Hey everybody, Jason Burmes here and we've got another great show for you lined up today.
We're going to get deep in the weeds by talking Antifa, Pritzker, the National Guard, the IRS, and so much more.
Buckle up and get ready to make sense of the madness.
I'm here on YouTube TV making sense, and we're not sure.
Monday, Jason Burns.
I'm doing well.
How are you?
I am good.
I am good.
We scrapped the normal show that we do on Fridays, and we kind of just had fun and had a good time the first couple hours today.
So yeah, we're foot loose and fancy free, Jason Burmes.
Well, I caught some of the ACDC, and that's always good in the morning, right?
Oh, yeah.
You got to crank her up to 10 and just let her rip.
Absolutely.
Heck yeah.
So now you had a big trip out to Vegas last week or you were headed there, I think late after we talked to you on Friday because you were out here in studio.
You know, how did that go?
Yeah, I mean, without giving away too much of what I'm doing, it's kind of outside of my purview of independent media, etc.
But it was the most nightmarish trip that I have ever taken for in my entire life.
No, you know, I didn't go there to gamble.
Generally, when I'm sent somewhere to work, I know this is a novel idea, but I work.
And this whole thing from start to finish, from the package that was left at my house and did not have the proper things in them that I got when I left your show because I was in studio in Erie to running around to try to fix it, to not fixing it, to being on one of the worst streets in Vegas.
My only saving grace, and this is why, folks, you want to make friends out there, was a buddy of mine, happened to be a fraternity brother, that I've known for 26 years now.
And at least by the end of the trip on Sunday evening, we were in a casino at a comedy club getting the laughs in before I hit the airport to head back to the Quad Cities.
Okay, so we'll get more details coming out after what you were doing for work is, you know, released.
Yes, yes.
You know, it's out there, but it's certainly not anything I've told my audience about.
And quite frankly, Aaron, when I did get home and do a broadcast, my broadcast was all about the love for my audience for saving me from jobs like this over the last several years.
And I am hoping that they can save me from jobs like this in the future as well.
We've still got our head held high and are trying to be remonetized on YouTube.
This is about the longest stretch I've gone without being denied.
I believe I reapplied somewhere around the 22nd of September.
Usually it takes about 48 hours to say hells to the no.
But here we are without a decision.
And that would be a total and complete game changer.
If I were even with my niche and small following, that really does make a significant difference in broadcasting via independent media.
If you're not able to monetize on YouTube, it's just about impossible to monetize anywhere else.
X is almost an impossibility to monetize on, despite my numbers, which are pretty good in the following department.
I couldn't even monetize that channel if my engagement was 10 times the current engagement, the way that that is set up, correct?
And with Rumble, I mean, it's always good to have choices, and I am monetized on Rumble.
I spend about $25 a month for the premium Rumble with multiple channels, and I make anywhere from about $60 to $75 a month minus that $25.
So the Rumble's not too lucrative unless you're living on penny candy.
Okay.
Well, you know, it's that's what they call alternative media, right?
That's what they say.
Indie media, alternative media.
But, you know, when I look at some of the alternative media, I now see them in the halls or at least what's considered the alternative media in the halls of the White House.
You know, Trump had that big forum with people like Savannah Hernandez and Jack Pesobic, and these are certainly people that have been in these circles for some time.
And it is alarming to me in the sense that we're calling everything terrorism now.
And I know that I'm probably not going to be in agreement with a lot of people.
I know a lot of people cheered and were like, yeah, when the president declared quote-unquote Antifa a terrorist organization.
Let me assure you, that was an utterly horrific move that is positive in no way, shape, or form.
You see, here's the problem, Aaron.
When you deem somebody or rather a broad group of people, and a broad group of people, by the way, that does not have a national or international identity.
It doesn't have an LLC.
It is a very, very broad spectrum.
When you do that, you take away an individual's right to due process and therefore their constitutional protections, which is a big no-no.
You see, when you have somebody that lights a fire, we call it arson.
When you have somebody that takes something off of a private individual or a corporation's property and destroys it, that's destruction of property.
We have laws on the books for all of these individuals that are breaking these laws while protesting.
They've been around forever.
And we do not need to circumvent the Constitution to try to strong arm others and call them domestic terrorists.
It may feel good in the moment.
You may not like what they're doing, but they should get due process as well.
This was a huge contention that I had with the likes of Tucker Carlson, aka the Tuckens, when he was still on Fox News.
I don't know if you remember, but back when they were ripping down a lot of statues in D.C. and beyond, you had the Albert Pike statue.
We briefly talked about it here.
Well, you could have charged people, they were on video camera, with all sorts of destruction of property, maybe even potentially inciting a riot from that evidence.
And yet that was never done.
Now, I've had people who live in the Portland areas saying, well, you obviously don't live here.
And I say to, well, I just say to them, it doesn't matter if I don't live there, just because your local law enforcement is not doing their job and investigating,
prosecuting these people and putting them in the system doesn't mean that you put quote unquote more laws on the book or even worse, put something like this executive order out there that strips people of their inherent rights.
They are separate issues.
And unfortunately, people have been fooled into thinking that they are the same issue.
I assure you, they are not.
And if you think this ends with the Trump administration and Antifa, you can be 1,000% sure, no matter what administration comes after him, whether it be conservative, liberal,
somewhere in between, they will continue to abuse these powers because when these type of things pass and then they get past the Supreme Court, they are almost never, ever, ever repealed.
And that's why Benjamin Franklin said, those that would trade their freedom for security deserve neither.
Well, he also said that beer is proof that God loves us.
So that's probably my favorite Ben Franklin quote.
But because, you know, it's Friday and all.
But so yeah, the Antifa thing popped up in Portland.
I guess there was like a, and I don't even know, you know, because I guess a group could get together and call themselves Antifa.
I don't know.
But I don't know what, I don't know if you sign up somewhere or how you get into that.
You don't.
That's the thing you don't sign up.
I think people, yeah, well, they've been harassing people.
This group has, that calls themselves Antiva.
They've been harassing people in downtown Portland for quite a while.
National Guard troops showed up now that the state fought them off or got a judge to throw them out.
But as soon as they showed up, that group of Antifas disappeared.
And now they're probably back.
I don't know.
And I don't know if these groups are popping up in other cities or what's going on.
We did just have a super weird thing happen up in Rochelle, Illinois, which is not a very big town.
I think Rochelle is maybe, I don't know, 30,000, 40,000 people, something like that.
I mean, it's not huge, maybe less.
Anyway, Saturday night, there was a large group of people all dressed in black that were trying to get cars to stop, like stopping cars on the road.
And one of the guys, he was driving by, he didn't know what they were doing or why they were trying to get him to stop.
He didn't see that as a good thing.
So he drove around them.
They shot at him.
They put eight bullet holes in his car.
And then once the police showed up, the group dispersed, you know, they didn't find anybody.
And so we have like this weird, you know, and that's that's pretty close to home.
That's only about an hour away.
So I thought that was kind of weird.
But yeah, to be honest, I don't know what the hell Antifa is.
Well, you shouldn't.
I just Googled it while you were talking, and they're described as, what's that, Mike?
Yeah, I just looked at it.
Oh, Mike's looking at it.
I was curious, too.
Yeah, it says Antifa is a, if you look it up, it says they are a terrorist threat, a militarist anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the U.S. government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.
Well, here's another one off of Google.
Antifa is short for anti-fascist, used both by its adherents and its foes.
In general, people who identify as Antifa are known not for what they support, but for what they oppose.
Fascism, easy for me to say.
Nationalism, far-right ideology, white supremacy, authoritarianism, racism, homophobia, and xenophobia.
So, I mean, Antifa could be, that's a lot.
Well, let me say this.
Hold on.
I'm the vast majority of those things.
I'm actually anti-fascist.
So am I on that list?
You know, I've been dealing with quote-unquote Antifa and the black block in person since about 2009 when I covered the G20 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
And I said it then.
I maintain it now.
I do not like people that cover their face and put masks on.
I think that this is extremely detrimental.
Now, going to what you said earlier in New Rochelle, maybe those people were Antifa.
Maybe they weren't.
You know what they are?
They're attempted murderers.
And if the police, for some reason, cannot do their job in a shooting where an individual could have lost their life, that speaks much, much more loudly to law enforcement or lack thereof and lack thereof of a true detective, okay, and a system to prosecute these people.
Then we need more authoritarian, not laws, but dictates on the book.
Now, let me say this about the National Guard.
I don't know that I mentioned it right away when I got back from D.C., but I was in D.C. now a month ago, exactly a month ago, and I've been going there.
Well, really, I mean, my high school senior trip went through D.C.
So I think maybe that was the first time I really had been there and maybe a school trip before that.
But I've been going there for 30 years.
I have never in my life seen D.C. cleaner or safer than it was after the National Guard did what they did.
And by the way, I saw zero, zero National Guard on the street while I was there, which was just shortly after they went in, got rid of the homeless problem, arrested violent criminals.
In retrospect, this is exactly what I want the National Guard to be doing.
They should be helping with the states in small tandems.
In contrast to that, when I was there prior to the Biden administration, during the Stop the Steel rallies, for instance, and those that came before January 6th, there was a heavy presence of the National Guard and no one said anything.
Trump requested the National Guard be present on January 6th, and he was thwarted by individuals like Pelosi and others.
And now you're starting to see the indictments roll out and them talking about those investigations.
Letitia James is supposedly about to be indicted for some of her crimes in the real estate market.
We saw what just happened to Comey.
We saw what happened to Bolton.
I think that is the correct move.
But this idea that we should not be utilizing the National Guard in small spurts, because again, local law enforcement refuses to do their job in large part because of people like Governor Pritzker and those that want to align with this viewpoint.
I think that's actually a positive way to utilize the National Guards because I have seen the results and I have not seen the infringements on individual liberty that we have in this country.
Well, the thing with Chicago, Pritzker, that whole deal, I feel like that's more about him wanting to run for president on the next cycle than it is about anything that's actually going on in Chicago.
Muriel Bowser is the mayor of Washington, D.C., and she fought that National Guard deployment into the city so hard.
And then as soon as they got there, within a week, she said, I'm so glad they came.
And so, you know, she's obviously a Democrat and this and that, you know, whatever, but realize the safety of her city.
She said she told somebody in the press that Mayor Brandon Johnson from Chicago and Governor Pritzker should go talk to shooting victims' families.
She said that's what really got through to her because they were telling her, our streets are safer.
We have less to worry about here.
I was in D.C. maybe eight years ago and there was homeless everywhere.
I mean, sleeping on the national lawn or mall, you know, the whole thing.
So, you know, I'm glad that they got that cleaned up.
Obviously, Chicago, we see the numbers come out of Chicago every weekend, you know, 42 shot, eight dead.
This is common.
And Governor Pritzker went out and shot a video walking along Lakeshore Drive.
Yeah, Lakeshore Drive is not where the problem is, buddy.
You know, and obviously they're not there.
They're in Broadview.
They're in some of the suburbs where some of the problems have persisted.
I don't know if you saw Anthony Napolitano.
Do you know who that is?
He's an alderman from Chicago.
I've only heard the name from Andrew Napolitano.
I don't know if there's any relationship there.
So no, I'm not aware of Anthony.
So he came out and was like, hold on, I've got this here in my stuff, I think, from yesterday, and I'll share you the quote that he gave.
Let's see.
Oh, yeah, it's 10-10 trucker friend.
So 10-9 would have been the deal.
Here, here we go.
So Anthony Napolitano is the alderman from Chicago.
And he said, where is this?
Good golly.
What a day.
Maybe it's one more day back.
Hold on a second, Jason.
My apologies.
We are Deva the Weeds with Jason Burmese right now being brought to you by River City's Reader.
And I am trying to find a quote from Anthony Napolitano.
Here it is.
So this was his quote on what's going on.
Well, so did you hear about this whole thing where the police didn't help the ICE agents?
So Governor Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson have both called for people to essentially fight back and be resistant.
And so they boxed in ICE agents.
One of the ladies had a semi-automatic weapon on her.
They shot her.
They didn't kill her, but they shot her and got her weapon away from her.
But they boxed them in.
They called for help from the police.
The police didn't come because they said they were ordered not to.
And that would have been by Mayor Brandon Johnson, I assumed.
And then the police chief came out and said, absolutely not.
We would never do that.
But there's actually a recording of them being told by someone to stand down and not help them.
And so that's the whole thing.
So this is Anthony Napolitano said, this is pure politics controlling police.
A lot of people at City Hall feel the same way, even if they won't say it out loud.
The mayor's administration is trying to create chaos so that federal help looks catastrophic instead of helpful.
It's politics over public safety, and it's outrageous.
Officers swear an oath to the Constitution, not to the mayor.
And then in terms of Trump sending federal resources into Chicago in terms of troops, he said, send more.
I absolutely love it.
It absolutely is needed more than you know.
We need to clean up our streets.
There are a lot of intense gang members.
And now when you bring in such an influx of illegals who are also gang members on the city of Chicago streets, who prior to them had over already 170,000 of our own gang members here originally, and now they are clashing for territory and vice profits.
There is a major issue in this city.
So they need to come in and stay here until they clean it up.
So let me just speak to that for a moment because I've heard the police audio.
It certainly does not sound good.
It does sound, in fact, like they're hanging them out to dry.
But before I break out my jump to conclusions, Matt, on this whole thing where the police were boxed in and this woman had a semi-automatic, I have seen reports that that may have not been the case and that their version of events may have not been what actually happened.
There may be a police cam video out there.
I've not seen it.
Again, I've only seen reports.
So I am going to actually reserve judgment.
If in fact the body cam footage vindicates the officers and what they said happened, obviously that is a huge issue, regardless of whether or not this, you know, this use of deadly force that wasn't deadly was justified.
That makes no difference to me on whether or not the local police should be involved in assisting when requested.
Of course they should.
So unfortunately, this is one of those issues that will constantly be played up in the media because it is a rather divisive one.
And let me just say what a joke it is that Pritzker could think that he could win a national election.
And that's for a multitude of reasons.
Maybe he could eat the candidate or whoever they select for the Democratic or Republican Party.
But quite frankly, I mean, seriously, look at our lifetimes and go beyond that.
When was the last time we had a morbidly obese individual as the president of the United States?
It's been a while.
It's been a while.
I mean, you go to Reagan when I was a baby, Jimmy Carter before that, Gerald Ford, all skinny guys, Nixon, not a fatty.
Then you've got people like Eisenhower, Truman, Roosevelt, keep going.
Woodrow Wilson.
I mean, you literally have to get to the turn of the century before you get anybody even as remotely portly as Pritzker.
1908.
I don't know what Pritzker weighs, but Taft was well over 300 pounds.
He was the Secretary of State for Teddy Roosevelt, and then he was supposed to basically take over for Roosevelt because he didn't want to run for a second term because he'd already been there seven years because he took over for McKinley, who got assassinated just a year into his term.
Not even.
It was like a few months, I think.
So he almost served a whole term as the fill-in, and then he served a whole term, and then he was like maybe one of the most popular presidents in history at the time, decided he didn't want to run again.
He wanted to go to the Amazon and try to die, which he almost did.
So he had Taft take over with the idea that Taft was going to just basically continue on what Roosevelt had started.
Taft did not do that.
Once Roosevelt got out of the jungle and survived somehow, he ran again in 1912 as the Bull Moose Party to get Taft back out of there because he made him mad because he didn't do what he wanted him to do.
And that's when Roosevelt famously got shot on the way to a speech.
Still went and did the speech bleeding.
And they asked him how he felt.
And he said, I feel as strong as a bull moose.
And that's how the whole bull moose party thing came up.
I love me some Teddy.
Love me some Teddy.
There are so many things.
Again, imperfect individual, certainly an individual from his time period.
But there's so much to like about Teddy Roosevelt.
Walk softly and carry a big stick, essentially saying, hey, we don't want to get entangled in foreign affairs.
We're not looking for war.
But if it comes to us, we are actually prepared.
You mentioned the Bull Moose Party.
This is a guy that was trying to break out of the two-party system.
He was a true conservationalist.
A lot of the national park stuff that we have to this day is due to Teddy Roosevelt.
So, really, one of my all-time favorites and had his statue taken down from New York City because he was so evil and vilely racist.
Really?
Oh, 100%.
They absolutely did.
And I do hope that is one of the statues that they, in fact, restore.
Let me see.
Teddy Roosevelt statue removed.
New York.
We'll do it semi-live.
And here it is right here.
For the people that watch this, after the fact, you can do so over at my channels.
But here it is right here.
They removed that one in 2022.
New York City's Natural History Museum.
It was right on the outside.
It was one of the features.
Yes, he's on the horse, and there is a Native American and an African-American on the sides.
And apparently, that was just too bigoted to show a man of the people that was willing to talk to all and try to negotiate things rather than use violence and force all the time.
Yeah, he also used to swim naked in the Potomac, you know, while he was president.
Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite president, and so I've read a lot.
It's funny that they look at that.
He was the first president to ever have an African-American over for dinner at the White House.
It was Booker T. Washington.
Correct.
And he took a ton of crap in the press about that.
Not long after he went hunting in Mississippi, bear hunting, and they, but it wasn't a hunt.
They brought out a little bear with a rope around it so he could shoot it.
And he's like, I'm not going to shoot that bear.
Like, that's crazy.
And so then they started calling it Teddy's bear.
And that's how we ended up with teddy bears.
But ultimately, the press was making fun of him for not going after this bear.
And then they tied it into the Booker T. Washington thing as well.
And, you know, they constantly attacked him.
He was crazy.
I mean, he was a very unique individual.
Let's just put it that way.
And yeah, I mean, he's not a racist guy.
He lived in a different time and era.
And I feel like no matter how you tried to handle that back then, looking back now through our current narrative, you know, looking glass, nobody's going to look good.
Well, I would agree with that.
I think it really reflects more on the media apparatus, even at the time, how it has been utilized for those in power to try to keep those who are supposedly in power in check or challenge their narratives.
And it is only expanded today, unfortunately.
I mean, you look what's coming outside of the mainstream media, for instance, right now with this shutdown.
And everybody is vilifying Trump and the administration.
I'm sure that you are bombarded with all these ads on Medicaid that really were going on even before this shutdown.
And one of the things that I am just absolutely loving about this shutdown is the amount of IRS agents that have been laid off and may actually be permanently fired.
You cannot get rid of enough IRS agents, in my opinion, until you absolutely 100% abolish this anti-constitutional organization that was essentially set up with the idea post-World War II that we just had it so damn good that we were going to have this federal income tax to help support the rest of the world.
But it was only going to be temporary.
It's only going to be temporary, Aaron.
Just like all these authoritarian dictates that we discussed before with the executive orders claiming that Antifa is a terrorist organization.
Just like we got rid of the Patriot Act and we got rid of Homeland Security.
I'm sure, I'm sure we're going to reign this one in as well.
That is the big problem, right?
Is that once you allow a federal government to gain more and more authority, they never give it up.
And now we have a country that is literally taxed to death.
And you have commercials that those tax dollars are somehow going to waste because people don't want to pay for illegal immigrants' health care.
They don't want to pay for able-bodied men's health care.
And quite frankly, Medicaid is such a poor system that the idea that you think that you're saving lives with Medicaid is a bad joke.
It needs to be 100% completely abolished, in my opinion.
To me, it's welfare medicine.
It is literally something I will never put myself on.
I mean, you've got a broken system anyway, Aaron.
When the number three cause of death in your country that's supposed to be the shining beacon and the first world envy of the rest of the globe, when the number three, number three cause of death in your country is medical malpractice, you literally need to revamp your health care system from the ground up.
And I think part of that should be the evisceration of Medicaid.
Forget about just cutting it for those that weren't supposed to have it in the first place.
There is so much to be done in this country when it comes to actual health care.
Well, look at the, look how bad they freaked out earlier this week when RFK came out and said, you know, we're going to just make vaccines optional.
Like, you have a choice.
Imagine that.
And a lot of it was around the COVID vaccine.
So, of course, all the senators who have big pharma dollars in their pockets, which are pretty much all of them, both sides, are like, no, this is crazy.
Especially some blue states are calling it like he's trying to kill people or something.
No, he's not.
I mean, that's seriously.
The mainstream media has spun this around like he's trying to take away people's opportunities to get vaccines or he's hoping people die or something.
He's not.
He's just saying, you can have a choice.
You don't have to do this, but you can, but we're not going to recommend it.
We don't have to.
But without the recommendation, it affects how insurance pays.
And then, you know, so now you're getting into another one of the deep pockets of all of our senators and representatives.
You know, you got big insurance.
You got big pharma.
That's big money.
Bribing's legal.
And so they're losing their minds.
And let me just say this, Aaron.
I got news for everybody.
You've always had a choice.
The CDC can't mandate jack scrappets.
Okay, like you said, they can recommend things.
They can try to put pressure on you with color of law.
They can try to pass laws in individual states that, again, put more and more pressure on you to do these things.
I witnessed those firsthand with my nieces and the difficulty of getting conscientious objection waivers.
And this is before the COVID-19 nightmare.
This was almost a two-year process for my nieces in which we barely won.
And then new legislation was passed via New York.
And during the time period that they had shut down schools in person in the beginning of that nightmare, we were threatened multiple times that the kids that were not going to school and were not in contact with other young kids would no longer be able to virtually attend these schools unless we bent the knee and started shooting them up.
You just have to stand your ground.
To the contrary, when we got here to the great state of Iowa, it was a process that literally took weeks.
We were not challenged.
It was very easy to get a notary and the school system here completely and totally understood and did not try to push us around with false authoritarian dictates.
And that's why it's extremely important that you know your rights and you know the differences between your state and others when it comes to these type of things.
Because once again, the more power that you give the state, the more they will exercise that power.
And it is ludicrous to me that people are attacking Kennedy for actually doing his job.
You know, my brother, he was out at a birthday party.
He's got two small kids.
The one is, I think, right now in kindergarten, and the older one is in second grade.
And he's at this party.
And just like on Q, these parents that are extremely, extremely ignorant, they are repeaters.
They might as well be parrots of what they see on television and not what they read in the newspapers because they don't read.
Okay.
What they see in the headlines in big letters in one sentence form, that's about their knowledge base.
So when they start talking about how evil Kennedy is and how he's trying to hurt children, my brother has to go, wait, wait a minute.
You don't want placebo-based testing and results for the over 72 shots that your children are taking?
And instead of retorting, instead of saying, hey, you make a good point, they just shut down.
They act like he didn't say anything.
They literally just shut up and move on to the next thing because they can't critically think.
They don't have an argument.
They have what Jon Stewart told them on The Daily Show, which isn't even real news.
Okay.
That's where we're at, unfortunately.
Yeah, no, we are.
We actually were deep in the weeds of Jason Burmese, Roger, by River City's Reader.
And you were just making me think of, so, well, let me tie this all together real quick.
So you were making me think of going to sporting events for my kids, you know, post-COVID, when you could actually go outside again or whatever they wanted you to do.
I don't know.
But I remember the social norm pressure on people.
If you were going to go to the game, you were supposed to wear a mask and you couldn't yell.
Even with a mask on, you weren't supposed to yell and scream or cheer for your kids, which is crazy.
You know what's crazier though, Jason Burmese?
So there was a picture in the paper early this week.
Maybe it was late last week.
I don't know.
But there's a picture in the paper of these people protesting up in Broadview, Illinois, the suburb where the ICE agents are, right?
There's 30 people in this picture because I counted them.
30.
A couple of them are laying on the car to try and get them from so they can't move or whatever, you know.
What was shocking to me, and you've been around in some big cities, so maybe you could share some numbers with us or so with what you've seen.
But 10 of the 30 people that were protesting outside, outdoors in Broadview, Illinois, were still wearing COVID masks.
One of the guys' COVID masks looked like it hadn't been washed since COVID.
And I'm like, one out of three people who want to protest still think they need a COVID mask outside.
Even after Dr. Fauci, before the Senate Panel Committee hearing, even said himself, oh, yeah, you can't really get it outside.
And, oh, social distancing, oh, I kind of made that up.
But he said that.
He said, I don't know where that information came from, but we just went with it.
I mean, but one out of three people still wearing COVID masks?
What have you seen in the big cities in terms of that?
Oh, man.
I wish I could tell you that I had better news for you.
You know, there are a lot of people out there that when you get upset at looking at somebody or a group of people in these masks, they'll look at you and they'll go, well, why do you care?
Well, I'll tell you why I care.
Because the mental illness has been so pervasive in society after the fact that I am forced, forced to watch its visual representation in real time.
When I'm at the airport, there are a certain number of TSA agents that are still in the damn mask.
When I'm in the casino at Vegas, there are still a number of people in the mask.
When I go on my Facebook feed and I have to see one of my favorite musical artists, Serge Tankian of System of a Down, a band that's supposed to be challenging the system and taking on the man.
When I see him in October of this year signing books in a mask, I have to ask myself, what the hell is going on?
And what happened is there was a massive psychological operations campaign that has penetrated, penetrated the mindset and the psyche of individuals to a level where I think that they are ultimately permanently scarred.
Now, is it one out of three?
Absolutely not.
One out of 30 is too much.
And that's probably the number that we're at.
One out of 30 to maybe 50 people, right, left, old, young, who knows, is what I see.
I mean, that's way too much.
This was something that was not part of our culture prior to the COVID-19 nightmare and really was reserved in large part to Asian cultures.
You would see it in places like China or Japan, etc.
And quite frankly, I never thought that it could come here.
But unfortunately, it looks like it's not only come here to a certain extent, it's here to stay.
And you know, you mentioned some of the ludicrous regulations that they put us under.
Let us not forget they put stickers on the ground at places like Walmart and FedEx to tell you what direction you were allowed to walk in.
This was never about your safety.
This was always about control.
And let me just give you a small example.
Some stores still have those, by the way.
Insane.
Insane.
Those stores need to be boycotted.
And the individuals that didn't tear them off the floor the moment they were allowed to, those people should be fired and replaced with those with common sense.
They told us six feet apart, okay?
Six feet for social distancing to slow the spread.
Once again, this had no basis in science whatsoever, especially with an airborne virus.
However, in Singapore, it was not six feet, Aaron.
You know what it was?
It was three feet.
Do you know why it was three feet?
I do not.
I don't.
I haven't been to Singapore lately.
Well, if anybody would like to look into this, it's very easy to do.
It's because they allowed the DARPA robot dogs, the commercialized versions that run on Android, and you and I can buy for the cool sum of about 70 grand.
They allowed those to roam the streets and the parks with biometric software that once you got closer than three feet to another human being, the dog would target you.
It would let you know that you were too close to that person and you needed to get away.
So the more authoritarianism you allow, the more you give your rights over to a digital robotic hellscape, the more freedom they're going to give you.
It's not six feet, it's three feet.
And they tried similar things in the United States.
They tried to deploy the DARPA dogs via law enforcement in New York City, and people started seeing them walking around Brooklyn, Queens, lower Manhattan, freaked out and did not have it.
They also had drones in the air.
But guess what, Aaron?
They're bringing them back.
They're bringing them back.
It's about that time, Kathy Hochl style.
And now they are trying to bring back these dogs for law enforcement.
This is an extremely, extremely dangerous thing that we would allow these automated machines that are ultimately programmed and have no human empathy whatsoever to police human beings.
And yet, unfortunately, Aaron, that is just lost on some people.
Yeah.
Sounds like Doctor Who.
A little bit.
And then, well, there was one real funny thing was this social distancing.
Yeah.
For the City of Commands, public works for City of Commands during COVID.
One of the silliest things, probably the silliest thing I did in 32 years of working there was taking out a tape and painting a six-foot circle, and then six foot between circles, on the practice football practice field so people could come out and watch the fireworks at night during command days.
And that was going to be the social distancing.
No matter that they had to drive their cars in a parking lot, walk next to each other, and get out and stand in these stupid circles.
Wow.
It was like, really?
You serious?
They're like, just do it.
I was like, all right, she got up and do it.
It's like, it's one of them deals where like, you're like, hey, I've got this oceanfront property in Arizona, I want to sell you.
And they just took it and ran with it.
And people bought in because they felt like they had to.
Because if they didn't, then they couldn't go to work or they couldn't get, you know, their paycheck or they couldn't go to the store.
Like, they made it very much like, well, you can't survive unless you do this.
Whereas there was tons of, you know, essential workers.
I have plenty of friends of those that are essential workers, like nurses.
My wife was actually a nurse in a hospital when COVID went down.
And we could get into all kinds of crazy stories there.
But construction workers, I'm telling friends with tons of construction workers.
That's what I grew up doing.
And they all just laughed.
You know, they went to work.
They didn't wear no damn masks.
They didn't care.
And they were fine.
Because they were outside anyway.
And oh, well, after the fact, you know, a little Fauci admitted, oh, actually, yeah, you can't, you really can't, unless someone directly coughs on your face or sneezes on you, you really can't catch it outside.
Oh, well, that's not what you said before.
And then, oh, social distancing.
Oh, yeah, we kind of made that up.
Oh, well, that's not what you said before.
So it's, I'm really glad that's all over with.
And I think, remember, what was it, two years ago, they sort of tried to bring it back?
Like it was starting to pop up in the press again.
People were starting to report case numbers again.
And then it was like everybody just shut it down.
You know, the people that aren't still wearing masks were all just like, get out of here.
You're nuts.
We're not doing this again.
And it kind of just went away and it hasn't been back since.
Let me just say this, Aaron.
You mentioned a phrase that a lot of people may have forgotten.
And it was a phrase that was extremely chilling to me as soon as they started utilizing it.
We're not going to play the clip because I'm not even sure that it's in English.
But again, if you go and view this after the fact, go re-watch Schindler's list.
Those that remember that film may remember an individual that Oscar Schindler had working in his factory that had one arm.
Okay.
And essentially, he ends up being outside with the German soldiers while everybody is digging ditches.
And he's got this one arm.
And he continually tells these guys as they take him away, it's okay.
I'm an essential worker.
I'm essential.
And you know what they do to him, Aaron?
They put one right between his eyes.
So when I hear that people during World War II were categorized as essential workers and the moment they were deemed unessential, they were essentially executed.
That's no bueno.
I don't like using that language, just like I don't like using the language of homeland security when it was Hitler and the Nazis that brought in Deutschland security, aka homeland security, during his rise to power.
Didn't know that.
That's one that definitely slipped past me.
We are deep in the weeds of Jason Burmese brought you by River Cities Reader.
Before we go today, there's one of the prevailing topics that we brought up, of course, are the AI power station deal things that they're trying to do here with to take all our water, you know, let's give all our water to robots.
I wanted to tell you about this one.
So in West Memphis, Arkansas, so this is right next to Memphis.
It's just across the river, they are, they announced announcement of Google's new data center campus.
They're investing $4 billion on the project.
The campus will be located on 1,100 acres.
Now, you talked about these AI power stations or whatever being, you know, not square feet, but acres, like these ginormous, insane buildings that are going to, you know, that need fresh water.
And that's why these areas around the Midwest with the Great Lakes and the rivers with the Ohio, the Missouri, and the Mississippi all kind of converging in here in the Midwest, that this is where they're going to be.
And here we go.
A thousand percent.
And I would encourage people to just type in AI data centers and power bills of the surrounding areas that have had them built.
Every, not, it's not the exception.
It is the rule that every single one of these areas does not benefit in the sense that your power bill goes up.
It doesn't bring a multitude of jobs.
It doesn't help the economy.
And frankly, they are looking to automate these AI centers as much as possible.
I believe the one that they are currently trying to put and trying to fast track, by the way, in my little upstate New York town, I think it's about 157 acres.
It is literally right by the Otsego Lake.
And like you said, they are dependent on the fact that they have fresh water that surrounds them so that they can cool these centers.
Especially in New York, you saw them putting, and during the COVID-19 44 nightmare, solar panels just about everywhere.
I've got news for people that have not been to New York.
Yeah, summers are great.
Get a lot of sunshine during the summers.
Don't get so much sunshine during the winters, which we have long winters.
Maybe get a moderate amount of sunshine in the fall.
Starts to be more in the spring.
So when you look at the viability of solar power in New York State, even upstate New York, you're looking about the viability of maybe, maybe four to six months if you are extremely lucky.
And once again, this is just never discussed.
And New York City, quite frankly, has moved into the direction of a quote-unquote 15-minute city of command and control this year, where not only do they have the automated plate readings and massive tolls.
If you've never been to New York State, there's just toll roads absolutely everywhere.
And forget about it when you go into the city.
Now, if you live in certain areas in the city, you are charged daily, daily for parking your car there.
It doesn't matter if you're a resident or driving in and out of that area.
And again, this is part of the command and control system that you are not allowed to leave your area unless you have enough credits, unless you have enough money, unless you have enough cash.
And it is automatically billed and sent to you.
We are literally one step away from it automatically being taken out of your digital accounts.
And really, that is where they want to move us globally.
I don't know if you saw Starmer this past week, the UK prime minister, literally announcing that you will not be able to work in the United Kingdom without a digital ID that is the ultimate form of track trace database via their citizenry.
You know what I mean?
Where you're like, wait, okay, we're in different sectors now.
You got to do this and this.
And isn't it like 12 bucks just to drive into Manhattan?
Like, isn't that, the total is like insane.
I mean, that's just for the driving around.
Forget about if you want to go to get into Manhattan.
There are two ways by car.
You can do so through the Lincoln Tunnel or you can do so through the George Washington Bridge.
There is literally no other way by car to get into that area.
If you want to, you can take a ferry from Connecticut to get into that area, but you are correct.
I mean, it is already a city that needs so much work and is not like any other city in the country and perhaps the world.
I'll claim ignorance on that as I've only been to Canada outside of the states.
But to make it more difficult to travel there is extremely alarming.
And unfortunately, the general populace is just so docile when it comes to these type of policies that not only are they going to allow it, many people, many of those parrots that we discussed earlier, are going to champion it.
And that is what is really scary.
Well, yeah, the news told them to.
Right?
Yeah, that's that's the uh and people really need to just learn.
I think the, you know, if you can just pull everybody aside and say and explain the Smith Munt Modernization Act and the fact that media is very slanted now and meant to be that way, I don't think it gets through to a lot of folks, but that is the case.
That is the situation.
You got to learn how to read between the lines, check all the sources, and kind of figure it out for yourself.
And that's kind of the stuff that we like to cover here.
Deep in the weeds with Jason Burmes brought to you by River Cities Reader.
We're here every Friday from 9 a.m. to about 10.
And I want to thank you, man, again for calling in this week.
And there's a lot of stuff we didn't even get to touch on today that we kind of haven't done any, well, Slain Maxwell, of course, we had some stuff with her in the media.
And maybe we can tackle some of that next week, as well as, you know, all the other stuff that we swim through.
I still get comments every week about the moon stuff.
We'll have to do a whole one on the moon and space travel in general because, again, our head of NASA, our transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, MTV reality star, turned politician and administrative head.
He's telling us, man, we're going humans going to the moon next year.
We're doing it to 2026.
We're going to send humans on that rocket, not just a Snoopy doll, which they said on the last Artemis trip.
And we're going to go up and around the moon.
We're not going to land anybody there, but don't worry.
Soon enough, we're going to be building nuclear reactors on the moon as well.
That's what they're telling us, Aaron.
Yeah, that sounds nuts.
You're from New York.
I don't know if you're a Giants fan or even a football fan, but Jackson Dart, their young stud rookie quarterback, he's playing pretty good, played good last night.
He came out and said he does not believe they landed on the moon based on the math that we talked about.
You know, 300 miles takes 15 hours, 250,000 miles takes 72 hours in 1968.
Just seems a little, you know.
And that is going to wrap it up, folks.
Remember, I can't do this without your support.
