Time Text
And welcome, folks, to Truth vs. News Incorporated.
I'm Donald Ryan, your producer at JD.Consultants at live.com.
And I have to wish everybody in at least half the world here Mother's Day.
Happy Mother's Day.
And this is the year of the most significant Mother's Day, I guess, ever.
And we have a critical time here, too, in the world when mothers have got to be very strong mama bears and protect your kids, because there's so much out there that is Tearing families and people and education apart.
So with that, I'd say this is time to get going, but happy Mother's Day.
And I have the best people here to share the news of the day, all the hot topics that we're going to get into that you need to know.
I have Jim Fetzer, the most dangerous mind in America, and actually the sharpest mind in America, who knows more about America than all of us combined almost.
He's just great.
And then we have Scott Bennett, military intelligence officer, par excellence, who's been there and done that behind the scenes and knows a lot of strategies that we need to know.
And Holly Seliger, she's just really a fantastic researcher and reporter.
And I guess we have some heavy stuff going on today.
Jim's starting with Russia.
Well, Don, it's bizarre.
Even some men today are claiming they can bear children.
We have reached a bizarre stage in American political life.
U.S.
intel is helping Ukraine kill Russian generals and boasting about it.
I cannot imagine a dumber approach than this.
The U.S.
has provided intel about Russian units allowing Ukrainians to target and kill many Russian generals.
This is actionable intelligence.
They're claiming 12 generals, more or less, have been killed.
The targeting is part of a classified effort by the Biden admin to provide real-time battlefield intelligence, which makes us co-belligerents in the war under international law.
We have made ourselves legitimate targets for military retaliation by Russia by providing this actionable intelligence.
And then we're boasting about it.
It's not as though Russia isn't going to notice.
This is on the front page of The New York Times.
Intel sharing is part of a stepped-up blow of U.S.
assistance, including heavier weapons, tens of millions in aid, demonstrating how quickly earlier restraints on support have shifted as the war enters a new stage.
Not all the strikes have been carried out with American intel.
One over the weekend, General Valery Grasimov, Russia's highest-ranking uniformed officer, had visited, was hit, but they did not get him.
Nevertheless, American intel was critical in the death of other generals.
Meanwhile, they're going to kill us all.
Biden regime helped Ukraine sink the Russian ship Moskva, then leaked it to the warmongers and the liberal media.
This is insane!
U.S.
intel, under the direction of Biden's handlers, helped Ukraine sink the Russian flagship in the Black Sea.
Then they leaked the news to the New York Times and NBC, who gleefully reported the news.
Here's Mediate reporting.
On April 11, Ukrainian forces landed two missile strikes on the cruiser Muspah, flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.
It sank shortly thereafter.
The Times reported, targeting him, which contributed to the eventual sinking, as part of a continuing classified effort by the Biden admin to provide real-time battlefield intelligence to Ukraine.
The admin is sought to keep much of this, it sharing secret, out of fear of what will be seen as an escalation of Putin into a wider war.
These people are itching for a war with Russia.
They just might get it.
And here, watch this.
This is Russia's doomsday plane.
This is Russia's doomsday.
Well, there's more, but what could Putin do than telegraph to the U.S.?
about the threat they're risking here, and then advertising on the front page of the New York Times?
Scott, have you seen such insanity?
Your thoughts.
Well, Tucker Carlson did a good analysis of that, Jim, the releasing of the information, and we've all, you know, we're all in agreement with that, and it's amazing.
They've done an analysis, a poll of Americans, and the core of the American conservatives all support Tucker Carlson.
He's the number one show in America in cable news.
And everyone is in agreement.
No one wants conflict with Russia.
No one wants to be in Ukraine.
They're extremely ignorant of Ukraine.
They don't know all the other components of this conflict, the history dating back to 2014.
When we overthrew the president, the biochemical labs in Ukraine that were asked to be taken out by the government in 2013, and that's why they overthrew the government, is because Ukraine was, among other things, wanting rid of these bioweapons labs that were being developed.
So no one knows about that.
No one knows really about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and Fonseca, Rosemont Fonseca, And financing this organization through Burisma and the Global Viral Forecasting Institute.
No one knows about that and its connection to COVID-19.
All of this is like a Pandora's box that the Biden administration thinks that it can escape from opening by creating a war.
To create smoke and fire and distraction away from this Pandora's box of multiple crimes.
Multiple crimes against humanity, incidentally.
What we've done in Ukraine with the experimentation of pathogens and flus and plagues being used on ticks and fleas of birds and then using these birds as instruments, migratory weapon systems,
to fly into Russia and develop DNA-based weapons based on Slavic Russian DNA that was collected, and the experimentation on Ukrainian soldiers that goes against the Nuremberg Code killed, you know, all these volunteers, but essentially they weren't volunteers.
All of these things represent serious crimes against humanity.
And I really think the death cult of madness, the Biden administration, and the Democrats think they can escape accountability by creating a war.
And they're doing everything that they can.
And Tucker said that too.
Why would they be advertising their roles in all of these operations that are clearly a provocation, if not an act of war against Russia?
It's an act of war for the United States to sink the Muscovah.
And Veterans Today had reported on that in great detail, and the next thing you know, I'm getting word from Veterans Today that they are now under a FISA investigation, a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act investigation.
Why?
Probably because they've been reporting the Muscovado and the Mariupol operations and all the details of these battles, which they know very well.
The only reason to be leaking this is because they want war with Russia.
They want conflict.
But again, they have no idea what they're doing.
I mean, the Americans and the NATO forces in Europe are not the same American NATO forces that existed in the 1980s.
They are a shadow, a paper tiger of what they used to be.
And the Russians are a sophisticated, highly mobile, professional army that doesn't start wars, but it can end them pretty brutally.
And they also have a An absolutely indomitable attitude towards foreign invasion because they've experienced this under Hitler, under Napoleon, and now they see NATO is continuing this.
And there's a role of betrayal in NATO's expansion.
And that adds to the visceral anger that all of Russia is feeling against NATO.
You've lied to us since 1990.
We extended the hand of friendship.
You betrayed us.
And you've been persistently pursuing a plan to harm us and destroy our country ever since.
So Russia has stepped in.
If they pick a fight with Russia, they will have every NATO force annihilated and Russia will not back down from using any and all weapons necessary, including the elimination of Washington D.C.
and all of the cesspool there, which might not be a bad idea to Americans.
But I think they are preparing and showing, if you pick a fight with us, you will be the ones that are destroyed.
And Europe realizes that too.
Europe is, I think, carving out a lot of non-aggression agreements, non-commitment to any conflict.
So even the principle of NATO, as Scott Ritter said, it does not mean that if one country's attacked, suddenly every country sends its military to fight the enemy.
No.
It says they will consider all options.
I'll tell you what'll happen, Jim.
If Poland or one of these countries is stupid enough to get involved, the NATO thing is just going to evaporate.
They're going to go, nope, time out, we're not in this fight.
Go ahead.
Scott, we're getting there.
I'm really interested, Holly, what you think about the idea of the U.S.
providing actionable intelligence and then boasting about it.
Your thoughts, Holly.
Well, I think it's reckless at best on multiple fronts, just because, first of all, Ukraine wouldn't, couldn't survive an invasion from Russia for more than a couple days anyway.
And the fact that this is dragged on, you know, we're talking about for months now is obvious that it's very similar to something That we've seen before where the United States is openly funding other countries.
We provide them with mercenaries.
I mean, we're openly providing them with billions of dollars in support and weapons.
People have also speculated that this is actually a way to get weapons out of the United States as well, to deplete our resources on our front here in the United States as well.
All the money that is going over there, obviously money laundering.
We've seen that with the The Biden Prime Family for a couple generations now in Ukraine, all these other families, now that they're actually quote-unquote in office right now as, you know, president or whoever, they've got carte blanche to basically do that.
Pelosi's just going over there.
There's no congressional oversight or approval of this war.
It is a full-on hot war at this point.
Mainstream media is not talking about this at all.
Russia showed tremendous restraint through all this which is the correct thing to do, but also from a like a strategic standpoint you don't brag about this type of stuff, either.
So why is the mainstream news and the CIA, et cetera, bragging about sinking ships and whatnot, that you're just exposing yourself from a military perspective?
So in every single way, if you're following like Sun Tzu's Art of War, any sort of way, actual military tactics, we're doing everything from a losing standpoint at this point.
Those are very good observations, Holly, and it means that whoever is handling the scene behind wants to provoke a war with Russia.
There's no doubt about it.
Meanwhile, your body, my choice, abortion sympathizers confronted about mandates.
It's hilarious people chanting, my body, my choice, when they try to cut me out of society for not taking the experimental vax.
I think the Democrats blew it completely by not making that argument in relation to the vaccine.
Abortion sympathizers are reviving the conversation about bodily autonomy.
We old Roe v. Casey must be overruled, Justice Alito wrote in the draft.
It's time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives.
News of the unprecedented leak has sparked outrage.
It's impossible to overstate the earthquake this will cause inside the court in terms of the destruction of trust among the justices and staff.
This leak is the gravest, most unforgivable sin.
But abortion sympathizers are enraged that they would rule against federalized abortion.
Joe Biden's statement, which did not mention the leak, railed against the court's opinion, saying his administration has always been against government interference with intensely personal decisions.
Think about that statement coming from Joe Biden, who's been pushing the facts and mandates.
He's against government interference with intensely personal decisions.
Give me a break.
My administration argued strongly in defense of Roe, he said, based on a long line of precedent recognizing the 14th Amendment concept of personal liberty against government interference with intensely personal decisions.
I agree with that, but in consistency, his administration should have opposed any mandates regarding an experimental medical procedure that was being promoted in absence of informed consent.
The hypocrisy here is repulsive.
Abortion sympathizers are again chanting, my body, my choice, but many who witness the same cheering for unconstitutional mandates over the last two years are calling them out.
Here's Benny Johnson tweeting, every spoiled rich kid in this video chanting, my body, my choice, was in favor of mask mandate, vaccine mandate, child vaccine mandate, vaccine to work mandate, social credit score, so STFU.
Irony of the left hiding my body, my choice, who could not have cared less about other people's body choices over the past two years of vaccine mandates can't be overstated.
Many rejoice at the prospect of people who didn't want to be vaxxed losing their job because of it.
Donald Trump Jr.
And just like that, my body, my choice matters again.
Rebel News Journalist Avi Yamini.
Good morning.
Inject this emergency experimental drug or else.
My body, my choice.
My body, my choice.
Rasmussen reports.
Pro-choice, pro-vaccine mandate.
It's not a contradiction.
They say, my body choice, your body, my choice.
They get to decide how their body is affected and your body.
Podcaster Tim Poole.
Where was this outrage, my body, my choice crowd when vaccine mandates hit?
Author and comedian Tim Young.
I'm pretty sure we threw the whole My Body, My Choice out the window when we banned people who didn't get a shot from participating in society, Blair White.
The people who were advocating for forced government virus vaccines just last week are now back to My Body, My Choice radio host Dana Loesch.
It's hilarious people cheering My Body, My Choice when they try to cut me out of society for not taking the experimental vaccine, Jake Shields.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, I think that's a brilliant contradiction that they all represent, and it shows you their typical contradicting spirit and their level of stupidity.
I've said all my life, entire life, these leftist Democrat lunatics with ponytails and frumpy-looking, demented personalities are nothing but parasites on society, and they've been pushing this madness Of every disgusting political ideal for their entire existence, and this is just coming to the climax.
I couldn't improve upon it.
My body, your choice, the whole thing of comparing abortion to the COVID-19 vaccine tyranny, the dictatorship of Government officials that unconstitutionally abused their power using an emergency powers act that should have run its course in 30 days and ended.
None of that was done.
It was introduced and it was maintained and it got more severe.
They fired 600 police and firemen in San Francisco alone for not getting the shot.
Uh they've of course the countless doctors and nurses uh being forced to get the shot even though they they've been caring for people in the hospitals at the very beginning of this.
This is the tyranny of madness and this whole vaccine uh is going to be I think increasingly revealed is causing irreparable harm physically uh an inevitable death uh the suppression of the immune system leads to all sorts of shingles diseases and viruses resurfacing
And anyone who said shingles recognizes it's one of the most agonizing afflictions you can endure, with blisters and such erupting from the skin.
Those days are coming as this vaccine matures with time and worsens, and that's inevitably what's going to happen.
As you see this vaccine mature, the physical and mental body of people is going to break down more and more.
They're going to become more animalistic, more knuckle-draggling, dragging, troglodytic.
And this is why they're surrounding the Supreme Court Houses and doing these protests.
And they have no conscience, no ability to discern, no ability To compare and say, wait a minute, if we're for this abortion thing, we should also be against people being forced to get shots.
And they're not, because at their heart, they're idiots, and they're also tyrants, and they're fascists, and they're socialists, and they're easily led.
So I think it's a revelation of deep hypocrisy and the level of stupidity in this country's left, Jim.
Yeah, having had shingles myself, it's not a lot of fun.
Holly, your thoughts?
I think that's, as Scott's right, talking about like the inner and the outer contradiction and how that manifests itself.
People become physically, emotionally, mentally ill when you're living a lie and you're living a contradiction like that.
Many of these people don't even realize that they're contradicting themselves.
At least if you have a viewpoint, stick to that viewpoint.
If you think everyone should, if you believe in fascism and everyone should have no choice, it should always be the government, And if people just want freedom and you want everyone to decide what's going on, have that viewpoint.
But these people hold two contradictory viewpoints in their mind at the same time, and that literally makes you crazy.
And so that's what we're seeing from the left.
I mean, they're saying, my body, my choice, unless it potentially causes harm, oh wait, that doesn't make any sort of sense.
So, They've held themselves to this.
Well, ultimately, they don't care what people think.
It's just they're ignorant.
They're not thinking for themselves.
They're being told what to do.
They're being manipulated.
Unfortunately, many of these people are not very intelligent.
They're mostly just opinionated and angry and sick.
From a, you know, physically and mentally from poor life choices.
And I'm not saying people can't redeem themselves.
People can't clean themselves up.
I've, I've done it.
We've all done it.
We've all had tough times throughout our lives.
I think there's hope for people, but it's, uh, we're also, I mean, I'm just seeing around me, I'm in here in the U S and it's like, every other person is extremely ill at this point.
Like I just see, it's like, It's tragic, but I think you're spot on.
are like morbidly obese and like I just seeing it with like my eyes open I'm just seeing how sick people are in the United States and that manifests it's obviously itself in the culture and the choices that are made by people.
It's tragic but I think you're spot on.
Meanwhile we know it was the leftists who leaked the draft of the court decision overturning Roe.
A leak probably won from Justice Sotomayor's office, a leftist, I've been told it was an Indian-American leftist law clerk from Asia, of course, not Native American.
Here are some reasons we know.
It was published by Politico, a far-left-leaning online outlet.
The left used it—the only play it had left.
If progressives believed they were going to lose, the only option would be to break the rules to try to change the outcome.
They want protests to break out.
They want cities to be burned.
They want violence to break out, to intimidate other justices in changing their opinion.
Third, conservatives wouldn't want a leak.
There's no advantage to breaking the news early.
They give the left an advantage.
That's why every conservative is crying foul and wants an investigation and prosecution.
Politico got the information somewhere.
It's now up to the DOJ to find out, but good luck with that.
They're more concerned with targeting conservative parents who worry about the school boards or teaching in the schools about critical race theory and sexual ambiguity and the right to choose your own gender to kids!
Find out more.
Meanwhile, Biden supported a constitutional amendment to overturn Roe v. Wade, saying it went too far.
Earlier this week, an agitated Biden told reporters he was concerned about the leaked draft.
Look, the idea concerns me that we're going to, after 50 years, decide a woman does not have the right to choose, number one, but equally as profound as the rationale.
And every other decision in the notion of privacy is brought into question.
But earlier, Biden, who professes to be a Catholic, supported a constitutional amendment to overturn Roe.
In his early Senate career, he claimed the Supreme Court went too far.
I don't like the court decision on abortion.
I think it went too far, he said in 1973.
I don't think a woman has a sole right to say what should happen to her body.
Can you imagine the same words uttered today?
Even in 2020, Bernie Sanders attacked him for it.
Furthermore, as Atai pointed out, in 2019, Biden voted in committee for an ultimately failed constitutional amendment that would have allowed states over to turn the decision back in the 1980s.
It was described by the National Abortion Rights Action League as the most devastating attack yet on abortion rights, yet he supported it, a ranking minority member on the Senate Judiciary voting 10-7 for the resolution to overturn Roe.
I'm probably a victim or a product, however you want to phrase it, of my background, he said.
The single most difficult vote I've cast as a senator.
Biden also repeatedly voted for the Hyde Amendment, preventing federal funding of abortion in accepting cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger.
He flip-flopped on the matter during his campaign when radicals demanded it, and now of course he's feigning to have always been for women's rights when historically that's contradicted.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, you know, there is no federal right to an abortion.
You do have a constitutionally recognized right to life.
The question is, does a child in the womb have a life?
I think the answer is yes.
The cells splitting and beginning its development.
How that concludes is up to the natural processes.
I think the vaccine, of course, is causing miscarriages and you could even bring charges of murder against the vaccine.
Intentional vaccine murder that attacks the placenta and the testes.
But getting back on track, the right to life protects a baby in the womb from its development from two cells, three cells, four cells onward.
That has a very reasonable, legal, logical construct.
Um so there's there's a right to say all abortion essentially is is murder.
Now um you know is it is it have people done it throughout the ages and of course murder and all the rest of that and killing.
But it's not a federal right.
That's the real crux of the issue.
It's a it's a uh something that the state the federal government has intervened in using propaganda.
The Roe versus Wade decision.
I remember I read a book I can't remember the title exactly.
I'll remember next time.
I've got it up there somewhere.
A magazine writer had been developed over a 20-30 year career, and she laid out how popular culture was being purposefully engineered to shape women into these, you know, playgirls, if you will.
They can be CEOs, lawyers, enjoy cocktails, sleep with multiple men, And don't have any children until, you know, their later 40s or 50s, which is a lie.
But the female population, and it's particularly relevant on Mother's Day today, the female population has been targeted and manipulated and abused by bad men and this whole fantasy psychiatry of of professionalism since the 1950s.
Roe versus Wade was based on a lot of a magazine article research which was proven to be completely false.
So the whole decision was based on falsity.
So the return of this to the states to say the federal government doesn't have any right or power to do anything on this.
It's the states So that's where it's going, but it's again a power grab by the left because they want everything centralized.
They want everything coming from their anointed leaders on high.
They want everybody to be crushed and molded into living the liberal democrat, you know, sinless way.
And they think that they're going to achieve eternal bliss when everybody is eternally miserable, as they are.
So it's rooted in a lot of spiritual schizophrenia.
But the court, I think, is going to return it.
The political ambushing of the justices at their homes is going to blow back because everybody's going to go, wow, we've seen this one before.
They go to the homes, they protest the homes, they throw Molotov cocktails against the homes of conservative justices.
Sotomayor, the leftists, no doubt were part of this.
The American people are going to stand back and watch all of this.
They're probably going to unite a Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Summer of Outrage, using this as an excuse to try and drum up, you know, froth up animosity.
But I think it's going to blow back.
I think the American people are not going to tolerate it.
Well, we celebrate freedom of speech and freedom of diversity of opinion, and we have differences here.
Let me just say three primary points.
Number one, The freedom to choose or not to carry to term appears to be rooted in the privacy condition of the Constitution, which is a living document that must be interpreted by the courts as to apply to current circumstances.
Of number two, in my opinion, Roe was among the wisest decisions ever rendered by the court, and it hinges on the question of personhood.
At what point does the developing fetus acquire the right to be treated as a person under the law?
It's only persons who can be subject to murder, which entails a deliberate killing of a person that is illegal.
As long as Roe is legal and a personhood is not attained until the end of the second trimester, which is a convergence of both Roe and Casey, it cannot be murder.
Thereafter, only to save the life or the health of the mother, otherwise it would be.
And third, it seems to me all the arguments that apply to opposing the federal mandates on abortion, the vaccine, the mask, equally apply to opposing the reinstitution of or the dissolution of this to the states.
I believe it's an undue burden on women To exercise a constitutional right that the court has in the past called a fundamental right that they should have to arrange to transport themselves to another state.
to exercise that right, make arrangements for their kids, leave their job.
The circumstances under which women may need to have a limitation on their family circumstances, in my opinion, deserve to be respected.
And every woman should have the right to choose, which does not obligate any woman to have an abortion when abortion is legal nationwide, but permits those who need to, who have the resolution to do so because it's in accord with their conscience and their circumstances to exercise who have the resolution to do so because it's in accord with their Restricting the right to abortion seems to me to turn women into reproductive slaves.
I therefore believe the pro-choice position is the only democratic and American stance here, and I will defend it as morally right and constitutional to the end.
But I fully respect Scott and everyone else's opinion and Scott is very able in presenting his position.
Holly, your thoughts.
Well, I think Scott's right when he brought up the I've heard other people talk about this either as well as that.
Sorry, it's a difficult subject for me.
Talking about miscarriage and infertility with with the jab, they might be just throwing a bone to people at this point, knowing that a large percentage, we're seeing a millennial die off and younger.
And, you know, best case scenario, a lot of these women who aren't severely impacted by the job are now infertile.
They're having massive miscarriage problems here.
So it might not even be an issue as much in the future if literally we're talking about a large percentage of younger people have been sterilized.
So, uh, which is just horrible to even have to consider.
So I always think about this, like, you know, key bono, who benefits from actually having this come out?
This is obviously a big, uh, distraction.
It's always a big distraction from like the economics or warfare or all this stuff that we have right now, uh, where they want to act like they're going to actually Supreme Court's actually going to throw a bone to like, any sort of group of people at all at this point.
I'm kind of blackpilled on the issue because I think a lot of it, they might kick it back to a state's rights and privacy, but then what we've seen, especially what we have witnessed past couple of years with the right to medical privacy, I think that they have to repeal this because without I think that they have to repeal this because without this 14th amendment and medical privacy, right to privacy granted by the federal government, it'll go back to the states.
And then we can just, we can talk about should people be required to get the jab?
It'll be up to the state.
Should your medical data be online?
Should the biometric tracking be a lot online and available for anyone?
So your social credit score tied with your insurance rates and your medical history, everything.
I mean, this is what they want to do and tie it in with the smart cities and death panels, People didn't believe in the idea of death panels.
We saw that with the COVID protocols.
They were openly euthanizing people.
That's where we're headed, like a Logan's Run, where they're going to say, you're too old, we need to get rid of people.
Where a lot of that medical privacy starts to open up.
So I don't even think that there actually, you know, any of this has to do with people actually on the Supreme Court caring about being pro-life or not.
I think this is about opening it up so we can have Pandora's box of like just medical openness and have no more privacy, medical privacy.
No one's allowed to have any sort of medical privacy.
That's That's my thought on it.
Let me say one thing, Jim.
Go ahead.
One thing.
The importance of this issue is it will cause an incendiary, explosive emotional reaction among the left, and that's what they want!
The left, these liberals, they are so miserable.
They are so stupid.
They are so sickly.
They are so confused.
They don't know if they're a boy or a girl or something in between.
They're coming from garbage parents.
They hate God.
They hate themselves.
They hate their parents.
There is so much schizophrenic dysfunction in the heart and soul of the liberal left.
They are Thirsting and gnawing on their tongues for this sort of theatrical, dramatic opportunity.
They want to light themselves on fire.
They want to kill people.
They want to crash cars into, you know, churches or anything else.
They are salivating at the thought of We get to go out this summer and just plunder and murder and kill all in the license of freedom, of choice.
That's the real thing that's coming, is you're unleashing the Pandora's box in the soul of the liberal, leftist, democrat, fascist, That is just going to explode out there.
And this time, you could have a lot of people standing up to oppose it because they're not going to go through another George Floyd summer.
I hope they oppose it.
And that could be very bloody very quickly.
You could have a civil war ignited.
And again, like Holly said, maybe that's exactly what they're doing.
A distraction to amplify and weaponize the left So they can declare martial law and suspend the elections in 2022.
Don't think it's beyond the pale.
The Democrats will do anything to hold on to power, and if they think they're going to lose massively, and not even their election fraud manipulations are going to save them, they're going to, like Tucker said, they're going to burn down the country, and that's where you have to take them out before they can light their match.
Jim?
I think you and Holly have made any number of excellent points about this.
Meanwhile, the argument is made the American people must relocate power to the states.
When American citizens look to Washington, D.C., they find much to be disappointed in, even less to believe in.
The fundamental problem is that the government has, through its regulatory and spending power, usurped much of the governing authority for the republic.
For reasons both predictable and lamentable, it's failed to govern well for decades, with policy breakdowns occurring across the board.
There's no manifest line in the Constitution that guides the distribution of power between the federal and state governments.
In the Federalist Papers, Publius argues the question will be decided by citizens in a process that's deliberative, influenced by elections arguments and results.
So, we should record that federal spending is now so large and so encompassing that it swallows the ability of the states to be self-governing and accountable to their citizens.
This has occurred through ever-expanding federal grants and aid.
These programs should be called for the restoration of constitutional order and its commitment to a self-governing people.
Our country even faces potential catastrophic entitlement cuts, such as a detonation, and we continue to pay for present expenses with long-term debt instruments.
Most of our state governments eagerly seek federal grants and funding.
Even though the money comes with strings attached, the states can't leave well enough alone.
What do they lose by taking the money?
Funds that enable them to claim success for services to constituents who real costs are actually paid for by the state's taxpayers?
The loss is that we as citizens no longer govern ourselves in an open and competitive fashion.
This crucial discipline over state government is circumvented.
The loss of self-government includes not only the states, but members of Congress no longer focus their attention on what should be for them the more pressing objectives of national government.
They now are wagged by the tail, turned on behalf of local concerns and interests that are served by grant programs.
What must happen for the proper liberation of the states to govern themselves in full?
Cease federal grants through a constitutional amendment.
That would save millions of dollars and crucially restore Congress to its proper function of deliberating national problems and concerns.
The American people must be able to locate authority and accountability in their own state governments.
Which should be led by officials who are fully transparent with their citizens about the cost of programs that must be borne by actual citizens of the state, not by federal taxpayers in an endless game of fiscal shape shifting.
I think that's fascinating.
Now, here's Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her interlocutor, who, in my opinion, is giving a very biased interpretation.
but let's hear what Ruth has to say.
It was going to be argued as a privacy case, not as a women's rights case.
Ginsburg has offered two critiques of Roe.
One of them is that the court went too far.
It should have been much more modest in what it invalidated.
It should have invalidated the Texas statute and not gotten into all the other questions that the opinion got into about the first trimester and second trimester and when the state can regulate abortion and when it can't regulate abortion.
It should have simply said it's unconstitutional for the state to prohibit abortion except to save the life of the mother and we don't decide anything else about what other restrictions might or might not be constitutional.
Leave that for another day.
Interestingly given that it was seven Republican appointed justices and three of the four Nixon justices was extremely activist.
This was a very activist opinion.
And so that's one criticism.
The other criticism is that the court wrote an opinion that was less focused, indeed not at all focused on what Justice Ginsburg believes should have been the core issue, which is the rights of women to control their own lives.
And instead writes this opinion in much more ways that are removed from that as the core question.
Because I know one of the things you've said many times and recently is that it mattered that Roe went as far as it did in a negative sense.
It's not just that as a matter of taste, you would have rather seen the court be incremental rather than bold.
We have paid a huge price because the court made the decision.
To be that activist, that aggressive, that bold in taking on the entire issue of abortion as opposed to writing a much narrower opinion with a much more limited effect.
I'd like you to talk a bit about how you see the effect of the Roe decision on the polity and on what's happened in this country over the last 40 years.
This decision, this most undemocratic decision by nine Justices who nobody elected to make policy for the country.
That charge, what a great organizing tool it is.
You have a name, you have a symbol, Roe v. Wade.
You can aim at that.
This decision was made not in the ordinary democratic process, but by these nine unelected men.
In my opinion, that's really rather bizarre coming from a justice, because she's essentially denigrating the role of the Supreme Court under the Constitution.
We have nine justices.
Yes, they're unelected, but their role is to interpret the Constitution as to how it applies to contemporary society.
So I find that her remarks bizarre.
I will stand by Roe as wisely decided.
I believe it's completely proper.
But some of the issues you and Holly are raising, Scott, have to do with allocating responsibility to the states.
The article was talking primarily about fiscal responsibility, but you and Holly, it seems to me, are talking about alternatives.
So Holly is concerned about opening a Pandora's box, which concerns me as well.
Your thoughts, Scott, about all of the above?
Well, you know, I've worked in the federal government, and I know it's dysfunctionality.
I know it's waste.
I know it's a mafia in Washington, D.C.
It is a swamp of child-molesting pedophiles and intern-preying, old, diseased mystics.
It's just, it's one of the most interesting places and also decadent places that I've ever spent time in.
And I was back there from 98 to 2011 or so.
And it's, you can see, I think that article lays out very well, as the federal government has grown, and I'd say since, well, since definitely Franklin Delano Roosevelt's coming since definitely Franklin Delano Roosevelt's coming in, The whole country has degenerated.
It was quickened when Kennedy was killed, but it continued on ever since, even through Reagan, the federal government.
Reagan said every single federal government agency worker should stay home and the country would be better off.
It would be.
I think we're, again, we're witnessing a metamorphosis in America that we have to be mentally and emotionally prepared for.
And that is the breakdown of the dollar, the breakdown of society, the breakdown of the government, the layering of pathological, selfish, narcissistic delusions and madness, never mind the spiritual implications,
of Sodom and Gomorrah policies, which I am fervently sensitive to, and I recognize that the world and nature and humanity and the animal kingdom and the entire universe was created by God, and that God has a hand in human affairs, and he has a code of righteousness, and that includes things like murder
And sodomy and sexual perversion and lust and all of the things that we have given license to by the courts, all of that will kindle the wrath of God upon a country.
And I think the bell curve of empires applies to the United States as it does to all of these empires.
You go from, you know, you start from the beginning from, you know, Freedom and liberty and you degenerate to decadence and slavery.
We're now at the decadence and slavery.
We're at the last stand.
And I think this is going to crumble the federal government, and you're going to have an anti-federalist society.
Look at Florida, look at Texas, look at the other republics, and a return to republican form of government.
People are leaving California for a reason, because they want freedom, they want to be able to carry guns to protect their family against the mob, the mob that circles these democrat, or these supreme court justices' houses, People are leaving for freedom.
They're leaving madness, like California, that is doing all sorts of perverse things.
So the whole society and the whole country is about, I think, to go through a major plate tectonic shift.
And I think America is going to transition from being a massive continent into an archipelago of freedom.
So, you know, little islands of freedom surrounded by the swamp of stupidity and leftism and in the Chas zones and things like that.
I think that's, that's happening.
And, you know, you could also have a massive influx from refugees and migrants from the southern border.
Again, the vaccine is a triggering event.
So the abortion thing, in one sense, Jim, you know, in one sense, I don't care because I'm not getting one, nor would I date or marry, you know, a girl that would be wanting to get that and all that.
People tribalize and they associate with who they want and value.
And the people who are doing the whole abortion thing are all Democrats for the first place anyway.
So I don't have a lot of sympathy or participation in that.
But it is a hot button trigger for political purposes.
I think Ginsburg in that one assessment where she says nine justices make policy for the entire country, that's the error.
That's where the states and the idea of a Republican democracy come into play and the people make the power.
All law is made by the people.
It's not made by the president.
It's not made by the court.
It's made by the people.
And that's at the heart of the rejection of this whole vaccine mandate.
The people have never made a law mandating you get a vaccine stuck in your arm.
And that's where the government has perverted it into saying, well, you have to because we passed on this authority to the health officer.
Well, the health officer doesn't have the power to enact law.
The people do.
All legal, all lawmaking shall be in the power of the people, says the Constitution.
So, I think we're, you know, again, we're witnessing a major breakup of society, and it's only going to quicken because the people who got the shot, and many others, and this whole schizophrenia of transgenderism, all that, that's leading not to a healthy, functional society, but an unhealthy, dysfunctional society that is going to become more and more degenerate and die off.
And those of us who haven't got the shot are going to be the only healthy ones in the country.
Jim?
Well, the Constitution creates three branches of government, and it seems to me the Supreme Court is exercising its properly delegated function in this case, in my opinion, mistakenly, if they're going to reverse Roe.
But the arguments against the facts and the mandates and all that are rooted in the same provisions of the Constitution that should maintain Roe, as I see it.
Hawley, your thoughts?
I think this is just a scheme by Democrats to like fundraise and I think they they understand they don't have the majority anymore of Americans.
I think that's why obviously they worked so hard to bring in migrants and work with the NGOs and at least get migrants for like a generation or two and then they realize that they're being used and they get out of the party pretty much as soon as possible.
The other issue, like Scott said, is we're already seeing these enclaves, these, you know, chas institutions of people who are insane, and they're really not even Democrats.
I mean, they're like this fringe wing of, like, the, I don't know, the Democrats use them because they're a corrupt party at this point, but even that's not their base.
I mean, these people barely vote.
They will engage in fraud.
They'll get paid to protest, which is obviously what they're doing with with the Supreme Court.
That it's been revealed that most of these people are on some sort of a dole to go out and protesting and go harass people, just as we've seen over the past few years.
Because the average person that used to go out and engage in antiwar protests or something like that, they're too afraid to go out and do that because of all the entrapment, because of the people that get involved in these things.
They're highly unstable.
There's a lot of people with drug issues, mental health issues at this point, and they're basically using people for this as well.
So we're going to see a further splintering.
All this is just indicative of that where we're seeing complete cultural shift, and ultimately that's how you break up an empire like the United States.
You have us break into these different areas which cannot Defend themselves and you stick, you know, different enclaves of insanity in between people who are trying to maintain a life and try to get through all everything that's going on right now.
And that's how you can divide and conquer.
I do believe the effort to destroy America is moving forward apace with devastating effect.
Fascinating report here.
No, abortion won't rescue the Democrats in November.
There's a lot of speculation that overturning Roe, if it happens, would be a boost to Democrats in the midterms.
There seems no doubt the decision will motivate some parts of the Democrat base, but who and how many?
Polling shows abortion is not at the highest level of voter concern, even after the leak of the draft that would end Roe.
The question Politico asked was, thinking about your vote, what would you say is a top set of issues when you cast for federal office for Senator Congress?
Seven choices.
1.
Economic issues.
2.
Security issues.
3.
Healthcare issues.
4.
Senior issues.
5.
Women's issues, including abortion.
6.
Education issues.
7.
Energy issues.
Women's issues, including abortion, rank 5th.
Out of seven.
The most important was economic, named by 41 percent of registered voters.
Next, security, with 16 percent.
Then seniors, with 10.
Healthcare, with nine.
And then women's issues, including abortion, at eight.
There was a gender gap.
Only 4% of men named women issues as most important, while 11% of women did.
That would include pro-lifers as well as pro-choicers.
Among Democrat women, all pro-choice, the number rose to 18% or nearly one in five.
So perhaps a bit less than a fifth of the female half of the Democratic electorate might be especially motivated come November.
On the other hand, look at the dominance economic issue.
Forty-one percent, given multiple choices, choose one area as most important.
That says it's really, really important.
And the poll didn't even mention inflation, which would have set the number even higher.
Voters name the economy as their top concern by a broad margin.
Abortion just isn't anywhere near.
That's just the price of financing a house, moreover, has come up too.
The buyers of a median if cut down with 30-year mortgage would have to pay a 5.10 interest rate as opposed to 2.98 a year ago, which means a monthly mortgage rate, which was only 12.35 a year ago, is now 18.34, nearly a 50% increase.
The Houston Association of Realtors reported in great detail about it.
Rents are up to 17% nationally, with all price of gas up 48% on an annual basis.
Used cars and trucks up 35.3, new cars 12.5, meat, poultry, fish, eggs up 13.7, and that is going to skyrocket.
I just filled my tank this morning.
It was over $4 right here in Oregon, Wisconsin.
Meanwhile, 81 million vote recipient Joe Biden arrives in greater Cincinnati area to zero fanfare.
No one turned out to see Joe Biden in Cincinnati.
What bullshit we have been sold.
Scott, your thoughts.
Well, we have.
We're in a civil war.
We're in a revolutionary war.
We have an idiot and a child molester for the president.
He's a fraud.
He should be executed for treason after due process of law.
As everyone who has aided and abetted this conspiracy, the overthrow of Donald Trump has been recognized by the vast majority of Americans.
It's also been recognized by Vladimir Putin, I might add, and Sergey Lavrov.
The Russians, when they've commented repeatedly on the overthrow of Donald Trump, and they've commented on the January 6th mass incarceration of patriots, the entrapment of patriots by FBI, CIA, and mercenary contractors that were based in Ukraine, a lot of them,
So we're seeing the insidious reality of the deep state, and it's only going to, again, it's going to get worse, but the conservative, the American conservative, the American Trump-supporting Republican is becoming more and more divided away from, they're splitting away from and casting off They're disconnecting from the federal government, from Washington D.C.
They're disconnecting from government in general.
They're coming back to a sense of sort of Leviathan sort of life in a jungle without a government state.
That's the inevitable metamorphosis, is when government does nothing but harm and fail you, Then you begin to just totally ignore it, like the drunken, crazy ant that you keep in the basement kind of thing.
The government is becoming that, because it's not doing anything for people, and in fact it's harming people.
And the next shoe to drop, I anticipate, is a massive false flag, probably nuclear, blaming it on Uh, Russia to quicken us into this fake war, which I hope every American soldier will say no, we're not gonna participate in a fake war.
They may assassinate Joe Biden to try and unleash a domestic terrorism force against every Trump-supporting Patriot.
We see that with the Truth Ministry and the Homeland Security Information Governance Board.
The writing's on the wall.
And the thing that they don't understand is, conservatives will not bend like warm taffy around the iron rod of liberal ideas.
Conservatives will maintain their stalwart shape and defend with lethal force if need be.
That's the real concern I have, is the police forces in America.
If they think that they can stand against the conservative traditional family value, Republicans, conservatives, the Trump supporting people in this country that overwhelmingly voted for Trump, you see the massive country, even in California, they all voted for him.
If the police think that they are going to keep their jobs in the pension by somehow rounding up or forcing or taking some sort of action against the citizenry, Then they're in for a lethal and terminal rude awakening because Americans are preparing for civil war.
They are fully already, some of them engaged in civil war quietly, but they realize that they're being handled, managed, controlled by a treasonous government that has been sold out Well, Scott, thank you for all that.
We're going to get Hawley's thoughts about these matters and what impact it may make in November after our break.
significance in their life.
And the next shoe to drop is going to be a violent one, Jim.
Well, Scott, thank you for all that.
We're going to get Holly's thoughts about these matters and what impact it may make in November after our break.
Don, take us out.
Yes, what an hour this has been.
Lots to see and share here and learn about.
Quite the topics here for Mother's Day.
