think it's going to continue to go because I don't think any of the
[02:24:01.560 --> 02:24:06.200]  fundamentals have changed. As I said at the very beginning of the program, changing the chair of
[02:24:06.200 --> 02:24:12.280]  the Federal Reserve is no different than rearranging the tech chairs on the Titanic. Folks were still
[02:24:12.280 --> 02:24:18.520]  headed for the iceberg. And they're not talking about that. They're not warning anybody about that.
[02:24:19.000 --> 02:24:26.200]  We are nearer by God to this financial crash and implosion than we have ever been. And so again,
[02:24:26.200 --> 02:24:32.280]  if you want to get into something that is when you look at some of the alternatives, why are
[02:24:32.280 --> 02:24:36.680]  central banks and others buying gold rather than treasury bills? It's not just because of the
[02:24:36.680 --> 02:24:42.440]  weaponization of financial markets. It's also because the interest rates right now are at about
[02:24:42.440 --> 02:24:46.680]  three to three and a half percent that they're paying people on these treasury bills. And yet
[02:24:49.160 --> 02:24:54.440]  that's about what inflation is. So a best case example is maybe you're going to break even at
[02:24:54.440 --> 02:24:59.400]  zero growth if you're investing in that. And then what's the other alternative? Are you going to
[02:24:59.400 --> 02:25:03.800]  invest in the stock market? There's only a couple of stocks that are going up. And the stocks that
[02:25:03.800 --> 02:25:10.280]  are going up look like they are involved in the irrational exuberance over the artificial
[02:25:10.280 --> 02:25:15.640]  intelligence market. I think the best approach, as Tony Aarderman has said many times, is dollar
[02:25:15.640 --> 02:25:24.200]  cost averaging. Gradually accumulate this stuff over time to even out these spikes and troughs
[02:25:24.200 --> 02:25:29.480]  and things like that. Get it over a period of time. You can do that as a regular savings program
[02:25:29.480 --> 02:25:34.440]  with Wolfpack, which is something that nobody else I know of does. And you can find where all

[02:26:43.080 --> 02:26:48.120]  They created common core that dumbed down our children. They created common past to track and
[02:26:48.120 --> 02:26:55.640]  control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.
[02:26:57.160 --> 02:27:00.840]  They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
[02:27:01.800 --> 02:27:06.360]  But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
[02:27:08.520 --> 02:27:12.120]  That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away.
[02:27:12.920 --> 02:27:19.000]  Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know
[02:27:19.000 --> 02:27:26.120]  everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose
