Time Text
All right, welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Thursday, April 20th.
I guess that makes it 420, doesn't it?
2023.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me.
And as you notice, also today's episode is not a studio video episode, but it will resume tomorrow.
I thought it was going to be in the studio for this one, but it didn't happen.
But I have three interviews tomorrow.
It's going to be fascinating.
I think we're also going to be talking to David Dubine.
Who just came back from a survival experience of sorts.
We'll see how that goes.
I'll ask him about it.
Should be interesting.
To start off with today, I want to give a shout out to all of the listeners here who live outside the United States.
Here's to all the expats, number one, all you Americans living in Central America, South America, or Asia, or Europe, or wherever, but also to the people who are native to those regions.
We have a lot of fans in Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada, of course, and the UK, but also in the Netherlands.
We've got a lot of fans who are Dutch people, really love the Dutch.
Thank you for all that you're doing to try to fight for food freedom over there right now against your tyrannical, insane, crazed Dutch government, if you can call them that.
They're just as crazy as the government of New Zealand, aren't they?
It's just, everywhere you go, government's gone insane.
But it was funny, Michael Yan was texting me because he's still in Panama and he's following the trail of all these illegals crossing into the United States through the Darien Gap.
And he said he ran into a group of my fans down there and he texted me.
He said, Mike, it's bizarre how many international fans you have down here in Panama for some reason.
Well, you know what?
Because I resonate with the vibe of people who live outside the United States because I did that so much of my life as well.
And as you know, those of you who are outside the U.S., you know that if you live inside the United States, you are hit with just a barrage of fake news every day, all the time from the domestic American corporate press.
And the minute you live outside the United States, you begin to get a different perspective.
Even when I lived in Taiwan decades ago, I was reading...
I forgot the name of the paper, but it was an English newspaper in Taiwan, and it had a totally different perspective about what's going on in America versus the American media.
And that was eye-opening for me.
And, you know, I just interviewed Brian Berletic of the New Atlas, and he lives in Thailand, and he's lived there, I think he said, since, what, 2004 or something?
So a couple of decades living in Thailand.
So it's not surprising that his views are very globally expansive, we'll say.
He's not stuck in the narrow-minded point of view that a lot of oblivious domestic Americans can get stuck in.
And people who read the news in other countries, they just tend to have a much broader grasp on what's happening in the world.
And also, nothing can replace your first-hand experience of, let's say, living in Panama, driving down the highway, and just seeing all that trash everywhere.
You're like, what happened?
Why is there trash everywhere here?
You don't really see it that way in the United States, typically.
You're like, my goodness.
Can't Panama pick out the trash?
What's going on?
Well, a lot of people throw garbage out the windows there.
Sad to say, and that's also true in Mexico.
I'm not putting down the Panamanians.
Overall, the Panamanian people are great people.
And overall, the Mexican people are great people.
Everywhere you go, the people tend to be overall positive people, but...
There are different experiences.
I'll just say that much.
Like when I lived in Ecuador, I remember taking a drive on a Saturday morning.
I had a driver's license in Ecuador, in Espanol.
You had to take that test in Spanish, both written and verbal, in Espanol.
So my Spanish was actually pretty decent when I lived there.
So I had a driver's license, and I was driving the truck out on Saturday morning.
And I'll never forget, you had to dodge passed out people in the road.
Because they just partied a little too much on Friday night, drank a little too much.
And they didn't just pass out on sidewalks, they passed out in the streets.
Even in small town Ecuador.
It's like, okay, well, these people know how to party.
I'll just swerve, you know?
So you swerve, you dodge around.
And I'll never forget driving on those mountainous, curvy roads in Ecuador, which are also shared by, you know, many countries, Colombia and Panama in some cases, and Peru.
You name it, these really dangerous, treacherous roads.
And in Ecuador, every time somebody dies on one of these roads...
They paint a white symbol on the road where that person died.
And I'm going by memory here.
Is it a white cross?
Might be a white cross or a white heart.
I forgot which symbol it is, but those of you, if you live there, you know what I'm talking about.
And you can always tell when you're coming up on a dangerous curve because there's like symbol, symbol, symbol, symbol, symbol.
You're like, you're thinking, oh my God, 12 people died on that curve.
And you know how they die, by the way?
They die passing the bolquetas, which are the big trucks that are carrying rocks and stuff.
You know, the big dump trucks.
I think they're called bolquetas.
They try to pass them around a curve on the inside lane, and then they have a head-on collision.
And then, boom, two people die, at least two, and then they add two crosses to that curve.
So that's actually the death statistics tracking system for the roadways in Ecuador.
I'm not making it up.
That's how it works.
That's how you know, oh my god, this is a dangerous corner.
Maybe I should stay in my lane.
It actually serves a purpose.
And this is part of the Latino culture, by the way.
Even in Texas, when there's a bad fatality at an intersection, the family members, especially if they're more Hispanic or Latino, they will put up a cross and flowers and just a little memorial right there where that accident happened.
And if you live in central Texas, or I guess any part of Texas, long enough, you'll come to remember like, oh yeah, there's a lot of crosses at that intersection.
Maybe I should slow the bleep down.
Or, you know, don't push the yellow light or something because a lot of people died here.
It's true.
Now, the Europeans, for the most part, aren't like that.
The Europeans follow rules really well, sometimes a little too well, like in Germany.
But in Europe, you don't have to worry about people cutting in line.
Everybody stands in line and takes their turn.
They're very orderly, which is something to like about Europe.
You're standing in line.
You don't have to elbow your way up to the front.
You've got your place in line.
Now, try that in Mexico or in Peru.
Totally different story.
Different story.
Everybody's crowding and pushing and shoving and cutting in front of each other.
Give me the front of the line.
But that's just different cultures.
It's fascinating.
So one of the reasons, by the way, that I've had this international perspective about events in the world for such a long time, and you may not know this about me, but My father worked for an airline.
And when I was in my teenage years, I guess when I was in middle school and in high school, My father would take me to all these different cities because we could fly standby, which meant you could fly for free.
Because back in those days, in the, let's say, the late 1970s and early 1980s, the airlines were regulated, which meant all the ticket prices were regulated.
Like from City A to City B, the government would set the price.
The airlines couldn't set their own rates, so there were no affordable rates.
All the air travel was expensive.
It was government controlled.
And as a result, the airlines competed on service.
Since they all had to charge exactly the same rates, they would compete on better meals.
And so the meals were awesome.
And there were times when my dad would take me and he's like, okay, where do you want to go this weekend?
You know, I'm going to go to San Francisco because back in those days it wasn't a crap hole.
And we'd go, okay, let's go to San Francisco.
Just line up at the San Francisco gate, you know, get on standby.
And then they would call your name after the plane boarded.
And usually the planes were at least one third empty because the tickets were very expensive because the government set the rates.
So the planes were mostly not full at that time.
You had a lot of luggage room.
And the meals were awesome.
Sometimes we would fly around just to have the meals.
It was incredible.
Like if you get on a plane free of charge, because this is what the airline did, and it was a seniority system.
The longer you worked there, the sooner your name got called on standby.
But you could just line up at an airport in New York City or JFK Airport.
You could just fly to London for free.
And you get this awesome first class meal.
And it was like, this is so awesome.
Let's just turn around and fly back to JFK. And a lot of people did this.
And so I got to fly all over.
I got to fly to Spain and the UK and Ireland, by the way.
And then flew, of course, to a lot of domestic destinations like Hawaii and California and Florida and all over and some international destinations as well.
And for the most part, I was too young to fully appreciate what this was, but I was getting a view of a larger world than just the Midwest, where I grew up.
And that perspective stuck with me all these years.
And I'll never forget, the best airline food in the world was the free airline food when you flew standby.
We even went to, well, we took a hovercraft across the English Channel.
Remember that.
It didn't seem like it was hovering much.
It was really bumpy for some reason.
They should call it a bumper craft.
And then it was like a hovercraft ferry.
I don't know if they still have those.
And then we took a boat to Palma de Mallorca.
Which is in the Mediterranean Sea.
Those of you in Europe, you probably know about Palma de Mallorca.
And I call that the vomit boat because the boat was way too small and the seas were way too rough.
And half the people on that boat vomited, including myself.
Problem was there was no place left to vomit because other people had vomited first.
And, man, they had to hose that thing down by the time we got off in Palma de Mallorca.
It was like, oh, my God, this is like Queasyville over here.
Yeah, you don't forget these experiences, you know, but they're real.
There was this time that my wife and I were in Peru and we were trying to take a train to Cusco.
And we didn't speak much Spanish at that time, or hardly any, actually.
Not good.
And they said, yeah, this train goes to Cusco.
We're like, great.
And they said, and Lima.
We're like, what?
What do you mean?
They're like, yeah, this train goes to Cusco.
how would you say that in espanol like esta tren va a ir a cusco or no yeah cusco okay great great awesome uh y lima they would say you're like what what do you mean How can a train go to two places?
And it turns out that we got on this train and went up this mountain.
And at the top of the mountain...
The train split in two.
Some guy got out and he just unhooked the train in the middle.
And then one half just goes another direction.
We're like, oh my gosh!
Fortunately, that was the half that went to Lima.
And then our half went to Cusco, which is where we wanted to go.
We were like, man, that was a close call.
That was a 50-50.
Coin toss right there.
We could have ended up in Lima.
Yeah, you don't forget these things.
So here's a shout out to all of you listening who have ever been adventurous enough to go to a country where you don't speak the language and you took your chances and you made it out alive.
Good on you.
That's the spirit.
And by the way, that's why when people ask me, why do you live in Texas?
My answer is honest.
Because I've been almost everywhere else.
I've seen everything else.
I've seen, you know, I've seen Canada.
I've seen Hong Kong.
I've seen Australia.
I've seen California.
Hey, I'm in Texas by choice.
I've seen what the rest of the world looks like.
And it doesn't add up in my book.
Of course, then again...
I am a pro-Second Amendment person, and we'll start with one of those stories here in a second.
I didn't mean to distract you for this long, but I like Texas because it's legal to own large firearms.
Now, for those of you who live in Washington State, which of course, traditionally Washington has been a great state, but of course it's been taken over by radical left-wing Marxist lunatics now, and they just passed a semi-automatic rifle ban It's made it through both houses of the state legislature, and it's going to be signed by the governor into law.
Now, this is basically Washington state banning the Second Amendment.
So according to this new law, you cannot buy or sell or distribute or manufacture or import Pretty much everything you want.
AR-15s, AK-47s, you know, any kind of semi-automatic rifle.
Now, completely illegal, illegal to have in, or not to possess, but to buy, sell, distribute, or manufacture in Washington State.
That's crazy.
Now, the law does not criminalize those people who already own those firearms.
And, of course, this law is going to be challenged.
But I want to mention, Remember the Kali Key product?
K-A-L-I-K-E-Y? Kali Key?
I haven't mentioned this in a while, and perhaps I should have, but Kali Key, it's a replacement for the bolt carrier group on an AR-15, and it turns an AR-15, a semi-automatic rifle, into a single-shot or, you know, a bolt-action rifle, just by replacing the bolt carrier group.
So...
Technically, technically, everybody in the state of Washington.
Now, let me just say you should check your local laws.
I'm not the expert on this.
In fact, check, what's it called?
Washington Gun Law.
The expert there, I interviewed him, and he's got a YouTube channel.
He's probably a good place to check all this, Washington Gun Law.
But it's your responsibility to know your local laws.
But consider the possibility of buying one of these Kali Keys and the website, again, K-A-L-I-K-E-Y, I believe, KaliKey.com, and they'll ship you this bolt carrier group thing.
Well, it's a replacement for your BCG. And then you just pop open your rifle.
I mean, you just take out one pin.
This takes 60 seconds.
You slide out your BCG. You slide in this new one from Kali Key, and boom, now you have a bolt-action rifle.
And then it complies.
At least this is my understanding.
Again, you check your local laws.
And, you know, I would never encourage you to do anything illegal.
I'm actually quite meticulous about following gun laws.
I don't have anything illegal.
I don't recommend anything illegal.
But I believe this makes it compliant because then it turns your AR-15, which still looks like an AR-15.
It's just a bolt-action AR at this point.
And then the question becomes, can you hold on to that BCG? That would allow your rifle to become a regular semi-automatic rifle in 60 seconds.
Let's say if the country collapsed, which seems to be happening, if the zombies took over, if the Chinese invaded, I don't know, all kinds of weird scenarios.
If the mob of Seattle started branching out into the suburbs and you needed to defend your community with the help of local law enforcement, you're going to need semi-automatic fire, right?
At least, you know, theoretically.
So can you hold on to your BCG? Because I don't think, but again, you check the laws if you live, I don't think Washington outlawed bolt carrier groups.
And I don't know about you, but I have spare BCGs.
You know why?
Because, well, I like the nickel boron BCGs that you can buy on various online retailers like, you know, Palmetto State Armory or wherever.
I like the nickel boron variety.
And so normally, if you get a new AR-15 and normally just comes with a regular BCG, I take that out and I put in a nickel boron BCG because it's a non-stick BCG. It's like Teflon.
Works better.
Doesn't jam as much.
And those nickel boron BCGs, they're only $129 or something like that, typically.
And then I have an extra BCG sitting around, which of course has an extra bolt and an extra bolt extractor, an extra bolt extractor spring, and those little tiny O-rings inside that bolt that you always lose.
So I have spares of all that stuff, right?
Because I'm a prepper.
Anyway, if I were you, if you were living in Washington State, I would check out to see if you can legally own BCGs while your rifles turn into a bolt-action rifle.
That would be a handy thing to have.
Now, of course, the gun control zealots, they're all irrational, left-wing, you know, woke-tard lunatics anyway.
obviously criminals aren't going to turn in their ARs.
Criminals aren't going to abide by the law by definition.
They're criminals.
The only people that are going to be hurt by this are, of course, law-abiding citizens who will, you know, they will comply.
They'll turn their rifle into bolt action or whatever.
Or maybe just disassemble, take out the BCG.
I don't know.
Does that make it compliant?
It doesn't even fire.
But then again, you need something to defend your house, you know, against all the violence that's being unleashed by the Democrats on purpose.
They're letting the lunatics go on the streets, the murderers, the robbers, the rapists, the home invasion thieves.
And you're supposed to be disarmed, really?
Is that it?
You're not supposed to be able to defend yourself with a 30-round magazine and a semi-automatic rifle?
Well, what are you supposed to do?
What, dial 911 and just wait to die?
Because they defunded the police.
So there are no good options in the state of Washington.
Fortunately, a lot of gun groups are suing Washington State.
Or they will file suit as soon as it's signed into law.
And in the meantime, you can hold on to the AR-15s that you already have and just see how this law gets overturned because it obviously violates the Second Amendment.
Now, if you ask me, why is Governor Inslee signing this law?
Why does he want to take the guns away from the law-abiding citizens of Washington State?
Well, I know the answer.
It's obvious.
I mean, some people are going to say, oh, it's a conspiracy.
No, it isn't.
Washington State is where they built the quarantine camps, you know, the death camps for the pandemics.
And, you know, they're still building them, right?
They're staffing them, they're ramping them up, getting ready for the next pandemic.
They just want to make sure, at least this is my theory, Governor Inslee...
Who is a tyrant?
You know, he's an authoritarian, left-wing, lunatic, lawless tyrant.
I mean, he's a Democrat.
Need I say more?
He doesn't want there to be any resistance when they round up people and throw them into the death camps and exterminate them.
Because they plan to carry out a 299 days type of scenario in the Pacific Northwest.
That's a reference to a book series by, I think, Glenn Tate.
Excellent book series.
Pretty much lays out what's about to happen.
299 days.
Yeah, check it out.
That goes back a few years, but it's a great series.
Well, Governor Inslee, at least in my thinking here, Governor Inslee just wants to make sure the population is completely disarmed so that no one can resist the The death camp roundups.
Of course that's what's coming.
Of course that's where this goes.
You know, we talked about the globalists declaring war on rice yesterday.
That shocked a lot of people.
I can't believe they're attacking food that feeds half the planet.
Really?
Well, their war is on you.
Of course they're going to attack your food.
But that's just the warm-up round.
They're coming for you, too.
And we know they're going to have another pandemic here.
We know those quarantine camps were constructed for a reason.
We know Jay Inslee ran a bunch of lockdown practice rounds.
Well, they weren't just practice.
They were real.
But he was gearing up for what's coming next.
Lockdowns, mandates, death camps.
Yeah.
Welcome to Washington State.
Remember, Seattle is where they allowed left-wing terrorists to take over six city blocks.
Remember that?
Left-wing terrorists just seized the city, and Inslee was all on the side of the terrorists.
Isn't that amazing?
Did you know, by the way, that the DOJ has now charged several people who were part of that Charlottesville protest, I mean, six years ago.
Remember Charlottesville?
And then that crazy guy in that car ran over some people or something, and he...
Did he kill a person?
One woman, I think?
I don't recall all the details.
Anyway, that was Charlottesville.
The DOJ is charging people with felony crimes for carrying tiki torches during that event because the DOJ says that they had an incendiary device intended to intimidate.
That's the charge.
Did you know that was a crime?
To carry a tiki torch?
In a...
In a protest, even if you didn't commit any violence at all, the DOJ says you intended to intimidate people.
But then when these radical leftists took over downtown Seattle and shot people and basically kidnapped people, none of those people are being arrested that ran that operation.
The DOJ doesn't care about that.
Why?
Because that was left-wing violence.
Left-wing violence is completely okay with the DOJ and the FBI and the mainstream media.
They don't care about left-wing violence.
What about all the left-wing Antifa people and BLM people that were throwing Molotov cocktails during the Trump administration?
They were attacking federal buildings.
They were burning them.
They were shining lasers in the eyes of a federal government.
Officers, federal law enforcement people, like State Department people.
Very few of those leftists ever got arrested or prosecuted.
But if you walked around in Charlottesville with a tiki torch, you're now facing like 20 years in prison.
Do you know that?
Yeah.
See, it's not a justice system.
It's selective prosecution.
And Jay Inslee of Washington State is all on board with that.
He will allow any amount of an insurrection by deranged, lunatic, left-wing domestic terrorists.
No problem for Inslee.
It's those darn conservative Christian gun owners that have to be locked up and put in the camps and exterminated, according to the way left-wing people think.
So don't be surprised if that's what comes.
Don't be surprised at all.
Not saying that you should, you know, commit any sort of violence.
I'm saying that we should stop the violence.
We should stop the violence.
We should be able to live in peace.
And wouldn't it be great if your own government officials weren't at war with humanity?
Or at war with Christians?
Or at war against Christians?
I don't know.
It seems like conservatives, gun owners, white people sometimes.
It's crazy.
So anyway, de-escalate violence is my advice.
Don't escalate it.
Don't be a pawn in the narrative control system of the corporate media and the radical left.
They want violence.
That's why they're trying to provoke violence between trans people and non-trans people.
Did you know that?
Yeah.
We've reached out.
We're going to have a pro-Second Amendment gay person joining me for an interview.
I don't recall his name at the moment, but he was featured in that documentary recently.
And we're going to have him on and ask him about the LGB community and Second Amendment and what's going on or more.
Because, you know, I believe in Second Amendment rights for everybody, by the way, including trans people.
I mean, if you're trans and you're a law-abiding citizen and you just enjoy cross-dressing and you want to carry a gun and you don't cause violence, hey...
No reason why you shouldn't be able to also practice self-defense as far as I'm concerned.
Everybody who's law-abiding and mentally stable, let's add that in there.
People have got to be mentally stable.
Not undergoing psychiatric treatment for being a totally crazy person, which these days, how can you tell?
How can you tell?
I mean, they're cutting off the genitals, children.
In the medical centers, that should count as crazy, but whatever.
I'm sure that's going on in Washington State.
You can't have a BCG in your AR, but you can chop off the genitals of little children.
That's all thumbs up with Jay Inslee.
Yeah, child mutilations, good.
Self-defense, bad.
Yeah, welcome to Washington.
Makes me wonder, you know, kind of a conundrum for leftists.
What if left-wing doctors mutilated children's genitalia using firearms?
Would they be for that or against that?
Because you could see that that would be a logical conundrum for those people.
Smoke would come out of their ears.
It does not compute!
I mean, they really want to mutilate children, but they just don't like guns at all.
So they use scalpels.
How convenient.
And then they call it medicine.
Yeah.
Twisted demonic creatures, aren't they?
But I do feel sorry for all the people in rural Washington because there's so many great folks there east of Seattle, you know?
Washington's a pretty big state, and most of the actual landmass of Washington is populated by pretty decent people.
But just like with Oregon and California, it's the lunatics that concentrate in the cities that ruin it for everybody else.
I would think that a lot of people in eastern Washington are pretty much saying to themselves, I'm moving to Idaho.
This is bonkers.
Can't even have an AR-15 in this state.
I'm moving to Idaho.
There's AR-15s galore.
We'll see what happens.
Of course, once this gun ban goes into effect, if it does, crime will go up.
And that's by design.
Crime is always planned to go up by these left-wing Democrats.
They want more crime so they can have a bigger crisis and have more government power while victimizing more innocent people.
That's their plan.
Why do you think Lori Lightfoot was replaced by what's his name?
Brandon Johnson in Chicago.
Did you see the new mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson?
He's out there apologizing for the looting mob of violent criminal youth.
That took over downtown Chicago last weekend, and they're planning to double down on that this coming weekend.
Oh yeah, that should be interesting.
So when the youth burn down Chicago, the mayor of Chicago is going to say, don't blame them, they're young people.
Yeah, the mayor of Chicago is going to probably...
Throw Molotov cocktails along with the young domestic terrorists and he'll probably defund the police and order them to back down and just burn down his own city and say, this is justice, you know?
That's Brandon Johnson for you right there.
He's an actual communist, by the way.
And if the city of Chicago burns down You know, the people of Chicago kind of had that coming to themselves because they voted for this guy?
They voted for this communist, lunatic, violent left-wing...
I mean, what did they think was going to happen?
They voted for this guy.
He's like Lori Lightfoot on steroids.
He's like the super bad, demonic version of Lori Lightfoot, which I know, she seems that way already.
But it's like if you took Lori Lightfoot and you combined her with Hannibal Lecter or something, that would be Brandon Johnson.
The guy's insane.
So we're going to get a lot of crazy stories out of Chicago for the next couple of years.
Make no mistake, now the corporate media won't cover it because...
When, you know, when Blue City people shoot other Blue City people in Blue Cities like Chicago, the media just, they ignore that.
Oh, that never happened.
Even though on any given three-day weekend in Chicago, there might be 50 people shot.
Actually, sometimes it happens in one day.
And now with Brandon Johnson at the helm, he's going to be aiming for the high score.
Can we get 100 shootings in one weekend in Chicago?
I'm pretty sure they're going to get that probably this year.
But then again, who's still living in Chicago at this point?
Is anybody listening to this still living in Chicago?
I mean, I gotta wonder, what for?
Do you not see what's coming?
When the mayor says it's okay for left-wing terrorists to burn down the city, you might want to relocate.
Just saying.
Might be time to think about that.
You know, before your property price goes to zero.
But hey, as long as we're taking a tour of brilliant ideas from Democrats, let me read this headline for you from Fox News.
A Biden rule will redistribute high-risk loan costs to homeowners with good credit.
Okay, so let's parse this here for a second.
Essentially, a new rule that's about to go into effect from the Biden administration, you know, the fake puppet proxy president, as we say, the PPP, It will, quote, force good credit homebuyers to subsidize the loans of bad credit homebuyers.
You got that?
So if you have good credit, you will be penalized.
Now, of course, this is a Democrat plan.
It sounds like exactly what the Democrats would do.
If you have bad credit, you'll get more freebies because, of course, the Democrats want to chase bad money with more money.
If you make horrible decisions about money, the Democrats want to give you more money because that's who they are.
That's how they operate.
That's why all their cities are collapsing.
If you make good decisions with money, they want to punish you because, of course, that's what Democrats do.
Just like they want to punish law-abiding gun owners but hand out unlimited power to the criminals by releasing them onto the streets and not restricting their gun ownership, obviously, because criminals don't obey the laws.
So again, if you have a large down payment, if you have a high credit score, the Biden administration will penalize you.
You will be required to subsidize the subprime housing market.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
I mean, it's going to be a federal rule.
Now, what does this remind you of?
It should remind you of the electricity rate scheme in California that we covered the other day, where people who earn more money have to pay higher fixed monthly rates for most of their electrical service, whereas people who earn less will pay much lower whereas people who earn less will pay much lower fixed rates, regardless of how much electricity they use, according to the press release.
So some portion of their electric bill, if you're poor enough, you'll only pay $30 a month under Edison.
If you're poor enough.
Yeah.
If you're wealthy, you'll pay maybe triple that, something in that range.
So once again, this is another program where they're making higher income people subsidize the lower income people With electricity and now mortgages.
But I thought we already covered that with taxation, didn't we?
Because the higher income people pay a lot more taxes.
You know, we have a very progressive tax system.
And if you earn a lot of money, you're going to pay a lot of tax.
I thought that covered that.
I thought the government, like, that should have been it.
Because the government programs are already out there to give more assistance to people of lower incomes and so on, but they have to sock it to you again with the mortgages?
Hey folks, one more reason to pay cash if you can, even if it's a smaller home.
So these new rules from the Federal Housing Finance Agency, yeah, they actually paid people's salaries to come up with these little shenanigan financial tricks here.
This goes into effect May 1st.
And here's Ian Wright, a senior loan officer at Bay Equity Home Loans, talking to the Washington Times.
He says, quote, the changes do not make sense.
Yeah, of course they don't.
They're from Democrats.
Penalizing borrowers with larger down payments and credit scores will not go over well, he says.
It overcomplicates things for consumers during a process that can already feel overwhelming with the amount of paperwork, jargon, and so on.
Confusing the borrower is never a good thing.
Well, but, of course, it is a good thing if you're part of the Democrat regime.
You want to confuse people as much as possible.
You don't want people to understand what's going on.
Now, let me ask you one other question on this.
If the federal government is forcing...
Good credit homeowners to subsidize the loans of bad credit homeowners.
Haven't we already seen this movie?
Wasn't it called The Big Short?
Just a little bit different orientation.
You know, this already happened in 2007 and 2008.
We already had the home mortgage collapse because too many loans were given to people who couldn't afford them.
Remember the ninja loans?
Yeah, no, what was it?
No income, no job.
What is it?
No income, no job.
Yeah, application.
Ninja loans.
And people just lie on their applications.
How much do you make?
A million dollars.
Okay, we believe you.
Here, you can have this home.
And the banks, you know, collapse.
And what Bear Stearns is no more.
And, you know, a lot of banks almost went under if not for the massive multi-trillion dollar bailout.
And what was that all about?
What caused that?
Oh, it was the government pushing banks to offer loans to people who couldn't afford them.
By the way, it was a social engineering program that coerced the banks into making loans to people who did not qualify for those loans.
This was all about creating the false impression that America's economy is doing great.
It's doing great because so many people own homes.
Look at that.
Look at all those homeowners out there.
Of course, they couldn't afford those homes.
And then the whole system collapsed.
And then we had the movie The Big Short, one of the best movies ever.
Which was, I believe, actually based on a book.
I don't know if it's the best book ever, but it became the best, one of the best movies ever, for sure.
So guess where we're going now?
We're going to the big short version, too, here.
Because, look, tyrants, you know, oppressive lunatics, they never learn.
Because they never see themselves as the source of the problem.
I mean, you look at these Democrats in power today.
First of all, they rigged the election to get into power.
They ran mules.
They stuffed ballot boxes.
They censored, by the way, they censored Trump supporters.
That was White House censorship.
That's election interference right there.
The DOJ should be arresting the people at the White House who ran that thing.
That's illegal.
They censored people's voices just because people supported Trump.
Election interference.
But of course these Democrats never understand that they are the problem.
They just double down, triple down on their stupidity and their tyranny and they just think if we have more control and we have more subsidies, more taxation and more restrictions and take away more guns from more people, everything's going to be fine.
But it never is.
Violence gets worse in the cities.
The economic collapse accelerates.
Inflation gets worse.
You know, the culture wars continue to, you know, fester.
Everything gets worse under Democrat rule.
Why?
Because they're lunatics.
They don't understand how anything works.
They don't understand cause and effect or economics or history or the Constitution, the rule of law, logic or reason or even biology for that matter.
So, of course, nothing they do ever works.
It just makes things worse.
And whatever people keep voting for Democrats are obviously insane.
Or they just enjoy punishment or something.
I don't know.
Gullible minds.
Oh, but hey, let's make it a little more upbeat and lighthearted here.
Yes, if you want to do your part as an American to help house illegal immigrants in your home...
The State Department has launched a new program called the Welcome Corps.
Yeah, it's the Welcome Corps, and Blinken is actually announcing the Welcome Corps.
So you know all those illegals that are traversing the Darien Gap and coming to the United States so that Joe Biden can declare them to have amnesty so they can vote in 2024?
You know all those people?
Well, yeah, the government wants them to stay in your spare bedroom, or maybe your master bedroom.
So the Welcome Corps, this is a new program that, quote, empowers everyday Americans to play a leading role in welcoming refugees, right, arriving through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.
And supporting their resettlement and integration as they build new lives in the United States.
Well, except most of these people don't want to integrate.
Most of them, not all, but most of them want to occupy and overthrow the United States and turn it into the same socialist hellhole they fled themselves.
There's a Substack article talking about this.
It says, quote, the idea that Joe Biden is going to let millions of people walk across the southern border and then ask you to take them in as if you were adopting a pet from a shelter may sound like the plot of a Saturday Night Live skit.
When you consider it in context, however, it seems completely consistent with this administration's policy.
Okay.
The article goes on and says, it is now the explicit formal policy of the United States government to ensure the orderly movement of huge numbers of people into this country.
We're not trying to stop them and failing.
We are bringing them here on purpose.
And, you know, if you don't believe me, just go watch my interviews with Michael Yan from last week where we talked to some of those people going through the Darien Gap, and sure enough, They're moving right through.
Right through the gap and all the way to the United States.
I guess the Biden regime expects a typical American to say, okay, yeah, even though, let's see, I lived here my whole life.
I worked my whole adult life.
I paid taxes into the system.
I contributed to this society and helped build it.
And yeah, let me just give you my house.
And you can outvote me in the next election.
Take my house, take my country, take my culture, take my future.
Just take it.
Because that's what Blinken wants.
That's what Biden wants.
That's what the Democrats want.
That is until the cyborgs are ready, at which point, of course, the humans will be disposable, obviously.
They've already ramped up the war on rice.
What's next?
Well, terminators, obviously.
See, the Democrats only need these illegals for the next election or two.
After that, they don't need them.
After that, they're going to give AI systems voting rights.
Yeah, trust me, that's coming.
They're going to give them personhood.
And then they don't need illegals or migrants at all.
And you're going to find, oh, some horrible thing has happened that was allowed to happen by the Democrats because people are disposable to them.
They don't give a crap about a human life, a human being, a human spirit, nothing.
For them, it's all about power at any cost, no matter who suffers.
That's why they're running these migration camps in Panama that subject women to being raped, subject people to dying, violence and robberies and everything all through Panama.
It's not the fault of Panama, by the way.
The Panamanian government hates these camps.
They're trying to shut them down.
But it's the U.S. State Department that's funding these camps and driving people through there and actually creating a massive problem for Panama.
Well, and other countries as well, including Costa Rica.
You know, the Biden regime is not even pretending to defend the border.
It's not even their policy.
They're just saying, we're just going to take everybody in.
And the Democrats go along with it.
Really, the Democrats are kind of a suicide cult.
They don't even believe in their own sustainable existence.
They are a suicide cult.
And that doesn't even get into the climate cultists who really want to kill themselves, but they want to take you with them too.
Folks, it's insane.
We will have no country if these lunatics stay in power and continue to deliberately overrun our borders.
They're actually paying...
For our borders to be overrun.
They are funding the invasion of our country with mostly military-aged men, by the way.
It is an invasion.
It is a replacement.
And anybody who denies that is lying to you.
Of course it's replacement.
They want to make American people obsolete.
They want to replace you.
Because, you know, you're not as reliable.
You're not as malleable.
You might believe in the Second Amendment or something like that.
You might have grown up saying I pledge allegiance to the flag.
They don't want that.
They want new people to come in who they can shape and control and mind bleep into obedience.
That's what they want.
So that's who they're bringing in.
Now, let's talk about Trump here for a second because Breitbart ran a story on this.
Trump endorses using the military to crush cartels.
He says, I would do that.
He told Breitbart News he supports a proposal from Michael Waltz and Dan Crenshaw.
Really?
Eyepatch McCain?
That would authorize the use of military force against Mexican drug cartels to target the criminal enterprises and dismantle them.
I would do that, Trump said.
Asked about Congressman's authorization for the use of military force legislation.
Now, Let me warn you about this AUMF. This is the Authorization for Use of Military Force.
So if you want to turn the entire southern region of the United States into a military police state, this would be a great thing.
If you want to have soldiers in your house, like violating the Third Amendment, if you live in Texas or Arizona, California, New Mexico, or even Florida, frankly, If you want to have soldiers in your house and you want to give up all your constitutional rights and you want to have soldiers going door-to-door confiscating your firearms, then you should support this AUMF that Trump apparently supports.
He wants to use the military to crush the cartels.
The problem is the cartels are in America, which means Trump wants to deploy the military in America, which means, well, there goes posse comitatus, right?
There go your civil rights.
Gone.
You're not supposed to have soldiers policing American cities and towns.
There's a reason for that.
We fought a war with Britain over that very point.
It's a bad idea.
Trump needs to rethink this.
Or maybe Trump means, no, no, no, we're going to have the soldiers go into Mexico and take care of the cartels there.
Really?
You're going to invade Mexico?
Is that your plan?
So, I mean, Trump is either saying that he wants to occupy America with the military, which is highly illegal, unethical, unconstitutional, and it's a horrifying situation, or he wants to invade Mexico with America's military.
How's that going to go down?
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
What a joy that will be.
There goes the avocado supply, for one thing.
I'm always keeping an eye on the avocado supply because I need them for my smoothies.
So much for the avocados.
But really, you're going to invade Mexico?
And how's that going to work?
Especially given, well, let me just preempt this by saying I am 100% pro-America and pro-India.
Active duty soldiers and veterans.
Okay, don't get me wrong.
Don't misinterpret me.
I support our men and women in uniform.
I support national defense.
I support our military.
I support the United States of America.
But I also know that our military ain't what it used to be.
We've run out of munitions.
I mean, for the most part, because we've sent so many artillery rounds to Ukraine.
So...
What are we going to fight with exactly?
And, you know, we've talked about how, what is it, 10% of the Army soldiers are obese because they got all overweight during the COVID lockdowns?
What are they doing, sitting in the Army barracks eating Cheetos?
Yeah, they're too fat to fight now.
And we don't have a recruitment capability in this country anymore because so many of the youth are well too obese to be recruited.
So the military can't meet its recruitment goals at all.
That's another crisis.
And then you have a culture, especially at that age, the recruitment age, they're so dumbed down by the woke educational system, they don't have any skills that would translate into the military.
It used to be you go into the military and you could learn some pretty amazing skills, but you had to have some kind of high school education.
You had to understand that 2 plus 2 equals 4 because they were going to teach you ballistics or radio comms and signals collection or whatever.
They were going to teach you stuff, so you had to have some brains functioning.
Today it's all woke-ified, woke-tard city.
The wokes go into the military and they can't do anything.
They've never had to do anything.
They've all received, you know, participation ribbons in their high school sporting events where they never kept score.
And so a lot of these youth, you throw them into the military, you're like, pick up that rifle soldier, and they're like, I feel triggered, you know.
Are you kidding me?
They can't do anything.
So compare that to the Mexican drug cartels.
Now, again, just to be clear, I am no fan of the Mexican drug cartels.
They can be quite violent, obviously.
They are a criminal element, and they threaten, and they murder a lot of people.
They murder journalists, for that matter.
I'm not a fan of the cartels.
But, honestly stated, the men that make up the cartels, they are not sissies.
I mean, let's be honest about it.
They are not woke.
They are not soy boys.
They are some rough, tough, bad dudes.
In every sense of the term, they are bad dudes.
They're like prison rough kind of guys that you don't want to tumble with.
You know what I mean?
And they know how to shoot.
They have a lot of experience with firearms.
Sending and receiving rifle rounds.
They might know how to work with explosives.
Who knows?
My point is, they're not sissies.
They didn't grow up in a sissy culture.
Many of them grew up on the streets.
A lot of them are ex-Mexican military or law enforcement, by the way.
And then they joined the narco gangs because, well, you know, it pays better and then the gangs won't kill you.
I mean, it's a complex situation.
My point is that And I know you might find this shocking, but I think if the United States military, as it is currently configured under the woke Pentagon leaders, if it were to engage with the Mexican drug cartels in Mexico, I think the drug cartels would win.
I really do.
Now, some people may disagree.
Okay, fine.
But you want to fight another Vietnam in Mexico?
Really?
Because that would be a guerrilla war situation.
What are you going to do?
Roll in your 155mm artillery and just start blowing up Mexican towns full of innocent civilians?
Is that the plan?
No, you can't do that.
So all your soldiers in Mexico are just going to get killed off by the narco cartel gang members who are actually good at killing people and actually have armored vehicles that are more armored up than the Humvees that the military has, by the way.
American soldiers get slaughtered in Mexico.
Don't take this lightly.
Don't think that just because they're drug cartels that they don't know what they're doing.
These people are actually very good at logistics and distribution and killing.
They are experts at it.
And of course, I live in Texas.
I don't want Texas to be turned into a freaking war zone.
Troops on the streets because Trump wants to wage war with Mexico but didn't make it to Mexico yet so the war is happening in Texas.
Really?
Trump needs to rethink that.
It's easy to talk tough.
Like, we're going to use the military!
Why don't you just use the military to defend the border?
That would be a legal use of the military.
How about that?
Let's just start there.
If you defend the border...
Number one, that is constitutional.
That's part of what the military is supposed to do, is defend the borders of the country.
And secondly, then you automatically kind of, you stop the flow of drugs and human trafficking and weapons trafficking and everything else.
Just defend the freaking border.
Put the military on the border.
Have like a DMZ down there.
You know, like they have in Korea.
Just put up a whole new bunch of signs like, okay, two miles from this sign, this is a DMZ. Anybody who comes in this, Going to get shot.
That would stop the trafficking in no time.
Trump occasionally has some crazy ideas, but his ideas are, of course, far better than Joe Biden's lack of ideas, or frankly, better than any Democrat's ideas.
But Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
just announced his presidency, and of course, the Democrat-controlled media lied about his polling.
They said that RFK Jr.
is only polling at 14% among Democrats.
They claim that something like two-thirds of Democrats want Joe Biden to run again.
Are you kidding me?
That's all made up.
How much do you want to bet?
RFK Jr.
probably has over 50% support among Democrats.
And probably 20% support among Republicans, too, come to think of it.
So I am hoping that RFK Jr.
gets the Democrat nomination.
And by the way, it looks like Trump's going to get the Republican nomination from the trajectory so far, although a lot can still change.
And I think that would be an excellent matchup for the next election.
Wouldn't it be cool to have RFK Jr.
versus Donald J. Trump?
I mean, that would be historic.
Just epic debates right there.
Let's talk about vaccines.
Let's talk about Fauci.
Let's talk about energy policy.
Let's talk about the climate, huh?
Let's talk about the Second Amendment.
I don't even know where RFK Jr.
stands on the Second Amendment, but being that he's a Democrat, I'm a little concerned that he might not support us owning AR-15s.
I don't know.
I guess sooner or later somebody will ask him that.
But we know Trump is mostly pro-Second Amendment, but then Trump supported the bump stock ban.
Which was recently overturned by the Fifth Circuit, by the way.
So Trump is actually in favor of banning certain types of hardware for rifles.
That's concerning as well.
So look, both candidates have pluses and minuses, pros and cons.
But anybody would be better than Joe Biden.
We can all agree on that.
You know, in his announcement speech, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., He said that after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, that President Kennedy, JFK, came out and said, quote, I want to take the CIA and shatter it into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the wind.
And right now, Bobby Kennedy here is calling for dismantling the military industrial complex that has given rise to the bioweapons.
That are now, of course, devastating our planet.
They were developed by the Department of Defense.
You know that.
He knows that.
So there's a question.
Would Trump kind of defend the DOD more?
Because Trump really likes to fund the military, even if it's going to bioweapons in China.
Not with his knowledge, but it gets diverted into bioweapons, you know.
Whereas Robert F. Kennedy Jr., I think, would try to defund the military-industrial complex.
So it could be an interesting shakeup.
Let's see what happens.
In any case, as you know, I don't think the United States of America as we know it even survives to the end of 2025.
I've had that prediction on the books for a long time.
I'll be really surprised if we make it to, let's say, Christmas of 2025 and something hasn't broken significantly in this country, like how many states we have or the collapse of the money system, collapse of the dollar.
World War III breaks out and our country gets nuked or some horrible thing happens.
I do not see a good short-term situation here for America.
Good in the long term.
Good in the long term because we're going to rebuild.
That's why it's critical to stay alive and navigate all this.
But in the short term, not looking good, no matter who's president.
But I'm not going anywhere.
I'm going to stay in Texas and have a front row seat to whatever horrors are unleashed against the United States.
Or if we end up in a war with the Mexican drug cartels, you know.
I'm going to be on the front lines of it, I guess, or relatively speaking, here in Texas.
We all will.
There's no escaping the globalist agenda to depopulate the planet anyway, no matter where you go.
It's all about human depopulation, crushing liberties and freedoms, censoring everybody, global oppression.
And, of course, total annihilation of the human race.
So the best thing we can do is spread the word, raise awareness, prepare to survive, take steps to survive.
Exercise our voting rights if we even make it to the next election.
Legally arm yourself for self-defense.
take advantage of...
All the gear that's available right now that you can still purchase, you know, like body armor from hoplightarmor.com or shieldarms.com has those foldable ARs.
They're good folks over there.
Get yourself some backup BCGs.
Get yourself some backup ammunition and good barter items, you know.
Get yourself some good backup comms equipment in a satellite phone store, sat123.com.
You know, all our sponsors are all legit preparedness gear type of companies.
And we're going to be mentioning some others here coming up in a couple of months as well, have some more solutions to share with you.
So that should be really interesting.
But take advantage of this window of opportunity we have right now to get prepared.
And also, of course, support us.
